symposium of graduate students.
Summer, three years
ago. After classes, we'd
go swimming in a little
river near the school.
You were an awful sissy
about that icy water.
Now, Ruth, don't tell me
you've forgotten.
Dr. Meacham, all I can say
is I'm deeply flattered...
the girl you've mistaken me for.
And now I think Exeter
I'm sure you must be
puzzled, doctor.
feelings on the day of my arrival.
Exeter isn't exactly conventional
in his hiring methods.
Or his choice
of personnel.
rather a personal dig.
Once you're at the club, I'm sure
you'll like us much better. The club?
That's what we call it. Exeter has
spared nothing for our comfort...
or facilities
for our work.
Inside looks better, doctor.
They'll bring your bags in.
Your plane.
The elevators down to Exeter's
slave quarters. Our laboratories.
Our living room, social center, library.
This is Exeter's office and study. Not
exactly what you expected,
Dr. Meacham, is it?
Good morning, doctor.
Good morning, doctors.
Give me your coat.
Engelborg, from Munich. The doctor's
out for his morning constitutional.
He's been here a week, but
his English and my German...
Who's that one? That's Brack,
one of Exeter's assistants.
But you'll find them all
very helpful.
What language do they
speak? Anything you wish:
English, Hindustani,
Congoese. Anything.
Dr. Meacham.
Good morning.
Good morning. Please
come in, both of you.
Dr. Adams.
Sit down.
Oh, yes, Steve. About that
nuclear decay factor, Ruth.
I'm afraid my equation
just doesn't seem to work.
time to go over it with me later.
I still think the basic principle
is all right. Maybe we can trust...
Yes, well,
thank you, Dr. Adams.
Oh, there you are,
Dr. Adams.
I was just reminding
Dr. Meacham...
that I'd promised to produce some
of his colleagues in the flesh.
May I use you
as exhibit "a"?
I'm afraid Dr. Meacham
isn't too happy with me.
At the airport, he was
sure we were old friends.
Obviously, I was wrong.
What is more important is... who
we are, what we're doing here.
Dr. Meacham, I represent
a group of scientists...
Who work with but one purpose:
to put an end to war.
Naturally, such a goal can't be attained
without experts of superior ability:
Men of vision, men such as
you, doctor, gathered here...
Exchanging information daily, putting
aside all thoughts of personal success.
We hope to achieve exciting new
techniques, leap years ahead of the others.
I don't think I need tell you how
