00:00:30I didn't want to be like him.
00:00:47I didn't want to...
00:00:59I didn't want to be like him at all.
00:01:10He 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 town.
00:01:23It horrified me.
00:01:28It horrified me to see that dark room.
00:01:36And the light that he worked under was just a very small patch.
00:01:44I didn't want to see that dark room.
00:01:58I don't know.
00:02:28Whether it was my mother that called or someone from Columbia, I have no idea.
00:02:52I just got the message that my father had died.
00:02:58Smile.
00:03:00Good.
00:03:14Good.
00:03:16Good.
00:03:18Good.
00:03:46We're going to build all the stuff that you want to create.
00:04:06The water is on the way.
00:04:16The water is on the way.
00:04:21Oh, come on, Herman.
00:04:24I'm standing on the soft rock.
00:04:36Wow, it's lovely, great, what do we have here, 3L, this is the BTN, right, so that's
00:05:02a deficiency gap, so, the band was completely missing, right, right, but you do understand
00:05:13that essentially what this means is that it's spontaneous, there's a massive gap here,
00:05:17we actually downloaded it further too, that's fascinating.
00:05:32There are the meadows, there are the woodlands, robed in plows of blooming springs,
00:05:50Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer.
00:06:00Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer.
00:06:26Jesus is purer, the base, nor sorrowing spirit, is the end.
00:06:37Tilt up.
00:06:39Tilt the camera up.
00:06:42Betsy, I want the trees and...
00:06:44Tilt it up.
00:06:50Take off your hat.
00:06:52Hang on. I was going to take off my hat. Settle down.
00:07:10Come on.
00:07:22You've got lead feed. Come on.
00:07:52Dr. Bridges. Dr. Wilson.
00:08:06Betsy, hurry up. Come on.
00:08:17Hello.
00:08:18Hello.
00:08:19I'm Calvin Bridges' daughter, and I'm coming to visit his work.
00:08:25Oh, welcome. Come on in.
00:08:26Have you ever seen the side of a frog before?
00:08:29No.
00:08:30This is what it looks like.
00:08:31See? I just opened it up here.
00:08:33You can see what's inside.
00:08:34Betsy. Betsy, come on.
00:08:36I have to go.
00:08:37All right. Have a good day.
00:08:39You too.
00:08:39It was a pleasure meeting you.
00:08:40Pleasure.
00:08:43Enjoy your frogs.
00:08:46Dr. S.
00:08:47I wanted to find you.
00:08:48Extraordinary amount of breath of life.
00:08:51Don't touch anything.
00:08:53Don't move anything.
00:08:56I'm talking to anyone while they're working.
00:08:59And especially in your photographs in the lab.
00:09:02But that's what I brought my camera for.
00:09:04Betsy.
00:09:04Yes?
00:09:16Hello, Morgan.
00:09:17Calvin.
00:09:18Betsy.
00:09:21Hello, Professor Morgan.
00:09:22Well, hello.
00:09:22Betsy.
00:09:23Gertrude sends her thanks for helping today.
00:09:25Of course. My pleasure.
00:09:28Now, how is your dear mother?
00:09:30She has trouble walking up the stairs, and now I have to carry Nate.
00:09:36Morning, Dr. Bridges. So nice of you to join us.
00:09:42Who is mapping the first chromosome, Dr. Sturdivant?
00:09:45Will it be ready by the end of 1927?
00:09:48That all depends on whether you get me the most recent recombination frequency numbers, Dr. Bridges.
00:09:53So kinder.
00:09:58This one's got a funny little right wing.
00:10:01One of yours, Herman.
00:10:03I believe I would call it, I want, after Igor.
00:10:08What do you think?
00:10:09You see, it starts as an egg, and then it becomes a larva,
00:10:14and then finally a pupa, and then of course once again the adult flock.
00:10:23I want some time.
00:10:24I want some time.
00:10:25Oh, that's, we're okay.
00:10:26No harm.
00:10:27I want some time.
00:10:28I want some time.
00:10:29Oh, that's, we're okay.
00:10:30No harm.
00:10:31Now, I have something that I'm quite sure will interest you.
00:10:32I want some time.
00:10:33I want some time.
00:10:34I want some time.
00:10:35I want some time.
00:10:36Oh, that's, we're okay.
00:10:37No harm.
00:10:38Now, I have something that I'm quite sure will interest you.
00:10:41You have to sit there.
00:10:42I think you're going to really like this.
00:10:43Madame and Monsieur.
00:10:44I want some time.
00:10:45I want some time.
00:10:46I want some time.
00:10:47I want some time.
00:10:48I want some time.
00:10:49Oh, that's, we're okay.
00:10:50Right here.
00:10:51No harm.
00:10:52Now, I have something that I'm quite sure will interest you.
00:10:57You have to sit there.
00:10:58I think you're going to really like this.
00:11:02Madame and Monsieur, the Paradis.
00:11:32Come in, please.
00:11:55Uh, Edith.
00:11:56Betsy, I'd like you to meet Miss Wallace.
00:11:59Come with me, dear.
00:12:00Do we need a number on this?
00:12:02Does it matter?
00:12:03Probably not.
00:12:04T1.
00:12:05That was mine.
00:12:06Oh, terrific.
00:12:07Want to go inside?
00:12:08It's one of mine.
00:12:13Did you make all these drawings?
00:12:15They're very good.
00:12:18May I have some paper, please?
00:12:31Of course.
00:12:32That's very beautiful.
00:12:37Very, very beautiful.
00:12:38There you are.
00:12:58What's that?
00:12:59That is The Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci.
00:13:04But he's naked.
00:13:05No.
00:13:06He's not naked.
00:13:08He's nude.
00:13:10And there's nothing wrong with a naked body in the context of great art.
00:13:16Have you ever seen a naked man, Miss Wallace?
00:13:20You?
00:13:21I've only ever seen my brothers naked.
00:13:25They look very silly without clothes.
00:13:27Not bad, Calvin.
00:13:28One of these days, that file was ready.
00:13:29That's so funny.
00:13:30Miss Wallace?
00:13:31Yes?
00:13:32How do you make the eyes on the flies look real?
00:13:33Well, inside the fly eyes are hundreds of repeating shapes.
00:13:37You may want to color in those shapes, different shades of red.
00:13:40So, one of these days, that file was ready.
00:13:42I'm not bad, Calvin.
00:13:43I'm not bad, Calvin.
00:13:44One of these days, that file was ready.
00:13:46That's so funny.
00:13:47I'm not sure it's funny.
00:13:48I'm not sure it's funny.
00:13:49I'm not sure it's funny.
00:13:50Miss Wallace?
00:13:51Yes?
00:13:52How do you make the eyes on the flies look real?
00:13:56Well, inside the fly eyes are hundreds of repeating shapes.
00:14:02And you may want to color in those shapes,
00:14:05different shades of red.
00:14:07Well, of course, going around the banana.
00:14:11Can I tell you about the...
00:14:14Canton and Strain?
00:14:18How I named it?
00:14:20No, not quite.
00:14:22You know, I captured that Strain in Canton, Ohio.
00:14:25Hence the name.
00:14:26Guess what the S is for?
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...
00:14:46I like red.
00:14:48Red is a beautiful color.
00:14:50And while I was waiting, they had both, they served to their guest, there was three bananas.
00:15:02And surrounding the bananas were these wild flies, the Cantonese.
00:15:06Well, this excited me.
00:15:08I 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.
00:15:17The flies.
00:15:18The flies.
00:15:19The flies.
00:15:20The flies.
00:15:22No.
00:15:23Oh no.
00:15:24I missed you.

00:16:48This is Betsy, Betsy Meredith, and that's baby Edward over there.
00:17:03What have we there, baby Edward?
00:17:07A good smile, anyway.
00:17:10It just looks wonderful, really.
00:17:12Have we eaten yet?
00:17:14We have not eaten. Well, 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. Here it comes.
00:17:22Wow.
00:17:23Oh, this is mine.
00:17:26You did that right, huh?
00:17:29Okay.
00:17:30Well, we're gonna have a...
00:17:46you think, Dani?
00:17:47We're young and right now.
00:17:56We're young and right now.
00:18:01What are you thinking about?
00:18:19Listening to the cicadas.
00:18:22What were you doing 17 years ago?
00:18:26I'm not thinking that I would come up for four weeks
00:18:30to the surface of the earth and then pass away.
00:18:34Could you spend 17 years underground?
00:18:39I think perhaps I already have.
00:19:0010 years old.
00:19:1423 years old.
00:19:18Mutations can either be mistakes or they can lead to improvements in how the body works.
00:19:35Look at the earthworms that I found at the park today.
00:19:38Oh my, aren't they beautiful?
00:19:41Yes, I'm going to give them some dirt to eat.
00:19:44And do they have names?
00:19:46Yes, that's Billy, Barbara, and Buster.
00:19:48They're very beautiful creatures.
00:19:50Yes.
00:19:52Does anyone study earthworms like you study flies?
00:19:59Well, one can study mutations in insects.
00:20:03Barbara!
00:20:04Earthworms, humans, plants, trees, really anything.
00:20:12Could you get Billy off of my drawing, please?
00:20:14I'm sorry.
00:20:15Thank you so much.
00:20:16It'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.
00:20:32One day.
00:20:33One day.
00:20:33A scientist.
00:20:34Yeah.
00:20:36Oh.
00:20:38This one's had a rough night.
00:20:40What's wrong with it?
00:20:42Don't tempt fate, Herman.
00:20:49Say hello there.
00:20:50Hello, Mr. Mueller.
00:20:53How are you, Betsy?
00:20:54Good.
00:20:55Good.
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 you, like Mother said.
00:21:06That's my desk.
00:21:08Go back with Edith.
00:21:12That's not what Mother said I should do.
00:21:16Well, your mother's not here, is she?
00:21:18Go back to Edith.
00:21:19I'm going to tell her what you said.
00:21:34Quite an unruly child.
00:21:36Be careful, Stur.
00:21:37She'll take your job.
00:21:39Ninety-one.
00:21:45I'm getting no females in this batch.
00:21:49After tomorrow, I want to hear nothing more about you.
00:22:06Why?
00:22:07What?
00:22:08Go to sleep.
00:22:32I love you, Mom.
00:22:35I love you, sweetie.
00:22:38God bless you.
00:22:51What does it matter if I have a story?
00:22:54What?
00:22:54You have to help me on this one.
00:22:57The doctor said not to me.
00:22:58I have to stay here.
00:22:59She wants to play.
00:23:00She wants to get ahead of things.
00:23:02She's not going to have to take her again and show me.
00:23:04There 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.
00:23:15God bless you.
00:23:20A questress of God
00:23:26has.
00:23:27Oh.
00:23:32Life is pretty happy.
00:23:33mamy.
00:23:34Ch Wars.
00:23:34Cove HY.
00:23:35Bye 있게.
00:23:36Bye.
00:23:36Bye.
00:23:37Bye.
00:23:38Bye-bye.
00:23:38Bye.
00:23:39Bye.
00:23:39Bye.
00:23:40Bye-bye.
00:23:41Bye-bye.
00:23:42Bye-bye.
00:23:43Bye-bye.
00:23:43Bye.
00:23:44You 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?
00:24:09Oh, endless supply.
00:24:10Endless.
00:24:11Can I help you?
00:24:12This is no task for a fine lady like yourself.
00:24:17I don't mind.
00:24:19Okay, well, you need this.
00:24:22There you go.
00:24:24Oh.
00:24:26A lot of fun, right?
00:24:28You know, your father actually signed a new type of bottle.
00:24:31Square bottom prevents it from rattling around in the crates when we transport them.
00:24:35He also invented an improved fly food recipe that doesn't spoil us quickly.
00:24:41But he doesn't want to share it with the rest of us.
00:24:45I told you, Herman.
00:24:47The secret is molasses.
00:24:50And so...
00:24:51Oh, I'm sorry.
00:24:52I just ripped over here.
00:24:55And I'm done.
00:24:56And faster than you.
00:24:58Oh, but less thorough.
00:24:59And that's where the real artistry of this job lies, young Betsy.
00:25:03So this yellow fly here has long hair on its back.
00:25:28Antennae, as long as its face.
00:25:32And also long eyelashes.
00:25:34And white eyes.
00:25:36We call this fly sternoplural.
00:25:40Doesn't it look like your father?
00:25:43Yes, it does look a bit like him.
00:25:45Mm-hmm.
00:25:46And the smaller version of the same fly would be you.
00:25:54I don't look anything like him.
00:25:56I look like my mother.
00:26:01Mueller.
00:26:02What's the latest on the sex ratios of the last cross?
00:26:05About three to one ratio, male to female.
00:26:13I counted 321 males to 96 females.
00:26:21Mr. Mueller.
00:26:23Hmm?
00:26:24I'd marry you when I grow up, probably.
00:26:27Though you already have a wife.
00:26:28Well, if I didn't have a wife, I think I would accept.
00:26:46Are you taking pictures?
00:26:49Yes.
00:26:51Um, perhaps maybe you can get my left side.
00:26:54I seem to prefer it over my right.
00:26:58I think you look fine either way.
00:27:03Well, thank you.
00:27:06Smile.
00:27:07I'm smiling.
00:27:11Both sides.
00:27:19What are you doing?
00:27:24Well,
00:27:25I'm calculating crossing over frequencies
00:27:29to determine the distance between genes on a chromosome.
00:27:33Can 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.
00:27:45Miss 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.
00:27:57Why do you have two hands?
00:27:59Why are your eyes blue?
00:28:00Why 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
00:28:08is exactly what we're trying to study right now.
00:28:11Can 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.
00:28:27Why don't you go and ask your father
00:28:28about his totem pole?
00:28:29Why don't you show me earlier?
00:28:36Yes.
00:28:36I was looking at it.
00:28:39This is the Bithorax mutant.
00:28:42It's quite amazing.
00:28:43A second pair of wings,
00:28:44a second stomach,
00:28:46and completely duplicated thoracic features.
00:28:48I've never noticed that the duplication
00:28:50of the second thoracic segment
00:28:51led to a loss of the whole view.
00:28:53The Bithorax mutant.
00:29:23It's going to be wild tonight.
00:29:34It's going to be wild tonight.
00:29:34It's going to be wild tonight.
00:29:53It's going to be wild tonight.
00:31:05Yes, they are.
00:31:12Is it caused by a mutation?
00:31:17Well, yes, it is.
00:31:21During development, there is 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.
00:34:10But 1,500 from BPR recombination is low.
00:34:14So lots of variability.
00:34:17Since you have Ho known mutant in the last end of 2,
00:34:20that resembles Ho probably a new locus.
00:34:241,500,000
00:34:25But 2,500,000
00:34:28littlefred,000
00:34:29So all of you guys,
00:34:30Yes?
00:34:40So all of you guys will.
00:34:41Sweetie, 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.
00:35:09How long?
00:35:12Possibly eternity.
00:35:14Um, here's what you do.
00:35:19A 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.
00:35:39On 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 Paley, this 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.
00:36:16Well, we like to call it the totem pole.
00:36:18Herman, I found a virgin.
00:36:20Betsy, enough chatter.
00:36:21All right.
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, and 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, but 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?
00:37:13Yeah, 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, without 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.
00:37:49Edith?
00:37:55Yes.
00:37:56I 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.
00:38:35Climb up here.
00:38:36Now, I want you to lean back.
00:38:41I got you.
00:38:43Lean back.
00:38:52Chromosome is like a house.
00:38:55Each gene is a family member.
00:38:58There's jauntie, yellow, forked, vermilion, and Betsy.
00:39:19They all live on the X chromosome.
00:39:25What'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.
00:39:33An X and a Y chromosome, you become a boy, like me.
00:39:37Can I have my picture taken next to the totem pole?
00:39:41Sure.
00:39:43Hey, Jack.
00:39:44Yes?
00:39:45Come over here, will you?
00:39:50Come on.
00:39:50Thank you, Jack.
00:39:58Hey, one more.
00:39:59Sure.
00:40:02Come here.
00:40:06Now, you see that clump of bushes over there?
00:40:12Yes.
00:40:12That 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?
00:40:32I don't know.
00:40:33Take one picture.
00:40:41Move it left.
00:40:42Three degrees.
00:40:45Keep it still.
00:40:54Listen here.
00:40:55You 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.
00:41:25Jack.
00:41:47Henry.
00:41:48Yes, sir?
00:41:49If one of you fellows would like to tell me about the stalk of the wife 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.
00:42:01What color are their eyes?
00:42:02White.
00:42:03Sorry.
00:42:05What was that?
00:42:06White.
00:42:06White.
00:42:07That's right.
00:42:09And why are their eyes white instead of, let's say, I don't know, 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?
00:42:23Recessive mutation of the white gene causes white eyes, sir.
00:42:30Who prepared this last batch?
00:42:32I did, sir.
00:42:33Jack.
00:42:35What did you come here for, Mama?
00:42:36Look through the microscope.
00:42:51What do you see?
00:42:52Uh, I see, uh, uh, white eyes.
00:42:57Uh-huh.
00:42:59What else?
00:43:04Uh, oh, there's a, there's a red one in there, too.
00:43:09There's a red one.
00:43:10There'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.
00:43:18That'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?
00:43:28You are fucking colorblind!
00:43:30You.
00:43:49Step one, we start with soap.
00:43:54We get rid of all the flies.
00:44:24What do you see?
00:44:27Do you see a fly?
00:44:28Do you see a fly?
00:44:29No.
00:44:30No fly, sir.
00:44:31No, you don't.
00:44:32Step two, we place the bottle upside down.
00:44:35Like that.
00:44:36Not right side up.
00:44:38Upside down.
00:44:39Do you understand the difference?
00:44:40Yes, sir.
00:44:41What is the difference?
00:44:42Why 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.
00:44:49This guy is useless.
00:44:52This fucking child here could do better than you.
00:45:22Okay, quiet down, boys.
00:45:35Dr. Bridges, we wanted to apologize to you again for the mistake we made earlier.
00:45:48That's fine.
00:45:49It's a possibility that I overreacted a bit.
00:45:54And, um, I just wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate Ms. Bridges on her new job.
00:46:06Oh, uh, Jack.
00:46:08Yes, sir?
00:46:11I know it's Friday evening.
00:46:13But you boys behave.
00:46:15Come back to us in one piece on Monday.
00:46:18Thank you, sir.
00:46:30Yes, sir.
00:46:34Bessie.
00:46:35Do you have that vile of urgence?
00:46:37Okay.
00:46:40Now that we have isolated...
00:46:43How many?
00:46:44Fifty-five.
00:46:45Fifty-five.
00:46:47It's time to invite some boys to the party at a ratio of five to one.
00:46:53one. So that's about ten mails. Now, make sure they're tapped down.
00:47:02I'm so lonely!
00:47:05What? Did you hear that?
00:47:08I'm so lonely!
00:47:10Oh, sweetheart, would you hold this file for me? Let's get some mails here.
00:47:16And now it's time for the fruit fly dance.
00:47:30First name, Drosophila. Last name, Melanocaster.
00:47:35Now what?
00:47:37Well, the male stands directly in front of the female, eye to eye.
00:47:46And then starts to flap his wing.
00:47:54But be careful, just one wing.
00:47:59Why only one wing?
00:48:01Because it's sexier that way.
00:48:08Look at them. Those beautiful patterns and those veins.
00:48:14You hear that?
00:48:19No.
00:48:21I hear it.
00:48:22I don't know what's wrong with you, Betsy.
00:48:24My wing is flapping so fast that it vibrates.
00:48:29And then the next step happens very quickly.
00:48:31The male circles the female.
00:48:34Four times.
00:48:39Not five!
00:48:40Four!
00:48:43Four!
00:48:46And then he grabs the female, who cannot resist such a beautiful male.
00:48:55And that, my dear, is the fruit fly dance.
00:48:59Oh!
00:49:11How are you leaving already, Herman?
00:49:13My better half is calling me.
00:49:16You're gonna miss the best part.
00:49:18Well, next time.
00:49:20This one's a hot number.
00:49:21Good work, Betsy.
00:49:24Calvin.
00:49:25Good evening, Herman.
00:49:26Tschüss!
00:49:44Put your hand on your shoulder.
00:49:46Right there.
00:49:48Now, step onto my feet.
00:49:50You know what?
00:49:51You are a natural.
00:49:52Let's...
00:49:53We're gonna get fancy, you know, never?
00:49:55Here we go.
00:49:56Follow me.
00:49:59You know what? You're a natural. Let's... we're gonna get fancy, don't you ever?
00:50:05Here we go.
00:50:08Pardon me.
00:50:16Yes!
00:50:19You are a warm dancer.
00:50:22You know what Mother said about Grandmother Bridget?
00:50:27Well, I can only imagine.
00:50:30She said she lived so long because she was so mean.
00:50:35Uh-huh.
00:50:46She raised me the best she could.
00:50:50The old goat lived a very hard life.
00:50:53Why?
00:50:55Uh...
00:50:59Well...
00:51:02She had a very mean father.
00:51:07And he didn't mind hitting her.
00:51:12Now...
00:51:16Grandma Bridget was a...
00:51:18She 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...
00:51:33She met Grandpa.
00:51:36Now, they were married when they were 14 years old.
00:51:38He was 15.
00:51:43Married already.
00:51:47Now, 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?
00:51:55So, let's not hold it against Grandma.
00:52:00Were you sad not ever knowing your parents?
00:52:04Well...
00:52:06I suppose I was.
00:52:10But, you know...
00:52:11I may not have known them, but...
00:52:16I knew them.
00:52:18From what they gave me.
00:52:20What did they give you?
00:52:22Well, they gave me...
00:52:24This nose.
00:52:26They gave me these ears.
00:52:28They gave me this hair.
00:52:30Just like I gave you...
00:52:33My eyes.
00:52:35And my eyesight.
00:52:37Really?
00:52:39Oh, 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, now.
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.
00:52:57What do you say we put these new dance steps to some years?
00:52:59We put these new dance steps to some use.
00:53:29It's very nice.
00:53:31I know.
00:53:33I can do it.
00:53:34What are you doing?
00:53:36I can do it.
00:53:37It's the most beautiful man.
00:53:38I have to wait for you.
00:53:41This lady.
00:53:43I am at the time.
00:53:44You're right.
00:53:45I don't know.
00:53:47You're right.
00:53:49You're right.
00:53:50You're right.
00:53:52You're right.
00:53:54You're right.
00:53:55I am Canal Batro!
00:54:23flying through the sky, eating up all the little bogies from the ground.
00:54:34Hello!
00:54:40What's with the mustache?
00:54:42It's a costume party, Bobby.
00:54:45I know that.
00:54:47Your football jersey hardly counts as a costume.
00:54:51Oh, uh, what's the password?
00:54:56Prohibition's over. Haven't you heard?
00:55:00Oh, man.
00:55:03According to popular science, the eyes of the world's fair are on the future.
00:55:13The world of tomorrow starts tomorrow.
00:55:21I'm as happy as a king, feeling good to everything.
00:55:30Just like a bird in a spring.
00:55:33Theo.
00:55:34Yes, my dear?
00:55:35I hear you're working on a new piece about memory.
00:55:37Well, it sounds fascinating, the project.
00:55:39You're enjoying the work?
00:55:41Well, you know, memory is something that is very fluid and dynamic.
00:55:54Theo.
00:55:55Juna.
00:55:56It's my daughter, Betsy.
00:55:58Betsy, Juna, Theo.
00:56:00Hello.
00:56:01I would swear that you never leave this place.
00:56:06Funny.
00:56:07I was just thinking the same thing about you.
00:56:09Betsy, have a seat.
00:56:21How was Paris?
00:56:22Marvelous.
00:56:23I'm returning in a few days.
00:56:25I just got called in on a story assignment for Pulp Magazine.
00:56:28Oh, you did?
00:56:31Hi, Anna.
00:56:34Get over here.
00:56:37This is my daughter, Betsy.
00:56:39You must be bored out of your mind.
00:56:41I didn't know you had a daughter.
00:56:42Now you know.
00:56:43How old are you?
00:56:44Ten.
00:56:45Little young could be hanging out with this crowd.
00:56:49Knowing them, they might be here a while.
00:56:52She's wise beyond her years.
00:56:53Oh, really?
00:56:54They come with me.
00:56:58You 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.
00:57:15Charles, say hello.
00:57:21Anna.
00:57:22Charlie.
00:57:23Not Charles.
00:57:31You want some?
00:57:34Come here.
00:57:39Whatever.
00:57:46Are 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.
00:58:00But I'm working on it.
00:58:01And as soon as I do, Swisher, you will be the first to know.
00:58:04The idea is that not only your factors of genes, as you might say,
00:58:09affect what color your nose comes out as, your ears, but also in the way you speak.
00:58:14Really?
00:58:15And the ideas you have, and the behavior you exhibit.
00:58:19Fascinating.
00:58:20For instance, right now.
00:58:22So what I'm doing right now is determined by my genes.
00:58:24The way you're crossing your legs, the way you're crossing your arms,
00:58:27is not only determined by genes, also, of course, your environment.
00:58:31But 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?
00:58:40You want to take my picture?
00:58:41Sure.
00:58:51Take your hat off.
00:58:52Take your hat off.
00:58:58What 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.
00:59:06Uh-huh.
00:59:08Tell me.
00:59:09You're looking well.
00:59:10Thank you. You too, dear.
00:59:11I'm glad you're back. You need to let me know ahead of time.
00:59:13I'm sorry. I just got so busy.
00:59:15That's one way to describe it. I've heard other stories.
00:59:18Oh, yeah. What have you heard?
00:59:20Well, being that we're in polite society.
00:59:22Jean's like Jean Tooney?
00:59:23No.
00:59:24Jean's have to do with the parts of our mothers and fathers that they pass down to us.
00:59:32Oh.
00:59:33I don't got a father.
00:59:35That's just ridiculous. Everyone has a father somehow.
00:59:39No. Genes have to do with the parts of our mothers and fathers that they pass down to us.
00:59:48Oh. I don't got a father.
00:59:53That's just ridiculous. Everyone has a father somehow.
00:59:57I mean, I don't know who my father is and Mom won't tell me nothing.
01:00:01Well, these are chromosomes and these are genes.
01:00:18See, in all different shapes and sizes.
01:00:21There's them cotton balls telling about my father.
01:00:24Well, when your mother and father make you,
01:00:30you get half of your genes from your mother and the other half from your father.
01:00:37So?
01:00:39So...
01:00:43Even if you never knew your father, you still have his genes.
01:00:48Look.
01:00:54Your mother has light hair, so you probably got that from her.
01:00:57But your mother does not have that.
01:01:01So you probably got that dimple from your father.
01:01:07Those goofy cotton balls and stuff tell you all that?
01:01:12Well, sort of.
01:01:14So...
01:01:15Using genes, you can see part of your father looking right back at you in the mirror.
01:01:21This is from a call.
01:01:23Mm-hmm.
01:01:24in the mirror.
01:01:30This is from a call.
01:01:38Can them bits of cotton tell me where he lives, what his name is?
01:01:41I'm not sure science has gotten that far yet.
01:01:54Can them bits of cotton tell me?
01:02:04In the environment.
01:02:07I can see you in the air.
01:02:17Love, love, love to you
01:02:38My baby, my baby, you're a little bit of a thing.
01:03:08My baby, my baby, you're a little bit.
01:03:38What do you say, Dr. Richards?
01:03:45Well, I say you're going to tire me out.
01:03:48I'm 100% mad.
01:03:51Not entirely.
01:03:53What is this?
01:03:59I had nothing.
01:04:06What do you say, Dr. Richards?
01:04:21I'm 100% mad.
01:04:24I'm 100% mad.
01:04:28I'm 100% mad.
01:04:30I'm 100% mad.
01:04:33I'm 100% mad at all.
01:04:35I'm 100% mad at all.
01:04:36You're a little too bad.
01:04:38Hey, look what I found.
01:04:54Oh, that's one of my father's research notebooks.
01:04:57Full of data.

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.
01:07:26Do you want to know how to do the changes?

01:07:43Take a picture of my meconium, Charlotte.
01:08:00It's the little dark spot on my belly.
01:08:03It should be there unless I'm still a pupa.
01:08:13What are you doing?
01:08:20What would your mother say if she saw you now?
01:08:26Where's your father?
01:08:29Where?

01:09:00Get out.
01:09:01Well, 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.
01:09:28You think I don't know?
01:09:31You think I can't sing?

01:11:04In certain strains involving sex-linked characters, females arose,
01:11:33which could not be explained upon the ordinary mechanism of sex-linked inheritance.
01:11:38These females were maternal in appearance, showing those sex-linked characters which the mother showed,
01:11:46but no influence of those born by the father.
01:11:56Breeding results showed that genetically as well as somatically,
01:12:00these exceptional females were exact duplicates of their mother,
01:12:05in that they carried no sex-linked genes introduced by the father.
01:12:10Daddy!

01:16:39You're a little bit on the side.
01:16:42Well, that's okay.
