Hello, there's a baby here.

There must be a mother. Hello!

There's a baby!

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 of Expectane three times a day.

Hey, Keith. Good morning.

-Ned. -Larry. Hey, big day.

-Are you nervous? -FDA? Piece of cake.

-Sign those plan documents, will you? -All right.

Hello, Louise. Hello, everybody.

Mrs. Parrish is in 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. -Doctor.

-I'm ready to explode. -Not here, you're not.

Perfect.

-Just one more month. -Yes.

-Get me 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...

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.

As director of Leland University's biotechnology research program...

...I 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.

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

We have all the latest videocassettes, the current magazines.

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, sorry, your ex-wife's in your office.

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

Yeah. In there.

You're doing great. See you in a month.

-Hi. -Angela, what are you doing here?

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

-You might want to sit down. -I'm busy, Angela.

I'm pregnant, Larry.

Really?

That's wonderful.

-How long? -Seven weeks, give or take.

The Kelman wedding. The night of the Kelman wedding.

-Yeah, that's the only time we did it. -No.

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?

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.

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.

What seems to be the trouble?

They've jammed the lock.

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, 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 lab space is tight, and money's even tighter.

-They canceled the project. -Please, Banes.

I got $300,000 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.

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... -They're very fragile.

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

-Don't touch that! -You shouldn't be up there!

Stop! No!

Help me! Help me! Help me now!

-My babies! -Out of the way!

Thank you. Thank you.

That's not necessary.

Get off me.

Sorry.

Thank you 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.

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 laboratory, isn't it?

-Was. -You like it?

Yes. But I don't want to displace anybody.

You won't be, I promise.

Take the chimps back to the primate lab. We won't be needing them anymore.

-Where you going? -I'm going back to Europe to start over.

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

We're partners. You can't just 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. -I'm not well liked.

-I like you. -No, you don't.

I talked to my guy at Lyndon Pharmaceutical, the Canadian firm.

-Larry. Good-bye. -They'll give us additional funding...

...provided we find a volunteer for an Expectane protocol.

Can't do the protocol without FDA approval.

We can if we don't tell the FDA.

Are we going to let Washington bureaucrats...

...stand in the way of progress?

What woman will take an unapproved 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 a 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?
