We're a couple of New York Jews. How do you know Dutch? Well, I thought I'd better learn it when I got here this semester. You learned enough Dutch in six weeks to give a lecture on quantum mechanics? Wanted to challenge myself. Quantum physics wasn't challenging enough. - Schvitzer. - Schvitzer? - Show-off. - (chuckles) Dutch in six weeks, but you never learned Yiddish? They don't speak it so much my side of the park. Screw you. You homesick? Oh, you know it.

No, thank you. It's a long way to Zurich. You get any skinnier, we're gonna lose you between the seat cushions. I'm Rabi. Oppenheimer. I caught your lecture on molecules. Caught some of it.

Ever get the feeling our kind isn't entirely welcome here? Physicists? 'S funny. Not in the department. They're all Jewish too.
Oppenheimer

You know analysis? When I was in post-grad at Cambridge, I had a little trouble.

There's a German you have to seek out.

- 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?
Oppenheimer

Read this. Well, in this part, Vishnu reveals his multi-armed self... No.

What's this? Sanskrit. You can read this? I'm learning.
