Plot: The highly anticipated, comic and controversial feature documentary, "Flock of Dodos: the evolution-intelligent design circus," is the first feature film to take an even-handed look at the intelligent design vs. evolution clash that appeared on the covers of Time and Newsweek in 2005. Filmmaker, scientist, surfer and evolutionary biologist Dr. Randy Olson explores the controversy over the teaching of evolution and the recently developed alternative, intelligent design. Olson, a native of Kansas, visits his home state and the community of Dover, Pennsylvania, which attempted to introduce intelligent design in science classes. Olson draws on basic aspects of evolution as metaphors, including the extinct dodo, which he suggests symbolizes what happens to those unable to change with their environment. Featured are seven top advocates for intelligent design, including Dr. Michael Behe, author of "Darwin's Black Box," fourteen evolution Ph.D.'s, a poker game among eight evolutionists, a rabbit eating its own poop, and a flock of animated dodos playing poker, dancing, and helping the audience answer the question, "who really is the 'flock of dodos?'"

Quotes:

[Discussing the contract with John Doe]::Henry Connel: On December 26th, you get one railroad ticket... out of town. And the Bulletin agrees to pay to have your arm fixed. That's what you want, isn't it?::Long John Willoughby: Yeah, but, it's gotta be by "Bonesetter" Brown.

The Colonel: I don't read no papers, and I don't listen to radios either. I know the world's been shaved by a drunken barber, and I don't have to read it.

Long John Willoughby: Hey, stop worryin', Colonel, fifty bucks ain't gonna ruin me.::The Colonel: I've seen plenty of fellas start out with fifty bucks and wind up with a *bank* account!::Beany: Hey, what's wrong with a bank account, anyway?::The Colonel: And let me tell you, Long John, when you become a guy with a bank account, they gotcha! Yes sir, they gotcha!::Beany: Who's got him?::The Colonel: The helots!

Mayor Hawkins: O.K. folks, but remember your manners. No stampeding. Walk slow, like you do when you come to pay your taxes.

Angelface: [after Willoughby gives the Colonel the $50 to give away] Say, he's giving it away. I better get me some of that::Beany: Hey, come back here you helot.

D. B. Norton: You'll play your cards right and you'll never have to worry about money again.

D. B. Norton: From now on, I think you'd better work directly with me.

The Colonel: $5,000. Holy mackerel! I can see the helots coming now. A whole army of them.

Ann: Everything in that speech is what a certain man believed in. He was my father. When he talked people listened. They will listen to you too.

Henry Connel: Listen, if that guy lays an egg I want to get *something* out of it! I'm getting a Jane Doe ready.
