:00:01
Pregnancy and abortion and art...
:00:04
studied from a sexual standpoint,
of course.
:00:06
With the children gone,
I don't get to cook big meals anymore.
:00:09
Mac. Let's get to the point.
:00:11
This project is one of
the greatest ever undertaken...
:00:14
in connection
with the human animal.
:00:16
But without support from the Rockefeller
Foundation, it will never get off the ground.
:00:24
There are those who argue that...
:00:28
sex is largely a matter of feelings
and psychological attitudes...
:00:33
things beyond your training
as a zoologist.
:00:36
That's like saying a biochemist can't
analyze cooking because he's not a chef.
:00:41
- It's inane.
- Prok, come on.
:00:43
That is, it's really a very stupid way
of looking at things.
:00:47
One of the aims of science
is to simplify.
:00:50
The only way to study sex
with any scientific accuracy...
:00:54
is to strip away everything
but its physiological functions.
:00:58
And this team you're proposing?
:01:00
I'll need two pair of hands at least...
both with advanced degrees in science.
:01:02
And Clyde Martin, of course.
:01:04
Since you're working
in such a delicate area...
:01:07
they need to be as clean
as Fuller Brush men.
:01:10
Um...
:01:12
Door-to-door salesmen, Prok.
:01:15
I think what Dr. Gregg is saying
is that anyone involved in the project...
:01:18
needs to have motives that are entirely pure
and scientific and above reproach morally.
:01:22
- I couldn't agree more.
- Ah.
:01:25
- Now, there's one more thing.
- Mm-hmm?
:01:28
I hope you're not planning to dwell
on sexual oddities and perversions.
:01:33
Science is always interested
in the rare.
:01:36
Yes, but it's advisable
to stick to what's normal.
:01:40
You don't want to shake people up.
:01:48
Of course not.
I'm just a taxonomist... a measurer.
:01:51
I'm happy to leave
the social policies to others.
:01:54
Ah. Ah.
:01:56
Well, that all sounds good.
Very good.
