:12:00
Go! On the double!
:12:06
Oh, mama!
:12:11
Mama.
:12:14
Listen, you monkey.
:12:15
This is a monkey wrench!
:12:17
Plumber's helper number one,
you're fired. Get out of town.

:12:23
What is that terrible noise?
:12:27
Noise to us.
:12:28
But the computers analyse
every possible permutation.

:12:31
What we hear as incoherent noise
may actually be a musical masterpiece.

:12:35
Listen to our computer's
interpretation of Basil's playing.

:12:41
That's remarkable.
:12:42
It has all the complexities
of a symphony by Haydn or Beethoven.

:12:46
If that's the case...
:12:47
it's possible that what we hear
as baby talk is actually conversation.

:12:52
Exactly. And look at this.
A child writing on a pad, right? No.

:12:57
After checking all languages...
:12:58
we found out they're writing
the cuneiform language.

:13:01
They speak their own language.
:13:03
They understand all others.
:13:05
Now watch this.
:13:10
Subject One speaks, and we
immediately see activity here...

:13:14
in the lower limbic region...
:13:16
while Subject Two, as he listens...
:13:18
is active in the forebrain.
:13:20
These babies are having a conversation.
We just don't understand them.

:13:24
The instant a child begins
to speak in any known language...

:13:28
the limbic activity ceases.
:13:29
As though they forget.
:13:31
Exactly. Bobbins was right.
:13:33
What if the limbic activity
is not merely speech?

:13:36
What if it's stored knowledge...
:13:38
from an early-parent gene pool?
:13:40
Passed from generation to generation.
:13:43
Amazing!
:13:44
They may know
the secrets of the universe.

:13:47
The greatest
breakthrough in history!

:13:49
Change humanity!
:13:50
If we find the key to the human mind...
:13:52
every child will be
educated in my method.

:13:55
Every great mind will be ours to mold.
:13:59
Let's get them all
into the amphitheatre.
