Dr. Robert Donatti: Miss Zott, I supervise over a hundred of the country's finest chemists, who in turn generate groundbreaking work. They use equipment worth thousands of dollars to generate said work. And so when I hear that a lab tech is using our equipment after hours without proper supervision, it gives me pause.
Elizabeth Zott: Sir, I can explain. I have my Master's in chemistry from UCLA, where I studied cellular metabolism of nucleic acids. With all that said, I have been working in my off-hours, never on the clock, conducting my own experiments on abiogenesis. I am synthesizing simple, small molecules into nucleotides and nucleic acids. My research is very promising, and I intend to submit for the Remson.
Dr. Robert Donatti: Young lady, setting aside the fact that you're using lab equipment without proper supervision of a chemist...
Elizabeth Zott: [Zott interrupts] I am a chemist.
Dr. Robert Donatti: Our chemist have PhD's. I could never put the Hastings name on the submission of a lab tech that's proudly waving around her Master's from UCLA.
Elizabeth Zott: I was top of my class...
Dr. Robert Donatti: Miss Zott...
Elizabeth Zott: ...and I believe the work will speak for itself.
Dr. Robert Donatti: You are just not smart enough

Miss Zott I supervise over a hundred
00:00:05.201 --> 00:00:06.497
of the country's finest chemists
00:00:06.633 --> 00:00:09.904
who in turn generate groundbreaking work
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:13.706
They use equipment worth thousands of dollars to generate said work
00:00:13.841 --> 00:00:18.073
And so when I hear that a lab tech is using our equipment
00:00:18.209 --> 00:00:23.882
after hours without proper supervision it gives me pause
00:00:24.999 --> 00:00:27.719
Sir I can explain I have my master's in chemistry from UCLA
00:00:27.855 --> 00:00:30.855
where I studied cellular metabolism of nucleic acids
00:00:30.099 --> 00:00:34.598
With all that said I have been working in my off hours
00:00:34.733 --> 00:00:35.758
never on the clock
00:00:35.894 --> 00:00:37.928
conducting my own experiments on abiogenesis
00:00:38.064 --> 00:00:42.363
I am synthesizing simple small molecules into nucleotides
00:00:42.499 --> 00:00:43.432
and nucleic acids
00:00:43.568 --> 00:00:45.404
My research is very promising
00:00:45.539 --> 00:00:47.403
and I intend to submit for the Remsen
00:00:47.538 --> 00:00:50.609
Young lady setting aside the fact that you're using lab equipment
00:00:50.744 --> 00:00:52.615
without proper supervision of a chemist
00:00:52.075 --> 00:00:53.914
I am a chemist
00:00:54.997 --> 00:00:56.883
Our chemists have PhDs
00:00:57.001 --> 00:01:00.997
I could never put the Hastings name on the submission of a lab tech
00:01:00.183 --> 00:01:03.039
that's proudly waving around her master's from UCLA
00:01:03.526 --> 00:01:05.259
I was top of my class Miss Zott
00:01:05.001 --> 00:01:06.001
and the work will speak for itself
