Hello, there's... There's a baby here.

Uh, there must be a mother.

Hello! There's a baby!

Oh!

Help!

Hello? Is anybody here?

Miscarriage-prone female reproductive system is merely an extension

of the body's natural and necessary instincts to reject foreign matter.

Just two drops. The body mistakenly identifies the embryo

as an unwanted foreign substance

and creates antibodies to fight and reject it.

From this equation comes the idea for the drug, Expectane,

which acts to neutralize the interfering antibodies

and promote successful embryo attachment.

Minnie here had a history of miscarriages.

As a result of our treatments,

she's now in her seventh month of pregnancy.

She takes 10 cc's of Expectane three times a day.

- Hey, Keith. - Good morning.

Ned.

Larry. Hey, big day. Nervous?

FDA? Piece of cake.

Sign those plan documents, will ya?

All right.

Hello, Louise. Hello, everybody.

Mrs. Parrish is in one for a second trimester sonogram.

You have an initial consultation with the Lanzarottas,

and Mrs. Logan's here for a final.

Okay. Bagel, please. Thank you.

- Hello. - Oh, Doctor.

I'm ready to explode.

Oh, not here, you're not.

Perfect. Just one more month.

Yes.

Get new blood and urine samples.

Blood and urine samples.

Dr. Hesse, good luck with the FDA.

Luck is for the ill-prepared.

- Car's waiting out front. - Thank you.

I had them check the traffic reports.

And the big dweeb?

He and Mr. Banes will meet you downtown. Good luck.

In testing the drug on chimpanzees

with a history of miscarriages,

I found conclusively that in every instance the side effects observed

were consistent with the behavioral

and metabolic changes in subjects

with normal unmedicated pregnancies:

nausea, mood swings, appetite fluctuation, irritability, morning...

Typical lamb-chop's-got-a-bun- in-the-oven type behavior.

This drug works.

Madam Chairperson, ladies and gentlemen,

we respectfully request the Board's approval

to carry on into an invasive human protocol.

Thank you.

You got to let us try this on real women.

Women in need. Our sisters.

Our daughters...

Dr. Arbogast.

If you could see the couples that come into my office.

Their pain and frustration is genuine.

Dr. Arbogast.

Ma'am?

This is an FDA hearing, not a telethon.

We have all the information we need.

Thank you.

Madam Chairperson, as director of Leland University's

Biotechnology Research Program,

I want to thank you on behalf of my esteemed colleagues for your consideration.

Let's go, gentlemen.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

That went pretty good, huh?

I'm sure you'll be very comfortable here.

We have all the latest videocassettes, the current magazines.

Uh, give it to Louise when you're finished.

I'm sure you'll be very comfortable.

Just relax and enjoy it. That's the ticket.

Dr. Arbogast?

Your wife... I'm sorry, your ex-wife's in your office.

- She says she needs to talk to you. - What?

- Yeah. In there. - In...

You're doing great. See you in a month. How ya doin'?

Oh, hi.

Angela, what are you doin' here?

Larry, I've got something really important to talk to you about.

You might wanna sit down.

I'm busy, Angela.

Well, I'm pregnant, Larry.

Really? Well, that's...

That's wonderful.

How long?

Oh, seven weeks, give or take.

The Kelman wedding.

The night of the Kelman wedding.

Yeah, that's the only time we did it...

No.

Oh.

He was in and out of my life very quickly.

Not quickly enough, apparently.

- He who? - It's not important.

You sure it's not mine?

Larry, come on. After all the years we tried,

I don't think it's going to happen one night by accident.

Thought maybe one of mine could have bribed his way in or something.

So, what do you want from me, Angela?

I want you to be my doctor.

Thank you very much, Angela, but I...

Even if I wanted to, I couldn't. We're related.

- Not since the divorce. Dr. Arbogast.

Dr. Arbogast.

In a minute!

No. That's final.

I'll ask Ned if he's got any room.

If there's anybody better than me, it's Ned.

I'm sorry. Noah Banes is on one. He says it's important.

Ned Sneller? Forget it. He looks at me, Larry.

Banes. I'm on my way.

All right, gentlemen. What seems to be the trouble?

They've jammed the lock.

Dr. Hesse?

Dr. Hesse?

Dr. Hesse? This is totally unacceptable behavior.

Open this door, now.

I will miss you most of all.

Pop the hinges.

Banes. What's going on?

Dr. Arbogast, uh, good news and bad news, I'm afraid.

FDA decision, wicked bad news.

- They turned us down? - I'm afraid so.

And the review board has terminated your project.

I'm sorry, but you know, lab space is tight, and money's even tighter.

They canceled the project.

Please, Banes.

I got 300 grand in this drug. You got to cut me some slack.

Would that I could, but it's out of my hands. Blame the review board.

You're head of the board.

Yes, I am. Rock and a hard place.

So what's the good news?

Well, I really hate to dance on your grave.

But I landed Dr. Diana Reddin and her ovum cryogenics project.

I need you to be extremely careful with this.

Lady, if I hear that one more time out of you...

They're very fragile.

I've just got to set the level for the incliners.

- Hey, don't touch that! - You shouldn't be up there!

Stop! No!

Help me! Help me! Help me now!

Oh! My babies!

Out of the way!

Oh!

Thank you. Thank you.

That's not necessary...

Get off me.

Sorry.

Oh!

Thank you so... So very much.

Leave me alone.

Dr. Reddin? Are you all right?

Yes.

I'm fine. Thank you.

- No harm done. - No.

Are they...

Okay, let me just check these.

Thank God.

They're all right.

They're all right.

Frozen eggs, huh?

Yes. I call it the dairy section.

Ah, if it weren't for the lightning reflexes of...

Where is he? He's gone.

Hesse!

Dr. Hesse has left the building.

Wait. It's his...

It's his laboratory, isn't it?

- Was. - You like it?

Yes. But I...

I don't want to displace anybody.

Oh, you won't be, I promise.

Take the chimps back to the primate lab.

We won't be needing them anymore.

Hesse. Where ya goin'?

I'm going back to Europe to start over.

You're running out on me? I don't believe this. What are you doin'?

We're partners. You can't just up and leave.

We're not partners anymore.

I have no lab, no funding, no future here.

Wait a minute. What about all the people you'd be leaving behind?

What about your girlfriend? What's her name again?

I don't have a girlfriend.

You're better off.

How about your colleagues?

I happen to know for a fact

that your skill and dedication is an inspiration to everybody.

They'd be lost without you.

They will find someone else to mimic over coffee in the lounge.

That's not true. They don't do that.

Come on.
