00:30Can you stand up, please? Can you tell me what 57 multiplied by 135 is?
00:37Okay.
00:387,695. The square root is 87.7. And change.
00:44Now, what does ad nauseum mean?
00:48I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul.
00:52I think your niece may be gifted.
00:54I am good friends with the headmaster of the Oaks Academy for Gifted Education.
00:58No. I promised my sister I'd give Mary a normal life.
01:02I think she's got to be here.
01:03I've sat upon the seven sun.
01:06Who's that lady in front of our door?
01:09That would be your grandmother.
01:12Holy shit.
01:13It's a MacBook, darling.
01:15What are you doing here?
01:16You are denying the girl her potential.
01:18How many seven-year-olds are doing advanced calculus?
01:21You forgot the negative sign on the exponent.
01:23Mary, why didn't you say anything?
01:24Frank says I'm not supposed to correct older people.
01:27Nobody likes a smartass.
01:30We petitioned the court to grant my client full custody of the child.
01:34No! No!
01:35You're going to take that girl.
01:36You're going to loan her out to some think tank where she can talk non-trivial zeros with a bunch of old Russian guys for the rest of her life.
01:42And you'd bury her under a rock.
01:44Evelyn, stop.
01:45I'm raising her how I believe Diane would have wanted.
01:47If anybody takes that baby away, I'll smell that you in your sleep.
01:58My sister wanted Mary to be a kid.
02:01She wanted her to have friends and to be happy.
02:03Tell us, do you have health insurance?
02:05No.
02:05Did you spend the night in jail?
02:07Objection!
02:11What's your greatest fear?
02:12That I'll ruin Mary's life.
02:14Mary!
02:14Mary!
02:15Mary!
02:15Uh-uh!
02:16He's bossy.
02:18I've heard that.
02:21He was a good person.
02:23He wanted me before I was smart.
