Alan Turing Tells a Joke


DENNISTON
There is a spy in Bletchley Park.
The Navy thinks that One of Us 
is a Soviet double-agent, Alan.

Alan Turing :
Uh... why?

DENNISTON:
Our boys intercepted this 
on its way to Moscow.
Look familiar? It's a Beale cipher.
Encrypted with a phrase 
from a book or a poem or...

Alan Turing :
You don't seriously think 
I did this, do you?

DENNISTON:
Double agents are such bastards.
Isolated loners. No attachments 
to friends or familyArrogant.
Know anybody like that?

Alan Turing :
I... Hm, I know you don't like me,
but that does not make me a Soviet spy.

POLICEMAN: 
Nothing out of the ordinary, sir.

DENNISTON:
Really. Mm, all right.
The Home Office may be protecting you now,
but sooner or later you will make a mistake.
And I needn't bothefiring you.
They will hang you for Treason.

After Alan has been accused 
of being a Soviet spy
Joan attempts to cheer him up 
with a drink and a chat.

Joan :
Hello. I heard about What Happened.
It's all the girls in Hut-3 can talk about.
...I have an idea of what might cheer you up.


-♪ ♪ -(indistinct chatter)

Joan :
So because no letter can be encoded as itself, 
there's already a handful of settings 
that can be rejected at the outset.
( she glances behind her across a. newly arrived trio getting themselves seated at a table over on the far side of the public bar of the Bletchley Park local.
….is that Your Team?

Alan Turing :
Y-Yes. 

Joan :
Shall we say ‘Hello’?

Alan Turing :
No. 

Joan :
Hello.

Alan Turing :
I-I told you not t-to do that.


Alan. 

Alan Turing :
Uh, Hugh, h-hello.


Didn't know you drank. 

Joan :
He doesn't, really.
He just sort of sips at the foam.


Well, I'll let you into a little secret, Miss...?

Joan :
Clarke.


Miss Clarke. 

Joan :
Please.


Foam's my favorite part, too.

Joan :
Is it really?
Come and join us for a drink?

Joan :
We'll be there in a moment.



Miss Clarke.
♪ ♪

Alan Turing :
Well, he likes you.

Joan :
Yes

Alan Turing :
You...g-got him to like you.

Joan :
Yes.

Alan Turing :
Why?

Joan :
Because I'm a woman in a man's job,
and I don't have the luxury of being an arse.

Alan... it doesn't matter how smart you are,
Enigma is always smarter.
If you really want to solve Your Puzzle,
then you're going to need all the help you can get;
and They are not going to help you, 
if They do not like you.



What are those? 

Alan Turing :
Apples.


No. 

Alan Turing :
Oh, they really are.
Um, I... well, Miss Clarke, 
Joan actually, um...
said that it would be... 
(clears throatnice 
if I was to, uh, bring 
you all something.
So here we are. I...

The Soviet Spy :
Thank You.
I Like Apples!


My best to Miss Clarke.


Alan Turing :
Uh, There are Two People in A Wood,
and, um, they run into A Bear.
The first person gets down on his knees to pray.
The Second person 
starts lacing up his boots.
The First Person asks The Second Person,
"My dear friend, what are you doing?
You-you-you can't outrun a bear."
Uh, to which The Second Person responds,
"I don't have to --
I only have to outrun you."

.....I'll be w-with Christopher, 
if anyone needs me.
