Who's Big Brother?

You've done your country

a great service, son.

- Captain!

- Yes, sir.

Accompany Dr. Nash.

What are the Russians

moving, General?

Captain Rogers

will escort you...

to the unrestricted

area, Doctor.

Thank you.

Dr. Nash, follow me, please.

None of those who have

said they don't like the method...

have told us

any other method they could use

that would be effective.

And when you hear... It's Dr. Nash.

All right.

Thank you, sir.

Home run at the Pentagon?

Have they actually

taken the word "classified"

out of the dictionary?

Oh, hi.

The air conditioning

broke again.

How am I supposed to be

in here saving the world...

if I'm melting?

Our hearts go

out to you.

You know, two trips

to the Pentagon in four years.

That's two more

than we've had.

It gets better,

John.

Just got our latest

scintillating assignment.

You know, the Russians

have the H-bomb,

the Nazis are repatriating

South America,

the Chinese have

a standing army of 2.8 million,

and I am doing

stress tests on a dam.

You made the cover

of Fortune... again.

Please note the use

of the word "you," not "we."

That was supposed

to be just me.

Oh.

So not only do they rob me

of the Fields Medal,

now they put me on the cover

of Fortune magazine...

with these hacks,

these scholars of trivia.

John, exactly what's

the difference...

between genius

and most genius?

Quite a lot.

He's your son.

Anyway, you've got

I've always got 1 0 minutes.

Before your new class?

Can I not get a note

from a doctor or something?

You are a doctor, John,

and no.

Now, come on, you know the drill,

we get these beautiful facilities,

M.I. T. gets America's

great minds of today...

teaching America's

great minds of tomorrow.

Poor bastards.

Now, have a nice

day at school.

The bell's ringing.

The eager young minds

of tomorrow.

Can we leave one open,

Professor?

It's really hot, sir.

Your comfort comes second...

to my ability

to hear my own voice.

Personally,

I think this class will be

a waste... of your-

and what is

infinitely worse-

my time.

However, here we are.

So you may attend or not.

You may complete

your assignments

at your whim.

We have begun.

Miss.

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Hey, hey!

Hi!

Um, we have

a little problem.

It's extremely hot in here

with the windows closed...

and extremely noisy

with them open.

So, I was wondering

if there was any way you could,

I don't know,

maybe work someplace else...

for about 45minutes?

- Not a problem.

- Thank you so much!

At a break!

Got it!

Let's go. Clean it up a little bit.

As you will find

in multivariable calculus,

there is often...

a number of solutions
