Half hour ago
I developed the plate.
:25:07
This is the result.
:25:09
You mean, then, that...
:25:11
there is something about that rock
:25:12
that gives off rays of its own.
:25:14
Rays powerful enough to go
through black paper
:25:17
and affect this photographic plate.
:25:18
That, Monsieur, must be so.
:25:21
Incredible.
:25:22
It is incredible.
:25:24
It's as if they were
a piece of the sun
:25:26
locked up in here.
:25:29
Strange. Very strange.
:25:32
What could it be? What could be
the nature of radiation?
:25:35
What could be the origin of it?
:25:37
Perhaps we shall never know.
:25:40
It was very kind of you
to take me
:25:41
to Dr. Becquerel's laboratory.
:25:43
Not at all...
:25:45
Dr. Curie
:25:47
I want to thank you
also for allowing me
:25:49
to do my experiments here
in your laboratory.
:25:51
I couldn't have done this
if it weren't
:25:52
for Natural Science Industry
:25:54
for allowing me of your kindness.
:25:55
You finished that already?
:25:56
Yes, I had to do it quickly
:25:57
because I should not
have much time from now on
:25:59
to come to the laboratory.
:26:01
Why? What do you mean?
:26:03
From now on, I shall spend
most of my time studying.
:26:05
My examination's coming up
in less than two weeks, you know.
:26:09
So soon? I haven't realized.
:26:11
Yes. I have been here
six months.
:26:13
It's the middle of June.
:26:14
The term is nearly over.
:26:16
How fast it goes.
:26:18
Yes.
:26:19
You know a short time ago
that tree was a skeleton.
:26:22
I always used to look forward
to my summer in my country
:26:25
but I'm only there
at stray moments now
:26:26
when I go to visit my parents.
:26:28
They have this small place
outside of Paris at Sol.
:26:30
I used to take long walks
towards the woods there
:26:33
with my brother, Jacques.
:26:35
So nice to be walking
in the country.
:26:36
My father loves to walk.
:26:38
Your father?
Is he here in Paris?
:26:40
Oh, no. In Warsaw
:26:42
but we get out of the city
now and then.
:26:44
Warsaw. But you're not thinking
going to Warsaw.
:26:47
Of course.
:26:48
But when?
:26:48
As soon as
I finished my examinations.
:26:50
But for how long?
:26:51
Why for... Why, Dr. Curie.
:26:53
You forget that if I passed
my examinations
:26:55
I'm going back to Poland
to teach.
:26:56
Well, I knew that...
wish I knew when we first came,
:26:59
but everything is changed now.
