Ace Ventura Jr: Pet Detective Page #4

---

- Too much information.

- Well, Ace, I haven't seen y ou since y ou were a baby.

What are y ou now? 84?

- Grandpa, I'm 12.

- Right. Dog y ears.

I'll bety ou're helping animals by now,

aren'ty ou?

Come on,

show me y our office.

Come on, Sparky.

Come on, Sparky. Here we go.

Attaboy.

So, these are the animals

y ou're try ing to find, huh?

Well, I was,

but then Mom said itwas too dangerous.

Re-he-eally?

(Laura) Hi, Ace.

- You obsess much?

- What? About Laura? No, not really.

Sometimes.

May be. Yeah, I do.

- Hey, Grandpa, can I ask y ou a question?

- Sure thing.

Whatwas my dad like?

Well, what did y our mom

tell y ou about him?

Nothing. She say s that he disappeared

on a business trip when I was a baby

and that I'm too y oung

to know the rest.

Yeah, well, y our mom's got good reasons

why she doesn'twant to talk about him.

But can I ask y ou this?

Have y ou everwondered

why y ou keep looking forlost animals?

- Because...

- Because why?

- I don't know.

- Because y ou're a Ventura!

AVentura.

Now, although it took along time

for our ancestors to develop a kinship

with the animal world,

eventually,

we won them over.

Even the carnivores.

Down through history,

the Venturaline continued,

including Charles Ventura Darwin.

You knowwho he was, don'ty ou?

He was the evolution guy, right?

Survival of the least

loo-hoo-hoo-oser-est.

Did y ou know

a Ventura would never harm an animal?

One of y our ancestors, the greatAntarctic explorer

Sir ErnestVentura Shackleton.

Although he and his crewwere starving to death,

they would not eat a penguin.

Jacques Ventura Cousteau,

who invented the scuba suit

so thatfinally

man could commune with his watery brethren.

Itfitlike a glove.

So, y ou see, Ace Jr.,

the Venturaline has along and storied career

of animal advocacy,

communion

and search and rescue.

Well, was my dad

like the other Venturas?

I've probably said too much already,

buty our mom was in trouble

and I thoughty ou needed to know.

So, whaty ou're say ing is

that I should go out and try to find Ting Tang?

I'm not say ing any thing.

I'm just say ing.

Say ing what?

Your Y chromosome

has the Ventura mutation.

You're one of us.

- Come on, Sparky.

- Um... Grandpa, I'm...

I'm pretty sure he's dead.

He's not dead.

He's sleeping.

Come on.

Did y ou hearwhat he said? My goodness.

My goodness!

(grunting)

Hey, if I say over the wall, it's over the wall.

Don't be a maverick. Let's go.

Aaaargh!

Jeez! I didn't know

the lunch lady had a nightjob.

(Hollander) "Russell Hollander,

NBFW CSl:
Orlando."

I like the way that sounds.

I left no stone unturned, no clue undiscovered.
