She's looking at Nash.

Oh, God. He may have

the upper hand now,

but wait until he

opens his mouth.

Remember the last time?

Oh, yes, that was one

for the history books.

- Adam Smith needs revision.

- What are you talking about?

If we all go for the blonde,

we block each other.

Not a single one of us

is gonna get her.

So then we go

for her friends,

but they will all

give us the cold shoulder...

because nobody likes

to be second choice.

Well, what if no one goes

for the blonde?

We don't get

in each other's way,

and we don't insult

the other girls.

That's the only way we win.

That's the only

way we all get laid.

Adam Smith said...

the best result comes...

from everyone

in the group doing...

what's best

for himself, right?

That's what he

said, right?

Right.

Incomplete.

Incomplete, okay?

Because the best result

will come...

from everyone

in the group...

doing what's best

for himself...

and the group.

Nash, if this is some way

for you to get the blonde

on your own,

you can go to hell.

Governing dynamics.

Governing dynamics.

Adam Smith...

was wrong.

Oh, here we go. Careful, careful.

Thank you.

"C" of "S" equals "C" of "T."

You do realize this

flies in the face...

of a 1 50 years

of economic theory?

Yes, I do, sir.

That's rather presumptuous,

don't you think?

It is, sir.

Well, Mr. Nash,

with a breakthrough

of this magnitude,

I'm confident you will get

any placement you like.

Wheeler Labs,

they'll ask you to recommend

two team members.

Yes!

Stills and Frank

are excellent choices.

Sol and Bender, sir.

Sol and Bender are

extraordinary mathematicians.

Has it occurred to you

that Sol and Bender...

might have plans

of their own?

We made it!

Wheeler, we made it!

Cheers, cheers, cheers!

To- Oh! Oh!

Okay, awkward moment,

gentlemen.

Umm...

Hmm.

Governing dynamics.

Congratulations, John.

Thanks.

Toast!

To Wheeler Labs!

To Wheeler!

General, the analyst

from Wheeler Lab is here.

Dr. Nash, your coat?

Thank you, sir.

Doctor. General, this is

Wheeler team leader

Dr. John Nash.

Glad you could

come, Doctor.

Hello.

Right this way.

We've been intercepting

radio transmissions

from Moscow.

The computer can't

detect a pattern,

but I'm sure

it's code.

Why is that, General?

Ever just know

something, Dr. Nash?

Constantly.

We've developed several ciphers.

If you'd like to review

our preliminary data...

Doctor?

I need a map.

Starkey Corners, Maine.

Prairie Portage,

Minnesota.

These are latitudes

and longitudes.

There are a least 1 0 others.

They appear to be routing orders

across the border into the U.S.

Extraordinary.

Gentlemen, we need

to move on this.
