　　TIMMY
　　What’’s the jackpot？
　　
　　SEAN
　　Twelve million.
　　
　　TIMMY
　　I don’’t think that’’ll cover it.
　　
　　Lambeau follows [Sean]. They sit.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　You’’re here quite a bit， then.
　　
　　SEAN
　　I live right around the corner.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　You moved？
　　
　　SEAN
　　I been here a couple years.
　　
　　There is an awkward moment.
　　
　　SEAN （cont’’d）
　　You wanted to talk about Will？
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Seems like it’’s going well.
　　
　　SEAN
　　I think so.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Well， have you talked to him at all
　　about his future？
　　
　　SEAN
　　We haven’’t really gotten into it.
　　LAMBEAU
　　Maybe you should. My phone’’s been
　　ringing off the hook with job offers.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Jobs doing what？
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Cutting edge mathematics.
　　Think tanks. The kind of place where
　　a mind like Will’’s is given free reign.
　　
　　SEAN
　　That’’s great， Gerry， that there’’s
　　interest-- But I’’m not sure he’’s ready
　　for that.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Sean， I really don’’t think you
　　understand--
　　
　　SEAN
　　What don’’t I understand？
　　
　　Timmy comes over with the sandwhiches.
　　
　　SEAN （cont’’d）
　　Thanks， Timmy.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Excuse me， Timmy. Could you help us？
　　We’’re trying to settle a bet.
　　
　　TIMMY
　　Uh-oh.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Have you heard of Jonas Salk？
　　
　　TIMMY
　　Yeah， cured polio.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　You’’ve heard of Albert Einstein？
　　
　　Timmy smiles. Gives him a look.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　How about Gerald Lambeau？ Ever heard
　　of him？
　　
　　TIMMY
　　No.
　　LAMBEAU
　　Okay thank you， Timmy.
　　
　　TIMMY
　　So who won the bet？
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　I did.
　　
　　A beat. Timmy leaves.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　This isn’’t about me. I’’m nothing
　　compared to this young man.

　　Sean， in 1905 there were hundreds of
　　Professors who were renowned for their
　　study of the universe. But it was a
　　26-year-old Swiss Patent clerk，
　　doing physics in his spare time， who
　　changed the world， Sean. Can you
　　imagine if Einstein had given that up？
　　Or gotten drunk with his buddies in
　　Vienna every night？ All of us would
　　have lost something. And I’’m quite
　　sure Timmy never would have heard of
