Okay Pop, hello buddy.

Hello lions. What are you doin'?

What's that rogue, Togar doin' here?

God Togar, why today of all days?

Okay, come on. Let's play chase.

The closer we get, more excited I get.

It should be great seeing him

after three years.

Yeah, I couldn't believe how fast

he split for Africa after he got his grants.

And the zoo let him take the little cubs he raised.

You'd think he'd take the kids he raised.

Well he was going to send for us,

but he said it was too dangerous.

He certainly didn't leave because he didn't love us.

And you know how depressed he used to get

with his cats kept in cages all the time.

I wonder where he is.

Why don't we try to find our own way there?

You're joking.

Where could he be?

Boy you guys wait 'til my family gets here tonight.

Are they gonna love you.

Oops, sorry Hank.

And I thought you came to help me.

I did.

I came to speak for you with that committee,

and take you to pick up your family.

Well come on ashore a while.

Are you crazy?

The committee is on their way here to renew your grant.

Monster.

Come on, you gotta help me clean the house.

Mmm, not today; today doesn't seem like

a good day to come in.

Hey where are you going?

Not my jacket!

Throw it here. Come on over here.

Stay there. How's she doing?

Look.

This is a madhouse.

No it isn't. It's just like life.

You get the funny with the tragic.

It's just with them you get

the gentle and the ferocious too.

Be careful of the bad, and enjoy the good.

You aren't careful enough.

Well for my studies I have to get

as close to them as possible.

You know, actually, the closer you get to them,

the more they'd like you and the safer you'd be.

But look! He's going to jump on us.

No no no no, they're just playing.

They like to play the old cat and mouse game.

Here I'll cover ya.

Oh big John.

No, if you just look at 'em, or you run at em.

No look.

What? Oh ah ah ah ah, you leave him alone.

Oh that's Johnny Lion, you never have to worry about John.

Are you scaring him?

You know you gotta watch out for Mark.

No, he's okay. This is Charlie.

And you gotta watch out for Barry, okay?

It's just playing I'm tellin' ya.

But you could get killed.

The cats got a little excited, that's all.

Are you okay? You're crazy.

Oh Mativo, there's Robbie.

You've never met Robbie.

He's always out guarding his borders

in the daytime,

and you're always too afraid to come

and visit me at night.

Now he's the nicest cat in the world.

And he's also the top cat here.

Yeah. He's the boss.

I work for him.

Hey Rob,

Well come here. I want you to meet Mativo.

See actually it's Robby I'm worried about.

Their whole life is based on dominance.

That's why we have such a great harmony here,

because Robbie is such a gentle and loving ruler.

He also knows he has to protect the others from outsiders.

Right now he's very worried about Togar.

He's also worried that if the others see that he's worried

or afraid, that then they'll start challenging him

like they've been each other all day.

No matter how afraid he is at this moment,

he still knows he has to see this through.

The whole meaning of his life is before him, Mativo.

That's why you have to help me.

I have to what? Why?

Because I have to help him, Mativo.

And he could get killed.

Don't worry, I'm gonna help ya.

I don't think you should count on me.

But Only yesterday they were so happy.

Now look at them.

Finally on the verge of finding paradise,

and the only thing lacking is my family

to share it with me.

And Togar comes in wrecking it.

Here comes trouble.

It's a grand committee, but Prentiss is with them.

Listen my friend, let me talk.

Good morning everybody.

I would like to open this meeting

by reminding you all that

Hank's original idea was a comparative study

of the great cats of the wild.

And while observing the African cats

in their natural habitat, he will raise several cats

of each species.

Be they African or otherwise.

And to become almost like a member of the pride.

Hey it has stripes! It must be another Tigon or a Liger.

The mother's a lioness, the father must be a tiger.

Say hello to Henry the Jaguar, would ya?

Not today.

What are you trying to prove?

That you can have lions socializing with people?

No, but we can't keep exterminating them.

We can't keep eliminating their land.

We can't keep exterminating everything

that we fear, or that inconveniences us.

Let the zoos keep them alive.

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

could look in the eyes of 200 elephants

and put out those lights.

They run frantically in panic

trying to protect their children--

Do you think your lions would run and panic?

You better start with me first.

No I'll start with the tigers first.

That'll teach you for bringing them to Africa.

I gotta go help your uncles; they're killing each other.

Stop it! Stop It! Hey! Hey!

Calm down!

Togar!

Togar! Togar!

You stay out of it. You let Robbie take care of him.

Yeah, you guys are smart; you stayed out of it.

Oh Craig, hi Tommy, Jimmy.

Oh aw. You hide in here?

I don't blame you, all those guys are fighting.

Over the side! This way! Git!

That's my jacket.

Help!

Hank!

Hank get out here!

Hank! Hank!

Hank get out here!

Get him off me!

Run!

Woah hey.

Come on, go in the house and get some bandages.

Oh what the hell's wrong with you?

All you got's a few scratches.

You're lucky Togar didn't getcha.

I think you should take our bus.

It goes right by there.

Oh no, well I think we should wait.

No; if you wait until tonight, and it doesn't come,

there is no other bus for two days.

And there is no place for you to stay here.

Well what'll we do?

Will he know where to take us?

Oh come on. I'll tell him for you.

Hey, she's dry. Alice has no milk.

Listen, I have to go change.

I'll go back to my boat.

Okay.

Maybe I'll come with you.

If he claws ya--

What do I do now?

just stand up to them, don't let them

get away with anything.

You gotta let 'em see how strong you are.

Come on lions. We have to clean the house for Madelaine.

Come on lions.

Come on lions.

Come on Diane. Come on Michael.

Come on Patrick.

Are you sure there aren't any more big ones in here?

Well hello Gary.

Why didn't you go with your--

Why didn't you go with your friends?

Come on, you should go with your friends.

Aw come on.

You really changed this place.

New curtains, new drapes, new everything.

Come on, go with your friends.

Come on. Oh yes.

You have to go with your friends.

Come on.

Come on.

Aw don't worry Davie. Robbie can handle Togar.

Your father's tougher than you think.

Come on.

Oh come on, you'll hurt my hand.

See I got a hand hurt.

Come on. Come on Davie.

I think I drove Togar as far away as 200 miles.

This is the first time he's come in.

I have a hunch that Robbie and Togar

could be brothers.

You know Bugsy and Robbie were both rogue lions.

I found them dying from battle wounds.

Now if Togar were sick or dying,

these guys'd probably accept him.

But the way he is now, --

Vicious alright.

Well he can't help that.

As a loner he's too slow to catch his normal dinners.

And the hungrier he gets, the more desperate he gets.

The more desperate he gets, the more ferocious he gets,

because the only way he can eat most of the time

is by taking his meals from whole prides of lions.

You gotta be pretty ferocious to do that.

Sooner or later, he's gonna get killed.

Come on Gary.

Billy.

Hey, don't try to frighten me.

Leave that alone!

That's my jacket!

Hey Hank, come and help me.

He's got my jacket!

Gimme that Jacket. That's my jacket!

Hank!

Hank! Help!

Help! Help!

Get back. Come on. You leave him alone.

Leave him alone. Hey! Leave him alone.

They almost killed me.

You know you're not supposed to run.

My head knew it, but my feet didn't.

Oh. Hi babe. Oh.

Put them out.

They're trying to stay away from Togar.

Come on.

Why do they have to be in here?

Why this open door policy you have here

anyway with them?

All the doors are closed except for here and the bathroom.

There's nothing they can tear up here or the bathroom.

Put them out.

Mativo this is their home!

What do you think you're running?

A country club for lions?

Come on, sit down here.

Sit down. You're okay. Oh.

Sit down. You're okay, sit down.

Hey no more fighting.

Come here.

Aww. Sit down. You're okay.

Poor David You are okay.

You are okay.

These stupid lions are frightening me.

And you want to bring Madelaine

and the children into this?

This'll be great for 'em.

Not boxed in like back in Chicago.

Hey, wait a minute.

I just thought he had a cataract starting.

That's Billy. He's great.

They're right. You be on something. I couldn't last a day.

Expect her to sleep with the lions are you?

What do you care if I sleep with my wife?

Mom, did you know that a man

can have as many wives as he wants to here?

And what is that supposed to mean?

I mean how could you be away from dad

for so long?

You know that your father and I were having problems,

and we thought it would be better to be apart for a while.

You know, absence makes the heart grow fonder?

The heart maybe, but what about

the sex glands?

Sex is all you think about lately young lady.

You'd better watch it, or you're gonna get

your little tail in trouble.

Some day I hope you'll understand the beauty

of restraint and self-denial.

Well I hope it wasn't restraint and self-denial

that drove dad away.

- Hey Mativo. - Yeah?

You know what my kids used to do

every time I started to sing?

They'd hold their hands over their ears and say, oh no.

Or they'd turn on the radio.

Hey, hey, don't let them in the boat.

You're crazy.

I think he said it's just over the hill.

I can't steer!

I think we are sinking.

Abandon ship!

Hey Mativo. Hey Mativo, climb out over that way.

Don't swim, they'll get you.

Mom, come here and look.

It's fantastic.

Dad?

Dad.

Hey dad.

Dad?

Hank?

Hello?

Hank?

Dad?

We're here.

Dad?

Oh dear.

Hey dad.

Hank?

This is really a nice place.

Come on up. This place is really wild.

I'd give anything for some sleep.

I don't understand.

Is that a tarantula?

Huh? You simple minded jerk!

Stop that!

Look.

Oh my god.

Where could he be?

Jerry, run and open all the windows.

Then we'll dust everything and surprise your father.

Melanie?

Hey a motorcycle.

I just saw a thing. I think it was a pelican.

It's a Kawasaki.

Holy mackerel! Look at that!

I don't believe what I'm seeing.

Those can't be Dad's lions.

Oh god. Look what the cat dragged in.

Melanie?

Mom.

Get in here. Get in here.

Jerry. John!

Where's mom and Mel?

They're downstairs. Come on.

What is going on down there?

Let's go down.

Woah!

Woah Uh!

Go back.

Boy have we got troubles.

Where'd they all come from?

Nice lion.

Nice lion.

Oh no!

Oh no, oh no, oh no.

Help? Uhh.

Woah!

Melanie? Are you alright?

Yeah but I'm scared, Mom.

Oh I know honey, so am I.

Oh honey stay here. I'll go get the boys.

Hey. Hello.

John?

I'm in here.

John are you alright?

Where's Jerry?

Help! Help!

Jerry. Jerry?

Oh god!

Are you alright?

You coulda suffocated!

You coulda died dummy!

Shut up. I almost died.

What kinda jerk

would hide himself in an icebox?

Okay?

Yeah.

Get me outta here!

Help! Mom! John! Jerry!

In here.

Jerry hurry.

Right here!

Come on. One, two, three.

Maybe there's some guns 'round here.

We gotta find a gun.

I think we ought to split while we can.

Yeah sure with 8,000 lions and tigers outside.

Well if we stay here, we'll end up being eaten alive.

We're not gonna get eaten.

When Dad gets here, he'll show us how to handle them.

Until then, we'll just board up the windows.

Wait a minute. Who voted you in?

I did. I suppose you wanna make a run for it?

Right on. I'll take the motorcycle and go get help.

I know bikes, and I know the road we came in on.

That's not gonna help; that's letting you escape,

and leaving us here.

- John! Shoot 'em! - No!

- John! Shoot 'em! - No!

Give me your handkerchief John.

I wanna go home.

Madelaine's gonna kill me.

It'll go much faster if you go up there

and borrow some bicycles.

Okay.

I'll take the tigers.

I'll go 'round back of the village.

Good move.

Don't tell me, he said, you said.

I'm not interested in your bickering.

Who asked you to go over there?

I can go on any property to kill animals

that I deem are a danger to human lives.

Don't tell me you care about his family.

I'm telling you there'll be no culling of cats, elephants,

or any animals ever again.

Well you should have been at his madhouse

and seen those cats this morning.

I don't care what you say.

You are not going to go out there and slaughter his animals.

We cull elephants if there are too many.

Prentiss, you're completely out of line.

You are not going to kill those cats.

You can tell me what you're gonna do.

And you can tell me what the rest of

this committee's gonna do, Rick.

But I'll be damned if you're gonna tell me

what I'm gonna do.

We can't store two tigers.

Well I tried to make them go home.

How come they are not doing

what you are telling them.

Well they're not trained pets.

They're just friends.

Stay off my back.

Come on. Where are you going?

Come on down.

You go. I'm not going.

You know, you're right.

I can't go to the airport with them.

They'll go right in with me.

Hey I got an idea for ya.

Hang down off that branch.

- Huh? - Let your feet

hang down here.

- What? - Kick your feet.

They'll jump right up and try to getcha.

Then they'll stay here.

I can sneak away.

No, no. I'm not doing that.

- Listen. - Uh huh?

Take your shirt off, okay?

And dangle it down.

Hold it by the sleeve.

There you go.

Hurry back!

Why did you bring us here.

We're just gonna die.

No we are not going to die.

Your father is going to be here soon.

And it'll be all over.

Well why isn't he here now?

He knew we were coming!

You can belly-ache all you want about him staying away.

But if he's not here it's because he's dead.

And he's not coming. I know it.

Boy I've been ready to do this

for a long time.

Don't you think we should wait?

We shouldn't load anything smaller

than a .30-06 for a lion.

Lenny?

Aw Leonard, Leonard, Leonard.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Come on. Put your bike in the trunk.

They must be in the house already.

They took the bus yesterday.

Nikki, get in the car.

Come on. Get in the back.

Come on Greg, get in with us.

Come on Greg.

That's a good boy.

That's a good boy.

Turn around.

He is trying to close me in the trunk!

Hey come on, get in.

Hey, well come on. Get in.

Crazy. With them in the back?

They'll bite my head off.

Either get in or walk, 'cause I'm goin'.

Make them walk.

This is madness.

If somebody sees them this far from my place

They'll shoot 'em.

These are your friends huh?

And do you know what your friends

are probably doing to your family right now?

They are making dinner of them.

They are eating them.

Tivo, shut up.

They are sitting around eating them,

cracking their bones.

Shut up.

They are licking their bones clean.

Shut up!

Who are you?

Come on.

Hey! Don't go so fast.

It's too bumpy.

I have to Mativo.

By the way, do they know

that they should not run?

You should have sent them a list

of rules and regulations before they came.

Aw. Poor Leonard.

Let's get out of here.

Only Melanie was right.

Let's go take the boat.

Jerry okay, you go first. Go ahead.

Woah. Melanie.

Oh there's a tiger!

Faster!

Go John!

John. John!

John, jump out!

Jerry! You're going the wrong way!

Go John! Go!

Melanie get in the boat.

Going right into shore.

Jerry watch out.

Go back this way.

Come on, sport.

Boy that was close.

Get away!

Get away from me!

Put her down!

Help me! Help me!

Let go of her!

Help! Help! Help!

Help me!

Aw less then ten miles to go and we're stuck.

What's wrong?

The jack won't work in the sand.

And the more I dig, the more the car slides.

I'll have to run.

But you know you're not supposed to run.

You hold the tigers back, would ya?

- So they don't tackle me. - What?

Just use this. Use this.

Use this. Go like that.

Hey Prentiss, did you see that?

Got 'em right through the neck.

- Sooner or later-- - If we're not--

the lions are gonna get us.

he'll be back.

- I'm gonna go for help. - Why stay here?

Now let's make sure that all the other doors

in the house are secure.

I hate this place here!

I don't think there's a good decision.

- John? - Hey!

I'm gonna get help!

And leave us here?

I'm gonna get help.

I thought it was suicide!

Good luck, son.

Oh no!

Ow. Get out of here.

Open the door. Come on.

Go on. Get out of here. Leave it!

Go on. Leave it.

Jerry open the door. Come on.

You think I'm crazy?

What kind of jerk

would go off the roof on a motorcycle?

Get off of her!

Ugh heavy.

No!

Melanie. John, Jerry!

Where are you?

John! Jerry! Hurry!

Melanie! Get up.

No no no!

What's wrong?

Hey what are you doin' on the floor?

John I can't get my leg out! Ow ow ow ow!

Come on, hurry. Get out. I'll hold 'em.

I'll hold 'em.

Melanie come here.

Oh. Oh my goodness.

Jerry help your sister.

He's just tryin' to kiss her.

Still trying to open the door.

You think we have enough ammunition?

I've got twenty in this belt,

and thirty in the other.

Remember where all the cheetahs, leopards, and tigers drop.

We skin them on the way back.

The lions are worthless. Leave them for the hyenas.

No! Get away. Go on! Go on! Go!

No!

Come on!

Hey mom, up on the roof!

Mom go over the track!

Come on mom.

See ma? It's another house. It's completely safe.

It's a good thing,

because I can't walk another step.

I'm so tired my legs

are gonna buckle under me.

I just have to sleep for a while.

Oh Donnie Lion!

Come on my friend. Get up.

Let's run again.

Togar! Hey! Ahh!

Togar not that way!

Oh you poor stupid jerks.

Togar not that way!

Let's try to get 'em outside.

I don't think they're tryin' to hurt us at all.

Come on. Come on lion.

Come on lion. Come on.

- Come on. Come on. - Yeah, faster.

Come on.

Melanie, John, get away from those lions.

Mom, if they wanted to get us,

they would have done it while we were asleep.

Come on.

Are you sure it's alright?

Make sure the mother isn't around.

They're cute.

Oh look at!

You're really friendly.

Oh she's beautiful, isn't she?

John.

Oh look at.

You're really friendly.

Oh she's beautiful isn't she?

Togar! Togar! Togar!

Madelaine!

John.

Hello lion.

Togar! Togar!

Togar! Togar! Madelaine!

Oh hello lions.

Yeah you guys stay away from Robbie.

Hey kids how are ya?

Oh oh. Woah!

I better go help your ma.

Hey Lynn, get off. Come on, get up.

Don't hit her Jerry, hug her.

She wants you to hold her.

Are you okay?

I'm just so happy you're here.

You're okay. Don't worry.

Don't worry?

Look at her.

Oh I sure love ya.

Oh I love you too.

Hey. Come on.

Go away. Get away.

Hi little gal.

Listen, don't say anything about Prentiss, okay?

But he was killing your lions.

I don't want you to say anything about that either.

Don't spoil the reunion. I'll tell them later.

Listen I want you to meet my family.

This is my wife Madelaine.

- Hello Madelaine. - Mativo.

This is my son, John.

Hello how are you?

Hello, nice to meet you.

This is my daughter, Melanie.

Melanie, Mativo.

- Melanie, how are you? - Hello.

My son Jerry.

Jerry huh.

Come on this way. I have a surprise for you.

Boy are we glad to see you.

What are y'all doin' wearin' my clothes?

Oh no. What happened?

Jerry, get back. Form a line.

They all want to meet you.

We've already met 'em.

Isn't this fantastic?

What do you think?

You guys gonna stay a while?

Sure dad.

I don't have to be back to Chicago 'til next week.
