A Zed & Two Noughts Page #2
In the seas there are uncountable
numbers of creatures.
Myriads of simply structured organisms,
whose ancestors began to appear some,
from among the primitive bacteria
and the first algae.
Oliver, I'm sorry about your bad news.
Can the zoo help?
- What are you watching?
- The beginnings of life.
- It's cathartic.
- What is?
Watching life begin.
- Yes?
- Yes!
'Cause I know how it ends.
- How does it end?
- With a swan.
- Oh, yes.
- And a white car,
a Ford Mercury,
registration number, NID26BW,
driven by a woman with flaming red hair,
surrounded by white feathers,
called Alba Bewick.
Then I'm sorry that
you'll find this film inaccurate.
Oh, don't ruin it for me, Fallast.
I'm going to take it in stages.
Needs absorbing.
I'm sure I must have got it wrong before
and I'm on the lookout for clues.
What sort of clues?
Gonna try and separate the true clues
and the red herrings.
I'm told, that all eight parts
of the second copy of this film
are out on loan as well.
Perhaps someone else
is also looking for red herrings.
Myriads of simply-structured organisms,
whose ancestors began to appear some,
from among the primitive bacteria
and the first algae.
Protozoa, primitive jellyfish,
sponges, coral polyps, colonisers.
Innumerable individuals
making the first oceans a rich soup,
ripe for the further and more
sophisticated development of life forms.
Oliver, entrez!
- Where is Oswald?
- Uh, he's just working.
Work consoles him, I think.
How did you first know my wife?
I met her at the zoo with my daughter,
when I took to Beta to the insect house
to watch butterflies.
Your wife said they should be let free.
She didn't approve of zoos, did she?
Why is your
daughter called Beta?
Alpha, Beta, Gamma.
I wanted 26 children.
Beta wasn't the first.
The first one died.
I had an infection, mercury poisoning.
Where I come from,
you take mercury to procure an abortion.
There aren't 26 letters in the Greek
alphabet, there's only 23.
- What's Oswald Deuce doing here?
- Watching an apple fade away.
How original!
- "A" is for...
- Angelfish.
- "B" is for...
- Butterfly.
Do you think that's wise?
There are too many of them.
Will they survive the cold?
This zoo is too crowded.
Bit too many staff, for a start.
Haven't you got anything
better to do than watch me?
Venus de Milo's been asking after you.
of her body rotting away
for nothing.
Or was it for some reason?
Where's this?
It's where I was born.
It's called L'Escargot.
Tell me what happened,
in detail.
You know what happened.
Paula and Griselda
were shopping for china...
