The doctor enters holding a bottle. Yardley jumps up.
Doctor
Good morning Yardley! How are you doing?
Yardley
Fine Doctor, what can happen to me?
Doctor
Do you know Yardley! Yesterday while experimenting I invented a solution, a solution which
can free us from our tensions we can be apes again like our forefathers.
During all this voice slowly rising
