Birthmarked Page #8

Synopsis: In 1976, two respected scientists, Ben Morin and his wife Catherine quit their jobs at the university to conduct an experiment they think will revolutionize our understanding of human identity. The project aims to raise three children contrarily to their genetic predispositions to prove the ultimate power of nurture over nature. They want to prove that everyone has the same potential to become anything. Maya, a newborn girl adopted from two feebleminded parents, is raised to be smart, while Maurice, a newborn boy adopted from two anger-prone parents, is raised to be a pacifist. Finally, their own biological son Luke, who comes from a long lineage of scientific brains, is raised to become a revered artist. The experiment will reveal little scientific truth, but rather lead Ben and Catherine to discover the true value of family.

This proposed decision...

- Over the years,

I became very fond

of the Morin family.

Ben is good people.

- ...Section 84-32,

subdivision...

As spring unfolded,

Luke, Maurice and Maya

requested to see

their parents.

Ben.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- If you can't get rid

of the family skeleton,

you may as well make it dance.

- Simon & Garfunkel?

- George Bernard Shaw.

Enjoy the show!

(Ben sighing)

- Okay.

(soft music)

(background chatter)

(Maya):
Why would you do that?

(indistinct chatter)

(laughter)

- Mom! Dad! I missed you.

- Hey, guys.

(crying):
Look at you.

- We're glad you're here.

- Yeah, come check it out.

(chuckling)

Wow, that's so clever.

(slow rock music)

Yesterday

Any way you made it

was just fine

So you turned your days

into nighttime

Didn't you know

You can't make it

without ever even trying

And something's on your mind

isn't it

Oh.

Let these times

Show you

That you're breaking up

the lines

Leaving all your dreams

Too far behind

Didn't you see

You can't make it

without ever even trying

And something's on your mind

Maybe another day

You'll want to feel

another way

You can't stop crying

You haven't got

a thing to say

You feel

you want to run away

There's no use trying

Anyway

I've seen

the writing on the wall

Who cannot maintain

Will always fall

Well you know

You can't make it

Without ever even trying

Something's on your mind

isn't it

United, we stand.

Divided, we fall.

(up-tempo music)

When God created a woman

for me

He must have been

in a beautiful mood

To show the world

what a woman could be

When he created

a woman like you

He made the sunshine

right out of your eyes

He made the moon glow

all over your hair

He put a soft summer breeze

in your sighs

So you could breathe summer

into the air

Oh me oh my you make me sigh

You're such

a good-looking woman

When people stop

and people stare

You know it fills my heart

with pride

You watch their eyes

they're so surprised

They think

you've fallen out of heaven

And if you listen

to what they're talking about

They're talking about

who's walking about

With an angel at his side

Up there in heaven

I bet they are mad

I bet somebody

will want to know why

The most incredible angel

they had

Was found

to be quite unable to fly

Do you know

what they had forgotten to do

Up there where they make all

those heavenly things

They made an angel

as lovely as you

But the'd forgotten

to fit you with wings

Oh me oh my you make me sigh

You're such

a good-looking woman

When people stop

and people stare

You know it fills my heart

with pride

You watch their eyes

they're so surprised

They think

you've fallen out of heaven

And if you listen

to what they're talking about

They're talking about

who's walking about

With an angel at his side

Whoa yeah

Good-looking woman

Oh oh yeah

You're such

a good-looking woman

Oh oh yeah

You're a good-looking woman

Yeah yeah

(slow Mariachi song)

(Mariachi music)
