But as it turns out, it is really hard to dispose of something that can hug you, look you in the eye, and say, 'I love you daddy'.""She could do that as a baby?"
>"Of course not! With a genius like me, of course it didn't long for me to figure out her intelligence, and from there it was just teaching her words and the alphabet like any other kid.">You couldn't stop staring at the picture."How did she go from that to taking up a room?"
>"Funny story. When I was putting the genes together, I threw in lots of other animals, you know, really mixed it up.""But wasn't it kind of... reckless?"

That's why you still have a job.">He puffed up his chest and stood up a little straighter.>"I like to take a few chances, get a little messy for science. Sure there were some screwups along the way, but the result can't be denied!""Doctor, you might want to sit back down in your chair."
