Do you have any, uh...

gin?

Gin?

Sure.

Gin on the rocks.

Um...

gin.

Tangueray, | if you got it.

O. K.

Can I use | your bathroom?

[Gargling]

[Door Opens]

[Squeak]

[Car Engine]

[Door Closes]

[Engine Starts]

How'd it go?

Great.

He just | wanted to talk.

Oh, you should've | seen his stereo.

I bet | it's worth thousands.

[Rarrr]

Oh!

Pay attention.

Number six.

I've got to | talk to you.

I've got to | tell you something.

About four hours later, | they started to leave.

Whatever had happened

had stopped happening.

And then, | when I was cleaning up,

I found this | in some milk.

Milk.

You get it?

I mean, | cats like milk.

Yeah?

Well, the Gypsy said | when you speak, right?

So, maybe it has something | to do with sound.

I mean, after all, | you scratch a blackboard,

and it drives you | up the wall.

Maybe there's | a sound that...

you know, drives you up | another wall.

You don't | believe me?

No. I'd... I'd like | to believe you.

What do you | want from me?

Now, | are... are you sure?

Are you | absolutely positive?

I'm positive.

Nothing to worry about.

It's a... | It's a salt.

It's a condensed | liquid salt.

You want me | to take it?

No.

O. K.

[Aah-Aah-Aah-Aah]

[Aah-Aah-Aah]

Didn't sound | unusual to me.

How'd it sound | to you?

Well, I... I mean, | I... I wouldn't know.

Is that an unusual sound | for a chimp?

No.

[Crash]

That... That's Romeo.

He's trying to break | through the wall!

What's he | trying to do?

[Banging]

He's breaking | through the wall!

No, no, no. Don't.

He'll rip | your arm off.

Don't. Don't.

Well, I...

[Banging]

Is he dead?

No.

He's asleep.

After weeks of testing,

we discovered | how it works.

When swallowed, it affects | the vocal cords directly,

so when you speak,

microtremors encoded | within your voice

stimulate | tiny little hairs

in the inner ear | of the opposite sex.

The vibration sends | a signal to the brain,

which, in turn, | produces a combination

of mood-altering | endogenous chemicals

responsible for | the biochemical process

of feeling in love.

We also discovered | that, one...

It made members | of the same sex hostile.

Two...

It had to be diluted.

Full strength | was far too strong.

And three...

It would only work | for four hours at a time.

The next logical step | was to test it on humans,

but who?

We felt a deep | moral obligation to mankind

to make sure this | potentially dangerous drug

didn't fall into | the wrong hands,

but where could we find | test subjects we could trust?

Th-this is | scientifcally unorthodox,

but...
