Black Sheep Page #4

Synopsis: Growing up on the family sheep farm was idyllic for smart, sensitive Harry Olfield, except for some knavish mischief from cocky brother Angus, until their dad has a fatal accident. Fifteen years later, Harry has finished sheep-phobia therapy and his ICT schooling and returns. Angus buys him out, all ready to present the genetically engineered Oldfield sheep he bred with a ruthless team. When environmentalist Grant steals a discarded embryo, which has sharp teeth, he gets bitten by it, and thus the first to be infected with predatory hunger and a mechanism that turns any mammal into a werewolf version. Running for the farm men, Grant's mate, student Experience, gets teamed up with Harry and his boorish but gentle pastoral youth friend Tucker. They must survive both the bloodthirsty sheep and their creators, who didn't realize this yet but dispose of an antidote.

We're trapped.

Let's make that call.

Where's the other phone?

Uh, Angus's study.

- Locked!

- Here we are.

Angus:

You're alive.

I pulled it

from the wall.

What?

I thought, just keep a lid on things

till it all blows over.

Business community don't receive

this kind of situation very well.

They probably won't receive

being eaten very well eith...

What are you

doing in here?

You wouldn't understand.

I understand you've got a pretty f***ed

up idea of animal husbandry.

I'm taking back the farm.

Ah.

Golden boy thinks

he can do better, does he?

You wouldn't know

where to start.

Jeez, Angus, I couldn't

do any worse than you.

No, wait.

It's... one of us.

It's family.

What?

That's how we made

the advances...

human DNA.

Mine.

Ours.

You f***er.

Well, it was more of

a sperm sample really.

You wanker!

Necessity's the mother

of invention.

You've been bitten.

It's nothing.

Just some hippy.

You'll become

one of them!

- A hippy?

- No, Angus, one of them.

Only worse.

What are you

gonna do, Henry?

Kill me?

I'm your brother.

Experience:

They're almost in!

Mrs. Mac:

Upstairs, children!

Well?

The sheep are breaking in.

They'll tear you to pieces.

Oh, I don't think so.

Experience:

Henry, hurry!

Goodbye, Angus.

Experience:

Henry!

Come on, now!

There's another fire

escape around the back.

We can take Mrs. Mac's

car to town.

Look.

Mrs. Mac:

Now where does he think he's going?

The barn.

His plane.

He can't leave if he's contaminated.

It could affect the whole country.

Mrs. Mac:

You're hurt, dear.

Grant.

We don't know

what will happen.

- We've seen what happens!

- Stay calm.

You're a tree.

I'm not a tree!

I'm a f***ing sheep.

No, you're a man.

And your father'd

be proud of you.

Come on.

You two go.

I'm staying here.

What are you

gonna do?

I'm gonna stop Angus.

If you see me again,

you might have to...

No.

I still smell, right?

No, that's just

your aura.

How will you get

across the lawn?

You don't have a hoof like Angus,

they'll tear you to bits.

I'll blend in.

I am a sheep. I am a sheep.

I am a sheep.

Wait.

You go to town.

Show me how to use this

and I'll stay here.

Have you ever fired

a gun before, dear?

Well...

not as such.

Aim and squeeze, dearie.

That's all there is to it.

Besides...

I'll talk you through it.

You know, this hurts me

more than it hurts you.

We'll make a farm girl

out of you yet.

Come on.

Come on, darling.

Angus?

Stop, Angus!

Look!

We could have run

the farm together,

if you hadn't

ruined everything!

If you hadn't tried

to kill me!

Now it has to end.

What?

Come in.

Speak up.

Henry:

Hold him, boy.

Hold him.

Hold him, boy.

Get down.

Get down.

Hold him.

Hold him, boy.

What?

Tucker.

You're okay.

Oh!

What is that?

Just a little something

I picked up in the lab.

Should clear up your worms.

Fix your fly strike too.

Anyway,

pull your finger out.

We've got work to do.

Hold 'em, Dice.

Hold 'em. Good dog.

How much of

that stuff is there?

Not enough for

all of them.

Jeez!

Angus, it's over.

No, this is

just the beginning.

Come back!

My babies.

Have me again.

Methane.

Get in behind!

Last one.

There's a nice bit of

wool on that, actually.

- Reckon we should hang onto this one?

- He's a bit toey, but...

Could make good eating.

This is for you.

What do you reckon, boss?

Organic farming?

Nothing but trouble,

this modern stuff.

Better just to stick with the way

we've always done things, eh?

I've eaten a rabbit.

Mrs. Mac:

Blanket, dear?

Let's see how

we go, eh?

Snack?

- What are they?

- Mountain oysters.

Well, I do eat

a bit of seafood.

No.

Mm, it's good.

Of course

it is, dear.

You know you're eating

sheep's balls, don't you?

Don't waste it.

Henry:

They'll grow on you.

Mrs. Mac:

What is happening here?

Experience:
No seriously, you could

have an organic compost heap.

Or a worm farm.

Jonathan King

Jonathan King (born Kenneth George King, 6 December 1944) is an English singer-songwriter, record producer, music entrepreneur, and former television and radio presenter. King first came to prominence in 1965 when "Everyone's Gone to the Moon", a song which he wrote and sang whilst he was still an undergraduate, had chart success in Britain and the United States. The Guardian reported in 2002 that he had sold over 40 million records in his career. As an independent producer, he discovered and named Genesis in 1967, and produced their first album From Genesis to Revelation. He founded his own label, UK Records in 1972. He released and produced songs for 10cc and the Bay City Rollers. In the 1970s King became known for hits that he performed and produced under different names, including "Johnny Reggae", "Loop di Love", "Hooked On A Feeling" and "Una Paloma Blanca"; between September 1971 and 1972 alone he produced 10 top 30 singles in the UK. Rod Liddle described him as someone who could "storm the pop charts at will, under a hundred different disguises".While living in New York in the 1980s, King continued to appear on radio and television in the UK, including on the BBC's Top of the Pops and Entertainment USA. In the early 1990s he produced the Brit Awards, and from 1995 he selected and produced the British entries for the Eurovision Song Contest, including the winning entry in 1997, "Love Shine A Light" by Katrina and the Waves.In September 2001, King was convicted of child sexual abuse and sentenced to seven years in prison, for having sexually assaulted five boys, aged 14 and 15, in the 1980s. In November 2001 he was acquitted of 22 similar charges. He was released on parole in March 2005. In May 2017, he was again charged with historical sexual offences. more…
