Hidden Figures Page #3

Whats not fair is having

the responsibility of the Supervisor,

but not the title or the pay.

Watching you two moved on.

Now dont get me wrong.

Any upward movement is movement for us all

It just isnt movement for me.

Truth be told, Dorothy, I dont really know

if I can keep up in that room.

Ill be back with the Computers in a week,

or out of a job entirely.

Oh, please! Youre better with the numbers

than anyone in the cabin and you know it.

Make that pencil move as fast as

your mind does, youll be fine.

And you. Have some respect! Get

your damn feet off my dash board.

This isnt your jump living room.

I sound like a supervisor, dont I?

A mean, ole salty one.

Riddled with authority.

No question.

You dont mess with, Mrs. Vaughan.

Turn that music up!

- Goodnight, Katherine!

- Bye, Kath!

Goodnight, ladies!

See you in the morning.

- Here, baby!

- Hello, mamma.

I was fixing to call the National Guard.

Sorry, Momma.

New assignment.

Space Task Group.

Oh! No, girl! This how's important?

Its a promotion?

Maybe a slight promotion.

But you want the job, right?

I think so.

Its a challenge. But..

Well, it's nothing you cant do handle,

Katherine.

Thank you, mamma.

- Are they asleep yet?

- No. Pretending to be.

They're not pretending well, enough!

Thank you, mamma.

Loving.

This is my bed!

What are you doing!?

Its not fair how Joylette gets to

sleep by herself cause shes the oldest.

Yes. it is fair!

Constance, Kathy, sit.

Now, I understand you want to be grown.

And have your own space

So who wants to sleeps in that bed,

in Joylettes place,

will also do the dishes,

take out the trash,

and do all of Joylettes choirs.

Thats okay. Never mind.

Shes not so terrible to share with.

OK.

Now dont let me come home, find you

like this again. You hear me!

It's supposed to been asleep.

A long time ago.

We just wanna to say goodnight.

Youve been gone for 300 hours.

I work full time now. You all know that.

I have to be the mommy and the daddy.

I miss your father as much as anyone

Hes with his angels.

Yes. Hes with all his angels.

And hes watching over us.

Every minute. OK?

That's why we have to be strong.

All right?

- Yes, Mamma.

- Yeah! Get some rest, OK?

- Mamma?

- Yes, baby.

Are the Russians fixing to attack us?

Whered you get that from?

We had to hide under our desks today.

All scrunched up.

OK, baby. That's called a drill.

It means ..

You practice safety, just in case

something happens.

Truth is, we dont know what

theyre doing up there.

- You're going up to space too?

- No, baby. But..

Im going to do what I can to help those

brave men get there. Yes, I'm.

You can fly to space too if you wanted to,

Mamma. You can be an astronaut.

- Did you draw this?

- Yes, mamma.

Is that me?

Yes, it is.

Oh, well. Goodness! I love you, baby.

- Me too!

- I know, I know. Come here.

All right!

Now this time...really go to bed.

I love you.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I love my picture, baby.

- Praise God!

- Praise God!

- Hallelujah!

- Hallelujah!

Praise God that change is coming.

From the Southern Christian

Leadership Conference,

to the good Reverend Dr. King,

Hallelujah!

to the students sitting in

at lunch counters in North Carolina.

His faith in us has no limit!

The good Lord..

has our very own women..

workin on rocket ships!

And we have National Guardsmen

defending our freedom!

Give a shout of praise for Colonel

Jim Johnson.

Returning home by the grace of God,

to set up a National Guard unit

right here in Hampton.

- Can I get a Hallelujah in here?!

- Hallelujah!

I just don't understand..

I just.. I don't..

I don't understand.

I don't want to talk

about this again, OK?

A female engineer?

A female engineer.

Were Negro, baby. Aint no

such thing. Understand it.

Its not like that there, Levi.

You cant apply for freedom. Freedom

is never granted to the oppressed.

Its got to be demanded. Taken.

Stop quoting your slogans at me.

Theres more than one way to

achieve something.

I dont want any greens.

I tell you about interrupting?

Yeah! Try this, baby.

You need the greens too.

Kid needs to eat vegetables.

You would know that, if you were home.

You better settle down, Levi Jackson.

Less you want this females mind

right here, front of everybody.

All Im saying

Dont play the fool.

I dont want to see you get hurt.

NASAs never given you gals your due,

having a couple issued degrees

wont change that.

Civil rights aint always civil.

I don't wanna any greens either.

No lip, little miss. Your brother

gets them, and so do you.

I knew hes planning on staying

in the area.

Well. Thats good for him.

Katherine,

go find your way over there.

That Colonel Jims a tall glass of water!

That he is.

Tall. Strong. Commanding.

- Perhaps he's like that day...and night.

- Mary!

Its Sunday!

Please, have some shame.

I will not.

- Mm. I think hes smiling over here.

- At you!

- Then, Im not smiling back.

- Youre all teeth right now.

I am not!

- Hes coming over!

- Now, whys he doing that

- Because Marys waving at him!

- No! Ladies, I'm not..

Too late. Fix your hair on the side.

Im Dorothy Vaughan. This is Mary Jackson.

I believe you met her husband, Levi.

Yes, maam. We did meet each other.

And this is Katherine Goble.

Shes not married. Shes a widow.

With three little girls,

so well-behaved.

Angels on earth, if you'd like to call.

- Dorothy, slice-a pie?

- Id love one

Excuse me!

You've already have slice-a pie!

Well, I was just..

- fixing my three babies some plates.

- May I help?

Sure.

Ah! For salad!

Pastor mentioned youre a Computer

at NASA

- Yes!

- Whats that entail?

We calculate the mathematics

necessary to enable

launch and landing for

the Space Program.

- Pretty heady stuff!

- Yes, it is.

They let women handle that sort of..

Yes. Not what I mean!

What do you mean?

I am.. just surprised something so..

taxing..

Mr. Johnson!

If.. you at that quit talking right now!

Im not meaning any disrespect

Ill have you know, I was

the first Negro female

student at West Virginia

University Graduate School.

On any given day,

I analyze the manometer levels

for air displacement

friction and velocity.

and compute over 10,000

calculations by cosine,

square root and lately

Analytic Geometry.

By hand. There are 20 bright,

highly capable Negro women in the

West Computing Group,

and were proud to be doing our

part for the country.

So, yes..

They let women do some things at NASA,

Mr. Johnson.

And its not because we wear skirts..

Its because we wear glasses!

Have a good day!

Welcome.

Welcome, marina.

Right here, Gentlemen!

That's Alan Shepard.

US Navy pilot. He could be

the first man in space.

- Yes!

- Scott Carpenter and Walter Schirra.

Also Navy pilots.

All under 511, 180 lbs.

IQs over 130.

And handsome must

be a requirement too.

How can you possibly be

ogling these white men?

Its equal rights. I have the

right to see fine in every color.
