DEATH LAID AN EGG

TIRED MOTORISTS, GET SOME REST!

- How's the new machinery, all good? - Yes, it's up and running.

It was a good idea. There's no other way.

Tighten production costs or die. Don't expect any help from anyone.

Did they tell you there's going to be a screening?

- I don't know, they called me. - A screening? Nobody told me.

You don't know? It's very disturbing...

- Something pornographic? - This is no laughing matter.

It's about what they'll be discussing at the congress in Amsterdam.

Embryo modification.

I hear there have been some big breakthroughs, we should go to Amsterdam.

Embryo modification! It would save us.

They've been talking about it for ages, let's hope it's real this time.

Want to see? It's very interesting.

Here, under the microscope. I'll get it in focus.

They're embryo cells extracted from a cancerous solution.

See how they struggle as they work to create a new structure?

- Can you see? - Yes, I see, it's so interesting!

Gabri, look!

Unfortunately, the biggest hurdle is that the cells die after some time.

Ancl therein lies the real problem.

Injecting live growth tissue with a force a thousand times more powerful.

Incredible!

It sounds so fantastic, even if I don't understand any of it.

LGt me SEE.

What if the experiment fails?

They die.

Look at them.

Excuse me if I continue with my work.

Do you see? All those marvellous colours.

I'd like something similar to happen inside me as well.

Are you crazy? It's cancer!

No, you don't get it, I was thinking about the need to change ones' self.

I'd like... I can't even explain it myself.

I'd like to transform myself, change, become something else.

Something that changes every clay until it explodes.

No, listen, you scare me when you talk like that.

Why?

Have you noticed Marco? He's been acting strangely for a while.

- As though he's hiding something. - What would he be hiding?

I don't know, but I want to know what it is.

And I'm sure we'll figure it out together.

- It will only be possible with you. - Together? But how?

Leave it to me, you'll see.

You and I can get to him better than if I were to try alone.

Speak quietly, he's listening.

As far as the public's concerned, our sector has clone nothing wrong.

We've got to get the message across that chicken is accessible every clay!

- Chicken's like bread! - Very good, like bread!

- Bread that's all meat. - Great slogan!

And now for the main event, the screening's ready.

Listen, to me this is extraordinary.

If this is the right path, the future outlook is clear.

Clear, my foot!

We can't just wait for these great results with our hands in our pockets.

Do we want to close the farms?

This is a political battle and we need to start fighting!

We're producers tied to the immediate economic reality.

- Nobody says otherwise! - Silence, please, gentlemen!

SHence!

Stop interrupting!

Marco!

It really is you.

What? Don't you recognise me?

Sure. What are you doing here?

It's been quite a while.

Just think, I even recognised you in the dark.

- You don't know what that means to me. - I also recognised you straight away.

I've been sick, real sick.

What is it?

- You look worried. - No, not at all.

Perhaps I disturbed you.

- Listen, why don't we get out of here? - Yes, OK.

Ten years away. Just think, it's my city.

I was born and raised here, and I look around...

and I don't recognise anything or anyone.

Electroshock therapy. They erased my memory.

D0 you understand why I'm so happy to see you again, to recognise you?

What about your business? Your law firm?

Who cares? I'm not bothered about that, I came back to get better.

- I can't live without my past. - And I'd like to say goodbye to mine.

I can't find the streets anymore, or the people.

I'm outside! Outside!

You may just be the luckiest man in the world.

- Who are you? How did you get in? - The door was open.

Sorry, I'm an old friend of Marco's, I need to speak to him.

- Marco's busy. - I know, but it's urgent...

Luigi.

What are you doing here? How are you?

- I need your help. - Of course, come in.

He's an old friend. I'll explain later.

What's going on?

I got lost, then I saw some lights and it was your house.

I don't understand, what's he saying?

I was looking for a road lined with trees, that splits into two.

- But I couldn't find it. - He's looking for a road.

There's no road that splits into two around here.

You understand me, right?

Of course I understand you.

Why don't you stay?

Come.

N0, listen, I'm going. There are too many people.

- We're all friends. - Perhaps there's someone you know.

- What are they doing? - It's just a game.

It's the game of truth, in a naked room.

Naked? Empty?

A naked room.

No, I'm getting out of here.

- But why? Stay. - I can't, I have to go.

I have so much to do.

- I'll see you out. - No, thanks, alone...

I like to find my way out alone.

- G0 easy on him, he's sick. - Crazy, I'd say.

Why did he come here? How did he find our house?

And how do you know him?

I don't remember, I hadn't seen him for years.

You've never mentioned him.

I had a life before I met you.

And what could have brought him here tonight?

And the kind missionary said, "Do you see this egg?"

That's how they live on crocodile island.

- It always ends like this. - It's dangerous!

Yes, but it's exciting!

And by the time it was... The three things?

Wait.

I don't remember anymore!

I don't remember.

Why?

Hound-dogs!

Come out, lo w-lifes!

It's time to end this!

Murderers!

Leeches!

The machinery belongs to everyone!

You'll pay for this!

You'll have to deal with the unions!

We've reached a breaking point!

The pressure to drop prices is becoming intolerable!

Current importation regulations aren't enough.

The government must guarantee the full integration of our products...

in all key social institutions.

Our chickens have to enter into public administration, in the army...

in prisons, in schools, in hospitals and hospices!

Gentlemen, chicken must be free to circulate globally!

Hi.

I saw you leave the agency but I didn't think I'd catch up with you.

What are you doing? Going on a trip?

Not me, my wife.

I got her a ticket to Amsterdam, she's going to an international congress.

I must apologise for the other night, I wasn't feeling well.

I needed to see you, I didn't think you'd have company.

Come on, sometimes you get together to have fun...

and then suddenly everyone gets nervous.

Yes, it's true, your wife seemed embarrassed, but I was right.

That road exists and it splits in two.

- She kept saying it didn't. - She's been very irritable lately.

Hopefully the trip will do her good.

I don't know why she was upset. The road doesn't matter.

It's the possibility of remembering it, of finding it, and I found it.

And I've got so many other things to find.

The inevitable moment has arrived.

The opening of international barriers.

We must knock down this wall of ignorance and prejudice.

Our chickens want freedom and we'll give it to them.

Let's expand the markets.

Let the world finally recognise free global movement.
