Revenge Of The Creature Page #3

---

You're not at all

like I expected.

I'm glad I disappointed you.

He's not much on

table manners, is he?

Come on, let's get out of here

before the crowd runs over us.

All right.

What are you doing

for dinner tonight?

You don't waste

any time, do you?

I've only got two weeks.

But you came

here to work.

Any time a man can combine

business with pleasure,

he's batting 500

in my league.

And now, I'll start

all over again.

Miss Dobson, what are you

doing for dinner tonight?

Well, I hadn't

thought about it, sir.

Then that's settled.

Now where are you staying?

At the Star Motel.

Great. So am I.

[Joe]

Hey, Professor.!

Wait for me!

Uh-oh, I've been

afraid of this.

ThatJoe Hayes is

an A-number-one wolf.

Avoid him.

It'll be difficult,

but it can be done.

Well, aren't you

gonna wait for him?

What? And let Mr. America

cut into my cake?

What's the matter,

old-timer, pooped out?

You shouldn't walk these

brain-boys so fast.

They can't take it.

You know, strong upstairs,

but no stamina.

It's good to see you, Clete.

I heard you were in town.

You too.

I understand you're gonna

be here for a couple of weeks.

Yeah, that's right.

Ah, that's tough.

You won't have the chance to

enjoy the good things in life.

And what are you doing

for dinner tonight?

Well, I uh...

Uh, sorry, Joe, she just made

a date with me, didn't you?

Well, l...

Well, yes.

Oh, but you can join us,

Joe, if you want to.

No, thanks. I'll give

the professor his chance.

I don't like to take

advantage of amateurs.

See you later.

[P.A. System]

Ladies and gentlemen,

introducing Flippy,

the educated porpoise.

Flippy has been taught to

retrieve objects on command.

And now, for a finale,

Flippy will raise the flag.

Well, where have

you been, boy?

I guess I better introduce you.

Professor, this is Chris.

My one true love and

favorite boyfriend.

Pleased to

meet you, sir.

Well, it's all right, boy.

He won't bite you.

Ah, come on, boy.

Say, you're

a good old dog.

Does he always

travel with you?

No, no.

He picked me up a

couple of weeks ago.

I was here watching

the porpoises...

and he made a pass at me,

didn't you, boy?

If Flippy gets any smarter,

he'll start talking.

He talks, all right.

We're just not smart

enough to understand him.

Hi.

Hi.

Think Chris is smarter

than Flippy, Professor?

I doubt it.

The porpoise has a very large

and well-developed brain.

In fact, his intelligence

lies somewhere between

a chimpanzee and a dog.

How smart is

the Gill Man?

Well, that's what

I'm here to find out.

What his reflexes are like.

His behavior patterns.

His capacity to learn.

His response to stimuli.

Oh, it sounds exciting.

I hope I'll be able to help.

Thanks.

I'm sure you will.

[P.A. System]

Here we go.

Okay, once more.

Back again.

All right, Flippy, you may

now return to your private

quarters, and thank you.

Testing.

One, two, three, four.

[Helen's Voice]

Testing. One, two,

three, four.

[Clete's Voice]

Testing. One, two,

three, four.

[Helen's Voice]

Testing. One, two,

three, four.

[Helen's Voice]

Testing. One, two,

three, four.

[Clete's Voice]

The speaker must be working.

He's reacting to it down there.

[Clete's Voice]

Be sure your

throat mike is tight.

Be sure and keep

that volume up.

Yes, sir.

Now the important thing is

not to become so interested

you get careless.

Oh, you don't have

to worry about that.

If anything goes wrong,

you head straight for

the surface, you understand?

All right, let's go.

I sure hate

to use this,

but I guess we

haven't much choice.

All right now, let's

go over it once more.

You're to wait for

the right moment...

and then push the food

cage within his reach.

Mm-hmm.

As he reaches for it,

you're to say "Stop"

in your throat microphone.

He won't know

what it means...

so I'll condition him

by shocking him with

the bull-prod. Right?

Right.

Bob, hand me this when I

get in the water, will you?

Here he comes.

Be careful, Clete.

[Shocking Noises]

That was lesson

number one.

He knows the prod

can hurt him.

Put the cage down and

stay close to the wall.

Right.

He's a little gun-shy.

You better attract

his attention.

Jiggle the cover, Helen.

Okay.

Get back, Helen.!

Here he comes.

Now.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

He's learning fast.

Shall we try it again?

No, that's enough for now.

Let's take the cage up.

From now on, we're the

only ones who'll feed him.

That was fine. Now you

better get out of that rig.

Remember, we have a

date for dinner tonight.

Hi.

I don't care what

the joke writers say.

It takes longer

for a man to dress.

He's got more to put on.

How's he doin'?

Fine.

Come on, let's

get out of here.

All right.

Here's the Mickey Finn,

Professor.

Good.

Takes about five minutes

for this stuff to work.

Then he'll be

gentle as a baby.

I suppose.

Fine scientist you are, getting

squeamish about doping a fish.

He's got it.

Let's go.

Right.

Hey, what

goes on here?

Oh, well...

every second, millions

of electric impulses...

leap from one cell of

the brain to another...

making our minds and

moods what they are.

You see, those wires

on the Gill Man...

pick up these impulses and

register them here on the chart.

Yeah.

Naturally, we'd learn a lot

more about the creature...

if we could test him

while he was awake.

Well, my dear girl,

everybody knows that when you're

asleep the brain stops working.

No more so than

the heart does.

The brain waves

become irregular,

like those of the insane.

You mean, I'm crazy

when I'm asleep?

No more so than

when you're awake.

Red corpuscle content only 10

percent less than human blood.

Un-nucleated structure.

No correlation with

the fish sample.

It's amazing.

Every test, every reaction

just misses being human.

Back again, boy?

Say, you're like a

proverbial kid brother

trying to mooch a nickel.

There.

[Whimpering]

Well, what's the matter,

boy, you worn out?

Wouldn't you

be by now?

Here, boy.

Fetch.

Fetch it, boy.

Fetch it.

[Barking]

He's a character.

It's nice to get away,

lie in the sun,

be like other people.

Strange talk coming from

a dedicated scientist.

Have you forgotten

your mission in life?

I'll be leaving soon.

I'm gonna miss you.

You know, sometimes I wonder how

I ever got started in all this.

Science,

fish, ichthyology.

Where will it all lead me,

as a person, I mean?

Most of the kids I went to

undergraduate school with...

are already married

and have children.

Is that what you want?

I don't know.

L... I just don't know.

But surely...

But what do

you want?

Well, it's

different with me.

I'm a man, I don't

have to make a choice.

But I do?

It's tough on you gals.

I'm not saying it's

right or wrong.

Just a fact.

It doesn't

seem right.

But you haven't

told me what you want.

What you want most, I mean.

I'd like to know

before I leave.

You've become

important to me.

Very?
