I put him up for the job.
And they wouldn't let me in on an interview.
So I loitered around.
And when Bob and the interview committee came out
doing their handshakes
and thank you for coming and we'll let you know, I moved in.
You gave him the job, right?
You gave Bob the job, didn't you?
There was this kind of embarrassed pause,
so I told them straight.
Bob and I are gonna walk down the corridor right here
and right out that door right there.
And if you don't want Bob to have a job that he was born to do,
then you call it before we go through that door.
- Longest walk of my life.
- Sixty two paces.
- They won't tell me what they're thinking.
- Doctors don't.
- They don't know themselves yet.
- I'm a doctor, Isobel, I know what they're like.
- You're tropical disease expert, dad.
- I know doctors!
- What Isobel?
- Nothing.
I'll arrange for you to have a private room.
No.
I'll stay on the ward like everyone else.
So, have you applied for Oxford or Cambridge?
They don't want me.
I was thinking of Westfield.
It's an all ladies college.
On the Burton model, I suppose.
And..and it's quite
Scrabble. Let's play scrabble.
Leukaemia.
He's twelve.
It was beautiful.
I came out of the woods and there it was.
The antenna.
A great big horn like a gramophone horn
lying on its side.
The size of a house.
In the middle of a field, on a hill,
20 miles out of New York City.
- Picking up the hiss.
- Pointing at the stars.
And picking up the hiss.
And at the first time I saw that horn,
you know what?
- Well, they flew right out of her.
- Who?
The pigeons.
The twenty foot horn had a couple of pigeons living inside it.
- Pigeons?
- Pigeons!
What was it for, the 20 foot horn?
Apart from pigeon nesting.
from the outer edges of the Milky Way.
- Arno built a cold load.
- What's that?
- Five imperial gallons of liquid helium.
- You know how much helium that is?
It's a hell of a quantity of helium.
Gives you an unbelievably accurate reference
against which you can measure the noise you receive.
Arno was very precise.
He makes these things better than anyone.
- Maybe it's the German in me.
- You're German?
First six years of my life and a big chunk
of my temperament.
Bob made a great switch.
To connect the receiver alternately to the antenna
and the cold load reference.
Were you born in Germany?
- When? The 1940's?
- No. 1930's.
Noise is heat.
