:03:01
...the helpless survivors
seek refuge...
:03:04
...behind the walls of the great city.
:03:08
But out in the forest...
:03:11
...in isolated pockets...
:03:13
...still untouched by the ravages
of the monster...
:03:18
...life and business goes on...
:03:22
...as usual.
:03:26
Thirteen, fourteen.
There's another little one.
:03:29
-Fifteen.
-What are you doing, Dennis?
:03:33
Stocktaking, Father.
:03:34
-You took stock this morning.
-I did.
:03:37
It never hurts
to keep an account.
:03:40
In business now, Father--
:03:42
Never mind that nonsense
and help with this cask.
:03:46
All right, Father.
I'll finish stocktaking later.
:03:52
You see, the secret of the craft
is to keep the stake....
:03:58
Take hold of the hoop.
:04:02
Dennis. Ralph.
:04:07
Good day, Mr. Fishfinger.
Can I be of some assistance?
:04:10
-Well--
-Dennis, what are you--?
:04:15
Yes, well, see, I need
some barrels, Dennis...
:04:18
...for shipping dried fish
to the city.
:04:21
Big demand there,
since this monster scare.
:04:24
Goodness, prices go up all the time.
:04:27
That's great.
Tell me, Mr. Fishfinger...
:04:29
...do you believe stories
about villages being destroyed?
:04:33
I haven't seen the monster myself.
:04:36
When I was in Muckley the other day--
:04:38
Muckley? That's a ways.
:04:41
Two miles or more, easy.
:04:43
Gosh, I'd like to travel someday.
:04:47
-About the monster....
-Yes.
:04:49
Well, this grain merchant,
over in Muckley...
:04:52
...he claimed that he'd
actually seen it.
:04:57
Turned his teeth snow-white
overnight, they say.
