00:00Welcome to Buenos Aires.
00:02Can I take the 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.
00:18And 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.
00:25Go and be free in the sea.
00:39Welcome to St. George's School.
00:41Argentina's in chaos. The coup is imminent.
00:44Whatever opinions you have, keep them to yourself.
00:47And no smoking, no pets.
00:50If 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.
01:06Why 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.
01:25I used to be young and idealistic like you.
01:28But I lost something.
01:32And I was scared.
01:34Life changes you.
01:35Then I look forward to being all cynical.
01:38What do you think?
01:42Everyone is looking for something.
01:44What are you looking for?
01:48I want to make a difference.
01:52I had you as a head-down sort of fella.
01:54What happened to you?
01:57I met a penguin.
02:03You have a penguin in there?
02:04A penguin.
02:06A penguin.
02:10Yes.
