The Importance of Scientific Curiosity and Nature
Elliot: [Jake shakes his head; students laugh]
You're not interested in what happened to the bees? You should be more interested in science, Jake. You know why? Because your face is perfect. The problem is, your face is perfect at 15. Now, if you were interested in science, you would know facts like the human nose and ears grow a fraction of an inch each year. So a perfect balance of features now, might not look so perfect five years from now, and might look downright whack 10 years from now. Come on, buddy. Take an interest in science. What could be the reason bees have vanished?
Jake: [after a long pause]
An act of nature, and we'll never fully understand it.
Elliot: [Jake raises his hand]
Nice answer, Jake. He's right. Science will come up with some reason to put in the books, but in the end it'll be just a theory. I mean, we will fail to acknowledge that there are forces at work beyond our understanding. To be a scientist, you must have a respectful awe for the laws of nature. Jake?
Jake:
How much does the human nose grow each year?
Elliot:
It's miniscule, buddy. Okay? Don't worry about it. You're going to be a heartthrob your whole life. I was just messing with you.
