Rex Allerton:
What do you do?
Jane Dubois:
I am a mathematician.
Rex Allerton:
Teehee, you're what?
Jane Dubois:
I see what you mean. It's improbable, isn't it?
Rex Allerton:
No, I'm sorry. No, I didn't mean to...
Jane Dubois:
No, no. It's quite alright. Hardly anyone believes me at first but when I multiply a few 10 digit numbers and give them the cube root for a few more, they come around.
Rex Allerton:
You do all that?
Jane Dubois:
And more, Smithy, and more.
Rex Allerton:
Look this may be my last night in Tremaggio. Will you have dinner with me?
Jane Dubois:
Of course! I've been sitting in this wet suit waiting for you to speak up. Come around at 8:30. We'll do some compound fractions before dinner.
