Nibble the powdery cinnamon bliss.

No! Your path ends in death!

(baby cries)

(baby giggles)

(people gasp)

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 alway s serious, Mom.

- And do y ou knowwhy?

- Because y ou're not gonnalose me like y ou 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.

Fine. Here.

Nowy ou're late for school.

Let's go.

- Hey, what's that?

- Ace!

nextweek. Now...

I know. I promise.

No try ing to find missing pets

or helping animals or any thing.

Yeah. I woke up this morning

and my pet rabbit Mimzy was totally gone.

Rabbit. Mimzy. Lost!

We're emotional wrecks about it.

I will be normal.

Sorry, old friend.

(Ox growls)

Oh, y ou 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.

- (shoutss) Oh, my God, y ou're pretty!

- (Ox whimpers)

Um...

Your koi fish.

Yeah, she sure is.

Much like a grunion.

Stand aside, ma'am.

Clues don'tfind themselves, y ou know.

Oxnard, while I'm y oung?

Crime scene is secure.

No sign of forced entries.

Initial suspects include the scuba man

and the treasure chest.

Rememberwhen I brought her into school
