"I've got you now." "That's it, my little misunderstood friend." "Nibble the powdery cinnamon bliss." "No!" "Your path ends in death!" "Nooooooo!" "You have been saved." "No charge." "Aaargh!" "This is certainly an ironic situation, with an apex predator there and me over here, holding this little guy at the bottom of the food chain and all." "Hey, Mom!" "Look what I found." "Ace Irwin Ventura, get out of that habitat and away from that man-eating alligator this instant!" "OK." "Stay!" "Aaaaargh!" " How many times have I told y ou?" " A million." " Visiting me..." "...is a privilege." " And this is the last time I get to come here if I'm..." "...going to behave this way." " I'm serious, Ace." " You're always serious, Mom." " And do you knowwhy?" " Because you're not gonna lose me like you lost Dad." "I'm sorry, Mom." "I don't knowwhy I had to save him, I just did." "It's a mouse, Ace." "That's why we have traps here." "You are not" " I repeat, not - responsible for every stray animal in every corner of this planet." " I'm not?" " No!" "Now give me the mouse." "And the hedgehog." "And the guinea pig." "And the ferret." "And the toad." "Oh!" "There we go." "What?" " Baby gator." " What baby gator?" "Fine." "Here." "Nowy ou're late for school." "Let's go." " Hey, what's that?" " Ace!" " What's going on over here?" " Honey." "Honey, come back here." " Ace." "OK, look..." " Pong Ping?" "The Chinese government loaned us Pong Ping and Ting Tang, the world's most famous pandas." "There's gonna be an unveiling nextweek." "Now..." "I know." "I promise." "No try ing to find missing pets or helping animals or any thing." " Even if they're about to get run over." " OK, that's notwhat I mean." "And I will try to be normal." "Thank you, A.J. Now will you please go to school?" "OK." "Normal." "Normal." "Must be normal." "Tara, is it true what happened to y our pet?" "Yeah." "I woke up this morning and my pet rabbit Mimzy was totally gone." "Rabbit." "Mimzy." "Lost!" " Of course we're depressed." " Our skunk's been missing twwo weeks." "We're emotional wrecks about it." "I will be normal." " My friend can't find her chinchilla." "This is really weird." "It's an animal-nabbing epidemic!" "Laura, what about you?" " You think that's bad?" "The other day, Greeny, my incredibly rare emerald-green koi fish, vanished out of the aquarium." "Aargh!" "Your attention, please." "I have some sad news." "Mr. Chompers, our beloved swim-team mascot, has gone missing." "Any student with information is requested to report to the pool immediately." "Well, he's gone." "Do you know where our mascot is or not?" " Well, I wouldn't say I know where he is." " But you know who took him?" " Not exactly." " But you have some kind of lead?" " Define "lead."" " Forget this loser." "No." "Wait!" "I can find him." " What makes you think that?" " I just... know I can." "Ooh, what are you?" "Some kind of pet... finder guy?" "Just give me four days." "What have you got to lose?" "You got 72 hours." "OK. 72 hours." "That's like... two weeks." "That's great!" "I know what Mom said, but this is important." "She won't find out." "Cowboy up, dog, because we're not just gonna go find Mr. Chompers." "I hear a whole lot of lost pets calling my name." "That'll do it." " This is the busiest intersection in town, Ox." "Thousands of people will see this." "Recognize your Mimzy?" " No." " Number three, hop to the right." "Uh-oh." "Number one just went number two." "Number four, stop doing that to number three!" "Would you guys stop multiplying?" "Well, how about now?" "Lost hamster." "Milk for Milton." "Help find Milton." "Runaway rodent." "Do a brother a solid." "Milk for Milton." "Please, help find Milton." " I found Milton!" " No." "Uh-uh." "I didn't find Milton." "Offensive action!" "Three, two, one." "Now, that's offensive." " Stop toying with our emotions." " That's not Breezy, moron!" "Skunk!" "Waaaaah!" "It's called "papering the town," Oxnard." "Avery effective method for disseminating information." "That's not true." "I treat every one of my missing pets exactly the same, no matter who they belong to." "Well, here we are, Ox." "Casa de Laura Wilson's house." " The scene of the crime." "Sorry, old friend." "Now's not the time to tell Laura how I feel." " I am not scared to talk to her." "Oh, you think so, huh?" "Yeah, well, watch and learn, Puppy Chow." "We'll find her pet, and then I'll find time to express how I really feel." " Hi, Ace." "Oh, my God, you're pretty!" " What?" "Um..." "Your koi fish." "She's itty-bitty." "Yeah, she sure is." "Much like a grunion." "Stand aside, ma'am." "Clues don't find themselves, you know." "Oxnard, while I'm young?" "Crime scene is secure." "No sign of forced entries." "Initial suspects include the scuba man and the treasure chest." "Remember when I brought her into school as part of my report on unusual animals?" "The next morning when I woke up, Greeny was gone." "Really?" "Case number 349A49320451." "Neptune-Alpha-Charlie-Horse." "Missing green koi fish." "Answers to Greeny." "Question." "Have you tried calling her?" " Calling her?" "She's a fish." " Uh-uh-uh." " May I?" " Sure." "Greeny!" "Greeny!" "Greeny!" "Greeny!" "Yoo-hoo!" " Well, she's gone." " Yeah." "Owner is one Laura Wilson." "Smart, funny, greatlistener." "Excellent personal hy giene, a smile that'll make y ou feel like pudding inside and skin like peaches and cream." "Except for may be this one spot on her perfectly formed chin." " Possibly a pimple?" " A pimple?" "Where?" "!" " Oh, I'm such an idiot." "No one asked you." "Um..." "Oxnard and I must be going now." "Anyway, your collection of aquatic friends will have their emerald companion back in three days." " Really?" " I promise." "You broke your promise." "What did I tell you?" "That I'm not responsible for the well-being of every stray animal in every corner of the planet." " But, Mom, I had to." " Do you think I like scooping poop all day?" "I don't." "I got this job so you could see animals as much as you want, when you want, safely and with complete supervision." "Yeah, but it's not the same, OK?" "I want to find lost animals." "I love it." "OK, I tried every other extracurricular activity you wanted me to and I mastered them all." "What?" "Aaaaaaaaaah!" "Next." "Bananas." "P-r-e-t-t-y." "Pretty." "That is correct." "Yourword is "anti disestablishmentarianism."" "P-r-e-t-t-y." " Pretty." " This was a dumb idea!" "Aaaaaargh!" "Argh!" "OK, may be I didn't master all of them, but may be athletics aren't my calling." "W-wait, was Dad an athlete?" "A good speller?" "An entertainer?" "This is not about your dad." "We'll talk about him another time." " Mom, you always say that." " I'm not ready for that talk yet." " We can have it when you're older." "I am older, Mom." "I'm 12 years old and I'm starting to have all these weird feelings and I don't have a dad for..." ""that talk."" "Honey, every body your age has those feelings." "No, Mom." "Not these feelings." "That's it!" "You are not eating out of a dog bowl, you are not sticking your head out of a car window and you'll use the toilet for something other than drinking." "You'll be like other kids!" " But, Mom, this is who I am." " No, it's not." "It's who you're acting like." "Huh?" "!" " Morning." " Good morning, Mom." " Hey, what's with that hat on?" " What hat?" " Ace." " It's what all the kids are doing." "You said you wanted me to be like them, so here you go." "Not at the table." "Mom." "Mom, the cereal!" " Oh, my God." " What?" " It's happening." " What is it?" "Puty our hands up!" "Stay still!" "Don't move!" " Melissa Ventura?" " Yeah." "Oh, wow." "One more punch and you get a free y ogurt." "What? "The Cinnamon Hippo"?" "Is that like Chuck E Cheese?" "Never mind that." "Russell Hollander, NBFW." " National Bureau of Fish and Wildlife." " Smart kid." "I'm in charge here." "Do you have any idea how often they let a member of Fish and Wildlife lead a SWAT team?" "Yeah." "Never." "You guys don't even get badges." "You wear patches." "Give me that." "I'll have you arrested for assaulting a federal officer." "OK, fine." "Jeez." "But, technically, police dogs outrank you." "Ranger Hollander?" "They're towing your car, sir." " Again?" "Wait." "Can't you just tell us what you're looking for?" "Your case is the biggest in history." "They're calling guys back from Alaska for this." "Playing dumb isn't gonna work." "You left alot of evidence at the scene, Mrs. Ventura." "We found your shoe prints all over the place." " In English, Ranger Smith." " Ting Tang has been stolen." "My mom works for the zoo." "Of course her prints are there." "And your bank accounts show y ou live pay check-to-pay check." "I suspect a panda cub brings big bucks on the black market." "We've found something, sir!" "What is this?" " Your ransom note?" " Somebody sent that." "I don't even knowwhat it means." " And this." " A tranquilizer gun." " Sir, your finger... prints." " Recently fired." "They give us all tranquilizer guns." "I used it to sedate a chimpanzee." "Thatwas actually very funny." "He grabbed this tourist's leg and started..." "That's enough, Ace." "Melissa Ventura, you're under arrest." " What?" " Whoa, whoa!" "Down, boy!" "Down, boy!" "Down, boy!" "Down!" "Down!" "It's all been a mistake." "This has all been a mistake." "There y ou go." "There we go." "We'll sort it all out." "That's so good." "It's like chocolate." "Mm." "They're so addictive." "Come on." " Not until I make a call for someone to stay with my son." " Give her the cellphone." " Mom, I'll find Ting Tang." "No." "You promised." "I don't want you to do any thing, Ace." "One call." " OK, while you walk." "Come on." " I'm gonna call his grandfather." "But, Mom, Grandpa's gonna be on a cruise for another four weeks." " I'm calling your other grandpa." " What other grandpa?" "Grandpa..." " Ventura." " Huh?" "Rex?" "It's Melissa." "Come on, Spark." "Come on, Spark." "Sorry about that." "Hello, Ace." "Grandpa?" "First thing, your mom is fine." "She's gonna have a bail hearing on Friday." "You can see her then." "Darn hair balls." "What can you do?" "My cat's on his eighth life." "There are some spots he's simply too old to lick himself." " Too much information." " Well, Ace, I haven't seen you since you were a baby." "What are you now?" "84?" " Grandpa, I'm 12." " Right." "Dog years." "84 y ears old." "I'll bet you're helping animals by now, aren't you?" "Come on, show me your office." "Come on, Sparky." "Come on, Sparky." "Here we go." "Attaboy." "So, these are the animals you're trying to find, huh?" "Well, I was, but then Mom said it was too dangerous." "Re-he-eally?" "Hi, Ace." " You obsess much?" " What?" "About Laura?" "No, not really." "Sometimes." "May be." "Yeah, I do." " Hey, Grandpa, can I ask you a question?" " Sure thing." "What was my dad like?" "Well, what did your mom tell you about him?" "Nothing." "She says that he disappeared on a business trip when I was a baby and that I'm too young to know the rest." "Yeah, well, your mom's got good reasons why she doesn't want to talk about him." "But can I ask you this?" "Have you ever wondered why you keep looking for lost animals?" " Because..." " Because why?" " I don't know." " Because y ou're a Ventura!" "AVentura." "Now, although it took along time for our ancestors to develop a kinship with the animal world, eventually, we won them over." "Even the carnivores." "Down through history, the Venturaline continued, including Charles Ventura Darwin." "You know who he was, don't you?" "He was the evolution guy, right?" "Survival of the least loo-hoo-hoo-oser-est." "Did you know a Ventura would never harm an animal?" "One of your ancestors, the great Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Ventura Shackleton." "Although he and his crewwere starving to death, they would not eat a penguin." "Jacques Ventura Cousteau, who invented the scuba suit so that finally man could commune with his watery brethren." "It fit like a glove." "So, you see, Ace Jr., the Venturaline has along and storied career of animal advocacy, communion and search and rescue." "Well, was my dad like the other Venturas?" "I've probably said too much already, buty our mom was in trouble and I thoughty ou needed to know." "So, what you're saying is that I should go out and try to find Ting Tang?" "I'm not saying anything." "I'm just saying." "Saying what?" "Your Y chromosome has the Ventura mutation." "You're one of us." " Come on, Sparky." " Um..." "Grandpa, I'm..." "I'm pretty sure he's dead." "He's not dead." "He's sleeping." "Come on." "Did y ou hearwhat he said?" "My goodness." "My goodness!" "Hey, if I say over the wall, it's over the wall." "Don't be a maverick." "Let's go." "Aaaargh!" "Jeez!" "I didn't know the lunch lady had a nightjob." ""Russell Hollander, NBFW CSl:" "Orlando."" "I like the way that sounds." "I left no stone unturned, no clue undiscovered." "Case closed, Melissa Ventura." " You are guilty." " That guy is one big-time sick monkey, my friend." "Case number 349A49320452." "Alpha-Beta-Delta-Airlines." "Missing panda cub." "Answers to Ting Tang." "Or, if you speak Panda, "Grrrrr."" "On loan from national government." "Country:" "China." "Crime scene shows no sign of disturbance." "As expected, my mom's shoe prints are everywhere." "And the only other prints are panda..." "Or are they?" "Holy roly-poly!" " I knew it." "Uh-oh." "Hey, look, Pong Ping, I'm a family friend." "I knewy our uncle when he was here." "Chan Chin, or..." "Uh, Bing Bang, or..." "Hong Kong?" "Wang Chung?" "You miss your cub?" "Yeah, I miss my mom, too." "But I found some really important clues while I was here." "I'm not the world's greatest, uh... pet sleuth?" "Finder?" "Investigator?" "I don't know." "But... but I'll try." "I promise." "Hey, kid!" "Are y ou Arnold Plushinski?" "Yeah, but call me A-Plus." "Aargh!" "You're dead, Plushinski!" "I mean it!" "Move!" "Uh-oh." "That can't be good." "Proximity alert." "Proximity alert." "Prox..." "Just give up the gummies, Plushinski, and the horror will end!" "Never!" "Excuse me." "Move!" "Argh!" "Aaargh!" "Move it!" "Get out of the way!" "Where is he?" "You can't hide the gummies forever, Plushinski!" "Where'd he go?" "Hello?" "A-Plus?" "Why are you talking to me?" " Who just said that?" "No one ever talks to me, except bullies." "You're not gonna beat me up, are you?" "No." "I need your help." "Oh." "In here." "What the..." "Awesome!" "Awesome." "Holy cellar-dweller, Batman!" "This place is..." "How did you build this?" "This whole place was forgotten about during a renovation, but I found a way in." "Made my lab." "I can't believe I have a friend and I didn't even have to grow him in a petri dish." "Oh, my God, those are giant gummy worms." "Hey!" "Uh, st..." " That's a bully-tracking device." " Huh?" "They transmit to my GPS here." "A bully eats a harmless-Iooking candy and it gets into his digestive tract." "I can track him for up to 18 hours." " 12 if he eats chili." " Ugh!" "So, how can I help you... friend?" "Um..." "I have some measurements that I need analyized." "These prints are 1.5mm deep, as differentiated from these, which are 2.3mm and these, which are 5mm." "Fascinating, Captain." "These measurements clearly indicate prints made by three different organisms, weighing approximately 125Ibs, 183.253Ibs and 390Ibs respectively." "So, any thing else?" "We're in like Tolkien." "Here's a picture of the guy who runs the site." "His email address is m.sickinger@penningtoncorp.net." "Pennington Corporation." "That's Pennington Jr.'s father's company." " Oh, he's so cool." " Isn't that the kid who rides to school in the limousine?" "Yes." "And he's extraordinarily popular." "Of all the tables in the cafeteria, his is the furthest away from mine." " Do you mind if I keep one of these?" " Of course." "OK." "I'll just..." "I'll just, um... be on my way." "I'll be on my way." "I will talk to you later." "Really?" "And you won't even pretend like I'm not there or give me a swirly?" " No, no." " Awesome!" "Grandpa, I'm pretty sure he's dead." " No!" "He's just a good actor." "Dead dogs don't get dinner." "Huh." "All right." "Hard day at the office?" "It's just that I found all these clues to help Mom's case, but to do that, I had to break my promise to her." "So, you're working on a case?" " Yeah." " You know what they call those working on cases?" "Yeah." "Cops." "Face it, Grandpa." "I'm just a kid who lied to his mom." "I don't know what to do." "Well, you can start by being who you are." "Who you were born to be." "Now, lying to your mom is one thing, but lying to yourself, Ace Jr..." "Son, that leads to a life of disappointment." "That's not normal." "I will be normal." "Hah!" "Hi, this is Pennington Jr." "With a very special message just for you." "You're invited to my birthday party." "Lucky you." "Yes, I'm invited." "I'm invited." " I'm invited!" "Uh-uh-uh-uh." "Press." "Perez Ventura." "I'm here to interview Pennington Jr." " Not on the list." " List?" "What list?" "I don't care about no stinking list!" "I'm with the Daily Rumor Mill." "School paper." "Familiar with freedom of the press?" "It's in something called the Constitution." "You should read it sometime." "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Don't Taser me, bro." "First-Amendmentviolation." "Let him through." "Put him down, boy s." "That's admissible evidence." "I haven't been humiliated like this since they started making us shower after P.E. Ugh!" "We're on a tight schedule." "You got three minutes." "Is that a forest up there?" "Man, you gotta clip those nose hairs." "You could make a teddy bear out of that." "Wow." " You cleaned up Big Foot here real nice." " We pride ourselves on good relations with the press." "But the invitations have been recorded." "There's really nothing I can do." "Waiter, lunch." " Please, take this pass." "It will get you into the gymnasium on the day of the party,where we'll be webcasting the whole thing." " It'll make headlines." " Oh, that's terrific, sport." "Here's a few for you." ""Billionaire Boy In Liposuction Incident."" "Or, "I Had Pennington Jr.'s Alien Love Baby." I'm great with Photoshop." "You're threatening to blackmail me unless I give you information." "I'm a paparazzi." "It's what I do." "But I will get off your back if you tell me about this guy." "Dr. Michael Sickinger." "A brilliant scientist who worked for our animal-genetics laboratory." " It's one of the finest." " Indubitably." "Unfortunately, he's quite insane." " Incontinently." " He harbors a bizarre hatred for pandas." "Incomprehensibly." "Does he still work for your father?" "Oh, no." "We fired him just a few weeks ago." "I believe he's now the chief of non-telegenic species research at the Dinosaur Fossils Foundation." " What?" " I don't know what it means either." "Ask him y ourself." "Oh, I will." "Bye-bye, then." "Every shot I take, a Picasso." "No touching the camera!" " Where is my rabbit, loser?" " Nice to see you too, Tara." "You were supposed to find Breezy a week ago." " You owe us for the extra therapy session." " I can't comment on an ongoing investigation." "Argh!" "Holy magenta!" "You guy s looklike a box of crayons." "Uh-oh!" "Why do you alway s travel in a flock?" "Ladies, is this really necessary?" "Can't we talk this over like civilized adults?" "You can IM me and I'll text you back." "You said I had 72 hours!" " You've had eight days." " Two kinds of people, people." " People that pee in the pool and people who lie about it." " Find Mr. Chompers or go swimming again tomorrow." " What?" " Get to class, Ventura." "I gotta break into Dr. Sickinger's office so you can upload his hard drive." "Oh, I can only do that in my lab." "Would you get out of there?" "Come on, the coast is clear." " Sounds like a three-man job." "Hey, why are you all we with the wet, OK?" "About the three-man job." "I know someone." "But it's gonna take all my power of persuasion to convince this beautiful animal-Iover to commit alevel-five felony." "Please help me break into the Dinosaur Fossil Foundation so we can stop the guy who stole Ting Tang and save my mom before she's sent to prison!" "Um..." "OK." " Really?" " Yeah." " Are those from my mom's garden?" " Nah." "Shut up." "Right this way, folks." "Stick together." "OK." "You are all in for a very special treat - the rarest, most complete tyrannosaur skeleton in existence." "It has an estimated value of $100 million." "Uh-huh." "Do not touch it." " $100 million?" " You wanty our fish back, you're hot?" ""Or not?" Don't worry, this plan is gravy." "Everybody, stay close." "We're on a tight schedule." " Oh, a T. Rex." "Cool." " I'm sorry, sir." "No pets allowed." "He's my Seeing Eye dog." "He's facing backwards." "And you're not blind." "I can see again!" "I can see!" "It's a miracle!" "It's a miracle!" " Sir." "I mean it, y ou..." " Fine." "I'll take him off." "I'm so sorry about all this." " Make him stop doing that!" " He's a dog, it's a bone." "Do the math." "Wha..." "Oh." "Oh, jeez." "Oxnard Hueneme Carpinteria Ventura, you get back here right now!" "Sir, that is a priceless skeleton unearthed in the Bad Lands..." "Please!" "This thing's lasted millions of years." " It's going to survive a little doggy love nibble." "May be not." "Oh!" "OK." "OK." "I told you it would work." "Now go." "I'll meet you in the dinosaur cavern." "Go." "Security!" "Have you seen a little kid run past here?" " Come on, let's go!" " A-Plus, are you there?" " Affirmative." "This is so cool." "Now I have two friends." "Let's start a band." "Do you play an instrument?" "I used to play the bagpipes, but my legs are too skinny for a kilt." "Come on!" "I'm in the office and it's really freaky in here." "Tell me what to do." "Ohhh!" "Argh!" "Don't let him get away!" "He went this way!" "That's him!" "Aaargh!" "Oh!" "OK." "Your program's running." " Oh, one otherthing." " What?" "In my instant messenger, can I move y ou from "Contacts" to "Buddies"?" " No." " Can I put you on my fave five?" " No." " My Space add?" "Denied." "Butwe're friends now, right?" "Sure, A-Plus." "We're friends." "And you're a girl, right?" "Duh." "So I can call you my girlfriend, right?" "Fine, be that way." "There he goes!" "There he goes!" "Get out of my way!" "No, I'm going first!" "You..." "OK, it's finished." "He's over there!" "Beep beep!" " Copy that." "Come here, kid!" "Come here!" "Argh!" "Jeez!" "With the sneaking up on me, OK?" " Mission accomplished." "Where's Ox?" " Well, I don't know." "He's alone wolf." " You're putting that bone back." " Fine." "All right, he's in the tunnel!" "Give me a flashlight." "Let's go!" "This way!" "Whoa!" "Stay where y ou are!" "Fan out." "Do you Heely?" " Shall we?" " Let's do." "Fun time's over." "Go!" "Hey, that's my girl!" "Got you!" "Got you!" "Vámonos!" "You're not gonna let him keep that?" " I'll put it backlater." "Good job, Ox." "Where are the kids?" "Where did they go?" "Which way?" "Bunch of idiots!" "Oh, man." "Her financial situation is dire and, as the bears' keeper, she has ready access to the panda house at any time." "The agency's skilled forensics team has concluded that the only fresh footprints at the crime scene belong to Mrs. Ventura." "I object!" "Excuse me." "Who are y ou?" "Ace Ventura Darrow Hutz Junior, Esquire, of the following lawfirms - one minute " "Dewey, Fleeceum  Grab, Wiley, Little  Weasel," "Shakem, Down  Hard, Cheap, Ambulance  Chaser," "Imontha, Take  Lovitt, Ben, Dover  Grunt, and the non-profit Mater Innocentus." "My mom is innocent." "Your Honor, I represent the defendant." "Your Honor, this is ridiculous." "He's a 12-year-old behavioral case and the defendant's son." "This is a bail hearing." "Character is pertinent." "Continue, young man." "Ow, that must have hurt, and it's only gonna get worse." "Pay attention." " Thank you, paralegal Laura." " You're very welcome." " Come on, Your Honor!" " Pardon me, Your Honor." "My bad." " Thank you, pretty paralegal Laura." " You're very welcome, Mr. Esquire." "Come on, boys." "Drop it." "OK, I'm good, I'm good." "The only foot prints that Agent Hollander and his personal CSI" " Complete Stupid Idiots - found at the scene were..." "OK, a little help." "It's getting really heavy, bailiffs." "Please!" "And let me remind you, you're under oath!" " I'm not." " I want the truth!" "You can't handle the truth!" "Be seated, you maggot, immediately, if not sooner!" "Anyw way, the only footprints that Ranger Blockhead found in the habitat, besides my mom's shoeprints, were panda prints." "The average panda weighs 352Ibs, with a body mass index of 21.34." "At overfive feet in length, the panda has slightly offset weight distribution." "They use a thumb-like sesamoid bone for stability, and would create a 5mm-deep footprint." "But, as y ou can see, these are 2.3mm-deep footprints, that I just created by adding 75Ibs to my weight." "A man weighing 183Ibs would indeed establish a print depth of 2.3mm." "We are looking for a 183Ibs man, not a..." "Mom, how much do y ou weigh?" " 110." " You wanna be free or not?" " 135." "...135Ibs woman." "If the footprints don't fit, you must acquit." " Order!" "Order!" "Thank y ou, thank y ou!" "That's Ventura with a V, as in victory." "I plead for acquittal, Your Honor." "Game, set, match." "Cut, print, moving on, and scene." "Let me get this straight." "You trespassed on a federal crime scene." "Or you're just making all this up." "Um..." "Well..." "It's a hypothesis." "A theory, if y ou will." "Well, that's terrific, tiger." "But, listen, right now, the grown-ups have to send your mommy to jail... unless someone else wants to put on a Halloween costume and vandalize the courtroom?" "Order!" "I'm sorry, young man." "It's an interesting theory, but this case involves an endangered species, international relations." "Bail is set at $500,000." "Melissa Ventura, y ou're remanded to the custody of the state of Florida." "Ace, where did you get all that information?" " You promised you wouldn't..." " But Grandpa said..." " He carries around a dead dog, Ace." " It's not dead, it's just sleeping." "I thought I could help y ou solve the caseby finding Ting Tang or something, but no one believes me, not even you." "Of course I do." "I just don'twant to lose you." " Like you lost Dad?" " Yeah, like I lost Dad." "I realize now that no matterwhat I say, y ou're gonna be who y ou are." "I wanty ou to know the truth abouty our dad." "I just didn't talk about him orwhat he did because I..." "I didn'twanty ou to follow in his footsteps." "What happened to him?" "He was on a case." "Using an ultralight plane, he was leading a flock of disabled Canadian snow geese back to their winter breeding ground in Miami." "They said that he got disoriented, and he vanished from radar somewhere over the Bermuda Triangle." "Oh, Ace." "Time is up." "Gotta get you on the bus." "I've been saving something for you."

"Let's crash into the door in our million-dollar personal helicopter." " Ace." " I'm working on it." "Hey, Laura, glad you could make it." "Hi, how are you?"

"OK, fine, fine." "National Bureau of Fish and Wildlife, how can I direct you?" "Yes, I have an anony mous tip for Agent Hollander." "Is he currently on... doodie?" " Gum!" "I need a piece of gum." " Here." "We received an anonymous tip instructing us to come here." "From whom?" "Anony mous." "The tip said that the case of the missing panda cub has been solved!"
