Staten Island Page #3

Whle he was just workng

as a clerk n a patent offce,

Ensten had four papers publshed

n a leadng German physcs journal.

These papers would transform

the way we see the unverse.

Hi!

- Hey. How're you doin'?

- Hey.

- Mmm...

- Mmm!

Oh, no, no! I took two showers!

It's not strong.

Just one more. I'm sorry.

No, it's not your fault.

Where have you been?

I worried about you.

I went to the doctor after work.

Is everything all right?

It's been four months,

and I haven't gotten pregnant,

so I just wanted to see

if everything was in working order.

And what did they say?

FEMALE VOICE-O VER:

Tssue engneerng allows for the

successful regeneraton of everythng

from skn for burn vctms

to ears and noses for people

who have lost

or dsfgured body parts.

Breakthroughs

n tssue regeneraton

are occurrng here n Staten Island's

medcal-research facIty.

Nanotechnology s a procedure

whch uses computers

and sensors smaller than a cell

to study the human body.

Breakthroughs n nanotechnology

are occurrng here n Staten Island.

Let's talk about the Staten Island

Research Center's newest project...

embryonc gene modfcaton.

Breakthroughs n ths area

are allowng our doctors

to enhance desrable characterstcs

n an embryo

whle deletng

undesrable characterstcs,

resultng n chIdren

who are smarter, stronger, healther,

- and capable of great thngs.

- Sully.

- Sully!

- Yeah?

I'm done with the exam.

The doctor wants

to speak with us now.

Yeah, yeah.

Mrs. Halverson, you have

what's called a retroverted uterus.

Your uterus is facing backwards

instead of forwards.

This sounds bad.

Don't be alarmed.

Your doctor was correct

in sending you to me,

but it's not as serious as it sounds.

It's just a hard condition to detect.

One simple way

you can compensate for this

is to alter position

during intercourse.

This will help impregnation.

So I don't gotta have an operation?

No. We're very far from that.

Nah...

The nurse outside will give you

an information packet

that will explain

what you should do at this time.

And any questions,

just call the office.

Thank you so much, Doctor.

I'm so relieved.

You're going to be fine.

- Come on, Sully.

- All right.

You... Um...

One thing, though... Um... Do...

On the TVs out there,

they had this... um...

They show where

they have an operation

where they make the babies

real smart.

Is that for real,

or is that, like, science fiction?

I mean, what...?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's quite real, Mr. Halverson.

It's, um, an ad for research

done at this facility.

It's called

embryonic gene modification,

a procedure where we

genetically alter an embryo

to create superior,

healthier children.

It's... It's amazing.

Well, thank you, Doctor.

- You're welcome.

- Good luck with your program.

- We really...

- Okay.

- Thanks, Doctor.

- You're welcome anytime.

This is amazing sh*t

you got going with them kids.

And good luck.

Go see the nurse.

Ow!

Mm-hmm.

That's better. Thanks.

Okay.

So, I have to throw

my legs back like this

and then thrust my pelvis skyward.

All this high-tech sh*t,

and their answer is for us

to f*** like circus folk, huh?

I don't get it.

It'll help the sperm

get to the right spot.

Uh-huh.

Come on.

Uh-huh. That's sexy.

You try, and see how sexy you look.

- All right, all right.

- Come on.

Do your thing.

Oh, sh*t!

I still have some dirt here.

It's an old stain. Don't worry.

Hey, hey, please, just...

Hurry, I'm dying here.

I just...

I, um...

I...

I went... I went...

I w...

I went to that medical center today.

- What?

- Yeah.

You kidding? Why?

I was curious about, you know,

all that genetic sh*t.

I mean, smart kids

are f***ing amazing.

You know? So I...

I spoke to our doctor.

You know what?

Sh*t. I'm sorry.

This dirt is really bothering me.

- Sully, just forget it!

- I swear to Christ.

You went back to the doctor?

- That's weird.

- Yeah.

She explained

how it works to me, you know.

They enhance the smart genes

and they "dehance" the... the...

...the dumb ones.

You know, I mean...

These kids, I mean,

they are like geniuses and sh*t.

They can do miracle sh*t.

Yeah, that's great.

Can you come back in here, please?

She said it costs $50, OOO

to get into the program.

I mean, you gotta pay,

'cause it's kinda like...

...um, artificial in... ins...

Insemination?

L... i... ins... i...

It's just like that, you know,

so it costs a shitload of money.

Let me ask you something.

If we had that kind of money,

would you be into that?

I don't know, Sully.

Yo, Eddie!

- Can I talk to you for a second?

- What's up?

Let me ask you something.

You've been around, right?

- I f***ed a lot of broads.

- No, I'm not talking about that.

I'm saying, like, uh...

If you wanted to... uh...

...if you wanted to steal something,

like, rob somebody,

would you know who to call?

Yeah, dude. I'd f***ing call

Johnny Nutsack and Vinny DaCheese.

I'm not...

Stop.

I'm serious.

I'm dead f***in' serious.

I've seen it open.

We did this place

about eight months ago.

There was a blockage in the pit,

so I had to flush all the toilets.

An old woman let me in,

let me wander around by myself.

I passed his office,

he didn't see me,

and it was open.

Just piles of f***ing cash.

So I've been watching the place.

And they have an alarm,

but they only, uh...

What do you call it,

when you turn it on?

"Turn it on"?

No, with an alarm.

You... you...

"Engage"?

Yeah, you engage it, yeah.

Anyway...

They only do that

when he and his mom both go out.

So, the only problem that I can see

is the old woman and the safe.

Safe's not a problem anymore.

Yeah? Safe's not a problem.

No. He will handle the safe.

And we'll handle the old woman.

But you have to understand, we all

have to understand the risk involved.

We're not stealing

from some average, f***ing Joe.

Yeah, I know, you said that

about, I don't know,

ten hundred billion times.

- So I think I get the idea.

- But...

Parmie Tarzo, right, did not make

his money on Wall Street, okay?

So you have to be

absolutely f***ing positive

that this is what you wanna do.

Is this what you wanna do?

Yeah.

Yeah. Let's do it.

Shhh!

Oh! Hey... tsk... tsk...

Eddie, watch her!

If she wakes up, tape her mouth.

Sully, show me the safe.

Yeah, it's, it's right up here.

See what that was.

Uh... We better leave.

Let's... Let's leave.

Without

this f***ing money, we're not.

Okay. Okay.

I'll get out of here...

What did you do?

Calm the f*** down, Sully.

Listen to me. Listen to me.

- Eddie, what the f*** did you do?

- Sully, calm the f*** down!

No, listen. She woke up,

and I went to tape her mouth.

I tried to tie her up,

but she freaked out, so I tried to...

You're not supposed to shoot!

What was I supposed to...

Call an ambulance!

No, no! You're f***ing crazy, Sully!

Call an ambulance!

No! We can't call an ambulance!

We gotta get the f*** outta here!

Oh, God! I'm sorry!
