The Last Mimzy Page #4

Ok?

You ready? Ho-Ho-Ho.

Hold on. Hold on.

Just want to see right

where you are here.

Ok.

Whoa, baby!

I think we've found your sport.

And this, ladies and gentlemen...

...is a basic outline

of the story of DNA...

And of the doctors Watson and Crick...

...who cracked the genetic code

that controls all living things.

And we now believe...

...that genes don't just

control the way we look.

But also how we think

and how we act...

...and how we feel.

So, when people mess

with mother nature...

Look out.

Because pollutants can change us.

And not just chemical

and biological ones...

Cultural ones as well.

Perfectly good DNA

becomes a bunch of useless junk...

...carried from

generation to generation.

And, uh, as a case in point

I'd like you to meet...

...a very special friend of mine.

This is Charlie.

He'd like to say hello,

he's a little shy.

How you doin'?

You don't wanna come out?

No, I think you should.

Gotcha!

Ew! Gross!

Oh, yes...

Gross, oh, that's right.

This is what happens when

you screw with the code.

And don't tell your parents

i said the word "screw".

Please.

This is what happens

when pollutants...

...contaminate DNA.

Let Charlie be a warning.

This could happen to us.

You wanna end up with two heads?

I don't think so.

This can happen to all living things...

And in fact, it may be

happening right now.

Then why don't they do something?

Why don't they stop it?

Excellent question, Wendy.

"Why don't they do something?"

"Why don't they stop it"?

Who is this "they" that

Wendys referring to...

I wonder, huh?

What do you think?

"They" is all of us.

Right?

Ok, thank you.

We'll see you on wednesday.

Keep working on your

science fair projects.

You play golf?

No. What's goin' on?

Nothing's going on, I mean...

I was bored out of my mind.

Noah! Noah, do you have a sec?

I need to talk to you about this.

Yeah.

I'm outta here, dude.

Just relax, Noah, it's ok.

It's not about the test...

It's about this.

Um... Hey, did you, uh,

did you draw this?

Yeah.

Ok. Uh, what was your inspiration?

I mean, where did you

come up with this design?

I was just scribbling.

I do it all the time.

And I've got a whole bookful.

May I?

Here are a few of 'em.

That is incredible.

My favorite one...

There's a few.

Beautiful.

Do you know what these are called?

No.

They're actually called mandalas.

- Have you ever seen one before?

- Mandalas.

No. Never...

Heard of one or seen.

Noah, would it be all right...

If I borrowed these for a little while?

Borrow all you want.

Trade you for an A.

Only kiddin'. See ya.

Sure it's not in one of the other books?

No, it's in here,

it's one of the old ones.
