SCRIPT:
Apart from the walrus herd a female shelters her new prize. It’s her newborn calf sporting an old man’s moustache. Just hours old he’s still trailing his umbilical cord.
Why mothers leave the herd to give birth is a mystery. Perhaps to get away from the herd’s collective smell which attracts predators. Perhaps to keep her baby away from the jostling of giants.
He weighs 100 pounds to her 1500. Sensitive whiskers memorize each other’s face.
The hungry calf was born on the ice but can swim and nurse underwater within hours.
Two weeks later the walrus mother still keeps her calf apart from the herd. Nursing greedily he’s packing on a pound and a half a day.
Another female has joined the pair and seems to be landing a hand with parenting duties. Whether she’s acting as a nanny or simply as another pair of weary eyes in bear country, the mother seems content to have her around.
Still she frequently hugs her baby. In these tactile creatures contact and reassurance go hand in hand. It will be a while before she lets him beyond her reach.

And I ...........
In everything

Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who ...........
My darling

My darling
I miss you
My darling

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh

I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever, Who knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
'fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
