:59:09
I knew it!
:59:11
It had to be you!
:59:13
Robert. Just in time for the dissection.
:59:16
How did you find out about the Sand-fairy?
:59:19
Thanks to you. Last night when you
went to the greenhouse, I followed you.

:59:23
For years I've wondered
why I was never allowed in.

:59:26
Now I know.
:59:28
I'm not sure if this Sand-fairy
is a crustacean or decapod or...

:59:31
Let It go.
:59:34
I need it to grant me my wish.
:59:36
- Wish? What are you talking about?
- I'm a Sand-fairy!

:59:40
There's a tiny clue in the name.
:59:43
- It can talk.
- You should hear me sing.

:59:49
Call it extra insurance.
:59:53
I, Charles Chicken...
:59:56
- Ahem.
- Ah.

:59:59
- Tea?
- Yes, thank you.

1:00:01
I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
1:00:03
No, no.
1:00:04
May I present my colleague
Professor Charles Chicken,

1:00:07
MA, BSc, EGG?
1:00:10
Not a lot going on behind that beak.
1:00:15
I wonder where the wishes come from.
1:00:17
Is it a gland?
1:00:19
Perhaps there's something about its brain.
1:00:21
Oh, hello. Good afternoon.
1:00:23
- Maybe I'll slice it down the middle.
- No!

1:00:25
I recognised you, Horace.
1:00:28
You're not like other children.
1:00:29
- I should hope not.
- No...

1:00:32
like a crazy kid experimenting
on things in the basement.

1:00:35
- That is you.
- Enough! It is time.

1:00:38
Wait, if you slice it open it can't give you a wish.
1:00:41
Are you suggesting I not perform
a proper exploratory dissection?

1:00:45
Yes, I am for that idea.
1:00:47
Let's have a vote, shall we?
1:00:49
All in favour of the non-slicing open
approach say aye.

1:00:52
Aye!
1:00:54
Surely the best way to find out where
wishes come from is to ask for one.

1:00:58
What could possibly go wrong?
