　　him.
　　SEAN
　　Isn’’t that a little dramatic， Gerry？
　　LAMBEAU
　　No， Sean. This boy has that gift. He
　　just hasn’’t got the direction. We can
　　give that to him.
　　
　　A beat.
　　
　　SEAN
　　He married his cousin.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Who？
　　
　　SEAN
　　Einstein. Had two marriages， both
　　train-wrecks. The guy never saw his
　　kids， one of whom， I think， ended up
　　in an asylum--
　　
　　--possible Unabomber addition--
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　You see， Sean？ That’’s exactly not the
　　point. No one remembers that. They--
　　
　　SEAN
　　I do.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Well， you’’re the only one.
　　
　　Beat.
　　
　　LAMBEAU （cont’’d）
　　This boy can make contributions to the
　　world. We can help him do that.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Just……take it easy， Gerry.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Look， I don’’t know what else I can
　　say. I’’m not sitting at home every
　　night， twisting my mustache and hatching
　　a plan to ruin the boy’’s life. But
　　it’’s important to start early. I was
　　doing advanced mathematics at eighteen
　　and it still took me twenty-three years
　　to do something worthy of a Field’’s
　　medal.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Maybe he doesn’’t care about that.
　　
　　A beat.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Sean， this is important. And it’’s
　　above personal rivalry--
　　
　　SEAN
　　Now wait a minute， Gerry--
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　--No， no you hear me out， Sean. This
　　young man is a true prodigy--
　　
　　SEAN
　　--Personal rivalry？ I’’m not getting
　　back at you.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Look， you took one road and I took
　　another. That’’s fine.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Is it Gerry？ ’’Cause I don’’t think
　　it’’s fine with you. Give him time to
　　figure out what he wants.
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　That’’s a wonderful theory， Sean. It
　　worked wonders for you.
　　
　　A beat. Lambeau gets up.
　　
　　LAMBEAU （cont’’d）
　　Sean， I came here today out of courtesy.
　　I wanted to keep you in the loop. As
　　we speak the boy is in a meeting I set
　　up for him over at Tri-tech.
　　
　　CUT TO:
　　
　　INT. TRI-TECH LABORATORIES， OFFICE -- SAME
　　
　　Three well dressed TRI-TECH EXECUTIVES sit around a conference
　　table， which is littered with promotional brochures. The
　　executives exchange a confused look. One of them speaks.
　　
　　EXECUTIVE
　　（tentative）
　　Well， Will， I’’m not exactly sure what
　　you mean， we’’ve already offered you a
　　position……
　　
　　Cut to reveal: Chuckie sitting across from the executives，
　　hair combed down， wearing his Sunday best.
　　
　　CHUCKIE
　　Since this is obviously not my first
　　time in such altercations， let me say
　　this:
　　
　　Chuckie rubs the tips of his fingers together， indicating
　　"cash." The executives are baffled.
