Black Sheep Page #3

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.

to ground yourself.

You're a tree.

Come on.

A tree.

Your taproot extends

down into the earth.

My... my what?

That's your base

chakra.

Feel the energy drawing

out of the soil.

Can you feel it?

Yeah.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Come on, Henry.

The energy flows up

into your navel chakra,

your solar plexus

chakra,

into your heart chakra.

It spreads

to your branches,

your twigs, your leaves.

You are a mighty kauri

commanding the forest.

Look with

your third eye.

Totally relaxed.

Totally relaxed.

Get on the f***ing truck!

Nearly there, nearly there.

Go!

Go go go!

Watch out for the sheep!

Shoot!

Sorry.

What the hell's he doing?

Chainsaw.

Is it turned on?

- Prime it, prime it!

- What?

The pump thing.

F***!

Oi, Henry!

- Are you okay?

- If it weren't for my gumboot...

Who's driving?

- Jump!

- Both:
What?

Jump off, now!

Jump off! Ah!

Oh, sh*t.

Experience:

Wow, what a beautiful view.

- This is, uh, where...

- I know.

This is what?

Ooh, long way down.

I wouldn't want

to fall off there.

This is where my father

fell to his death.

Oh.

Sorry...

to hear that.

Oh, a sheep!

Is that a good one

or a bad one?

Oh, definitely bad.

That's not funny.

Animal flatulence is responsible

for almost half the world's

greenhouse gas emissions.

It's pure methane.

The Kyoto Protocol...

Kyahhh!

What do we do?

Well, reducing carbon

emission from industries...

No, what do we do about

raising the alarm?

My phone...

is in the truck.

Tucker,

what do you think?

Hoof it for the house.

Tell his lordship what's going on.

Is it far?

It's rough terrain,

open paddocks, hot day, no cover.

Yeah, I'd say

it's pretty far.

With about 50,000 sheep

in between.

Then what?

Then I get as far

away from here as I can.

You're still leaving?

I'm especially leaving.

Experience:
Oh, what if the sheep

get down there before us?

Then Angus is gonna have

some unexpected visitors.

Henry.

Well?

No sign of him.

The others have gone

out into the paddocks.

You cannot make a cup

of tea in this country

without some do-gooder starting

a petition to have you do it their way.

You help me in the lab.

And you,

get rid of that stuff.

Bloody animals.

You and your...

your bloody 4-wheel drives.

Think you own the road!

I do, actually.

Angus Oldfield.

What hole

did you crawl out of?

WEKA. The Whole Earth

Kollective Aotearoa.

I know all about

your Frankensheep!

Mother Nature spent millions

of years making sheep.

She doesn't need your help!

Don't talk to me

about nature.

Man made sheep

what they are today,

and I'm making them

what they'll be tomorrow.

If I was a sheep, I wouldn't

be anywhere near you!

If you were a sheep, I'd have you ground

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…
