Baby Geniuses Page #2

I lived with her

for more than half my life.

And look how great you turned out.

Lenny?

Where are you going

with those children?

What children? These are not children.

These are plumbers.

They're gonna help me fix the sink.

Good-luck kiss.

With this house, you need more than luck.

Okay, let's get to work.

Just as you thought, our line

of expandable infant clothing...

...has elicited a tremendous

response in our first pass.

Huge numbers from the Kmart

and Wal-Mart shoppers.

That should increase our market share.

Put it in production.

Tell me of the new ones.

How many possibles?

- Eight show potential.

- Eight out of 500?

Elena, statistically, genius occurs

once in 10,000 individuals.

We expected only five geniuses

from the Pasadena Orphanage.

We've got eight.

Don't tell me how well we're doing.

Our orphanages and secret labs

are costing us 200 million a year.

The sole purpose of these orphanages is

to allow us to cull out the geniuses...

...the natural leaders.

- We'll do better.

I'll settle for a few more

like Sylvester.

Look at what that crackerjack did.

All our emphasis has been on

keeping the world out of a secret lab.

No one ever considered

the possibility of a baby escaping.

Just look at this wonderful world we've

created for our babies to grow up in.

Why would anyone

want to escape from here?

The one who did is in the work station,

no doubt planning his next escape.

Hello, Sylvester.

- What's he constructing?

- We don't know.

He builds all kinds

of extraordinary things.

For all kinds of extraordinary purposes.

Just look at that intensity.

There's no other baby like Sylvester.

Well, maybe one.

His twin, Whit?

Whit!

Mayday!

Whitley, where is helper number one?

Give me the lug wrench. Whit, hurry up.

Go! On the double!

Oh, mama!

Mama.

Listen, you monkey.

This is a monkey wrench!

Plumber's helper number one,

you're fired. Get out of town.

What is that terrible noise?

Noise to us.

But the computers analyse

every possible permutation.

What we hear as incoherent noise

may actually be a musical masterpiece.

Listen to our computer's

interpretation of Basil's playing.

That's remarkable.

It has all the complexities

of a symphony by Haydn or Beethoven.

If that's the case...

...it's possible that what we hear

as baby talk is actually conversation.

Exactly. And look at this.

A child writing on a pad, right? No.

After checking all languages...

...we found out they're writing

the cuneiform language.

They speak their own language.

They understand all others.

Now watch this.

Subject One speaks, and we

immediately see activity here...

...in the lower limbic region...
