so

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

um

[Applause]

yes

[Applause]

what time is it you've got 20 seconds no

real time

it's that past four god help us we're

late again

rick tell me something useful

well when exactly the sidearm right he

drops his left

excellent get the wrong uncle are you

sure

big man's going down who says

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

come on follow me

don't be so skittish

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

don't go don't go

i'm sorry sorry please sit down please

please

ladies and gentlemen my apologies my

apologies i was

unforeseeably detained in the midst of

fundraising efforts jonas let's begin

earth 220 million years ago

earth again 100 million years later

we now have the atlantic ocean and india

the first island continent jonas

40 million years ago australia is no

longer a part of antarctica

and by this time incidentally all the

dinosaurs have died off

[Applause]

i believe that if we examine

the western coasts of europe and africa

and the eastern coast of the americas

that we will find

that they match up exactly geologically

speaking

now this endeavor of course takes money

and pure science

draws little support jonas and i are

here to rectify that situation

jonas

lystrosaurus its bones are found

virtually everywhere on every continent

the kiwi found only in new zealand

it took me 10 minutes to realize that

charles darwin had unlocked nature's

deepest secrets

you have had over 10 years to absorb his

wisdom and yet you choose to ignore it

why do you think that the dinosaurs died

out because noah wouldn't let them on

the ark

how according to you did the pacific

ocean form

when the moon spun off of the earth and

formed a cavity which then

filled up with salt water do you realize

how ludicrous that is

[Music]

uh evolution ladies and gentlemen is not

the enemy of the divine

it is the very essence of the divine

time and so in closing ladies and

gentlemen please remember

that the funding of scientific research

is a holy

activity as blessed in its way as

service to the poor and

the needy thank you thank you very much

well at least you can raise 300 fights

excuse me pardon me thank you

wonderful thank you very much my name is

alice hastings would you do me the honor

of having dinner with me tonight how big

a party

i have a proposition for you come again

a financial proposition

in that case i'd be honored shall we say

excelsior at seven o'clock excellent

[Music]

or would you rather face the door no no

i'm fine thank you

menu thank you madam thank you

if you don't mind my saying professor

you have the heir of a wanted man

not wanted enough i'm afraid oh well

perhaps we can change that

would you mind taking a look at this

this is a ship's law captain cook the

original new zealand expedition

did you purchase this at auction no and

how did you come by it

i found it amongst my husband's papers i

see

is your husband dead yes if my lawyers

have their way

they want to declare him deceased so i

can get on with my life

you know i predict that one day there

will be absolutely no need for lawyers

whatsoever

let us hope so casper my husband has

been missing for seven years

and you think he's still alive i know

he's alive

and i would like you to find him i'm not

am i i'm a scientist not a detective

[Laughter]

why is this in code once again that's

why i've come to you

i'm sorry i still don't understand you

were with darwin and the galapagos

yes and lately france to study the

sarcasm vortex theory

sachinism theory that the water in some

lakes is drawn up from underground by a

vortex it's a fascinating theory but

quite improbable

as you may have gathered i'm trying to

finance my own expedition to krakatoa

i hear that can be quite strenuous

the fundraising i mean yes

painful even sometimes

yes mr linton have you ever been to new

zealand

no i'm afraid i have no interest in

sheep

tell me was your husband interested in

theories of darwin

not to my knowledge natural history no

sheep no

then why why did he leave me

i'm sorry i'm afraid that's none of my

business

why don't you try to decipher that

document and then we'll talk again

[Music]

is it still too drafty in here

jonas what

oh i'm sorry you had that

worried look you get when you're afraid

you're coming down with a fever

[Applause]

jonas do you mind if i say something yes

i know

i know he asks for it

exactly he thrives on their scorn and

that isn't healthy for him or for you

oh jonas i i know he's been mother and

father to you but why he has to drag you

into it you a harvard graduate summa [ __ ]

laude handing him skulls and rocks like

some sort of magician's assistant

ah good evening helen how are you

theodore if you don't mind i'd like to

borrow jonas for a few minutes i need

his help on something

three turtles arrive demanding

pagans disregard bractosaur

it's ridiculous it makes no sense at all

i'm not hold on for a second if i

uh if i take the first letter out of the

first word

the second from the second word and so

on

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

maybe not no no taronga

it's a volcano that rose off the coast

of new zealand i knew i could count on

you

perhaps that's why he left

excuse me uncle i'm sorry you lost me

well there's an old maori legend about

that

volcano a passage deep into the earth

underground caverns rich in gold

well i thought she was already wealthy

she is she's a carnegie

oh and yet she wants you to help her

find her husband

whatever it costs and as soon as

possible

i wonder if he found it found what

[Music]

a passage into the center of the earth

jonas

this is an extraordinary opportunity

to witness firsthand the genesis of this

planet

i see i but you do realize this means

that you're going to be missing my

wedding

not if you postpone it what no no no i'm

not posting jonas

jonas there will be all sorts of

foreigners to deal with and i have no

gift with languages whatsoever you know

that

new zealand don't

don't they have earthquakes occasionally

occasionally unexpected invitations for

travel

are like dancing lessons from god and

think of what we'll bring home with us

that most treasured of gifts knowledge

you know jonas

i firmly believe that when we think

about our lives at the very end

what we regret is not what we did but

what we didn't do

this is going to be a wonderful

experience

uncle experiences the name that people

give to their mistakes

well i know exactly what helen would say

he's going down into what

a mine jonas you get dizzy on the bottom

rung of a ladder

i'm not the bottom wrong what about your

studies your law career all that just

goes out the window

listen this will only be for a few

months at the very most

do you expect me to wait for you frankly

i wouldn't blame you if you never wanted

to speak to me again but your uncle

comes first

why don't you think of yourself for a

change i am thinking of myself

i saw this coming i knew you were

getting cold feet

i'm not getting cold feet i've loved you

from the moment that i first laid eyes

on you i still do

but

but what

helen i've never even stepped a foot

outside massachusetts

and why do you need to why

because i'm afraid of everything of

giraffes and germs and heights and

insects

and insects yes uh see all these

pointless fears

it's it's high times that i come to

crips with you jonas you mustn't blame

yourself

your parents died when you were young

naturally it left you fearful

why naturally i mean the worst is

already done

so and you think your uncle can teach

you courage

he can try theodore's a fool

do what you think you have to do

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

bring up jonas

[Music]

over there

[Music]

oh

i want you to write down everything that

happens

will you do that for me

i'll do even better than that i'll

address every entry to you

so you were writing me letters

exactly a letter somebody never read

oh i'm sorry i'm nervous enough as it is

forgive

[Music]

my me

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

dearest helen such a vast and glorious

land

so few places where people actually want

to live

cianco theodore this proves that man is

descended from the chimpanzee rather

than the baboon

don't ask me why he is rereading all of

darwin and is impervious to distractions

[Music]

helen i miss you terribly

dear helen samuel johnson was right

being on a boat is like being in jail

with a chance of drowning

there's definitely something to this

business of looking your tears in the

face

but then what's the cure for

hypochondria i trust it doesn't turn out

to be pneumonia

join us god willing tomorrow we will

arrive in auckland

[Music]

[Music]

i'm sorry that's three lamps please all

right yeah sir

i wouldn't look now but uh i think we're

being followed

i had the same feeling myself how much

will that be please

25 points sir 25 all right

there you are thank you sir thank you

blasting caps that's what we've

forgotten i'll get you glass of cat's

face

[Music]

my name's magniff i'm theodore litton

this is my nephew jonas

where are you headed

karanga

you'll need a boat i know where you can

get one

i appreciate that and i'd like to repay

you for your assistance

oh you'll repay me all right or you

won't last a day out there

especially with that native boy you

hired

maori see him they'll reclaim him right

there and then

i'm afraid i don't follow

there's a war on

it's the maori uprising

we stole the native land and they're

fighting to get it back

and when i say we i mean you

well i assure you sir the purpose of our

trip is strictly scientific

oh

professor maybe it was

but it isn't now

you want to join our expedition

you need me professor more than

you know

the north island is home to the huaca

warriors

led by a man named tay mahua

two years ago was visited by the angel

gabriel

who told him that he was to kill his

only child in repentance for the

straying of the maori people

now apparently his followers kill and

eat

every european they can find

[Music]

wow i was beginning to think nothing

daunted you listen to this

even more bizarre they believe that all

this uh human flesh that they've been

eating has rendered them invincible

bullets can't kill them if they scream

certain magic

[Music]

words

no no it's unthinkable there's already

much more danger than i anticipated mr

litton

i dislike pulling rank but it's my money

that's paying for this expedition and i

would like to be there when you find my

husband well you might have mentioned

that back in boston

and risk this very reaction

good evening jonas good evening mrs

hastings

um uncle i think that we should be gone

you do know that we will suffer extreme

hardship i do

and you will in no way be cuddled i know

i don't suppose there's any reason in

arguing this further is there

none whatsoever you will stop by your

hotel tomorrow morning at 7 00 am sharp

please be on time mrs hastings good

night

good night

jonas who's that man

and what's in the crates i have no idea

disappeared some years ago while

attempting to explode the taranga

cabinets you don't see

well that's her funeral

mrs hastings thank you mr

easy boys yeah yeah stop oh my god

what's going on troopers

what are you doing professor

duck duck

[Music]

hey come away laddie away now before

they send the army in

we'll all go ahead on food those

troopers

they're not fond of walking

you might have told me you were running

guns

and risk this very reaction

dearest alan i've often thought that if

the world were full of jonah slittons

and only jonah slittons there would be

no cruelty

no torture no warfare but i suppose a

lot of other things wouldn't get done

either

[Music]

magnificent

[Music]

ocatina the native scholar it's rumored

to be

bottomless surely it's fed from the

mountains

uh they see the monster of the lake is

an angry devil and lives in the

underworld and makes

our fulfill but fail

vortex the saxon vortex it's a theory

that some lakes in geothermal areas

actually

suck their water up from beneath the

earth like a reverse water spout

it's complete nonsense of course of

course uncle

go time iron

[Music]

okay

oh

i have the sense that they're not happy

to see me madam

i'm afraid that's an understatement has

it something to do with my husband

no it's because you're a woman tapu

to see a strange woman on the eve of a

battle is very bad luck

what then government troops they've

already been spotted

pursuing us very likely

where are they taking us now to the

chieftain

te mahua

a word to the wise whatever you do

keep your head lower than his

otherwise he'll sap his mum

[Music]

oh

[Music]

i think you're pardoned mr linton mr

linton

hold on hold on she's with us what are

you

doing there's nothing to fear let me go

stand up procedure

i wouldn't worry

[Music]

[Applause]

okay

he says casper hastings brave

stubborn forceful pass this way

he and two men went in search of gold

where

the taranga caverns and did her husband

ever return

they say that the husband met up with

the monsters in the earth

what kind of monsters they're not

prepared to say

gentlemen i have to say we've come at a

very bad time

foreign

[Applause]

purification ceremony for the warriors

that laid eyes on mrs hastings

[Applause]

traditionally they may have to eat her

the sooner we leave here the better not

without mrs hasties

that's up to you she's not my lookout

no she's mine

[Music]

hola

what you want well it's very simple your

majesty i

i want you to let the woman go why is

for you i

challenge you to a game of um whatever

you call that

you want to play mutore

yes if i win you let mrs hastings go

if i lose you can eat me instead

no man ever beat te mahua at motore

i suppose that's why you play it so much

well what do you say

man not so tasty maybe i eat you both

hurry up

life

for you

two out of three your majesty let's be

reasonable

you really don't intend to hurt this

woman and i know these tales of

cannibalism

grossly exaggerated admit it you're just

toying with us

[Music]

oh

[Music]

oh

this is

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

oh

[Music]

i was lucky to have you mr litton oh

well

no i'm i'm very grateful what you did

took a great deal of courage

not really just an absence of

imagination that's all courage is

scientifically speaking isn't that right

jonas

whatever you say uncle

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

your boat mr mcniff

soto well it

like my fault

uncle

[Music]

muranga

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

and all this equipment professor how are

we going to get it done

my latest invention gravity machine

about three quarters of a mile i know

what you're thinking

the easier the descent the more

difficult to climb but then this is easy

it's child's play jonas

you'll be all right with this oh you

needn't worry mr litton

my husband and i are both avid

[Music]

mountaineers

[Music]

so

[Music]

bye

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

uh

stage two of the set find another

crevasse and repeat stage one

[Music]

dear helen how many times can you join

the human race

there are thousands of cave explorers in

the world and now i'm one of them

we descended in 14 stages a distance of

nearly two miles

for illumination we have several rumpkov

devices whose electric currents provide

a reliable light source with no hazard

from methane gas

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

uh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

dearest helen the temperature is soared

to 140 degrees

fahrenheit hotter than the libyan desert

now of course according to the law of

increasing heat the temperature should

be 3000 degrees and all of this granite

molten

so we should consider ourselves lucky

so why don't i

i believe your nephew is somewhat

homesick mr litton

do you i think he's having the time of

his life

you've never had children of your own

have you no i never found the time

you if i had children mr litton do you

think i would risk leaving them

motherless

i take your point on the other hand your

husband showed you no such consideration

i expect he was somewhat jealous of your

fortune

if he was he never told me no he

wouldn't of course

he might have felt indulged like a child

and therefore lies to rebel like one

perhaps you feel you drove him to this

reckless quest for riches

and that's why you're risking your life

to find him now

you put things very bluntly mr litton

yes

i've been accused of that before i

happen to love my husband

i'm sure you do mrs hastings and i

apologize for my bluntness

i intended no offense

we're in the primordial stratum now

where the metals ignited in water and

there

hey hey hey

go easy scholar hey we're half out

already

my uncle says that there are plenty of

underground springs down here

we'll have all the water we need

what she like that sweetheart of yours

she didn't want you to come on this trip

did she

now you're thinking maybe she was right

i'm just trying not to think at all

that's a good threat if you

manage it

well what about you don't you have any

loved ones that you left behind

no more than my [ __ ] a lady in sydney

and i

kind of go back to her why not

i killed her husband

do you understand

you want some free advice a scholar

if you ever bear a married woman put a

pillow under the lady

and a revolver under the pillow

i'll have to remember that

[Music]

dearest helen according to theodore

we're already six

thousand feet lower than the wuttenberg

mines in bohemia

the greatest depth here the two reached

by man

the heat is increasing and our supply of

water is dwindling

perhaps the cyclism vortex has taken it

all the way

[Music]

i thank you ma'am i appreciate an

employer who plays on pain

somebody's been at this with a pickaxe

my husband yes quite possibly

now the only question is

it's where do you suppose he went ah

that's it

hey

[Music]

we're in the late cyloria now

by my calculations we're under the sea

like the coal mines in newcastle

only much much deeper of course mr

litton what is it

[Music]

it's a miner's land but was

evidently your husband wasn't using

electric lanterns oh my god

now mrs hastings don't go jumping to

conclusions

uncle i think i found something

is that water no

no it's oily the weight of the rock is

cracked the oil into its component parts

this is gasoline gasoline what's that

[Music]

[Music]

oh come on come on

[Music]

i could give up smoking wouldn't

guarantee a thing

whatever gaseous mixture that was it

might not contain enough oxygen to

sustain us

but well nothing ventured nothing gained

mrs hastings

this is hasty

[Applause]

[Music]

hey now look there's no way of knowing

if that's your husband or not

and he came down here with the other men

right the maoris too

they'd be down here as well yes you're

perfectly right if

if there was an explosion there would be

three skeletons wouldn't there

well not necessarily some of them might

have been blown to bits

uncle if we survived

maybe her husband did too well that's

true in the absence of further evidence

that's

entirely possible well

everybody ready let's press on

don't look at me in that tone of voice i

just think you could be more tactful

that's all

he knew his chances slim to none

then what are we doing down here we are

scientists

we know how to estimate dangers and

prepare for them speak for yourself

uncle really sometimes you can be quite

heartless

bold tongue faltering steps well how do

we know there isn't methane gas down

there

we don't well then we're not prepared

are we jonas you have to put some things

out of your mind that's where they

belong

okay fine wonderful

join us jonas come back

join us don't go on without the others

oh

um

[Music]

you're bleeding come here

i could hear all of your voices as if

you were standing right next to me

the wall was parabolic you were standing

at the focus so all the sounds were

magnified

sit down laddie

let me see that

it's a euryptorid well in the late

silurian

the arthropods beat the invertebrates to

the land but this

is a completely different branching an

alternate evolutionary scheme

it's adapted to this intense heat in the

absence of sunlight

do you mind if i skip this lecture

professor your nephew needs looking

after it here

yes of course i'm sorry

uncle go on

look as if you're about to faint so did

you uncle

none of us is uh feeling too sturdy i

don't mind saying

ah there's only one ration left here oh

no

i'm quite all right thank you

yes what a bunch of martyrs

we have this here

100

[Music]

this is hastings thank you

oh this will do for now

until we find water which i have every

confidence will be within 24 hours

is that the gin talking professor

not yet

[Music]

dear helen man we've been 36 hours now

without water

the liquor sustains us but also

dehydrates us

[Music]

uh

uh

we must now make a decision

how do we keep going or we can try to go

back the way we came

if we turn back now we'll have just

enough liquid nourishment

to reach the surface again

how many would prefer to turn back

ah well that's settled let's go

mcniff where are you

good lord now he's lost

what is it

can you hear that

give me your knife

it's water it'll cool down by and by

i'll get a cab team

oh

[Music]

[Music]

are you all right mr linton yes i'm fine

thank you mrs hastings

i believe you may have just saved my

life

indeed i am truly grateful

what is it mr clinton what are you

looking at

your hair my hair

it's

moving

in the wind

[Music]

huh

[Music]

what happened

we descended almost vertically and then

at a 45 degree angle

no no no we're about here

what about the sky

that's not the sky that light doesn't

come from the sun or the moon

it's like the aurora borealis it's a

purely electrical phenomenon

both those clouds is a granite ball and

above that

a mountain above that the sea

it's a great deal of weight for an arch

to hold up god's sake

filled with strong material eh jonas you

remember your elementary statics

well it can be i don't know more than 50

miles across

if there's salt i can't detect it

yeah i'll stick with the ginseng taste

of iron

so much the better good for the

digestion yeah for that i should have

gone to saratoga springs

so you shall on your honeymoon

we'll sleep here tonight

you know i think where we live

what we call above ground

we're in a cavern there too and maybe

the entire universe is made up of

an infinity of walls all

nested inside each other

the celestial bodies what are they

phantoms you you've heard of um

the apollo god of the sun

diana goddess to the moon there's

imaginary

you follow me not completely

so uncle which way do you think he went

i'm sorry who

casper hastings assuming he made it this

far

but you don't think that's likely i

didn't say that well your tone implied

really i didn't mean to imply anything

you all right there's something

slithering

around my body i felt it nip at my leg

with your permission mrs hastings

purely precautionary you understand

[Music]

uh

[Music]

thank you theodore there's no swelling

do you feel any pain i'm i'm fine

professor professor

you might want to look at this

go see what he wants

[Music]

so

[Music]

what is it

is that human all right professor

human male from the size of it

one's instrument fracture severed at the

neck

what's the matter that's not my husband

you can tell that casper hired a man in

gloucester before he sailed

he was hoping to find gold and we

thought a man with gold teeth might

bring him luck

your husband was superstitious was and

is i'm sorry i didn't mean to i know you

didn't

that's where he went how do you know

that there was a rock down by the water

with an arrow scratched on it

the arrow points out to see

there it is

where do you think he was going and what

was he trying to get away from

theodore

what is it what do you make of this

looks like he built himself a raft

he went out there alone yes and we're

going to find him

you don't have to do this i signed on to

find your husband mrs hastings and

that's what i intend to do

what are they a link a link

yes between reptiles and birds

pterodactyls and archaeopteryx traveling

in flocks

this is wonderful

[Music]

come on

[Music]

[Music]

ugh

dearest helen after the attack we

resolved to build ourselves a boat

our blankets served as cells and we

found a plentiful supply of reeds

these rebound into logs to make the hull

we labored tirelessly and were rewarded

with a fineness

dear helen steady northwest wind raft

sailing fast and straight

the wounds i sustained earlier are

healing more rapidly than they would

have on the surface

alice's snake bite as well if indeed it

was a snake

sea is so vast the winds could blow us

anywhere how do we know where casper

went

i'm leading you all in a wild goose

chase i don't know

i'm rather fond of chasing wild geese

besides the sea isn't as vast as you

think

it's no bigger than light conita

you've been to lego native summers

when i was a boy my parents had a home

there

do you suppose we ever met i doubt it

why do you say that because if we had

met i most assuredly would remember

[Music]

is it time for another sounding

jonas test the depth again the pickaxe

what's wrong oh it's stuck yes it's

caught on something

here let me have a try oh it's stuck

jonas let me have a try it's stuck

ah there sometimes it just takes a

woman's touch

[Music]

pulling them lines my sentiments exactly

[Music]

something on this one

what deepest hell is that it's devonian

fish

order gonna die family asparticepoli

but these spins this is something

completely new

do you think it's edible something's

already chewed it

what's the matter i don't know how to

eat and destroy something prehistoric

it's uh

it's like violating a taboo yes exactly

well that's all very sweet but i hang

there eating in 24 hours

hey jonas get on the outside of that la

bc that's bad luck i see

it's delicious mrs hastings

thank you

well in japan they do eat fish raw

they're the people in japanese

uncle i see len

[Music]

take it up there we're gonna have a look

around right professor

[Applause]

[Music]

theodore come look

rhaptosaur late triassic early jurassic

or perhaps elasmus

is a meat-eater professor no no strictly

vegetarian

occasional laps what size the heart

on the usual i'd go for between the eyes

[Music]

[Applause]

i'm sorry but all of my research clearly

indicates that

these are strictly vegetarian

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

alice we mustn't despair please don't

it's time i just faced the facts

the only facts you have are that your

husband came down here with two other

men

can't even be sure of that either they

perished at sea or that thing attacked

them or those horrible flying creatures

it's true you know it casper is dead and

it's entirely my fault

if it is true do yourself a favor don't

take all the credit

do you know why i came after casper yes

you do because you told me i did it out

of guilt

i felt that i had driven him away and

and now he's dead and we'll never get

back to the surface not in a million

years

don't tell me just stop it i'm i'm sick

of your confounded optimism

[Music]

what's the matter scholar you look like

a dog stage

where's that professor this is hastings

ah well we knew that was coming didn't

we

she's married she was married

and now she is a widow well

there's no proof of that that is proof

enough for mrs hastings

her husband's been away seven years

she's been mourning long enough he's

taking advantage

i'd say he was smitten from the first

time she waltzed into his life

and you know how that feels don't you

i thought i did i'm not so sure anymore

didn't you say that you and your

sweetheart no we never did

fell in love at first sight oh

sad i thought you meant

i know what you thought i meant cheer up

scholar

it is not the end of the world in fact

it is what makes the world go round

me

sizing you up like an animal no no

[Applause]

no not like an animal i've never been

stared at like that by anyone

or anything

[Music]

[Music]

don't beat yourself up professor any man

would have done the same

i do not wish to discuss this oh go on

confession is good for the soul

i wish i had to shilling for every time

that i broke the second commandment

ignite you are entirely presumptuous i

believe the sin is on her side

technically if her husband has to fight

then that is a big iffy

i am going to insist you not speak of

this again

you think you can take me professor i'm

sure i

so am can why don't we save it for mr

hastings

just in case he hasn't got my sense of

[Applause]

humor

it seems they've discovered fire

what was that it was a bird call

maybe would that be one of them

high-flying monsters

professor you wouldn't find them on the

forest floor any more than you'd find a

hawk down here

i suggest we make camp

and i suggest that we keep going

what's your hurry jonas well what's your

reluctance uncle

we'll eat something here we'll get some

rest

and then we'll move on

[Applause]

you know there's no reason for us to

stop talking to each other

you're right i'm sorry i've been

behaving like a schoolboy

theo

whatever happens i wish we met a long

time ago

[Music]

like a primate

exactly up there they were destroyed

down here they kept on evolving into

what

professor listen

[Music]

[Applause]

jonas do you detect any regularities

[Applause]

it has a syntax how do you know he knows

those are not just bird calls

[Music]

there's too many variations that's a

language

any idea what they're saying yes they're

saying why are those stupid creatures

taking notes

you can't assume that they're hostile

what else would they be

detached watchful vigilant

observing us studying us

scientific reptiles why not

down here dinosaurs involved in parallel

with humans

they could be more civilized than us and

on the other hand

they could be on safari

uncle man look at this
