Can the maker repalr what he makes?
1:20:06
Would you like to be modified?
1:20:10
Stay here.
1:20:16
I had in mind something more radical.
1:20:20
What....
1:20:22
What seems to be the problem?
1:20:25
Death.
1:20:26
Death?
1:20:28
Well, I'm afraid that's a little
out of my jurisdiction. You-
1:20:31
I want more life...
1:20:35
...Fucker!
1:20:40
The facts of life....
1:20:44
To make an alteration in the...
1:20:47
...evolvement of an organic life
system is fatal.
1:20:49
A coding sequence cannot be revised
once it's been established.
1:20:53
Why not?
1:20:54
Because, by the second day of incubation,
any cells...
1:20:57
...that have undergone reversion
mutations give rise...
1:21:01
...to revertant colonies,
like rats leaving a ship.
1:21:04
Then, the ship sinks.
1:21:06
What about E.M.S. recombination?
1:21:10
We've already tried it.
1:21:12
Ethyl Methane Sulfonate
is an aIkylating agent...
1:21:15
...and a potent mutagen.
It created a virus, so lethal...
1:21:19
...the subject was dead
before he left the table.
1:21:22
Then a repressor protein,
that blocks the operating cells.
1:21:26
It wouldn't obstruct replication, but it
does give rise to an error in replication.
1:21:29
So that newly formed DNA strand
carries a mutation...
1:21:34
...and you've got a virus again.
1:21:37
But, this, all of this is...
1:21:42
...academic.
1:21:43
You were made
as well as we could make you.
1:21:46
But not to last.
1:21:48
The light that burns twice as bright,
burns half as long.
1:21:51
And you have burned so very brightly, Roy.
1:21:56
Look at you.
1:21:58
You're the prodigal son.
