Monkey Business Page #5

Come on. That's good.

Come along. Come along.

All right.

Calm down and sit there.

Let me look at you. Yes.

Well, gentlemen,

I think we've seen enough.

I'd like to consult

with Dr. Fulton alone.

Barnaby, if your formula

will have the same effect on humans...

it's the greatest thing

in modern science.

Sit down, Rudolph.

We intend to discontinue

every other product in our plant.

We'll turn out B-4

and nothing but B-4.

I'd like to offer myself

as the first human to try it.

Mr. Oxly,

that may be dangerous.

I'm perfectly willing

to take that chance.

Oh.

This isn't Rudolph.

- What?

- No, no, no.

This chimpanzee

is only six months old.

Rudolph is a male.

This is a female.

- Barnaby, are you sure?

- Reasonably.

- She's wearing Rudolph's jacket.

- But this is Esther.

Here, hold on to Esther,

will you, please?

Look, I'll prove it to you.

Now, there's Rudolph

with Esther's number on.

I suppose the janitor gave them a bath

and switched jackets by mistake.

Yes, well, I suppose

that's the way it happened.

- I certainly feel let down.

- Personally, I'm glad it happened.

You're expecting too much

from that formula...

that B-4, Mr. Oxly.

Perhaps it's the name

that's confusing you.

If you'll just let me work in

the laboratory for a couple of hours...

I'll be better able to prove

what the formula will do.

Let me know when you're ready.

And let's have no more

of these false alarms.

They certainly

take it out of a man.

Come along, Miss Laurel.

What a ridiculous way

to start a day.

I hope it doesn't get any worse.

Sodium ascipate.

3,000 milligrams.

Check.

You keep quiet, Esther.

- Ooh!

- Don't you like the way I'm doing this?

Ooh-ooh.

- Molybdenum.

- Ah.

- Sodium molybdate.

- Yeah.

Let's see.

Four-tenths each dose.

Three doses would be

1,200 milligrams, right?

Check.

Papain.

Two thousand milligrams

for the whole three doses?

Check.

Well, that about does it.

Now, Jerome, we will refrigerate

these factors and heat these.

These remain as is. We'll use

Dr. Miller's cooler and incubator.

Shall we label this

X-57 as usual?

No, X-58, and not B-4.

- Good morning.

- Oh, Gus.

Did the monkeys

take a bath this morning?

Why?

Is there one missing?

- No, no, Gus.

- Yes?

Did you bathe

the monkeys this morning?

Yes, of course. Sure.

- Well, you mixed up their uniforms.

- Oh, I did?

Oh, I'm awfully sorry, Doctor.

I'll fix them up right away.

You can do it when you

feed them this afternoon.

- But don't let it happen again.

- No, sir, I won't.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Oh, quiet down.

You've caused me

enough trouble already.

Heh! Grown-up men

playing with monkeys.

Mice, rabbits, guinea pigs.
