I want to be a ballerina and dance on my toes.

I want to drive an 18-wheeler with a load of eggs in the back.

And I want to drive fast on the road with lots of bumps.

And when I get to where I'm going, I'm going to open up the back and none of them eggs will be broken.

And they won't even care about my damn legs or my damn head because I will be a big shot.

I think Charlie's the school's best candidate.

I need you to pick up that bread pan that dropped on the floor.

Hey, Mr. Donner always told you not to carry more than you're able.

If you think you can handle that load, surely you can pick up a bread pan.

I've got something better than breakfast.

We're going to the planetarium, so don't forget to pack a lunch.

I know I forgot to pack a lunch last time, but this time I'll bring some day-old bread from the bakery and everybody can have a sandwich!

That's sweet of you, Charlie, but that's not what I want to talk to you about.

Charlie, do you remember the other day when that man, Dr. Strauss, came to visit?

And the reason he was asking questions was because he's looking for someone to do an experiment with.

Well, it involves an operation, and a lot of things even I don't understand.

But it's very safe, and it's worked very well before, except it's only worked on laboratory animals.

This time, Dr. Strauss has permission to try it on a human being.

And if it succeeds, it can make that human being very smart.

Dr. Strauss wants to do the experiment to me?

But he was very impressed with you the other day.

There are other people that he's interviewing, and we still have to get permission from your mother.

She just has to sign a paper, and maybe after the operation, she'll want to see you.

So I can have lots of friends who will like me.

Now, I want you to take a look at this card, Charlie.
