    What?

    Sam: Next year I will be reading Frenkel's book on Vertex Algebra. I will be thinking about this film the whole time. Especially chapter 3.

    Alex: The musical choices are confusing. The transitions are too jarring. Why does the formula of love have integrals? Is it because love is integral?

    Stephanie: Disappointing lack of butt. My favorite part of the movie was when it said "its Mathin' time". Oh and she's Japanese btw. This has nothing to do with me being Korean.

    Alessandra: What? Like what? Like what the hell you know? I mean I watched and like what did I just watch.

    Ezz: Made me proud to be a mathematical physicist. Thanks Ed.
