"What about the george michael-lovin'," "Talkin'- to-god weirdo part?" "I was thinking of telling her tonight in fact" "You know,eli,i'm not sure that's such a good idea." "I'm not ashamed of it anymore,nate." "I want to start our relationship without any secrets." "So you're telling me that i you're like..." "Spider-man?" "Um,except i don't catch super villains." "I win trials." "Because the visions tell you what cases to take." "See?" "You get it already." "I mean,some people-- you have to explain that a couple of times." "But some people,think it's a gift." "Jewelry is a gift." "You just told me you work for god." "I shouldn't have told you." "I thought that you would think it was weird in a cool way, but," "Horrified i wasn't prepared for." "I'm not horrified.i'm just a little..." "Overwhelmed.it's...a lot." "What are the chances that you forget all about this" "Without getting hit over the head with something heavy?" "Dude,what did i tell you about the barging?" "Sorry." "You with a patient?" "Sadly,no." "Good,'cause this is an emergency." "Just wading through my ever-enlarging stack of bills." "I told ashley about my visions,and she call me "special."" "That's not a good sign." "You can't just drop a bomb like that." "Well,why did you set me up with somebody" "Who wouldn't be open to knowing the whole truth about me?" "because no one sane would be open to that after four dates,eli." " grace was." " she doesn't count." "She was a female you." "I set you up with ashley because she's the opposite of you." "The opposite of me?" "Yes." "Fun." "Let me clarify." "What i'm after here is some advice on" "How to make ashley not think of me as a complete nut job." "Then go back in time and don't tell her." "And while you're back there," "Tell me not to go into the smoothie business." "Waste of money,that was." "You're cra*** and more unhelpful than usual." "Things really that bad with the practice?" "They're not good." "Meanwhile,dr." "Lee has got a line around the block." "Well,maybe dr." "Lee gives better dating advice than you do." "Or because dr." "Lee actually charges the crackpots who come in looking for it." "Ellen knows how vulnerable my dad is right now." "He's under so much stress." "It's-- it's one thing that she filed for divorce." "It's another thing that sheid it to him now." "What do you think?" "This makes me look fat,right?" "No,i think it's the pregnancy that does that." "But the pregnancy also makes you..." "Glow." "I look like a boat." "A beautiful pregnant boat." "So what do you think i should do?" "Uh,about the dress?" " About ellen." " Oh." "I don't know." "Couple times i met her, she seemed pleasant enough," "And i always thought you two had a great relationship." "We had fine relationship." "We've been perfectly friendly and civil for 20 years," "But it's not like she ever replaced my mother." "Oh,you mean the woman who abandoned you when you were 14." "Shut up." "I look like a fire hydrant." "A beautiful, pregnant fire hydrant." "All i'm saying is you've known this woman for 20 years." "If she's being so unreasonable, don't drag it out in court." "Don't humiliate her or your dad." "Just go talk to her,you know?" "Work something out." "You know, i hate it when you're right." "That's why i rarely am." "After a tip from one of her co-workers, we went to the defennt's home" "Specifically,the trailer park where she lives." "We had a search warrant properly issued under the p.a.t.r.i.o.t. act." "And what, if anything,did your search uncover?" "A lead-lined shed." "Inside we found hundreds of smoke alarms and glow-in-the-dark clocks," "All of which had been stripped of their nuclear materials." "And in your expert opinion," "Why would someone isole nuclear material like that?" "The only purpose would be for the construction of a radiological dispersal device" "Colloquially known as a dirty bomb." "Usually a dirty bomb combis radioactive material" "With conventional explosive devices." " When you searched my client's shed,did you find any such devices?" " No." "Did you find any plans or diagrams" "Or journal entries which included schematics for building such a bomb?" "No." "But you did find her notebk." "We find a spiral notepad" "With crude mathematical formulas and diagrams." "Sounds threatening." "Our experts are still going over the notations." "So it's possible genny was working on something else," "Something beneficial to the world," "Like experiments on nuclear energy?" "She is a 22-year-old college dropout" "Who is a cashier at workbench." "Einstein developed his theory of relativity while working as a patent clerk." "Einstein didn't expose his neighbors," "Nor certainly himself," "To significant physical harm" "By having unlicensed, illegal nuclear materials in his backyard." "I know exactly stick those nuclear materials." "Yeah,i don't think that'll help your case." "As it is,the jury sees you as the female ted kaczynski." "Kaczynski?" "That guy was a hack." "Have you ever seen his work?" "Shoddy." "Genny, the problem here is,unless you take the stand," "The jury is not gonna think of you as anything other than a cckpot." "I don't care what people think." "Well,you should,'cause these 12 people can put you in prison." "And i think you do care what people think." "Otherwise you wouldn't be so scared." "But you don't have to be." "Look," "You have a brilliant mind," "A once-in-a-generation mind." "You just have to let people see it." "I'm not wearing a dress." "Isn't it against the law or something for you" "To talk to me without attorney being here?" "We have a previous relationship." "We're friends,ellen." "It's a little late to play that card,don't you think?" "Actually, with so much tension lately," "I- i can't think of a better time." "You're starting to show." "You look beautiful." "Thank you." "I always envied pregnant women." "Never was one myself,obviously." "Your father didn't want any more children." "And now it's just me." "And i know that must be hard for you." "But,ellen,he can't afford what you want him to pay." "There are tons of things i'm sure your father could part with" "The picasso, the tiffany lamps." "He's by no means broke." "He's starting a new company." "His assets are limited." "I'm sorry,taylor,but i won't fall for that." "I can show you the books." "I will not let him do the same thing to me he did to your mother." "What are you talking about?" "When-- when jordan left susan for me," "He-- he hid his assets in offshore accounts." "And then he hired the best divorce attorney his hidden money could buy" "And had your mother declared incompetent to parent" "Based on financial instability,so he got full custody." "I don't believe you." "I wouldn't expect you to," "But that's how jordan was in those days." "He prote he loved at any cost." "My mother left us" "Because she didn't want the burden of raising a daughter" "When she was starting her new life." "Only after your father destroyed her old one." "You keep dropping by like this, people are gonna start to think" "You're coming back to work here." "So,um,you know,things won't always be this awkward between us,right?" "Because before everything else, we were friends-- good friends." "I'm so glad to hear you say that." "Let's be friends again." "So,friend," "I hear you're dating ashley cardiff." "What?" "Is it on tmz or something?" "She's a client of mine.small world." "Yeah,it is." "I think she's..." "Fantastic...and cool,fun." "I mean,obviously,it was a little weird at first" "I don't think you have to worry i'm not sure we're dating anymore." "You're not?" "I,um,i told her about my visions." "Why did you do that?" "Uh,i'm an idiot" "If it's any consolation,it's probably for the best." "What do you mean?" "I just-- i happen to know that ashley is not looking for anything serious," "And,well, you're a serious person with serious responsibilities." "It's-- it could be a bad combo." "You dn't say anything to her about me,did you?" "I just-- i told her you were special." "That's code for weirdo." "No wonder e acted strangely when i told her about my visions." "You had her primed to think that i'm crazy town." "Well,why did you tell her about your visions in the first place?" " you've had three dates!" " four." "Oh,right,i forgot-- third date,sex," "Fourth date,tell her you're a prophet." "You're not exactly facing this objectively." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Well,you're obviously a little jealous." "All i did was protect you." "All i ever do is protect you!" "But you know what,eli?" "I take it back.i don't think you're special." "I think you're an ass." "Genny,could you tell us what you use this notebook for?" "Jotting down thoughts i have" "Math stuff,physics formulas, the occasional song lyric." "I took this notebook to professor blanchard," "Head of the physics department at staord." "I didn't say you could do that." "But then, what's mine is yours." "He was very impressed." "Objection-- hearsay." "I have a supporting affidavit, your honor," "Mr. Pelfrey wants to cross dr." "Blanchard,he can." "Overruled." "Dr. Blanchard said that some of the formulas in this book" "Used some of the most advanced mathematics" "And innovative reasoning he's ever seen." "He also said that there wa no discussion of anything remotely weaponlike." "Well,duh.i wasn't building anything weapons of mass destructionish." "Then what were you using the nuclear materials for?" "It's complicated." "Dumb it down for me as much as you can." "Well,i was riffing on the idea of creating a controlled alpha multiplication device" "Combing the design elements of a radioisotope thermo electric generator" "And a nuclear pulse propulsion technology to creat a- a low-energy nuclear reaction." "I haven't quite figured it out yet." "Thank you." "Do you see any, practical purpose for this kind of technology in the future?" "If i get it right, it could be useful in getting some traction on cold fusion." "Cold fusion." "Reading from dr." "Blanchard's affidavit," ""genny's may be the most significant contribution "" "toward a carbon-free energy economy" "Since we first split the atom."" "That's nice." "But the point is, not a bomb." "Not a bomb." "Thank you." "Think of prophet as a shmancy title like-- like duke or viscount." "Interesting perspective." "What is a viscount anyway?" "I don't know." "Half a count?" "I mean,most of the time i'm just completely normal." "Let me prove it to you." "Come to dinner tonight at my brother's." "I don't-- i don't know." "I- i'm supposed to go to ts benefit." "Please come." "I mean,you'll love nate," "And his fiancee beth-- she's the best." "The three of you can make fun of me all night." "I guess i could just send a check." "Great." " I'll see you later." " Bye." "Yes." "You ready?" "Keith,i've got mojo, and it's rising." "I'm gonna kick some serious ass." "I can feel it." "Okay, you're frightening me now." "Genny,do you have friends or family you discuss your experiments with?" "It's not any of their business." "Outside of your experiments, do you have any hobbies?" "Do you go see movies?" "So basically,you're a genius recluse who hates the establishment." "Objection-- relevance." "I see what you're trying to paint me as.i'm not a unabomber." " Sustained." " You know,i'm curious." "There are other places you could have done your experiments,safer places." "You could have applied for a job with the government,energy company." "I'm sure they'd all be interested in your work." "They'd be interested in squashing my invention" "To make sure that the world remained dependent on oil forever." "My father worked for the auto industry his entire life." "In 1979, he digned an engine that could get 59 miles to the gallon." "Want to know why you never read about it in "the new york times"?" "Government and big oil killed it,and it killed him." "So you can call me a terrorist." "You can call me any other names you can think of." "But it all boils down to this" "You've arrested me because i refuse to play by a system that squashes innovation," "Civil liberties and science." "I want a conference with counsel." "Your honor, i'm not done with my cross-examination" "Now." "Clear the courtroom, please." "All rise." "This is what i know-- this girl wasn't building a weapon of any kind of destruction." "Thank you,judge." "But she was also in possession of some very nuclear materials," "No matter how legally obtained." "Which is why i'll drop the w.m.d. charges if he pleads to the max on the possession." "That's 25 years." "She's a kid, a brilliant sentist." "Yes,whose brilliance might just blow up the neighborhood." "She's admitted to possessing the materials," "So the only plea you've got left is jury nullification." "Which i won't permit in my courtroom." "And that presents us both with a dilemma,mr." "Stone." "I don't want to be the judge that puts the next einstein in prison." "You've got an einstein who very clearly broke the law." "She won't agree to serve any jail time,your honor," "And i could not in good conscience convince her to." "Well,you're also very smart, mr." "Stone" "Figure something out." "I'm sure there's an explanation." "Um,must be traffic." "Maybe she's stuck in an elevator with no cell service." "Oh,come on." "Beth hasn't been on time a day in her life." "What?" "And now i'm gonna go check on the lasagna, uh,before it burns." "I'm just so sorry she missed ben." "Oh,don't worry.He got to stay up an hour past his bedtime." "As far as he's concerned, the night's a success." "Ashley's a very lucky woman, eli." "You're a catch." "Oh,yeah?" "How come you never returned my call after our night at college?" "It was your first time.our "night" was a little more like 30 seconds." "Oh,yeah." "Is that her?" "When do we eat?" "She's not coming." "I'm sorry." "I'm just gonna get something with a little more kick than wine." "Ah,wait,wait,wait." "I'll get it for you." "What is this?" "Nothing." "Those are nothing." "Don't look at 'em, 'cause they're not even there." "Oh,i'm having a vision,then," "Of plane tickets to vegas--one with my name on it." "Why am i going to vegas next weekend?" "Because we're eloping." "Eloping loping?" "Yeah,look,i didn't want you to find out this way,but" "Well,there's no bad way to find that out!" "Oh,my god!" "That is amazing." "This is inedible." "You avoiding me?" "You canceled our lunch." "I haven't seen you all day" "A difficult feat in our half-empty firm." "Is something the matter?" "I just got off the phone with your former divorcattorney." "Those conversations never put a smile on my face,either." "He confirmed what ellen told me about what you did to my mother." "Taylor,whatever you're thinking..." "It's more complicated." "All these years,you let me think the worst of her" "That she was a mother who would run out on her child!" "She did run out." "After you forced her out with your lies and manipulation." "Taylor" "I virtually had no relationship with my own mother." "That's affected every single aspect of my life." "I admit i wasn't..." "A great person back then." "that's why i'm wor so hard to change now." "Thanks for admitting it." "But i begged her to stay and maintain a relationship th you." "Please,just go,dad." "Just go." "This is unexpected." "Are you real?" "I'm prone to hallucinating." "I wanted to apologize in person." "Standing you up was rude and mean." "It's not who i am." "I was going to come." "I had my coat on and everything." "But then i just started to think about what it means to date someone with..." "With,so much baggage" "Well,i'm just not a-- baggage handler." "It might sound shallow, but i'- i'm not a serious person." "Things are not serious with me all the time." "You have a life-threatening condition that causes you to see things." "That's..." "Serious." "You're a great guy..." "And we had a lot of fun," "But i can't pretend that this is normal." "I'm sorry." "You actually made an appointment." "Must be serious." "Oh,boy." "She dropped you like a bad habit, didn't she?" "Like baggage,actually." "Turns out ashley's more the carry-on luggage type." "Okay." "Eh,good riddance then." "This isn't exactly the warm shoulder to cry on i was hoping for." "Look,i know you're hurting," "And it sucks," "But the fact is, if ashley can't handle who you are," "You're better off without her." "I don't exactly connect with a different woman every week,frank." "I just-- i want to,um..." "Connect?" "I want to not be alone." "Last week you said you weren't." "Well,the truth is, i'm lonely." "And i just-- i don't think it's fair that i get to see other people's futures,you know?" "Like knowing that my client is going to overcome a lifetime" "Of rejection and loneliness and win the nobel prize." "I want someone to tell me that my life is gonna change,too." "It wasn't in your dad's journal,eli." "You've been able to show me the future before..." "A possible future." "With that dark arts thing" "Look, eli,i told you i wouldn't use the nurhachi technique on you again." "It's dangerous, mentally and physically," "Particularly to someone with your condition" "Everybody else doesn't know their destiny,eli." "Everybody else doesn't have the responsibilities i do," "And they're not alone because of that." "You're not alone because of your calling,eli."
