(GRACIE SNICKERS)

So this is all just a game to ya?

Well, yeah.

You did tell the boys to pretend to be a scary predator

and for me to act like I was the prey.

Then I got the idea to make things more interesting

with a new spin on Maneuver 12B 6-2...

Just what we need, more Gracie ideas.

These ain't games!

These here are gall darn survival drills.

Hey, why aren't you in a cage?

(EXHALES)

Excellent question, mademoiselle.

But to understand, you must first witness...

the Late Night Movie!

(SWITCHES TV ON)

Like the actors in these films I, Xavier,

in my own modest way, perform.

Sometimes it is a nagging cough.

(COUGHS)

Or pink eye.

(SCREAMS)

Or a broken tail.

The humans, they bring me here,

feed me and leave me alone for the night.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

Aah.

And that is when the show begins!

Thrillers, dramas, comedies, heist films.

From these films,

I have studied the techniques of picking locks.

-(LOCK CLICKS) -Et voilá!

Cages can no longer contain Xavier!

Is that so, Xavier?

(BOTH GASP)

You!

Yeah. And thanks to you, l'm stuck in a cage... again.

Are you kiddin'?

You're the reason l'm in this cage.

You're the one that got us tangled up.

Attacked? lf l had attacked...

No, forget it.

So, Xavier, l doubt you can open my cage.

(SCOFFS) Prepare to eat yourwords, fierce feline!

What are you doing?

He's a mountain lion!

Ah, oui. Un carnivore.

(SNAPS FINGERS) You almost fooled Xavier, monsieur.

-Hmm? -(GROWLS)

(GROWLS) He would've eaten me

Uh, l have to get outta here.

I have to warn the pack.

-XAVIER: Hmm. -(STRAINING)

Xavier, the dashing lock picker,

and you, um...

Huh? Oh. Gracie.

Gracie, the slow-witted bodyguard.

Together, they struggle to beat impossible odds.

Hmm, l like it!

Uh...

You mean you're gonna help me?

Awolf?

Why not?

Ahem. She can't help you beat impossible odds.

But l can.

You say this why, monsieur?

L'm from the wild.

I have the skills to survive and to escape.

Plus, the zoo key is right over there

and l know how to use it.

Excellent! (CHUCKLES)

Why would Xavier want to escape the zoo?

You don't want to escape?

I have my Late Night Movies!

MOUNTAIN LION: What about you, wolf?

I just wanna get back to my pack.

Warn 'em about the one-armed purple pod monster.

(GASPING DRAMATICALLY)

Did this purple pod monster with one arm

glow with a demonic light?

(GASPS) You saw it too?

Of course. ln my favorite ofall Late Night Movies.

Horror! (LAUGHS MANIACALLY)

Skinny wolf, l suspect you saw only the first stage.

What's going on out there?

Monsters have overrun this zoo.

Could this have all started from the purple pod?

XAVIER: lt has happened before.

It has?

In countless films.

Have you seen, Invasion ofthe Body...

MOUNTAIN LION: Ah-Ah-Ahem! Mm. Mm.

Oh, come on.

No one else is in a cage.

And, naturally, l will abide by the watering hole rule.

What's the watering hole rule?

Wow.

Zoo animals really don't have a clue.

In the wild,

when there's a common threat, like dying ofthirst,

animals leave each other alone at watering holes.

This is like that.

So, lemme out.

(FELIX SPUTTERS)

What do l look like to you?

A bird.

What else?

A... big bird.

What else?

Go on.

You can say it.

You know you want to.

-(GROWLS) -Exactly!

Carnivores stay in their cages.

Except for the skinny wolf.

And only because the stupid lemur already let her out.

All right! Cut the chatter, animals.

Listen up!

As the most evolved creature here,

l'm taking charge.

I don't think so.

(CHUCKLES) Capybaras do not trust monkeys.

Or crushing defeat.

Sacrifices?

I was one ofthem.

You were drownin'.

-You didn't leave. -l thought l was too late.

You saved me.

Then you changed back affer swallowin'...

(GASPS) That's it!

It was the soap and water!

Soap and water cured me?

(LAUGHS)

Oh, you're serious.

It must have.

(GASPS) Wait a minute. l've got an idea.

Okay.

I know how we can save the pack and the whole zoo!

It'd be tricky, but we'll need help

from Xavier and the others.

What?

We can't trust them. And we don't need them.

We got the key.

But what ifthe only way is to trust others?

Workin' together.

Howlin' together.

Howling together?

(CHUCKLES) Listen to me, kid.

When it comes down to it,

everyone's on their own.

But... even you and me?

Even you and me.

You know what l think?

I think you're afraid.

I think you're a cowardly mountain lion.

Cowardly?

L'm just not stupid enough to think l can save everybody.

Stupid?

Was l stupid when you were drownin' and l saved you?

Yes. Yes, you were.

(GRACIE SCOFFS)

Well, if l'm so stupid,

why don't you just save yourself?

We're done.

Fine. Go on. Run away!

Who needs a cowardly lion anyway!

Uh, Xavier. Where are the others?

My eyes are so dry.

Who's the kid?

-L'm a snack. -(GASPS)

Poot. l told you to wait outside.

Where is the mountain lion?

The coward left.

Felix?

The traitor abandoned his post.

We're better offwithout 'em.

It doesn't make any difference.

Apparently, act three is coming and we're in a...

Yeah. That!

Maybe not.

I have a plan.

(SHRIEKING)

Huh?

You saved me?

I saved this.

(GASPS) Wait, wait!

Take me with you.

I knew you were a smart mountain lion.

From the moment l saw you.

Ifwe'd stuck with those otherfools,

we wouldn't be here right now.

You're better than them.

So let'sjust use the key and get outta here.

After all, we're both survivors.

We're the same. (CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS)

You're right.

I am the same as you.

Now you're talking!

Disappointing.

What?

(GASPS, CHUCKLES)

-(DAN LEAVES) -Oh.

Where are you going?

I really am the only smart one around here.

Fine. l don't need any ofthem. (CHUCKLING)

GRACIE: I sawit with myown eyes.

I don't buy it.

That is because you have not been paying attention

to the lessons ofthe Late Night Movie.

This is obviously the part when the heroes attempt

a final desperado plan.

Exactement!

Yes, yes. Exactly!

But first, the young wolf must make an inspiring speech

about the power ofworking together.

Uh... Thank you, Xavier.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Look, we got...

Yeah, l know.

And she's gonna point out

that we made it this far by sticking together.

Well, yeah. So...

True, but why would we risk our hides

for the others out there?

See, what l was gonna say...

Allow me. l believe Gracie will respond,

"Because they aren't really different.

"Beneath the fur, the feathers and the hides,

"we're all the same."

That's right. We're like...

Like one big (GAGS) happy pack.

Exactly. And...

Then she will go for our hearts and say,

(lNHALES) "Without our help, they have no hope."

Oh! Bravo!

Avery inspiring speech, Gracie.

Hmm.

Why are we letting her talk us into this ridiculous plan?

Because it is the right thing to do.

So... are we doin' this?

I am honored to be part ofyour pack, Gracie.

Mademoiselle, our destiny is in your paws!

(MIMICS FANFARE)

But soap and water? Really?

And it sounds super dangerous.

L'm just, l... l don't think l can do it.

Ash, do you not yet realize?

You are the sarcastic skeptic ofthe team

who thinks he does not care.

But in the end,

you will surprise yourself and rise to the occasion.

A hero.

A hero? Me?

Okay! You guys are so pushy.

Stop it!
