Marguerite is a 83 00:04:15,893 --> 00:04:19,213 Speaker 4: brilliant young mathematician. She has been her whole life sort 84 00:04:19,253 --> 00:04:22,933 Speaker 4: of studying for her thesis, and her world crumbles when 85 00:04:23,053 --> 00:04:25,573 Speaker 4: a new student arrives at her university and finds a 86 00:04:25,613 --> 00:04:28,693 Speaker 4: flaw in the thesis, and her whole world falls apart 87 00:04:28,733 --> 00:04:31,453 Speaker 4: because it has her whole entire world has been built 88 00:04:31,453 --> 00:04:35,533 Speaker 4: around mathematics. She's deemed overly emotional by her professor, so 89 00:04:35,573 --> 00:04:38,533 Speaker 4: she abruptly quits university and then finds herself in the 90 00:04:38,573 --> 00:04:41,413 Speaker 4: real world, which she is not really equipped to deal with. 91 00:04:42,653 --> 00:04:44,333 Speaker 4: So she, you know, for the first time in her life, 92 00:04:44,333 --> 00:04:45,293 Speaker 4: she finds herself sort of. 93 00:04:45,253 --> 00:04:45,653 Speaker 3: In a job. 94 00:04:45,693 --> 00:04:47,053 Speaker 4: She gets a job in a shoe shop, and she 95 00:04:47,093 --> 00:04:49,933 Speaker 4: has no idea how to interact with humans, let alone 96 00:04:49,973 --> 00:04:52,573 Speaker 4: communicate with them. So it's very fun watching her kind 97 00:04:52,613 --> 00:04:54,133 Speaker 4: of just find her way. 98 00:04:54,013 --> 00:04:54,413 Speaker 3: In the world. 99 00:04:54,413 --> 00:04:59,293 Speaker 4: She's just got this really adorable naivety, and her addiction 100 00:04:59,413 --> 00:05:02,933 Speaker 4: to logic is really amusing. But this big, beautiful brain 101 00:05:03,013 --> 00:05:06,213 Speaker 4: she has inevity brings her back to mathematics, but she 102 00:05:06,573 --> 00:05:08,973 Speaker 4: sort of this whole new perspective on what it means 103 00:05:09,013 --> 00:05:09,893 Speaker 4: to be human in life. 104 00:05:09,933 --> 00:05:12,413 Speaker 3: And it's just this really gorgeous, slightly. 105 00:05:12,053 --> 00:05:15,413 Speaker 4: Different coming of age story, and it's really hard not 106 00:05:15,533 --> 00:05:18,253 Speaker 4: to fall in love with Margaret as a character played 107 00:05:18,253 --> 00:05:20,573 Speaker 4: by Alarump, who won numerous awards for us role. 108 00:05:20,733 --> 00:05:23,013 Speaker 3: So that is back in cinema's well worth catching. 109 00:05:23,213 --> 00:05:26,853 Speaker 2: Very good. Okay, cool, thank you. So it's Marguerite's Theorem. 110 00:05:26,933 --> 00:05:29,653 Speaker 2: Francisca's first film was film, but both of them sound 111 00:05:29,933 --> 00:05:33,733 Speaker 2: like great little films, like really enjoyable little weekend options. 112 00:05:33,733 --> 00:05:35,613 Speaker 2: So We'll have all of the details for those up 113 00:05:35,613 --> 00:05:38,213 Speaker 2: on the news talks. He'd be website. Jack, you seem 114 00:05:38,253 --> 00:05:40,693 Speaker 2: to think that tipping would be a short to medium 115 00:05:40,933 --> 00:05:44,773 Speaker 2: term option just to get restaurants through to better times. 116 00:05:44,973 --> 00:05:47,773 Speaker 2: How come I think that once it's in, it'll be 117 00:05:47,813 --> 00:05:51,333 Speaker 2: here permanently to stay after everything sneaks up in price, 118 00:05:51,533 --> 00:05:54,813 Speaker 2: says Craig Marden and Jack. Having returned from a trip 119 00:05:54,853 --> 00:05:56,853 Speaker 2: to the US two weeks ago, I can honestly say 120 00:05:56,853 --> 00:05:59,493 Speaker 2: that it was a relief to leave the tipping culture behind. 121 00:05:59,493 --> 00:06:02,493 Speaker 2: Tipping has got absolutely out of control in the States, 122 00:06:02,493 --> 00:06:05,733 Speaker 2: with places such as Starbucks fast food restaurants where you 123 00:06:05,773 --> 00:06:08,293 Speaker 2: have to line up up and order expecting you to 124 00:06:08,333 --> 00:06:10,133 Speaker 2: add a tip to the bill. It was so nice 125 00:06:10,133 --> 00:06:11,893 Speaker 2: coming back to New Zealand and having the price that 126 00:06:11,933 --> 00:06:13,293 Speaker 2: you see on the men. You be the price that 127 00:06:13,333 --> 00:06:16,253 Speaker 2: you pay with no extra expectations. I agree with that. 128 00:06:17,173 --> 00:06:19,293 Speaker 2: I mean, in the US it is just crazy, right, 129 00:06:19,293 --> 00:06:22,053 Speaker 2: And now they've got this whole thing like both Trump 130 00:06:22,053 --> 00:06:24,893 Speaker 2: and Karmel are promising no tax on tips. It's become 131 00:06:24,933 --> 00:06:27,773 Speaker 2: a whole campaign issue. But it is crazy when you 132 00:06:27,813 --> 00:06:30,373 Speaker 2: go to you know, you go to Starbucks and you 133 00:06:30,413 --> 00:06:32,533 Speaker 2: just buy something from the person behind the counter, and 134 00:06:32,533 --> 00:06:36,013 Speaker 2: they're expecting you to add another fifteen twenty twenty five 135 00:06:36,013 --> 00:06:39,413 Speaker 2: percent sometimes on top of the bill. Regarding rugby, Jack, 136 00:06:39,453 --> 00:06:43,453 Speaker 2: I'm a long suffering Wallaby's tragic who is genuinely battling 137 00:06:43,613 --> 00:06:46,373 Speaker 2: with how I would cope with the inevitable pasting we 138 00:06:46,453 --> 00:06:48,653 Speaker 2: will get from the All Backs today, so much so 139 00:06:48,773 --> 00:06:50,093 Speaker 2: that I decided not to watch. 140 00:06:50,813 --> 00:06:51,093 Speaker 3: Then. 141 00:06:51,373 --> 00:06:54,173 Speaker 2: However, my good mate and staunch All Back supporter said 142 00:06:54,173 --> 00:06:56,413 Speaker 2: he's been kicked out of the lounge for his daughter's sleepover. 143 00:06:56,493 --> 00:06:58,973 Speaker 2: Can he please come around and watch the game?
