:08:01
That's a really nice way
of putting it, but still...

:08:03
Okay, I'll tell you what.
I'll hold it in.

:08:05
- Really?
-Yeah.

:08:07
That's so sweet.
:08:19
- You're screwing with me, right?
- Yeah.

:08:21
Okay.
:08:24
The female is pleased.
:08:26
The young male has great potential
for fatherhood, she feels.

:08:29
He'll provide well
for her cubs...

:08:31
and stick around long after
she is fat and bloated.

:08:36
She consumes fermented grain
to celebrate her good fortune.

:08:42
- See? I came back.
- Groovy. Let's dance.

:08:45
Oh. I don't know if
that's such a good idea.

:08:48
- You don't dance?
- No, I do, but like a white guy.

:08:52
I don't know if you're
impressed enough with me yet.

:08:55
Risk it.
:09:01
Okay. Just remember
I would've held it in for you.

:09:11
And so the male and female see their way
through the intricate dance...

:09:13
of the mating ritual.
:09:14
Both sides must play
their roles perfectly...

:09:16
confronting an infinite barrage
of obstacles...

:09:20
necessitating the involvement
of countless other humans...

:09:22
in order for the species
to reproduce.

:09:24
We don't know
if they will succeed.

:09:27
And if they don't, we will film
another couple who does.

:09:34
- Hey, you want to get some coffee?
- I have to get up early tomorrow.

:09:37
- Sorry.
-Jenny! There you are.

:09:39
- We've been looking for you.
- Guys, this is Billy.

:09:42
Billy, these are my two best friends,
Lydia and Lana.

:09:45
- Hi.
- Lydia? Hi. Lana, right?

:09:48
- It's the other way around.
- I meant it the other way around.

:09:51
The female shows the male
to her pack...

:09:54
but the male is not interested
in the female's pack.

:09:56
He wants to be
with the female alone.

:09:59
There is still something
he must get from her...
