Thank you.

Again, let me say, you're more than welcome to stay at the house.

Well, if I'm to become a game warden, I should learn how to live in the bush.

Well, I must say, you certainly picked a nice spot.

Yes, it is.

Now, when do I start learning about the animals?

There's no time like the present.

Senor Perez, meet two of the friendliest animals and all of that.

Senor Perez, this is Judy.

Well, thank you, Judy.

Well,

it looks as if you've made a conquest here.

No, it is she that made the conquest.

Oh, senora, this is my daughter, Paula.

Paula, this is Senor Perez.

Hello. Hello, how are you? Fine, thank you.

Hey, hey, hey, Clarence, come on now, cut that out.

Well, I was told at the warden's school at Nagoro that a lion will not attack a

man unless it's provoked.

Oh, yes, that's right.

Nobody provoked him. Why is he growling?

I don't know.

Funny, usually he's the friendliest animal in the compound.

We sort of look upon him as an overstuffed house cat.

Well, you'd better take Clarence back to the house.

Okay, Dad.

Oh, by the way, Mike's developing those X -rays on the dog, and he wants you to

look at them.

Oh, oh, yes, good. Good, thank you.

Well, Senor Perez, if you care to join us, we will be on the veranda.

Thank you. I will later. With your permission, I'd like to rest for a

Yes, of course.

Okay, Judy, let's go.

Judy, don't you want to come?

Well, as I said, Senor, it looks as if you've made a conquest.

Hasta la vista.

Little one, where did you find?

Yes, you little one, you're right.

I'm no student game warden.

I'm a torero.

I'm a killer of bulls. A matador.

A matador that lost his courage.

I must find it back at any cost.

He's upset and disturbed, but not much.

Well, those plates are going to be ready.

Now, Mike's bringing them.

Well, his saliva's okay. No for me to inexorabilis. Well, look.

Say, Will, where did he come from?

Well, he found him out in the bush when he was a pup.

He must have been abandoned by one of the ranchers on the other side of the

reserve.

The infection trained him, and he was coming along fine.

Then suddenly he ran off and started attacking native goats and chickens.

So we tranquilized him and brought him back.

Look at this, boss.

Oh, a brain tumor. No wonder he's acting so safely.

Let's get him ready for surgery.

He seems calm now.

It's intermittent pain.

See, fellas, while he's still calm, why don't you take him on up to the clinic?

I'll join you in a few minutes.

All right.

Well, now, senor.

So you feel like...

You'd like to become a game warden, huh?

Yes, very much.

This is why the authorities have no go to have something here.

Well, have you had any prior experience in animals?

Experience?

Yes, I've had a lot of experience.

In my country, I've been around animals which were more or less confined.

Oh, in zoos?

Yes, you might say that.

Señor, I'm a very proud man.

The word coward is a very difficult word for me to say.

You see, the truth of the matter is that now lately I have become deathly afraid

of animals.

It's an insane fear. It's an irrational fear to one with ambitions involving

animals. Did you tell the authorities about this fear when you applied for

training as a game warden?

No, I did not.

I thought I might be able to get rid of this fear by coming here.

Can you please help me?

Well, you certainly present an interesting challenge.

Oi!

Oi!

What's the matter?

Dog got loose, went through there.

Oh.

Jack. Go tell Paul to get all the small animals inside.

And that includes Judy and Toto. Right. Mike, get the hypodart rifles.

Head north towards the river.

We'll head towards the south waterhole. Right. Keep in touch. Come on.

Wait. Wait a minute.

Did I hear you say we?

That's right.

You're going on your first field trip as of right now.

Well, shouldn't we wait until I get a little better oriented?

Well, no better way to learn than during an actual emergency.

Come on. Let's go. Let's go.

Well, there's no sign of a dog.

I'll tell you what.

You see those giraffe over there?

Uh -huh.

Well, let's start you off with them. See how close you can get to them.

You mean just walk them?

Oh, sure. They're very shy creatures.

Believe me, they'll bolt before you get within 100 yards of them.

Perhaps a dog is around. Oh, no, no, no chance of that.

Well, if he were, they'd have taken off long ago.

Come on, believe me, it's all right.

Thank you.

Sorry, I certainly gave you a bum steer.

It's funny, I thought I knew those animals.

You said they're going to bolt. They just stood there.

I know.

Well, you just did something with those giraffes that I've never seen before.

And frankly, I never thought I would see.

Perhaps they sensed my bravery.

Really, giraffes in the bush just don't allow people to get that close to them.

You don't understand it.

You don't have to whisper. They know we're here.

Come on, let's get a little closer.

Oh, wait a minute.

Leave the truck? Was that unarmed?

Oh, we're not unarmed.

We're armed with knowledge.

You know a man can walk all over Africa without a gun?

Knowledge is what you need, Senor Perez, to get over your fears.

Come on, we won't get close enough to worry them.

Don't you think we're close enough?

Oh, no, we can get much closer. Come on.

All right, he's back.

He's back, sir.

You sit much closer. All right, I was wrong about that, but never run away

a lion.

You know, Tracy, perhaps I have the wrong picture.

I mean, I think maybe you're right.

Well, after all my years in the bush, I should be prepared for the unexpected.

Well, I guess there's always room for surprises.

Now you two listen to me. There is a killer dog loose, and if you don't stay

on that porch, I'm going to have to put you in a cage for your own protection.

You wouldn't like that, would you?

Okay,

behave yourself.

Oh, the Columbus monkey.

Well, they know she's had her dinner. They would have scattered long before

Who's had her dinner?

Oh, didn't you see her?

Right over there.

I swear to myself I'm never going to run again.

How can you tell it's a she?

Well, now, can't you see that warm, motherly expression in her eyes?

Go on.

Look. What, the dog?

No, the leopard.

The leopard?

Sorry.

You mean a python and a leopard in the same neighborhood?

Are they friends or something?

Well, let's put it this way. They're a pretty even match. There's no sense in

starting a war that neither one could win.

He's going to attack.

Come on, run.

All right, now.

You don't want to be disagreeable now, do you, huh?

That's a good boy.

A good boy.

Yeah.

I'm not going to cause you any trouble. You don't cause me any trouble, all

right?

That was one war the leopard could have won.

But I can't figure out why he... Well, I think that's enough for one there.

Let's go on back to the compound. At least there the animals are predictable.

What is it, Clarence? What's the matter?

Serene, cut that out.

You better get up on the porch, Senor Perez.

Devil.

An old animal. The whole kingdom is going crazy today.

We locked up all the small animals, Marsh. Say, but did we get that dog

No, we're good.

No, help yourself.

Maybe we'll have better luck tomorrow.

Wild dog hunting can sure work up an appetite.

Well, incidentally, Senor Perez is skipping dinner tonight.

Well, that's no reason we have to starve, is it? Nope.

Dinner is ready.

So am I.

What is this, my little friend?

Food and a cocktail.

Well, just for that, I'm going to dedicate the greatest booty.

Imagine you were in the Plaza de Torres in Pamplona.

It's the greatest plaza in the whole of Spain.

All around us in the stands are the greatest aficionados, with the lovely

wearing the mantillas.

And over there is the boom.

Proud and fierce, magnificent.

Aha, Toro.

Aha.

See how honest he is?

On the rails, we say.

Aha.

See, he knows I dominate him. I don't fear him.

I'm numero uno.

The greatest matador in all Spain.

Come, I'll show you how.

Come on, Judy.

Here, hold it here.

Here and here.

Good.

A little higher.

All right, now I'll be the bull.

Okay? Holy!

Very good.

Turn around.

A little bit higher.

Holy!

Thanks. Just a bit.

Oh, fine.

Hey, what's the matter?

Nothing. Why?

Well, you haven't eaten any breakfast.

Oh.

Well, I... I'm just thinking.

About the missing dog?

Partly.

Well, I have to go meet Mr.

Perez.

I told him I'd let him make the morning rounds with me.

I'll see you later, huh?

How about some breakfast, Judy?

Boy, you really are a sleepyhead.

Buenos dias, senor.

Buenos dias.

Hey, Topo. Oh, come here, love. Listen, you're not supposed to be running around

until we catch that dog.

He's an affectionate little thing, isn't he?

Most animals are if you give them half a chance.

You see, we operate on a rather new theory here. We call it affection

In other words, we treat our animals with affection and reward them for

good that they do.

Does it work?

Well, that's what I hope to show you.

There is one thing, though, I would like to mention.

Strange as it may seem, outside the cages, these animals are perfectly

But never put your hand inside the cage because, well, they consider it their

territory and they don't want it invaded.

Querencia?

What's that?

That's a term from bullfighting.

Querencia is a part of the ring that the bull chooses to defend.

I see.

Have you ever seen a bullfight, senor?

Yes, once.

And that one was enough?

Well, shall we say that was maybe one too many?

In my country, this is a very much admired art.

Yes, I understand.

Oh, come on. I'll show you around.

Jack, you know, come on, calm down.

Mr. Tracy, as I have observed, the animals are totally unpredictable.

I know more than we are, senor.

There's always a reason.

Hey, Bart, what was all that racking?

Oh, uh, Cinder started it, and then the others got excited. Uh, you know how it

goes.

Were you too often?

Well, Hedley called, said a native spotted what might be the dog on the

border. And while we're in the area, we're going to check the giraffe herd.

They're about to migrate.

We're going to die mark the lead bull?

We sure are.

And we've alerted the game rangers all down the line to report.

Should give us an accurate idea of the migration path.

There's something strange about that herd.

Yesterday, Senor Perez walked almost right up to them. Could have touched one

them. Do what?

And you know that friendly pride of lions over there?

One of them attacked us for no reason.

Lion attack you, huh?

You've got to be kidding. No, I'm not kidding. Besides, a leopard jumped me as

well. So be careful. Something's spooking those animals over there.

Yeah.

Well, senor, let me see if we can find those spooks.

is just a hyena.

Don't feel bad, Dad. We have other business in the area. Out.

There's a lead bull.

If what Marsh says is true, this ought to be a cinch for a change.

Yeah. I'll get the diary gun.

Perez have that we don't?

Almost touched them, did he?

They wouldn't even let us take two steps.

Well, they're spooked now. We might as well circle around the other side. Come

on.

I'll bet that's the old boy who almost attacked Marsh.

Why don't we take the dot right, Mr.

Yeah,

why don't we?

Sorry,

old man. Didn't mean to intrude. Just wanted to prove something.

It must be the one that jumped Marsh.

Yeah.

Something's wrong.

Wrong? Everything seems normal.

That's exactly what I mean.

You don't think Marsh could have been kidding us, do you? No, I don't think

Well, then there is something wrong with Marsh.

Judy, are you having a bad dream?

Now what would a chimpanzee have to dream about?

A bullfighter?

That's a nice herd of elephants.

I've been keeping track of them for years.

Let's go have a look.

Aren't they very dangerous?

No, no.

Well, let me put it this way. Up until two days ago, I could have answered that

question, but now I... You don't have to go.

Well, that's what I'm here for.

I'll come.

reason to.

I got slowly into those trees.

Okay, that's enough. Let's go home.

Look, I'm very sorry.

Oh, no, as a matter of fact, you did better. At least you didn't panic and

Then perhaps there is hope for me.

You know, nevertheless, those big beasts did make me sweat a big drop.

I'll see you later.

Senorita.

Senor Perez.

We've had enough trouble here on the reserve.

The animals behaving crazily and Dad being upset about that escaped killer

I'm afraid you don't understand.

One thing we don't need is a professional torture of animals.

Torture? Well, you're a bullfighter.

You don't deny it, do you?

Yes, I'm a bullfighter.

I'm El Gato.

Once the best killer of bulls.

But no longer.

But this is why I'm here.

To find the courage I've lost.

You've been using my father.

You've pretended that you want to learn how to become a game warden to help our

animals. But in reality, you're just trying to regain your courage so you can

back to your homeland and torture your animals.

Well, I don't think I should discuss the morality of my profession with you.

But if you think I've used your father, that I treated my host badly.

Then I will leave at once.

I'll drive you to Nagoro. From there, you can take the bus to the airport.

Senorita.

In my world, the bullfighter is very much a madman.

Right or wrong.

But when he loses his courage, as I did, he loses everything.

He loses his fame.

His dignity.

He even loses his wife, who loved him for his courage.

I'll be ready in a minute.

Judy, stop your sniveling.

little boy.

I'm going to try a little experiment.

And you know me. You know me, right.

That's a good boy.

All right.

What about Jack's jacket, hmm?

Yeah.

Let's see what you think of Mike's shirt.

Nothing, huh?

All righty.

Let's see what you think of our Spanish friend here.

This is Senor Perez.

So you're only interested in Senor Perez, eh?

Clarence?

I think you just cleared up a big mystery.

Ah, Judy.

Con su permiso.

I'm going to miss you, little one.

Well, you thought I wouldn't try to help you if I knew you were a bullfighter.

Is that right, senor?

Yes.

Well, frankly, I rather suspected it after our first field trip.

You did how?

Concovencia, or to sweat the big drop.

Those are expressions peculiar to bullfighting, aren't they?

I suppose so.

Well, Dan, if you suspected, then why did you try to help him?

Sure, I admit I can't stand the sport myself, but...

Well, that doesn't mean that I can go around telling the Latin -speaking world

that they shouldn't like it either.

No, I think there's too much of that sort of thing in the world.

Well,

I'm sorry I couldn't help you, Samuel.

On the contrary, you have.

I thought I was getting a little better towards the end, particularly with the

elephants. Much better.

You know, I think I know what your problem is.

You do?

Clarence finally showed me.

Please tell me.

Well, in the bull ring, you found that the animals were chasing you and not the

cape. Is that right?

Yes, that's true.

And you were getting tossed a lot, right?

Right.

This is why I lost my courage.

Senor, I think what you have is what is sometimes referred to as the smell of

fear.

The smell of fear?

Didn't Dupuis do a paper on that a couple of years ago, the smell of fear?

Yeah, it was along the line that a dog only bites the frightened mailman.

Yes, possibly the scent, but also the sense of fear.

It's an important phenomenon in much of the animal world. It seems to be a

signal for an immediate attack.

As I remember, Dupuis felt it probably wasn't the scent at all.

Right.

You see, when the human experiences fear, it undergoes a subtle change.

No matter how imperceptible his actions are, the animal senses his uneasiness.

I should have realized it from the beginning.

The animals are acting quite normally.

Their attacks are aimed only at you. They sensed your fear.

How about the giraffes?

Sort of a reverse reaction.

They knew you were afraid of them, so you wouldn't harm them.

So why should they be afraid of you?

You explain much, Dr. Tracy.

I've seen it happen to Adam and others.

Whenever you're away.

Well, perhaps half the cure is in knowing what's wrong.

Best of luck to you, Senor.

Thank you.

Bye -bye.

Bye -bye.

Not a bad guy.

I feel kind of sorry for him.

So do I. He has great pride.

Come on, Judy.

You can put your cape in the back.

Another week you'll be romping with your friends.

Oh, sure, yes.

All right.

I love that dog.

I love him more than any bull I ever fought.

Well, I guess El Gato will be numero uno again, huh?

Then you're going to return to the bull ring.

No, there's no need to prove anything.

What will you do if you give up bullfighting? Well, I'll tell you.

Senor Perez is going into business with us.

He's planning his own zoo in his own hometown.

Yes, Clarence, I thought that'd make you happy.

Matt?

What do I all mean?

Hello, Clarence. We heard.

Take good duty. Ole!

Numero uno!
