:23:00
you didn't keep track
of which number was mine.
:23:01
I know no one
can be that dumb.
:23:04
But just in case,
it's 310-555-0181.
:23:07
- Now use it.
- Yes!
:23:10
But it is the second
Of the female's mating cries...
:23:11
that causes the male
to go rabid.
:23:14
Mating is imminent,
and he knows it.
:23:18
The female prepares carefully
for her next encounter with the male.
:23:22
She paints her face with berries
and chemically processed colors...
:23:25
hiding from the male
her natural state...
:23:27
which she hopes to show him
at a later time.
:23:31
She uses chemically altered forms of
vegetation to cover parts of her body.
:23:35
Then other forms of vegetation
over those.
:23:38
She leaves much of her body
uncovered...
:23:41
but is careful to cover
the first layer of vegetation.
:23:46
She puts the excretions of
small, sea-dwelling creatures...
:23:49
through holes in the lobes
of her hearing organs...
:23:51
which she had mutilated
long ago...
:23:53
as a symbol of her entry
into womanhood.
:23:57
She pulls a bone
:24:00
She is ready.
:24:06
The male has a much more
arduous task.
:24:09
He must appear strong
to the female...
:24:12
so strong that he doesn't care
how he appears.
:24:14
It is this appearance
he must strive for.
:24:18
He uses a hydrogen and oxygen
mixture with some animal fat...
:24:22
to remove the planet's
nourishment from his body.
:24:27
He debates over removing
the fur from his face...
:24:29
with an artificial
tooth of steel.
:24:31
He ponders this
for a long time...
:24:33
before deciding to keep the fur
as a display of his masculinity...
:24:37
then changes his mind again.
:24:41
Meticulously,
he combs his hair...
:24:43
making certain
that it appears uncombed.
:24:49
He covers his body with
the same vegetation as the female...
:24:53
then his upper torso
with the hair of one creature...
:24:56
and that with the hide
of another.
:24:59
Now he is ready.
