Why? We're just pieces of crap. Christmas
isn't for us.
MR. HANKEY
Christmas is about feeling good. That's
for everybody!
CORNWALLIS
I see the Nativity. There's angels,
shepherds and sheep. But no poo. All
the Christmas movies: Santa, elves,
reindeer. No poo. I'm not a part of
it.
MR. HANKEY
No, you're not a part of it, Carnwallis.
You're all of it. Don't you see?
CORNWALLIS
I'm nothing but crap!
MR. HANKEY
But crap is everything.
Everything that lives on earth poos in some way
And that's how the cycle happens, each and every day
Just look at the green green grass and the birds up in the sky
It's all here because of poo, and now I'll tell you why
'Cause it's eaten by cattle, which is eaten by women and men
It fuses with their bodies and becomes poo again
And that poo goes through the sewer, where it's dumped into the sea.
And it's eaten by the plankton, and becomes the fishes' meal.
And then that bigger fish with the poo still inside
Swims up near the shore and gets eaten alive
By the grizzly bear that poos on a dead piece of sand
So it can spring to life and become food for the land
It's the poo of the antelope, the poo of the giraffe
It falls onto the earth and becomes the blades of grass
The grass is eaten by the cattle, which comes out the other end
To make food for the humans and start all over again
You see, son? You're not an insignificant part of life. You are life.
CORNWALLIS
But how can I be that giraffe and blade
of grass, and a human? I don't control
what they do.
MR. HANKEY
Just like your heart beats without
you thinking about it, so, too, your
giraffes and your humans do what they
do without you even thinkin' about it.
But it is all one life form. It is all...
you.
CORNWALLIS
I think I see now.
I'm the poo of the antelope, that flows down to the ground
MR. HANKEY
Becomes the grass of tomorrow
MR. HANKEY
Which the grazers turn around
CORNWALLIS
So I'm the leg of a leopard and the
wings of a hen
That's the Circle, the Circle of Poo!
