Charlie Eppes : Larry... something went wrong, and I don't know what. And now it's like I can't even think.
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt : Well let me guess. You tried to solve a problem involving human behavior and it blew up in your face.
Charlie Eppes : Yeah, pretty much.
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt : Okay, well, Charles, you are a mathematician. You're always looking for the elegant solution. But human behavior is rarely, if ever, elegant.
[sighs]
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt : The universe if full of these odd bumps and twists. You know, perhaps you need to make your equation less elegant, more complicated, less precise, more descriptive. It's not going to be as pretty, but it might work a little better. And Charlie, when you're working on human problems, there's going to be pain and disappointment. You've gotta ask yourself, is it worth it?
