Hey, no, I've

covered long enough.

Do you know that she once fed

one of my protein bars

to a Komodo dragon?

And back in--

wherever land that was--

she rode a Siberian tiger.

Oh, oh, and ask her

about the time

that she was dancing with

a bunch of crazy dingoes.

What?

Oh, that is not even

the half of it, Mom.

Eliza?

Thanks a lot, Deb.

Nigel, I...

I don't know what to do.

Well, I do!

It is perfectly obvious

that Elizabeth has no regard

for her own safety.

We have discussed

this for years.

She needs to be

in a structured environment.

One such as a boarding school

back in London.

Oh, hold on!

She messes up, and she

gets to go to boarding school?!

Mumsy...

that's rather drastic.

Nigel, need I remind you

that it was in the confines

of boarding school

that you received

your education

not here in the wild.

Surely you don't think

it's civilized

for a girl to play

with cheetahs and chimpanzees?

Hello?!

What about me?!

Do I look civilized?

Frankly, no

but I'm afraid it's

much too late for you.

Mom, Dad, I can't leave.

Tally never would have

been out on the plains

if it wasn't for me.

It's all my fault.

Eliza, how can it

be your fault?

But I have to go

back out there!

No!

We make these rules

for a reason, Eliza.

And if I have to send you

away to be safe, I will.

Dad? Please...

Poppet, your

intentions are noble

but you're just too young.

I'm sorry.

We agreed when we took this job

that we wouldn't

split up the family.

We'd keep the children with us

on the road.

I remember, dearest.

Oh, Nigel, are we doing

the right thing?

You heard Eliza.

She blames herself

for this unfortunate incident.

She'll never stop

until she finds that cub.

She's quite

fearless, you know.

She takes after her father.

That poor girl.

Mm...

Boarding school?

I never heard of anything

so ridiculous.

Did anyone bother

to ask my opinion?

Sometimes I wish I could just

tell them I talk to animals.

No!

Then you'll lose your power

and we'll never be able

to talk again.

How will I know what

Debbie's saying about me?

Calm down, I won't

break the rule.

I promised Shaman Mnyambo.

Good.

Now about this boarding school.

You don't think they'll make me

take gym class, do you?

Because those tight shorts

show off my problem area.

Uh, Dar...

you can't come with me.

Darwin, come back.

Whatever is the matter

with Darwin?

He saw me pack my suitcase.

I guess he figured out

I'm leaving.

Very intuitive, that chimp.

I'm sorry about all this, Dad.

Well, I'm not sure

I wouldn't have done

the same thing, poppet.

In fact, I went up

against poachers myself once

to save an elephant, remember?

I remember.
