Leonard went to see President Siebert to discuss his proposal to be a PI on a plasma physics project.
Well Dr. Hofstadter I must say this is a very fine proposal of yours for this plasma physics project. However, I am sorry to say that Caltech cannot fund this project.
Are you absolutely sure about this President Siebert?
Yes Dr. Hofstadter, a worthy effort but the answer is no.
OK, thank you for telling me this, please excuse me whilst I make some phone calls.
Good afternoon, may I speak to Professor Charlotte Jones. Hi Charlotte, this is Leonard Hofstadter calling from Caltech. They turned me down, I am ready to run this plasma physics project for you. Great, it will take me a couple of weeks to sort things out here, see you soon in Chicago.
Hi Penny, we are going to Chicago...
