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.

up for dog food, you little worm.

Now get the f*** off my land.

Ahh!

Henry:

They might come from anywhere.

And they might not.

Calm down, bro.

So this guy you're looking for,

is he your boyfriend?

- My boyfriend?

- Yeah.

- Is he your boyfriend?

- Grant's part of our collective.

We're a non-profit cooperative

that shares information

and resources about

environmental issues.

So what were you and your

boyfriend doing here today?

We keep hearing about

some cowboy lab

that's flushing every animal research

guideline down the toilet.

Scum like Astrid Rush

and your brother

need to answer to

somebody sometime.

For someone who likes animals,

you don't like people very much, do you?

I would have thought

that you of all people

would appreciate efforts

to deconstruct

the colonialist paternalistic

agrarian hierarchy

that disenfranchises

the Tangata Whenua

and erodes the natural

resources of Aotearoa.

Learn all that

at university, did ya,

before you dropped out?

I didn't drop out, thank you.

I just missed exams

while we were

occupying a poultry farm.

Anyway, that's none

of your business.

Henry:
Are you okay?

Rescue Remedy?

I don't need rescuing.

I need Dettol and a sticking plaster.

No thanks.

Fine, suit yourself.

Henry:

Wait, we should stick together.

Tucker, I'm sorry.

It's my fault you got bitten.

Don't worry.

It'll be...

oh f***!

I'll get a tetanus shot

when we get back.

- Clear it right up.

- But the sheep did that.

Then I'll get the vet

to have a look at it. It'll be fine.

Oh God.

Here they come.

- Don't wait for me!

- I'm not leaving you behind.

- What about the sheep?

- Well, f*** the sheep!

No time for that, bro!

Go go go!

- In here.

- Not in there.

Why not?

It's been here forever. It's empty.

- No it's not, bro.

- This is your brother's laboratory.

You got

a better idea?

Go home.

Get, go on!

Henry:
Come on.

Did you know

about this?

I just thought they were playing with

sperm or something.

Oh God.

Stand back!

Do it.

Tucker?

Jesus, Henry, are you gonna shoot me

if I end up like that?

- You're trespassing.

- Taihoa, Bo Peep.

What is this?

I told you.

Agricultural science.

This isn't science.

The sheep are revolting.

Aren't they?

- Now, Henry...

- Hey hey.

I'll take that as

your resignation.

Angus, what would Dad

say about all this?

He wouldn't say anything.

He'd be knee-deep in mud

with his hand up

a sheep's ass.

Your father was

My father fell off a cliff

chasing a wool-blind ewe.

Angus, there's something wrong

with the sheep. They attacked us.

Oh nonsense.

Your brother's clearly one

of these lunatic greenies.

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…
