[Katherine enters the Space Task Group offices, as she look around in amazement Sam walks up to her and gives her a garbage bin]

Sam Turner: This wasn’t emptied last night.

Katherine Johnson: I’m sorry, I’m not the…custodian. [Katherine puts the bin down and walk over to Ruth] Excuse me, ma’am. Mr. Harrison’s computer reporting.

Ruth: Take the desk in the back, I’ll get your work in a bit. Mr. Harrison won’t warm up to you, don’t expect it. Do your work, keep your head down.

Katherine Johnson: Thank you.

Ruth: Go on. Get settled.
