:39:19
Mdme. Scholoscka...
:39:29
What is it? What's happened?
Is anything wrong?
:39:34
Dr. Curie.
:39:37
I find it impossible for you to
leave Paris.
:39:39
But what?
:39:39
Please. I must talk to you.
:39:41
I found myself in
a very peculiar position.
:39:43
During these past two weeks
:39:45
when you haven't
been to the laboratory
:39:46
I found everything very confusing
:39:48
It's impossible to do my work.
:39:49
In short, I find it impossible to
go on without you.
:39:52
But now, suddenly...
:39:52
something has become
very clear to me.
:39:55
I am helpful to you
in the laboratory, am I not?
:39:57
Am I not? Didn't you say that?
:39:58
Yes, of course.
:39:59
A few times, I've been able to
give you suggestions
:40:01
which you've found valuable
:40:02
Of course.
:40:03
Well, then, now.
:40:04
Where as I was inclined to
be nervous and impatient
:40:06
you were quite the opposite.
:40:07
You have a clear mind
you were tenacious
:40:08
you would never give up.
:40:09
It's an excellent combination.
:40:11
I might compare it with
the chemical formula NACI
:40:13
Sodium Chloride.
:40:14
It's a stable necessary compound.
:40:16
So if we marry on this basis
:40:18
our marriage would always
be the same.
:40:19
The temperature would be the same
:40:20
the composition would be the same
:40:22
There would be no destruction
no fluctuation
:40:23
none of the
uncertainties and emotions of love.
:40:26
But...
:40:27
I know how you feel about love
about men
:40:29
I mean
and I respect that feeling.
:40:31
It's also my own conviction.
:40:32
For the scientist
there is no time for love.
:40:34
I always believe science and
marriage to be incompatible
:40:37
but it's stupid to believe
in generalization.
:40:40
In our case, it would be a
wonderful collaboration.
:40:42
A wonderful collaboration.
Don't you feel that?
:40:46
I feel that.
:40:47
And as for your father
from what you've said
:40:49
I'm sure he would applaud
such a collaboration.
:40:52
He might.
:40:53
And as for Poland
what little good
:40:55
you could make there,
:40:55
you could make up here ten fold
on your own ground science.
