MAN:
How you doing?WOMAN:
Fine. Hi, how are you?(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- Good morning.
- MAN:
Good morning.Now, I know many of you are not
that interested in Entomology 23-A.
Neither was I when I first started.
You're probably taking it because
it happens to meet the science requirement
of this great liberal arts university
a convenient time of the day.
Why they call it 23-A beats me.
I've suggested "Introduction to bugs..."
(LAUGHTER)
"Meeting the little creatures..."
Anything but Entomology 23-A.
But one thing is sure.
By the time you finish this course,
you will know that man
is just one species in this world...
In the universe...
And we're going to meet
some of the others.
Some of them are
quite spectacular in their abilities,
appearance, talents, and longevity.
We're going to meet some creatures who do
things you've never dreamed possible.
(STUDENTS MURMURING)
Really.
Well, we have to start somewhere,
so, lights...
Camera.
I offer you the ephemeroptera.
GIRL:
Hello?Who is this?
Elizabeth.

She's out right now.
Okay, thank you. I'll call back.

able to reach mother for the last four days.
I keep thinking
we're gonna hear from her.
What do you want for dessert?
Ice cream.
Maybe she's not coming back.
Sure she is, honey.
She'll be back.

she gets to school on time.
Certainly, sir.
And tell my mother
I'll call her in a couple of days.
Of course, sir.

CHARLES:
Take it easy.Sit. Stay.
Howdy. You want a room?
Yes.
That will be 7 bucks a night.
7 bucks?
Mmm-hmm.
Oh, please, cash only.
Out of 10.
I'm here looking for the Newmans.
Newman? My name's Newman.
Arthur Newman.
Oh, maybe you know my wife Margaret.
Your wife?
Margaret Newman?
Yeah.
I'm afraid not.
I'll need your name and address, Mr...
Bigelow.
Bigelow.
Well, maybe she left
before you got here.
No, I've lived here all my life.
Maybe you've got the wrong town.
I don't think that's possible.
Now, her mother just passed away...
Alma Newman.
No, I've... I know
all the Newmans in Centerville.
Uh, how long are you planning
on staying, Mr. Bigelow?
I'm just gonna look around.
I presume you don't mind.
Oh, no. No.
Is that dog staying, too?
Yes, well, uh, maybe you'd better
take the room out back.
Here you go.
And, Mr. Bigelow,
please keep that dog locked up.
(DOG GROWLING)
Oh, come on.
What's the matter with you?
(GROWLING)
Are you all right?
Listen, I got to go look around.
You stay here for awhile.
(GROWLS)
No.
Stay.
(DOG BARKS)
(GROWLS)
(CAR HORN HONKS)
Uh, let me ask you, do you know
if Alma Newman lives around here?
No, sir.
Any of you guys ever hear
of the Newmans?
Well, I hear Paul Newman
might be dropping by sometime.
(LAUGHING)
That's funny. Real funny.
Hey, Dad, we know our neighbors,
and like we said, nobody by the name
I didn't mean to break up all your fun.
