00:00:30I didn't want to be like him.
00:00:47I didn't want to...
00:00:59be like him at all.
00:01:01He was always very kind of boyish.
00:01:13He was not socialized, I would not say.
00:01:18He had never really been into a small talk.
00:01:23It horrified me, it horrified me to see that dark room and the light that he worked under
00:01:41was just a very small patch.
00:01:44I didn't want to know.
00:02:28Whether it was my mother that called or someone from Colombia, I have no idea.
00:02:52I just got the message that my father had died.
00:02:58I just got the message that my father had died.
00:03:28I just got the message that my father had died.
00:03:58I just got the message that my father had died.
00:04:04We're going to build all the stuff that my father had to be.
00:04:06We're going to build all the stuff that's going to be right now.
00:04:10We're going to build all the stuff that you want.
00:04:14Oh, come on, Herman. I'm standing on a soft rock.
00:04:44Wow. It's lovely. Great. What do we have here? 3L.
00:04:56This is the BTN. Right, so that's a deficiency gap.
00:05:02Do you know what a whale shark is?
00:05:08When you dissect it, it sounds very grand.
00:05:12Right, but you do understand that essentially what this means is that it's spontaneous.
00:05:16There's a massive gap here.
00:05:20Actually, download it further, too. That's fascinating.
00:05:24There are the meadows. There are the woodlands.
00:05:42Robed in clouds, a blooming spring.
00:05:50Jesus is fairer.
00:05:54Jesus is pureer.
00:06:00He makes no sorrow.
00:06:02Jesus is pureer.
00:06:04Jesus is pureer.
00:06:06He makes no sorrowing spirit sing.
00:06:12Jesus is pureer.
00:06:14He makes no sorrowing spirit sing.
00:06:18Jesus is pureer.
00:06:24He makes no sorrowing spirit sing.
00:06:29Jesus is pureer.
00:06:35Jesus is pureer.
00:06:51I'm sorry.
00:06:53Jesus is pureer.
00:06:56Come on.
00:07:26You've got lead feed, come on.
00:07:47Dr. Bridges.
00:07:55Dr. Wilson.
00:08:02Betsy, hurry up, come on.
00:08:12Hello.
00:08:19Hello.
00:08:20I'm Calvin Bridges' daughter, and I'm coming to visit his work.
00:08:24Oh, welcome.
00:08:25Come on in.
00:08:26Have you ever seen the side of a frog before?
00:08:28No.
00:08:29This is what it looks like.
00:08:31See?
00:08:32I just opened it up here.
00:08:33You can see what's inside.
00:08:34Betsy.
00:08:35Betsy, come on.
00:08:36I have to go.
00:08:37All right.
00:08:38Have a good day.
00:08:39You too.
00:08:40It was a pleasure meeting you.
00:08:41Pleasure.
00:08:42Enjoy your frogs.
00:08:49Don't touch anything.
00:08:52Don't move anything.
00:08:55You're talking to anyone while they're working, and especially in your photographs in the lab.
00:09:01But that's what I brought my camera for.
00:09:03Betsy.
00:09:04Yes?
00:09:05Hello, Morgan.
00:09:06Calvin.
00:09:07Betsy.
00:09:08Hello, Professor Morgan.
00:09:09Hello, Betsy.
00:09:10Gertrude sends her thanks for helping today.
00:09:11Of course.
00:09:12My pleasure.
00:09:13Now, how is your dear mother?
00:09:18She has trouble walking up the stairs and now I have to carry Nate.
00:09:19Good morning, Dr. Bridges.
00:09:20So nice of you to join us.
00:09:21How is mapping the first chromosome, Dr. Sturdivant?
00:09:22Will it be ready by the end of 1927?
00:09:23That all depends on whether you get me the most recent recombination frequency number.
00:09:24I'm going to go.
00:09:25I'm going to go.
00:09:26Dr. Bridges.
00:09:27So nice of you to join us.
00:09:28How is mapping the first chromosome, Dr. Sturdivant?
00:09:29Will it be ready by the end of 1927?
00:09:30That all depends on whether you get me the most recent recombination frequency numbers,
00:09:31Dr. Bridges.
00:09:33So, kinder.
00:09:34Good morning, Dr. Bridges.
00:09:38So nice of you to join us.
00:09:41How is mapping the first chromosome, Dr. Sturdivant?
00:09:44Will it be ready by the end of 1927?
00:09:47That all depends on whether you get me the most recent
00:09:49recombination frequency numbers, Dr. Bridges.
00:09:52Zoch Kinder.
00:09:58This one's got a funny little right wing.
00:10:01One of yours, Herman.
00:10:03If I would call it, I want.
00:10:06After Igor.
00:10:08What do you think?
00:10:09You see, it starts as an egg,
00:10:12and then it becomes a larva,
00:10:14and then finally a pupa,
00:10:16and then of course once again the adult flock.
00:10:33I want some wine.
00:10:34Oh, that's fine.
00:10:35Oh, that'll be okay.
00:10:36Right there.
00:10:37No harm.
00:10:38Now, I have something that I'm quite sure will interest you.
00:10:43You have to sit there.
00:10:44I think you're going to really like this.
00:10:46Madame et monsieur le paradis.
00:10:47Madame et monsieur le paradis.
00:10:49Madame et monsieur le paradis.
00:10:54Madame et monsieur le paradis.
00:10:56Madame et monsieur le paradis.
00:10:59Madame et monsieur le paradis.
00:11:01Sit there. I think you're going to really like this.
00:11:08Madame and Monsieur Le Paradis.
00:11:31Come in, please.
00:11:55Betsy, I'd like you to meet Miss Wallace.
00:11:58Come with me, dear.
00:12:01Do we need a number on this? Does it matter?
00:12:03Probably not. T1.
00:12:05That was mine. Oh, terrific.
00:12:13Did you make all these drawings?
00:12:15They're very good.
00:12:19May I have some paper, please?
00:12:31Of course.
00:12:37That's very beautiful.
00:12:45There you are.
00:12:47What's that?
00:12:59That is The Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci.
00:13:03But he's naked.
00:13:05No.
00:13:07He's not naked.
00:13:09He's nude.
00:13:11And there's nothing wrong with a naked body in the context of great art.
00:13:17Have you ever seen a naked man, Miss Wallace?
00:13:21You?
00:13:23I've only ever seen my brothers naked.
00:13:25They look very silly without clothes.
00:13:27Not bad, Calvin.
00:13:29One of these days, that file was ready.
00:13:43They look very silly.
00:13:45They look very silly.
00:13:50Miss Wallace?
00:13:51Yes?
00:13:52How do you make the eyes on the flies look real?
00:13:55Well, inside the fly eyes are hundreds of repeating shapes.
00:14:01And you may want to color in those shapes, different shades of red.
00:14:06Well, of course, going around the banana.
00:14:12Can I tell you about the...
00:14:14Cantonese...
00:14:15Strain.
00:14:18How I named it?
00:14:19No, not quite.
00:14:21You know, I captured that strain in Canton, Ohio.
00:14:24Hence the name.
00:14:26Guess what the S is for?
00:14:28Sarah.
00:14:30Sarah.
00:14:31Sarah.
00:14:32Sarah.
00:14:33Who's Sarah?
00:14:34Special Sarah.
00:14:36Yes, yes, she's a special guy.
00:14:38Her vagina was so large.
00:14:40My God, man, by the way she could work it.
00:14:43Anyway...
00:14:45You know, there are three.
00:14:46I like red.
00:14:47This is the newest one.
00:14:48Red is a beautiful color.
00:14:54And while I was waiting...
00:14:56They had both...
00:14:57They served to their guest.
00:14:58There was three bananas.
00:15:00Three bananas.
00:15:01And surrounding the bananas were these wild flies, the Cantonese.
00:15:05Well, this excited me.
00:15:07I followed my impulse.
00:15:09I grabbed the fly.
00:15:10I put it in a vial that I had myself.
00:15:12While I danced with Sarah for the next hour and a half.
00:15:17It has.
00:15:20The flies.
00:15:47So, let's go.
00:16:17So, let's go.
00:16:47Let me introduce you.
00:16:49This is Betsy.
00:16:51Betsy Meredith.
00:16:53And that's baby Edward over there.
00:16:54Oh, my God.
00:16:57What have we there, baby Edward?
00:17:06A good smile, anyway.
00:17:10It just looks wonderful, really.
00:17:11Have we eaten yet?
00:17:14We have not eaten, but we must all be hungry.
00:17:16Let's see what's in here for us to eat, shall we?
00:17:19Can you open your mouth a little bit larger now?
00:17:21Here it comes.
00:17:22Here it comes.
00:17:23Wow.
00:17:24Isn't that right?
00:17:28Okay.
00:17:30Well, we're going to have a...
00:17:32I'm going to have a little bit more.
00:17:33Let's go.
00:17:36Let's go.
00:17:37Let's go.
00:17:37Let's go.
00:17:38BIRDS CHIRP
00:18:08What are you thinking about?
00:18:19Listening to the cicadas.
00:18:22What were you doing 17 years ago?
00:18:26Not thinking that I would come up for four weeks to the surface of the earth and then pass away.
00:18:34Could you spend 17 years underground?
00:18:38I think perhaps I already have.
00:18:40I think perhaps I already have.
00:19:08I think perhaps I have.
00:19:10I think perhaps I have.
00:19:13I think perhaps I have.
00:19:15I think perhaps I have.
00:19:17I think perhaps I have.
00:19:19I think perhaps I have.
00:19:22I think perhaps I have.
00:19:24I think perhaps I have.
00:19:26I think perhaps I have.
00:19:29I think perhaps I have.
00:19:31I think perhaps I have.
00:19:33I think perhaps I have.
00:19:36Look at the earthworms that I found at the park today.
00:19:38Oh my.
00:19:40Aren't they beautiful?
00:19:41Yes.
00:19:42I'm going to give them some dirt to eat.
00:19:44And do they have names?
00:19:46Yes.
00:19:46That's Billy, Barbara, and Buster.
00:19:48They're very beautiful creatures.
00:19:50Yes.
00:19:50Does anyone study earthworms like, like you study flies?
00:19:59Well, one can study mutations in insects.
00:20:03Barbara!
00:20:05Earthworms.
00:20:06Humans.
00:20:09Plants.
00:20:11Trees.
00:20:11Really, anything.
00:20:12Could you get Billy off of my drawing, please?
00:20:14I'm sorry.
00:20:15Thank you so much.
00:20:17It's good you remembered it was Billy.
00:20:19I know.
00:20:19I don't want to mix up your friends.
00:20:22I think you're Billy.
00:20:25How do you tell if a worm is a boy or a girl?
00:20:28That is a very good question.
00:20:30I think you should ask your father about that.
00:20:37This one's had a rough night.
00:20:40What's wrong with it?
00:20:42Don't tempt fate, Herman.
00:20:45Say, hello there.
00:20:51Hello, Mr. Mueller.
00:20:53How are you, Betsy?
00:20:54Good.
00:20:56Good.
00:20:57And you?
00:20:59I'm doing just fine.
00:21:01What are you doing here, Betsy?
00:21:03Spending the day with me, like Mother said.
00:21:06That's my desk.
00:21:08Go back with you, Edith.
00:21:12That's not what Mother said I should do.
00:21:15Well, your mother's not here, is she?
00:21:18Go back to Edith.
00:21:21I'm going to tell her what you said.
00:21:22You're quite an unruly child.
00:21:36Be careful, Stash.
00:21:37She'll take your job.
00:21:40Ninety-ninety-one.
00:21:41I'm getting no females in this batch.
00:22:03After tomorrow, I want to hear nothing more about you.
00:22:06Go to sleep.
00:22:19I love you, Mom.
00:22:33I love you, sweetie.
00:22:38God bless you.
00:22:39What does it matter if I have a certain life for them?
00:22:55You have to help me on this one.
00:22:57The doctor said not to move.
00:22:58I have to stay here.
00:22:59She wants to play.
00:23:00She wants to get into things.
00:23:02She's not going to have to take her again and show her.
00:23:04It is no place for a little girl.
00:23:06Betsy does not need to see one more.
00:23:08For Christ's sake, quiet down, Helen.
00:23:11Don't tell me to be quiet.
00:23:13Jesus fucking Christ.
00:23:15Let's go.
00:23:18It is a prayer.
00:23:31Jesus fucking is dead.
00:23:32He wants to take us.
00:23:34Jesus fucking is dead.
00:23:36His will be we will be let you know of the man's house.
00:23:37Amen.
00:23:38Amen.
00:23:38This is a prayer.
00:23:39He wants to take another life.
00:23:40In his place, it is a prayer.
00:23:41Hey, we will be here.
00:23:43bye.
00:23:43Bye.
00:23:44Bye.
00:23:44Bye.
00:23:45You know, there's nothing quite like starting up your morning by wiping three-week-old banana
00:24:05goo off milk bottles.
00:24:06How many do you have left to clean?
00:24:08Oh, endless supply.
00:24:09Endless.
00:24:10Can I help you?
00:24:13This is no task for a fine lady like yourself.
00:24:18I don't mind.
00:24:19Okay, well, you need this.
00:24:21There you go.
00:24:24Oh.
00:24:25A lot of fun, right?
00:24:28You know, your father actually designed a new type of bottle.
00:24:32Square bottom prevents it from rattling around in the crates when we transport them.
00:24:36He also invented an improved fly food recipe that doesn't spoil us quickly.
00:24:43But he doesn't want to share it with the rest of us.
00:24:45I told you, Herman.
00:24:47The secret is molasses.
00:24:49And so...
00:24:50Oh, I'm sorry.
00:24:51And I'm done.
00:24:52And faster than you.
00:24:53Oh, but less thorough.
00:24:54And that's where the real artistry of this job lies, young Betsy.
00:25:01So this yellow fly here has long hair on its back.
00:25:08Antennae as long as its face, and also long eyelashes, and white eyes.
00:25:15We call this fly sternopleural.
00:25:22Doesn't it look like your father?
00:25:23Yes, it does look a bit like him.
00:25:24Mm-hmm.
00:25:25And the smaller version of the same fly would be you.
00:25:27I don't look anything like him.
00:25:28I look like him.
00:25:29Mm-hmm.
00:25:30And the smaller version of the same fly would be you.
00:25:34I don't look anything like him.
00:25:35I look like my mother.
00:25:41Miller, what's the latest on the sex ratios of the last cross?
00:25:48Uh, about 3 to 1 ratio of the next 20.
00:25:54Oh, my cousin.
00:25:57Who knows?
00:25:58Sure.
00:25:59You know what I was saying.
00:26:01And I don't know.
00:26:02Why, when you're talking about him.
00:26:06I don't know, what's the last thing I was saying?
00:26:09about three to one ratio, male to female.
00:26:14I counted 321 males to 96 females.
00:26:22Mr. Mueller?
00:26:23Hmm?
00:26:24I'd marry you when I grow up, probably.
00:26:27Though you already have a wife.
00:26:31Well, if I didn't have a wife,
00:26:34I think I would accept.
00:26:39Are you taking pictures?
00:26:49Yes.
00:26:51Um, perhaps maybe you can get my left side.
00:26:55I seem to prefer it over my right.
00:27:00I think you look fine either way.
00:27:03Well, thank you.
00:27:06Smile.
00:27:07I-I-I'm-I'm smiling.
00:27:11Both sides.
00:27:19What are you doing?
00:27:24Well...
00:27:27I'm calculating crossing over frequencies
00:27:30to determine the distance between genes on a chromosome.
00:27:32Can I take a picture of your crossword puzzle?
00:27:36No.
00:27:37These snapshots are disturbing us.
00:27:39Go away.
00:27:42Yesterday, Miss Wallace told me you can't see colors.
00:27:45Well, Miss Wallace is wrong.
00:27:47I can see certain colors.
00:27:49Why only certain?
00:27:52Well, that's...
00:27:54That's the way I was born.
00:27:56Why do you have two hands?
00:27:58Why are your eyes blue?
00:27:59Why is your hair the color that it is?
00:28:01Why are some people tall and some people short?
00:28:04It's just the way we're born.
00:28:06And what determines those characteristics
00:28:09is exactly what we're trying to study right now.
00:28:12Can you see the red eyes and the flies?
00:28:15Or does my daddy have to tell you that they're red?
00:28:18No.
00:28:19No, I can see just fine.
00:28:21I collect all the data
00:28:23about the different kinds of flies I see.
00:28:26Why don't you go and ask your father about his totem pole?
00:28:29Why don't you show me earlier?
00:28:31Yes.
00:28:33I was looking at it.
00:28:35This is the Bithorax mutant.
00:28:37It's quite amazing.
00:28:38A second pair of wings, a second stomach,
00:28:40and completely duplicated thoracic features.
00:28:42I've never noticed that the duplication
00:28:43of the second thoracic segment
00:28:44led to a loss of the whole view.
00:28:46Come on.
00:28:48Come on.
00:28:49Come on.
00:28:51Come on.
00:28:52Come on.
00:28:53Come on.
00:28:54Come on.
00:28:55Come on.
00:28:56Come on.
00:28:57Come on.
00:28:59Come on.
00:29:29Betsy, word is, it's going to be wild tonight.
00:29:59It's going to be wild.
00:30:29It's going to be wild.
00:30:59Are these bithorax flies?
00:31:09Yes, they are.
00:31:12Is it caused by a mutation?
00:31:17Well, yes it is.
00:31:18During development, there's a duplication of one of the body segments.
00:31:27What happens is a fly has little fat arms known as halteers.
00:31:43But the bithorax changes those little fat arms into wings.
00:31:51The added weight of the fly and the absence of the halteers
00:31:56restrict the most beautiful mutant we have from actually flying.
00:32:05Can I look inside?
00:32:08Sure, one moment.
00:32:09Don't touch that.
00:32:27It's an expensive object, not a toy.
00:32:29Go ahead.
00:32:35Don't squint.
00:32:37I'm not squinting.
00:32:39Pretend you're looking through.
00:32:41Like this.
00:32:42They're real.
00:32:51Mm-hmm.
00:32:52Can you see the dark spot?
00:32:54Yes.
00:32:55That's the meconium.
00:32:58The meconium is a dark spot that indicates that the fly is a virgin.
00:33:06What does that mean?
00:33:10Hey, Alfred.
00:33:11You know all about that.
00:33:13Why don't you tell Betsy what a virgin is?
00:33:17Oh, how should I put this?
00:33:23A virgin is a young female who has not yet been touched by a male.
00:33:35Are they dead?
00:33:37You keep twitching.
00:33:38They're having nightmares.
00:33:43What's your stock over here?
00:33:59Yeah.
00:34:00Here you go.
00:34:02Some ether.
00:34:04But those little fellas.
00:34:05Some...
00:34:061,500 flies are quite sufficient.
00:34:101.8% for BPR recombination.
00:34:13I can't imagine both of you.
00:34:14Lots of variability.
00:34:17Since you have Ho Noun Mutant in the last end of 2,
00:34:20it resembles Ho probably.
00:34:23I do focus.
00:34:54Sweetie, I think you went a bit too far with the ether.
00:35:06Those fellows are going to be asleep for a very long time.
00:35:10How long?
00:35:12Possibly eternity.
00:35:14Um, here's what you do.
00:35:17A quick dunk onto cotton, like so.
00:35:24That's all they need to be all nice, relaxed, and happy.
00:35:29What's a three-letter word for?
00:35:32Fly.
00:35:34Ass.
00:35:35Classy.
00:35:36On the 89th.
00:35:46It's the 89th factor for the bithorax.
00:35:48Oh, that's incredible.
00:35:49On the first T2.
00:35:51I think we almost have enough data to put a pen in there.
00:35:54Bill, I'd like to introduce you to my colleagues, Mr. William Pearlie.
00:35:58This is Dr. Bridges, Dr. Sturdivant.
00:36:02Bill is here on assignment from Popular Science.
00:36:06I've been explaining to Bill about your outstanding work on the life chart.
00:36:10Nice to meet you.
00:36:11Nice to meet you.
00:36:11So, this is the world-famous life chart?
00:36:15Uh, yes.
00:36:15Well, we like to call it the totem pole.
00:36:18Herman, I found a virgin.
00:36:20Betsy, enough chatter.
00:36:23Will you excuse me, gentlemen?
00:36:26Yes, this is the totem of the hereditary controlling genes.
00:36:29Each panel represents a different chromosome of the fruit fly.
00:36:35Each pin is a gene.
00:36:38We can see the distance between genes on the same chromosome,
00:36:42and that way understand their interaction.
00:36:44Are you able to design new genes?
00:36:46Uh, well, not yet.
00:36:48But soon, uh, we may be able to select for specific traits.
00:36:53We can only understand how factors genes recombine, uh, in insects.
00:37:00We can't play God.
00:37:01Yes, this is not about eugenics.
00:37:04We're not improving on nature,
00:37:05but rather we're trying to understand the basic laws that determine who we are.
00:37:09Precisely.
00:37:10Have you boys been following the John Scopes trial?
00:37:12Yeah, but it is ludicrous to think that teaching evolution is anti-religious.
00:37:18Same goes for the study of genes.
00:37:19Well, yes, of course.
00:37:20Without genes, the basic mechanisms of evolution cannot operate.
00:37:25Cannot operate.
00:37:27Well, gentlemen, this has been very interesting.
00:37:29Thank you very much.
00:37:30I'll follow up with any further questions.
00:37:32Sure thing, Mr. Powley.
00:37:33And Godspeed to you.
00:37:39Next time, we will tell him how we discovered the God gene.
00:37:42Then people will accuse us of trying to eliminate God.
00:37:45Or trying to mutate him.
00:37:46Edith, I wanted to show you this.
00:37:58What I saw by thorax is on the 89th position.
00:38:04Hmm.
00:38:06Hmm.
00:38:06What do you think?
00:38:07It's great.
00:38:08It's beautiful work.
00:38:09Betsy, how tall are you?
00:38:21Close to five feet.
00:38:26Are you sure?
00:38:29Come here.
00:38:29Climb up here.
00:38:40Now, I want you to lean back.
00:38:41I got you.
00:38:43Lean back.
00:38:43Chromosome is like a house.
00:38:55Each gene is a family member.
00:39:00There's jaunty, yellow, ork, vermilion, and yellow.
00:39:10Betsy.
00:39:22They all live on the X chromosome.
00:39:26What's X?
00:39:27What's X?
00:39:28Well, X is a sex chromosome.
00:39:31Two X's and you become a girl.
00:39:34An X and a Y chromosome, you become a boy, like me.
00:39:37Can I have my picture taken next to the totem pole?
00:39:40Well, sure.
00:39:43Hey, Jack.
00:39:44Yes.
00:39:45Come over here, will you?
00:39:50Come on.
00:39:52Okay.
00:39:57Thank you, Jack.
00:39:58One more.
00:40:00Sure.
00:40:02Come here.
00:40:06Now, you see that?
00:40:10Clump of bushes over there.
00:40:12Yes.
00:40:13That will be our focal point.
00:40:16What we're going to do is we're going to capture this entire scene in a photograph.
00:40:23Can you do that with Juan?
00:40:27No.
00:40:27No.
00:40:28How are we going to do that?
00:40:30I don't know.
00:40:36Take one picture.
00:40:41Move it left.
00:40:42Three degrees.
00:40:45Keep it still.
00:40:46Listen here.
00:40:57You have to be very careful.
00:40:59When you take these photos, take a deep breath in.
00:41:02Hold your breath as you snap the photo.
00:41:05Between your movements, your three degrees, then you can breathe in and out.
00:41:10Take another deep breath.
00:41:11Set your photo.
00:41:12Take the picture.
00:41:12Do you understand?
00:41:13Yes.
00:41:14Okay.
00:41:14Okay.
00:41:14Take another deep breath.
00:41:14Take another deep breath.
00:41:15Take another deep breath.
00:41:16Take another deep breath.
00:41:17Take another deep breath.
00:41:18Take another deep breath.
00:41:19Take another deep breath.
00:41:20Take another deep breath.
00:41:21Take another deep breath.
00:41:22Take another deep breath.
00:41:23Take another deep breath.
00:41:24Take another deep breath.
00:41:25Take another deep breath.
00:41:26Take another deep breath.
00:41:27Take another deep breath.
00:41:28Take another deep breath.
00:41:29Take another deep breath.
00:41:30Take another deep breath.
00:41:31Take another deep breath.
00:41:32Take another deep breath.
00:41:33Take another deep breath.
00:41:34Take another deep breath.
00:41:35Take another deep breath.
00:41:36Take another deep breath.
00:41:37Take another deep breath.
00:41:38Take another deep breath.
00:41:39Take another deep breath.
00:41:40Take another deep breath.
00:41:41Take another deep breath.
00:41:42Jack, Henry, if one of you fellows would like to tell me about the stalk of the white mutation.
00:41:54Do you need some more?
00:41:56Would you consider it a vital stalk?
00:41:58Yes, of course.
00:42:00Great. What color are their eyes?
00:42:02White.
00:42:03Sorry. What was that?
00:42:06White.
00:42:06White. That's right.
00:42:07And why are their eyes white instead of, uh, let's say, I don't know, uh, red, for example?
00:42:16Calvin, why must you be so condescending with the boy?
00:42:19Sturtz, who said I was being condescending?
00:42:23Yes?
00:42:25Recessive mutation of the white gene causes white eyes, sir.
00:42:30Who prepared this last batch?
00:42:32Uh, I did, sir.
00:42:33Jack, would you come here for a moment?
00:42:37Look through the microscope.
00:42:51What do you see?
00:42:53Uh, I see, uh, white eyes.
00:42:58Uh-huh.
00:42:59What else?
00:43:00Uh, oh, there's a, there's a red one in there, too.
00:43:09There's a red one. There's a, yes.
00:43:11Do you see what the fucking problem is, Jack?
00:43:14I, uh, I...
00:43:15Uh, what?
00:43:16I, I don't...
00:43:17They're contaminated. That's what, that's what. They're fucking contaminated, Jack.
00:43:22Let me see.
00:43:23Sturtz, go back to your desk!
00:43:27What do you want to see? You are fucking colorblind!
00:43:30What?
00:43:42You.
00:43:42Step one, we start with soap.
00:44:02We get rid of all the flies.
00:44:12What do you see? Do you see a fly? Do you see a fly?
00:44:29No, no fly sir.
00:44:31No, you don't. Step two, we place the bottle upside down, like that.
00:44:36Not right side up, upside down. Do you understand the difference?
00:44:40Yes sir.
00:44:41What is the difference? Why do we do that?
00:44:43Because of the flies.
00:44:44Because of the flies!
00:44:46Back to work, you're both fucking idiots.
00:44:50This guy is useless. This fucking child here could do better than you.
00:45:10Okay, quiet down, boys.
00:45:22Okay, quiet down, boys.
00:45:28Dr. Bridges, we wanted to apologize to you again for the mistake we made earlier.
00:45:35That's fine. It's a possibility that I overreacted a bit.
00:45:41And, um, I just wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate Ms. Bridges on her new job.
00:45:48Oh, uh, Jack.
00:45:50Yes sir?
00:45:52I know it's Friday evening, but you boys behave. Come back to us in one piece on Monday.
00:46:05Thank you, sir.
00:46:19Bessie, you have that viola virgins?
00:46:38Okay.
00:46:40Okay.
00:46:41Now that we have isolated how many?
00:46:44Fifty-five.
00:46:45Fifty-five.
00:46:46It's time to invite some boys to the party at a ratio of five to one.
00:46:53So that's about ten males.
00:46:59Now, make sure they're tapped down.
00:47:01I'm so lonely.
00:47:03What? Did you hear that?
00:47:06I'm so lonely.
00:47:09Oh.
00:47:10Sweetheart, would you hold this vial for me?
00:47:12Let's get some males here.
00:47:20And now it's time for the fruit fly dance.
00:47:30First name, Drosophila.
00:47:32Last name, Melanocaster.
00:47:35Now what?
00:47:37Well, the male stands directly in front of the female.
00:47:40Eye to eye.
00:47:47And then starts to flap his wing.
00:47:54But be careful, just one wing.
00:47:56Why only one wing?
00:47:59Why only one wing?
00:48:01Because it's sexier that way.
00:48:08Look at them.
00:48:10Those beautiful patterns and those veins.
00:48:15You hear that?
00:48:16No.
00:48:21I hear it.
00:48:22I don't know what's wrong with you, Betsy.
00:48:25My wing is flapping so fast that it vibrates.
00:48:29And then the next step happens very quickly.
00:48:32The male circles the female.
00:48:34Four times.
00:48:35Four times.
00:48:39Not five!
00:48:43Four!
00:48:46And then he grabs the female who cannot resist such a beautiful male.
00:48:51And that, my dear, is the fruit fly dance.
00:48:56Oh!
00:48:58How are you leaving already, Herman?
00:49:00My better half is calling me.
00:49:03You're gonna miss the best part.
00:49:05Well, next time.
00:49:06This one's a hot number.
00:49:07Good work, Betsy.
00:49:09Calvin.
00:49:10Good evening, Herman.
00:49:11Good evening, Herman.
00:49:12Cheers.
00:49:41Good evening.
00:49:44Put your hand on your shoulder.
00:49:46Right there.
00:49:47There you go.
00:49:48Now, step onto my feet.
00:50:00You know what?
00:50:01You're a natural.
00:50:02Let's...
00:50:03We're gonna get fancy, you know?
00:50:05There we go.
00:50:08Follow me.
00:50:11Yes.
00:50:12You are a warm dancer.
00:50:13You know what Mother said about Grandmother Bridget?
00:50:14Well, I can only imagine.
00:50:15She said...
00:50:16She lived so long because she was so mean.
00:50:18Uh-huh.
00:50:19Uh-huh.
00:50:20She raised me the best she could.
00:50:21Uh-huh.
00:50:22She raised me the best she could.
00:50:23I know what Mother said about Grandmother Bridget.
00:50:25You're a warm dancer.
00:50:26You're a warm dancer.
00:50:27You know what Mother said about Grandmother Bridget?
00:50:28Well, I can only imagine.
00:50:29She said...
00:50:30She said...
00:50:31She lived so long because she was so mean.
00:50:33Uh-huh.
00:50:34She raised me the best she could.
00:50:48The old goat lived a very hard life.
00:50:52Why?
00:50:53Why?
00:50:54Why?
00:50:55Uh...
00:50:56Well...
00:50:57She had a very mean father.
00:51:02And he didn't mind hitting her.
00:51:07Now...
00:51:12Grandma Bridget was a...
00:51:17She was an adult when she was your age.
00:51:22She was working 10, 12 hours a day at a dairy farm.
00:51:27Making her own living.
00:51:30Well, it wasn't long before she met Grandpa.
00:51:36Now, they were married when they were 14 years old.
00:51:39He was 15.
00:51:43Married already?
00:51:46Now, we can't imagine such a thing at this time, can we?
00:51:51That's right.
00:51:53It's a complicated thing, isn't it?
00:51:57So let's not hold it against Grandma.
00:52:01Were you sad not ever knowing your parents?
00:52:03Well...
00:52:06I suppose I was.
00:52:10But you know...
00:52:12I may not have known them, but...
00:52:16I knew them.
00:52:19From what they gave me.
00:52:20Why did they give you?
00:52:21Well, they gave me...
00:52:24This nose.
00:52:26They gave me these ears.
00:52:29They gave me this hair.
00:52:32Just like I gave you...
00:52:34My eyes.
00:52:36And my eyesight.
00:52:38Really?
00:52:40Oh, yeah.
00:52:41Well, it sure wasn't your mother.
00:52:42She's as blind as a bat.
00:52:44No, she isn't.
00:52:45Hey, no.
00:52:47Looks like someone also got my temper.
00:52:52You're right, though.
00:52:53Sometimes she sees right through me.
00:52:56Hey, what do you say we put these new dance steps to some use?
00:53:00Hit on the glass.
00:53:01You're right.
00:53:02I never want to take it any way.
00:53:03Give me the other hand.
00:53:05You're right.
00:53:06Give me the other hand.
00:53:08You're right.
00:53:09Give me the other hand.
00:53:10Give me the other hand.
00:53:12You're right.
00:53:13Well, that's all right.
00:53:15He's not getting enough.
00:53:17Even if I'm here.
00:53:19I'm here.
00:53:21Hey, I'm here.
00:53:23Hey.
00:53:24Hey.
00:53:25Hey, hey.
00:53:26Hey, hey.
00:53:27Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:53:28How are you?
00:54:29Eating up all the little bogeys from the ground.
00:54:34Hello!
00:54:40What's with the mustache?
00:54:43It's a costume party, Bobby.
00:54:45I know that.
00:54:47Your football jersey hardly counts as a costume.
00:54:50Oh, uh, what's the password?
00:54:57Prohibition's over.
00:54:59Haven't you heard?
00:55:00Oh, man.
00:55:03According to popular science,
00:55:05the eyes of the world's fair are on the future.
00:55:13The world of tomorrow starts tomorrow.
00:55:18I'm as happy as a king
00:55:28Feeling good to everything
00:55:30Just like a bird in the spring
00:55:33I got a little high
00:55:34Theo.
00:55:35Yes, my dear?
00:55:36I hear you're working on a new piece about memory.
00:55:38Well, it sounds fascinating, the project.
00:55:40You're enjoying the work?
00:55:42Well, you know, memory is something
00:55:44that is very fluid and dynamic.
00:55:55Theo.
00:55:55I swear that you never leave this place.
00:56:06Funny.
00:56:07It's just thinking the same thing about you.
00:56:10Betsy, have a seat.
00:56:11How was Paris?
00:56:23Marvelous.
00:56:24I'm returning in a few days.
00:56:26I just got called in on a story assignment
00:56:27for Pulp Magazine.
00:56:28Oh, you did?
00:56:31Hi, Anna.
00:56:36This is my daughter, Betsy.
00:56:39You must be bored out of your mind.
00:56:42I didn't know you had a daughter.
00:56:43Now you know.
00:56:44How old are you?
00:56:45Ten.
00:56:47Little young could be hanging out with this crowd.
00:56:50Knowing them, they might be here a while.
00:56:52She's wise beyond her years.
00:56:54Oh, really?
00:56:55They come with me.
00:56:59You two are getting along well.
00:57:00She's been in the lab all day.
00:57:04It's been an experience, I'll say that much.
00:57:09Charles, say hello.
00:57:22Um, Charlie.
00:57:24Not Charles.
00:57:31You want some?
00:57:34Come here.
00:57:34Are you smoking?
00:57:47What are you, a man?
00:57:49Look at me.
00:57:51Be good.
00:57:52You too.
00:57:55Tell me, have you been able to show that genes control our sexual desires yet?
00:57:59Uh, not yet, but I'm working on it, and as soon as I do, you will be the first to know.
00:58:04The idea is that not only your factors of genes, as you might say, affect what color your nose comes out as, or your ears, but also in the way you speak.
00:58:15Really?
00:58:15And the ideas you have, and the behavior you exhibit.
00:58:20Fascinating.
00:58:21For instance, right now.
00:58:22So what I'm doing right now is determined by my genes.
00:58:25The way you're crossing your legs, the way you're crossing your arms, is not only determined by genes, also, of course, your environment.
00:58:32The genes play an incredible factor, one.
00:58:35I'm laughing because it's so convenient for you, isn't it?
00:58:38Can I take your picture?
00:58:41Want me to take my picture?
00:58:43Sure.
00:58:44Sure.
00:58:44Take your hat off.
00:58:59What is wrong with women?
00:59:01Oh, God.
00:59:03Where do I start?
00:59:04It's not what's wrong with them, it's what's wrong with me.
00:59:07Uh-huh.
00:59:08Tell me.
00:59:09You're looking well.
00:59:10You too, dear.
00:59:11I'm glad you're back.
00:59:12You need to let me know ahead of time.
00:59:13I'm sorry.
00:59:14I just got so busy.
00:59:16That's one way to describe it.
00:59:17I've heard other stories.
00:59:18Oh, yeah.
00:59:19What have you heard?
00:59:20Well, being that we're in polite society.
00:59:23Oh.
00:59:38Genes like gene tuning?
00:59:41No.
00:59:41Genes have to do with the parts of our mothers and fathers that they pass down to us.
00:59:50Oh.
00:59:51I don't got a father.
00:59:54That's just ridiculous.
00:59:55Everyone has a father somehow.
00:59:57I mean, I don't know who my father is and mom won't tell me nothing.
01:00:02Well.
01:00:02These are chromosomes and these are genes.
01:00:19See?
01:00:20In all different shapes and sizes.
01:00:22There's them cotton balls telling about my father.
01:00:24Well, when your mother and father make you, you get half of your genes from your mother and the other half from your father.
01:00:38So?
01:00:38Even if you never knew your father, you still have his genes.
01:00:48Look.
01:00:49Your mother has light hair, so you probably got that from her.
01:00:58But your mother does not have that.
01:01:02So you probably got that dimple from your father.
01:01:04Those goofy cotton balls and stuff tell you all that?
01:01:13Well, sort of.
01:01:18Using genes, you can see part of your father looking right back at you in the mirror.
01:01:25This is from my paul.
01:01:32Mm-hmm.
01:01:38Can them bits of cotton tell me where he lives, what his name is?
01:01:42I'm not sure science has gotten that far yet.
01:01:44I'm not sure science has gotten that far yet.
01:02:04I'm not sure.
01:02:06I'm not sure science has gotten that far yet.
01:02:10Don't she mr thought
01:02:12ornate
01:02:14I
01:02:18I
01:02:24I
01:02:26I
01:02:32I
01:02:36I
01:02:40You'll have no better than me!
01:03:10You'll have no better than me!
01:03:40What do you say, Dr. Richards?
01:03:45Well, I say you're going to tire me out.
01:03:49I'm 100% mad.
01:03:52Not entirely.
01:03:58Hmm, what is this?
01:04:02A head nut?
01:04:10A head nut?
01:04:32Kids aren't supposed to smell good.
01:04:34They aren't supposed to be scientists, neither.
01:04:40They look what I found.
01:04:52Oh, that's one of my father's research notebooks.
01:04:56Full of data.
01:04:58Performance.
01:05:00Expert.
01:05:02Sleepy.
01:05:06Rough.
01:05:08Wet.
01:05:09Kelly.
01:05:10Lily.
01:05:11M.B.
01:05:12L.N.D.C.E.B.W.
01:05:13That's Ms. Wallace's initials.
01:05:14This is Edith Strong of her pupa.
01:05:16What?
01:05:17It's about being a part of your pupa.
01:05:19What?
01:05:20What?
01:05:21Mentor, what is this?
01:05:22What?
01:05:23What is the name of the pupa?
01:05:25Was it Ms. Wallace?
01:05:26That's Miss Wallace's initials.
01:05:27This is Edith Strong of her pupa.
01:05:28It's great.
01:05:29It's great.
01:05:30It's great.
01:05:31It's great.
01:05:32You ever thought, it's great.
01:05:33It's great.
01:05:34It's beautiful.
01:05:35Your chance to get away.
01:05:36To the right.
01:05:38The poor man to get away.
01:05:39Okay.
01:05:40Oh, no.
01:05:42Why not?
01:05:43Stand up on the stool.
01:06:13Take off your clothes, come on.
01:06:24There's nothing wrong with being naked if it's for art.
01:06:27It's called being nude.
01:06:36Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk.
01:06:39I ain't a chicken.
01:06:45You're a chicken.
01:06:54Well, look, I'm only going to put a little bit on the cotton.
01:07:00And I'll do it first to show you it's okay.
01:07:15You'll be nice and relaxed and happy, but not asleep.
01:07:30Do you want to know how to do the charges?
01:07:42Like this.
01:07:45Take a picture of my meconium, Charlotte.
01:07:55It's the little dark spot on my belly.
01:08:02It should be there unless I'm still a pupa.
01:08:06What are you doing?
01:08:21What would your mother say if she saw you now?
01:08:27Where's your father?
01:08:29Calvin!
01:08:30Calvin, get out here this minute!
01:08:36I'm serious this time!
01:08:44I need to do it!
01:08:57I need to do it!
01:08:58What the hell is wrong with you?
01:09:00Get out!
01:09:05Well, I guess the whole world's gone crazy.
01:09:08It's just you and me.
01:09:19I didn't want you here.
01:09:22I told your mother that I did not want you here.
01:09:25And you come into my lab and fuck everything up.
01:09:29You think I don't know?
01:09:31You think I can't sing?
01:09:33I can't sing!
01:10:03I hate you!
01:10:04I hate you too!
01:10:05I hate you too!
01:10:33I hate you too!
01:10:58I need to Misao you're I love you!
01:11:02In certain strains involving sex-linked characters,
01:11:32those females arose which could not be explained upon the ordinary mechanism of sex-linked
01:11:37inheritance.
01:11:39These females were maternal in appearance, showing those sex-linked characters which the
01:11:45mother showed, but no influence of those born by the father.
01:11:57Breeding results showed that genetically as well as somatically.
01:12:01These exceptional females were exact duplicates of their mother, and that they carried no
01:12:07sex-linked genes introduced by the father.

01:15:57Betsy?
01:15:58You should really be in bed.
01:16:05I'm okay, Agnes.
01:16:08You got the trees in the background?
01:16:34Yes.
01:16:35Not too much.
01:16:36I should be in the center of the frame.
01:16:37You're a little bit on the side.
01:16:41Well, that's okay.
01:16:42Well, that's okay.
01:16:43It makes it artistic.
01:16:44You're a little bit of aão.
01:16:46I'll see you in the middle.
01:16:51I'll see you in the middle of the picture.
01:16:52I'll see you in the middle of the church.
01:16:54I'll see you in the middle of the road.
01:16:55I'll see you in the middle of the road.
01:16:56I'm pretty sure it will be right now.
