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?
1:01:00
Surprisingly good thinking, Robert.
1:01:02
Then we can study the wish
under strict laboratory conditions.

1:01:05
But... what to wish for?
1:01:09
What a delicious monster collection you have.
1:01:12
Now I have you to complete it.
1:01:14
Oh, no.
1:01:15
As fine a prize as I am,
1:01:17
you are yet missing one vital beast.
1:01:21
Nice egg.
1:01:22
Tyrannosaurus, if I'm not mistaken.
1:01:25
Just make one... little... wish.
1:01:29
Come on, Horace.
1:01:31
- You know you want to.
- OK.

1:01:34
I wish for the egg to hatch.
1:01:47
That's rubbish.
1:01:50
I know you don't trust the Sand-fairy...
1:01:52
- Cyril, come quick!
- Where have you been?

1:01:55
- Sand-fairy.
- But that's where we're going.

1:01:57
No, you can't. He isn't there.
1:01:59
What are you talking about?
