Ah, the thumb!
1:01:06
The thumb, the thumb,
the thumb.
1:01:10
The thumb, the thumb,
the thumb.
1:01:16
One of evolution's
most ingenious inventions.
1:01:19
A built-in tool,
1:01:21
sensitive to texture, contour,
and temperature.
1:01:23
An alchemical lever,
the secret key to technology,
1:01:27
the link between
the mind and art.
1:01:30
The humanizing device.
1:01:32
The marmoset and the lemur
are thumbless.
1:01:36
None of the new world monkeys
has opposable thumbs.
1:01:38
The spider monkey's thumbs
are absent
1:01:41
or reduced
to a tiny tubercle.
1:01:42
The thumbs
of the potto are set
1:01:45
at an angle of 180 degrees
to the other digits.

1:01:55
the privileges of thumb that nature
has perversely denied you?
1:02:02
I just want to be normal,
Doctor.
1:02:04
Give me that old-fashioned
normality.
1:02:08
It was good enough
for Crazy Horse,
1:02:10
and it's good enough
for me.
1:02:15
Ah yes.
1:02:19
Very well, my dear.
1:02:21
Here's what we can do.
