- Well, then... What do you do? | - I told you. I make miracles.

l create time.

l make clones.

Doug, sit down.

I'm a geneticist. 15 years ago | I started cloning viruses.

And then, ten years ago, | I cloned an earthworm.

- God bless you, sir. | - And then... a chimp.

And last year...

Last year...

- Hi there. | - Just in time.

- Doug is doing our new offices. | - I know Doug.

He and I went over the plans | one day. You were sailing.

Wait a minute.

- You understand my suggestion? | - Sure. What's not to understand?

- You xerox people. | - In a way.

The procedure takes about two hours. | It takes more or less two hours.

Then you have everything you need.

What is it that I need?

- Time! | - All you need. For everything.

Let's say I was interested. | What would a..?

Nothing fancy, | just a basic...

What would a basic clone job cost?

- Doctor, we're ready for you. | - Very good.

I hate to sound like a baby, | but promise me it'll be all right.

You're going to be fine. | There's nothing to worry about.

- I won't be like them. will I? | - I hope not.

Watch your head.

Lie back and put your feet | in the stirrups.

Did you see "The Fly"? Jeff Goldblum | came out with enormous eyes.

Peripheral vision is one thing, | but this is a bad look.

And he eats everything with | these little hands and everything.

Take it easy.

Well... What is that thing?

- This'll help you relax. | - So far it isn't working.

I'm sorry. My uncle went to the | dentist, and he was never the same.

I don't know if he got that | suction thing lodged in his throat.

But after that he was always, | "Hi, Doug... What's wrong?"

- Count backwards from 100. | - Sure. Like that'll work.

- Am I all right? | - You're fine.

Well? | I mean...

Is it..? Is it a boy? | I mean, did it work?

- Is that it? | - No. I'm afraid you're it.

What do you mean? | I can't be it.

- You mean. I'm the clone? | - That's right.

- No. I'm me. He must be the clone. | - No. I'm me.

- Help me out. I'm me, right? | - Look here.

- I must be me. | - Hold this.

Attaboy. | Now... look here.

- You see that? | - I see a "2".

There you go.

Wait, I remember everything.

I came in. I put this on. | I remember getting the shot.

You have all Doug's feelings and | memories right up to the cloning.

But now, when you have different | experiences, you'll diverge.

- What do I feed it? | - Feed it? What am l? A hamster?

- Sorry. I mean, it eats something. | - He's a person, just like you.

He'll get duplicate identification | here. You take care of the rest.

Now I'll leave you two alone. | You'll have a lot to talk about.

Astonishing.

- What? | - Nothing.
