[ the video is fixed on what seems to be a backyard, although it's rather -- unique. for one, there are a lot of feeders hanging from the trees, and plenty of squirrels and birds around eating at them. for another, there is a chicken coop, although its residents are happily wandering outside of it for the time being. there's also what appears to be a vegetable garden in the far corner.

when he begins to talk from behind his laptop, he speaks asfastasever -- perhaps even a little quicker than usual? -- and it might be difficult at times to make out certain words. ]


Well... I thought perhaps the water was making me hallucinate at first, but I don't think that's the case. I can understand them... the animals, I mean. I think they can understand me too, but it's hard to tell. The chickens are easiest to talk to, but I think that's because I've raised them here for so long. Squirrels make for more interesting conversational partners, though.

[ ... ]

Does anybody have a housepet that I could try talking to for a few moments? 

I'd just like to confirm that this really isn't... a hallucination, or something.

Oh, the first ones I talked to were dolphins--I fell in a tank!

[And now they won't let him in the marine park anymore, long story. He'll turn the camera to face a large fish tank containing two spoiled goldfish.]

Sure, go on, try talking to 'em! They're great conversationalists!

Is that so?

[He looks curiously at the fish, like he's listening to something.]

I'm afraid they never heard you, chum.

Ah, I know how that goes! I can only talk to things that live in the water, like I said. I tried talking to the neighbors' dog, and nothing really happened!

OUTRAGEOUS! It's as good a way as any to have all of our bases covered!

[Someday, the network will have use of their unique Dr. Doolittle skillset. SOMEDAY.]

Oh, it's the BEST preparation! We'll be unstoppable!

Oh, of course! I wouldn't want to make anyone do anything they weren't comfortable with--that's just rude!

I know, RIGHT? People look at me funny when I introduce these guys as my roommates, but they're my FRIENDS!

[YES a kindred spirit...but now he's going to have to look into meat substitutes now that he knows other things talk, too.]

[Dude's going to need that, probably...]

I know! It's a darn shame! There's so much we can learn from animals!

Yeah, I don't think I'd be much in tune with it if I couldn't talk to the fish! But I'm glad I can--I've been missing out!

You know, it's the STRANGEST thing! They didn't seem bothered by it at all! Not that I WANT them breathing in that stuff, so I've been giving them the bottled water anyway.
