Gordon.

What?

Gordon!

You made this?

No, no, no.

We... made this.

Lungs, heart, spine, brain...

...all your work.

All...

...impossible without you,

in fact.

Victor...

You promised me

this was all about life.

It's about more than that.

Hands off.

Three... two...

...one.

Come on, come on, come on.

Shh!

Look.

It's alive.

Yes, it's... alive.

It's alive?

Victor... how?

Can't quite move yet.

Charge lasts barely an hour,

and the bottom half

You have created life

out of nothing!

Do you realize

how significant this is?

Letter for you,

Miss Lorelei.

Letter? From who?

Dear Lorelei:

We've had a breakthrough.

Please come to

...event, the inevitability of

which we should...

...take for granted.

I will show...

...today

that life is not some...

...grace bestowed

upon us by...

...some outdated notion of

an all-powerful...

Get on with it.

Yes, of course. I'm not

accustomed to public speaking.

Igor, would you prime

the dynamo for me, please?

Yes, master.

I would like to show you,

I have a coach waiting.

Uh...

I have built this homunculus

from various body parts...

...I got from...

the London Zoo.

They've had a terrible time

with the upkeep

of their exotic animals,

He's mainly chimpanzee...

...but with the aid of

my esteemed associate,

Igor Straussman,

we've managed to interlace...

...multiple individuals,

multiple species

Igor, is it ready?

They're staring at me.

Thank you.
