(CLATTERING)

(YAWNS)

There's a mysterious woman
in the kitchen.

How do you know she's mysterious?

What? I don't know who she is.

There's a mysterious woman
in the kitchen.

Well, ask her who she is.

(DOORS CLOSE)

Oh, um... (CLEARS THROAT)

Good morning.

Hello. I am the daughter of Mrs Mavrona.

Oh, how super.

Oh, Lugaretzia.

Her back is worse. I do her work today.

Oh, no, but you can't.

Your baby is about to pop out of you.

Oh, this?

No. Two weeks more. I work.

(CAR HORN HONKS)

All right.

Don't mollycoddle me.

I need to keep busy,
my husband's a nervous wreck.

Your house is always a tip.
I'll help clean.

Hormone inferno.

(EXHALES)

This takes me back.

I was pregnant for 10 years, you know.

Not with the same baby. (CHUCKLES)

All right. I also came
because I'm worried about you.

I hear your man Hugh
was seen kissing Vasilia.

Yes.

You have to talk to him about it.

I have. But men don't talk properly.

I'm finding it enough
of a struggle with my children.

I'd say Hugh is rather fluent.

LOUISA: Fluent isn't the same
as straightforward.

GERRY: Guess what?

I'm sure my otter's pregnant!

- Her nipples are massive!
- (ALL CHUCKLE)

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

I'm not an invalid.

More like an overripe fruit.

Thank you.

- You're quiet.
- Mmm.

Sorry to hear about Hugh.

Well, you know men.

Instant gratification
conquers the deeper joys,

like allegiance and love.

Not always.

You know, when I first met Hugh,
I thought here's a charming man

who can't quite decide
if he wants to be an adult.

Yep.

Hey.

Hello, Margo.

(CHUCKLES)

Just out of interest,
shouldn't you be attempting to tutor me?

Ah, yes. Erm, I know.

Er, let's do the Latin declension song.

# Mensa, mensa, mensam,
mensae, mensae, mensa

And the plural...

# Mensae, mensae, mensas

Altogether.

# Mensara, mensis, mensis #

(CHUCKLES)

I'd love us to be the kind of family
who could always talk to one another.

We are, aren't we?

Well, you haven't, recently.

Oh, sorry.

There's actually been a lot
going on in my head

since I realised Donald's quite
good looking especially with a tan,

if that's not too shallow.

- You know, darling...
- Even though, no, in fact.

Because he's not madly exciting.

It's lovely that I can talk about it,
because you're right.

We just forget to communicate, don't we?

And what I like about Donald
is that he's a good talker,

and not just about the things
I'm not interested in,

like science and numbers
and history, but about me, and...

Shall we continue with this later?

Mmm.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Mmm.

Are you enjoying being back home?

Well, I'm writing horseshit,
but I can't complain about the view.

Actually, maybe
the bloody view's the problem.

Well, there's less chance for visit
from a she-devil girlfriend.

Vasilia is beautiful.
It gives her privileges.

And obligations.
And she's not that beautiful.

Take away the cheekbones
and the hair and the lips

and she's really rather ordinary.

And I'm pleased I saw her kissing Hugh,

because now I know he can't be trusted.

For once, perhaps just acknowledge
that you're upset.

You really like Hugh?

Yes, I do.

But you don't believe
that Vasilia forced herself on him.

(SIGHS) I don't know.

You know, he's pressuring me
to go back to England.

Well, there are other men on the island.

Oh, no.

Well, talk to him.

Well, if you really
are writing horse ordure,

you can go into town
and buy some of that rubbing oil

that Lugaretzia likes.

Oh.

I have seen that face three times today

and if I see it once more,
I will slap it.

Do you know where Margo is?

No.

I'm going to go
and tell Theo she's pregnant.

What?

Oh. Nearly an amusing confusion.

I'm gonna buy her a present.

Margo, not your otter. (CHUCKLES)

It's all different
when you're in love, Gerry.

Everything's funny and sort of shiny.

LOUISA: Of course I miss England, but...
Well, this is our home now.

HUGH: I... I see this.

In... In exiles, the world over.

Their sense of absence, of amputation,

and eventually, it gets you.

After a year, or three,
or in my case, 20.

- My children love it here.
- Yes, me too.

But Greece will always be chaotic.

Money will be short.
We... We fry in summer

and grieve in winter for missed crispy,

frosted mornings.

Well, a bit.

And I'm going to convert England
to the joys of olive oil.

So, it's not as though
we won't visit here.

You do know England
can be rather dreary, don't you?

Yes, but not with me. I promise.

It's time to go home.

You have to come with me.

Let me think about it.

(HUGH CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS)

(SPEAKING IN GREEK)

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Theo, I think our otter's
about to give birth!

How fabulous!

I just have to conclude a meeting
of the Corfu Lunar Society.

Er, this is my friend, Gerald Durrell,
naturalist extraordinaire.

(SPEAKING IN GREEK)

(THEO SPEAKS GREEK)

(LAUGHTER)

(BLEATING)

Is it one big baby or two small ones?

One big.

Your husband must be thrilled.

- No.
- No.

What a miserable bastard. (CHUCKLES)

His mother died
when she give birth to him.

(BIRD CHIRPING)

If Hugh sent you, I'm still deciding.

(SIGHS)

I'm talking to animals now.

Gerry's work here is done.

(CHIRPING)

Perhaps, it is time to leave.

(SIGHS)

(FLUTE PLAYING IN THE DISTANCE)

(BIRDS CHIRP)

(PLAYS FLUTE)

(FLIES BUZZING)

(CHUCKLES)

Er... Can I buy your birds?

(GRUNTS)

How much? P�so?

(CHUCKLES)

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

Set them free?

(CHIRPING)

(GASPS)

(FLIES BUZZING)

(CHUCKLES)

(PLAYS FLUTE)

(GIVES WORK ORDER IN GREEK)

- Here you are.
- Yes.

You can't say no.

Do you realise
what you're asking me to do?

Abandon the place that my family
and I have come to love.

This... This has been
an adventure for you.

But holidays end.

I... I just met the Rose Beetle Man.

Do you know him?

What, the, erm...
Hobo with the mangy birds on his back?

Well, to me, it was magical and unique,

and you just don't get that
sort of thing in the home counties.

(SHOUTS) Afiste mas! Figetai!

(SIGHS)

I'm sorry. I'm just disappointed.

I'll stay here with you.

But you want to leave.

I... I won't be the one
to hold you back.

No. No, no.
We... We have to be together.

No, you'll resent me.

I can see it already in your eyes.

This is about Spiro, isn't it?

Don't be ridiculous.

He's a... A happily-married man.
He's a family friend.

When I gave you those first flowers,

those months ago, and he was there.

And I said to you,
"Careful, they have thorns."

- Hugh...
- Well, those thorns

were Spiros Americanos.

Come on, back in your cage.

You're scaring
the more attractive animals.

(LEONORA SCREAMING)

Oh, please, no.

(SCREAMING)

(PANTS)

- Tell me you've just spilt something.
- Baby water.

- It begins.
- All right, okay.

Well, let's, erm, not panic.

Then when we've done that...
What's the plan?

I have a baby.

Yes. But we must
get you to the doctor's.

- (WHIMPERS)
- Too late.

You are best child. You do it.

No. No, I'm not a midwife!

(SCREAMING IN PAIN)

Quite a hullabaloo you're making.

Leonora's broken her water!

Whatever it's called,
she's having her baby!

What's the hurry?

Labour often takes
24 hours or more, you know.

- Does it?
- Oh, yes.

Even still, go and get Dr Petrides.

What is it about me today
that cries out "errand boy"?

(GROANS)

Oh, I hope that's the right one.

(PANTING)

- Okay, I'm just going to...
- Come back!

I'm looking for a book
on how to give birth!

(CRIES OUT IN PAIN)

(SPEAKING IN GREEK)

(SPEAKING IN GREEK)

- (WHISPERS) Let's go, Gerry.
- Yes!

Dr Petrides?

My appendix has burst again!

Not really.

Hello, Doctor.

(WOMAN EXHALES)

(CRIES OUT IN PAIN)

You seem busy, but, er...

Get him out!

- Get out!
- Yeah, no. I'm sorry. Yes.

And breathe, breathe.

All fours, is that a new thing?

It's actually the best way
of giving birth.

They did a study in New York, I think...

You don't need to give him the details.

Lugaretzia's daughter
Leonora's water broke in our house.

Ah!

And she was just wondering
if you'd come home and deliver the baby.

You wouldn't ask if you knew how long

we've been waiting for this baby.

And Florence is...
Is not a young mother.

- Everything is much more dangerous.
- And I'm your wife!

- Yes.
- (SCREAMING IN PAIN)

How regular are Leonora's contractions?

LARRY: Well, she's not even
getting them yet.

I told her, "Have a cup of tea,
put your feet up and light up a cigar."

Well, I'm busy here.
So I'm gonna have to give you

a crash course in childbirth.

All right.

- Boil lots of water.
- Oh, yes. I knew that one.

(FLORENCE SCREAMING)

Imagine waves crashing
rhythmically on the beach.

- Me?
- No, my wife!

Of course. Yes, sorry. As you were.

(SCREAMING IN PAIN)

(LEONORA BREATHES HEAVILY)

(GROANS)

(SPEAKING IN GREEK)

So, it seems these are what
the encyclopaedia calls "paroxysms".

Lugaretzia, you must know what to do,
you've given birth twice.

Long time ago. I was there,
not here looking at the...

Sharp end. Yes, yes, yes.

"Presence at accouchement
is the sole preserve of the obstetrics."

Oh, thanks. That's really clear

when you're trying to help a lady
have a baby!

- (SCREAMS)
- No, no, no, it's all fine.

It's all fine. It's all under control.

"Modesty may be preserved
by the use of a blindfold

"on the part of the physician."

When was this written?

- How are you feeling?
- (SCOFFS)

Like I've been trampled underfoot
and left for dead.

That wasn't my intention.

I'm hardly going to
congratulate you on your decision.

(SIGHS)

Why can't there be some safe,
happy ground for men and women?

Somewhere between
possession and affection?

(SIGHS)

Always her.

Welcome to my leaving party.
I'm returning to England.

With... With this?

- "This"?
- (SIGHS)

No. It... It cannot happen.

We were together. What did I do wrong?

(SIGHS) You are utterly exhausting.

And so vain and proud
that you still can't see,

I don't love you, I love Louisa.

No!

- (GROANS)
- God!

What have you done?

Oh, dear. This is unfortunate.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

(GROANING)

Hold this. Tight.

I'm going to take your car and get help.

Well, drive carefully, please.
We don't want any accidents.

SPIROS: Mrs Durrells.

- Vasilia stabbed Hugh.
- No.

He's in the old olive grove,
by the well. He's all alone.

But he was conscious when I left him.

I know what to do. I'll go to him.

I'll fetch the doctor.

(ENGINE REVVING)

(ENGINE REVVING)

(SIGHS)

- Hello.
- Oh, hello.

What are you up to?

Nothing.

I'll buy you a drink.

Isn't it a bit early?

"There is a time to be born
and a time to die."

Nothing else should have a timetable.

You're so frigging deep.

- What's your book?
- Dr Petrides lent it to me.

"Practical Guide to Midwifery".

Oh, Leonora's waters have broken.
On our kitchen floor.

Doesn't that mean
she's about to have her baby?

Well, eventually.

I remember when Mum
went into labour with Gerry.

It took days.

Father took us to the zoo.

When we came back,
Mother was still at it.

So, we went back to the zoo.
And then the circus.

The one thing
I learnt from Vasilia is...

Don't go out with a girl like Vasilia?

I miss her, actually.

Not just the sex.

(GRUNTS IN DISGUST)

Although I was thinking,
perhaps one last time.

I should pop in and see her, actually.

MARGO: That's what I like about Corfu.

Nobody's in a rush.

(ENGINE REVVING)

Ah, the Angel of Death.

You probably think you can
cure this with olive oil, huh?

I could give it a try.

I have many reasons to let you die.

- You hate me.
- Yeah, well, you started it.

(GROANS)

And you drive a silly little car.
A red one.

(FABRIC RIPPING)

But now I have to keep you alive
for Mrs Durrells.

Hugh? Hey, Hugh?

Hugh!

Vasilia?

I'm getting terrible d�ja vu.

Oh, hello. Off somewhere nice?

Anywhere there are no British.

Ah, well, don't go to Malta.

Apparently, it's like a hot
Weston-super-Mare.

- What's happening?
- What was always going to happen.

Shouldn't you shut the door behind you?

The door is already shut behind me.

Can you stop talking like a crap oracle?

What a brilliantly odd day
this is turning out to be.

Hello! Help!

Oh, Dr Petrides!

- (SHOUTS) Dr Petrides!
- Ah...

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

LOUISA: You... You have to come. Now.

Right now!

Hugh's been stabbed.
He's bleeding badly.

Oh, you have to go!

Oh, I... I had false contractions.

You know, Braxton Hicks.

You're married to a doctor,
you think they know everything.

I'll stay here. I've had children.

If anything happens, I know
what to do at the sharp end.

- Please, go.
- I'll wait till you get back.

He's at his olive grove in Paramonas.

(SIGHS)

A stabbing puts this age-old
ritual into perspective.

Yes, it does.

Oh. (GROANS)

- All right?
- (BOTH LAUGH)

Yes. It's just more of... (SCREAMS)

Oh, no. Oh. That feels real.

It's all right. It's all right.

- Oh.
- Come on.

(CAR DRIVING AWAY)

Oh, no, no.

Don't worry. I'm here to look after you.

This must be the first time otters
have been bred in captivity on Corfu.

I'm nervous.

We are at the forefront
of a new science, Gerry.

Conservation in action.
I'm terribly excited.

GERRY: She's sort of rocking.

(LEONORA SCREAMING)

Probably Lugaretzia's daughter
giving birth.

What?

Nobody minds me watching
animals mate and produce,

but I'm not sure it's quite
the thing if it's a human.

(SCREAMING IN PAIN)

(SPEAKING IN GREEK)

Once again, I promise I'll forget
what I've seen as soon as this is over.

Now, this stage can, of course,
last for many, many...

Ah, that looks like
the tip of the head, mind you.

It's going to be all right, Lugaretzia.

I am scared. She is my best daughter.

I'm sure they're both excellent.

Don't worry,
it's looking good. Up there.

As far as one can ever tell.

Wait. We don't want her to feel
she's part of the grand tour.

Push! Push! You're doing well!

LUGARETZIA: Sproxe, paidi mou. Sproxe.

Let's leave Leslie to it.

- This may be the making of him.
- Yes.

That's it, Leonora!
Keep pushing! Keep going!

That's it! Keep it coming!

I want them to hear you in Albania!

(BOTH SCREAM)

I want my husband.

He won't be long.

He's saving a life. I hope.

How can a woman be so cruel?

Can we concentrate on me? Aah!

But he can't die.
That would be too neat.

What with you giving birth
to a beautiful healthy baby.

(CRIES OUT IN PAIN)

(SOBS)

I've waited too long for this baby.

I want it too much!

(WHISPERS) Come on.
Everything's gonna be all right.

Come on, Hugh. Wake up.

Hugh, do you hear me?

(SHOUTS) latre! Edo, latre!

- Latre! Edo!
- Erhome!

- Grigora!
Erhome, erhome, erhome!

His car kept stalling.

You should have taken mine.

Right, that's it. I'm gonna hit him.

(LAUGHS)

(WINCES)

- You did a good job.
- Really?

- Damn.
- (ALL LAUGH)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

Keep going! Keep going!

(SPEAKS GREEK)

It's a girl!

(BABY CRYING)

How did you get her all in there?

I suppose she must have been
folded up or something.

A koritsaki?

Oh, er, wait.

Read out, what do you
have to do afterwards?

- Erm...
- LESLIE: Quickly!

"Parturition may without jeopardy
or prejudice to health be achieved..."

Okay, forget it. Forget it.

I remember Gerry
saying something about animals

gnawing through it. So, erm...

So, I'm going to cut
the cord, obviously.

If you could just...

Two cubs. Produced in dignified silence.

(CHIRP)

(SIGHS) Let's hope they are
the Adam and Eve

of the otter population on Corfu.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh!

- (BABY CRYING)
- Ah!

(SPEAKS GREEK)

(BABY CRYING)

Prosohi!

No, it's fine, it's fine.

(CHUCKLES)

Ela, koritsaki.

(SPEAKS GREEK)

There's another one!

- No, Leslie. I think it may be...
- It's the placenta.

Oh, yes. False alarm. (CHUCKLES)

(BABY CRYING)

How long have you been there?

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

(LEONORA SPEAKS GREEK)

Leslie, come here.

(BABY CRYING)

(COOING IN GREEK)

I think I need to rest.

(BABY FUSSES)

(EXHALES)

Who does he look like?

My mother.

What happened?

He happened.

(BABY COOING)

- Is he well? Are you well?
- He is. We are.

Hugh needs to go to hospital in Athens,

in case of internal damage.

But he's alive.

Everyone's alive.

Hugh needs to give Spiro
a big bunch of flowers.

I'd like to be there for that.

Did the doctor have his baby?

Yes. Mother and son are wonderful.

Ah. (CHUCKLES)

I'm sorry I got you
embroiled in Vasilia.

Looks like you came off worse.

I... I should've been more gracious
when you turned me down.

I'll... I'll just miss you so much.

And I'll miss you, too.

You go on half your life
about olives, and then...

Well, you nearly die in an olive grove.

- Well, we all love a cosmic joke.
- (BOTH LAUGH)

Ow! (WINCES)

Mustn't laugh.

Well, can't sit around here all day.

No. (CHUCKLES)

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

(SOBBING)

(SOFTLY) Leslie deliver the baby.

Oh!

It's been quite a day.

Dr Petrides was busy, apparently.
So, I had to do it.

Oh, Leslie darling. I'm so proud of you.

Where have you been? You look a wreck.

I feel like one.

You should try delivering a baby.

I just have.

- Florence's.
- (GASPS)

- It's a boy.
- (EXHALES)

I have never seen more relieved
and excited parents.

Well, we must compare notes.

Was your placenta as enormous as mine?

LUGARETZIA: Where was the doctor?

He was busy tending to Hugh.

Vasilia stabbed him.

- No! Is he going to be all right?
- (LUGARETZIA EXCLAIMS IN GREEK)

I think so.

It was horrible. I was there.

Hugh and I have decided to part.

And as soon as he's patched up,
he's moving back to England.

I've spent the whole day
just missing everything interesting.

One of the otter cubs has died.

Oh, Gerry darling.

Oh.

Still, one's alive.

Would you say that
if they were human babies?

No. No, that's a good point.

(BABY COOING)

Ah, hooray!
I'll come to that in a minute.

First, let me present the man I want to
spend the rest of my life with.

LARRY: Oh.

Donald, come and see the baby.

This is Zoltan. We met a few days ago.

- Good evening.
- Oh.

You wouldn't be kissing that
if you knew where it'd been.

- Zoltan is so delightful.
- Yes, I am delightful.

- He's Turkish.
- (BABY CRYING)

Perhaps, the baby should leave.

(BELLS TINKLING)

(SNEEZES)

Bless you.

(PRAYING IN GREEK)

ALL: Amen.

(CHANTING DIVINE LITURGY)

ALL: Kyrie eleison,
Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison.

Pigenai.

(SPEAKING IN GREEK)

(BLOWS)

(SPITS)

Technically, as godfather, Leslie
has the right to choose the baby's name.

Don't tell him that.

- Why? What's his favourite name?
- Leslie.

(RECITES BAPTISM, NAMING "ANGELIKl")

(SPEAKING IN GREEK)

- (BABY CRIES)
- (SHUSHING)

Um, I don't know if this is allowed,

but I just wanted to say thank you
for letting me be godfather.

My own father died when I was young,

and if that ever happened
to little Angeliki here...

God forbid.

(SPEAKING IN GREEK)

Sorry. Although you do work
in a lumber mill,

which, you know, can be very dangerous.

If that happens, I'll be here to help.

I used to think
I was very unlucky in life,

and a bit of a liability.

But delivering the baby that day,
and being given this opportunity,

it's made me feel very lucky indeed.

(BABY FUSSES)

- (ALL GASP)
- LESLIE: It's fine.

No, it's fine. I'm a good catch.

I think it was the oil.

- (INDISTINCT TALKING)
- (BELL TOLLING)

So, I haven't actually ruled out
training to be a doctor.

I've sent off for details.

And I think you can do it
via correspondence.

Mmm.

So, Hugh is halfway back to England.

Yes. Yes, in a tiny sports car
loaded with olives.

Full of hope.

I just didn't love him enough.

I wonder where Vasilia went.

- It seems she has escaped from Corfu.
- Mmm.

I can't help imagining her
on horseback, somewhere in Tuscany,

desperately trying
to catch up with Hugh.

(LAUGHS)

- You write, I believe.
- Yes.

Yes, I'll lend you my novel.

I always feel
I could write superbly if I tried.

Hmm.

And I swim superbly. So, I have no fear.

What does Margo see in you?

When I ride the horse, I have no fear,

for I ride superbly.

You see, I am not a fearful man.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

Well, my ferry leaves shortly.

Donald, I'm so sorry I don't love you.

No. No, absolutely. It's... It's fine.

It's like Mother with Hugh.

If there's something missing,
like the yeast in bread,

a couple will never rise.

We just didn't have the yeast.

Well, good luck with Zoltan.

He's superb, isn't he?

- No, he's not.
- Oh.

In fact, I'd say, you couldn't
pick a worse boyfriend

if you scoured the world's prisons.

And I have more yeast inside me
than he'll ever have.

You see, now I'm
starting to like you again

because you're being more interesting.

(BABY CRYING)

(LAUGHS) It's true.

Dr Petrides had to dash off.

A child ate a poisonous frog
or something.

Oh!

(BABY CRYING)

You need to take your baby.

Oh, yes.

That's it, isn't it?

There's no time to myself anymore.

So, how close were you
to taking us back to England?

I... I would've stayed anyway.

No, you'd follow us wherever we go.

There's no escape.

But we should stay here
as long as we can.

And I'll try to be more like Spiro.

In love with life and people.

And I don't care
if that sounds sentimental.

(LAUGHS)

MAN: Opa!

(MAN SPEAKS GREEK)

Right. Let's go home.

Gerry. Gerry.

Margo.

(KISSES)

- (GREETINGS IN GREEK)
- Bye, Gerry.

(DONALD YELLS)

Finally, a fight.
I can write about this.

- Oh, God.
- No, no, no, let them.

I've never had men fight over me before.

Right. Larry.

Come on.

Come on.

Erm, where's Leslie?

Oh, I think he's retelling
the story of the birth

to one of Lugaretzia's nieces.

The last time I heard him,
he delivered it

while being attacked by otters.

- Leslie?
- Leslie?

- Les?
- Les?

ALL: Leslie!

- Nothing.
- (ALL LAUGH)

Very good, Leslie. Really good.

(GIGGLES)

I love you all very much, you know.

Sorry.

(SIGHS)
