O, O, O, O,
Mm, O, mm, O,
Bu, bu, bu, bu, bu.
Ku, ku, ku, ku, ku.
A, E, I, O, U.
The "Ortolan" is the name given
It is extremely rare.
When fattened for eating,
they are left in dark cardboard boxes,
and packets of grain are pressed to a hole
in the box, through which a light is shone.
The bird picks at the grain in the hope
of penetrating through to the light,
which he mistakes for the sun.
This goes on for several weeks.
When it has eaten itself so full
it is drowned in cognac.
Gourmets regard it
as an exceptional delicacy.
You will find vinegar
is an acceptable substitute for cognac.
Stay there. Don't move.
Come on. Swim out.
Come on.
Further. Go on.
- Help!
- Stop.
Swim back.
- Not far.
- Watch, Dad.
Although there are a few of them
available in tins in the better shops now.
Give me the radio.
So you have to learn
to tell a fish knife from a meat knife,
and a fish fork
from a meat fork.
If there's no fish knife and fork, use
the smaller knife and fork for the fish.
- If you make a mistake, just continue eating.
- This one's red.
- Don't put the silver back on the tables.
- This one's yellow.
Be nonchalant.
- The place for the napkin is on the lap.
- This one's brown.
Please don't speak
with your mouth full, son.
The fish or meat will be served
to you on your left side.
- This one's green.
- Take the serving fork in your left hand...
- This one's white.
- and the serving spoon in your right.
- Oh, there's another red one.
- Don't use your fingers-
You stopped again.
Come back!
He's all right.
Don't go out of sight!
We'll eat now.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! You're dead!
I'm hot!
The wheel's come off!
Dad, my wheel's come off.
The wheel's come off.
- Chicken or ham?
- Both!
I think I know now
what's making me sad
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
- It's ready.
- Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Quick, men! Duck!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
You're dead!
That's not fair!
He'll get away!
You're supposed to be on my side!
Shhh. Come on.
What are you doing?
Come on!
And bring him with you.
It's getting late.
I've got to go now.
We can't waste time.
Come out now!
We have got to go now!
I... have got to go now.
Can't- Can't waste time.
We can't-
Come out now!
Stay here.
What happened?
He said we were
to go on ahead.
But he said I wasn't
to go out of his sight.
He'll catch us up later.
Do you know where to go?
Yes, of course.
This way.
Who saw him die
I, said the fly
With my little eye
I saw him die
It's getting dark, isn't it?
Pass me that.
Aren't you tired?
A bit.
- Are we going to stay here all night?
- If you'd like.
Yes, please.
But we didn't bring any blankets.
I don't think
Where are you going?
In the bushes.
Whoo, whoo, whoo.
Lizards!
What you looking at?
I'm looking for a light.
Why? There won't be
anybody there.
It's time you went to sleep. You've
got to be up early in the morning.
Shall we take turns
at being sentries?
- No.
- Oh.
We haven't even got
any water, have we?
There's plenty of lemonade.
You'll have some in the morning.
Are you all right?
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Wasn't it nice last night?
Did you like it?
- Yes.
- I had a dream.
I know.
You kept fidgeting.
You're dropping everything.
- What?
- The ammunition's falling out.
I tore my blazer.
It doesn't matter.
Come on.
Won't tell Dad, will you?
No.
What's up here?
We can see where we are
from the top.
Well, where are we now?
We've just got
to climb that one.
- But you said-
- Then we can see where we are.
- But you said-
- Come on. I'll race you.
Oh, my legs ache!
There's the sea!
It's the sea!
A peaceful sea, isn't it?
Maybe.
What sea is it?
What's its name?
I don't really know.
Beneath the granite
and basaltic crust...
is the mantle
of iron magnesium...
and possibly
an outer core
You must have lost it
when we were going up the cliff...
to find out
where we were.
I told you it was
all falling out.
Are you sure it isn't
in your satchel?
Yes!
Apart from the scientific explanation,
the expectation that the world-
that is, that human society...
- will someday come to an end...
- It isn't there.
- leads me to believe that man is more...
- I've made a hole!
- than the complement of root and matter.
- Look.
- Go on. Have a drink.
- It is he who imparts dignity to the planet in which he lives,
- although not receiving importance from it.
- Leave some for me.
The idea that man has passed
through 10,000 years of trials,
in order that there might be, at last, a
perpetual succession of comfortable shopkeepers-
- I was listening.
- We mustn't waste the batteries.
Dad said they last
for 400 hours.
- Are you hungry?
- Not yet.
We ought to eat some salt.
Why?
Uncle Ted said, when they
were soldiers in the desert...
they always
had to eat salt.
It doesn't taste salty.
What are you doing?
I mustn't step
in your steps.
That means we won't
get home by tonight.
I'm fed up.
No, you're not.
Come on.
I'll tell you
what we'll do.
You walk in all the ridges,
and I'll practice my voice lessons.
Pu, pu, pu, pu, pu. Pu, pu, pu.
Pu, pu, pu, pu,
pu, pu, pu, pu.
Pu, pu, pu, pu...
pu... pu... pu.
Do you want a drink?
No. I'm not sweating now.
Oh, come back!
I can't walk down there!
It isn't fair!
Oh, please make him come.
I'm not coming back.
We've got to get on.
It's late.
I'm going now.
Please, please try.
It can't be much further.
It's silly to give in now.
It's getting late.
We've got to go.
We can't waste time.
I'll carry you for a bit.
You're awake now.
I'm what?
If you're awake,
you should try and walk.
You should try and help me.
I'm trapped too.
Look! What's that?
- What?
- That.
Who'll sing my song
I, said the dove
As she sat on a bush
I'll sing your song
You said you were
too tired to walk.
It tastes lovely.
It's all right.
It tastes like meat.
Today is Armistice Day.
At 12:
00, there will bea three-minute silence...
followed by a service
of remembrance.
Meanwhile, we rejoin Captain Steele
and Dusty, counteragents,
in another episode of "Enemy. "
Does drinking give you
a big, red, fat nose?
- Why?
- I was just wondering.
I've only been
over this road once before-
Is that why Dad's nose
is all freckly?
I don't know.
I've got a fly
without any wings in my cap.
The bridge is blown!
Brake, Captain! brake!
Did our car crash?
You must look after your blazer.
It's got to last.
Yes, Skipper, I'm okay.
We don't want people thinking
we're a couple of tramps.
What people?
Did dad tear his clothes?
Perhaps that's why
he sent us on.
And you've put a hole
in your pocket.
When are we going there?
- Where?
- Back home.
In a few days.
