　　They kiss， mouths full of burger. It’’s nice. A beat.
　　
　　SKYLAR （cont’’d）
　　That had to be the worst good night
　　kiss……
　　
　　Will laughs.
　　
　　WILL
　　Hey， look lady， I’’m just here for the
　　free food.
　　
　　She smiles.
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　Free？
　　
　　WILL
　　Hey， I spent all my money on those
　　caramels.
　　
　　She laughs.

　　INT. LOCKOBER RESTAURANT -- SAME
　　
　　Lambeau and Sean， having finished their meal. Lambeau has
　　been pitching Sean.
　　
　　SEAN
　　I’’ve been busy， Gerry. I got a full
　　schedule.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　This kid’’s special， Sean. I’’ve never
　　seen anything like him.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Not much free time， Gerry.
　　LAMBEAU
　　Have you ever heard of a man named
　　Ramanujan？
　　
　　Sean nods his head.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Yeah.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　He was alive over a hundred years ago.
　　He was Indian. Dots， not feathers……
　　
　　Sean finishes the joke. Lambeau chuckles.
　　
　　LAMBEAU （cont’’d）
　　So this Ramanujan lived in a tiny hut
　　in India. No formal education， no
　　access to other works. But he came
　　across an old math book and from this
　　basic text he was able to extrapolate
　　theories that had baffled mathematicians
　　for years.
　　
　　SEAN
　　And he mailed it to Hardy--
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　--That’’s right， Sean. He mailed it to
　　a professor at Cambridge who immediately
　　recognized the brilliance in his work
　　and brought Ramanujan to England.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Where he contracted pneumonia and died
　　at a young age--
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　They worked together for the remainder
　　of their lives， producing some of the
　　most exciting math theory ever done.
　　Ramanujan’’s genius was unparalleled，
　　Sean. This boy is like that. But
　　he’’s very defensive and I need someone
　　who can get through to him.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Why me？
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　I need someone with your kind of
　　background.
　　
　　SEAN
　　My kind of background？
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　You’’re from the same neighborhood.
　　South Boston.
　　
　　SEAN
　　He’’s from Southie？ How many people
　　did you try before you came to me？
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　（looks squarely at Sean）
　　Five.
　　
　　Sean gives a slight， knowing smile.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Who？ Barry， Henry， Rick……
　　
　　Lambeau nods.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Not Rick？ You didn’’t send him to Rick？
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Just meet with the boy once a week.
