The Imitation Game Page #4
Would you like to come
to lunch with us?
What time's lunchtime?
- Christ, Alan, it's a bleeding sandwich.
- What is?
- Lunch.
- I don't like sandwiches.
Never mind.
You know, to pull off
this irascible genius routine,
one actually has to be a genius, Alan.
And yet we're the ones
making progress here, aren't we?
You are?
Yes, we are.
We have decrypted a number
of German messages
by analysing the frequency
of letter distribution.
Oh, even a broken clock is right
twice a day.
That's not progress.
That's just blind luck.
I'm designing a machine that will
allow us to break every message,
every day, instantly.
Who's hungry?
- Let's go.
- I'm hungry.
- What?
Can I have some soup, please?
What do you mean, classified?
No, I am aware of the literal meaning
of the word "classified",
what I'm asking is
have his military records classified?
Yeah, well, I will come down.
Pardon me, I'd like to see
some documents, if I may.
Service records of a MrTuring, Alan.
Foreign Office sent me.
This is unacceptable.
If you wish to discuss a complaint,
I suggest you make a proper appointment.
Alexander... Complaint?
No. No, Hugh Alexander has denied
my requisition for parts and equipment
that I need to build the machine
I have designed.
Your fellow code-breakers
are refusing to work with you
and they've filed a formal complaint.
It is inspired
by an old Polish code machine,
only this one is
infinitely more advanced.
If you don't respond to the complaint,
I shall have to take it up
with the Home Office.
Fine. My response is they're all idiots,
fire them and use the savings
to fund my machine.
I only need about 100,000.
100,000?
Why are you building a machine?
it's highly technical,
you wouldn't understand.
I suggest you make the effort to try.
Enigma is an extremely
well-designed machine.
Our problem is that
we're only using men to try to beat it.
What if only a machine
Well, that's not very technical.
Hugh Alexander
is in charge of your unit.
He said no and that is that.
I simply don't have time for this.
Have you ever won a war, Turing?
I have. Do you know how it's done?
Order. Discipline. Chain of command.
You're not at university any longer.
You are a very small cog
in a very large system
and you will do
as your commanding officer instructs.
Who... Who is your commanding officer?
Winston Churchill,
Number 10 Downing Street, London SW1.
You have a problem with my decision,
you can take it up with him.
Mr Menzies. Mr Menzies!
Are you going to London?
