"[GROWLING]" "[GUITAR STRINGS SCREECHING]" "Dad, he's here." "So he is." "Krishna, I'm Dr. Tracy." " We meet at last, doctor." " Yes, indeed." "Should've sent a picture with his letter." "I would've met him at the airport." "Oh, really?" "Maybe I should have gotten myself a turban." "MARSH:" "I'd like you to meet my daughter, Paula." " Hello." " I'm very pleased." " And Mr. Jack Dane." " How do you do?" " And Mr. Mike Makula." " Great pleasure." " Thank you." " And our little Judy." "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "And right behind you is Clarence." "[GROWLS]" "Oh, don't be alarmed, Krishna." "Clarence only gets upset if you don't make a fuss over him." "My uncle had told me these two were part of the family." "It seems he was not exaggerating." " To express my appreciation." " For me?" "A gift from my uncle and myself for everyone in your house." "Oh, it's beautiful." "Is it real gold?" "Paula." "My uncle holds Dr. Tracy in great esteem." "Well, your uncle is far too generous." "Well, being the third-richest man in my country he can afford to be generous." "MARSH:" "I'm certain that this won't cause us the worry that his last gift has." "His last gift?" "I did not know that he had sent you something recently." "Yes, indeed." "Well, come on, I'll show you." " We'll put your bags in your room." " This is very kind." "Thank you." "Over here." "MARSH:" "Yeah, this beautiful creature right over here." "Your uncle sent her to me last year." "I named her Zenovia." "She's responded beautifully to our affection training program we've also been running some tests to see how well she adapts to African environment but, well, lately she hasn't been doing too well." "What seems to be the trouble?" "Hmm." "I don't know." "We were sort of hoping she'd form an attachment to Sarang over there but, well, so far no luck." "[GROWLING]" "Oh, she certainly seems to like you." "Well, that's more life I've seen in her in two days." "You know, it's uncanny, it's as if she knows you." " Yeah, she's very sensitive to smell." " I beg your pardon?" "Oh, heh, no, I didn't mean you, Krishna." "Well, she can detect an aura of your country that even we can't possibly detect." "That scar." " A fight or an accident, perhaps." " No, a bullet wound." "She was shot during a hunt, but not until she mauled the man." "Did the man die?" "Well, your uncle didn't give us any details." "He sent her to me because, well, since she was crippled he was afraid she might become a man-eater if she were set free and, of course she's all improved now." "Physically, at least." "Won't you come inside and I'll show you your room?" "If you wouldn't mind, I would like to stay out here and, uh, meditate for a moment." " Oh, certainly." " Meditate?" "It's an ancient custom of Krishna's country, Paula." "A very fine and pleasant habit." "We'll be inside." "Very well." "And naturally, this is the nursery and clinic." "You look upon these animals as if they were really your children." "Oh, in a way they are." "You don't approve?" "Well, in matters of humans and animals I approve of things being kept in their proper perspective." "[JUDY  TOTO GIBBERING]" "All right, Toto, that's enough." "Thank you." "We mix all of our foods." "You see, the diet of all the animals is very important and each animal has its own special formula." "We've tried to be especially creative with some of Zenovia's foods." "In fact, it's Zenovia's feeding time." "It's fascinating." "Really, most interesting." "Unfortunately, we haven't been able to come up with a formula to lift Zenovia's spirits." "But we do use hundreds of pounds of a specially prepared dry meat each week." "And, well, I can't tell you how many tons of alfalfa and hay and other herbs and grasses." "And, uh, what is my diet going to be?" "How about some cassava roots, wild berries and other goodies?" "KRISHNA:" "Ha, ha." "Oh, yes, most amusing." "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Judy, what are you doing?" "It seems there is something else that she wishes to show me." "Judy, stop that." "I can conduct this tour without your help." "[GIBBERS]" "She really likes you." "You know, you would think you were old friends." "I assure you, such is not the case." "Then perhaps it's love at first sight." "Why don't you feed her?" "I've got to fix dinner..." " ...and I'll call you when it's ready." " Oh, yes, of course." " I'll be here." " Good." "Here, Zenovia, your last supper." "[JUDY SCREECHING]" "[ZENOVIA GROWLING]" "Come back!" "Come back here, you stupid little ape!" "What the devil?" "Come back here, hear me?" "Come back here!" " Where are you going, you stupid ape?" " What's going on?" "Well, your little ape suddenly took the tiger's food..." " ...and began dumping it on the ground." " Judy." "MARSH:" "That's odd." "PAULA:" "She's been acting strange all afternoon." "Now, what's gotten into you, anyway?" "Judy, stop that." "Well, she's probably just had a fight with Clarence." "Uh...." "Paula, why don't you, um, fix Zenovia another plate of food?" "Why don't we have some refreshments, huh?" "There'll be no supper for you." "Teach you to waste food." "Thank you." "Well, how many countries do you intend to visit on your vacation, Krishna?" "Well, I haven't really decided yet, Dr. Tracy." "Well, last I heard, you were attending the university." "Just, uh, what are you doing now?" "I'm presently employed as a clerk in one of my uncle's warehouses." "Upon my return, I hope to greatly improve my position." "Well, I think we should drink to your improved position." " Thank you." " Cheers." " May I get you another?" " No, thank you very much I fear that I am a bit weary from my trip." "I would like to take a walk and meditate a while..." " ...and then retire with your permission." " Of course." " Thank you." " If you should run into Mike would you tell him that his dinner is getting cold?" " Oh, yes, certainly." " Thank you." "You know, Paula, I'm glad Krishna's here." "Give you a chance to absorb some of his Eastern philosophy." "Krishna's a rather remarkable and yet complex young man." "I wonder what's going on in his mind." "Right now, I'm rather curious as to what's going on in her mind." "I'm meditating." "Oh, she's meditating." "Okay, if it's about the dishes, yeah, I'll help." "Great." "Heh." "Oof." "You know, Dad, this philosophy really works." "In." "[GROWLS]" " Oh, hello, Krishna." " Boy, you are working late." "You must be on the brink of some meaningful discovery." "Ha, ha." "Nothing that dramatic." "We have to examine some field animals in the morning." " We'll need a big supply of tranquilizers." " Looks as if you are preparing..." " ...for a dart-throwing tournament." " Ha, ha." "Not exactly." "You see, these are propelled by a dart rifle like the one on the wall there." "One shot could put an elephant asleep for say an hour or so while we either examine him or treat him." " Don't you risk killing the animal?" " Oh, yes, always." "That's why we take such care to prepare the proper dosage." "For instance, the dosage in this dart would tranquilize an elephant." "What would that do to a smaller animal?" "It would kill him." "Fascinating." "Oh, uh, Dr. Tracy wants you." "I think it has to do with your dinner." "Ah, well, I was prepared to lock up here anyway." "[SIGHS]" " Are you coming?" " Oh, may I stay for a while?" "I would like to study the animals." "I'll lock up for you." " All right." " Oh, fine." "[GROWLING]" "You are happy to see me?" "Well, I'm happy to see you too." "I am sorry, Zenovia." "But for both of us there is no other way." "[JUDY SCREECHES]" "Let go." "Get away." "What are you doing?" "Get away from me." "Let go." "Get away!" "[GROWLING]" "[JUDY SCREECHING]" "Go, get away from me." " What's going on?" " I don't know." "[JUDY GIBBERING AND SCREECHING]" " What's gotten into you?" " She's trying to tell us something." "I think she's about ready for a nice, long rest in the country." "KRISHNA:" "Dr. Tracy." "[GRUNTING]" " What is wrong?" " That's what we're trying to figure out." "Judy, come on, calm down." "Judy." "Judy, did you bring Clarence over here to tease Zenovia?" " Oh, get away." "Get away." " Judy." "I must say, Marsh, you have a most inhospitable ape." "Well, I must admit, it does appear that way but, well, this isn't like Judy at all." "[SCREECHES]" "Zenovia seems to be all right." "[GROWLING]" "Well, if she's not disturbed by Judy's caterwauling we might as well all go back to bed." "One more outburst out of you, young lady I'm gonna banish you to a distant tree." "Now, you go to sleep." " Go on." "You too, Clarence." " Perhaps, Judy, Clarence and I were enemies in another life." "If I don't get any sleep tonight Judy, Clarence, and I are gonna be enemies in this life." "[ALL CHUCKLE]" "Krishna?" "[GRUNTING]" " Look at that." " Heh." "Yeah." "Exactly 30 minutes." "Yeah, it's fascinating, isn't it?" "That time device was invented over 2000 years ago." "It's just about as accurate as my stopwatch too." "Yes, such a disturbing paradox." "It's like my own country." "Existing in the 20th century yet still ensnared by the customs of the ancients." "I understand you have a university degree in political science." "Yes." "It always seemed to me, Krishna, that you have a wonderful opportunity." "You could be a powerful new force in your country." "With your education, you could help teach you could help others to fight poverty and ignorance." "That was my thought when I accepted my uncle's offer to finance my education." "Yet I've since discovered that my uncle is a prime example of our frustrating paradox." "Yes, I must admit, I was somewhat astonished..." " ...when I was with your uncle in India." " Why, Dad?" "Well, it seems there's a custom in, well, Krishna's uncle's empire that before a man can assume a position of responsibility he must, um, prove himself worthy by what you say, mortal combat, huh?" "PAULA:" "You mean, you fight one another?" " No, no." "One must go on one of my uncle's famous tiger hunts." "He must seek out the tiger and kill it." " Well, that's barbaric, isn't it?" " Yes." "The tiger comes rushing from the bush crazed with fear by the noise of the beaters." "He rushes towards the man and there is the moment of truth." "When he is proved brave and worthy or unworthy and cowardly." "So stupid." "So cruel." "Meaningless and stupid." "Krishna, did you, um, ever have to face one of your uncle's tigers?" "Yes." "And you killed it?" "I was not proved unworthy." "Here, grab him." "I'm gonna go on a field trip to check some of our test animals would you, um, care to join us?" "Oh, it sounds interesting, but I do have several letters to write." " Later perhaps." " Oh, that's fine, all right." "Mike, you got all the tranquilizing solutions prepared?" "Oh, yes, did it last night." "They're in the truck." "Okay." "Well, I guess we'd better get going." "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Krishna, if you should decide to join us later..." " ...why, just call us on this walkie-talkie." " Splendid." "Not this trip, you two." "Clarence, I want you to keep an eye on everything." " Don't let Judy get into any more trouble." " We'll see you later." ""Am I a man who dreams he is a tiger?" "Or am I a tiger who dreams he is a man?"" "An old proverb, Zenovia." "We live in a strange and twisted world, my friend." "Understand that I'm only doing what I must." "[ZENOVIA GROWLS]" "[GIBBERING]" "KRISHNA:" "Judy." "KRISHNA [OVER RADIO]:" "Dr. Tracy, Dr. Tracy." "Can you hear me?" "Yes, Krishna." "Anything wrong?" "I'm afraid so, Dr. Tracy." "Your chimp has just chased away Zenovia." "What?" "What do you mean?" "Well, she's pulled away her neck chain and chased her into the bush." " But why?" "How did it happen?" " I" " I don't know why." "Krishna, which direction did Zenovia run?" "She ran south, behind the nursery." "KRISHNA:" "Have you got an extra dart rifle?" "Well, yes, but, um, what would you want with a dart rifle?" "Well, Mike has explained its use to me." "If Zenovia comes back, I could sedate her until you return." "Well, there's an extra one in the clinic, uh, Krishna but, listen, are you certain you know how to use one?" " The wrong dosage could be fatal." " Yes, I know." "Marsh, can I have this?" "Krishna, the darts with the green markings contain the proper dosage to sedate an animal Zenovia's size." "The green markings." "Yes, very well." "And, Krishna." "Listen, please, stay at the compound." "We'll, uh, start our search from here." " Okay?" " Yes, I'll be here, doctor." "All right." "Out." "Well, if Zenovia headed south then she must be on the other side of Wameru." "Let's circle wide and see if we can head her off." "[TRUMPETING]" "[SCREECHING]" "[SNORTING]" "[GROWLS]" "[ROARS]" "[CATERWAULS]" "Dad, look." " Mauled by a cat." " What kind?" " Leopard, lion" " Tiger?" "Paula, get my medical kit." "It's in the back of the truck." "Mike, Paula." "I want you to take him back to the clinic and stay with him." " Don't you wanna come?" " No, he's in no danger." "I, uh, gave him a strong sedative." "He should sleep for several hours." "I wanna find Zenovia." "Dad, are you saying that Zenovia might have done this?" " I'm not saying that." " But you're thinking it, aren't you?" "Paula, all I know is that Zenovia has not been well." "Now she's in a strictly foreign environment." "She's afraid, and animals attack out of fear." "And I also know that she couldn't possibly have done this." "I don't think she would either." "But just the same I want her home safe when that young chap comes around." "Now come on, get a move on." "Krishna!" "Krishna!" " Where did he go?" " I don't know." "We better get him inside." "[MIKE SIGHS]" " He took the dart rifle." " Where?" "Dad told him to stay here." "Hmm." "Tell you what." "You stay with him, I'll have a look around." "Krishna!" "Clarence, what's wrong with you?" "Have you seen Krishna?" "And where is Judy?" "Oh, you're a great help." "Either Zenovia's been here and gone again or Krishna has a very poor sense of direction." "[ZENOVIA GROWLS]" "Mike!" "[GROANS]" "Easy." "Easy." "You've got to lie still." "Can you talk?" "Did you see what kind of animal did this to you?" "You saw?" "Was it a large cat?" "A tiger?" "Like a lion, but with stripes?" "[MAN GROANING]" "Did he look like that one?" "A tiger?" "Are you sure?" "Oh, please." "I've got to be sure." "I've gotta know." "Yeah." "This is where the cat hit him, all right." "Yeah, looks like." "Well, I guess it's not Zenovia." "Krishna said she went south of the compound..." " ...this is pretty well north." " Yeah, he did say south, didn't he?" "Well, I don't know, Marsh." "There's tracks all over the place." "There's so many species, you can't get a clear definition." "Yeah." "Look, let's split up." "Maybe one of us can pick up a clear track further on." "All right." "I'll head off that way." "[ZENOVIA GROWLS]" "[GIBBERING]" "[ZENOVIA GROWLS]" "[TRUMPETS]" "Sorry, Judy." "Daktari is miles away." "There is no one to help you save Zenovia this time." "[GROWLING]" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Judy!" "You wanna get us both killed?" "[ZENOVIA ROARS]" "[LEOPARD CATERWAULS]" "I don't believe it." "Zenovia is protecting me from the leopard." "[LEOPARD CATERWAULING]" "[JUDY SCREECHING]" "[GUNSHOT]" "MARSH:" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Aha, thattagirl." "You all right?" " Krishna, are you all right?" " Yes, I think so." "How did you get here?" "I ran across a native a while ago who was mauled by a cat." "For a while, I was afraid it was Zenovia." "But then I picked up that leopard's tracks." "It had traces of blood and I followed it here." "But I certainly didn't expect to find you, Judy and Zenovia here." "[ZENOVIA GROWLING AND JUDY GIBBERING]" " I lied about the direction Zenovia ran." " You lied?" " Yes." " Why?" "I wanted to hunt her down." " So you wanted to kill Zenovia, huh?" " Yes." "And while I was trying to kill her, she was saving my life." "Here." "Take this." "My hunt is finally over." "I guess it's been going on for a long time, huh, Krishna?" "Yes, it has." "I was the man Zenovia mauled." "[GROWLING]" "[ZENOVIA GROWLING]" "It's amazing." "I've never seen Zenovia so active in all my life." "Well, I just think we overprotected her." "That little bout with the leopard seems to have done her a lot of good." "Whatever the explanation, I'm pleased." "I hope you will believe that and forgive me." "Well, now that we understand, Krishna, we do forgive you." "Both of you." "You are very kind, all of you." "It's strange." "I had intended to return to my uncle with Zenovia's skin." "Now I will try to prove my manhood, my worth by facing the human tiger, my uncle." "By trying to speak as a firm and reasonable man." "By showing him the error of his ways." "Now that I understand something about the ways of animals perhaps I can make him understand about people." " Good luck, Krishna." " Thank you." "And that good luck goes for me too." "Oh, that settles it." "I am gonna get me a turban." "[ALL CHUCKLE]" "I think getting me to the airport would be sufficient." " Come on, let's go." " Goodbye again." "Goodbye, Krishna." "[TIGERS GROWLING]" "Look at Judy." "I've never seen her so completely still." "What's wrong with her?" "Oh, can't you tell?" "She's meditating." " Meditating?" " Mm-hm." "[MIKE SIGHS]" "[English" " US" " SDH]"
