"♪ (THEME MUSIC PLAYS) ♪" "Señor, uh, again, let me say, you're more than welcome to stay at the house." "Well, if I am 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?" "Well, there's no time like the present." "Señor Perez, meet two of the friendliest animals in all of Africa." "Señor 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, señor, this is my daughter, Paula." "Paula, this is Señor Perez." " Hello." " Hello, how are you?" " Fine, thank you." " (CLARENCE ROARING)" "Hey, hey, hey." "Clarence, come on now, cut that out." "Well, I was told at the warden school at Nagoro that... that a lion will not attack a man it's provoked." "Well yes, that's right." "Well, nobody provoked him." "Why's he growling?" "I don't know." "Funny, usually he's the friendliest animal on the compound." "We sort of look upon him as an overstuffed house cat." "Well, you better take Clarence back to the house." "Ok, 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, Señor Perez, if you, uh, 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 while." "Yes, of course." "Ok, Judy, let's go." " (HOOTING)" " Judy, don't you wanna come?" "Well, as I said, Señor, it looks as if you've made a conquest." " (CHUCKLING)Hasta la vista." " Hasta la vista." "(CHUCKLING) You little one." "Where did you find this, huh?" "(DISTANT CROWDS CHEERING) Olé!" "Olé!" "Olé!" "(JUDY HOOTING)" "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." "(PLANTING KISS)" "(SQUAWKING)" "(BARKING)" "This thing is mad." "No." "Angry, upset, and disturbed, but not mad." "When are those plates gonna be ready?" "Mike's bringing them." "(CONTINUES BARKING)" "Well, the saliva's ok, no formido inexorabilis." "Wanna look?" "So what... where did it come from?" "We 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." "Infection drained 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." "(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)" "Look at this, Marsh." " Ah." "A brain tumor, huh?" " Mm-hmm." "No wonder he's acting so strangely." "Yeah." "Well, let's get him ready for surgery." "Look." "(PEREz):" "He seems calm now." "That's intermittent pain." "Say, 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, señor." "So you feel like you'd like to become a game warden, hmm?" "Yes, very much." "This is why the authorities at Nagoro have sent me here." "Well, have you had any prior experience with animals?" " Experience?" " Mm-hmm." "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..." "It's a very difficult word for me to say." "You see, the truth of the matter is that now, lately, I have become..." "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..." "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?" "(SIGHS) Well you certainly present an interesting challenge." "(GROWLING)" "(BARKING)" "Marsh!" "Marsh!" " What's the matter?" " Dog got loose." "Went through there." "Uh-oh." "Jack, go tell Paula to get all the small animals inside." " And that includes Judy and Toto." " Right." "Mike, get the hypo-dart rifles." "Head north towards the river." "We'll head towards the south waterhole." " Right." " Keep in touch." "Come on." "Now, 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 the dog." "But 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 there?" "Oh, sure, they're very shy creatures." "Believe me, they'll bolt before you get within a hundred yards of them." "Well... perhaps the dog is around them?" "Oh, no, no." "No chance of that." "No, if he were around, they would have taken off long ago." "Come on, believe me." "It's all right." "I'm sorry, I certainly gave you a bum steer." "You know, it's funny, I thought I knew those animals." "You said they were gonna bolt." "They just stood there." "I know, I..." "Well you just did something to those giraffes that I've never seen before." "And frankly 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." "I just don't understand it." "(GROWLING SOFTLY)" "(SPEAKING SOFTLY) Magnificent looking wild animals." "You don't have to whisper." "They know we're here." " Come on, let's get a little closer." " Now, wait a minute." "Leave the truck, go there unarmed?" "No, 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, Señor Perez, to get over your fears." "Come on, we won't get close enough to worry them." "(LION GROWLING)" "Hey, don't you think we're close enough?" "Oh, no, we can get much closer." "Come on." "(ROARING)" "All right, ease back." "Ease back slowly." "You said much closer." "All right, I was wrong about that, but never run away from a lion." "Señor Tracy, perhaps I have the wrong teacher." "I'm beginning to think maybe you're right." "You know, after all my years in the bush," "I should be prepared for the unexpected." "I don't know, I guess there's always room for surprises." "(GROWLING)" "(BARKING)" "(SNORTING)" "(HOOTING)" "Judy, Toto, you're not supposed to leave this porch." "Now you get up here." "Come on." "Now, you two listen to me." "There is a killer dog loose, and if you don't stay up on that porch," "I'm gonna have to put you in a cage for your own protection." "You wouldn't like that, would you?" "Ok, behave yourself." "(MONKEYS CHITTERING)" "Those are colobus monkeys." "I know she's had her dinner, they would have scattered long before now." "Who's had her dinner?" "Oh, didn't you see her?" "Right over there." "I swore 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?" " (CHUCKLING)" " Come on." " Look." " What, the dog?" " No, the leopard." " (GROWLING)" " A leopard?" " It's all right." "(STAMMERING) You mean a python and a leopard in the same neighborhood?" " What, are they friends or something?" " (CHUCKLES)" "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." "Oh, he's going to attack." "Come on, run." "(SNARLING)" "All right, now." "You don't want to be disagreeable now, do you?" "Huh?" "That's a good boy." "That's a good boy." "Yeah." "I'm not going to cause you any trouble, if 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'd..." "Well, I think that's enough for one day, huh?" "Let's go on back to the compound." "At least there, the animals are predictable." "(HOOTING)" "(CLARENCE GROWLING)" "(ROARING)" "What is it, Clarence?" "What's the matter?" "Sarang, cut that out." "You better get up on the porch, Señor Perez." "What the devil?" "The whole animal kingdom is going crazy today." "We locked up all the small animals, Marsh." "Safer, until we get that dog back." "Oh, good." "Oh, help yourself." "Mm-hmm." "Maybe we'll have better luck tomorrow." "Wild dog hunting can sure work up an appetite." "Coincidentally, uh, Señor Perez is skipping dinner tonight." "Oh, that's, uh, no reason we have to starve, is it?" "Nope." "(BELL CLANGING)" " Dinner is ready." " Mmm." "So am I." "(ELEPHANTS TRUMPETING)" "Hah!" "(JUDY HOOTING)" "Well, what is this, my little friend?" "Food and a cocktail?" "Well, just for that, I'm going to dedicate the greatest bull for you." "Imagine we're in the Plaza de Toros in Pamplona." "It's the greatest plaza in the whole of Spain." "All around us in the stands are the greatest aficionados." "With lovely ladies wearing the mantillas." "And over there is the bull." "Proud, and fierce." "Magnificent." "Ha-hah, toro." "Ha-hah." "See how honest he is?" "On the rails, we say." "Ha-hah." "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." " (HOOTING)" "All right, now I'll be the bull." "Ok?" "Olé!" "Very good." "Turn around." "A little bit higher." "Ole!" "(CROWING)" " How about some more coffee?" " Yeah, thanks." "Uh, just a bit." "Ooh." " Hey, what's the matter?" " Nothing, why?" "Well, you haven't eaten any breakfast." "Mm." "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?" "(SIGHS) Well, how about some breakfast, Judy?" "Boy, you really are a sleepy-head." " Well, Buenos días, señor." " Buenos días." "Hey, Toto." "Oh, come here." "Listen, you're not supposed to be running around until we catch that dog." "He's an affectionate little thing, isn't he?" "Well, most animals are if you give them half a chance." "You see, we operate on a rather new theory here." "We call it "affection training."" "In other words, we treat our animals with affection and reward them for anything 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 friendly." "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?" " Uh, that's a term from bullfighting." " Oh?" "A querencia is the part of the ring that the bull chooses to defend." "I see." "Have you ever seen a bullfight, señor?" " Yes, once." " And that 1 was enough?" "(CHUCKLES) Well, shall we say that was maybe 1 too many?" "In my country this is a very much admired art." "Yes, I understand." "Well, come on." "I'll show you around." "(LION GROWLING)" "(GROWLING)" "Simba." "Come on now." "What's the matter with you?" "Jackie." "Jackie, now come on." "Calm down." "(SHRIEKING)" "What the devil's going on here?" "Ronnie, what--?" "Dr. Tracy, as I have observed, the animals are totally unpredictable." "Well, no more than we are, señor." "There's always a reason." "Hey, Marsh." "What was all that racket?" "Oh, uh, Simba started it, and then the others got excited." "Uh, you know how it goes." " Where you two off to?" " Well, Hedley called." "Said the natives spotted what might be the dog on the west border." "And while we're in the area, we're gonna check the giraffe herd." " They're about to migrate." " Did your dye mark the lead bull?" "They 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 Señor Perez walked almost right up to them." " Could've touched one of them." " You what?" "You know that friendly pride of lions over there?" "Well, one of them attacked us for no reason." "A lion attacked you, huh?" "You've gotta 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, señor, shall we see if we can find those spooks?" "No, Hedley, it was just a hyena." "But don't feel bad, Dad, we have other business in the area." "Out." "There's the lead bull." "If what Marsh says is true this ought to be a cinch for a change." "Yeah." "I'll get the dart gun." "Well, what does Perez have that we don't?" "Almost touched them, did he?" "They wouldn't even let us take 2 steps." "Well, they're spooked now." "We might as well circle around the other side, huh?" "Come on." "(GROWLING)" "I'll bet that's the old boy who almost attacked Marsh." "Why don't we take the dart rifles just in case?" "Yeah, why don't we?" "(LION ROARING)" "We're asking for it now." "Sorry, old man." "Didn't mean to intrude." "Just wanted to prove something." "Hey, that leopard." "It must be the one that jumped Marsh." "Yeah." "(GROWLS)" " 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 so." "Well, then there is something wrong." "With Marsh." "(WHIMPERING)" "Judy, you having a bad dream?" "(CHUCKLING)" "Now, what would a chimpanzee have to dream about?" "(CROWD CHEERING)" " (FANFARE PLAYING)" " Olé!" "Olé!" "(APPLAUSE, CHEERING)" "(GRUNTING)" "(APPLAUSE)" "(GRUNTING)" " (FANFARE PLAYING) - (CROWD CHEERING)" "(GRUNTING)" "(FANFARE PLAYING)" "(CROWD):" "Olé!" "(GRUNTING)" "(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)" "(GRUNTING)" " (FANFARE PLAYING) - (CROWD CHEERING)" "(CHEERING)" "(CHITTERING)" "(CROWD):" "Olé!" "Judy, what's got into you?" "What on earth?" "Judy, what are you doing, fighting a bull?" "Well, who on Earth taught you how to do that?" "Señor Perez?" "A bullfighter?" "(TRUMPETING)" "That's a nice herd of elephants." "I've been keeping track of them for years." " Let's go have a look." " Well, aren't they very dangerous?" "Oh, no." "Well, let me put it this way, up until 2 days ago," "I could've answered that question, but now, I..." " Well, you don't have to go." " Well, that's why I'm here." "I'll come." "(TRUMPETING)" " Will they charge?" " Nah." "They have no reason to." "(TRUMPETING ANGRILY)" "Back off." "Back off slowly into those trees." "(TRUMPETING CONTINUES)" "Ok, that's enough." "Let's go home." "Look, I'm..." "I'm very sorry." "Oh, no." "As a matter of fact, you did better." "At least you didn't panic and run." "Then perhaps there is hope for me." "You know, nevertheless those big beasts did make me sweat a big drop." "(BARKING)" "Well..." "I'll see you later." "(CLARENCE GROWLING)" "Ah, señorita." "Señor Perez." "Uh, we've had enough trouble here on the reserve." "The animals behaving crazily, and Dad being upset about that escaped killer dog." "Well, I'm afraid I don't understand." "One thing we don't need is a professional torturer of animals." " A torturer?" " 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 go 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've treated my host badly, then I will leave at once." " (HOOTING)" " I'll drive you to Nagoro." "From there you can take the bus to the airport." "(EXHALES)" "Ah." "Señorita..." "In my world, a bullfighter is a very much admired man." "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 HOOTING QUIETLY)" "Judy, stop your sniveling." "Come on." "Clarence, old boy, we're gonna try a little experiment." "Yeah." "Now, you know me." "Hmm?" "You know me, right?" "That's a good boy." "All right." "What about Jack's jacket, Hmm?" "See what you think of Mike's shirt." "Nothing, huh?" "All righty." "See what you think of our Spanish friend here." "This is Señor Perez." "(GROWLING)" "So you're only interested in Señor Perez, eh?" "Clarence, I think you just cleared up a big mystery." "(GROWLING)" "Ha, Judy." "(SPEAKING SPANISH)" "I'm gonna miss you, little one." "Well, you thought I wouldn't try to help you if I knew you were a bullfighter." "Is that right, señor?" "Yes." "Well, frankly, uh, I rather suspected it after our first field trip." "You did?" "How?" "Well, "querencia." Or to "sweat the big drop."" "Those are expressions peculiar to bullfighting, aren't they?" "Ah, I suppose so." "Well, Dad, if you suspected then why did you try to help him?" "Well, sure I admit I can't stand the sport myself, but uh, 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." "(JUDY HOOTS, BLOWS RASPBERRY)" "But I'm sorry I couldn't help you, señor." "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 bullring, 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." "Señor, I..." "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." "Yeah, it's possibly the scent." "But also the... 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 a human experiences fear, he 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?" "That's 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?" "(GROWLING)" "You explain much, Dr. Tracy." "I've seen it happen to other matadors." "We never knew why." "Well, perhaps half the cure is in knowing what's wrong, hm?" "Best of luck to you, señor." "Thank you." " Bye-bye." " So long." "(GROWLING)" "He's 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 case in the back." "(SNARLING)" "Hey!" " Hah!" " (BARKING)" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Ha-hah!" "Hah!" "(DOG SNARLING)" " You all right?" " Yes." "Hah!" "Hah!" "Stand clear, Perez!" "Wait." "Ha-hah!" "Hah!" "Ha, toro." "Ha, toro." "(WHIMPERING)" "I've lost it." "I've lost the smell of fear." "(HOOTING)" "Yes, sir, old boy." "Another week, you'll be romping with your friends." "(WHIMPERS)" "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 bullring." "No, there's no need to prove anything." "What will you do if you give up bullfighting?" "Well, I'll tell you." "Señor 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." " May I?" " By all means." "Hello, Clarence, sweetheart." "Yeah." "(LAUGHING) Very good, Judy." "Olé!" " (FANFARE PLAYING)" " Numero uno!" "(LAUGHING)" "(GROWLING)" "♪ (THEME MUSIC PLAYS) ♪" "(English" " SDH)"
