Baby Geniuses Page #5

Synopsis: Dr. Elena Kinder and Dr. Heap work for BABYCO, the world's leading manufacturer in baby products. What the public doesn't know, however, is that Dr. Kinder and Dr. Heap are secretly working on cracking the code to "baby talk" which is actually a highly sophisticated language which allows babies to communicate the knowledge of the secrets of the universe with which they are born. Problems arise when Sly, the smartest of the babies, escapes from the lab and unites the babies of the outside world to help free the babies trapped in the lab. Kinder and Heap must find Sly before it is too late.

Pancakes in the shape of a witch.

Still getting your help

from the work-release program, I see.

Give Dr. Kinder a nice big kiss.

Very nice.

I love coming to this house.

There's just something

about it that's so...

...homey.

- We were just going out.

- You were going out?

Tell me, how is Whit?

Is he talking yet?

Actually, two days ago we had

some communication in pre-language talk.

Really?

We caught it on video.

On video?

I've translated several whole sentences.

Whole sentences?

I have a wonderful idea.

Why don't we take Whit to the lab?

With your gift...

...for pre-language...

...and our technology,

I'm sure we can skip a step or two.

What?

Slow down, pal. What?

Don't do it.

What? What'd he say?

" Don't do it. "

That's ridiculous.

What are you saying?

They've got Whit.

Wait a minute.

Who's got Whit? You're Whit.

- Go on.

- Can't.

That's all I'm getting.

Isn't that amazing?

I must be running along. I have

some serious, important matters...

...that I have to attend to.

Goodbye, Whit.

Hives. She's up to something.

- What is going on with you today?

- We got to go.

You okay, sweetie?

You look a little sad.

We do have to go.

Carrie, go back with the babies.

Get me Dr. Heep

on the phone immediately.

/ don't care what he's doing.

Get him on the phone now!

Jonathan, / want two of our best men

sent down here now.

No! You idiot. No, listen to me.

Dan is beginning to understand

both of them.

And if he does, then we go to prison.

We have to have them both.

We can't switch them.

I want you to rest here

a little minute, okay?

Here we go. There you go.

Margo will be right back.

Keep an eye on that boy now.

You want to tell us about it?

Yeah, I guess so.

What now?

You have to ask? It's the power.

If this house was a dog,

we'd have it put to sleep.

Well, would you look at that.

The sun is setting in that boy's pants.

He wishes.

Nice work there, Dickie.

Real classy.

So I'm fired, right?

Fat chance. Change your shirt

and check on the babies.

A lot of Van Gogh in that kid.

His ear is still intact.

- You're weird.

- Check on the power.

You just let them take your brother?

- It didn't even bother you?

- It bothered me.

There just wasn't anything

I could do to help him.

We're tracing the power outage,

and this property may be the source.

- What can we do to help?

- We need access to your hookup.

Ray, why don't you check the basement?

I'll look upstairs.

What's going on? Who is that?

It's Elena's goons. They're after me.

Into the bedroom. Hurry up.

What's a goon?

So how long have you been

into self-mutilation?

We all need a hobby.

How many bedrooms on this floor?

- Four.

- And on the third floor?

Five.

I want you to go down, get my partner

and tell him I need a hand.

Keep an eye on the babies.

My pleasure.

Brilliant, Dickie. Why didn't you

just stuff me in a suitcase for him?

Close the door.

You must be Sylvester.

I heard about you and your karate.

I'm a black belt.

Care to try me, son?

I'd be too scared.

Now, I guess you expect me

to step over this ski...

...and you'll jump on the end,

and the end will hit me in the gonads.

I'll scream and fall down the stairs.

Is that right?

I think you've been seeing

too many bad movies, pal.

Because I'm just going

to step around the ski.

Just how stupid do you think I am?

Pretty stupid.

Gee, I bet that felt good.

What happened?

Sly kicked him right

in the forbidden zone.

What's going on?

A work-related injury.

I better go up and see what happened.

Tough guy, eh?

Well...

...you're about to meet

your worst nightmare.

Goon, that is some lame dialogue.

You really think I'm gonna

walk over that ski...

...and you're gonna jump...

...and that ski's gonna

hit me in the gonads...

...and I'm gonna scream

and make a funny face and fall?

I don't think so.

Cross your legs and smile.

You don't mess with the Sly man.

Driver! Babyco, right away.

Jonathan, I want the laboratory

stripped. Disappear. Understand?

I want bare walls.

You told me before that Whit

used to get weird feelings.

Like someone was calling him.

I think that was me.

All right, sit on the floor in a circle.

Sit on the floor? In a circle?

What part don't you understand?

Bare walls! I want this place

stripped in three hours.

Suppose he does break through?

Nobody will be able

to understand Sylvester.

Who'll believe Bobbins?

All he has to do is take Sylvester to

the hospital where the twins were born.

Would you be careful?

And ask for a handprint validation.

After that, they'll know

they've got Sly.

And my darling niece will have

the police here in less than an hour!

Bare walls! Bare walls in three hours!

- Move it!

- What are you doing? Get a move on!

What's he doing?

Dr. Kinder's not taking him

back to his parents.

I don't believe it.

Not Dr. Frankenstein, huh?

She's gonna move him tonight.

We've got to help.

They're coming.

Who's coming?

Sly and the kids.

They're coming to break us out.

- When?

- Tonight.

We could cross over at any time,

and then she wins.

Either you're with her or with us.

We're with you.

Basil, decide.

Decide now.

Let's kick butt!

He's with us.

I think we've got company.

Come on. The mind's

a terrible thing to waste.

Come on, troops. Move it.

What are we gonna do?

- We're gonna train.

- We're going on a train!

Oy vey!

Up, down, up, down...

This is pathetic.

Hut, two, three, four...

You call those jumping jacks?

More like jumping jerks.

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

Hold it!

This isn't working.

What do you expect?

We're geniuses, not ninjas.

Dig deeper, guys.

I need warriors. Now move out.

Under the net. Under the net!

What?

Move! Move! Move!

Karate.

Hopeless.

Now let's concentrate.

Okay, one at a time.

One at a time! One at a time!

This is harder than I thought.

It's my turn.

Perfect.

Absolutely perfect.

All right, we have to use

our secret weapon.

And what's that?

Duby, what is it adults fear most...

...about babies?

- Dirty diapers.

You're wrong.

They make those stupid faces

when they change our diapers.

Dirty diapers. That's funny.

It's our intelligence.

We have to use our intelligence.

That's it.

All right, everybody. Follow me.

All right, everybody. Take your places.

Move it.

Malcolm, take the flank.

Joey, over here with us.

- Sly, do I have time to go potty?

- The potty?

You're wearing the potty.

Put it on hold.

This is much more important.

Easy for you to say.

You are in my power.

You will obey my commands.

What are you trying to do?

I think grownups remember

our language in their subconscious.

If I'm right...

...I can hypnotize him.

You are in my power.

You will obey my commands.

Before I take the babies home...

...I will drive to Babyco.

Everything depends

on my driving to Babyco.

You are in my power.

You will obey my commands.

Let's see if we've really got him.

Lenny, raise your arm.

All right.

Make him stick out his tongue.
