"[JUDY GIBBERS]" "[JUDY GIBBERS]" "[ROARS]" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "[ROARS]" "PAULA:" "Another scorcher." "Hey, how can you generate so much energy in this heat?" "Ah, it's not so hard." "Just play it cool." "Always cool." "Ah, how's Toto doing today?" "Oh, keeping cool and happy." "Where you going?" "I'm gonna take him back home." "Yeah, how about that little fella?" "Two weeks ago, that was a sick giraffe." "Today, he's all recovered thanks to the loving care of Jack Dane." "All I have to do to complete my animal reject study is to get him back to the loving bosom of his family." "So they can trace him down." "But do you think they'll take him back?" "After all, they kicked him out because of his hurt leg." "Yeah, I know." "I have to find that out." "His leg's all better though." " He's up to snuff." "I think they will." " Shouldn't you wait for Dad?" "I'd like to, Paula, but he's been gone for two days on this drought study." "I don't know, it may be some time before he gets back." "No, I better get him back now." "Make sure that he gets back to his family before the rains come and they scatter." "I don't think you should go." "You just got over a virus infection." "Dad wants you to take it easy." "Don't give me this Florence Nightingale business." "I'm perfectly healthy, and I'll only be gone for a couple of hours." "Boy, look at that sky." "Not a drop of rain in sight." "Not even the compound animals are moving." "[ROARS]" "[BRAYS]" "Well, I better get moving." "Hey, Judy, bring Stretch." "[JUDY GIBBERS]" "How about a glass of lemonade before you go?" "Now, look, during times of drought you're supposed to keep liquid intake minimal." "Besides, you're wasting valuable water." "Would you believe I made it last week?" "I'll bet." "Why, thank you, Judy." "Come on, Stretch." "Tie him to the truck, Paula." "I wanna get this saddle off." "After all, we can't send you back to your family with this thing on, can we?" "Get the feeling they'd never understand." "That's it, baby." "Come on, Judy, hop in." "Oh, no, you don't." "You're not taking Judy." "I most certainly am." "She's my buddy." "Besides, she's a lot more fun than a lot of people I know." "A wisecrack like that, you deserve each other." "Some people don't know when to come out of the sun." "What time are you bringing Judy back?" "That, my dear young lady, depends upon Stretch's family." "And remember my advice." " Play it cool." " Ow." "[CAR ENGINE STARTS]" "Calling Wameru Compound." "Calling Wameru Compound." "[OVER WALKIE-TALKIE] Come in, please." "Wameru Compound." "Dad, where are you?" "Are you all right?" "Besides being a little thirstier than usual which I gather you're not, I'm fine." "Why?" "What's all the concern?" "You've been gone a couple days with this drought." " How does it look out there?" " Hot and horrible, like a frying pan." "There's not a water hole left in this entire area." "Now, listen, tell Jack he's gonna have to forego the pleasure of proving his point in his animal reject study." "He's already left." "He wanted to see if the herd would take Stretch back." "Get him on the radio and tell him to forget the giraffe and get back." "Tell Mike to put everybody on emergency water ration." "This is serious." " All right, Dad." " And, Paula..." "[ICE CUBES CLATTER] ...water rations include lemonade." "Yes, Dad, I'm sorry." "Hurry back." "Ah, sure thing." "Out." "[EAGLE SCREAMING]" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "It's okay, Judy." "We'll just let it cool for a while and then put in some more water." "See, Stretch isn't worried." "Hey, give me those." "[ENGINE REVS]" "Boy, it's hot." "Hey, Judy, get me my hat, huh?" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Hey, this is no time for horsing around." "Come on, bring that thing here." "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Ah, we're miles past where I thought we'd find Stretch's family and still no sight of them." "Here, have some water." "That doesn't mean that we're gonna take Stretch back home with us." "All it does mean is that because of this drought the herd migrated a little bit further to look for water." "And since we have plenty of same we'll just keep looking for a while." "Hey, just a darn minute, young lady." "Haven't you ever heard, "Waste not, want not"?" "Come on." "Into the jeep." "Get in there." "[EXHALES]" "Here, drink hearty, Stretch." "It's on the house." "Well, that's all there is." "There isn't any more." "[ENGINE REVS]" "Wameru Compound calling." "Wameru Compound calling." "Jack, do you read me?" "Over." "Wameru Compound calling." "Jack, come in, come in." "Maybe I'll get better reception out in the open." "Wameru Compound calling." "Jack, do you read me?" "Over." "Mike, I don't understand it." "Didn't he say that herd was only 10 miles from here?" "Yes, but after your report, it's safe to guess they moved further looking for water." "That's why we can't raise him." " There's nothing to worry about." " I am worried." "I'm worried about Jack and about the animals." "Animals adapt better to heat than humans." "Look." "Look at Clarence, for example." "He's just zonked out." "[GROWLS]" "Daktari, Jack had two full bags of water." "And since he drinks so little, it'll last a week." "Yes, but he's got Judy and Stretch with him." "True." "So it will last only six days." " Jack knows how to take care of himself." " Oh, I don't know." "Going out on a trip after a bout with the flu." "You know how long those low-grade infections hang on." "Did he take food with him?" "No." "He figured he'd be back in a few hours." "Well, he didn't know how bad it is out there." "Mike, this drought is a killer." "I mean, no man can survive without water." "[JUDY GIBBERS]" "Ah, look at those poor animals." "Probably rejects from different herds just like Stretch." "Water hole's as dry as a bone." "I can't leave them here like this." "But I certainly can't take them back to the compound." "Hedley would say, "It's a sticky wicket."" "Well, Stretch is our mission for today, so we move on." "[GIBBERS]" "Yeah, I know." "They'll die without water." "Okay." "How's it going, old fella?" "Whoa." "Okay, Judy." "I think to be on the safe side we'll fill up this canteen, huh?" "Hold it, huh?" "No." "Okay, you stay right here in the shade, ah." "[GIBBERING]" "[CHITTERS]" "Well, they'll come back for the water as soon as we leave." "Uh-uh, young lady." "Now, just put it in the back where it won't tempt you." "We need every drop of that we can get." "Believe me, if we don't catch up with that giraffe herd pretty soon you'll be very happy to have a full canteen of water." "[CAR ENGINE STARTS]" "I think we found them." "Ah-ha, there they are." "Yeah, just leave it to a herd of giraffe to find the only vegetation left in the whole area." "What do you think, Stretch?" "Will they be as happy to see you as I am to see them?" "[HORN HONKS]" "Shh, I don't wanna spook that herd." "As a matter of fact, I think we better leave the truck here and hoof it." "Bring the canteen, Judy." "Come on, old buddy." "You're going home." "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Don't be afraid." "Don't be afraid." "You're all well now." "You're gonna go back to your family." "Huh?" "Go on." "Hey, look, they've accepted him." "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Wait till certain skeptics hear about this." "No, no." "Not now, Judy." "Still a long way from home." "Besides, I wanna make sure that this little reunion is permanent." "Yeah." "Okay, let's go, Jude." "Okay, if you're all that thirsty." "What did you do?" "The last of the water." "Didn't I tell you not to sneak any drinks?" "Oh, what do you mean, no?" "If you didn't drink it, where did it go?" "I guess my theory of minimal liquid intake during drought is gonna get a test for a couple of hours." "I'm sorry, Judy." "I guess if you're that thirsty, you didn't drink any of it." "Huh, I would have to leave the jeep so far behind." "Unh, well, let's make tracks." "MAN [OVER RADIO]:" "And we see no possibility of any relief in the immediate future." "As for the national situation" "What was the report?" "Good news?" "No." "Couldn't be worse." "No, they're now calling it the greatest drought in 50 years." "No rain in the immediate future." "Great concern over the animal population." "Mike, I'm worried." "For once, not about the animals, am I correct?" "Jack should've called in a long time ago." "No excuse." "Maybe he wanted to tell us of his triumph in person." "Remember when he first brought the giraffe." "You told him you doubted the herd would take him back." "That's why" "All right, all right." "You don't have to remind me of that." "Hey, Dad, I've been studying this map and if the water holes are dried up" "I mean, from where the herd was last spotted to Lake Setu will they make it?" "Well, the stronger ones will but the weaker ones will probably drop out." "Sometimes just plain old stubborn instinct will push them on." "Are you talking about the animals or Jack and Judy?" "You are worried." "I mean you-- You're really worried, aren't you, Dad?" "Frankly, yes." "And if they're not back by the first thing in the morning, we're going after them." "Well, is there anything I can do to help?" "Besides worry." "[SIGHS]" "Well, yes, as a matter of fact, um you might exercise that lazy excuse for a pet we have out there." "Well, at least someone around here isn't losing any sleep over Jack and Judy." "[MARSH CHUCKLES]" "If he started from here he could have easily gotten this far in one day." "MIKE:" "Mm-hm." "Oh, would some of Paula's lemonade taste good now." "[ENGINE STARTS AND SPUTTERS]" "Stay here, Judy." "[ENGINE SPUTTERING]" "[SHRIEKS]" "Great." "A popped hose and nothing to fix it with." "And no water." "Maybe there's some left in the radiator." "Judy, bring the canteen." "[JUDY GIBBERS]" "Oh, it's bone dry." "Well, no sense crying over spilled water." "[JACK GRUNTS]" "Well, we are up the creek without a paddle." "Heh, without a creek." "Ah, don't worry." "Help is just as far as our trusty walkie-talkie." "[SIGHS]" "Jack Dane here." "Come in, Wameru." "Come in, Wameru." "[STATIC]" "Hey, this is Jack "Thirsty" Dane." "If you drinkers would stop guzzling that lemonade and give me an answer I'd consider it a very nice compliment." "You don't suppose we could be out of range, do you, Judy?" "No, of course not." "It's just that I have such a sterling reputation in the bush that nobody is even concerned enough to keep the radio on, right?" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Hey, don't you worry about it." "We've had a pretty lucky day so far, you know?" "Just take those giraffes out there." "They're in the same predicament we are, but they don't seem to be worried." "And they are not blessed with the cunning of a superior brain." "Oh, excuse me." "Two superior brains." "Well, Lake Setu should be around here someplace." "Oh, charming." "The whole map looks like one big lake." "Ahh, I know how we'll find it." "And when we get there, we'll fill up these water bags." "I think they'll hold enough to keep us happy till we get found." "And then we ride home in style." "Come on, young lady." "[GIBBERING]" "No, no, Judy, not the compound." "We'll never make it." "We're gonna follow that herd." "After all, they're as thirsty as we are and they don't need a map to find the lake." "Oh, come on, Judy." "Hey, we're gonna make it." "I promise you." "And, you know, we might even score a scientific first in the process if we can find out how a herd really does find water whether it's the male or the female who leads them to it." "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if it turned out to be old Stretch, huh?" "Wouldn't it?" "Come on, baby." "Let's go." "Well, come on, Clarence." "We may need you later." "[CLARENCE GROWLS]" "In you go, come on." "All right, get in there, boy." "Dad." "Dad." "I found Jack's notes." "Here, this is where he first found Stretch." " I'm sure that's where he was going." " Well, it's a start." " You call Hedley?" " Yes, he's alerted his men but that search plane won't be available for two days." "We'll just have to find him ourselves then." " Stay here in case Jack calls in, right?" " How come the two cars?" "We, uh, might have to widen the search in case we split up." " You will find him, won't you?" " Don't worry, we'll find him." "[CAR ENGINE STARTS]" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Good morning, Judy, ah." "Ah, yeah, I know, you're hungry and thirsty." "[ELEPHANTS TRUMPET]" "Me too." "So are those elephants, I bet." "[YAWNS]" "Poor babies don't stand a chance, ah." "Well, uh, we better move." "It's gonna get worse as the sun gets stronger, ah." "[SIGHS THEN YAWNS]" "Little dizzy." "Maybe Paula was right." "That virus took more out of me than I thought." "Well, we better move." "They're tired and thirsty too, and if they can move unh, we can." "From the casual way that herd is acting I think we're pretty close to water, ah." "Come on." "[MIKE SIGHS]" "Jack was here, all right." "Yeah, it looks like he spread the tarp to give some animals a drink of water." "I hope he didn't use all his water." "I better check back with Paula." "See if she's heard from Jack." " Gonna tell her about the tarp?" " No." "No sense in worrying her." "Calling Wameru Compound." "[OVER WALKIE-TALKIE] Calling Wameru Compound." "Calling Wameru Compound." "Paula, come in." "Calling Wameru Compound." "Paula, come in." "Yes, Dad." "Did you find Jack?" "No, not yet, but he's left us a pretty good trail to follow." " We'll catch up to him before long." " Is there anything I can do, Dad?" "Yeah, just sit tight and tell Jack to contact us by radio if you should hear from him." "Out." " The tracks go straight ahead." " All right." "[ENGINE STARTS]" "[SIGHS]" "Ah, herds are getting together." "That's a good sign." "[SIGHS]" "Come on, Judy." "[GIBBERS]" "You're exhausted, aren't you, baby?" "Ah, here, maybe we can work out something to cover up your head." "It's not gonna be the latest style, but it should reflect some of the sun." "There." "Just one more knot." "Ah, we've got it." "[GRUNTS]" "There, now you just sit here and rest." "I'll see if I can get some berries." "[SIGHS]" "Berries, heh." "Fat chance." "Those rocks." "A spring." "Argh." "Oh, no, no." "Don't look." "We gotta follow that herd." "Plenty of gas." "No water." "Radiator hose burst." " Daktari, Stretch's halter." "MARSH:" "Huh?" "This must be where he released him to join the giraffe herd." "But if the truck is here, where are Jack and Judy?" "You think they're out there on foot with no water?" "I'm afraid so." "But I doubt they could've gone far." "Jack, this is Marsh, do you hear me?" "Jack, come in." "[STATIC]" "Listen, we know you're on the other end." "We can hear your static." "Tell us where in the blazes you are." "MIKE [OVER WALKIE-TALKIE]:" "Right here, Marsh." "Sorry." "He left it in the truck." "If he left his walkie-talkie, the water's around here somewhere." "It's so dry, his footprints barely left an impression." "Strange, he's headed away from the compound." "He must've decided to follow the herds." "Sure, that's it." "Lake Setu is only a few miles from here." "That's never dry." "Let's hurry up and fix this thing in case we miss him." "He'll have water and transportation home." "I'll use some tapes from the kit to bind the hose." "That's a good idea." "I wonder why Jack didn't do that." "I don't see any first aid kit here, do you?" "No." "[ROARS]" "I'll let Clarence out and give him some water." "[GIBBERS]" "[BREATHING HEAVILY]" "[IN A RASPY VOICE] Why is the herd going so slowly?" "If they were near water, they wouldn't be going so slowly." "[ANIMALS GROANING]" "Come on, Judy." "[GIBBERS]" "Judy." "[SIGHS]" "I know, baby." "I know." "But you can't stay here." "Come on." "I'll carry you." "[VULTURES SQUAWKING]" "But, Dad, if you found Jack's jeep, why isn't he there?" "MARSH [OVER WALKIE-TALKIE]:" "He's traveling on foot." "Which means he can't be far away." "I'll let you know as soon as we find him." "Out." "Daktari, you really think we'll find him soon?" "I don't know, Mike." "If Jack were really thinking he would've stayed right here in the shade." "If the fever caught up with him again he could be wandering around out there in circles." "[SIGHS]" "It stopped." "Found the water." "That's why they stopped." "[PANTING]" "We made it, Judy." "We made it." "Lake." "Come on, Judy." "[GIBBERING]" "Here, baby." "Have one on me." "[GIBBERING]" "[VULTURES SQUAWKING]" "See anything?" "Take a look." "That's strange." "Why aren't they moving?" "There's no water out there." "Don't understand it." "They should be dying of thirst, yet they stopped this close to Lake Setu." " Where is Lake Setu?" "Isn't it here?" " Yeah, we should be right on top of it." "[CLARENCE ROARING]" "What's up with Clarence?" "Found something." "Look at him go." "He's found the lake." "Or maybe both." "[ENGINE STARTS]" "MARSH:" "Mike, bring the first aid kit and water." " Is he alive?" " Yes, but he's badly dehydrated." " He needs some shade." " How about the truck?" "No, I don't wanna move him." "Get a tarp." "We'll build a lean-to right over him." "MIKE:" "Ah-huh." "MIKE:" "Hey, Judy, come here." "MARSH:" "Well, he's got more stamina than I gave him credit for." "It was close, Mike." "Awful close." "How's Judy?" "She's okay." "She must come from some pretty hardy stock." "There we go." "Move, Judy." "Come on, back up." "And easy does it." "[MIKE AND MARSH GRUNTING]" "MARSH:" "All right." "What about them?" "With the lake dried up, what will they do?" "Wameru's about five miles from here." "Just have to herd them to it." "Crazy idea, daktari." "It'll never work." "[MIKE PANTS]" "I don't know who's suffering from delirium, Jack or you." "Got a better idea, or do you wanna come back and pick up the hides?" "Well, we try, of course." "But those animals must be half dead." "Where will they get the strength?" "If we get them off in the right direction instinct for survival will do the rest." "Two cars cannot do the job." "They'll scatter in all directions." "We'll just have to make two cars do the job." "Start them off northeast towards the river." "They don't scatter, we got a chance." "Right." "Give me a hand with this, will you, Marsh?" "Yeah." "Now, remember, walkie-talkie's on at all times." "Don't forget, several hundred scared, frightened animals can be dangerous." "[MIKE GRUNTS]" "What about Jack?" "He's all right." "I'm gonna leave Clarence here to guard him and Judy." "Right now, all he needs is a lot of sleep." "Ah, right." "Well, I guess we better start making like cowboys and head for the last roundup." "MARSH:" "Right." "[CAR ENGINES START]" "Mike, I'll turn them in, you pick them up." "Mike, they're breaking off in your direction." " Keep ahead of you." " I'll try, daktari, I'll try." "[GROANS THEN PANTS]" "What the--?" "[BREATHING HEAVILY]" "I get it." "They're chasing the animals to the water." "Crazy African cowpokes." "They're gonna make it." "Judy, they're gonna make it." "[BIRD CAWING]" "[ELEPHANTS TRUMPET]" " That's quite a sight, fellas, isn't it?" "MIKE:" "Heh." "Hey, Marsh, did you notice which animal got to the water first?" "Uh, yeah." "It was a hippo, wasn't it?" "No, daktari, it was a wildebeest." "On second thought, it was an impala." "No, I'm afraid, um...." "Afraid it was that animal over there." "One that's off to the right." "One that's standing back to let elephants drink first." "Yeah, I get it." "Yes, sir." "He certainly is a gentleman." "Uh-huh." "Which is strange considering Jack spent so much time with him." " Yeah, yeah, you're right." " Funny." "Funny." "[ALL CHUCKLE]" "[English" " US" " SDH]"
