Anyhow, let's meet at 9:00, righto?
That's fine for me.
Good night.
Just a so-so night, I'd say.
It could have been a great night.
You are bad.
That is just the kind of comment
I fear you will drop on Stefi.
She would not be amused.
But the point is, you were amused.
And I am smart enough to control
what I say around people.
Most of the time.
You are dangerous.
You do not really care what
other people think about you.
That's almost true.
I don't care what most people
think because they do not matter.
I care what you think.
I've already told you that I'll respect
your wishes for protecting tass.
What is tass?
T. A. S. The Amazing Stefi.
God, you are the one who is amazing.
You say you care about my feelings,
but then you persist in taunting me.
There is no point in you constructing
some trivializing pet name for Stefi.
Well, I know it makes you uneasy,
but that does not mean that
there is no point in my doing it.
I think you will admit that it is when
you feel uneasy and disoriented that
you are in a position to learn
something about the world.
Is that your job, to teach me something?
Yes, if we are going to have
any kind of future together.
You and I come from two different cultures.
I think you already know that it is not
possible for me to conform
to the rules of your world.
If you want to be in my world,
you are going to have to learn
new ways of being and seeing.
Wow. You create such drama for yourself.
I thought we were just going to talk
about physics and other nerdy things.
Well, Charlie, I thought you were
the kind of person who wants to
do more than just talk.
Personally, I'm changing the world.
I'm building a better world.
Don't you want to be part of that?
