than a sheep bears to a goat.

There are those of us who might

take comfort in this fact.

Consider the implications.

If every single living thing is different

from every other living thing...

then diversity becomes

life's one irreducible fact.

Only variations are real.

And to see them...

you simply have to open your eyes.

Hello. Mind if I sit here?

Why?

Because you're

the only unattached male...

and I'm the only unattached female.

That's very sensible.

A man who cooks. How refreshing.

I picked it up when I went out west

to collect galls.

I was gone for 11 months, and I don't think I

saw more than a dozen people the whole time.

- Sounds lonely.

- Oh.

I enjoyed it.

I've been reading up on gall wasps.

- I think I know why they appeal to you.

- Uh-huh.

They have great big wings,

but they can't fly.

They are incapable of getting

from this hill to that hill...

unless it's close enough to walk...

which means it's possible...

to retrace each generation's steps,

hill by hill...

by hill by hill...

all the way back

to the very beginning.

The gall wasp Garden of Eden.

That's very interesting, Miss Millen.

You've managed to bridge the gap between Darwin

and the Book of Genesis in a single phrase.

- McMillen.

- Mmm?

- Clara McMillen.

- Oh!

I'm Prok.

- Sorry?

- It's a nickname my graduate

students have given me.

Pro... fessor K... insey. Prok.

At first I worried that it suggested

an inappropriate level of intimacy...

between teacher and student...

that could lead to

a loss of respect down the line.

I think it just means they like you.

Yes. Eventually I realized that.

Um, tomato bisque and sandwiches?

Please.

Such an impressive collection.

Thanks. They used to be

categorized by period.

But then I rearranged them

alphabetically by composer.

I find it's more efficient.

Did you ever think about playing professionally?

Because you're very good.

Oh, please. Thank you.

But, uh, "very good" isn't good enough.

I got you a present.

- Ah!

- Here.

Oh.

Oh, how marvelous!

- They're the right size.

- Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

At what age did you first

have premarital intercourse?

I didn't.

- So, at the time of marriage you were a virgin?

- Yes.

Was your spouse also a virgin?

Yes.

When you got married,

did you want to get married?

Very much.

I see marriage as a lifetime

partnership between equals.

You're a brilliant scholar

with a keenly perceptive mind...

and a profound respect for nature.

You're a capable hiker and camper

and a champion swimmer...

and you're the one girl in a million

who's as interested in insects as I am.

To be honest, Prok...

I'm just not sure.

Okay.

- I consider myself a free thinker.
