Fierce Creatures Page #2

Why have you all gone quiet?

Are you trying to tell me

that coati is fierce?

Please! This is a wild animal.

It's not domesticated.

You take a liberty with one of these

things, they give you a very nasty nip.

A safety pin would give me a nasty nip.

I'll tell you what's fierce.

Fierce is biting the whole hand off.

- The whole hand?

- Thank you.

It is all right

if it wrenches the hand off?

Oh, yes, fine.

Lotterby, could I have

a word with you, please?

- These are your meerkats, correct?

- Don't do that, please, sir.

- They go straight for the throat.

- This new plaque of yours...

says that they're known as

''The Piranhas of the Desert.''

Is that right?

They can strip a human

carcass in three minutes.

My encyclopedia says they're

easily tamed and often kept as pets.

You've not been attacked

by one, sir.

Nobody's been attacked

by one, Lotterby...

or, rather, if they have,

they never noticed.

Now, these Patagonian maras of yours...

devastate entire

Argentinian villages, do they?

They completely wipe 'em out, sir.

Shocking to watch.

It says here they eat grass.

That's for hors d'oeuvres, sir.

When their blood's up--

Lotterby, you are trying

to deceive me into thinking...

- some of your animals are fierce...

- I'm talkin' about the rogue ones, sir.

when they are, in fact, loveable, cuddly

and surplus to requirements.

You want ever animal here a psycho?

Exactly. I want

a lethal weapon in every cage.

- So what do we do with all the others?

- Simple. Get rid of'em.

- Willa, can I ask you a question?

- Sure.

- Are those breasts real?

- Yes.

You know, Willa, you better be careful

dressed like that around here.

People will think you're

sleeping your way to the top.

Just as long as they don't think

I'm sleeping my way to the middle.

What are you doing?

I'm going to ask your father

if I can go run the zoo.

What?

You want to go to the Third World

and operate an animal toilet?

Animals, paper clips, television

companies. It's all business.

Willa, these things smell.

With enough zoos up and running,

we are talking billions.

Wow! How about dinner tonight?

You can wear your office clothes.

No, I have to get up early.

I'm pitching it to Rod in the morning.

- What's the hurry?

- I don't want to give our ruthless...

little Chinese friend

time to make an impact.

I dare say they are upset,

Di, but I have a job to do.

- Yes, I know, but I--

- Look, I have to be hard-nosed, okay?

McCain demands it. All the time,

you've got to be tough, tough, tough.

God knows why.

You mean Octopus is ruled by fear?

No, no. Terror.

I've got this one chance to show that

I can run something or I'm out...
