"[GIBBERING]" "[GROWLING]" "[WHINING]" "Well, I certainly appreciate your hospitality." "The first thing when I got to Africa was to come and see my old friends and neighbors." "Africa must seem very different from the Riviera." "Africa is very different from the way I remember it, yes." "Marsh?" "Whatever happed to Paula, the girl in pigtails?" "There's a woman in the house." "A beautiful woman." " Welcome home." " You're my welcome home." "Africa in bloom." " You're a beautiful woman." " Yes, um, Paula has grown up, heh." "But then you've changed too, Nicky." "You've become a man, assuming your father's responsibilities with a large dairy farm to run." "I know a lot more about roulette than I know about dairy farming." "I'm gonna try and carry on where my father left off." "I guess I could start with a milking machine." "Well, I certainly appreciate you dropping by, Nicky." "And don't forget, if there's anything I can ever do, well...." " As a matter of fact, there is." " Well, you just name it." "You could help me get back that strip of land." "Strip of land?" "You haven't forgotten that 2000-acre strip of land that you talked my father into giving back to the reserve, have you?" "No, Nicky, I haven't forgotten it." "You're right." "I did persuade your father to give it to the government." "I just had a look at it." "It's a very large piece of property." "I need that for my dairy ranch." "Well, Nicky, that strip of land is a very necessary corridor between the wild game of the reserve and the domestic herds of the surrounding ranchers." "Including yours." "Do you know what would happen without that land?" "Marsh, I've been away for a long time." "I want that land." "MARSH:" "Well, without it, the predators, lion, for example might wander into the domestic herds and make a kill." "And once a lion has tasted the flesh of a cow, he becomes a killer of cattle." "He does?" "Well, I guess I've been away longer than I thought." "Yes, they soon learn that cow is easy prey." "So, Nicky, if that land returned back to you now..." " ...why, you could be creating killer lion." " I thought all lions were killers." "[ROARS]" "Except Clarence, of course." "No, no, not of domestic stock." "Until they learn to like the meat." "And if we suddenly had lion raids the ranchers might rise up against the reserve and demand all our animals be driven out and the reserve broken up into farms." "It has happened elsewhere." " It has?" " So I'm sorry, Nicky." "No, by turning that over to you, it, uh, could be signing the death warrant for a lot of cattle and the death warrant for the reserve." "Well, I guess I was asking too much, wasn't I?" "Perfect combination." "Beauty and the beast." "Clarence." "No, no." "[ROARS]" "Bye." "[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]" "The great Nicky Sebastian, huh?" "That's the hand-kissing playboy you used to have the school-girl crush on?" "He's not a playboy." "He's just a gentleman." "And he knows how to treat a lady like a lady." "You know, it's too bad there are not more of them around." "Right, Judy?" "[GIBBERING]" "Now I remember him." "From pictures." "Eight-goal polo player." "Well, polo player, playboy, who knows." "Maybe the passing of a fine father might be the making of a prodigal son." " Mm-hm." " I hope so." "Mr. Kessler, how would you like it if we got that corridor back?" "All those wild animals would make a marvelous private hunting ground." "Wealthy Europeans, Americans, pay a lot of money to hunt here." "Could turn the ranch house into the most famous hunting lodge in Africa." "You could lose all the cattle." "Where would that leave me?" "With a modest percentage of the returns." "Enough for a trip or two to taste life on the Riviera." " How would you like that?" " I'd like it." " How do we work it?" " We create ourselves a killer." "Just like Marsh Tracy said." "[BIRDS SINGING]" "This lion country?" "Well, she's already killed, why did we stop here?" " Plenty of lions who haven't eaten." " All right, let's go." "[COWS MOOING]" "[AIR LEAKING]" "[MOOING]" "[SHOUTING]" "Well, Mr. Kessler, I'd like you to know that you've been a real help." "Well, now it looks like we had an accident." "Mike, better get out the steak truck." "We gotta round up those cattle." " Right away." " Right away is right." "It isn't only lion." "Leopard could attack them." "Herd of wild dog." "Any other predators could become killers of cattle." "Marsh, I got the hypo-dart rifles ready just in case." " And some rope." " Good, Jack." "Nicky, uh, whatever possessed you to take the reserve road?" "You're embarrassing me in front of a lady." "The family fortunes have somehow disappeared." "I was taking the cattle into town to sell for money." "There's nothing wrong with selling cattle." "A lot of people do it." "Paula, the bush road is no road for a cattle truck." "And you know that, Kessler." "Wait, don't blame Kessler." "It's my fault." "I told him to take the shortcut." "Well, what happened?" "Tire blew out, truck ran into a tree we were both knocked unconscious." "The tailgate was sprung open and that's how the cattle got out." "HEDLEY:" "Well, no matter how it happened it's done and it could be the reserve's undoing." "Marsh, you know how the ranchers feel about the reserve." "That the land should be used for their cattle rather than set aside for wild animals, as they call it." "Now, if you don't rescue those cattle this incident could set off a storm that could sweep you out of Wameru." "For Pete's sake." "You sound as if I deliberately parachuted those cows in there..." " ...so they could be eaten by lion." " I don't mean to." "But if anyone could rescue those cattle, you and the boys can." " Now, Marsh, I'm counting on you." " Yeah, yeah." "[GIBBERS]" "Thank you." "I better be getting back to the ranch." "PAULA:" "Judy, come on, let's go." "Nicky, take one of these every two hours." "It's for your head." " What about my heart?" " Oh, brother." "His father would have joined the hunt if he had a broken leg." "He's not exactly a chip off the old block, is he?" "He's more like a splinter, which is getting under my skin." " Jack, he could have a concussion." " He's a phony." " Jack." " Will you two cut it out?" "Come on, let's get going." "Marsh, I'm telling you, I read this guy." "He is a phony." "I wouldn't be surprised if he trumped this up..." " ...just to get that land back." " You're being unduly suspicious." "Now, there's no foundation for an accusation that strong." "Well, call it intuition if you want to, but I'll bet you he's up to something." "Nicky?" "Jack, you're jealous." "Over what?" "Some eight-goal four-flusher from the Riviera?" ""What about my heart?" I'll tell you what about his heart, it's black." "What do you think, Marsh?" "Well, he wants that strip of land back, the protective corridor." "I can't believe that Nicky would...." "No, Jack, uh, I know you don't trust him but for the moment we're gonna have to give him the benefit of the doubt." "MIKE:" "What do you think, Marsh?" " I'll tell you what I think." "We know what you think, Jack, but we can't arrest somebody on suspicion." "I'm gonna send for some beaters." "You can't look for cows with vehicles in that part of the bush." "Well, they wandered through there." "You can see by the tracks in the foliage they started to scatter." "They could be anywhere." "[LION ROARS]" "Oh, boy." "Lion have picked up their scent." "Those cows are gonna be mighty easy prey." "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "[GROWLING]" "[ROARS]" "That's only the beginning." "Paula, you and Judy better get in the Jeep." "[SIGHS]" "We'll take him back to the compound and cage him up until this crisis is over." "Boy, I wish we could immobilize every lion on the reserve." "Yeah, but we can't." "We can't go through bush like that in our trucks to get those cows, either." "Hedley was right, we'll have to do it on foot." "Or, uh, horseback." "Horseback?" "Well, isn't that the way you usually round up cattle with a rope and a yahoo?" "Yes, I think I'll see if I can find myself another horseman." " Hey, Marsh?" "What's wrong with us?" " Well, not a thing." "I just had someone else in mind." "Who?" "Not Hedley?" "I mean, he, uh, might fall off." "Heh, no, not Hedley." "No, I mean one of the finest horsemen in all of Africa." "You read about his prowess in the papers." "Nicky Sebastian?" "He won't go with you." "Why shouldn't he?" "If he wanted to save those cows from the lion he'd be out here right now just like we are." "He won't go because he doesn't wanna dig up evidence against himself." "Why don't we wait until we all know a little more about Nicky Sebastian?" "See how important this corridor is to the reserve, Paula?" "It's" " Well, it's not only a buffer zone between the bush where the lions are and the cattle." "It's an open sanctuary." "Where the browsers and grazers can live in peace and the lions can't sneak up on them." "We can't lose this to Nicky." "All our work would go up in smoke." "Hey, look, look." "Look at that old soldier doing sentry duty over there, huh?" "[CHUCKLES]" "[JUDY GIBBERS]" "You're not thinking about waterbuck right now, are you?" "Nicky?" " I like him, Dad." " Well, we all do." "[GIBBERING]" "Now, Jack just has to be wrong." "I can't believe that he planned this." "Well, don't forget, I'm on your side." "I sure hope I don't have to switch." "Hello, Marsh." "MARSH:" "You recovered rather quickly, didn't you?" "Oh." "A few polo shots to clear the head." "Uh, guess my bandage fell off, maybe I shouldn't be riding." "Maybe you should." "I'm rounding up your cows." " Want to come along?" " What, on horseback?" " Be lion bait?" "Oh, no, heh." " But they're your cows." "Well, it's my life too, Marsh." "You know just as well as anybody that a man on horseback is target for lion." "That's why they gave up hunting lion on horseback." "Only way we can snake your cows out of the bush is on horse and with a rope." "Are you coming or do you want your cattle killed?" "Marsh, I don't think we should let this come between friends and neighbors." " We've known each other for too long." " I'm not sure I do know you, Nicky." "Not anymore." "Marsh, don't get yourself killed over a few cows." "Well, he's not joining in the search." "He's been away, leading a different life." "You can't expect him to know how serious this is." "Yeah." " Nothing in your loop, cowpoke?" " Nope." "[SIGHS]" "Maybe we should get some horses too, huh?" "No, no, you'll have a tough enough job handling the cows once I flush them out." "I think I'll try, uh, that ravine over there." "[GIBBERING]" "Hey, Marsh, you, uh, wanna wait a minute?" "Ah." "Never thought of a cow spotter." "She's now in the process of coordinating her motor and sensory capacities." "If it's a cow I'll be in touch." "Judy, I hope that wasn't just another chimp." "Yeah, Judy's getting to be as romantic as Paula." "One cow, coming up." "MARSH [OVER RADIO]:" "And, uh, thanks, Judy." "[COW MOOS]" "[LAUGHS]" "All right, my friend, now we just play follow the leader." "Okay, that ought to hold her all right." "You better take her back to the compound." "She hasn't had any water and the scent of wild animals has really shaken her up." "Okay, be right back." "Hey, Judy." "Judy, aren't you gonna help me again?" "[GIBBERS]" "How about that?" "A one-cow chimp." "[COW MOOS]" "Ah." "A cow." "A cow." "Come on, Nagoro, I found a cow." "Wouldn't you know it?" "In the general excitement, I forgot to bring a rope." "Well, come on, come on, give us your belt and we'll make a rope." "[INHALES]" "Oh, can't lose my trousers." "Come on, hurry up, let's have your belt." "After all, I am the district officer." "Even Hedley stumbled onto one of them." "Tracy keeps that up, you don't get your shooting gallery back." "I'll get it back." "Well, even if your rich friends don't come over and hunt, uh that Paula Tracy would make Africa bearable, wouldn't she?" "[KESSLER CHUCKLES]" "I never let my private life interfere with business." " My foreman neither, understand that?" " Okay, Nicky, so I was out of line." "All right, let's finish this job." "[MOOING]" "This is one cow they're not gonna get back." "Not out of this old elephant trap." "You got a good idea." "Well...." "Well, that's beautiful." "Cow can't get out but the lion can get down to her." "[LION ROARS]" "Hey, he must have been stalking her." "We're trying to create a killer, not kill one." "Give him some room." "[LION ROARING AND COW MOOING]" "Judy, we've already watered the cow, we don't need another bucket." "Hey, what's getting in to her?" "Take it from an old farmhand, Judy wants you to milk her." "JACK:" "Ha, ha." " Me?" "Mm-hm." "If you don't milk a cow regularly the milk goes salty and you might lose the cow." "That's terrible." "Mike, you know how to milk a cow, you do it." "Oh, can't." "Daktari just called, he has two more cows, Hedley has one." "PAULA:" "Jack, you'll stay and help." "JACK:" "Ho-ho, no, no." "Yes, Jack, it only takes one person to drive a truck but it might take two to milk this cow." "No, sir." "Hey, Mike, come back." "Oh, it seems so primitive." "Now you see, I was right about modern women you don't know how to do hard work anymore." "If you didn't spend so much time pushing buttons you'd know how to pull those...things." "All right, wise guy, you milk her." "Go ahead." "Okay." "For my first number I shall play:" "JACK [SINGING]:" "Oh, the bagpipes are coming" "I don't have it." "I don't have the magic touch." "Maybe there's a spigot under here somewhere." "Hey, come on, stop clowning around." "You heard what Mike said, we have to get her milked." "Yeah." "Tell you what, uh, maybe I ought to jump in the Jeep and give Mike a hand, huh?" " Hey, I know I should." " Hey, wait, don't leave me here alone." "[CAR ENGINE STARTS]" "[GIBBERS]" "Judy, when you're here, I'm never alone, am I?" "Heh, you know, you make a lovely milkmaid." "[CLARENCE GROWLS]" "Judy." "Clarence, you're just like an old barn cat." "Good show, Marsh." "That one makes six the one back at the compound, seven, there's only one cow missing." " We've done it." " Yeah, just about." "[CAR APPROACHING]" " I wonder what Jack saw." " I don't know." " I hope it's the last cow." " Heh." "Looks like a lion kill, doesn't it?" "MARSH:" "Yeah." "Well, now I know Nicky's behind it." "Intuition?" "Proof." "I stopped back at the scene of the accident." "Remember the side of the road the cattle were on before they disappeared into the bush?" "Go on." "Well, this supposed accident occurred on the other side." "I can show you his car tree to prove it." "In short, Nicky dropped the cows in the middle of the road chased them off, faked the accident on the other side." "Did you take criminology in college as well?" " Marsh, I'm serious." " So am I." "Well, there's the last cow, all right." "What's left of her." "After the lion's share." "Well, they're not so smart after all." "When they brushed out their own footprints they brushed out the cow's too." "Okay, detective." "On the Riviera, I would have had my first martini by now." "Home, Kessler." "Do you really suppose Nicky Sebastian brewed this plot just to get his father's land back?" "Well, if he did, I'd like to see him stew in his own brew, that I would." "[CAR APPROACHING]" "How's it look, Dad?" " We're running out of time." " Dad?" "We're taking it one step at a time." "Just like that lion out there." "All right." "We'll take the horse back." "He served his purpose." "We'll keep in touch by walkie-talkie and two-way radio." "Jack, take the hypo-dart rifle and patrol the southern perimeter." "Just in case we flush him out or he crosses over to one of the ranches." "Okay." "Mike, will you patrol the northern perimeter?" " Mm-hm." "MARSH:" "Same objective." "Right." "Clarence, you're gonna come with me." " Well, what about me, Dad?" " Paula, this is a lion hunt." "Hedley, will you take Paula back to the compound with you?" "Happy to." "Then we'll rejoin you right away." "Dad, Judy and I wanna help." "Well, so you shall." "There are six more cows to milk." "Look, Clarence." "Look." "Look, we're looking for a lion, Clarence." "A lion." "A lion like you." "Well, not quite like you but he's got the scent of a cow on him that he just killed you understand, hmm?" "Do you understand?" "Now, we wanna go find him." "Okay, come on, let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go." "[SQUAWKING]" "Aha." "Yeah." "He laid up here, all right, Clarence, that's a good boy." "Good boy." "Marsh to Jack." "Marsh to Jack." "Come in, Jack." "Jack, do you read me?" "Marsh to Mike." "Mike, do you read me?" "This is Marsh." "[SIGHS]" "Marsh to Hedley, Hedley, do you read me?" "Over." "Hedley." "Well, Clarence, old buddy I can't reach anybody." "Looks like it's up to you and me now." "It's by line of sight, Clarence, so now get a good bead, huh?" "Okay, old buddy." "Come on, Clarence." "Lead on." "[LION ROARS]" "[GROWLING]" "[BOTH GROWLING]" "Thank you, Judy." " Dad?" " Yes, Paula?" "What do you do when you've been a fool?" "About a man?" "You haven't been a fool, Paula." "Perhaps you've been fooled." "We'll see about that." "But you haven't been a fool." "Paula, Marsh." "How you feeling this morning?" "Well, mauled, clawed and taken in." "My sympathies." "The audacity of young Sebastian." "Now he's spreading word among the ranchers that a reserve lion killed one of his cattle." "That's true." "And that this killer lion could attack and kill any of their herds at any time." "Well, then he's doing our work for us, isn't he?" "You're being very mysterious, I must say." "Marsh?" " You ready?" "JACK:" "All ready." "Well, I had better go and try and placate the ranchers." "They're walking about with loaded rifles ready to shoot at anything that moves." "Including their own cows." " Let's go." " Dad." "This time I wanna go." "I think you should." "Jack, keep Clarence hidden until the right time." "Marsh." " Well, I see you're up and around." " Yeah, but not able to shake hands." "Well." "Invite Paula in, we'll sit around with something cool." "This isn't a social call, Nicky." "I wanna talk to you." "Privately." "You look like you're running a fever, Marsh." "You ought to be in bed." "Yes, it's been coming on ever since your accident." " When your cows escaped." " Now, just a minute." "A mean temper I can tolerate, but insinuations, now" "Accusations." "Nicky, you planned that whole inhuman demonstration just to get back a strip of land." "Marsh, I understand that the ranchers are up in arms because there's a killer lion at large." "That's right." "He's liable to strike at any ranch at any time." "So I hear, so I hear." "If the ranchers break up that reserve I'll be the first in line to reclaim that quarter." " Can I make myself more clear?" " Yes." "[GIBBERS]" "Shh, quiet, Judy, how can I hear if you keep jabbering?" "Yes, you could be more clear." "By admitting to the ranchers that you are the killer." "Me?" "You set the whole thing in motion, Nicky." "You killed your own cow by letting it go in lion country." "Now, do I get that confession?" "No, you don't, mister." "You get a suggestion." "Get off my ranch." "Daktari, you are out of your jurisdiction." "[CLARENCE GROWLS]" "Marsh." "It's a lion." "Uh-huh." "And you're between him and the cows." "Good luck." "Do something, Marsh." "I don't have a gun." "I'll give you a suggestion." "Don't run." "He'll take you in two bounds." "Lions like running game." " Use your gun, Marsh." " You just said it, I didn't." "Daktari is out of his jurisdiction." " This is no time for games." " Oh, yes, it is, Nicky." "I can get you out of this spot." "But you also can get the reserve out of trouble." "Trouble that you started." "Shoot him, Marsh." "Marsh?" "Marsh." "I'm waiting, Nicky." "Oh, good, Jack, good." "Well, I guess it's between you and your killer." "You wouldn't leave a man to the mercy of a lion." "That's Clarence." "That's gotta be Clarence." "Does it?" "Paula, pull back the tarp." "Marsh." "Marsh." "You convinced, Nicky?" "Shoot him, Marsh, shoot him." "All right, I admit it." "I admit it." "I did it." "I set up the whole thing, now kill him." "Kill him." "Kill him." "Knock him out." "Oh, I wouldn't shoot Clarence." "[PANTING]" "I wouldn't shoot any lion." "If I could help it." "That is Clarence." "It is." "For the first time since you've been in Africa..." " ...you've been right about something." " Ha." "Clarence." "Clarence." "That's a good job, boy, hmm?" "Of course, nobody heard you." "You don't have anything on me." "[CHUCKLES]" "It's your word against mine." " And Paula's." " Paula?" "Oh, well, Paula wouldn't" "Not my dear Paula." "She wouldn't" "Yes, she would." "Oh, in case you're interested, Nicky." "That lion that nearly killed me he was knocked out by my hypo-dart and he's the one in the back of the truck." "You tricked me." "That's right." "I had to." "In a way, I'm glad it worked out like this after all." "You are?" "I'm gonna sell out and go back to the Riviera." "I'm not cut out for this kind of life like you are." "You actually risked your life on that horse to save a few cows." "I can understand why my father gave you that corridor." "He didn't give it to me, Nicky." "He gave it back." "He gave it back to the animals." "After all, they were here first." "Well, thank you, dear." "Everything worked." "Yes, I'm, uh, afraid little Nicky inherited the land but not the love for it." "Maybe you should take a, um, nice long trip or buy a new hat." "Whatever it is young ladies do when they're blue." "No, I don't need anything like that, Dad." "Just Paula with the pigtails grew up a little." "Yeah." "Okay, folks, all set to take back the last load of cows." "Well, fine, Jack." "Isn't anybody gonna help me load them?" "Well, sure, uh, we're just waiting for Clarence to finish his dinner." "After all, Clarence has worked hard too, you know." "[MOOS]" "[JUDY SHRIEKS]" "[English" " US" " SDH]"
