Brian
Stephen, your 'motor-mouth' disease, does it affect, um...
What?
Brian
[Gesturing towards his crotch]
Uh, everything?
What? No. Different system. Automatic.
Brian
Are you serious? Well that's pretty wonderful isn't it? Well it certainly explains a lot about men.
Frank Hawking
I...don't think you realize what lies ahead, Jane. His life is going to be very short. So, be careful. The weight of science is against you, and this will not be a fight, Jane. This is going to be a very heavy defeat. For all of us.
I know what you all think. That...that I don't look like a terribly strong person. But I love him, and he loves me. We're going to fight this illness together. All of us.
Congratulations...my Companion of Honour. Not bad for an old liberal socialist. Don't worry, you can decline the knighthood. Thank you, for today. It was extraordinary. It's all been rather extraordinary though, hasn't it?
Look what we made.
[Jane follows his gaze to where their three children are playing and smiles]
So, I take it you've never been to church?
Once upon a time.
Tempted to convert?
I have a slight problem with the celestial dictatorship premise.
Stephen...
You just missed him. He was here earlier.
Don't do this.
Go.
Croquet. Play a game with me.
Go.
[Jane leans down close to him]
If you don't get up and play a game with me, I won't come back here again. Ever.
... [gets up]
What about you? What are you?...
Cosmologist, I'm a Cosmologist.
What is that?

What do cosmologists worship?
A single unifying equation that explains everything in the universe.
I have asked Elaine to travel with me to America. She will look after me.
...Will she?
Yes.
...You always used to tell me when an invitation came in.
Another award. What can you do?
...
I am sorry. How many years?
They said two. You've had so many... [begins to cry]
I will write a book.
About what?
Time.
Time?
What is the nature of time? Will it ever come to an end? Can we go back in time? Some day these answers may seem as obvious to us as the Earth orbiting the sun, or perhaps as ridiculous as a tower of tortoises. Only time, that's what we say.
We can't afford a live-in nurse.
Frank Hawking
Stephen, you need to find a way for your family's sake. You're world famous.
For black holes. Not for rock concerts.
It is clear that we are just an advanced breed of primates on a minor planet orbiting around a very average star, in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. BUT, ever since the dawn of civilization people have craved for an understanding of the underlying order of the world. There ought to be something very special about the boundary conditions of the universe. And what can be more special than that there is no boundary? And there should be no boundary to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there is life, there is hope.
