Benno Levin
- Eric Packer: Holes are interesting. There are books about holes.
- Benno Levin: There are books about... shit.
- Benno Levin: You try to predict movements by drawing on patterns in nature. Yes, of course, the mathematical properties of tree rings, sunflower seeds, the limbs of galactic spirals. I learned this. I loved the cross harmonies between nature and data. You taught me this. You made this form of analysis horribly and sadistically precise. But you forgot something along the way.
- Eric Packer: What?
- Benno Levin: The importance of the lopsided. The thing that's skewed a little. You were looking for balance - beautiful balance, equals parts, equal sides, I know this. I know you.
- Eric Packer: How old are you? I'm interested.
- Benno Levin: Do you think people like me can't happen?
- Eric Packer: How old?
- Benno Levin: We happen... 41.
- Eric Packer: A prime number.
- Benno Levin: But not an interesting one.
- Eric Packer: Right! Why am I here?
- Benno Levin: You have to tell me. Some kind of unexpected failure. Shocked with self esteem.
