and once a month you'll bleed

from your vagina.

This may be

the wrong book.

What's important is that you're on

the verge of adulthood.

Here...

take a drink.

Ah, the rituals

of manhood.

Today you have

your first beer,

and tomorrow

we'll circumcise you.

I'm losing patience,

Dr. Strom.

Please, sir, if you could just

wait a few minutes...

I've waited long enough

for this egomaniac.

We're the board of directors.

Our time is valuable.

Not as valuable

as mine, Mr. Carlson.

You see, I have

a terminal illness.

I've been

fighting it for years,

but the disease has

ravaged my organs.

As of this moment,

I have one hour left to live.

It was on sale.

Gentlemen, if you're ready,

allow me

to show you the future.

Strom.

From the... lift it ov...

lift it over!

What the hell

is that?

An innovation...

thank you...

that will not only

save my life

but the life

of this company.

For too long we've scraped out profits

from pills and injections.

The real prize is

the total cure.

A device

that can alter DNA

and restore the body

to perfect health.

- You're crazy.

- No.

Crazy is hearing voices,

talking to cats,

dating Paula Abdul.

I'm not crazy.

I'm a visionary!

Sir.

Sir, the machine's

never been fully tested.

If something should go wrong...

- Start the machine!

- Yes, sir.

Plasma level

is steady.

Genetic modification's

at optimum levels!

Sir, the core is overheating.

- Ah!

- We have to abort!

Did it work?

I'm so sorry.

Well, well, well.

I want you to know

what a joy it will be

running this company

without you in the way.

Let go.

Let me go.

Gentlemen, I think it's time we made

some personnel changes.

No, stay away!

Oh. How long

was I asleep?

Five days.

Huh.

Wait.

Wha...

Oh, Dad.

I thought

you'd live forever.

Oh.

Breakfast, Rick!

I'll be right down!

Oh!

If I can have your attention.

We are delighted to have

as guest judge

the foremost scientist

in the world.

He's a visiting professor

at Empire City University

where he's working

with the rare element cerillium.

I am so proud to welcome

Dr. Stephen Hawking.

Thank you for that warm welcome.

I have a disease

that has paralyzed me.

I cannot walk and I use

this computer to speak.

But I am not depressed,

because I have the gift of knowledge.

That's a lie.

I think about suicide every day.

But you should all be happy

with your lives.

You can walk, talk,

wipe your own asses

and then there's

all the sex.

I haven't had sex in years.

My nurse is a lesbian,

and not the hot kind.

Hey, anyone want

to get high?

- I've got some hash with me.

- No way.

White guy

in the dreads,

you know

what I'm talking about.
