- I'm Jean. - Robert. CHEVALIER: Haakon Chevalier. The union meeting at Serber's last month? Right, right, yes. Oh, thank you. CHEVALIER: Robert here says he's not a Communist. Well, then he doesn't know enough about it. Oh, I've read Das Kapital, all three volumes. Does that count? It would make you better read than most party members. Turgid stuff. There's some thinking, um, "Ownership is theft." - "Property." - "Property"? "Property," not "ownership." I'm sorry, I read it in the original German. CHEVALIER: (chuckles) Well.

It's not about the book. It's about the ideas. And you sound uncommitted. Well, I'm committed to thinking freely about how to improve our world. Why limit yourself to one dogma? You're a physicist, you pick and choose rules? Or do you use the discipline to channel your energies into progress? I like a little wiggle room. Do you always tow the party line? I like my wiggle room too.

- I'll bite. - I tried to poison my tutor. Did you hate him? I liked him very much. You just needed to get laid. Took my analyst two years, and I don't think they ever put it that succinctly. You have everyone convinced you're more complicated than you actually are. We're all simple souls, I guess. I'm not.

JEAN: Unexpected. - What? - For a physicist. You only have a shelf full of Freud? Well, actually, my background's more... Uh, Jungian?

Thank you. Mr. Lomanitz. You're gonna be okay. Mr. Snyder. Now let's consider a star. A star. A vast furnace burning in outer space, fire pushing outwards against its own gravity. Balanced. But if that furnace cools... (crackling) and gravity starts winning, it contracts.

What do you know about quantum mechanics? I have a grasp on the basics. Then you're doing it wrong. (classical music playing) Is light made up of particles or waves? Quantum mechanics says it's both. How could it be both? - It can't. - It can't. But it is. It's paradoxical, and yet, it works.
