Cry of the Penguins (1971) - full transcript

A young london biologist spends most of his time pursuing girls rather than pursuing science. When the opportunity to go to the Antarctic to study a colony of penguins presents itself, he agrees to go, not so much for the benefit of science, but rather to impress the girl he has recently been chasing. The longer he stays in the Antarctic, however, the more he becomes truly interested in the penguins fight for survival. When the time to go home finally arrives, he is a changed man with a totally new outlook on life.

(Applause)

now the Ashton prize for ecological

biology to richard hard fits an informer

I got the right name yes where is he

mr. Forbush mr. Forbush mr. Forbush

I heard you sweetheart let's go for

good morning sir good morning they're

still here I take it you've met her Hut

yes he was smuggled a short and adora

got a leak yes. You've given her breakfast? she begins with all bran

protesting they're madly pulling spines

all over choppers

they're not have to pay our way you

wouldn't know you've never had to do you

want the whiskey separately oh it's a

scotch coffee as opposed to work now

there's well for you you also speak

fluent biology that's right the coffee

first then a scotch after that cream so

you're Queens that's right me too

postgraduate because would you not

prefer to see

so tonight just die I prefer to

concentrate on my humble stance

undergraduate of course there's a film

at the Forum tonight about a giant clam

about the size of the Isle of Wight

sucks

passengers from passing steamers it's

very scientific don't think my biology

is quite up to that here look I'm

finishing the end of the term we may not

be able to see much of each other

well that's a cross I shall just have to

bear shot down sugar

how long do speak oh not at all indeed

not you see I'm off of the upper reaches

of the Amazon very shortly to study back

life particularly the blood sucking

vampire witches every schoolgirl I was

eight pounds in those pants well it

could be the last great adventure

leaving soon perhaps well at the moment

it's the rainy season but I should be

there in month or two look neglect the

others concentrate on me Tomas actually

have to work under be a bluestocking

what was in the middle of the wet season

hey man ah how long you say you stay one

minute one minute indeed I probably you

say that 45 minutes ago man yes but

they're not Stephan very nasty woman

indeed man with a green and yellow

melancholy should be drinking shot rose

he sat like patience on a monument come

on that was shot it's after three

o'clock was not this love indeed you've

got a one-off model there fanny oh never

mind I expect you'll come round hope for

the best prepare for the worst above all

keep cheerful put in a word I love I'm

in the Good Food Guide now not the

latest directory oh come on

Dicky just kiss straight home Tara what

will you put the lock on the door for me

see you tonight

bye bye

taxi lady hey man now you wanna talk

with the other line

oh no indeed I'm moving but you're not

no this is a racial discrimination

indeed a matter for the race relations

for your chariot awaits man

thank you good morning hi

thanks for the ride

your teas jeredy come back how did those

keys go well I'm just sit there with the

city ground here oh yes indeed sir you

stopped on a pedestrian crossing sir yes

I can see that but you have come serving

in the pedestrian crossing regulations

of 1954 why is it you could she look at

well because my keys have gone stop

asking these doubtful questions just one

minute sir officer you are holding me up

you are obstructing the traffic have you

been drinking - drinking it stupid

question I never touch the stuff

I'd like to come along with me and take

a breathalyzer test if you want you

very nasty very nasty woman indeed all

right Jones I sorry

right sir I tell you this is a complete

nutter wasting time that's right sir

just blow in the back the ten seconds

really please it 35 okay

oh thank you sir

Kostas bail seems to be going up with

the cost of living not really sure it

goes up with the frequency of the

offense something like a receipt over

this will you please write good morning

ah terribly kind of you to fly together

I cannot help but agree with you it is

extremely kind of me he's also in Thalia

character there are seven your receipt

ah Thank You sergeant

however you should thank the college

computer for it not me I did not be into

the fact that its selection for the 2:30

in Newmarket came out of alpha plus you

would have stayed in the Nick turn up to

the computer he's my Colin would you

like to share a taxi yes I will share a

taxi

I will also accept your check

thanks for the hospitality

I was of course young one Smurfs no I

suspected it sir shall I make it out to

cash

and I can well understand from a hazy

recollection Lee urged cohabit with

every girl student in sight but what's

the dead embodied but it means very

little time to pursue anything else your

trouble is far too much money then thank

and no parental control but it so

happens that the one object of my

worship is tilt mine - sir is you divide

academic talent you know very well what

I'm talking about and it's rare to find

anybody with your upbringing with so

much I you miss me yes you did say that

if x squared in Parliament Square please

far side or bush we cannot stop the taxi

of life at will and no sir

we must pay the fare

oh don't worry about that sorry dis wish

I could do something in return

you can't Oh tomorrow afternoon

professor tricking is giving a lecture

on the Antarctic or something do nine

ears of course it's a bit of a fanatic

isn't it

Tringham is an old friend of mine and I

should like to see him well supported

and I'm to be one of the prongs thank

you you're very far from being my

favorite student Forbush very far you

are an exhibitionist of the first water

with all the tasks that go with it but

you happen to be potentially an

outstanding biologist now remember this

for Bush sex and scotch in either order

do not apply olive trees to make

professor Tringham tomorrow afternoon

don't forget hi sport stir huh

DuPont rope you into do you realize we

should be in there

give us time to work up a good first

I'll see you later see there they are

then after traveling for weeks across

sea and snow and ice back in the Rookery

back on the same nest as last year then

comes what are you that pole the villain

of the piece the great skewer cataract

our skewer note the strongly hooked beak

the length of body over two feet 20 full

e formed with a wingspan of nearly 5

feet they're solitary birds outside the

breeding season preying on other

seabirds harrassing them forcing them to

disgorge their catch

though accomplished fliers they swim

badly and dive with difficulty study him

closely because in the lifecycle of the

penguin that was absent during the

period when the eggs are being incubated

even as the young penguin chicks lunch

their way out of the shellfish seen and

heard for the first time in a condition

of total dependence it's then that the

skewer bird plays a part that seemed so

happy

hello tyre my love I very sorry I had to

leave you so abruptly yesterday but he's

been really out of us stupid man you

must tell my father he happens to be one

in time maybe I come to love him too Shh

came to listen to the lecturer forget

about the frozen myself I'll soon be in

the sweltering humidity of the lower

reaches of the white nile that's two and

a half thousand miles of cannibals and

crocodiles are waterfalls waterhole

Stevens and Paul I don't let her study

the crocodile in his natural habitat top

the upper reaches of the Amazon this

morning you are going to study

blood-sucking vampires they've all been

signed up for horror film the crocodile

but it could be the last great adventure

could be planned for you why don't you

go down and make it and fend off all

intruders but there's one particularly

striking point I'd like you to remember

not all the skewers live of penguins

just a few of them operate a kind of

avian protection racket and say in

effect the Penguins will keep the other

skewers off in return for a fair

percentage of your eggs and chicks this

ensures the survival of a sufficient

number of penguin chicks

after all that rubbish how about a drink

ah poor Bush you were you attended the

lecture then yes oh good then

undoubtedly you could do with a cup of

tea what are your intentions for the

future for Bush that is always assuming

they don't send you to jail well insofar

as I thought about it at all I rather

inclined towards becoming part of the

brain drain to the state mm-hmm I'm

sorry to hear that

well I don't fancy staying here on 750

pounds per annum rising by annual

increments of 10 pounds till I earn

1,200 or whatever it is mmm but your

aunt left you some managing here my

grandmother well then you owe it to

science to take on some important if

poorly paid project some sort of field

well man anything in mind

professor hmm ready for consideration

let's think you just pick something out

of the air well for example the New

Zealand government Department of

scientific was airship asked us to

recommend a candidate for the job making

a detailed population study of the

Adelie penguin rookery at Cape Royds in

the Antarctic

I see penguins and I thought you were a

simple straightforward absent-minded Oh

professor you know as research goes this

is something of a plum we've already had

over 60 Africa I didn't know there were

that many penguin fanciers it's the call

of the Antarctic with all its variant

associations shackled stopped great

white son

I surprised you couldn't make it the

White Nile or the other reaches of the

answer

I don't grandfather never mind professor

it'll be quite alone living in

Shackleton's old hat the one he built

her on the expedition of 1907 aren't you

always saying adventure is what modern

man means yes but I hadn't brass monkey

latitudes in mind how does one get to

kick lawyers I rather think one flies to

McMurdo Sound and from there on it's

Huskies and helicopter helicopters

musket mmm he wouldn't miss your driving

license now wouldn't the New Zealanders

sooner have a fellow with an unblemished

record not necessarily as a matter of

fact I've already strongly recommended

you for the job but of course the the

final decision must rest you I'd like to

oblige professor but I'm simply not the

sub-zero type I'm very sorry

hello darling

George coughing nice tire much enough to

tear over there traitor

hello sporty you get to join you why not

just leave him as a matter of fact you

bought kept me

he's just handed me research plum of the

year no kidding

yeah so it looks like goodbye for the

last time before I take off to tread in

the footsteps of Scott Shackleton if it

after you beat up the answer down the

Nile well I decided to give the

Antarctic priority Antarctic that's

right it'll be the first attempt to

discover the causes of the instability

of the penguin population at Cape Royds

is that why you went to trims lecture

just think of it alone quite alone six

months in the great white silence

definitely accepted it then what

no intention of going anywhere near the

South Pole

unlike star star sure what's this Oh for

me a like I'm all if you program down

there dick knee in the Antarctic

they only be a couple of hundred miles

away from you that's nothing these days

by hot ski by husky um I drop over come

Christmas time they don't believe it

of course you bet just because stars

deafened everyone great white sad don't

forget our date tomorrow night star I

hear there's a good film at for me but a

giant ball Fanny no I shan't forget you

for this - shot you know you're only

being brave fighting back the tears i

hollow laughter I know you don't want to

break down in public let me take you

home and you can go to pieces in my

hands explorers

goodbye why don't you go in back to get

yeah I want to show you my new set of

ignition keys this you think I'm a

pusher but don't you ran word one smile

and the Sydney little thing is going to

be flat on her back

well it takes more than a gust of wind

to do that widget for Bush and that's

where you are

wind empty we a whiskey our house yes a

large one

very nice very nice indeed sir putting

it on the table sir

hello class pic' - professor - what this

yes it's very important

so let me say mr. Forbush without

further preamble about a new

consideration of your scientific

attainments capital cause from what we

heard about you for mr. du port we

consider you to be the most fitting

applicant we've interviewed well they

have a lot to offer you the past

thank you will be set down at Cape Royds

by US Navy helicopter on the 16th of

October the 16th of October um let me

see

Thanksgiving Day Canada Columbus Day Oh

the 19th Sunday after Trinity do you

attach some special importance to that

fact mr. Forbush no sir

absolutely not you should endeavor to

have all your biological equipment on

field stores sufficient to support

yourself and your research for a period

of up to five months ready for that date

the Antarctic sir you sir what the hell

am I to take very quick I can't live on

bully beef or biscuits for six but not

you Sam let's think now be the Antarctic

ah what study that's warming anymore

India I mean Larry Todd well you

wouldn't expect them to suggest I was

clean sir would you not for where you're

going I suppose not and it's what you've

done for 2,000 tins of Malaysian curry

made your van freeze Bengal chutney

you will need papadums and of course

some some Bombay duck now not for

variety how I got breasts of quail in

wine jelly

most nutritious earth will there change

tool doesn't wrists by the way so where

will you be staying in Shackleton's old

heart Rhianna sir how interesting I seem

to remember hearing reproduce and ethics

but this

as well with breast quail in wine jelly

eaten legend Thursday sir

then it tasted too I believe see what

next

oh yes would you come over here son yeah

I put you down for a few John's about

this muga caviar yes your may indeed

thank you thank you very much

it should keep beautifully and at all

that ice oh do stop clicking your tongue

Richard how's the physics these days

biology what oh yes before I have been

doing postgraduate research for two

years now in the lungs and ear it's

possibly long enough for both of you to

be aware of that you might like to know

that I am flying to the Antarctic in a

few days time or bed work to observe a

colony of penguins well why not observe

them in the zoo here sir not quite the

same thing as it happens well do be sure

to wrap up probably don't know what

those places are like I shall be gone

for six months it's going to be tough

well you're mr. worth of the one day

here that's something

answer that funny when you darling and

if it's the butcher I only want two lamb

cutlets hello Oh congratulations else

for either somebody here would like to

talk to you

Tyra you're killing this I am you really

mean I do all right

yes unfortunately but I suppose I owe

you an apology then any person I cannot

view an incentive I shall be a long time

away I can rock it humble pie isn't

really your dish I went there today No

if you like I'll be there no it didn't

order the lamb cutlets Richard don't

stop out too late the night you know

your mother can never sleep until you

get in father

I shan't be back tonight if you recall I

haven't actually lived here for the last

two years I live in a flat in London

mm-hmm quite right - what are they

saying man is tired of London is tired

of life

okay I think they're waiting to expect

you

Berry's birthday he's my nephew then my

next and final trick but a bit of

disappearing without please come along

excuse us

he looks like Santa mate is not hasn't

got the proper helmet can't go yet but

without your award right you wanna come

in here yeah children around

I'm sure honey come on turn your back

I said turn your back there Christopher

patron saint of all travelers I

understand he's still reasonably

effective even if he has been demoted I

understand exactly how he feels

never thought you've really go cut major

you oh yeah my house could get me to the

frozen edge of the world to be alone

with a lot of birds and tuxedos not your

ego you

well I don't seem to have organized

myself too well do I I meet you one day

and leave you the next that's a grim

prospect all that ice I don't kind of

hunger to get back in one piece here

we'll of course you will I feel rather

like poor captain Oates you remember

what he said when he walked into the

blizzard to die I'm just going outside

and maybe some time

is that anyone at home

captain Scott sir

I wonder if I ruptured myself they pull

me out of this hellhole but they merely

fly me out of trust

according to previous abloom is the

first penguin thrive on the 18th or 19th

October there apparently as regular as

clockwork so down it final the record

exactly when they arrived at the clock

interval

it's not raining hello that is ed Lyr

Cape Royds calling zlq Scott fais how do

you read me over ringing you're fine mr.

Forbush only part is over I know what /

- bushy you don't have to shout ha sorry

/ settle in yet just like home there are

certain primordial differences but

you're missing your electric blanket

that is the least of my regrets as far

as bed is concerned at the penguin shown

up yet no not a sign of them well

perhaps they won't turn up this year as

they decided to spend the summer on

Miami Beach instead don't worry they'll

be there very messages I haven't thought

about it yes all right one fine shoot

it's to miss taro Luke 16 Oh Church

Street London sw3 yeah what's a message

here it's Christmas every day sign

captain Scott okay anything else no

thank you

don't do anything I wouldn't do oh it

has to be joking

well Tyra here aya Milo in the middle of

the frozen wastes without even the

number 11 bus in sight nothing but

claret white Burgundy

foie gras tin noise and of course Krug

61 sustained me against the ferocity of

the elements oh here I said waiting for

the first penguins and I Scott there's a

mascot base this is Error why are Cape

Royds coatings nlq Scott bears how do

you read me over Hugh Scarface I'm

reading your Marik creep or sheep how

you get enough I'm not at the point it's

not a ghost of a penguin have you hadn't

report on the Icebreaker not really

there was a fight in from Christchurch

couple of hours ago they said it was

clearing off of both

thanks Alex I suppose that something any

message with the bird no not today okay

take care

well if they're so strapped to the light

force that they have to find their way

back here to this refrigerated graveyard

every year that's their bad luck god I

wish they'd get here and get it over

last you all wherever you are

most revered and welcomed bird I greet

you well I bid you are welcome to the

kingdom of 4motion the perfect place for

a honeymoon

thirty two three four

yes 1334 pick on me 1996 1997 1998 1999

2000 you you you I want to congratulate

you you are mm spank him to arrive on

these shores this wins you a 2 ounce can

of hickory-smoked floater paste take it

take it take

take it I promise you put it on toast is

delicious right there

now that we are all present and correct

I want you to know that I consider you

to be as fine a body of penguins as I

never had the pleasure to review because

I've always thought to the smart penguin

here's an efficient penguin now I want

you to look at me not even is your

commander that has your father they

don't always come true and it's got your

problems with it as it were

penguin first so then the order of the

day is be fruitful and multiply and the

book of bedtime is loving a cold climate

hey you two wait for it my new neighbors

are settling in very nicely Terra

he's having a reckless fashion mum has

found her way back to exactly the same

heap of stones she nested on last year

well dad rushes around repairing with

the lapidation z' of the winter

single-bird usually mail had strict

skywards flippers moving slowly known as

the ecstatic display for the benefit of

unattached female looks or is it the

Mitchell display yeah right first time

you've got to be hitched to mutual

display

penguins aren't so different from humans

they have the same problems of living

space same squabbles across the garden

wall and when some Joker tries to put

another bird there's the same yes I knew

you'd have to show some time I admire

these birds more every day

the sheer guts in tenacity their daily

penguin takes some beating as for me I

feel well enough you may not believe it

Turner but I think about you a lot

sometimes I forget what you look like I

shut my eyes I try to thank you back to

me suddenly I can see you again and I

think what the hell are you doing down

here alone at the cold end of the world

easy

lap times already cut tabs on you lot I

know most of your pretty face huh same

nest and same mate every year there are

some of you don't play the game you will

also kill and dissect a certain number

of penguins with particular reference to

blood supply to the moon's thickness of

blubber layers and the condition of the

reproductive organs and to judge by the

color of these stains I'd say you'd used

up most of your food reserves so easy

easy merit

come on little penguin I have to know

what these blubber reserves are sorry Oh

still find out so what's changed what's

the difference

hey nice could you write a couple of

letters for you here and then there from

a deep frozen lava thank you to Ian

Julian come on

hi there I brought some ale yeah you're

from the enterprise out in the sound

they told us that Scott you were out

there we thought we'd come up and have a

look-see well there's not much to see

now is that where they all go away I

guess they didn't like the chopper too

much that's a fairly shrewd guess how do

you know I know that it's unimaginably

difficult for the Penguins to walk God

knows how many miles over the sea and

ice on three-inch legs then spend forty

days starving well they caught a ride

build their nests copulate and incubate

the eggs before they can get back to the

sea and break their fast I also know

that what makes it incredibly more

difficult for them is to be blown out of

their nests by a bloody helicopter see

fella

we're sorry me too I've been waiting a

long time for these birds he wouldn't

understand

what at all sure that I do come up to

the hut for a drink yes Cheers

uh would you chance man hanging on a bit

I just want to finish a letter and I'd

be obliged if you take it with you oh

sure no problem

wretched Birds means scattered over this

benighted landscape right it's a black

pepper I've used up so much courage

already they'll be able to find enough

to come back I'm afraid you were drop

these and the mailbox the Scott base for

please I will do better than that we'll

send it from the carrier thank you

more ginger beer uh no I guess not

we'd better be moving otherwise our

engine will be surprised thanks all the

same

oh and sorry about the Penguins yeah

alright films no no never forget it so

all thanks for the drink Ksenia I know

and thanks for the mail our pleasure

bye jeez that kids in a bad way did you

see all that was bottled they call up

Scott fais what could they do

why in a psychiatrist fucking kite to be

Oh in revenues in context find in the

heart

able to write at last penny had to go

back home I was on my own all Saturday

and Sunday is there any place quite as

lonely as London at weekends we had a

party on Monday so of course the fridge

had to pack up imagine it a party and no

ice anywhere Marvis thought do you know

Julian Doughty I'm going out with him

next Thursday

he's something in a merchant bank which

at least has the novel advantage that he

has to bath regularly so much for the

garetty's of the capital I hope some

Christopher's doing his stuff now you've

proved your point

can't you turn round and come back again

then we might get to know each other I

agree

Tara the girl you left behind you

well chaps here ever so humble there's

no place like home

now we're getting somewhere

first a very fast egg

well Tara all the eggs are Lehane and

now the hen penguins are off to the sea

to recover and to catch food for their

chicks

they'll be away for two or three weeks

so now it's the old man's turn to sit on

the eggs nothing to eat and nothing to

do except watch and wait life is never

easy for them Tara no sooner were they

and a left appeared so they came again

we can skin and devour a penguin with

one movement of his powerful art but not

this time and later off the girls went

for a rest their first square meal in

weeks

well so far I've counted fifteen hundred

and sixty seven eggs it's not bad for an

on battery system is it

forgive me if I'm becoming a bit of a

drag but every day I seem to be getting

more and more involved with these odd

little characters well once more the old

sleeping progress box so good night

terrible I'll be back to you in the

morning

how are you ready yes coming we're late

sweetie the curtain goes up a date ready

sorry to keep you waiting Tara the

skewers when I woke up this morning they

were already attacking the exes we're

going to be late

I hate you bloody skewers I could be so

good without you forget it What did he

say you're here to observe nature want

to reorganize it no job for a man is it

incubating eggs still lose any more

weight I'll make you a photographic

model stand down the men and the girls

are back I know I know don't blame the

old man he did his best yeah

get your heads down hold your ground

but the best

there to help you stop face falling

better ly our Cape Royds come in breeze

over said lq scott base calling z ly our

Cape Royds

I say again come in Reese over I okay

come in please that our wire come in

please

over there help you stop base calling

been a while take boy to you all hey

bushy come in please

over say again dead elk you Scarface

kept roads calling xatoku Scarface or

we're speaking over I don't K bushy we

will lied about you we got a peak gust

130 knots here it must be much tougher

where you were

is there anything you need oh I'm fine

ah I could do with some surgical

bandages and some burn dressings

sometime okay

see when I can fix up everybody else now

no I don't think so

huh well it's got low you still around

right look after yourself

I'll do my best over not

how'd you get yeah I just happened to be

passing sport how would you get here I

got a mule train outside cheese whatever

happened to you boy you look rough hey

touch of wind plays havoc with the

Constitution one thing hasn't changed

around here you always were a snappy

dresser one thing I haven't missed out

here is a stand-up comic

now tell me it's Scott you're needed

some burn dressing so I brought them

along see if I get mr. Forbush to

prepare you an up and dressed one star

if you let any of those dogs loose I'll

cut it throat I swear it calm down sport

all right all right you know what those

dogs are like they're killers what don't

worry about them what's the matter with

you anyway

oh sorry I spoke they're just another

trick rich yes to my lads up where no

matter hard time up with the lizard and

the skewers and everything penguin foods

easy defenseless

touch just right for those bunch of

birds look do you think you do you see

what he's got there oh they've had 300

of them already

they're just creatures do like any other

they have to live who needs them

I could wring that blasted necks feed

the necks filming prussic acid happy

Christmas what yes happy birthday Jesus

Christmas star come on your hair looks

like it had quite a party

the blizzard blew the window in I'm

sorry I'm having the time or the energy

to do anything about it no matter of

fact I don't feel too great at the

moment what my grandmother would have

called poorly that hand looks bad give

it here capture the frostbite it should

be all right like a good nurse Oh Stone

the crows fault that must've been one

hell of a blow

sure was bluey that's hard sitting at

home nights waiting for you what do you

think I'll bet does she keep a light

burning in our bedroom window

what for everyone knows where it is I

expect you think so then I'll space for

I brought you a letter from her really

really you really are a fan of war

lovely

Merry Christmas sport here you are all

penguins are Merry Christmas just the

job your Christmas stocking no good

let's see what our company you can ever

do the Thoreau bit

I'll walk bid Cathy went and lived alone

I don't think he thought it worked out

either did you read your letter yet yes

honey girl sir

you mean you didn't get your outs before

you came out here come well did you did

you know as a matter of fact I got a

medal instead more exceptional bravery

in the face of the enemy what else well

how do you manage stir the birds I mean

how they don't bother me sport I'm a

practical sort of a bloke myself you

know sure come on then what'll it be the

only money in our sport

like anology calls nine months you'll be

home yourself in a couple when the

outside entire months is a long time

soon passes if you're not thinking about

something else you know you're a thick

skin sort of a fellow star huh

what's wrong with that at least I know

what's real and can stay objective

meaning I don't don't take the birds too

seriously

especially not these birds save it after

Tora

Orpheus it's been great having you here

tarah

so far they've massacred nearly 500 of

the original fifteen hundred and

sixty-seven chicks

God knows how few will survive to swim

away if only I brought a gun with me but

stop it I must so now I plan to build a

machine that will destroy them

skewer headquarters sure trebuchet is

near my fine-feathered friend I'd no

mistake about that

what happened to me have I gone mad or

something even I couldn't wipe them all

out next month next year

the skewer say in the Penguins will keep

the other skewers off in return for a

fair share of your eggs and chicks in

this way nature ensures the survival of

a sufficient number of penguin chicks a

Providence not to be despised by the

thinking scientists so in the end the

Penguins won through with the usual

heavy casualty but the usual number of

survivors the skewers have a place in

the system to baga nothing else yes

there is a patent error funny isn't it

the one unselfish and completely

disinterested act of my life was when I

tried to change it I fail you well of

course and I deserve to who was I to

take it on myself to put the balance

right last chap of the world if you ask

me I'll have an olive

after all our tribe Tara has

exterminated so many marvelous creatures

for no better reason than to clothe our

women and line our pockets of supply and

demand oh man doesn't seem to understand

economics at all does it

neither do i sir will you please another

thing what happens when we've finished

destroying the patent and only the human

race is left to inherit this poison

planet just tell me that Tara he's

asking us I said shut up you ask me he's

been alone far too long I think you'd

better go

Arno look sweetie after over any Goti

penguins take your burner hat and

umbrella and get out but I haven't got a

better hat and umbrella as far as I'm

concerned you've always had a spiritual

bloody bowler hat and umbrella so take

them and go your jobs Evelyn bushy

leaving us any moment they tell me

well it's been good to have you around

said goodbye to penguins yet well

they'll be back again next year

struggling over the same barren stretch

of ice to breed the next generation and

so it'll go on as long as there are

penguins and skewers and the will to

survive and what have I learned from it

all that every living creature depends

in some way on every other. Humans too. - I'm

not the same - myself anymore Tara well

I seen the sand to you and you to me
