The Island of Dr. Moreau Page #5

God. Yes. Oh. Yes. God!

Oh. Please.

Forcefully. Forcefully.

My God!

Not so strong!

You have no idea

how strong you can be.

You must be very careful.

Father. I must talk to you.

Of course.

What?

I'm changing.

There's nothing

to be frightened of. Darling.

Now. Let me see.

Yes. There are a few changes.

Let me have a look.

Your ears are developing.

I'm hideous.

No. Darling. How can you

say that?

You're an absolute angel.

You're beautiful inside.

You're beautiful outside.

You're

an extraordinary creature.

Help me.

These small things...

are just a question

of chemical imbalances.

That's all.

No. No. Don't be upset.

I want to be like you.

Will I never be like you?

Well. I hope not!

I mean. How would you look

if you were like me?

You see?

I've made you smile.

What a surprise.

I didn't mean to startle you.

I thought I heard someone

stirring about down here.

And I thought I'd come look.

You know. I did hear you.

It's rather late. You see.

I heard...

Would you like a biscuit?

No.

I was listening to this music.

It was interesting...

Did you. Were you playing?

Well. Perhaps it was you.

Well. In any event. You see.

It reminded me

of a man named Schoenberg...

this sort of music...

I'd like to

demonstrate something...

which might interest you.

No. You can all

just. Just relax and. And...

Well. You see...

there is a sort of music

called twelve-tone music.

And it sounds...

sort of like that. You see?

But there is

another kind of music.

And there is a man

named George Gershwin...

who played this.

Lovely.

I know. My son.

Father.

I must ask a question.

Please.

What am I?

We call you Father.

Yet we are not like you.

What are we?

You are...

you are my children.

You are all my children.

You see?

Now. I think perhaps it might

be helpful...

if we could go over there.

Then we could discuss this.

And I could explain

to you exactly...

Now. Be calm. Please.

I want to tell you

something very important.

Just everyone be calm.

And just relax and be seated

if you would. Please...

because...

you see. One of

the things that...

Tell me...

why you make the pain...

if we are your children?

You see.

You are my children.

But law is necessary.

If there is no more pain...

then. Is there no more law?

Hm?

There is always law.

- Pain no more.

- Good God.

What are you doing?

To walk on all fours.

That is the law.

To slurp up our drink.

That is the law.

We are not men.

To eat flesh and fish

anytime.

That is the law!

Now I am the law.

None shall escape.

That is the law.

Is there still law?

There's still law. Yes.

How can there be law

without the Father?

He hasn't left us.
