Double or nothing
I can blow off one of its limbs.

:40:31
That one does seem to be unusually
intelligent and resourceful.

:40:34
But it's also defiant.
:40:37
We'll need leverage over it.
:40:39
Leverage? Over a man-animal?
:40:41
Man is a primitive species. . .
:40:43
. . .so we'll need something primitive
for leverage. Like food.

:40:48
What do you think a man-animal
would like to eat?

:40:51
What would he consider a treat?
:40:53
How the crap should I know?
:40:55
There's no way of knowing that.
:40:59
But before we educate it
on the machine. . .

:41:01
. . .we'll take it to the mountains
with a couple of the others.

:41:04
Let them think they've escaped. . .
:41:07
. . .and then we'll sit back
and watch it choose its favorite food.

:41:11
Yes.
:41:31
Look!
:41:40
Three days, and they still haven't
eaten anything yet.

:41:44
Precisely. Now that
the man-animals feel. . .

:41:46
. . .that they have
enough distance from us. . .

:41:49
. . .soon they'll find
their favorite food and celebrate.
