00:00I
02:03William?
02:06William?
02:07Terence.
02:09His face, it's like hatred.
02:23He's dead.
02:27He's dead.
02:37He's dead.
02:44He's dead.
02:46He's dead.
02:54I know what a busy woman you are, Mrs. Morton, but James won't be long.
02:58Nurse Foster's packing his cake, making sure he hasn't forgotten any of his little treasures.
03:02There's no hurry, Matron.
03:04I've taken the whole day off.
03:05Oh, splendid.
03:08Don't you love to hear them singing?
03:11Mind you, if you knew some of the little horrors, you'd be amazed they're capable of such an innocent sound.
03:18They all seem nice, friendly children.
03:21You do a wonderful job here.
03:23Oh, that's very kind of you to say, sir.
03:25But I've heard you do some excellent work for charities yourself, Mrs. Morton.
03:29The trust was very grateful for your handsome cheque.
03:32It was the least we could do, perhaps.
03:38Anyway, you'll have no problem with young James.
03:40His parents were good, solid, professional people.
03:52Well, there we are, young man. All packed and ready to go.
03:56Hello, James.
03:57Hello, Mrs. Morton.
04:01After all you've seen of Mrs. Morton, I thought it would be Mother now.
04:05Be a good boy.
04:06Don't let me down.
04:07And I'll come and see you very soon.
04:11Goodbye, Matron.
04:12Thank you for all you've done for me.
04:19This is sweet.
04:21So, for nights, James.
04:23Like a little old man.
04:28Matron.
04:29Isn't he a little old for that rabbit?
04:31Bugsy.
04:32Oh, it's just for comfort.
04:34As a matter of fact, he only took to him after he'd been to see you for those few weeks.
04:38Did he say why?
04:40No.
04:40And I didn't ask.
04:41There's no point in trying to fathom boys of his age.
04:44Be patient.
04:45You'll soon grow out a little.
04:47Yes.
04:48Yes, I'm sure you're right.
04:53Keep in touch, James.
04:55Let me know how you're all getting on.
04:59Well, we're nearly there.
05:02Looking forward to going home.
05:04I think I am.
05:06Think?
05:07I shall miss Matron.
05:09And some friends.
05:13But when school starts, you'll make lots of new friends.
05:17What shall I do in the holidays?
05:20Your father and I are rather busy at the moment, which is unfortunate, but...
05:25I'm sure you'll find things to do.
05:26You can explore the countryside.
05:29Take Nippa for a walk.
05:31What a horrid place.
05:36It's only a churchyard.
05:39Why are all the graves so old?
05:42Except that one.
05:43You can do it.
05:47No!
05:49Oh, my God!
05:51No!
05:54No!
05:55No!
05:57No!
05:58No!
06:03No!
06:03No!
06:04No!
06:07No!
06:11No!
06:38I'm so sorry, James.
06:41James, I don't know what it was.
06:43I just couldn't get the steering wheel to...
06:47Well, it just wouldn't...
06:50Do what it was told?
06:57Yes, that's right.
07:01After they died, mother and father were cremated.
07:05Why did you say that?
07:08I don't know, really.
07:13Whiskers, you're doing very well.
07:16Yes.
07:17You're exceeding all reasonable expectations.
07:21Here we go.
07:22That's it.
07:49That's it.
07:58I'm relying on you.
08:08We've had your room redecorated since you were last here.
08:12Do you like the wallpaper?
08:14It's very nice.
08:16Terence, your father, bought that crane at Harrods.
08:20Well, that's a famous department store in London.
08:22It was very kind of him.
08:25You're both very kind.
08:30James, please don't say things unless...
08:33Unless what, Mrs. Morton?
08:35Unless what?
08:37Never mind.
08:38Doesn't matter.
08:43Well, aren't you going to put that rabbit down?
08:45Yes.
08:46When he settled in.
08:50Of course.
08:53We'll be eating soon.
08:54I hope you're hungry.
08:55Have you seen my jackknife?
08:57Have you got a jackknife?
09:03Matron gave me a list of all your things.
09:06No.
09:08No jackknife.
09:12Unless you had it hidden away.
09:14I know what boys are like.
09:15I wouldn't do that.
09:17It would be dishonest.
09:18If it isn't written down there,
09:20I suppose I couldn't have had one.
09:24Right.
09:26Well, er, wash your hands and face,
09:28and then come down.
09:34Whichever way I pulled the wheel,
09:35it was as if you wanted to...
09:38Do you want?
09:40Oh, I don't know.
09:41It sounds so silly,
09:42but it felt as if I was struggling with...
09:45No against.
09:48Against what?
09:49I don't know.
09:53You were passing the church.
09:55Lowry.
09:56It was a fault in the steering or oil on the road,
09:59that's all.
10:00Look, I'm not a mechanic.
10:01I'm a botanist.
10:03I'll get Bob Thornton from the garage
10:04to have a look at it tomorrow.
10:06Can I take your car tomorrow?
10:09I've got a dockland committee at 11,
10:11then straight on to a reception for the Asian refugees.
10:13Right, I'm here all day.
10:15I've got a couple of officials
10:17from the World Food Council coming over.
10:19Just have a look around,
10:20but I think they'll be rather impressed.
10:24Whiskers has put on 143 grams in a week.
10:27Oh, good.
10:30Terence.
10:32Terence.
10:33What?
10:34You will keep an eye on James, please.
10:36Of course I will.
10:37Laurie, I'm absolutely ravenous.
10:40Okay.
10:47This goes...
10:54Hungry?
10:55Very hungry.
11:09Go and sit down and talk to your father.
11:11It'll be in in a minute.
11:23If I have a basket, go on.
11:25Hello, James.
11:27Sorry I wasn't around when you got in.
11:29There was some work I had to finish off before tomorrow.
11:33I'm afraid it's rather a busy time for me.
11:36Mrs. Morton did explain.
11:38Yes?
11:39Good.
11:46I was sorry to hear about the trouble in the car.
11:49Your mother tells me you didn't turn her hair.
11:52Good for you.
11:53I wasn't at all frightened.
11:56I don't know why.
11:58Good.
12:01Um...
12:02Do you think you can put your rabbit down now, James?
12:05We're going to eat.
12:06We scientists have got a thing about cleverness.
12:09He's a little grubby.
12:11He's special.
12:12Oh, yes, I can see that.
12:14What do you call him?
12:16Horace.
12:17Why did you say that?
12:22He's not called Horace.
12:23I distinctly remember, Matron, referring to him as Bugsy.
12:27He's called Horace now.
12:29I've just changed his name.
12:31Why?
12:33Why have you just changed his name?
12:36It just came into my head when Mr. Morton asked.
12:43Yes.
12:44A chap's perfectly entitled to change his favourite rabbit's name.
12:49I change my rabbit's names all the time.
12:51One day he can be a Bert or a Bob, and then he puts on a bit of weight, looks
12:56more aristocratic, and so I rename him.
12:59Cedric.
13:00Yes.
13:02What about the steaks?
13:06James, did you know two-thirds of the world's population have never seen a steak?
13:10No.
13:12I don't think I did.
13:13Two-thirds of the world's population are protein-starved.
13:18I'm going to try and do something about that.
13:20Protein makes you grow.
13:22And I grow protein-rich plants.
13:26They're odd-looking things.
13:28Someday I'll let you see one.
13:30But he mustn't go into the laboratory.
13:31No, no, no. I was coming to that.
13:34Remember I told you last time you were here?
13:37You must never go into my laboratory on your own.
13:40You understand?
13:42Is it dangerous in your laboratory?
13:45No, it's just that the plants are delicate and valuable.
13:50One day a lot of people from Africa or wherever might put on a bit of weight through eating my
13:54plants.
13:55That's very interesting.
13:58Yes.
14:00Well, they're not as appetizing as a steak, so, uh, tuck in, eh?
14:05Would you mind if I didn't eat mine?
14:07Oh, James, you said you were hungry.
14:09I am.
14:10You don't like meat, is that it?
14:11No.
14:12No.
14:13I just don't like these things in it.
14:18Oh!
14:19Oh, how disgusting!
14:21Oh, sorry, what the hell?
14:23Give me your plates.
14:31James?
14:32Yes, Mrs. Morton?
14:34You were in the kitchen.
14:36You pulled out the grill pan.
14:38I was hungry.
14:39I'm still hungry.
14:41Laurie.
14:41Laurie, you're not suggesting anything.
14:42I am not suggesting anything!
14:48I'm sorry.
15:02I've got something for you.
15:04A surprise!
15:07There!
15:09Isn't he nice?
15:21Well, what shall we call him?
15:23I don't know.
15:25Perhaps you can think of something.
15:27Oh.
15:29Well, I thought something might just come to you like it did earlier.
15:32No.
15:33Nothing's coming to me at the moment.
15:36Except a funny feeling.
15:39What sort of funny feeling?
15:41I think he's a rather unhappy rabbit.
15:45Unhappy?
15:47Why?
15:48It's not his face.
15:50His face is quite smiley.
15:53I just think something rather sad's happened to him.
15:57James, it's only a toy.
16:00What on earth could have happened to him?
16:02It's only a feeling I'm getting.
16:04Well, it's a very silly feeling.
16:06Now, I suggest we call him...
16:10Mmm, not very aristocratic.
16:13Definitely not a Cedric.
16:16We'll call him Harry.
16:19What are you going to do with Horace?
16:22He's very grubby.
16:23I'm going to give him a jolly good scrub.
16:25You can have him back in the morning, all right?
16:27If you say so.
16:29Good night, James.
16:30Good night, Mrs Morton.
16:32Couldn't you manage Mum?
16:34Even Mother would be an improvement.
16:36Good night, Mother.
16:38Don't read too long.
16:39You've had a long day.
16:39Good night.
16:40...
17:45James!
17:47What's the matter?
17:48Poor Harry.
17:51Oh!
17:53I knew there was something about that rabbit.
17:58James, how could you?
17:59How could I what?
18:02You did this!
18:04Leave me alone, Mrs Morton.
18:05I'll write to Matron.
18:07Tell her all about you.
18:09You tell her what about me?
18:12Everything.
18:13And then you'll be in trouble.
18:15They'll take me away.
18:17Give me to somebody else.
18:19There aren't enough children to go around anymore.
18:22Mrs Morton.
18:25I thought he was supposed to be stable.
18:29A well-adjusted child.
18:31That's what the report said.
18:33What do you want us to do?
18:35Send him back?
18:36After all the time it took them to decide we'd be suitable.
18:39I couldn't face that again.
18:40A girl's psychotherapist putting us through in-depth interviews.
18:45Where is he?
18:47Tidying his room.
18:49Well, that mess.
18:50Oh, I did that last night.
18:53Good morning.
19:02I think it will be a very nice day today.
19:07Do you?
19:10James, last night.
19:12Yes, Father?
19:14It was a very silly, very cruel prank.
19:17You mean what happened to Harry?
19:18I mean what you did to Harry.
19:20Your mother's a very busy woman.
19:21She has a lot of very important work to do today.
19:24And she's feeling very shaken.
19:25So if you please, no more pranks like that.
19:28It wasn't a prank.
19:30I didn't do it.
19:31You were standing by the door.
19:34This was on the floor.
19:36I was standing by the door because I'd been to the toilet.
19:40Last night, you asked me if I'd seen your jackknife.
19:42I know.
19:44But you were right.
19:45I've never had a jackknife.
19:47You must know it's true.
19:49It wasn't written on that piece of paper Matron gave you.
19:54James, I think you're lying.
19:55No, Mother.
19:57Telling lies is wrong.
20:02I can't talk about this any longer.
20:05I'm late for all my appointments.
20:07Where are you going?
20:08To London.
20:10I told you yesterday I work on committees in London.
20:13We try to help people who are less fortunate than you.
20:15What will I do while you're helping these people?
20:18We have talked about that.
20:20Take Nipper for a walk.
20:21Play with the new toys we've bought you.
20:24Will you be busy too?
20:27Yes, I'm afraid I will.
20:28I've got some very important people coming to see me today.
20:36I've seen this before.
20:39What?
20:40Knife.
20:42Yes, I know I've seen it before.
20:47It isn't his.
20:58Hello.
20:59Hello.
21:03That's a nice dog you've got there.
21:05Is he on?
21:06No.
21:07He belongs to Mr and Mrs Morton.
21:09Oh, yes.
21:11Well, who are you then?
21:12Are you staying with them?
21:13I'm James.
21:15I'm Mr and Mrs Morton's new son.
21:19That's nice.
21:22I didn't know they came in your size.
21:24When I had a new son,
21:26he was in Nappius for 18 months.
21:33What are you doing?
21:35Oh, I'm trying to find out what's wrong with this car.
21:37It wouldn't do as it was told.
21:39Oh, yes.
21:40Is that right?
21:41The steering wheel started working all on its own.
21:44Is that a fact?
21:46Yes.
21:46It took the car all over the road.
21:49Mrs Morton was very frightened.
21:52Were you there then?
21:53Yes.
21:54Weren't you scared?
21:56No.
22:01Here, would you help me with this?
22:03What?
22:04Try turning the wheel for me when I say.
22:07All right.
22:08Stay.
22:17Right, try it now.
22:19Like this?
22:22Right.
22:25Right, now try it the other way.
22:30Okay, thanks.
22:32Yeah, leave it.
22:33Did you find out what's wrong?
22:35No, I can't see anything yet.
22:37It's probably in the power steering box.
22:41Do you know where your new dad is?
22:43He's busy.
22:44In his laboratory.
22:45And you can't disturb him, right?
22:47No.
22:48He's got some important visitors.
22:50Now look, I've got to take this car down to my garage and really strip it right down.
22:54Will you tell him that?
22:55Can I come with you?
22:57No, sorry.
22:59Sorry, son.
23:00Not allowed.
23:06What's the matter?
23:07Ball with your own company?
23:09I am a bit, yes.
23:11Well, you've got a nice dog there.
23:13I expect you to play some nice games with him.
23:16I expect so.
23:19Goodbye.
23:20Goodbye.
23:50Good morning, Dr. Morton.
23:51Good morning.
23:52What a jolly fine house.
23:54Yes, good morning.
23:54And what beautiful roses.
23:56The English countryside is very delightful.
23:58It's very fresh this time of the year.
24:00Yes, we like it.
24:01Did you stop somewhere?
24:02Yes, at a copper kettle cafe.
24:04The coffee arrived instantly.
24:06The Tudor beans were plastic, as were the sandwiches.
24:09Well, come on in.
24:10Let's see if we can improve on earth.
24:22Oh, what's the matter, Nipah?
24:29And you'll see from the note.
24:31A few grams per day of supplementary DL83 protein
24:34has built whiskers from a seven-stone weakling
24:38into the impressive specimen it is today.
24:41Nobody's got a kick sound in your face,
24:43aren't they, whiskers?
24:43Seven stones.
24:45No, not literally.
24:48Now, what I meant was, and I think this is conclusive,
24:53DL83, whether it's baked in a loaf
24:56or sprinkled over a traditional diet,
24:59can supplement the diet to the equivalent
25:01of half a pound of fish or meat a day.
25:03I'm very impressed, Dr. Morton.
25:04Good.
25:05Well, I hope you will convey that view to your colleagues.
25:08I will, indeed.
25:09Now, tell me, can these botanical specimens
25:11be cultivated in all sorts of climates?
25:14Of extreme heat or cold.
25:16Perhaps you'd like to show him the notes
25:18in supporting documentation, Mr. Ngain?
25:21Certainly.
25:27Why are you both?
25:30Why are you both frightened?
25:44Can I ask a question, Dr. Morton?
25:47Well, of course.
25:48Do you eat this, this, DL83?
25:51Well, not on a daily basis, although I have...
25:53On a daily basis, you no doubt eat chicken, fish, steak.
25:58Correct.
25:59Yes.
26:00Let the West eat cake.
26:02Her granaries are full.
26:04You have butter mountains, beef mountains, wine lakes.
26:07And in the meantime, let the starving third world eat DL83,
26:10which could presumably be grown on the moon.
26:14I am not a politician or an economist.
26:17I am a research botanist doing what I can to help eradicate a problem
26:20which is of major concern to two-thirds of the world,
26:23let alone you and your colleagues in the World Food Council.
26:25Forgive me.
26:25I had no wish to be insulting.
26:27But there is something I must ask.
26:30Yes.
26:31Is it not true that some of these specimens
26:34have an hallucinatory effect similar to LSD?
26:39There was one case.
26:41Which resulted in, correct me if I'm wrong,
26:44death, a painful death?
26:48Yes.
26:49That's right.
26:53Come on, Nipper.
26:57Come on.
27:04Come on.
27:06It's a little churchyard.
27:14I repeat, it was an accident.
27:17A very tragic accident,
27:19but it in no way discredits DL83.
27:21The problem did not lie with the plant itself.
27:23I investigated it thoroughly after
27:25and found that a virtually undetectable mould
27:28had appeared under one of my early fungoid specimens.
27:31A mould with properties similar to LSD?
27:34Regrettably, yes.
27:35There are several similar organisms.
27:38And someone ate the compound, right?
27:42Yes.
27:42And went to his grave in a horrible trance.
27:44No, he did not.
27:47Hallucinogens affect the brain
27:48through the central nervous system.
27:50Death is certified when brain activity has ceased.
27:52It follows that one cannot
27:53go to one's grave in a trance.
27:57This is what I want to see.
28:04William Morton.
28:051969 to 1979.
28:10R.I.P.
28:13Who are you, William Morton?
28:15What do you want of me?
28:30Come away from there.
28:33What's got into you?
28:35That's a grave you've been defiling.
28:37That's sinful.
28:39There are far greater sins.
28:41Debts that must be paid.
28:44Where's Nipah?
28:46Your dog?
28:47He ran off.
28:48Over there.
28:53One of his basic things is a substance.
29:01Heel.
29:02Heel.
29:03Come.
29:06It's better than a hybrid.
29:08We've won a family person.
29:10Yes.
29:12Yes.
29:12Oh, no.
29:13Oh, no.
29:15Oh, no.
29:17Oh, no.
29:17Oh, no.
29:18Oh, no.
29:20Oh, no.
29:21Oh, no.
29:22Oh, no.
29:22Oh, no.
29:23Oh, no.
29:50Look at this.
29:53Oh, Dr. Morton.
29:55But how could the dog get into these cages?
29:59Look at least his spare whiskers.
30:02Yes, you're living proof that dear Lady Three works.
30:05Hello.
30:07Is it all right for me to be in here?
30:10Was Nipah with you?
30:12Yes.
30:14Oh, dear.
30:15Was it Nipah?
30:17Not much of a Nipah, is he?
30:19Aren't you shocked by what he's done?
30:23Oh, yes.
30:24He seems such a nice dog.
30:27So well trained.
30:30At least that's what I thought.
30:33Until I came to the grave of William Morton.
31:02Oh.
31:04Hello? Are you still here, then?
31:06Yes, and I drink coffee by the gallon.
31:08Where's James?
31:09I don't know. I'm off somewhere. I'm looking at that damn dog.
31:12Damn dog?
31:13Someday, I can tell you.
31:14Oh, the dog got into them now.
31:15What, Nick, now?
31:19Gentlemen, may I introduce my wife, Laurie, Mr Ngenko, Mr Austin from the World Food Council.
31:25Hello.
31:26Please sit down.
31:29My husband has just told me what's happened.
31:31I'm so sorry that you were subjected to such a dreadful incident.
31:35There were rabbits. Rabbits are killed and eaten every day.
31:38But they were Dr Morton's rabbit.
31:41Very special rabbits.
31:42Rabbit against hunger to feed the wretched millions on this world.
31:46It's we who are sorry, Mrs Morton.
31:48That dog has tasted blood.
31:50This is the important point.
31:52I have seen it many times in the bush.
31:54Once an animal has tasted blood, it needs more.
31:57It will never be satisfied.
31:58It is not blood lust which afflicts these animals.
32:01What is it then?
32:02It's quite simple.
32:04These animals are demons.
32:06They are possessed by evil spirits.
32:08Mr Austin, we are here as representatives of an elite, a privileged elite,
32:14the advanced section of the third world community.
32:17What hope is there for our peoples if we continue to perpetuate such mumbo jumbo?
32:21But the demons are everywhere, Mr Ngenko.
32:29Nipha, stay!
32:33Get him off!
32:43Nipha, get him off!
32:44Get him off!
32:48Nipha, get him off!
32:48Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
33:27I'm sorry, Dr. Morton.
33:29Good-bye.
34:16Well, this should put a stop to his fun and games.
34:17What have you put on it?
34:19Good dose of poison, GT28.
34:20What?
34:21But that's what William...
34:22Right.
34:23Its potency as a poison has been well and truly tested.
34:49Bye, Niffa.
34:52Rest in peace.
34:55Yes.
35:08James, you're not eating.
35:09Is that because of Niffa?
35:11We had to put him down.
35:12It was the only thing we could do for him, for all of us.
35:17Perhaps.
35:19I think I'll go to bed now.
35:22Good night, Mother.
35:23Good night, Father.
35:25Night, James.
35:26I'll be up in a minute.
35:35Terence, there's something bad.
35:38Evil happening in this house.
35:39Oh, come on now.
35:41Just because of that loopy Africa.
35:42It's not just him.
35:44It's everything.
35:45The car, the horrible incident with the rabbit.
35:49And now, Niffa, he was such a gentle, docile animal.
35:57Bob Thornton took the car in this morning.
36:01And?
36:03There's nothing wrong with the steering.
36:10Hello.
36:12Thank God you're still with us, eh?
36:14Where would I be without my star pupil?
36:18Come on.
36:19A little blood test, then I'll put you on the scales.
36:29Still in your dressing gown?
36:31I thought you'd be in bed by now.
36:34Who was William Morton?
36:36It's your name.
36:38Was he a relation?
36:40He was our son.
36:43You've been to the churchyard?
36:45This morning, with Niffa.
36:47I'm your son now.
36:50Yes, James.
36:52You are.
36:53Was William unhappy?
36:55No!
37:00No.
37:01We were unhappy, James, when he died.
37:05Why are you always saying,
37:07people, things are unhappy?
37:10I just keep getting these thoughts
37:12in my head from somewhere.
37:15From where?
37:16I don't know where they come from.
37:21Forget these silly thoughts.
37:22Get into bed.
37:32What?
37:35OK.
37:37OK.
37:38Come on.
37:40OK.
38:43William Moulton.
38:46Private.
39:06A poem by William Moulton.
39:11Mum and Dad, oh how they care.
39:15They feed the world, love all who's on it.
39:19William Moulton, their son and heir, is out of sight.
39:24A distinct comet.
39:30You've come at last, William Moulton.
39:33I knew you would.
39:42William Moulton.
39:46William Moulton.
39:51William Moulton.
39:52William Moulton.
39:53William Moulton.
40:00Huh?
40:03I can't be.
40:10James, what is it?
40:13Who lusts the world, feeds all who is on it
40:16You, Mother
40:23Your flesh and blood is out of sight
40:26Liam Wharton is out of sight
40:30Always out of sight
40:32Oh, William
40:35Always out of sight
40:37Out of sight
40:40James
40:43What are you doing?
40:45I was lonely
40:48I thought I heard Nipper
40:51I was frightened
40:55I thought I heard him too
41:01Look, just go to bed, huh?
41:04There's a good boy
41:05All right
41:34James, Miss Mother
41:36Are you all right?
41:39Did you really hear Nipper too?
41:42Well, I heard something
41:47A dog
41:49Now, it couldn't have been Nipper, could it?
41:52No, Mother
41:54Come on, into bed
41:56I'll tuck you in
42:11Night-night, sleep tight
42:12Pleasant dreams
42:14That's what I used to say to William when he was little
42:26William Wharton Private
42:30Where did you find this?
42:32In the drawer
42:33Amongst the books
42:37I think he must have cared about you very much
42:42Did you care about him?
42:45What?
42:46Did you care about William?
42:48Of course
42:50Of course I cared about him
42:52He was my son
42:55Did Mr Morton care about him?
42:57Oh, James
42:58Why do you ask such questions?
43:00Because I think William was very unhappy
43:03No
43:04It says so in the book, Mother
43:14Mum and Dad
43:15I don't know how they care
43:17They feed the world
43:19Love all who's on it
43:21But William Wharton, their son and heir
43:25Is out of sight
43:27A distant comet
43:32I'm your son now
43:38That's right
43:40I'm tired
43:45So am I
43:49Good night
43:50Good night, Mother
44:05Did you care about William?
44:07Of course I cared about him
44:09He was my son
44:11Did Mr Morton care about him?
44:14Did Mr Morton care about him?
44:16Did Mr Morton care about him?
44:19Of course I cared about him
44:21He was my son
44:24Did Mr Morton care about him?
44:26Did Mr Morton care about him?
44:29Well, blood count and pulse rate
44:31Highly satisfactory
44:33And Genko wants the third world to carry on starving
44:35That's his problem, eh, whiskers?
44:36Oh, yeah
44:38Little unadulterated sustenance, huh?
