Madame Curie

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

1:05:04

in which we have unanimously
concurred to offer you the use

1:05:07

of the shade across the courtyard
from the school of physics.

1:05:12

We are aware that this shade

1:05:13

is not the most suitable place for
your investigation.

1:05:16

Gentlemen
am I to understand that

1:05:18

you are offering us the old shade
across from the physics building?

1:05:21

The one, that was used as a
dissecting room

1:05:23

by medical students?
If this abominable shade is available,

1:05:27

it's only because no one can be
found who is willing to work in it.

1:05:30

The roof leaks. It has no floor
but the wet ground.

1:05:33

It can't be heated.

1:05:35

In summer, it is stifling
as a hot house

1:05:37

and in winter, it freezes.

1:05:38

And do you imagine that

1:05:40

I would permit my wife to work
under these appalling conditions?

1:05:43

If you do
gentlemen, believe me...

1:05:51

With my husband's permission

1:05:53

we should be very glad
to accept the shade.
