:03:08
- Barnaby, are you thinking?
- Hm?
:03:11
Oh. Yeah. Yeah.
:03:13
It´s pretty dark in here, isn´t it?
:03:17
- Oh, that´s better.
- What are you thinking about?
:03:21
Oh, it´s the tests we made in the lab today.
:03:23
They prove that only 23%
ofthe formula is being assimilated.
:03:27
- Oh, the formula.
- Well, you know what that means.
:03:30
That means that 73% is absolute waste.
:03:34
- 73? What happened to the rest of it?
- No. No, no.
:03:36
Not 73. 77. What did I say?
:03:39
- 77.
- Oh.
:03:42
I guess that´s why it has so little effect on
the chimpanzees we´re experimenting with.
:03:46
We´ve been giving it to them
for over two months now.
:03:49
It certainly hasn´t done
what it should have done.
:03:53
- I thought it was doing rather well.
- No, no.
:03:57
No, that´s the trouble. It isn´t doing well at all.
:04:00
What about that one monkey
you told me about?
:04:02
- Oh, you mean Rudolph.
- He´s pretty old, isn´t he?
:04:05
Well, Rudolph´s about, uh,
the equivalent of 84 years old in a human.
:04:09
Didn´t the formula cure his rheumatism?
Didn´t it make his coat much glossier?
:04:13
- Didn´t you say he felt better?
- In a way.
:04:16
- Well, then, what do you expect?
- It isn´t what it should be, Edwina.
:04:19
What must it be before
you´re satisfied with it?
:04:22
Theoretically, it should have
a much greater effect.
:04:25
I´ve just got to find a way
to make it more easily assimilable.
:04:28
- Huh?
- ´´Assimilable´´?
:04:30
- More easily ´´assimilated´´.
- Oh, yeah.
:04:34
I thought I had a good idea
at the front door just now.
:04:37
I guess I just thought I had.
Anyway, it´s gone.
:04:39
- Well, it´ll come back to you.
- I doubt it.
:04:42
- It´ll come back to you.
- That´s the trouble about being a chemist.
:04:46
You know, you can´t actually think.
:04:48
You feel compelled to stare at a sheet
of white paper hoping it´ll speak to you,
:04:52
but it never does.
:04:56
Oh!
:04:57
- Is that a new dress?
- Mm-hm.
:04:59
Oh, I like that. Let me see it.
