:56:02
And there you practiced...
:56:05
Comparative.
:56:08
Comparative what?
:56:12
Anatomy?
:56:14
Whose anatomies did you compare?
:56:17
Apes and humans?
:56:21
Zira, say ''yes'' ifyou mean yes.
:56:26
Yes.
:56:27
So you dissected other apes?
:56:30
Yes. When they died a natural death.
:56:36
- And humans too, of course.
- Yes.
:56:40
As they were made available.
:56:44
Available?
:56:45
The gorillas hunted them for sport,
with nets and with guns.
:56:52
The survivors were put in cages.
:56:54
The army used some ofthem
for target practice.
:56:58
We could take our scientific pick ofthe rest.
:57:01
And, in the interest of science, you dissected,
removed and statistically compared...
:57:07
Bones, muscles, tendons,
:57:10
veins, arteries, kidneys, livers, hearts,
:57:14
stomachs, reproductive organs,
nails, tongues,
:57:17
eyes, noses, nervous systems,
:57:21
the various reflexes...
:57:23
Reflexes? Ofthe dead?
:57:27
No, no. Ofthe living!
:57:31
You can't make a dead man's knee jump
:57:34
any more than you can test a corpse's
reaction to a prefrontal lobotomy!
:57:39
You mean you were advanced enough
:57:41
to perform experimental
brain surgery on living humans?
:57:45
Oh, yes!
:57:46
We even tried to stimulate
their atrophied speech centers.
:57:52
Did you try to stimulate
Colonel Taylor's speech center?
:57:55
Of course not! He could talk already.
