Robinson Crusoe On Mars Page #3

"Yankee Doodle Dandy"]

- A supermarket that flies through my sky...

and it might as well be

in East Overshoe.

You can say that again, brother.

- [Mona Grumbles]

- What's your pleasure?

[Whining]

I think we'll make the early show.

Just keep your elbows off the table.

There you are.

Have some of that.

Are you hungry?

Good? You like that?

That's right.

[Laughing]

That's right.

All right. Once more.

Huh?

Don't eat too much. You know

we're on iron rations. Want some?

- Ouch!

- [Chirps]

You're almost human at that.

Bitin' the hand that feeds you.

[Man]

Instructional videotape number six.

Good old Woodward.

You used to be about as interesting

as a common brick.

Now, Professor,

I'm glad to have you aboard.

This second phase of survival,

finding water...

will deal with locating

water on another planet.

Since no one has landed

on another planet yet -

- Oh, is that so?

- We will have to proceed...

with hypothetical knowledge

from our studies here on Earth.

- I can give you a tip from here on Mars.

- Water is where you find it.

Like gold.

The thing is to know where to find it.

And you must make sure it's potable.

- Don't drink seawater.

- No seas here.

Seawater's too salty.

So's urine.

- [Squawks]

- Rain and snow...

become groundwater

and sink in under the ground.

- No rain. No snow.

- On some dry, desert planets...

it may be possible to crush rocks...

and extract latent water from them.

Good night, Professor.

Thanks for the heart-to-heart.

[Wind Whistling]

[Chattering]

No.

- [Chatters]

- No!

Mona, get away from that water can.

[Sipping]

[Sucking]

Mmm.

Ahhh.

[Squeaks Softly]

Well, I've found out one thing.

You're not like a camel.

You get thirsty too. Huh?

How about a nice, salty biscuit?

Would you like that?

No, that's - No. Too blah. Too blah.

Let's put a little turkey paste on it.

That's right.

Oh, and some salt. Yeah.

Some salt. There.

I'm not trying to be cruel,

you understand...

but you know something

very important to our survival.

Mona.

Mona.

Mona.

Aaah!

[Water Trickling]

Thank you, Mona.

[Splash]

[Chirps]

What are you eating?

Not bad.

Mmm.

Could use a little paprika.

Mmm. Not bad at all.

[Sand Pouring]

If you just had four words -

just four that you understood.

"Yes." "No."

"Come." "Go."

That's all.

Then we could talk to each other.

[Mona Chirps]

[Whimpering]

Four months and three days.

Not bad, eh, Mona?

Baby, this is manna from heaven.

You can eat it,

you weave it and you wear it.

Man's best friend, except for his monkey.
