From The Movie "Creator":

Peter O'Toole as Dr. Wolper, an eccentric university professor, trying to clone his dead wife. O'Toole lurches perilously through a chemistry laboratory, bludgeoning everyone around him with his lethal charm. O'Toole plays a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who lives in the grip of an overwhelming obsession. He believes that he will someday learn how to clone the genes of his wife, Lucy, who died 30 years ago. O'Toole steals equipment, funds and laboratory assistants from his university, although not without the bitter opposition of his lifelong enemy, Prof. Kuhlenbeck (David Ogden Stiers). Soon after the movie opens, O'Toole gathers two new recruits to his side: a young lab assistant Boris (Vincent Spano) and a nutty undergraduate (Mariel Hemingway) who has a giant crush on O'Toole. Boris pursues the lovely Barbara (Virginia Madsen) with somewhat greater alacrity than his degree. The following conversation develops between Boris and Dr. Wolper after he starts to get to know Barbara:


Boris: How did you know when you were in love?

Dr. Wolper: The Love Formula. Add up the number of times that you think about the lady each day. Subtract from the total the number of times you think about yourself each day. If the remainder is more lady, and less yourself, then it's love.

Boris: Oh, I've been thinking about Barbara a lot lately.

Dr. Wolper: What's so very neat about this particular formula, is that "a lot" plugs into it beautifully. Boris, would you and the subject of your computations care to join me at the beach house for the weekend?


At Dorkfest2006, this movie was a featured attraction. That's what they get for naming me head dork for the third year in a row. :)
