1:03:00
And yet in this eight
or nine months
1:03:01
you have came no closer
1:03:03
to any proof
as to the existence of ah...
1:03:06
what is the name of it?
1:03:07
Ah, my wife has named it radium.
1:03:10
Oh yes, radium
1:03:12
I should like to ask
Dr. Curie a question.
1:03:14
Yes, Professor Roger
1:03:15
This work.
1:03:16
Will it require
quite a little time
1:03:18
will it not? Yes, of course.
1:03:21
But you are already
teaching at school
1:03:22
of physics and chemistry.
1:03:24
And Madam Curie is teaching at
the normal school at Sebra.
1:03:29
It would be
a formidable undertaking
1:03:30
under the best of circumstances.
1:03:32
Under these conditions
hardly seems promising.
1:03:36
And Madam Curie, in spite of
her acknowledged abilities is
1:03:41
if you would permit me
to say so young
1:03:45
inexperienced, and a woman.
1:03:48
Gentleman. If you please.
1:03:51
This remark seems to me
entirely irrelevant.
1:03:54
It is perfectly true
that Madame Curie is young
1:03:56
that she has not
had the experience
1:03:58
that most of us have had
1:03:59
and as you say she is a woman.
1:04:01
But let me impress upon you
gentlemen
1:04:03
that she is of most unusual woman
1:04:05
I might say her, ah
a most unusual woman.
1:04:08
You can't classify her
with that term
1:04:11
I have had the opportunity of
1:04:12
observing Madam Curie
very closely
1:04:14
and I can assure you, gentlemen
1:04:16
that she is remarkable scientist
1:04:18
as scrupulous as she is brilliant
1:04:20
and furthermore...
1:04:26
Of course, gentlemen
1:04:27
you understand
that I am looking upon
1:04:28
Madame Curie
with complete coolness
1:04:31
and complete detachment
1:04:33
as I would in judging
any other colleague.
1:04:35
We understand that
you are convinced
1:04:37
as to the reliability of
Madame curie's investigation.
1:04:41
Entirely, I have even put aside
my own research
1:04:43
to devote my entire time
1:04:45
to collaborating with her
1:04:46
in the isolation of
this new element.
1:04:50
Dr. Curie
1:04:52
much as we would like to
help you and Madame Curie
1:04:56
our budget does not provide the
purposes of this kind.
1:04:59
However, the suggestion was made
by Professor Roger
