Dark Tide Page #2

It's been a year, honey.

You've got to talk to him at some point.

How about we do ourselves

a favor and stick to English?

Okay. What did he say?

He says he wants to meet.

He says it's urgent.

Have you forgotten

you two look cute together?

- We look cute.

- Look at you. He makes you laugh.

You're laughing already. Yes.

Come on. It won't do any harm.

Okay. Okay. I'll call him.

- Go. Shoo. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

- Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Bye-bye.

- Welcome aboard the Volante.

Looks like we got good weather.

It's only gonna be a 45-minute drive

out to Seal Island, okay?

- Okay.

- Where you guys from?

- London.

- Ah, London.

I see you got your camera.

Gonna get some good pictures.

- Thanks.

- I'm gonna have you wear this...

for your safety.

- Welcome to Cape Town.

- Thanks. Yeah.

Tommy! To...

Hey, guys.

Remember me?

Vaguely.

Hold on tight. And we're off.

Is this boat gonna make it?

With the correct diesel.

I'm sick enough as it is.

Don't start moaning already.

Gonna have it on again.

What type of sharks

do you think we'll see?

'Cause we've been learning

about the tiger shark at school.

- Take a look around.

- Listen to her, will you?

So, you see those two

war ships up ahead?

Well, they're here

because Simon's Town

is the main port

of the South African Navy.

- Oh, yeah?

- Oh, did you hear that?

- Do you wanna go and look at some?

- No. I wanna see the sharks.

Please yourself.

Look, there's a whale.

Tommy, slow it down.

Come. Look.

- Where?

- Right there. See him?

Oh, wow.

- That's a southern right whale.

- I've never seen one.

Do you have any idea

why they're called the right whale?

Because they swim on the right?

Well, they're the right whale

because they're high in oil...

and they're slow to swim.

That traditionally makes them

easy to catch.

Oh.

However, luckily for them,

they're protected now

and not so easy to catch.

Oh.

Listen. You hear that?

What does that sound like?

They don't sound like penguins.

Listen.

Sounds like your sweet mother on the loo.

What did you say?

- I said I can hear them. Can you?

- What?

Nothing.

Those are the, uh, jackass penguins.

- Oh.

- Mom, she said "ass".

Do the sharks eat the penguins?

- It happens.

- Oh, yeah?

- They eat husbands?

- Very funny.

What you have here is

the world famous Cape fur seals.

This is the largest

seal colony in the Cape.

And if you look real closely,

you just might see some little pups.

We just had a gang of them

born here recently.

There's about 10,000

of these little guys...

born here in the Cape every year.

Sadly, most of them

will never see their first birthday.

There's loads!
