Professor Summerlee...
:07:06
...I wonder if you would be kind enough
to identify something for me.
:07:12
I will take questions at the end.
:07:15
I'm sure you will.
Let's have a look at this first.
:07:22
Now...
:07:24
...what do you make of that?
:07:31
It appears to be
a remarkably well-preserved fossil
:07:35
of the forearm of a pterosaur,
a flying reptile of the Mesozoic period.
:07:41
But it isn't a fossil, is it?
:07:46
There's something up here.
Make sure you get all this down.
:07:50
Must be a fake.
:07:53
Clever, undoubtedly, but a fake.
:07:57
This bone came from an animal...
:08:03
...that died just two months ago.
:08:06
Rubbish!
:08:09
- This is genuine, Challenger?
- Yes.
:08:13
I say that with authority.
:08:15
- What authority?
- Because I shot it myself.
:08:23
The pterosaur, far from being extinct,
:08:26
is alive and well
and living in the Amazon rainforest.
:08:31
This man is an attention-seeking charlatan!
:08:34
Hear, hear!
:08:36
I came here tonight to propose an expedition
:08:41
to discover the lair of the pterosaur.
:08:48
- This stunt is beneath even you, George.
- It's no stunt, Leo.
:08:51
I should like to express my thanks
to Professor Challenger.
:08:56
I've not been so well amused
since I read Professor Challenger's paper
