(0.00 / 0 votes)- Nice titties.
- Knock it off!
Maurice, not now.
- It was a compliment.
- How much longer?
- Soon, sweetie.
- Mom?
- Quiet.
- I just want to ask a question.
Why does Luke have
such nice titties?
- I said knock it off.
(father):
Enough.- Playful teasing
builds character.
Luke needs that.
Anything?!!
(cheerful music)
(narrator):
Doctors Ben Morinand Catherine O'Neal
were on a scientific journey,
which began long before
they were even born.
Ah! (father):
Hey! (boys arguing)(narrator):
Catherine O'Nealwas the only child
of two prominent physicists
who died tragically
in a helium explosion
when she was 12 years old.
She was raised
by her aunt Libby,
a prominent psychologist
and... beer aficionado.
- I think we owe them and we owe
ourselves a better country than that.
(narrator):
Ben Morin camefrom a long line of scientists,
every single one more
successful than the last.
But as a child,
Ben had no affinity
for science.
He spent most
Saturday mornings
playing point guard
with the neighbourhood kids.
You okay, son?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Sport isn't your calling, son.
- But I almost had
the rebound.
- You're a scientist through
and through. It's in your genes.
Now, come on, let's get some ice
on that noggin.
I'm okay to play.
You are better than this.
(narrator):
Ben never playedbasketball again.
- I'm not gonna tell you twice
now! Come on.
- And took his rightful place
in the family tree.
He focused on his schoolwork
and developed
a sharp scientific mind
and a healthy appetite
for success.
For years, his sex life
consisted of masturbating
to women's equestrian riding
on Sunday afternoons.
(fanfare on TV)
But he finally
found true love
when he met fellow PhD
student Catherine O'Neal.
They devoted their careers to proving
the ultimate power of nurture over nature
to finally answer
the timeless question:
Could we have been anyone
other than who we are?
- Maybe he needs some fluids, I don't know. What do you think?
- Yeah.
being university professors,
but were about to redefine
their measure of success.
(man):
For decades,my foundation has invested
in scientific endeavour
of all kind.
And the one common thread I find
with all scientists
is the fundamental belief
that they can contribute
to the advancement
of humankind.
A noble conviction.
But most of us, myself included,
make very safe choices.
Yet aren't we always inspired
by the rebels?
The ones who lay it all
on the line?
The ones throughout history who dared
to believe that the earth wasn't flat.
The Darwins, the Einsteins
who were considered crazy
we now know
to be visionaries.
These minds only come around
every couple of generations,
so it's important
for all scientists to believe
that they possess the ability
to be one of the greats.
To be one of the rebels.
As scientists, it is your duty to teach
us to see the world a different way,
and to hopefully make our world
a better place.
And so, if you feel that you're
one of those revolutionary minds
that can think outside the box,
I am standing
in front of you today
to ask you to think
outside of that box too.
Thank you.
(narrator):
Randolph P. Gertz III
was the great-grandson
of Archibald Gertz,
who built an empire exporting linen
from Belfast in the 19th century.
Despite a strict Catholic
upbringing by his mother,
Gertz was lured
by the family fortune
and enjoyed
every penny of it.
After his father's death,
Gertz challenged himself
to take charge of his life
and created the Gertz
