Quotes

Tringham: [in a flashback voiceover] The skuas say in effect to the penguins, 'We'll keep the other skuas off in return for a fair share of your eggs and chicks.' In this way nature ensures the survival of a sufficient number of penguin chicks. A providence no to be despised by the thinking scientist.

Richard Forbush: [to the predatory skuas] Retribution is near my fine feathered friends. Make no mistake about that.

Share this

Richard Forbush: [as he spots the first lone penguin waddling down a snowy hillside] Most revered and welcome bird! I greet you!
