Previously on Ally McBeal.

You think about picking up
where we left off?

-We didn't leave off anywhere.
-Don't you miss me?

I'm in love with you. I broke off
my engagement because of you.

I can't not be out with that.

What happened that night
you went to bed with him?

I lost control, that's all.

-I beat you.
-You've never really beaten me.

Well, hello? I beat you.

Even if you have, you are
not gonna win this one.

-Wager.
-Name it.

-One-hour foot rub.
-Make it two.

We're soul mates, Ling,
and we'll probably get back together.

-You think?
-Yeah. We're emotional guppies.

Eventually, we'll always reunite
in the shallow end of the pool.

-I'm having an online relationship.
-You are?

I don't like sex.
This kind of works out perfectly.

Why did you sleep with me?

What I felt for you that night,
I don't feel now.

I don't believe you.

[ Sighs ] Ally, I think I'm having
your mental problem.

-Which one? I have many.
-Well, whenever I--

[ Classical music ]

Look there.
What do you see?

-Jackson.
-Nelle?

-Jackson.
-Elaine?

[ Gasping ]
Oh. Never mind.

-What do you see?
-Well, I see him,

but he's moving
in slow motion.

-[ Ally ] He is?
-[ Ling ] Completely.

He's not really moving
in slow motion, is he?

Ling, how long
has this been going on?

A few days.

-And Richard, hen I see him--
-[ Elevator Dings ]

[ Fast Tempo ]

-He goes fast.
-Ah.

Not always.
But Jackson--

-[ Classical ]
-[ Record Scratches, Stops ]

-What does this mean?
-I think you're in love.

-What? Well, how do I snap out of it?
-Hmm.

Mr. Stoller?
John Cage.

Uh, yes. Uh, thank you
so much for seeing me.

Uh, how may I help you?

Well, my wife, Cindy,
passed away two years ago.

We'd been married
three years.

She was hit by a car on
our anniversary, actually.

Cindy and I always dreamed of
having children together.

I would like to fulfill her dream.
Our dream.

But there are obviously
some roadblocks.

First being she's dead.
Uh--Uh, I apologize.

You are new to me,
and, uh--wh--

Could you just tell me
what-what-wha--

How would you go about?
Did-Did she leave her eggs or embryos...

-No.
-...behind?

This wouldn't be Cindy's child.
Technically, it's--

Technically, it's--

I would like to clone her.

-Did you hear me?
-I did.

The technology exists,
though they don't like to talk about it.

I found a doctor who
would be willing, but--

-To-To clone your dead wife?
-Yes.

Scientists are already
secretly trying this, Mr. Cage,

and I had prepared
to covertly attempt it with Cindy.

-I kept some of her tissue cells.
-Ah.

-And hair.
-Yeah. Pe--

-And some blood.
-[ Humming ]

I have the D.N.A.
Why do you do that?

It's--Is it even legal?

It's never come
before the courts.

My sister-in-law got wind of it and has
hired a lawyer to get an injunction.

That's why I need a lawyer.
She's going in today.

Yes, but, Mr. Stoller,
uh, I mu-must tell you.

And I'm sure your wife
was a very nice woman.

But the idea of cloning,
it's just--it's-it's awful.

Please.

I have nowhere else to turn.

And you've been up against this lawyer
before, at least I know your firm has.

-Who is it?
-His name is Larry Paul.

-[ Tires Screeching, Cars Crashing ]
-I am told he is quite good.

Oh, Ling. Hold on.

-[ Laptop Whines ]
-Hey.

-Was that him?
-It was.

Nelle, how can you really
date a guy online?

Why can't I? Our relationship is
mainly about communication.

This works out perfectly.
We talk. We laugh. He doesn't stink.

What about... it?

-What... it?
-Sex it.

I know you say you
don't really like it,

but a woman hasn't got true control over
a man until her hand is on the dumb stick.

I keep forgetting.
It's all about control with you.

-How's Jackson?
-How should I know?

-Still moving in slow motion?
-I'm over that.

Really? And why
did you come in here now?

To talk
about my computer date?

I came in here
to borrow some products.

But just forget it.

[ Fast Tempo music ]

-[ Elevator Dings ]
-[ Classical ]

[ Birds Chirping ]

[ Wizard of Oz:
"Wicked Witch's Theme" ]

-What was that?
-Beats me.

Ally. A second, please.

I just got a new case.
I'm off to court now.

-And Larry is opposing counsel.
-He is?

Now, truth be told,
I don't quite have a feel for him yet.

Any buttons I can push?

Well, John, I have a little conflict
of interest there, don't you think?

Well, I-I'm-I'm not
looking to date him.

I just want the upper hand
from a litigious standpoint.

Your duty does lie
with the client, of course.

-Well, yeah, but even so--
-You're telling me...

that you didn't use a little inside
information when you went up against him?

-Well, no, but--
-Okay, then why can't I?

It's for the client.

Just give me
one little nugget.

For heaven sakes, my case
falls deeply short on merits.

I just--I need something.

-Okay.
-All right.

With Larry,
it's all about rhythm.

When we argue, he likes to suck me
into this fast patter...

because he figures the faster we go,
the less likely I'll spot...

-what I'm about to step into.
-Okay.

He's vulnerable
without his rhythm.

Okay.

You're watching In Your Dreams
with me, Cindy Margolis.

Michelle Garris is an inspiring actress
who emailed my website

asking for advice on how to break
into Tinseltown.

Do my knee.
Oh, Ling.

Just do it. Hah.

Well--[ Blows ]
No! No. I won't be used.

We can't deny our passions
any longer, can we?

You want me,
and I want you.

-So let's just be honest.
-[ Grunts ]

You do my knee...

-[ Neck Cracks ]
-...and I'll give you hair.

Uh, you're-you're pinching
my spinal--my spinal cord.

-[ Neck Cracks ]
-Ohh!

[ Sighs ] Okay, wha--
What's going on?

Fate. We're meant
to be, Richard. Why deny it?

-You don't like denial?
-No.

-Big fan of honesty?
-Yes.

Excellent. Let's be honest
with each other.

Got to go.

Ling, I went to L.A.
I had a wonderful time.

Hardly ever thought about you.

-All you think about is Jackson Duper.
-That isn't true.

Hey. Hey, listen. Listen.

People wanna accuse me
of being shallow or superficial?

Fine. I can roll with it.
But the truth is,

I know and understand human behavior
when it comes to relationships.

For the last month of ours,
you shaved your legs in the morning.

This is your treatise
on human behavior?

When a woman shaves her legs
before going to work in the morning...

instead of before getting
into bed at night, it's over.

No exceptions.

So... go to Jackson.

He's the man you lather up for.

First of all, cloning humans is
against public policy, and--

It most certainly is not.
It's never come before the courts.

People are against cloning sheep.
I hardly--

Public opinion has no business
swaying a court.

Second--
You never let me get to second--

Now he's making sexual references.
I really must object.

I beg your pardon?

"Getting to second"?
That's a sexual idiom.

Its usage was intended as such here,
and I take full exception.

I meant nothing sexual by it, Your Honor.

But if I could briefly get back
to the sheep--

Objection! There is no place for vulgarity
in a court of law.

-Move for directed verdict, forthwith.
-Forthwith?

Yeah. Object to the mockery.

You seem to be making
a lot of objections, counsel.

Let's just hear
what Mr. Paul has to say.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Second of all--
and forgive the vulgarity--

Mockery.

Even if you could
clone Mrs. Stoller,

that's not a choice
for Mr. Stoller to make.

It is too.

I'm sorry, Your Honor.
I anticipated a lot of case law,

but I find myself
totally unprepared for, "It is too."

Three times he mocks me. Move for costs,
sanctions, directed verdict,

plus an apology in writing,
preferably notarized.

Four times.

Mr. Cage, is this cloning
even possible?

It is, Your Honor,
and I can demonstrate it.

You'll have to do so.

First I wanna hear from your client
and why he wants to do this.

He can take the stand at 10:00 tomorrow.
After that, you can call your experts.

Your Honor, I'd also expect
to be able to call mine--

[ Nose Whistling ]

-[ Nose Whistles ]
-Very good.

I expect to call
my witness as well.

You may.
10:00 a.m. Adjourned.

-I'm not to be tampered with, Larry.
-Well, I can see that, John.

-Till tomorrow?
-Till then.

So are they together now?

No. Ling is still in denial
that she even wants him.

How do you feel about it?

She can have him, Ally.
That man runs about as deep as an inkwell.

Which means, I suppose,
Ling might drown.

[ Chuckling ]
Are you really okay?

-[ Door Opens ]
-[ Larry ] Hi, guys.

Hmm.
Well. Well, well, well.

-Working late?
-Yeah. Yeah.

As a matter of fact, I was up against
John Cage. Did you know that?

Did you know that?

I thought it was a rumor.
How did it go?

Oh. He was a little odd. I couldn't even
speak without him objecting,

jumping up and moving for sanctions,
calling me vulgar and-and--

You're smiling?
Why are you smiling?

No reason.

Ally, you're against smiling on principle.
What's going on?

-What's going on?
-Don't ask me.

Okay, fine. Then back to you.
What's going on?

[ Clears Throat ]
Well, um--Well, John,

he asked me for tips
on how to oppose you in court.

So I suggested
that he break your rhythm.

You know, since you're
a little useless without it.

Cute, but useless.

-You gave John advice?
-His client is my client.

-We sleep together.
-I realize that.

-You go behind my back.
-This doesn't betray you.

You're giving him tips on how to beat
somebody you can't even beat yourself.

-Here we go.
-Whose feet got rubbed?

-One time.
-You've never beaten me.

You're holding yourself out
as some expert with John?

No, I'm not.

Does he know you
could never beat me?

Excuse me?

John. As he relies on your expertise, does
he know you could never beat me?

That is not what you said.
You said that I could never beat you.

-Didn't he say that?
-He did.

You really think
that I could never beat you?

Never? No.
Just not... ever.

-Hmm.
-I love that smile.

-You like her smile?
-Adorable.

Not only am I gonna
beat you one day,

but John, with my advice,
is gonna beat you here.

-This case? On cloning a human?
-Yes. Yes.

As thou speaketh,
my feet itch-eth.

Good. 'Cause you're on.
Two hours.

[ Fist Hits Table ]
Excellent.

-You told him?
-Well--

-I'll lose my edge.
-No. You won't.

Now he knows I'm trying
to offset his rhythm.

He will be onto me.
I am aghast.

No. John, he said
that you could never beat him.

Not on this case or any case.

Oh, he did?

Yes.

And-And I bet him, John.
I-I bet on you.

He said that I could
never beat him?

Yep.

Uh--

-Never?
-Never.

Well, we'll just see
about that.

Yes, we will.

Indeed.

Nelle. I was thinking.

This online dating thing,
it sounds kind of cool.

-I can even date a man in Paris, right?
-Yes.

You can run as far away
from this office as you like.

-I'm not getting you- hooked up online.
-Why not?

-Because you're involved.
-I am not.

[ Classical ]

-[Music Stops ]
-How was I?

Oh. Very funny.

[ Hair Whooshes ]

[ Gasps ]
Larry.

Um--Uh,
what brings you here?

I'm on my way to court. I thought
I'd stop by and pick up John.

Might as well walk together.

Okay, okay.
This is one-upsmanship.

You happened by to one-up me,
to fiddle with my psyche,

and I'm not gonna
be fiddled with, Larry.

Well, I guess I'll walk alone then.
See you there.

Mm-hmm.

I saw the smirk.
It was un-supportive.

It was just-- You know, John,
is everything okay?

'Cause, you know,
you seem a little uneasy.

I am plenty easy. He just tried to one-up
me, and I don't go for that.

-Hey.
-Hey, Ling. How you doing?

Okay.

You feel like
having, uh, lunch today?

Oh, I would love to.

Um, I'm booked today,
but how about tomorrow?

Well, this whole week looks pretty lousy.
Next week sometime?

-Great.
-Okay.

-I'll have my assistant set you up.
-Excellent.

-Was there anything else?
-No.

[ Wizard of Oz:
"Wicked Witch's Theme" ]

We always talked
of having children.

I guess--I guess
I just want those dreams--

mine and Cindy's-- fulfilled.

Yeah, but, Mr. Stoller, you're not talking
about having Cindy's child.

You're talking
about cloning her.

That's my only option. I don't have any
of her eggs or embryos.

My only means of carrying on her
genetic legacy is cloning.

Now, you realize
that many people,

including Mr. Larry Paul, as he sits there
so dismissively--

Your Honor, with the court's permission,
I'd like to stand dismissively.

-Mock.
-Mr. Paul, sit.

Mr. Cage,
don't antagonize him.

Many people, uh, find the idea of cloning
people to be repugnant.

I know. But I'm not some scientist trying
to perfect the human species.

And I'm not looking to bring Cindy back.
I know I can't do that.

I'm looking to give rise
to the next generation.

-Of Cindy.
-She would want it.

And I suppose
I don't want her...

extinguished.

Thank you, sir.

-First, sir, I sympathize with your loss.
-Thank you.

But while you say you aren't trying
to bring Cindy back,

you are trying to replicate her,
aren't you?

I'm not about that.

Well, we're talking about creating
another human being...

with the exact genetic makeup,
the exact D.N.A. as your late wife.

This is different
from having a child together.

I know.

She will look the same,
talk the same--

Identical twins share the same D.N.A.
They're still different people, counsel.

Your late wife ever talk
about genetically engineered fruit?

-Yes.
-How did she feel about it?

-She was against it.
-Genetically engineered chickens?

-She was against it.
-But she would be open to the idea...

of a genetically engineered
identical twin of herself?

Objection!
It's not the same thing!

Not everything
is like chicken, counsel.

You're losing?
I didn't say losing.

-John, you have to win.
-Well, I think maybe he's got my number.

-How did he get your number?
-If you hadn't tipped him off--

-Oh, John.
-I have enough pressure...

without you just piling it on.

-What has happened to you?
-Oh, that helps.

You have never let anybody
get your number in the courtroom.

Get back to the basics
and find out what makes you great.

[ Folder Hits Table ]
I know what made me great.

-What?
-Him.

-Him?
-Him.

Barry White.
He doesn't come to me anymore.

Maybe Melanie
just scared him off.

-What's wrong?
-He can't find Barry White.

-Oh, fine. Tell everybody.
-John, I'm sorry, man.

You have to find him, John.

You have got to find
your greatness for this trial.

-How?
-I don't know how.

But remember, John,

Larry said that he doesn't think
you will ever be able to beat him.

Not ever.

Now, you have to dig deep,

because I am not
rubbing his feet.

Now, whatever it takes,
you find Barry White.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Come on.

[ Chuckles ]

Hey, we got it together, baby.

We really got it to--

Just come on.

-Nothing?
-No.

-Does Ally know?
-Uh, no. Never mind.

It doesn't help me
when I'm feeling pressured.

Could you just please excuse me,
give me some privacy?

Sure.

Just you...

and me.

Oh, balls.

-Well, how does this cloning even work?
-Oh, it's fascinating.

Basically, we harvest eggs from multiple
donors who we inject with fertility drugs.

We then take cells from the cloning
candidate, in this case Cindy Stoller,

and, uh--Oh, here's where it gets
really fascinating.

Your Honor,
point of clarification.

The witness previously said
it was fascinating.

Is it just now getting fascinating?

-I'm confused.
-I object to the one-upsmanship.

-Counsel is an ombudsman.
-A what?

-An ombudsman. It's when you--
-Never mind. Just continue.

Gladly. Then we suck the nucleus out
of each egg with a needle.

Lots of needles
at play in cloning.

We then take the sucked-out
D.N.A. free eggs,

and we place them
next to the donor cells,

in this case Cindy's,
and we zap them.

What do you mean you zap them?

Well, we fire off
a little jolt of electricity.

-Kind of like, you know--
-A bug zapper.

-That was gross.
-I was trying to get an idea.

No, you're trying to plant the idea it's
somehow comparable to killing mosquitoes,

and I find that gross,
even for an ombudsman.

Let's just proceed.

There's no jury here,
and you're both losing points with me.

All right, what happens to the cells
after you zap them?

Well, then it gets really--
It gets more fascinating.

When we zap the donor cells
and the sucked-out D.N.A. free cells,

they fuse together.

We now have new rebuilt eggs,
some of which form embryos.

We then plant them
in the surrogate mother,

and what may result from that
is a cloned baby.

And you don't even need
to fertilize it with cement?

Uh--Uh--Uh--Uh, semen?

No. No.
It's fascinating.

-But is it really possible?
-Of course it is.

Well, it's a long shot.

Most of the embryos
die off, I grant you that.

But it is entirely possible that
one--one-- will make it through.

We've already done it with sheep.
It's--It's feasible with humans.

Doctor, how far away is this technology?
It's here now, Your Honor.

Man is not waiting for science on this.
Science is waiting for man.

Thank you, Doctor.

Hey, Mark.

-Ling.
-Oh, drop dead.

If you have anything to say,
have your assistant call mine.

I don't even see you in slow motion
anymore, you lying little weasel.

I still see you
in slow motion.

Some other time.

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

What's up with you?

I'll fill you in over lunch
sometime. Good-bye.

Wait. Hold on. Hold on.
If you wanna talk--

[ Sighs ]

-Ooh!
-Yeah. Bygones.

Mmm!

-[ Leg Whooshes ]
-Stubble.

Excellent.

What is with you, Ling?
What's with me?

I threw myself at you,
and you completely blew me off.

Threw yourself at me?

I practically stripped naked and
launched myself out of a cannon.

-Where was I?
-Right there blowing me off.

-What?
-I asked you to lunch.

You know
how huge that is for me?

I've been in long relationships
without ever being nice.

I gave you a gesture.

A gesture? Last week I told you
that I was in love with you.

Yippee. Anybody can share a stupid
feeling. There's an unlimited supply.

You only get
five lunches a week.

And don't stare at me
like I'm crazy.

You're the one
turning all this down.

[ Wizard of Oz:
"Wicked Witch's Theme" ]

[ Tires Screech ]

Please. I've asked
for so little.

Now, it comes down
to closing arguments,

and I need you with me.

Together we can beat Larry.

Nobody but you...

and me.

of your career, damn it.

-[ Record Warping, Stops ]

This is why I start every day
with a bran muffin, John.

He was here.

-Who?
-Barry. Barry White came.

Forgive me if I don't try
to envision that.

It's my concentration level.

It's not what it used to be.
I can't get him...

if there are other people
in the room distracting me.

I used to be able to.

John, lots of people have trouble
dancing with make-believe disco behemoths

when there are others present.

But I could always get him
with people in the room or not.

I could walk down
a crowded street with him.

Nobody but him and me.

Now I'm unable, damn it.

-[ Grunting ]
-Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

This is what you need to do.
Get him alone in your hole.

I won't try
to envision that either.

Once you've got him there,
when you got him solid,

step out and practice keeping him there
when other people are in the room.

But I don't even
know if I can.

You will because you have to.

Like you say, without Barry,
what are you?

Look at that. You can't go through
your life as that.

You have no choice but to find Barry.
Spirits up, buddy.

[ Sighs ]

People skills.
That's why I'm in charge.

-Oh.
-[ Zipper Zips ]

That's no good.

They'd be taking her individuality,
her D.N.A., making a clone of her.

Your brother-in-law,
he loved your sister very much.

I understand that,
and we all love Kevin.

But this is perverse.
This is voodoo science.

Kevin, Cindy is gone,
and no matter what--

[ Buzzes ]

I apologize, Your Honor.

This morning's proceedings left
me with a throat irritation.

With the court's permission,
I would like to buzz...

the rest of my objections.

He wouldn't be bringing
Cindy back, Marion.

As it's been said, identical twins share
the exact D.N.A., for example,

-but they're different people.
-I get that. I do.

But before we start
taking organs from a person,

he or she has
to give consent.

And this is far more invasive,
to duplicate someone's D.N.A.

-It does go to their individuality.
-[ Buzzes ]

I apologize.
Was that mine?

I did not mean to hit it.
It's my mistake.

Well, wouldn't you want
to see your sister's genes carried on?

Mr. Paul, it wouldn't
just be her genes.

We would be making her.

It would look like her.
It would sound like her.

Any chance she'd
be in favor of it?

No. She was very conflicted
about genetic research to begin with.

The idea of harvesting
the baby of choice--

the eye color, height--
she found it repulsive.

And she would have
never wanted this. Never.

[ Buzzes ]

Hmm. Why do you
need my office?

It's a first date, Ally.

Well, I understand,
but you have a computer.

I'm nervous, so I'd
like a little privacy.

-Who is this guy?
-Well, he's from Brazil.

We e-mailed each other once to
say hello,

but this would be our
first meaningful conversation.

I've got a really
good feeling about him, Ally.

[ Sighs ]
Hurry up.

Oh!
[ Kissing ]

Hmm. [ Gasps ]
Well? Well, John? Well?

Stop with the pressure.

I'm the one who's gonna
have to rub his smelly feet.

-So just-- How did it go?
-The last witness went okay.

It all comes down to closings
which are at 3:00.

Did you find Barry White?

I'm going in search
of him now.

When I return, I will have the bastard,
hell or high water.

-Any sign of him?
-Never mind.

[ Gasps ]
Oh. Forget where your office is?

Well, yours is closer to court,
and my feet are a little achy.

I didn't feel like
walking all the way back.

Maybe you need a foot rub.

You think?
Know where I could get one?

Haven't a clue.

[ Gasping ]

-[ Laptop Quacks ]
-Elaine!

One thing led to another.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door Closes ]

Could you please stop
following me around?

Is that what you
think I'm doing?

Look, I didn't mean
to be blowing you off.

-I thought you weren't interested.
-Well, you were right.

You know what doesn't interest me?
Your-Your anger.

Why are you--

-Oh. Well, déjàà vu. Bygones.
-[ Zipper Zips ]

Yeah.

Ling, you have been angry
ever since I came to this firm.

I'm angry
because you lied to me.

I'm angry because I went to bed with you
after meeting you in the bar.

And it's hard to walk around
happy peppy all the time.

It's hard to be always
the cheerleader.

Yeah, well, I've wondered
how you do that every day.

[ Growling ]

Okay. It's obvious that we're both
a little bit ashamed...

of how we began.

So--
[ Sighs ]

Why don't we just
begin again?

You could be right.

Or wrong.

[ Sighs ]

-Jackson, my friend.
-Larry.

-How are you, Jackson?
-Oh, not bad. How about yourself?

-Can't complain.
-Okay.

[ Disco ]

What are your thoughts, Jackson?

I was just gonna ask you
the same thing, Larry.

[ Barry White ]
We got it together, didn't we?

We've definitely got
our thing together, don't we?

-He's onto something there, Jackson.
-Oh, yes, he is, Larry.

Nobody but you... and me.

-He's a funny little man, isn't he?
-Yes, he is.

-Well, I can get with that.
-What, that there?

-It's not a problem for me. You?
-Not at all.

-Shall we?
-Let's.

Of course
we're afraid of cloning.

It sounds like
Dr. Frankenstein.

The idea that we might
start harvesting body parts,

selecting D.N.A.?

It's horrifying.

We could have hockey teams filled
with Wayne Gretzky clones.

Somebody might cross
a pit bull with Mike Tyson.

The possibilities.
The horror.

The nightmare.

But the truth is,

every time
science is advanced,

it raises concerns
over the future of humanity.

Now, we already do
in vitro work, Your Honor.

We build embryos.
We manipulate genes.

Is cloning a step beyond?
Of course it is.

Does that mean we need
to be afraid of it? No.

We might be able to--to grow a heart
for somebody...

in need of a transplant.

A lung. This technology
could save lives, Your Honor.

Now, is there a risk of abuse?

Absolutely.

And let the court step in then.
But now there's no atrocity going on here.

My client knows the wishes
of his late wife.

He knows her dreams,
dreams they had together.

Now, cloning will allow them to carry on
the family legacy they hoped for.

Ethically, we have to be open...

to a science that will allow
a couple to have a child.

The question can't be
who owns her D.N.A. Can it?

Well, yes, it can, Your Honor.
And I remind Mr. Paul...

that a surviving spouse
is free to donate organs...

whether or not his wife indicated
she wanted to be a donor or not.

I say this just in case Mr. Paul was about
to incorrectly detour...

into some half-hatched argument about
the actual wishes of Mrs. Stoller.

No reason to believe he was actually
about to do so. He's a smart lawyer.

[ Clears Throat ]

You never know for sure when it's your
turn to speak around here.

It's your turn now.

He's not looking
to clone a...

new heart here or lung.

He's looking to clone
a human being. It's wrong.

Do I have a legal reason?
Maybe not.

But I certainly have an ethical compass,
as I'm sure you do.

He is trying to replicate his wife.
That's what this is.

I suppose, why stop there?

He could clone his mother,
the grandfather he never knew.

One day his kids might
get to play in a sandbox...

with the twin of their
great-great-grandmother.

Celebrities one day
might start selling off their D.N.A.

Imagine being able to parent Barry White's
identical twin brother.

[ Barry White ]
Oh, baby.

-[ Chuckles ]
-[ Record Scratches, Stops ]

I won't presume to know
where we should draw the line.

But when we have husbands
trying to re-create dead wives,

parents trying
to re-create lost children,

scientists developing ways
to create a superior human race,

somehow the line's
been crossed.

When technology begins
to take over reproduction,

when it starts
to invade evolution,

it's been crossed.

-[ Buzzer Buzzes ]
-[ John ] Oh.

There was a time we were appalled
by heart transplants.

The idea of a test-tube baby
was considered aberrant.

Then it became a reality,
and the public accepted it.

Gene technology
is in our future, like it or not.

And I don't have
the power to stop it.

There's a great movement to clone organs
to save lives, wipe out disease.

And that too
may become a reality.

But to clone a human being,
to duplicate somebody's D.N.A....

to harvest an exact match
of a person--

I agree with Mr. Paul.

Everybody has a different
set of ethics, I know.

But since mine control today,

the defendant's motion
for an injunction is granted.

We're adjourned.

I'm sorry.

Well, I appreciate
the effort, John.

And I'm sure Cindy
appreciated yours.

Thank you.

-The day is coming.
-No doubt.

I don't want a rematch.

-You wanna go to the bar?
-Nah. Not tonight.

-'Cause you lost to Larry?
-No, it isn't that.

Truth be told, I didn't really
wanna win this one.

Cloning?
I just--

I just wanna
be alone tonight.

Alone with him.

You wanna go for a walk with him.
Barry's back. I'm out.

No, it isn't that.
I just--

-Do you think I'm--
-Crazy?

Well, like you say, most people don't
dance with imaginary disco behemoths.

You're not crazy, John.
The truth is I'm a little jealous.

To be able to conjure something up
when the real world disappoints.

Go on.

Enjoy your walk.

-Hey.
-Hmm.

-Maybe the three of us could go.
-He won't come to me.

Well, let's just walk,
and we'll give it a try.

If he doesn't, well,
I mean, you still got me.

Well, I--That I do.

Yeah. Let's go.
