"Okay, now..." "No, no, no, no." "I'm not ready, Lord." "I'm not ready." "I need more time!" "Okay, Scott, whenever you're ready." "Your aeroplane." " Okay." "How about showing me a steep turn?" " All right, to the right." "More back pressure." "Watch your altitude." "Good." "Good, nice job." "Okay." "How do you feel about giving me a power-off stall?" "Pull the nose up and keep it up until you start to feel the bumping, okay?" "Good." "Good." "There's the warning horn." "Now level off." "Level off." "Scott, level off." "It won't recover!" " Scott, don't fight it." " What do I do?" " Just let go." " What?" "The aeroplane knows what to do." "You've just got to trust it." "Come on, Scott, have a little faith." "Okay." "Now, you see, the air starts flowing over the wings again." "The aeroplane starts flying itself." "Grab the yoke and bring it back." "You're pulling out again." "Nice straight and level." "All right." "Your aeroplane." "For crying out loud." "Doug, we've got problems." "Tell me about it, man." "What's the status on our planes out there?" "Those mechanics were supposed to be done yesterday." "Well, Ray called." "He said they needed more parts." " You gotta be kidding me." " Look, I don't mean to load this on you, too, but Garth and Greg both submitted their resignations this morning." "What, they couldn't wait two weeks?" "They said they're flight instructors, not charity workers." "Well, they weren't that good, anyway." " Aero-Precision." " Ray, it's Doug." "Hey, what happened to that promise?" "These planes don't do me any good sitting on the ground." "Doug, I just don't wanna be stiffed again," " you know what I mean?" " When did I stiff you?" " On that Mark Hammers job." " That was not my fault." " It was in the bank's opinion." " Well, what do you think this meeting's for?" "Come on, man, just don't leave me hanging here, please." "Look, Doug, don't kill the messenger, all right?" "But the landlord's guys are here." "Perfect." " This is Doug." " Don't forget the wine." " Rats." " They're gonna be here in 20 minutes." "I hate the holidays." "Dang it, Doug, I gave up a double shift for this." "Don't make me do this by myself." " Lindsay!" " Mommy?" " Go get the dustpan." " Sorry, Mommy." " I am not covering for you." " Abby, I will get there when I can." "You'd better before they do." " Here he is." " It's about time." "Hey, guys." " Doug." " Heard you were lurking." "Fixing the place up, huh?" "Yeah, we're getting ready for a dog-and-pony show next week, you know, trying to land some investors." "Doug, we know things have been tough for you." " It's tough all the way around." " We're gonna get it going." "You watch." "Point is, we can't afford to keep carrying you any longer." "You've got until the first to make good on your rent." "Come on." "You're not really gonna kick me out." "It's Christmas." "Not for another 12 days." "Look, Doug, you wanna take it up with the board, be my guest." "We'll see you in a couple of weeks." "...59 degrees." "The rest of your week is looking bright and sunny." "Is that a baby crying?" " A baby." " Hey." " Hey, Dad." " Hey." "He does exist." " Starting to think you'd forgotten about us." " Sorry." "Meetings ran late." " That's okay." " I see you've got your hands full." " Yeah, we're having fun." " Hey, Mom." "Hey." "You're gonna work yourself into an early grave, my dear." " Wouldn't stop the bill collectors." " Poor Abby, all alone to fend off the in-laws." " Where is she?" " She went to go change." " Care to explain this?" " Don't overreact." "It's just a napkin." "Is that what you tell Heather?" "That ours is "just a marriage?"" "Sweetheart, you know that it is you that I love." "I found that in your jacket, Cole." "Are you going to deny it?" "I can't deny anything, Veronica." "I also can't deny my feelings for you." "No!" "I'm sick of your lies." " What are you doing?" " I've had it with you..." "My parents are downstairs waiting for you." "Your parents are downstairs waiting for you." "Just like the rest of your family." "You promised." " Abby, chill." "I got held up." " Held up?" " You're not here any more." " Forgive me for trying to run a business." "It feels a lot like you're just trying to run." "I know that two girls and a mortgage isn't your fantasy, but it's our life." "You can't put that on hold while you go chase this dream that's not happening." " Thanks for the vote of confidence." " I just..." "I don't understand why you can't go downstairs and ask your parents for some help." " Because it's none of their business." " No!" "Hello, 911?" "Abby, I already know what he's gonna say." "Never do business with family." "Must've been the third time I told the guy, but the poor schmuck didn't listen to me." "They were bankrupt in six months, and they haven't spoken a word to each other since." "Lindsay, would you like to say grace?" " Okay." "Jim?" " Sure." "Say grace?" "We thank you for the food that we're about to eat." "We thank you for health and happiness and for those we love." "Amen." " Amen." " Amen." "Go ahead." "Dig in." "This is delicious." "I don't know how you do it." "A nursing career, two kids, and the house just looks wonderful." "I helped clean, too, so now you can't look down your nose." " Lindsay." " Well, that's what you said." "Thank you." "It'd be nice if I could get some help." "Thought any more about staying home?" "Well, the bills need to be paid somehow." "So, how is business, Doug?" "Well, I'd like to get some newer 172s, upgrade the simulator." "If we stand any shot at getting the Sky West contract, we're gonna need to get another classroom." " How much are we talking?" " All told, maybe $300,000." "Whoa." "That's a lot of diapers." " You ever hear about Doug's first solo?" " Excuse me." "What's a solo?" "It's when a pilot flies by himself for the very first time." "Your dad used to earn money for flight lessons by delivering diapers after school." " Abby, do you want some help?" " Mom..." " So, here comes your dad..." "... sit." "...flying low and slow, full flaps." "All of a sudden, the engine cuts out, and he's scared out of his mind!" " And he knows he has to land..." " Why do you do this?" " Just don't." " "Just don't."" " That about sums up our whole marriage." " Don't give me that." "So, what do you want me to do?" "Chuck it?" "Throw away everything I've worked for just so I can stay home and play nanny?" " I did not say that." " What the heck are you saying?" "Pretty soon, there're dogs hanging off the wings, the stabiliser, the landing gear everywhere!" "Anyway, your dad tries to go around, right?" "But he can't get enough lift because there's too much weight." " Hello?" " Anyway, he grabs a hold of the stick and he tries to yank it so that he can throw the dogs off." " What?" " All of a sudden," " there're dogs flying everywhere..." " How is that possible?" "...over the goalpost, into the crowd," " onto the grass." " No." "Well, doesn't he have anybody he can call?" "I don't know, somebody he lives with?" " Who is that, Grandma?" " I don't know." "I don't know." "Okay, okay." "Hold on a second." "Okay." "Thank you." " Sorry about that." " Who is that, Daddy?" "It was a lawyer, honey." "He said my father wants to see me." " Grandpa?" "He's right here." " No, honey, not Grandpa." "Gotta give you credit for coming." "A lot of people would've been scared off by this sort of thing." "What sort of thing are we talking about, exactly?" " Doug, I'd like you to meet Delilah Fisher." " Didn't know I had a brother." "Please, have a seat." " We're related?" " Delilah's your half-sister, your biological father's daughter from a previous relationship." " Hey, what's up, brother?" " This is my friend, Sam." "Thank you both for coming." "I didn't think my birth parents had the right to know where I was." "Well, yours was an open adoption." "Your biological parents could've contacted you any time." "Really?" "Is it just him, or..." "Your birth parents were married at the time you were adopted, but I don't have any current information on your mother." " Probably dumped her, too." " What are you talking about?" "Well, he bailed on me and my mom to be with her." "No reason to believe he stopped there." "We think he may be mentally ill." "He was pretty combative when the police tried to enforce city codes on the property." "We started processing a psychiatric detainment order." "Well, that's when he pointed us to you." "He kept saying something about you being his last connection." "Last connection?" "To what?" " I don't know." " Well, what do you want us to do?" "If you want to get involved, you'd become responsible for him," " for his estate." " How much is he worth?" "Look, before you make a decision, why don't you go see him?" "I am not interested in being rejected by my father a second time." "I'll go see him." "Great." "You know, I would call him and tell him that you were coming," " but he never answers his phone." " This is perfect." "My mother told me not to come here, said I should just pretend he's dead." "Come on, Sam, we're going." "Hello?" "Anybody home?" " Leave me alone!" " What the heck?" "I'm not crazy!" " I'm from the agency!" " What agency?" "The adoption agency." "It's Doug." "I'm your son!" " You're lying." "They would've called." " Stop shooting at me!" "They said they would've called you but that you never answer your phone." " Well, prove it." " Prove it?" "You called for me, you prove it." "What's your daughter's name?" "Amanda." " Wrong." "It's Lindsay." " Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Lindsay's our oldest." "Amanda's her little sister." "You had another girl?" "Let me help you up." " I'm sorry." " Hey, it's okay." "No harm, no foul." "I do love you, you know." "Come on inside, I need your help." "Come on." "Let's assume Higgs is right and his boson exists." "The Standard Model still doesn't take into account the most important thing." "What's that?" "Gravity." "This detectable matter only accounts for one-quarter of the mass of our universe." "There's something we're not seeing." "When's the last time you aired this place out?" "Maybe gravity is weaker than electricity because it leaks into other dimensions." "Perhaps dark matter is simply an inverse form of gravity, drawn back on itself." "You look healthy." "Lory would be so proud." "Hey!" "Want an apple?" "They're from the neighbour's yard." "Kids throw them at the house." "Newton's best friend, huh?" "Who's Lory?" "She was my dove." "My perfect one." "Yes, of course, yes." "I almost have it, you know?" " What's that?" " The theory of everything." "The theory of everything?" "The universe is quite simple, you know." "Three families of particles, and three fundamental forces." "Now, the trick is to find the binding logic, the line of reason defining the underlying singularity, the one force, that one particle, binding logic, one law that governs all of the rest." "We thought we'd get the answer from Einstein's theory of relativity, but even it fails inside of black holes." "But, if we introduce strings..." "By introducing strings, we can work around the problem in higher dimensions." "You see, in 10 dimensions, the three fundamental forces are an elegant counterpart of gravity." " What's Abby like?" " You know Abby?" " Do you love her?" " How do you know Abby?" "I have pictures of my love." "Come on, I'll show you." "It's good to be in love, isn't it?" "To feel the pull of something so strong." " You okay?" " Yeah, I'm okay." "I'm okay." "I suppose I should dust that." "Come on, sit down here." "Photographs." "They do leave out the soul." "Is she my mother?" "Yes." "She was a lily among thorns." "She defined what it was to love." "What happened to her?" "She..." "She went to be with her Jesus." "Her faith was so simple, just like a little child." " You didn't share it?" " I wanted to." "I still want to." "But she followed her heart, and the heart only believes what it feels." "But the mind believes what it knows." " You know, they want to put you away." " They don't understand." "Glad I'm not alone." "Perhaps in higher dimension, faith and knowledge themselves are simply a manifestation of an underlying singularity." "To have one would be to have the other." "To find that which governs both would be to find God." "To find God would be to find Lory." "What do you mean he's not dead?" "I can't believe you'd make a decision like that without asking me." " I didn't commit to anything." " It's a huge responsibility." "You should see his house." "A couple of days with a bulldozer" " we could sell it for serious dough." " I'm sure he'd love to hear that." "Well, the guys at the airport would." " So, what's gonna happen to him?" " Does it matter?" "Just can't put him out on the street." "We'll rent him an apartment, give him a box of magic markers, let him be." "Your compassion never ceases to amaze me." "You wanna take care of him?" "'Cause I'm open to suggestion." " Daddy, how come you have two daddies?" " That's because he's very lucky, sweetheart." "I want another daddy." " You didn't mean that, honey." " Why not?" " I'm going to the office." " It's 8:00." "Bills gotta get paid somehow." "Jesus, I know you haven't heard from me in a while, but I sure could use your help." "I just can't do this by myself any more." "Please, God, just let me know you're there." "Gene?" "It's Doug!" "I'm unarmed!" " Hello?" "What are you doing in there?" " It's a matter of entropy, you know." " Order left unattended turns to chaos." " Well, it wouldn't kill you to hire a gardener." "They were her passion." "The horses." "The way she kept the grounds." "This house was her castle in the midst of her kingdom." "No one could take care of it the way she did." "This was her chariot." " I keep it for her, just the way she left it." " When's the last time you got out?" "No, no, no, no." "There's no time for that." "Everything I need is delivered." " What, rotten apples and yesterday's news?" " Neutrinos." "Fermilab is the largest nuclear physics lab in the United States." "And up until now, theirs was the most powerful supercollider in the world." "But CERN Lab in Switzerland is creating a beam of neutrinos that will reach all the way to Italy." "Subatomic particles shot through the earth and picked up by a receiver 500 miles away." "Now, the receiver will pick up any changes in the particle's fundamental nature during travel." "If it does, it'll prove the dynamic nature of even the most basic particles." "We'll be one step closer to unification." "That's great, but I'm talking about something practical." "Now, the thing should be online in about six months." "And the state's asking me to take custody of you." "The thing is, I don't think that's gonna work, you know." "I don't have a lot of time right now." "I'm in kind of a bind with my business." " Show those boys at CERN where to look!" " Would you shut up a sec and listen to me?" "Why aren't you listening to me?" "You're the reason she's gone, you know." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean that." "I'm sorry." " What do you mean, it's my fault?" " No, that's wrong, wrong." "She loved you." " What happened to her?" " She's part of the lion now, waiting." "Crazy old man." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Have you ever seen the aurora borealis?" "No, no, please." "Let me explain." "Some people are content just to look in wonder." "They accept great mysteries without understanding, without knowledge." "They know nothing of the solar wind blowing across the Earth's magnetic fields." "Electrons charged gasses in the ionosphere." "Oxygen glows green, nitrogen blue." "It's a simple molecular reaction." "It's not a mystery." "Not when you know the facts." "You ever actually experienced the northern lights?" "I don't need to experience to understand." "The mystery is revealed right here." "What do you got, an equation for God?" "Almost." "If God truly exists, he must have left a pathway for us to find him." "And if heaven is a real place, there must be a door through which we can enter." "And this may be the key to that door, to find my Lory again." "I'm sorry." " I'm just looking to pay off some debt." " Well, perhaps we can help each other." "Economics, thermodynamics share much in their nature." "Come on, Doug." "Open your mind." "Envision the possibilities." "Why don't you invite him over?" "He could meet his grandkids." "We could all get to know him a little better." "It'll take a pack of wild dogs to tear him away from that place." "Sounds like someone else I know." "I got a better idea." "Why don't we take the party to him?" " What, now?" " Yeah." "Doug, I just got off work." "The kids need to eat." "We just can't pick up and go over there." "The least you can do is give him a call." "I'm not going over there and wasting my whole entire evening while you sit..." "I wanna do this together." "Hello?" "Gene?" "Daddy, is that him?" "Gene, it's okay." "It's Doug." "Yeah." " I brought the family." " Well, come on in!" " Yeah." "Who are all these beautiful people?" " Well, this is Amanda." " This is Lindsay." " Yeah." "She'll come out sooner or later." "And this is..." "And this must be Abby." "Just like a star in the heavens." " Nice to meet you, too." " Yes, yes, yes." " When was this shot?" " About a year before you were born." " She's beautiful." " Is that the dead lady?" "Lindsay." "How would you like a piece of homemade apple pie?" "We brought dinner." "If I'd known you were coming I would've cleaned up." "I'm sorry." "Oh, please." "With two kids, I consider this character." "It's beautiful." "Wow." "When's the last time someone's cooked for you?" "Well, Lory used to go out in the yard." "She'd pick fresh peaches, cook up a cobbler that could spin the world the other way around." "Yeah." "And she'd probably say this had the makings of a blue ribbon." " Aren't we gonna say grace?" " Yeah." "That is a wonderful idea." "Would you like to lead?" " No." " Okay, then I will." "Dear Lord, thank you for this time to spend with new friends." "Thank you for this delicious food." "And most of all, thank you for those we love." "Amen." "Amen." "Do you know why they say "amen" and not "a-women"?" " No." " Because they sing hymns, not hers." " No!" " That's true." "It's true." " Where did you get that one?" " From my grandfather, I guess." " That's good." "That's good." " Would you like some pepper?" " Just a drop." "Yes, please, thank you." " Okay." "Yeah." "That sounds like you." " I'm just getting warmed up." " Sweetheart, you want some salt?" "I've got some other ones, too." "Precious children." "They remind me of my students." "You've done well." "Team effort." "Lory would be so proud." "She used to call children the laughter of God." "Yeah, we were so excited to have our own." "You know, I knew she was pregnant before she told me." "Nothing else could have kept her from riding." "I didn't know that was the last time she would ever ride." "She was four months along when they diagnosed the cancer." "They could have cured it with radiation." "They could have cured it." "I hated you for her choice." "She sacrificed herself so that you could live." "She died shortly after you were born." "I never should have given you up." "Please, forgive me." "I'm here now." "I remember, her favourite times were running the horses on the beach." "She would lift up her arms." "She would pretend she was flying, and I was always too scared to let go." "I can only imagine the view she had in her mind," "the view she has now." "Taking all these numbers into account, the most important thing an investor wants to know is what is the return on his investment." ""'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house..." " Santa Claus." " "...not a creature was..."" "The budget has a major flaw." "That is, if you don't trim some of the fat." "You could put in projections that you could do on the internet." "You've not taken into account yet for any marketers." " What are we gonna put up on the board?" " If you go on the internet" " with your marketing..." " An organisational chart, this is something you've talked about earlier, but I really still don't quite understand what you mean by it." "And maybe one more chart." "If I feel there's anything else we can..." "It's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." "I'm afraid this one isn't quite as big as the others." "Thanks." "I would have liked to have had a little more uniformity." "No, Gene." "I mean, thanks." "I'm proud of you." " Hey." "They're here." " Well, send them in." "Gentlemen, the one thing you're looking for is return on investment." "Now, my partner and I are going to show you the path to achieving that goal." "Now, if you look here at the financial process, you'll see your investment capital here." "Blue Yonder Pilot Training services..." " Houston, the eagle has landed." " Beautiful." " You're gonna wake the baby." " We'll give her a glass, too." " It's Christmas Eve." " Hello!" "Sleeping!" " Sorry, honey." "Daddy's just celebrating." " They haven't written the cheque yet." "They will." "And when they do, I will have you to thank for it." "I just pointed the way." "You're the one who walked through the door." "Well, then, a toast." "To good directions." " Gene!" " Gene, Gene, you okay?" "Get him in the chair." "Get him in the chair." " Get him in the chair." " I got you." "I got you." "It's okay." "Go call 911." "Lindsay, go get the medical kit." "Gene, I need you to breathe." "We need an ambulance right away." "My..." "My father just collapsed." "Get Lory." "Mr Holloway, I'm Dr Woodford." " Hi." " Please, come with me." "How's my father?" "I assume you've been informed about his condition?" " Everybody seems to want to call him crazy." " Well, he's afflicted with CJD." "We've been giving him medication for six months." "Is he gonna be all right?" "It's a brain disorder." "Highly unusual in that it affects one out of a million people worldwide." "We thought it was a virus at first, but we tracked it down to an abnormal protein affecting vision, physical coordination, speech." "Think of it as an accelerated case" " of Alzheimer's." " Alzheimer's?" "Isn't that fatal?" "I'm sorry." "I wish I could give you better news." "We're trying to track this protein down, but running tests on different foods and the environment, all we've come up with so far is questions." " Well, what's gonna happen to him?" " Well, it's degenerative." "Over time he'll lose memory and other mental functions." "Toward the end, they can't even take care of themselves." "They become like little children." " Is it hereditary?" " We don't know." "Well, how long does he have?" "I'd hesitate to say more than about six months, a year if he's lucky." "I'm sorry." "I thought he would have told those closest to him." "Well, we only really got to know each other a short while ago." "Gene." "Gene." " Hey." " How you feeling?" " I thought I had more time." " Why didn't you say something?" "Would you have come?" "You're my last hope." " I didn't want to burden you." " No, Gene, you haven't." "I'm glad you found me." " Thank you." "Thank you." " What do you want me to do?" "Help me." "Help me finish my work." "We could move him in here with us." "Move Amanda in with Lindsay." "I could take a leave of absence from the hospital, could take care of him." "I mean, it'd only be for a couple months." " He'd be a fish out of water." " At least he wouldn't be alone." "What if we move in with him?" "There's more than enough room." "I'm gonna pretend like you didn't say that." "You said yourself it's only a couple of months." "I am not moving my family into that disaster area." " So we clean it up." " It doesn't need cleaning." " It needs excavating." " Abby." "We don't even have time to keep our own house clean." "Abby, please." "He needs this." "I need this." " Take it easy." "Take it easy." " Home sweet home." "Why don't you get the stuff?" "We'll start cleaning up." "Sure you don't want me to call National Geographic?" "String theory is all about finding the most basic element in the universe." "Now, imagine a tiny vibrating string, like a guitar string, a billion times smaller than an atom." "Now, if it vibrates at a certain frequency, it creates a note, like an electron or a neutrino." "Other notes are seen as forces." "Gravity, electromagnetism." "But here's the trick." "My equation shows that the only way we can get all known particles and forces to work together is if these tiny vibrating strings operate in 10 space-time dimensions." "Okay." "See, that's where I'm lost." "How can there be more dimensions than we're aware of?" "Imagine a two-dimensional universe, completely flat, like the surface of a leaf." "Now, a two-dimensional creature living on that surface would have no concept of up or down." "I could be this close to him, and he would have no idea that I exist." "Now, if I put my finger down in front of him, he's in for quite a shock, 'cause suddenly, from out of nowhere, there's a barrier blocking his way." "Now if I lift my finger, from his point of view, it disappears." "But just because he doesn't see it, does that mean it no longer exists?" "No." "It's right there." "The four dimensions we know about, height, width, depth, time, they're just the tail of the lion." "But if we can prove my theory, we can reveal the entire lion and open up a world bigger than we ever imagined." " Like heaven." " Why not?" "If a caterpillar can one day be transformed into a butterfly and live as a higher-dimensional being, maybe so can we." " Martha Stewart, eat your heart out." " Thank you." " Yeah, thank me when it's over." " Yeah." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to say that." "It's strange, you know?" "Everything's been going so great." "I thought God was answering my prayer." "I don't get it." "I mean, why would God bring Gene into my life and then just turn right around and take him away?" "Maybe God didn't bring him into your life." "Maybe he brought you into his." "You have the answer he's looking for, Doug." "Faith in Jesus." "I mean, think about it." "Gene's been trying to find God, eternal life." "When Jesus died on that cross, he took away our sins." "He opened the door to eternal life." "But to walk through that door, you gotta have faith." "Maybe that's why God brought you here, to help Gene find the answer for himself." "Everything's gonna be all right." "I love you." "I love you, too." " Doug." " Hey, what's up, Sean?" "Where you been, man?" "I've been calling you." "They're waiting for you." " Who?" " Them." " There he is." " Howard Hughes himself." "Did we have a meeting?" "Don't let us down." "What the heck?" " Put it down, sir." " This is my land." "We're not leaving." " Gene, please, just put the gun down." " Tell them I'm not crazy." " What in the world's going on?" " You need to make them understand." " We don't want to hurt you, sir." " I tried to call you on the cell phone," " but you wouldn't answer the phone." " I'm not crazy." " What do you want to do with this guy?" " Doug, please do something." " State your business here, sir." " He's my father." "Tell them, Doug." "Tell them I'm not crazy." "We have a psychiatric detainment order here, Mr Holloway." " What the heck are you doing here?" " What should have been done from the start." " Doesn't mean anything to us." " I don't understand." "You're gonna get half of the estate." "What's to understand?" " Make them go away." " Gene, are you okay?" " I won't let them take me." " Nobody's taking anybody, okay?" " Just put the gun down." " But, Doug, we're almost there." " We've worked so hard." " Stay back, sir!" " Sir, you stay where you are." " You'll tell them about our work, right?" "I'll tell them whatever you want me to, okay?" "Just put the gun down." "Come on, Gene, we'll work this out, okay?" "Just give me the gun." " I trust you." " Go, go, go!" " Give me the gun." " Okay, okay." " Give me the gun." " Okay." "Don't hurt him." " They've got cuffs on me, Doug." " Don't hurt him!" "You need to calm down, sir." "Don't tell me to calm down." "He's my father." " You're here illegally, Mr Holloway." " Get your hands off me!" " This is his house." " He is not competent to take care of himself." "We petitioned the courts to grant a temporary custody to your sister, Delilah Fisher." "Look, Doug, I appreciate what you're trying to do." "It's just that I think he'd be better off with professional care." "Don't take him!" "Care?" "You don't care the first thing about him." " I wonder where I learned that from." " Let him go!" "This isn't gonna work." "We're gonna draft up a will and have him sign it." "It'll never hold up, given his mental condition." " Let him go!" " Back off!" "Back off!" "Hey, can we get a hand here?" "Come here." "I'm done playing." "I'm not playing." " Stop!" "Stop it!" " Lindsay!" "Oh, my God!" "You sick piece of trash." "I'm gonna tear you apart!" " Get him out of here!" "Now!" " Leave my son alone!" "Leave him alone!" "Get him out of here!" " Easy." " Come on." "All right." "All right." "Go back to your car now." " Don't do this!" " Don't take it personally." " I'm just doing a favour for my mom." " How can you do this?" "Get this show on the road." "It's over, everybody." "Get out of here!" "Mommy!" "Daddy!" " It's okay." "It's okay." " Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Listen, I know what room he's in." "Can't I just go back?" " Nobody's allowed in without an escort, sir." " You've gotta be kidding me." " Are you here to see Mr Holland?" " Yes, how is he?" "Why don't you come back with me?" "Gene?" "Gene?" "Gene?" "Gene?" "I love you." " Lory." " No, Gene." "Gene, please." "Gene, let go of my arm." "Mr Holland, please." "Let go, please." " Come on, just calm down." "Relax." "Relax." " Don't do that." "No, no, no." " You okay?" " Yeah." "You have 10 minutes." "Gene." "Abby, the kids..." "Okay?" "Yeah, they're okay." "We're all concerned, though." "Delilah just seems to want to stick you in here and throw away the key." "We were too young, far too young." "What happened between you and her mother?" "Physical attraction." "Pure and simple." "When the feelings faded, we had nothing." "But I learned." "Love became a choice with Lory, a balanced, dynamic equation." "Sometimes you unveil feelings, other times silence," "questions," "but there was always a commitment." " CERN." " What?" " The CERN project." "Neutrinos." " The particle beam?" "I have to prepare my research for the presentation." "Gene." "Gene, relax." "Relax." "Hey, hey, just take it easy." "We're gonna get you out of here." "As a judge, I continually pray for the wisdom of Solomon." "Mr Holloway, I commend you for your patience and your compassion." "I know how difficult it must be for you and your family right now." "But, considering your father's behaviour and his medical history," "I believe it is in his best interest to receive professional care." "It's the ruling of this court that Eugene David Holland be declared legally incompetent, subject to ongoing evaluation as directed by the State." "A conservatorship shall be established, with executor privileges hereby granted" " to Delilah Holland Fisher." " No!" " Thank you." " He shouldn't be in there." "I'm sorry, Mr Holloway, but my decision is final." "Well, it's wrong!" " Counsellor." " Doug." "I advise you to tell your client to watch his tongue, for your sake as well as his." "Good evening." "Doug, I'm sorry." "That's it." " Liquidate everything." " You got it." "Sweetheart, I need you to look after your sister." "I'll be right back." " Okay." " Thank you." " Hey." " Hey." " How's it going?" " The things that define our lives, huh?" " You want me to take that for you?" " Yeah, I think that's the last of it." "Thank you." " We'll meet you out in the car." " All right." " You take real pleasure in this, don't you?" " The property's been sold, Mr Holloway." " The developers are ready to get started." " Hold on." "Is everybody out?" "Yeah, everybody's out." "Okay, kids." "Let's get in the car." "Yeah, bring them in." "Visiting hours are over." "So, what does that matter?" "I'm just bringing him his stuff." "You don't understand, Mr Holloway." "He needs rest." "I do understand." "What he needs is his research." "Why don't you give it to me, and I'll take it to him?" "No, no." "There's new findings here." "I have to show him." "If you explain it to me, I'll pass it along." "Fermilab just increased the power of their Tevatron beam line." "They're setting up the DZero detector to search for the Higgs boson way ahead of CERN." "Well, they won't have the power of the CERN beam, but they're sure gonna give it a shot." "Never underestimate the power of American ingenuity." "You okay?" "We must work quickly." "Gene, what happens if you don't find proof in time?" "Einstein himself said, "God doesn't roll dice."" "I don't see why I should start." "But given all you know, all the theories," "I mean, the fact that you're so close to a solution..." "Wouldn't probability suggest an outcome even if you didn't have every piece of the puzzle?" "You really have been listening, haven't you?" "I just don't want to see you disappointed." "Have a little faith." "That was a joke." "If Fermilab is increasing the power of their accelerator, we might finally be able to split even the smallest of atomic particles." "How many different types of bosons are there?" "Now, if we can find uniformity in the resulting patterns of decay, we'll have discovered our theoretical string." "So, the Higgs boson is one of the particles that carries force..." "So you have the kernel, which is zero." "K, right, equals zero." "Just twist off..." "...so I get this properly." "Now you've got electrons, neutrinos..." "...in seven dimensions." "...quarks and leptons are all..." "So, you're extrapolating that..." "...the very same string." "Right?" "Because if you have the string twisted..." "And that's pretty well defined at the DZero detector." "That's what Fermilab is doing." " Exactly." " Well, no wonder." "Well, who have you shown this to?" "Would you guys just prove this dumb theory?" "Let me die in peace." "Think about it, Doug." "We must stand at the threshold of a singular equation defining everything, time and space, higher dimensions." "Yes, then I will know." "Then I can believe." "With such an equation I can know the mind of God." "Oh, my gosh." "Yeah, this is why they pay us the big bucks." "This is my big day in the park." "This is my day in the sun." "Have to pick up after your garbage?" "I don't even know what you're writing, what you're scribbling." "You're sitting there wasting my time." "I wish you would shut up and stop telling me about your theories." "I'm tired of hearing about your big theory." " Hey, Gene." "Hey." " You're delusional." "You're highly delusional." "You're not gonna believe this." "Abby's pregnant." " Pregnant?" " Yeah." "You're gonna have another grandchild." "You have to stop it." "Do you understand?" "You have to stop it." " She's gonna die." " Whoa, whoa, hey, hey, Gene, slow down." "We're talking about Abby." "She's okay." "She's fine." "Are you okay?" "Yes." "I forgot what I was working on." "I was working on something." "Gene, the doc said this would happen." " I'm not gonna find her, am I?" " Hey, don't you give up." "But without knowledge?" "Gene, you remember what you said, about there being a singularity?" "That in a higher dimension, faith and knowledge are just two sides of the same coin?" "Maybe the answer you're looking for isn't meant to be found from an equation." "I mean, maybe God's not meant to be found at all." "Maybe he finds us." "I'm frightened." "Lory was never afraid, even at the end." "Maybe she wasn't afraid because she knew the answer, the same answer you're looking for." "I remember you telling me about her faith in Jesus, that it was so simple." "If you believe, Gene, truly believe that Jesus is the way, the way to find God, to enter heaven," "you won't need to be afraid, either." "Just like Lory." "I can't even remember what her face looks like." "So, Sean tells me you're looking to fly for the airlines." "Yeah, yeah, that's the goal." "I just need my hours." "As far as I can tell, you're the busiest school around." "Tell you what." "Why don't you carve some time out with Sean?" "He'll take you up, give me the low-down." "All goes well, I promise you'll get all the hours you want." " Great." "Thank you." " You're welcome." " Let's get started." " Let me know how it goes." "Hey." "Happy Fourth of July." "Fireworks!" " I wish Gene were here." " Yeah, me, too, honey." " Did you finish?" " Well, we got the files together, but I don't know if he's gonna last long enough to see his theory proven." " What are you gonna do?" " Wish there was something I could do, something that would open up his mind, get him to see things differently." "Wow." "Come on, Doug." "Envision the possibilities." " What do you mean, I can't see him?" " Mr Holloway!" "Call security." "Yes, ma'am." "Mr Holloway, I'm sorry, but we have to comply with the law." " Where is all his research?" " It's all in safe-keeping." " Why are you sedating him?" " It's just something for the pain." "We're trying to make him as comfortable as possible." " Sir, please, come with me." " No, no." "He needs to be awake." " He needs to know!" "He needs to know!" " Get him out." "Just go." "No!" "Hey." "Hey." "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's not okay, Abby." "It's not okay." "He was so close." "Why do you keep beating yourself up?" "I'm no better than she is." "My sister." "That is not true." "Selling the property?" "It's the same thing I would have done." "Doug, you had a choice." "You didn't have to go to him." "You didn't have to share your family, your life." "You made a huge difference for him." "It's not over." "It's not over." "Doug, we've done everything that we can." "Not everything." "Will you help me?" "There's one more thing I want to do for him while there's still time." "I'm looking for some information on Mr Welch, please." "W-E-L-C-H." " Welch." " Hello." "Okay, I'll hold." "Hello?" " Can somebody around here help me?" " Okay." "Okay." "How can I help you?" "Go get your supervisor, bring him here," " and have him explain this to me!" " Calm down." " Hurry up!" "Now!" "Go!" " I'm going, I'm going." "Going!" "Lay off the hormones." " I am so sorry." "I am so sorry." " Oh, my..." " Gene, wake up." "Gene." "Gene, wake up." " Who's there?" "It's Doug." "It's Doug." "Come on, we're gonna get you out of here." "Sorry." "Get you disconnected." "Okay." "Arms." "Arms." "It's like dressing Amanda." "Okay." "Good?" "Right." "Okay." "Right." "Don't forget your shoes." "All right?" "Ready to go?" "Okay." "Okay." "Okay." "All right." "Let's roll." " What a bummer." " But no!" " You're a bunch of perfect idiots!" " Thank you." "Thank you very much." "My lawyer's gonna come down here and eat you alive!" " Where are we going?" " How do you feel about Alaska?" "Alaska." "Top of the world." "Gene, would you like some hot chocolate?" "Here, Lindsay, take this to Grandpa." " Here, Grandpa." " Here you go, sweetheart." "Amanda, it's hot." " I'll just leave this here for you." " Thanks, sweetie." "How you doing, Gene?" "That's your family?" "They're your family, too." "Why are we here?" "Well, I wanted to show you something." "Sort of returning a favour." "Favour?" "You said to me once, "Open your mind." "Envision the possibilities."" " Careful." " And did you?" "Look!" " Doug." " Daddy, look!" "What's that?" "It's the hand of God." "It's beautiful." "Yeah." "It's like the light of heaven, like the glory of Jesus." "It's not something you get from a chalkboard, is it?" "What is it?" "I'm not afraid." "I believe it, Doug." "Jesus is the way." "I'm not afraid any more." "Well, that should be everything." "There's theories here we won't be able to test for quite some time." " Yeah, he figured." " How long was he working on this?" " All my life." " And he never published?" "It was really more of a personal search." "You think he found what he was looking for?" " Sweetheart." " Hey." "Hey." "How'd it go?" "Kind of like giving your baby over to a complete stranger." " You okay?" " Come here, sweetie." "Yeah, I just gotta trust that it's in the right hands." "You know what Gene would say." "Have a little faith." "Okay, girls, let's go!" "If a caterpillar can one day be transformed into a butterfly and live as a higher-dimensional being, maybe so can we."
