Charly Page #3

Come in here for a minute.

Sit down, Charly.

Don't sit on Monty.

Sit down, Charly.

- Charly.

- Yeah.

Having a pet is a gift from God.

- Isn't that right, Monty?

- I don't know, Miss Apple.

Don't argue with me, young man.

I'm telling you.

This little mouse is a blessing in disguise.

First of all, a pet keeps you company.

They don't talk back.

They're loyal and loving.

They are truly man's best friend.

A little animal is one of God's creatures.

They live only to comfort you.

Now, Charly, you go right back up there,

and you make up with him.

Tell him you'll feed him...

clean his cage and give him water.

That's all he wants. That, and your love.

And in return,

he'll give you many happy hours.

Monty, why don't we give Charly...

one of your bones,

to give to the little mouse?

Would you mind?

I don't know if mice

are carnivorous or vegetarious.

Anyway, Charly, here you are.

- What are you going to call him?

- They call him Algernon.

You and Algernon are welcome down here

at any time.

Thank you, Miss Apple.

Algernon.

What do you think of that, Montgomery?

Hi, Alg.

Wanna race?

You ready, pal?

Go.

I beat you.

I beat him!

I beat him!

Professor, Dr. Straus, Miss Kinnian!

I beat him!

Charly!

Miss Kinnian, I beat him.

I was in the room... They put...

Somebody... A mouse...

I got the wrapper, and I spelt "school."

I put him, and I beat him.

I creamed him!

Miss Kinnian, what happens now?

Punctuate it.

Go ahead, punctuate it.

Now, I got something all made up for you

to punctuate.

Punctuate that.

That does not make sense.

"That, that is...

"is.

"That, that is not...

"is not."

"Is that it?"

"It is."

Student surpasses the teacher.

- Mrs. Kinnian.

- Yes.

Where's Mr. Kinnian?

He died.

Are you in love with Frank?

Tomorrow's studies.

Basic chemistry.

- Good night, Charly.

- Good night, Miss Kinnian.

This is the Capitol of the United States.

Our government is divided

into three branches.

The Executive, the Legislative,

and the Judicial.

What are the two legislative branches

of Congress called?

Turn off the teaching machine to answer.

House of Representatives and Senate.

You are looking at a film of one of

our country's most significant events.

Who are these men? Why are they here?

What did they do almost 2oo years ago,

that affects your life today?

Those men are getting ready...

to sign the Declaration of Independence,

and declare our country...

free from England.

And I'm getting ready for work.

- Hey, Charly.

- Yeah?

- You know what day it is?

- I don't know, Gimp.

We aren't keeping you awake, are we?

Is it that chick? Just won't let you alone?

- It's April Fools' Day. That's what day it is.

- His birthday.

The English Constitution.

- Hey, Gimp.

- Yeah?

- You know what a Magna Carta is?

- That's a cigar, isn't it?

Come on, Hank. I need that.

You really know all this stuff in here?

Or are you just looking at pictures?

I know some of it.

Hell, Charly, you're so smart that...

Yeah, why not. Here.

- See this machine?

- Yeah.

- You know what it is?

- It's a machine that you work.

How would you like to work it?

- Gimp, you kidding?

- What do you mean, kidding, Joey?

Man knows what the Magna Carta is.

He'd be able to operate

a simple machine like a pastry mixer.

It took you two weeks learning how.

That's a very complicated machine.

Not for Charly. Come in here closer.

Look, this is all you got to do.

Step number one.

You turn on your water. See?

Make sure the temperature

is 78 degrees, okay?

Then we come over here

and set our water pressure at 1 40 pounds.

See that, right there.

Set it back and turn on the water switch.

You got this now, right?

Now we follow our fresh water

along that line to that valve, see?

Excuse me, Joey. I wanna get up there.

We come up here...

and we open up our flour hopper.

Lets our flour down here.

You mix it with the water, okay?

Come over here.

Open up our bowl.

I want you to get a look at this dough.

Then we start up our agitator.

This stirs up the dough inside.

Okay, see it? All right.

Then we close it up.

Now comes a very important thing.

These timing switches.

Set your timing switches.

They're very important. Don't forget these.

Now, Charly, you put all this together,

and it comes out dough.

- What do you say?

- I don't know.

- Suppose he breaks it?

- Then we get the day off.

April Fools' Day.

Watch it!

Watch Charly.

- Charly, that was perfect.

- Great. I love that.

You couldn't have done better than that.

Mrs. Kinnian. Come here, quick.

There's a whole new world in it. Look at it.

- It's exciting?

- Yeah.

Let's see if you can identify...

the activity in each of these slides.

Is he in love with you?

Frank.

I'd rather not discuss my personal life,

if you don't mind.

Not that there is anything secret about it

or even unusual.

It has nothing to do

with your program of learning.

- First slide.

- I got a birthday present.

- It's not my birthday.

- It's not for you.

Algernon.

It's his birthday cheese.

What makes you think it's his birthday?

How do you know it's not?

That's true. Happy birthday, Algernon.

Happy birthday, Algernon.

It's very nice of you, Charly.

Well, he's very special.

Nice paintings. Now, Judy, what...

I painted a house.

Isn't that nice, dear?

And what is your... Mrs. Kinnian.

That's nice that you came.

Dean, would you be good enough

and go over to Cathy?

Play with the pumpkins.

You can sit down, Mrs. Kinnian.

Would you do it, Dean, please?

Thank you so much. Thanks a lot.

That's nice what you've painted, Dean.

- Look what I made.

- It's so bright.

I got your letter, Mrs. Kinnian.

I'm afraid I can't accept your reasons.

I'm holding him back.

He knows the answers and questions

before I even open the book.

- And?

- And what?

You seem tense. Is it that important

for you to resign from this project?

I gave you my reasons.

Which I must reject. You are a psychologist.

You know that Charly has made

a transference...

and at this point,

is completely dependant upon you.

He's involved with you emotionally.

That's normal, isn't it?

And you are involved with him emotionally?

Why do you ask that?

- I am engaged, you know.

- I met your fiance.

Very charming.

How long have you been engaged?

I'll stay until the convention, Doctor.

No longer.

I've got to go.

Bye-bye.

- Bye.

- Bye-bye, Mrs. Kinnian.

Faneuil Hall. Built in the early 1 7 40s...

and given to the city by the merchant

Peter Faneuil.

It burned in 1 761 but was rebuilt.

It's still in use as a market, a meeting place.

Why is it known as the Cradle of Liberty?

If we'd walked in there, say in 1 77 4...

whom might we have met

attending a meeting of protest?

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

The next stop along the Freedom Trail

is the North Church.

Built 1 723.

Boston's oldest church.

For what historic incident

is North Church known?

I'm sorry, I didn't...
