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
bushy
how do you read me over
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

Russia yeah yeah yeah this is Noi are
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
