They are going to play the piano.

Come along... There they are.

This is the student of whom

we were speaking.

Mme. Scholoscka.

Dr. Pierre Curie.

We have already met.

Dr. Curie is gracious

in consenting

for you to work

in his laboratory

I am very grateful.

Of course, I have no idea

that is...

Would you sit down, Madame?

Oh, would you please excuse me.

I feel my grandchildren are about

to entertain.

Would you care for tea?

Thank you. I've just had some.

It's coffee.

I appreciate very deeply

Dr. Curie

the privilege of working in

your laboratory.

Playing incredibly badly

don't you think?

Very badly, Dr. Curie.

Of course, I'm no judge.

Professor Poirot is an

excellent scientist.

Oh, good morning, Dr. Curie.

Good morning, David.

The furnace is taken down

and I'm beginning to set up

for room temperature readings.

I have the sulphates

all ready for you.

Thank you.

No one has arrived yet?

Here at the laboratory? Yes.

No, sir.

Are you expecting someone?

Well, a pupil of Dr. Poirot

who's going to do some work here

for a short time.

Yes, sir.

Her name is Marie Sc...

Funny, I was introduced

to her twice.

Scholoscka.

She's a girl.

I didn't find out in time.

Always the continuous struggle

against woman, David

When we wish to give

all our thoughts to some work

which is strangest to humanity

we always have to

struggle against woman.

Yes, sir. And women scientists

are particularly unattractive

I find, sir

Women's love in life is the

living of it.

In the world of

abstract research

she's a danger, destruction.

She's a natural enemy of science

There's no doubt of it, sir.

Woman and science are

incompatible.

Woman of genius are rare.

No true scientist

can have anything with women.

No, sir.

Anyway, David, put her over there

in that far corner.

Yes, sir.

And if you can

without being rude

inform her how important silence

is to laboratory work.

I do hope she doesn't whistle.

Oh, David.

Would you mind going to

the storeroom upstairs

and see

if there's a magnetometer.

She'll need

one for her experiments.

Oh, yes.

I... I'm very sorry, sir.

I beg your pardon

are you looking for something?

Yes. I'm looking for

Dr. Curie's laboratory.

You're here. But you're not...

I mean you can't be...

Excuse me, please.

No. You don't understand.

You see

I'm Dr. Curie's assistant.

Oh... then you can direct me.

Oh, I certainly can.

Certainly can.

Oh, just this way.

Thank you.

What do you think of that?

I run into you the first thing.

You know, Dr. Curie has asked me

look out for you.

Be sure to have

everything you want

so I'll just take everything

into my own hands.
