A Brilliant Young Mind Page #4

Synopsis: In a world difficult to comprehend, Nathan struggles to connect with those around him - most of all his loving mother - but finds comfort in numbers. When Nathan is taken under the wing of unconventional and anarchic teacher, Mr. Humphreys, the pair forge an unusual friendship and Nathan's talents win him a place on the UK team at the International Mathematics Olympiad. From suburban England to bustling Taipei and back again, Nathan builds complex relationships as he is confronted by the irrational nature of love.

than a cup of tea, actually, I think.

- I'm gonna have a glass of wine.

- Okay.

Would you like...

I should probably shoot off.

Okay, no, that's fine.

But I mean, if you're

gonna have one.

Actually, I was thinking maybe,

you know you'd like to...

To join us next month,

take him to the airport.

I know that would

make Nathan happy.

I should probably tell

you before they...

I'm taking a bit of

a break from work.

It's a bit of a forced break.

It's a bit like I'm

being fired, basically.

I'm sorry.

But I wanted to say to you

even though I'm not working

for the school any more, I'd really

like to carry on teaching Nathan.

- Really?

- Yeah. I mean, if that's all right with you?

- That would be amazing.

- Obviously for no money.

Jesus Christ!

My God!

That's a bit of a weird one.

- Thanks for the drink and stuff.

- Not at all.

- Don't worry about it. All right.

- Yeah, no, good.

- Will you be all right? Okay.

- Yeah. Cheers, Julie. Thank you.

- Thank you. Take care.

- All right.

We were just talking, Nathan.

I was looking at Jupiter.

I didn't do it on purpose.

It was just...

It was just nice, you know,

to have someone to talk to.

For once. For me.

Sometimes I feel a bit alone.

Okay.

What else can we write?

Numbers? Say a prime number.

- Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly.

- 353.

353!

Whoa!

Just in time.

Perfect timing.

Fireworks night again, is it?

He's letting you hold

his hand, isn't he?

The sparkler helps.

Come on, Nathan.

It's time to change the fish.

If you come now you can get

an extra scoop of ice cream.

Extra scoop of Ice cream.

And what do I get?

- You don't get anything.

- Go ahead, go ahead.

- I'm lucky.

- Yeah, you get me.

I like a man in a shed.

- Go and get me ice cream.

- But you're not getting...

I told you, you're not getting...

Ice cream, Julie!

Nathan?

Jesus.

Nathan!

Nathan, It's okay.

Nathan, I'm not angry.

Nathan!

Michael? Michael?

- Everything all right?

- Yeah.

I'm quite looking FORWARD

to this in a weird sort of way.

Yeah, I know.

Little trip down memory Lane.

- Okay. We all ready?

- Hang on.

This is for you.

Nathan...

What do you say?

- Thank you.

- Well, I used to use them,

so they're probably cursed.

But, you know, it might remind

you of home or something.

- Very lovely of you.

- Right then.

- Shall we get this show on the road?

- Yep. Let's go.

Nathan?

Can you get in

the back with me?

Nathan, I think Mr. Humphreys will

be more comfortable in the front.

It's okay, darling.

Darling, darling, it's okay.

I'll drive carefully.

No, It's all right.

I'm actually surprisingly bendy.

Christ.

It's Tricky Dicky. Look out.
