What's that noise?
:23:06
I don't know.
:23:11
Be careful. Don't get too close.
You might get savaged.

:23:15
By a dead starfish with an onion stuck on it.
:23:17
It's not. It's called Megastarrium
and it's a monster. They're all monsters.

:23:21
Look.
:23:23
Ooh, that was scary - very scary.
:23:27
- Oh, no! It's me.
- This is not good.

:23:29
If Uncle hears it, we're for it.
:23:32
Here. Wait there.
:23:34
I'll try and distract him.
:23:36
I was hoping you could teach me
the more finer points of monster er...

:23:39
Monster mastery?
:23:40
- Please.
- You're in for a treat.

:23:47
Who dares sally forth
to the dragon's lair?

:23:52
It's Cyril, Uncle.
:23:53
Yes, Cyril. Mm.
:23:55
Yeah, popular name these days.
:23:56
Seems every other boy I meet
is called Squirrel - Cyril. Cyril!

:24:02
I've come to see what you're writing.
:24:04
Really?
:24:05
I like to do sums.
:24:08
- The harder, the better.
- Plucky chap! Come in.

:24:16
Let us make maths your mistress.
Ignite the mind.

:24:19
I am going to set you the most
difficult sum you have ever seen.

:24:24
Exciting, eh? It's here... somewhere.
:24:26
Ahh...
:24:29
Ooh.
:24:39
I know how you feel.
:24:42
It's beautiful, isn't it?
:24:44
There's no need to rush.
:24:46
Enjoy.
:24:47
Savour the sum.
:24:50
Let it wash over you.
:24:57
And once you gain its trust...
it's yours for life.
