If I give Lester two cookies, and Bernice takes one away...

I don't know if you could come back in here.

You know, you missed a lot of classes, mister.

You got a lot of work to do before you catch up.

I'd like to speak to Miss Kinnian, please.

Lester, why don't you read aloud the story that we started yesterday, okay?

Well, dog and a boy...  I want you to come to Chicago with me.

I won't pull anything like I pulled last time.

No, I don't want to talk about that anymore.

I'm starting to lose things.  I mean, they're there, and then suddenly they're not.

It's like a motor in my head that's starting to run down, and I don't know why or how.

But you have to make up your mind really fast.

When Charlie Gordon first came to us, he was outside of society.

He was alone in a great city, without friends or relatives who could care for him.

Without mental equipment that would let him lead a normal life.

He had no past, no contact with the present, and no hope for the future.

In fact, one might say that Charlie Gordon was one of nature's mistakes.

A mistake that, with Charlie's own help, we have corrected.

Before you meet this remarkable human being, I want to show you where he came from, what he was like before.

So this videotape was made just over six months ago.

I ain't allowed to bake, because I mess things up.

One time I put a whole bunch of chocolate chips in the rye bread, because I like chocolate chips.

Gimpy says I pulled a real Charlie Gordon.

Other people can pull Charlie Gordons, too, but nobody like me.

If you could do anything in the world, Charlie, what would you want to do the most?

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Charlie Gordon.

Charlie, they're all going to have questions for you afterwards.

I hadn't seen that video before, and I feel like I just met an old friend whom I'd forgotten so much about.

I'm very thankful to Dr. Strauss and Mr. Stinson for all they've done for me, and to me.

But there are a few things that have been said today to which I take exception.

Dr. Strauss, in all innocence, described the old Charlie Gordon as a mistake of nature and a burden, descriptions with which many of you would probably agree.

I am not aware of any contribution that Charlie Gordon made to society before his operation, but to describe him as a mistake is unfair.

He would have given you his last crust of bread if you asked for it.

Which brings me to my next topic of discussion, the Charlie Gordon of tomorrow.

My intelligence has grown at a remarkable rate.

Will I be able to solve the problems of physics and medicine?
