[Woman Laughing] Hi. How areyou ?

Hello, it's a beautiful day. Would you care to make a contribution to the Lighthouse?

Excuse me, sir. It's a beautiful day-- No, thank you.

Hello. Would you care to make a contribution to the Lighthouse Divine ?

Excuse me, sir. Would you care to make a contribution--

You gonna get me ? Okay, I'll be outside by the taxis.

Yeah. Right. Where you picked me up last time.

I'm Paul.

I'm Irena.

Yes, I know.

Welcome home.

Thank you.

How was your flight? Oh, I hate flying.

Whoa ! It scares me to death.

It scares me too.

Youlook reaflyrflce. Thank you.

Welcome to New Orleans.

Well, I wanted to get here as fast as I could.

[ P.A. System ] Mr. AI Curtis, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

We can get a taxi down there. Did you wait long ?

No, no, just a few minutes.

Ohh, you're here at last. I'm so glad.

Oh, let me look at you. Let me look at you.

Your hair is so pretty. Is that how they're doing the hair now ?

Female, this is my sister, Irena. I can see that.

I'd know those Gallier eyes anywhere.

Oh, Paul, she's a lovely, lovely little thing.

Your brother's driving me crazy waiting for you.

Do I get the credit for that ?

Female keeps me out of trouble.

That's a full-time job, you better believe it.

Female. Female. Like Tamale. Fem-

F-e-m-a-I-e. See, I was orphaned too.

You-You like this house ? So they didn't know what name to put on the birth certificate,

so they just put “child, female.”

But the woman that raised me, God bless her soul, she didn't read English too good...

so she pronounced it “Femolly.”

So, here I am, female. Female. Female.

Female.

Amen. Amen. Amen.

Mmm. Watch out. This is hot.

Oh ! I forgot to call the Robinsons.

What ? Well, why do you have to call now ? I'm sorry.

Well, they care about me.

Sit down, sit down, sit down. You can call after dinner.

This is Female's special gumbo.

Special gumbo tonight from yesterdays chicken.

That's right. That's right.

They've been really nice. You'd like them.

Janice works at the nursery school, at least part-time.

She has three children. And Arnold is a CPA. He's extremely mellow.

The only time he loses his temper is about April 15, and then he--

Didn't they ever tell you how our parents died?

Yes.

What did they tell you about me?

I don't know. Not much.

I mean, I knew I had a brother, but I was only four.

Mmm, I used to fantasize about you...

when I was 1?? the orphanage. Fantasize ?

Well, you know, about you coming to rescue me and things.

Daydreams.

Yes, I had the same dreams.

I've got a surprise for you.

Do you remember when we used to practice together ? Practice ? For what.

For the circus.

Uh-uh. I said it was a surprise.

Now, no peeking, huh?

No peeking.

Uh-huh.

[ Irena 1 Oh, God !

[ Laughing ] All the skeletons are out of the closet now, huh ?

When Grandfather started the circus, he only had one wagon.

It was a beautiful two-tiered one. There's a picture of it somewhere.

Oh, there you are. See ? Oh, yeah.

The apes were kept on top and the cat underneath.

The chimp used to tease the cat by throwing its garbage down through the bars.

God, they look so young.

Mother looks so happy.

I envy you. I wish I'd known her.

“Some little mice sat in the barn to spin.

“Pussy came by and popped her head in.

What took you so long? He's been waitin' 45 minutes.

Fuck off! I had to get a baby-sitter.

Room three. Hurry up.

Here, Ruthie, I'll take that.

Baby-sitter. You're always late.

Sorry I'm late.

Hi, I'm Ruthie. But you can call me anything you want if the price is right.

A joke. It doesnT cost anything extra to laugh.

Oh, I get it. The strong, silent type, huh?

Uh, you know the rules around here?

Guess not. Okay. A massage alone is $25,

and for $25 that's all you get.

Tipping is allowed and appreciated, you know,

if you wanna negotiate for, uh, something extra.

Now, we take Mastercharge, Visa, American Express, but not for tips.

Okay, that's not really true.

You can put tips on Visa if you want. Eww!

It's in here? Right there.

Oliver, you arenT gonna believe this.

What it is, see- it's, uh- it's a goddamn black leopard, is what it is.

Don't ask me where it came from 'cause we don't know.

I guess it mauled a hooker last night. She's all right.

We've got it trapped in the room upstairs. Here, look at this.

Let's hear it for voyeurism. [ll/Ian j S t/'fcfly security.

Must have scared the shit out of the john last night. Guy split stark naked.

In this neighborhood, who'd notice ? How'd he get in there ?

I don't know. Fire escape ? There's no fire escape...

and the windows are barred. [' Yates] Back door" .7

Locked. He must've come H1thei?ont.

I think I would have noticed. [' Yates] I/I/afz', look there.

[' Yates] More like 750. He is" big all right. Real big.

Let's knock him down quick and get him in the cage.

Yeah, okay. Can you get to that window from outside ?

Uh, Bill, Bill. lfwe can borrow a couple walkie-talkies, I can assist from the monitor.

That's a good idea. Can I borrow it ? Thanks

[ Man] I shot the coyote in Baton Rouge, remember ?

Two thousand milligrams ? Got one ready in case I miss ? Yep. Uh-huh.

Full CO-2 cartridge? Yeah.

You got room for this? I'll make room.

I'll hold the ladder. Hold the ladder.

- Be careless. - You too.

[ Woman Over Walkie-talkie] Oliver, he knows y0u're there.

I hear him. He doesn't sound overjoyed.

You're scaring him. What are you doing?

Cleaning the win--

[' Woman j Jesus.

If only I had let you set that clock, Benny, we might have a clue.

You didn't set the alarm, did you ? Good morning.

Good morning. Where's Paul ?

Oh, they needed him at the mission, bright and early.

Oh, he was going to show me the sights.

Get yourself a guidebook. They sell them all over town.

Go to the French Quarter. You'll have a good time, and don't worry about him.

Now, sit down.

Come on! jimmy, come on. Leave your brother alone.

[ Searle] He's not so dangerous in a cage.

[ Yates] We'll have to free up some of these exhibits...

so we can give this leopard extra space.

You 'll ha ve t0 d/ka/"m hzm. What does that involve ?

Not much. Cut its claws, root canals,

uh, file and crown its fangs.

There's a dentist in town that does the work.

Uh, Radenauer. Tom Radenauer?

Yeah, he does people too.

I know. He's my dentist. Shit, Oliver, we don't have the funds for this.

You know how it's been lately. Aren't there any other alternatives ?

[ Yates] Because of its history, it's no good for breeding.

If we try trading it to anotherzoo, I'm afraid...

with ifs erratic behavior, they wouldrft take it.

[ Searle] You could euthanize it. [Man] Kill it ?

Not an acceptable solution. How much would that cost ?

I said it's not acceptable. Can we discuss it ?

I'll put up with being underbudgeted and understaffed...

and the fact that these 1901 exhibits are falling apart,

but I will not put up with that crap!

Fine. Calm down. I only asked.

[' Woman j I ooks like we ha ve a gourmet leopard on our hands.

He threw up in the cage. /oe found pizza in the vomitus. Yeah, I sure did.

Eww, pepperoni. Leopards eat pizza ?

They're scavengers. He probably raided a garbage can...

before he went to the massage parlor.

Doesn't look like he went there out of hunger. Maybe he was horny.

Always a possibility. Anything else?

Nothing. No worms, no distemper, no encephalitis.

Whoever owns him takes good care of him. Sure does.

Oh, I don't believe in medicine.

went sightseeing, forgot to eat,

and then you started chasing me.

I just got overexcited. Oh.

I do sometimes have that effect on women.

Oh, really?

No. That was a joke.

What about you? You wanna have some dinner with me?

Yeah, sure, great. If you feel up to it.

I feel hungry.

Well, I know a reasonably good steak place.

Oh, I don't eat meat.

I thought you were supposed to be on a diet. They're not that fattening.

Oh, sure.

You don't look like a curator.

I look exactly like a curator.

[Laughing] No you don't.

Well, you haven't met many curators.

I guess not. What does a curator do?

Different things. Buys animals, sells animals,

veterinary work, research work, arranges the exhibits.

Maybe gets an expedition if he lucks out on a donation or a grant.

Expedition? Like into thejungle?

Mostly it's the bureaucratic jungle.

We purchase most of our exhibits from animal dealers.

[ Indistinct Chattering]

How long have you worked at the zoo ? Ten yea rs.

No, 11 years now. But I've been into zoology ever since I was a kid.

I prefer animals to people.

What about you .7 Oh, I'm looking for a job.

My brother Paul is supposed to help me.

If he ever gets back. He's been gone for two days now.

How do you eat these?

Well, you take this little wedge of lemon like this...

and squirt it on your oyster.

Then you hit it with some of this horseradish red sauce.

Just a touch, pick it up...

and let that sucker slide down your throat.

What kind ofjob are you looking for?

Well, commercial art, mainly.

I've, uh, taken art lessons.

And then you chase it down real quick with a swig of beer.

Or... Coca-Cola. [ Laughs ]

Look, uh... how would you like to work at the zoo?

The zoo.

That would be fascinating, but... no, I'm not really quafified.

You're qualified to work in the gift shop.

You could .7 Sure.

At least we know now where the leopard came from.

Follow me.

[' A lfce j What is" that smell .7 [' Yates] I don't know.

[' In vestxga tor] Yeah, the dog picked up the scent real strong.

You shouldve seen him. He went crazy.

Take a look. There's pieces of three or four bodies in there.

Probably more buried around. Oh, god.

I expect Gallier killed them first, possibly as part of some ritual.

Then fed 'em to the leopard. We've found some others, too, over the years.

Mostly prostitutes, female runaways, half-eaten, genitals torn out.

But why? Listen, who knows.

Gallier's been in and out of psycho wards since he was 12.

He's a religious fanatic.

Where could he have possibly found a cat like this?

And how could he have handled it by himself?

He was raised around them, at least until he was ten.

His folks were carnival people,

lion trainers, until they blew their brains out one night.

What about Irena? Is she involved ?

Irena had n't even met her brother until a week ago.

We have no reason to suspect her.

In fact, it looked as if he'd planned to kill her too.

And if I was her, I'd find me another place to live.

I'll take care of that.

Don't touch me! Watch it, lady.

Okay, take her in.

It's an old MG. Bought it two years ago. I've been fixin' it ever since.

There's only one way to keep 'em away. You know what that is ?

No. You have to make love.

They hate the sound. [ Laughs ]

All right.

I can't.

[Sighs] Look, don't be upset, baby.

It happens.

I like you, but-

Well, that's no problem, hon. I like you too.

You don't understand.

Oh, sure, I do.

You'rejust a little nervous, that's all.

I know how to take care of men like you.

You just need some time.

Every time I pray it won't happen again.

Yeah, you've got very... very beautiful hair.

[ Laughs] Thank you.

Oh, relax.

It's no big deal. Mama make it better.

Oh, that's better.

Detective ?

Looks like we got us another murder. The leopard ?

Yeah. The girl came back late last night with a man. Early thirties, brown hair.

Our people put the actual time of the death at around 3:00.

Who was she ? Who knows ? A tourist maybe.

Now get this. He picked her up at a cemetery.

Can we look? Hope you haven't had breakfast.

Come on.

[ Yates] Where you goin' ? Hey, where you goin' ?

I'm leaving. I have to. What .7

Wait ! Where you goin' ? Somewhere !

I can't stay here anymore ! What ? What ? Why ?

Why ? Why ? just say why Why ?

Can't you see? What?

Carft you see I'm going crazy, just like him ? Who, Paul ?

[Whimpers] Paul?

He has nothing to do with you.

I don't even think he's your brother.

Listen, Irena, I'm 34 years old.

I spent most of my life looking for somebody...

I even wanted to be in love with.

Now that I've found you, I'm not gonna let you go.

I love you. Oh, yeah ?

Would you love me just as much...

if we, if we could never sleep together?

Don't be stupid. Yes?

I love you and I want to take care of you...

and that's all that's important.

Oh, I'm afraid.

I'm afraid. Of what?

I'm afraid for you.

Irena, you don't understand. Oh, I'm afraid someone will hurt you.

I'll always love you.

I loved you before you were born.

I don't know.

Come on in.

The leopard's probably out of the parish by now,

unless he's dead. [Yates] I'll believe it when I see it.

I don't think you're gonna see it.

What do you mean ? Well, I've been talkin' to the sherifPs department.

They're gonna call it off.

We can't afford the manpower anymore or the time.

It's been over a week. What are you, outta your mind ?

They set their traps. They did everything they could. What do you want ?

Is that what you're gonna say the next time it kills ? Don't give me that shit.

You're the one that wouldrft shoot the bastard when we had him in a cage.

Look, man, I'm sorry. Okay?

I don't know why I did that. Yeah, well, fuck you.

[Dog barking] He's right.

No, he's not. Yeah, well, how the hell would you know, huh ?

What? Uh-

What? Nothin'.

How's Irena feeling ? Fine.

You wanna talk about it ? Talk about what ?

Jesus, what do you think ? lrena's gonna be all right.

I don't even ca- lrena's not the one I'm worried about.

Her type will always be all right. What the hell's that mean ?

Look, I'm not blind, Oliver.

I've seen you obsessed before, not like this.

I even thought I'd seen you in love before. I guess that was just my vanity.

Let's talk about something else. Okay. All right.

I know what I'm doin'.

[ Thunder Rumbling]

[ indistinct Banging]

[ Banging Continues]

Save me. Only you can stop this killing.

You've got to make love with me...

as brother and sister.

I've searched for you for so long,

from one foster home to another.

We can live together as mates.

Just as our parents did.

You do know that they were brother and sister, don't you .7

No. Oh, yes.

[ Thunderclap]

Make love with me and save both of us.

No.

I'm not like you.

Well, that's the lie that will kill your lover.

At least let me spare you that horror.

Come on. Come on.

Come and lie next to me. No I

Oliver doesn't love you. He loves the panther.

He wants you because he fears you.

Let Alice have him.

She thinks his fear is courage...

and he thinks his fear is love.

Oh, they were made for each other.

So were we.

- Take my hand. - No.

Then you leave me with no choice.

[Panting, Purring]

Oh, Paul.

I'll come with you, okay?

We'll go together, you and I, okay ?

And it'll be all right.

[ Drops Glass]

What am I? Shh.

Don't ask what you already know.

Know? Female, I don't know. I--

I don't know where to go.

Live as he did: hidden, injails.

Never love.

Pretend the world is what men think it is.

Wait!

Don't leave me like this.

I don't know where to go.

It doesn't matter where you go, does it ?

[Paul] Long ago our ancestors sacrificed their children to the leopards.

The souls of the children grew inside the leopards...

until the leopards became human.

We were gods then.

We are an xhcestuous race.

We can only make love with our own,

otherwise we transform.

And before we can become human again,

we must kill.

Whose idea was it to put the crows and porcupines together ?

I figured since they didn't have anything in common, they could share the same space.

Our new assistant has a new problem. I'm sorry.

The crows are plucking the quills outta the porcupines and I don't know what to do.

Separate them.

Oh. Brilliant.
