Probably the most authentic representation of science on the big screen

A scientific exchange of ideas from the movie "Awakenings"

Doctor Sayer (Robin Williams) is a fresh-out-of-school Scientist. 

Doctors #1 and #2 are older, and more experienced.

Dr. Sayer: "Earthworms!"

Dr. #1: "I'm sorry?"

Dr. Sayer: "It was an immense project. I was to extract 1 decigram of myelin from 4 tons of earthworms."

Dr. #1: "Really?"

Dr. Sayer: "Yes, I was on that project for 5 years.  I was the only one who believed in it. Everyone else said it couldn't be done."

Dr. #2: "It can't."

Dr. Sayer: "I know that now. I *proved* it."
