The best bit of that scene is that Dick's nausea is presented as perfectly reasonable and Dot is sympathetic (I suspect she'd have coped a lot better doing it, having mental resources that Dick lacks). And that's also the point everyone went "spot the future theoretical physicist!"
Although my money is on Dot at Bletchley, rather than Dick.
ETA; oh good grief, am now imagining Dot as M, having got her Damehood long before Dick gets his knighthood. And a patronising comment along the lines of "I didn't get it for *typing*" as someone interviews the siblings on the eve of Dick visiting the Queen. Meanwhile Dick is looking blank and going (genuinely): "I never asked. If Dot wanted to tell me, she'd have told me. No, why would I be jealous? I'm the scientist; she's the smart one."
