drug while she's pregnant?

Who says we need a woman?

What are you talking about?

The experiment wouldn't have

to identify the subject's sex.

Just the human tissue reactives.

Remember Moe?

The monkey? He went five months to term.

- You mean to do the test on a man?

- Why not?

Are you allergic to anything?

To me? You're nuts.

- Boarding pass?

- I don't have a boarding pass.

Only ticketed passengers with

boarding passes beyond this point.

Hear me out!

Sir, I need your ticket.

- Gate 68B to Paris.

- Quick. Thank you very much.

Pardon me. Excuse me.

Sorry. Excuse me. Pardon me.

Oh, my God.

You wouldn't be pregnant pregnant.

Sort of guest host situation.

We fertilize the egg.

We implant it in the peritoneal cavity.

Dose it with Expectane.

Tiny thing, grain of rice.

You carry it through the first trimester.

We get our data. Boom, it's over.

4A. To your left.

51F. All the way back.

I'm going to just go...

I guess I was wrong about you, Hesse.

I took you for a scientist.

- I am a scientist.

- Yeah?

Where's your vision?

Jenner infected himself with

smallpox to test his vaccine.

- That's Jenner.

- So why not you?

Is it possible? Who knows?

Natural?

So what?

Good science? You bet.

Come and claim your

place in the Pantheon.

You're just trying to manipulate me.

Yes, I am. So what?

Excuse me. I have to ask

you to take your seat.

Yeah, all right. Just a second.

Look, cards on the table.

I don't like you any

more than you like me.

You got all the warmth and

charm of a walleyed pike.

If we weren't partners...

But the point is, we are partners.

We're on the verge of

something fantastic.

Something important.

I need you to carry it through with me.

- This could really work.

- Yes, it could.

- Are you sure you can find an egg?

- No problem.

Okay, who's the lucky one?

Okay, Junior, let's go for a ride.

God. Dr. Arbogast.

- Dr. Reddin, what are you doing here?

- Where?

I don't know... Where am I?

Oh, the lab. Good. Excellent.

My lab. My lab.

So what brings you here?

It's like when a ball player gets traded

and he goes to the ballpark.

He comes back an, you know, just

alone with his thoughts.

Just to memorize the turf

the infield

the angles of the light.

What?

- You have a piece of cheese.

- Sorry. It's from my sandwich.

So what are you doing in this lab?

- Here, right over there.

- Thanks.

Actually, I'm... I see

you kept Minnie and Moe.

- Yes, Minnie and Moe.

- Kept them.

I could hardly turn out an

expectant mother, could I?

- No. Well, Alex will be very happy.

- Good.

Because I get the feeling that Dr. Hesse

blames me for the less of his facility.

He did take it kind of hard.

I'd hate to see his work go

unfinished due to budget constrains.

Would you tell him that I'd

be more than happy to help out

with lab time an

materials, even some space

if, I don't know what you think,

he might be amenable to sharing.

That would be extremely generous

and more helpful than you can imagine.

So, is there a Mr. Dr. Reddin?

Who?

No.

No, no, no.

Sorry.

Maybe we could have dinner sometime.

- No.

- No.

- Your back?

- Yeah, back.

- So...

- You're off.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Thanks for coming.

- Okay.

Way to go.

This is it.

Terrific motility.

- Excellent count.

- Let me see.

Strong swimmers. Big load. Way to go.

2:
45 a.m., subject takes 15 cc Expectane

supplemented with 100

milligrams of progesterone

two milligrams of estrogen.

Salud.

- So how's the Expectane taste?

- Bitter.

Well, we'll add some

flavoring when we market it.

Good idea.

All right. Let's find the spot.

All right, let's see. Peritoneal cavity.

Let's see here.

That looks like a good,

clear window right there.

There's plenty of room for the

embryo through the first trimester.

- A little lower.

- Yeah.

- Right over here.

- That's it.

All right.

Let's put a bun in your oven.

Where did you get the egg, by the way?

The egg?

Colleague of mine. An anonymous harvest.

Had a couple of spare. Just relax.

Here we go. Yeah.

Navigating.

Mama.

What? Hi.

- Where am I?

- This is my house.

You're staying with me

during the protocol, remember?

Let's see how you are.

I forgot.

Here. Put that under your tongue.

This your bedroom?

No, it's my ex-wife's bedroom.

Cheery, huh?

She decorated it herself.

She had taste. Give her that.

You had separate bedrooms?

No. We didn't always

have separate bedrooms.

Good. There are many stops

along the road to divorce.

Blood pressure good.

Let's check this out.

Normal. Very good.

- I have to pee.

- I need that, too. Here.

Fill her up.

We're going to do the tests at

8:
00 a.m. and again at 10:00 p.m.

I got a prenatal monitor and

a blood screener ordered up.

Do you mind? Can I have some privacy?

You know, it was really nice of

Dr. Reddin to let us share her lab.

I'll go there to analyze and

collate the fluid sampler.

All right. Sounds good.

That should be enough.

All right now, this watch is

set to go off every four hours

to remind you to take the Expectane.

What do you think? Six

times a day should do it.

That should do it.

Let's see how we did.

I must be crazy to be doing this.

You may be crazy, but

you're also pregnant.

Congratulations.

I'm pregnant.

So embryo three is entering

its two-to-four stage.

Today we'll be extracting

an eight-cell cluster

an freezing it

for induced suspension

and development arrest.

- Dr. Hesse? Can I get you anything?

- I'm looking for any

cryogenic disruption

to the DNA footprints.

- He's fine.

- Good. Excellent.

- Let's go on with it, okay?

- What about this?

- Here to see the new mama!

- Hi, Dr. Arbogast.

- Hi!

- Banana, they'll love it.

Mother and daughter are doing fine.

She's a pretty baby.

Looks just like you.

Got your ears.

- You like that?

- You can eat it.

- Don't you want to eat it?

- Yeah.

Hey, big guy, how're they swinging?

- What's the matter? You okay?

- Yeah.

What, what?

Look, my HCG levels aren't

where they should be.

Let's up the hormone

supplement five milliliters.

How you feeling otherwise?

I just can't keep anything down.

That's morning sickness.

It'll pass. Eat crackers.

My nipples are very sensitive.

What?

My nipples, they feel

like, kind of, tingling.

- Tingling like sore or like itchy?

- You surf?

Surf, because I got that

a lot from paddling out.

It's something about the wax and

the salt water. It irritates them.

- You get what?

- His nipples are tingling.

- I don' surf.

- It could be your laundry detergent.

I used to get that when

I used a non-biodegradable soap.

Thank you for your

concern. It's very nice.

Or it could be that polyester shirt.

I don't know how much

more of this I can handle.

You're doing great. I

talked to my guy at Lyndon.

They saw the initial

data. They are ecstatic.

I'll meet with their CEO at the

convention in San Francisco next month.

What? Cramps?

Come on. Get up. Let's
