Marcus [Speaking about Alex]:You didn't know, did you? How smart he was?
I knew.
But not really.
Not in the way you did, no.
His partner... without any appreciation of his intellect. Beyond some generalised idea that he was good with numbers. Love without knowledge. Popular culture might depict that as a romantic notion, I suppose.
He never spoke about his work.
What did you talk about?
Everything else.
I see. No, I don't. I don't see at all.
Well, what did you two talk about? Outside of work?
We didn't. Look, try to understand, I was sure, absolutely certain that he was going to change the world in some way. Not my world. The world. Can you imagine the enormity of that feeling? Being in the company of someone like that?
