Mr. Hankey: 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 Grass is eaten by the 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 Cornwallis: Yeah Mr. Hankey: Which the grazers turn around Cornwallis: So I'm the leg of a leopard and the wings of a hen Mr. Hankey, Cornwallis: Which becomes dinner for the human and turns back to poo again. That's the Circle, the Circle of Poo!
