The Nutty Professor
- Hey, hey Hey-hey-hey
- Let's sweat!
- Macho, macho man
- Macho man
- Come on!
- I've got to be
- That's right! Shake it, honey!
- A macho man
Macho, macho man
- Oh, yeah! Like a pony! I'm a pony!
- I've got to be a macho
Don't you feel like
a pony when you sweat?
- Oh, yeah! Yeah! Go!
- I've got to be
- Go! Do it! Come on!
- A macho man
Macho, macho man
- - Here we go! One! Two!
This is my favorite exercise!
Come on! Five!
- Macho, macho man
- Whoa!
- Macho! Macho! Ohh!
- I've got to be
- I'm a pony!
- A macho man
- Come on. Let's go!
Do it! Come on!
- I've got to be a macho
- I'm vogueing! You can vogue!
- - Can you feel it?
I've got to be
- A macho man
- Ohh!
I'm going to have an aneurysm.
Ohh! My calves are burning!
This is our science department.
The genetics wing.
I'll remind you we are
in the vanguard of research.
Get Klump in here now.
- Professor Klump.
- Good mornin'.
- Hey, Professor!
- Good mornin'!
- Morning.
- Mornin'.
- Good morning, Professor Klump.
- Morning. How are you?
Mornin'.
Aaaaaah!
Oh, my goodness.
Professor Klump, the cages-
what happened?
That is most peculiar, Jason,
because I distinctly remember
locking up last night.
I locked these cages, picked up
my portfolio and turned around-
Oh. Ha-ha-ha.
I must've grazed the switch.
Ha-ha.
- Shelley's the only one
that didn't get out.
- Good. I'll tend to Shelley.
You students take care of this.
Excuse me.
Hello, Shelley. How are you today,
Yeah. Yeah.
- Sir?
You may want to look at
the latest test results.
I'm not sure if I'm
reading them correctly.
- She's lost three ounces
since the last feed?
- Must be some kind of mistake.
No, no, Jason.
Her entire molecular structure
has been realigned.
We've done it.
This new formula's working.
It's actually reconstructed
Shelley's DNA.
She lost 20 percent
of her body fat in one feeding.
What if we upped the dosage?
No, one step at a time.
We don't want to jeopardize Shelley.
- We'll keep the feedings as scheduled.
- Okay.
Schedule. Excuse me.
I'm very late.
Students, we got a lot of work to do
and don't have much time to do it in.
Tryin' to win a grant here.
So, as Arsenio used to say,
let's get busy!
- Comfy?
- Quite.
Anything I can get for you?
Juice? Coffee? Rack of lamb?
No, sir, I'm fine.
You, uh, did want to see me
about something, didn't you, sir?
Well, Professor Klump,
allow me to answer that question
by posing another.
- Why are you trying
to destroy my school?
- Beg your pardon, sir?
- Do you know who
Louise Vindovik is?
- Oh, surely, sir.
generously donates money to help
fund our science department.
Ooh! Close.
Very close. But wrong.
See, she was a lovely woman, and she
used to fund our science department.
That was before she was hospitalized
for nearly swallowing a gerbil.
Not gerbil, sir.
A hamster.
Gerbils are more streamlined and
hamsters have a tendency to be fluffier.
The male hamster's scrotum has
a tendency to be disproportionately-
Never mind.
are right.
If I had one now- bang.
Sir, I'd like to concentrate
on the positives.
What Ms. Vindovik witnessed
was 5,000 healthy hamsters...
bred from a genetically deficient
hereditary line.
It's actually very exciting.
Do I look excited, Klump?
Uh, no, you don't
look excited at all.
But maybe you might be holding it in,
your excitement,
not wanting to...
express it.
Now listen to me carefully,
you fat tub of goo.
For years you've single-handedly
alienated every wealthy donor we've had.
Air-conditioning schools
are outdrawing us!
We've lost so much money,
red is our school color.
Inner-city schools
have better computers than we do.
Bosnia wants to give us money!
I'm going to set up a meeting
with Harlan Hartley- Klump!
Are you listening?
- Uh, yes, sir. Yes.
- Hartley is the last
rich alumnus we've got.
And he's a science fan.
And he's considering donating
a $10 million grant to this school.
And I want that money, Klump.
Your job depends upon it.
I'll let you know how to handle it,
since I'll be watching you. Now go.
- But, sir, I don't know
if you should-
- Ah-ah-ah.
See, right back there, just before
you said, "But, sir-" Right there?
That was the end
of the meeting.
Well, I guess
I'll leave.
You have a pleasant day.
Grace, the cream
has turned again.
Of all the equations you'll learn
during the course of your studies here,
this equation shall be,
I promise you,
the most helpful throughout
the course of your studies,
because this equation
fundamentally breaks down...
and what components of DNA-
- I seem to have messed myself.
I haven't really messed myself.
But, uh, make sure you read chapter four
in your textbooks on genetics.
Gon' be a pop quiz
on Wednesday.
There's a pop quiz.
Pop quiz.
Professor Klump?
- Hello.
- Oh. Hi. I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt.
I was looking for Professor Klump.
I'm him. I'm he.
I'm Sherman Klump-
- Never mind. I do that all the time.
Makes the table look more festive,
and the kids enjoy it.
The yellow and green
and purple rolling around.
The table's more colorful and-
- Would another time be better?
I could always-
- No, no, don't be ridiculous.
- I'm between classes
and I got a m-minute to chat.
- How can I help you?
- Hi. I'm Carla Purty.
- Hello, Miss Purty.
- I'm a grad student.
- I'm teaching my first
chemistry class across the hall.
- Okay. Mm-hmm.
I just had to come over
and introduce myself.
I've followed your work
for many years, and I'm a big fan.
Well, thank you very much.
I'm fatter-
uh, flattered that you've been
following my work the way you have.
A chemistry teacher. Chemistry sure
is important to have... chemistry...
to have and use it.
Chemically- Chemistry. Well-
- It's been a pleasure meeting you.
Oh, the pleasure was
all mine, Miss Purty.
And, um, hope to
see you around.
Well, you can't miss me.
Have a good day.
You do the same,
Miss Purty.
- Mm-mmm-mmm.
Now, that's fine.
She's fine.
Oh, this is so fabulous.
Ain't nothin' like
gettin' together with family
and havin' a good meal.
Cletus, take this bowl.
It's hot.
Goddamn,
Sherman, it's almost like we
don't see your ass no more.
Good to see you, son.
You think you too good to
spend time with your family
every now and then?
- I've been real busy, Ernie.
- I don't want no potatoes.
Mashed potatoes give me gas.
In my day, Sherman, people used
to spend time with they family...
on Sundays
and special occasions.
Come around
and pay their respects.
You mess around and miss
little Ernie's golden years,
you're gonna be mad at yourself.
- Baby's got a little gas.
- Here she goes. Y'all
better cover your plates.
Mama, have some water.
Grandma, you spit on me.
What you talkin' about,
coverin' your plates?
