UNIVERSITY OFFICIAL: We are pleased and proud to accept your son, Victor, at the University of Ingolstadt

VICTOR: It's the finest school of the sciences in all of Europe

HENRY: Congratulations!

VICTOR: Henry... I think I've discovered something extraordinary. I... I can't explain it yet. But only at Ingolstadt will I find the tools to explore it

HENRY: Victor... since boyhood you have been bent on conquering the world. Haven't you learned that no man truly can?

VICTOR: What I've learned... is that there is no secret that mankind will not one day know

HENRY: And perhaps... regret knowing

FATHER: Victor... come. Your mother hasn't much time

ELIZABETH: We both know your mother would have wanted you to go on to University, Victor

VICTOR: Elizabeth... we haven't been apart for a day since we were five. How will I manage without you?
