:30:01
Yes, she does.
:30:03
Mommy loves you...
:30:07
loves you, loves you.
:30:10
She loves you.
:30:13
Dad!
:30:15
Yeah, I was real lucky.
:30:18
The male's task...
:30:20
is to determine
if the female is ready.

:30:23
Moving too soon or too late
May result in disaster.

:30:27
But the human female
emits no odor to let him know.

:30:31
- What?
- Oh...

:30:37
What were your parents like?
:30:40
They're great.
:30:42
The female is ready.
:30:45
But she must wait for the male
to figure this out on his own.

:30:48
She can emit no odor
to help him.

:30:50
In fact, to do so
would be disastrous.

:30:59
They move toward each other...
:31:01
slowly, cautiously.
:31:07
The future of their species
dependent on the next few seconds.

:31:17
- The male wonders how he can...
- Are you okay?

:31:20
- make her think he did this on purpose.
- Yeah.

:31:23
Is it too late to point out
how romantic the stars look at night?

:31:27
- But he fails.
- I'll race you to the water fountain.

:31:31
Man.
:31:35
Like so many creatures
on so many planets...

:31:38
nothing gives more pleasure
than a simple run...

:31:40
through the darkened vegetation
of one's habitat...

:31:42
toward a pure, crystal spring.
:31:45
- Beat you.
- Oh, would you?

:31:57
They move toward each other
and they brush lips.
