He Bounces Back

 And Joker walks away-- heads for the sliding glass doors. Only the motion detector doesn't engage--

 AND HE SLAMS RIGHT INTO THE GLASS DOOR.

 HARD.

 He bounces back.

61 EXT. CITY HOSPITAL, ER - NIGHT 61

 Joker sits on a bench outside the bustling emergency room. He's getting some fresh air, but he picked a weird spot to do it.

 He watches the sick and dying being rushed through the glass doors. Opening and closing. This happens in the background throughout the scene. 62. 

The two detectives walk up to Joker, interrupting him watching the doors. Gotham police detectives, GARRITY (50's), grey hair, and BURKE (30's), his partner.

 DET. GARRITY

Mr. Fleck, sorry to bother you, I'm Detective Garrity, this is my partner Detective Burke.

Joker looks up at them. Doesn't say anything.

DET. GARRITY

We had a few questions for you, but you weren't home. 

So we spoke to your mother.

JOKER

You did this to her?

DET. GARRITY

What? No. 

We just asked her some questions and she started getting hysterical-- 

hyperventilating, trouble speaking-- then she collapsed. 

Hit her head pretty hard.

 JOKER 

They told me she had a stroke.

Beat.

 DET. GARRITY 

Sorry to hear that.

AND JOKER BURSTS OUT LAUGHING, he can't stop it.

The detectives are taken aback. 

They don't know what to make of him laughing.

They share a look.

 DET. BURKE 

(confused) 

I'm lost. Is something funny?

JOKER 

(laughter choking up in his throat) 

No I,-- I have a, a--

Tears rolling down his face, he takes out one of his cards and hands it to Det. Burke. Burke glances over the card, a skeptical look on his face. 

 DET. BURKE 

Okay. But we have some questions for you.

 DET. GARRITY 

About those subway killings from a few weeks ago.

Joker pauses for a moment, his laughter subsiding. He holds his breath.

 JOKER 

I don't know anything about that.

 DET. GARRITY 

We have an eyewitness who described a white male, about 6 feet tall, in clown make up. Or a clown mask. 

Spoke to your boss at Ha-Ha's, Mr. Vaughn, and he said you were on a job the day of the shooting.

Joker's still holding his breath, he nods yes.

 DET. GARRITY (just continues) 

He also said you got fired that day,-- 

For bringing a gun into the children's hospital.

And Joker cracks up again, his laughter coming back harder-- He covers his mouth with his hand, shaking his head no, his face now turning red.

 DET. GARRITY 

You weren't fired?

Joker catches his breath as the intensity of his laughter starts to wane, petering out.

JOKER 

Not for having a gun. That was prop gun. Part of my act.

Joker's laughter finally stops for good.

 DET. BURKE 

So why were you fired?

 JOKER 

They said I wasn't funny.

The detectives share another look.

 Joker stands up.

 JOKER 

Now, if you don't mind, I have to go back and look after my mother.

 Detective Burke steps close to him, holds up the card that Joker handed him--

DET. BURKE

Hey lemme ask you a question? This condition of yours,-- 

Is This Real or is this like some sorta Clown Thing?

 JOKER 

"Clown thing?"

DET. BURKE 

I mean, is it part of your act?

JOKER 

What do you think?

 And Joker walks away-- heads for the sliding glass doors. Only the motion detector doesn't engage--

 AND HE SLAMS RIGHT INTO THE GLASS DOOR.

 HARD.

 He bounces back.

B.B.

BB-8

BB 18

B.B. = "Big Brother" 

8 is RUPTURE

It's "Big Brother" and not "Father" because Fathers naturally invite Rebellion, and Brothers imply Protection, Egalitarianism and Fraternity.

BB-8 = Rupture/Break-Away from Big Brother

Gematria /ɡəˈmeɪtriə/ (Hebrew: גמטריא‬ or גימטריה‬, 

plural גמטראות‬ or גמטריאות‬, gematriot) is one 

 of several methods of assigning a numerical value 

to a Hebrew name, word or phrase 

based on its letters. 

People who practice gematria believe that 

words with identical numerical values bear some relation to each other or to The Number itself. 

The Number may apply to nature, 

a person's age, the calendar year, 

or the like. 

A single word can yield multiple values 

depending on the method used.

Gematria originated as an 

Assyro-Babylonian-Greek System 

of alphanumeric code or cipher that was 

later adopted into Jewish culture. 

Similar systems have been used 

in other languages and cultures : 

earlier, The Greek isopsephy, and later, 

derived from or inspired by Hebrew gematria, 

 Arabic abjad numerals, and English gematria.

A WELL-KNOWN EXAMPLE OF HEBREW GEMATRIA 

IS THE WORD CHAI ("ALIVE"), 

WHICH IS COMPOSED OF TWO LETTERS 

THAT (USING THE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE MISPAR

 GADOL TABLE SHOWN BELOW) ADD UP TO 18. 

THIS HAS MADE 18 A "LUCKY NUMBER" 

 AMONG THE JEWISH PEOPLE. 

GIFTS OF MONEY IN MULTIPLES OF 18 

ARE VERY POPULAR.

Lenny Meyer :
Am I bothering you?
I'm sorry, I'll put it out.

You Damn Fool - The Pressence of God 

is in The Smoke
 

Name's Lenny Meyer.
And you are?


SuperMax :
Max.

Lenny Meyer :
Is that Max? Max...?

SuperMax :
Max Cohen.

So, Max does not know it, but he is a High Priest

Probably worth a Google.

 
Lenny Meyer :
Cohen! Jewish.
It's OK. I'm a Jew too.
Do you practise?


SuperMax :
No. I'm not interested in religion.


Lenny Meyer :
Did you ever hear of Kabbalah?

SuperMax :
No.


Lenny Meyer :
Jewish mysticism.

SuperMax :
Look, I'm busy right here.

Lenny Meyer :
I understand.
But right now is a very exciting 

moment in Our History.

Right now is a critical 

moment in Time.

SuperMax :
Really?

Lenny Meyer :
Yeah. It's very exciting.
Have you ever put on Tefillin?
You know Tefillin?

Yeah, I know, it looks strange.
It's an amazing Tradition.

It has a tremendous Power. 

It's a mitzvah Jewish men should do.
Mitzvahs, good deeds.
They purify us.
Bring us closer to God.
Wanna try it?

SuperMax :
Shit.

Lenny Meyer :
You all right, Max?

Sol 

(which mean 'Sun' and 

is short for 'Solomon') :

It's been a month. 

You haven't taken a single break.

SuperMax :

I'm so close.

Sol 

(which mean 'Sun' and 

is short for 'Solomon') :

Have you met the new fish 

my niece bought me?

Fish = Jesus  

'Christ is a Meta-Fish' - Jordan Peterson

I named her Icarus after you,  

my renegade pupil.

You fly too high, you'll get burnt.

I look at you, I see myself, 

30 years ago :

My Greatest pupil.

Published at 16, PhD at 20.

But Life isn't just mathematics, Max.

I spent 40 years searching 

for patterns in Pi.

I found nothing.

 SuperMax :

You found things.

Sol 

(which mean 'Sun' and 

is short for 'Solomon') :

I found things... 

but not a pattern.

Not a pattern.

SuperMax :

11:22 Personal Note :

Sol died a little when he stopped 

research on Pi.

It wasn't just the stroke 

He stopped caring.

How could he stop, 

when he was so close to seeing Pi 

for what it really is?

How could you stop believing 

that there is a pattern, an ordered shape behind those numbers, when you were so close?

We see The Simplicity of The Circle, 

we see the maddening complexity 

of the endless numbers -

3.14 off into infinity.

Are the stars out tonight?

I don't mind

if they're cloudy or bright

For I only have eyes

For you, dear

I don't mind

if we're in a...

Lenny Meyer :

Hey, Max. Lenny Meyer.

I'll put it out.

So... What do you do?

SuperMax :

I work with computers. Math.

Lenny Meyer :

Math? What kind of math?

SuperMax :

Number Theory. 

Research mostly.

Lenny Meyer :

No way. I work with numbers myself.

I mean, not traditional.

I work with The Torah. Amazing!

Hebrew is all math.

It's all numbers.

You know that? Look. 

Ancient Jews used Hebrew 

as their numerical system.

Each letter is a number.

The Hebrew A, Aleph, is 1 .

B, Bet, is 2.

Understand? 

But look - The Numbers 

are interrelated.

Take the Hebrew for Father, ab.

Aleph, Bet.

The word for Mother, haim.

Aleph, Mem.

The sum of 3 and 41, 44.

Right? 

Now, the Hebrew word for Child - 

Mother, Father, Child.

Yelev.

That's 10, 30 and 4.

Torah is just a long string of numbers.

Some say that it's A Code, 

sent to us from God.

SuperMax :

That's kind of interesting.

Lenny Meyer :

That's kid's stuff, check this out.

The Garden of Eden, Kadem.

Numerical translation, 144.

The value of Tree of Knowledge, 

in The Garden. Right?

Aat ha haim. 

2, 33. 144,  233.

You can take those numbers...

 SuperMax :

Those are Fibonacci numbers.

Lenny Meyer :

They're...?

SuperMax :

You know, like The Fibonacci sequence?

 Lenny Meyer :

Fibonacci?

 SuperMax :

[ Leonardo ] Fibonacci is an ltalian 

mathematician in the 13th. Century

If you divide 144 into 233, 

the result approaches Theta.

Lenny Meyer :

Theta?

SuperMax :

Theta -- The Greek symbol for 

The Golden Ratio, The Golden Spiral.

Lenny Meyer :

Wow. I never saw that before.

That's like that series you find in nature?

Like The Face of a Sunflower?

SuperMax :

Wherever there are spirals.

 Lenny Meyer :

See, there's Math everywhere.

Hey, I... Max?

13:26. 

Restate My Assumptions.

One : 
Mathematics is 

The Language of Nature.

Two : 
Everything around us can be 

represented and understood 

through numbers.

Three : 
If you graph The Numbers 

of any System,
patterns emerge.
 
Therefore, there are patterns 

everywhere in Nature.

So what about the stock market?

A universe of numbers that
represents the global economy.

Millions of human hands at Work, 
billions of minds.

A vast network 

screaming with Life. 
An Organism.
A natural Organism.

My Hypothesis : 
Within the stock market, 

there is a pattern,
right in front of me, 

playing with The Numbers.

Always has been.

10:18, press 'return'.

Involvement

 

"...that idea of The Far-Off Man, way, way out there, but 

What does The Hermit tell us...?

Romana has broken The Cardinal Rule of Gallifrey. 

She has become involved, 
and in a pretty permanent sort of way. 


The lonelier you are, the more you're joined together with everything else. "

(They sit on a small stone bench.)
DOCTOR: 

Have you seen the state of the time column recently? 

Wheezing like a grampus.

ADRIC: 

But it will get us to Gallifrey, won't it? 

DOCTOR: 
Gallifrey? Oh yes, yes. 

Are you really set on going to Gallifrey? 

ADRIC: 

Yes. 

DOCTOR: 
Oh. 

ADRIC: 
That is where we're going, isn't it? 

DOCTOR: 

That's one of the questions I was just pondering. 

There's bound to be an awful lot of fuss about Romana. 

Why she stayed in E-space, official investigations, that sort of thing. 

ADRIC: 

The Time Lords won't approve? 

DOCTOR:

What? She has broken The Cardinal Rule of Gallifrey. 

She has become involved, 
and in a pretty permanent sort of way. 

I think that you and I should let a few oceans flow under a few bridges before we head back home.

 
"...that idea of The Far-Off Man, way, way out there,  but 

What does The Hermit tell us...?
 
If you try this get as lonely as you can get, 
you become visibly aware which you can't get away from it, 
because when you get very lonely very fast you become extremely thin 
and 
everything that goes on is or now ordinarily unnoticed cum spiritum 
 

First of all, you will find that there is a  Community of Insects.
And they are tremendously interested in You, and not necessarily hostile, in maybe some cases they are so.

But alone in The Forest, when you get really quiet, you'll notice little creatures will come and inspect you look you all over an
they'll go away and tell their friends and they'll come and look to see what it is and you become aware of every single sound and you realize that alone you're in the midst of a vast burning crowd 

- it may not be human but it's everything else - 

so that the the point of being, The Discipline leads you to understand that   

You can't Resign

The lonelier you are, the more you're joined together with everything else. "

" Look at it - from another point of view, supposing I say everybody's playing the game Me First  - now, I'm going to play the game You First, to use the phrase of Bonhoeffer who called Jesus The Man for Others - now, let's see if we could play that game instead of 

Me First, 

You First 

Or,

"I'm the one see who's so generous I'm the one who's so loving so self-effacing and all you insolent brats ...."  

- Alan Watts
