It's really hot in here

Are you going all the way to Abilene?

Yes

It is still a few hours, isn't it?

It's about three and half, I think

I thought this was the fast train

Do you think we... we can open the windows any wider?

I don't think that we can, no

Sheep

Have you ever been to Abilene before?

Yeah, I've been there a few times

I'm going there for work

I'm a wet nurse

Very nice place, I think

...to live, it looks very pretty

I have to...

[inaudible]

Are you a [inaudible]?

No

No, I'm from Blondel

Ohhh

- Ohhh. - Nice place to come from

"There was a man who came from Blondel"

"And drunk from a cask like a humpback whale"

That's me

"He lost his wife in a bottle of beer"

What rhymes with "beer"?

Sorry

Fear

Oh no... dear!

"He lost his wife in a bottle of beer"

and something, "oh dear"

Do you fish?

No

And I've never been a fisherman

Pity

I hear they make good husbands

No, they're not very faithful ones, in Blondel

I've never been there

I always wanted to go

What's that festival that you have there every year?

How it's called?

The Eating of the Bears

Do you have children?

No

Mine are at home in [inaudible], with my husband

Horse

I really miss them

Do you work in Abeline, too?

The bridge

And you don't fish?

I'm going there tomorrow, for the opening

I thought it was open already?

It kind of is, but they're going to lead an elephant

across it tomorrow, for publicity

I don't see the point of elephants

Wasn't someone struck by lightning whilst it was being built?

They did

That's why they think it's bad luck to cross it

Well, maybe it is

It certainly was for the chap who got struck

I believe in luck, do you?

No

No, that's why they're using an elephant

Do you believe in elephants then?

No

They do say that an elephant won't stand

on a structure that isn't safe, so

That is not true, is it?

No

People like to believe

In elephants

Sometimes they do

So why would you travel all this way

if you don't believe in it?

That's a good question

It's kind of a formality

I'm there as a sort of...

A ceremonial elephant

Exactly

Just another mahout

I'm not sure why you would make bridges

One side of the river is exactly the same as the other

Nothing really changes, wherever you go

And look, I left my baby and...

No, I really don't see the point in traveling

Should we just stay home and fish?

Why not?

Fish is good.

Me, every day I eat fish.

Crow

You alright?

I'm fine

Are you sure these windows can't open a little bit more?

Would you like to sit this way around?

Sometimes it's the direction of travel

No, I'm okay, I'm okay. I'll be fine, thanks

- Birds don't count. - What?

You said "crow," and birds don't count

Oh, well, rules are rules

Don't you go breaking them, then

I'm sorry

I usually feed my baby four or five times a day

and when I don't, it's... hurts

And it gets tighter and tighter, and...

full, you see

Like somebody's using a bicycle pump or something

Pressure and volume

Try to sit as still as you can

I just have to press for the milk to come out

like a fountain

At home where I live, people come just to watch

I'm quite an attraction

I would show you now, but it's so painful

even to touch them when they're this full

Do you want to talk about something else?

Tell me... tell me about the elephant

Has it crossed many... Oh, fuck!

Do you want me to help?

Oh yes, if you will

Okay, thank you, that's enough for this one

Okay, do this one

Smells nice around here

Thank you, that's enough

Oh, thank you. I feel much better now

I can't tell you

how much better I feel

Thank you so much. You're so kind to me
