00:40:43,729 --> 00:40:45,465
they were disappearing.

Served as centerpieces in
their skin and feathers,
712
00:40:48,706 --> 00:40:52,078
with a lump of blazing incense
in the beak at Christmas.
713
00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:54,683
"A lump of blazing incense"?
714
00:40:54,684 --> 00:40:56,754
If she wanted to now, the
queen is still the only person

00:40:56,755 --> 00:40:58,625
who could legally eat a swan in England.
716
00:40:58,626 --> 00:41:01,397
That's wonderful.
717
00:41:01,398 --> 00:41:03,668
I thought you'd appreciate it.
718
00:41:03,669 --> 00:41:06,006
It's time for my flight,
Truman, I've got to go.

[TRUMAN] What have I been eating?
727
00:42:06,862 --> 00:42:09,767
An occasional egg
sandwich and some spinach.

I don't know, I've been in a trance
729

for three days, Jack, I tell you.

is just pouring out of me.

I was reading some passages
this morning to Joanne Carson,
739
00:42:38,726 --> 00:42:40,762
and she called Johnny,
and he wants me to give
740

an entire week performing
morsels every night.
741
00:42:43,836 --> 00:42:45,839

Uh, just the... thing fell.

Well, are we almost ready? I'm famished.

Yes. I hope it's good.

anything like this before.

and you have aspirations
of being a chef, no?

00:43:18,472 --> 00:43:21,577
Yes, I-I'm going to culinary school.

Well, then this is an
opportunity of a lifetime.

And they were all
sleeping there together,

but then I saw this big
one kind of off to the side.
772
00:44:25,171 --> 00:44:27,676
And I-I snuck up real slow,
773
00:44:27,677 --> 00:44:30,280
and grabbed it by the neck.

00:44:30,281 --> 00:44:34,222

after I, uh... snapped it.

"galangala," doesn't
exist anymore I think.
780
