This is Walter White. Back at Cal<br />
Tech, this guy was the master of<br />
crystallography. One time we were<br />
stuck on this protein problem for<br />
weeks, and Walt just breezed right<br />
in and said, “Synchrotrons.”<br />
Walt forces a smile as the other men size him up.<br />

They generate purer and more<br />

Data collection takes a fraction of<br />

Everyone turns to Walt. Put on the spot, he reluctantly<br />

WALT<br />
Back when Elliott and I were in<br />
grad school, we came up with the<br />
name. Schwartz -- black. Walter<br />

One of the scientist geniuses, unaware of Walt’s history<br />
with Elliott, is surprised and finally impressed.<br />

So you’re running the company with<br />
Elliott?<br />
Walt is mortified, but covers.<br />
WALT<br />
Actually, no. I ended up going<br />
into education.
