00:00Welcome to Buenos Aires.
00:02Got anything to declare?
00:03Uh, no.
00:07Stop, sir. What is in your bag? Show me now.
00:13Where is he from? Is he your pet?
00:17I rescued him from an oil slick, and now he thinks he's my friend, but he's not my friend.
00:21Why did you save his life?
00:23I was trying to impress a woman I wanted to sleep with.
00:26Go and be free in the sea.
00:36Welcome to a St. George's school.
00:38Argentina's in chaos. A coup is imminent.
00:41Whatever opinions you have, keep them to yourself.
00:45And no smoking, no pets.
00:48If you keep this between ourselves, I'll let you all feed him some fish.
00:52If you keep this between ourselves, I'll let you all feed him some fish. Deal?
00:57Yes, yes, he's okay with that.
01:03What is he doing here?
01:05I have to take him to a zoo.
01:07Why do you want to lock him up?
01:09Just obeying the rules.
01:10And you always obey the rules.
01:13What's your story?
01:14I find people so interesting. Don't you?
01:18Uh, no.
01:23I used to be young and idealistic like you, but I lost something.
01:31And I was scared.
01:33Life changes you.
01:35Then I look forward to being all cynical.
01:37What do you think?
01:42Everyone is looking for something.
01:44What are you looking for?
01:48Someone to make a difference.
01:52I had you as a head-down sort of fella.
01:55What happened to you?
01:57I met a penguin.
02:03You have a penguin in there?
02:05A penguin.
02:06A penguin?
02:10Yes.
