1:05:01
I'm scared of you.
1:05:03
Yee-hah!
1:05:13
It will be my extreme pleasure
to report to the President

1:05:16
who has been gravely concerned
about the fate of our whooping cranes...

1:05:19
...and the Interior Secretary
and the American people

1:05:22
that the entire flock of cranes
is, indeed, at Siwash Lake,

1:05:25
and in apparently
healthy condition.

1:05:28
The cranes have built
brooding nests

1:05:30
around the entire
circumference of the lake,

1:05:32
and have hatched
chicks there.

1:05:34
Uh, including the young birds, there are
approximately 60 cranes in the flock.

1:05:38
While this is good news,
it's also quite bewildering.

1:05:41
Er, whooping cranes
are territorially-minded

1:05:44
and have never been known to nest
within a mile of each other,

1:05:47
and yet here they're
virtually side by side.

1:05:52
The whooping crane has been driven
to the edge of extinction...

1:05:55
...by an aggressive, brutal,
patriarchal system

1:05:58
intent on subduing
the earth

1:06:00
and establishing its dominion
over all things

1:06:03
In the name of God the Father,
law, order, and economic progress.

1:06:08
From men, the whooping crane
has received neither love nor respect.

1:06:13
Men have drained
the crane's marshes...

1:06:16
...stolen its eggs,
invaded its privacy,

1:06:18
polluted its food,
blown it apart with buckshot.

1:06:22
Obviously, a patriarchal society
does not deserve

1:06:24
anything as grand
and beautiful

1:06:26
and wild and free
as the whooping crane.

1:06:29
You men have failed
in your duty to the crane,

1:06:32
now it is women's turn.
1:06:34
The cranes are
in our charge now.

1:06:36
We will protect them as long
as they still require protection,

1:06:39
while working toward a day
when the creatures of this earth

1:06:42
no longer have to suffer man's egoism,
insensitivity, and greed.

1:06:47
We refuse your order.
We say...

1:06:50
...take your order and shove it.
- It's Jellybean!

1:06:52
This awesome bird's staying with us.
Get lost, mac.

1:06:57
I've pinned myself
against the wall

1:06:59
Stationed
like a horse in stall
