The agency told you you had to pay
for your own uniforms, right?
(Heavy accent)
Yes, I to buy with money from job.
No, no, no. You can't start
a job without a uniform.
But how to buy when not been paid?
- You don't have any money?
- No.
This is why I take job.
To make money.
This is why I come to America.
- To be big shoot.
- Shot. Big shot.
I try not to live in past.
Only present tense since I come.
(Chuckling)
Yeah, but big shoot makes no sense.
This is the main building.
Administration, lecture rooms
and the laboratories.
It's just the floors in here.
or what's in 'em.
The research assistants feed them.
You know, they study animal behavior.
In cage,
only can behave like prisoner.
Word of advice, my man.
Try not to think so much,
and whatever you do,
don't bother the professors.
They're the real big shoots
around here.
Watch your step.
(Sighing)
This is purgatory.
I'll get the trash.
(Snoring)
What bird kind is this?
(Snorts) Huh?
The biting kind. Be careful.
(Growls)
Are you bird or dog?
What... What he's doing down here?
Paulie's an old project
for Dr. Reingold.
Didn't work out. Loss of funding
or something. I can't remember.
But he's not eat, I think,
and he lose his feather.
Come on. I'll show you
where the incinerator is.
(Singing)
(Singing continues)
(Buffer starts)
(Singing)
# I loved you
the first time I saw you
# I always will love you
# Marie #
You made me your fairy godmother.
So if I'm your fairy godmother,
I command you to go to sleep.
You gotta go to sleep, Marie.
Look, I'll be right here.
Good night, Marie. I love you, too.
OK, I'll see you in the morning.
- (Yelling)
- Hey, who are you?
What are you doing down here?
Get outta here!
Come on! Leave me alone!
And don't come back!
Virgil. First, he's singing.
Now he's talking.
Quit messing with that parrot
and get back to work
before you get us both fired.
M.A.
Hello.
"Food consists of seeds,
"nuts, bugs.
"Flocks are seen feeding
in mango trees,
"bearing ripe fruit."
(Door opens)
Mango.
Muchas gracias.
(Sighing) Let's see.
What shall I have for lunch tonight?
Now, here is some big banana,
very plump papaya...
and... some nice mango.
Oh, yes, this is a good one.
Nice and yellow on the inside.
Oh, yes,
this going to taste delirious.
You like mango, bird?
Hmm? It's very juicy...
and good for growing feathers.
Want a bite? Hmm?
Say "mango".
Mango.
Mmm. Oh, this good.
Mmm.
All right. Mango, mango, mango.
M-a-n-g-o. Mango.
Are you happy now?
(Gasps and coughs)
Oh, my God.
This is what you've reduced me to.
I've sold out for a piece of fruit.
(Gasping)
I can't believe it. You can talk?
Believe it, Tolstoy, but don't
forget the fruit, the mango.
Give it to me, you mop monkey.
- Oh.
- Bird?
(Bird) Oh, my Lord.
What your name is, bird?
Talk to me, bird.
Bird.
The, uh, skin test...
- Excuse me, you are Dr. Reingold?
- Yes, I am.
- I am Misha Belenkoff.
- Hello.
- I have to ask you about a parrot.
- Parrot?
The one in the...
down in-in-in dungeon.
Maybe is wrong word. Uh...
- There is a bird down there.
- Mm-hmm.
A green parrot.
Oh, the little conure.
Yeah. Is he still with us?
Yes, I come to tell you,
with great amazement,
he can talk.
- No, he mimics.
- Mimics? What is "mimics"?
He repeats what he hears.
He does not talk.
No, he understand.
He's intelligent, Doctor.
I know...
I appreciate your concern, Mister...
- Belenkoff.
- Belenkoff.
But, well, you see these people?
This is what they do.
