Baby Geniuses Page #3

Synopsis: Dr. Elena Kinder and Dr. Heap work for BABYCO, the world's leading manufacturer in baby products. What the public doesn't know, however, is that Dr. Kinder and Dr. Heap are secretly working on cracking the code to "baby talk" which is actually a highly sophisticated language which allows babies to communicate the knowledge of the secrets of the universe with which they are born. Problems arise when Sly, the smartest of the babies, escapes from the lab and unites the babies of the outside world to help free the babies trapped in the lab. Kinder and Heap must find Sly before it is too late.

...while Subject Two, as he listens...

...is active in the forebrain.

These babies are having a conversation.

We just don't understand them.

The instant a child begins

to speak in any known language...

...the limbic activity ceases.

As though they forget.

Exactly. Bobbins was right.

What if the limbic activity

is not merely speech?

What if it's stored knowledge...

...from an early-parent gene pool?

Passed from generation to generation.

Amazing!

They may know

the secrets of the universe.

The greatest

breakthrough in history!

Change humanity!

If we find the key to the human mind...

...every child will be

educated in my method.

Every great mind will be ours to mold.

Let's get them all

into the amphitheatre.

Hello, my little baby geniuses.

What are we discussing today?

Could it be postmodern

ethical construction?

How about...

...the mechanics of human knowledge?

My little Sly one.

Sly, tell me...

...what are you thinking?

Come on. You can look at me.

What are you thinking?

What are you saying?

Enlighten me, my little Einstein.

What do you think?

Should I enlighten her?

She won't understand.

She doesn't speak our language.

But go ahead. Have fun.

Lead us through the wilderness,

my little warrior.

All right, all right. That does it.

Doc, if you're gonna talk

out of your ass all the time...

...maybe you should wear

a bow tie on your butt.

Bow tie? On her butt?

On her butt?

That's disgusting, Sylvester.

You know...

...you think because I don't understand

you, I don't understand what's going on.

Don't be too sure about that, honey.

Yeah, right. And don't call me honey.

Okay, Sly man, one.

Dr. Kinder, zip.

You're always busting her chops.

Are you kidding? Give me a break.

She's Darth Vader in a skirt.

Dr. Kinder's our benefactor.

Because of her,

there will be a new order...

...and we will be its leaders.

Don't have a cow, Basil.

Why do you talk like that?

Your syntax is atrocious.

It's because he watches TV all the time.

How does he do that?

He converts the monitors.

You ought to all watch TV.

Check out the real world,

like Jerry Springer.

And have fun.

This is exactly what Dr. Kinder...

...is trying to overcome.

Moral decay.

Now you sound like Heep.

Discipline, discipline, discipline.

Reward and deprive.

Give the babies a crumb. Take it away.

Like Pavlov's dogs. Hold up the bone,

the doggies salivate.

If they behave,

give them a little gristle.

If you don't like it...

...why don't you just leave?

He'll just take the next bus.

You're such a weasel, Basil.

Nice face, weasel.

You fool. Dr. Heep is watching.

Don't mess with the Sly man, Heepster.

We're back!
