UFO (2018)

Ella Purnell: Natalie

Quotes 

• Derek : Hundreds of years go by and people make tiny, little improvements. And then there's an opportunity to take a giant leap forward. Like with relativity, or going to the moon. When it's your finals week, you cut yourself off from everyone. You go to the library, you drink 100 cans of Red Bull. You don't talk to anyone for, like, four days, because you know everything is riding on it. This is my finals week. What are the most important questions in the world? "Is there a God?" "What happens when we die?" And "Are we alone in the universe?" If anyone answered any one of those questions, it would change everything.

  Natalie : We're never as alone as we think we are.

• Derek : [going to a park bench]  Okay, now will you come with me? Please? Over here. Okay, so if this is the distance between the Sun and the Earth, how far do you think the next closest star is? Proxima Centauri?

  Natalie : Twenty feet?

  Derek : [pointing to a highway]  See, 71? About twice as far as that, 4.3 miles. Now, if that's our scale, how big do you think the galaxy is? You'd have to keep walking in that direction until you got right back here; all the way around the world, and then do that three more times. And that's just our galaxy. There are at least 100 billion other galaxies out there.

• Natalie : A lot of the best mathematicians do their best work in their early 20s; Einstein, Ramanujan...

  Professor Hendricks : Riemann, Abel, Galois, I know the list.

  Natalie : You.
