Okay cat. Hello lions. Hello lions! What'ya doin'? What's that rogue Togar doing here? God, Togar, why today of all days? Madeleine Good lord! Look what the cat dragged in! Dialogue Hank: Say hello to Henry the jaguar would ya? Mativo: Not today! Jerry: It'll sure be great seeing him after three years! Melanie: Yeah! I couldn't believe how fast he split for Africa after he got his grant, and the zoo let him take the little cubs he raised. John: [chuckles] You'd think he'd take the kids he raised! Hank: Prentiss, your actions aren't necessary. The government knows there's a better way; they're moving the people out of the migration paths. I don't know what kind of person like you could look into the eyes of 200 elephants and put out those lights. They'd run franticly and panic... Prentiss: [interrupts Hank] Do you think your lions would run in panic? Hank: Well, you'd better start with me first. Prentiss: No, I'll start with the tigers first; that'll teach you for bringing them to Africa!
