  Speaker 11: He insisted, very well, wait here, I'll get rid of.
• 3:04
  Speaker 9: Him, Sir, Professor Blossom and I have come to see Jr.
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: Junior.
• 3:13
  Speaker 9: There must be some mistake. There are no children in
• 3:15
  Speaker 9: this house. I don't professor. What you feel pressing against
• 3:18
  Speaker 9: your belly is the muzzle of a forty five caliber pistol.
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: How shall we visit, Junior? How what do you know about?
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: I know everything? Shall we go inside? I warn you
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: on the contrary, I warn you very well.
• 3:35
  Speaker 11: This way this is.
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: The nursery, whereas Junior in the next room behind the
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: door with a panel in it. Very considerately furnished, one
• 3:56
  Speaker 9: of the ghost figures on the walls, blocks and.
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: A funny rabbit touching. All right, let's say him. You
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: can look through the panel.
• 4:12
  Speaker 12: Very hard.
• 4:16
  Speaker 9: Oh, he would have believed, Junior isn't very pretty, is he?
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: I was not concerned with esthetics. Why do you hire him?
• 4:26
  Speaker 9: Is a dangerous The world is not yet ready for
• 4:29
  Speaker 9: such a thing. Besides, I must study. As you can
• 4:34
  Speaker 9: see by his play, he is very young, hardly out
• 4:37
  Speaker 9: of the cradle. I am educating him with the nursery rhymes.
• 4:41
  Speaker 9: The brain is undeveloped. It must learn its behavior patterns
• 4:45
  Speaker 9: like any infant. You call that out, But monster an
• 4:48
  Speaker 9: infant Physically, of course, he'll never change. He is built
• 4:51
  Speaker 9: of chrome stealing glass. But his brain, that is my
• 4:55
  Speaker 9: wonderful instrument. Unlike a human, he has no heritage, no
• 4:59
  Speaker 9: basic in stints such as love or heat. These he
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: has yet to learn. In some respects, he is like
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: a blank tablet. What is written upon the tablet will remain.
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: You mean, he has no feelings. He will learn quickly.
• 5:13
  Speaker 9: And now, if your curiosity is satisfied, I trust you
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: will keep my secret. If anyone discovered open the door,
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: I beg your pardon the door. Professor, Very well, Junior,
