Granted. Trailers show almost nothing of the movie, so now you have almost no idea what the movie is about.

I wish food was cheaper.

σπουδης, also surprisingly, is usually translated as "haste" in the Septuagint, except for one instance (that I have found) in Psalm 78:33, where it appears to be translated "trouble" This is a useful gloss to find for my research.

It's interesting that σαββατα αναπαουσιν is usually translated as "sabbath of rest" in the LXX. As of yet, I've found no more direct translations with other constructions of σαββατον and "rest"
This would bear further research, but I have other fish to fry.

      Praff faced the island once more, glancing at Torgen with a wry, unnatural smile, one missing the soft nuances of genuine happiness. Lazily lifting his left paw, he patted the captain's shoulder in a gesture he was confident represented reassurance, his tone and pitch relaxing almost jovially as he addressed the other weasel in turn, "You're right, of course! I speak to you not of certain demise, but a hushed possibility hidden behind vagrant numbers, and it seems to me you now understand enough, so concern yourself no longer with my absent ramblings." Praff strode back towards the steps, his goals accomplished well enough. It was no understatement to say that Torgen was a potent piece to have on the board in every regard, be they physical, strategic, or political in nature. The more closely aligned the two could keep to one another and their associated 'goals', the better off any serving under the same banner would be. Taking the first couple steps down, he remembered himself, "Ah, as for the fresh cuts you brought in-" he turned to answer the almost-forgotten question, "Let them be processed by the temple's accordance's as usual, if a single shipload were to be our downfall, then the fates have clearly already cast our lot!" Resuming his descent, Praff raised his voice to be heard as their distance slowly increased, "Congratulations on your record Torgen, you beat if by a headcount of four." He raised his arms, motioning to the island as a whole, "So relax and enjoy yourself, pleasure is just as great a sustenance as food after all!" His expression and body language returned to normal, having gained sufficient space from his kin, "Or so I've heard, anyway."

       Amidst all that ever was, and was to be, this day might be counted amongst the exceptional few where one might catch the snicker of these mischievous fates, after all, they did love their irony.

Forget "Pop Goes The Weasel", from now on it's "Pop Goes The Bunny"!
