Napoleon and Samantha Page #2

---

Old friends should never be separated.

You can't take him with you?

No.

[Napoleon] What are you

gonna do with him?

I am searching for a happy place.

Where his majesty will be

treated like his majesty.

You tried a zoo?

I have, I have.

They have been very kind

and helpful, but...

they cannot find a place for

an old milk-drinking lion.

An old veteran ofjoy.

Hey, my grandpa used to be

a lion trainer.

That was a long time ago.

Did you work in the circus?

No. He trained lions for

the Emperor of Ethiopia.

That was quite a long time ago,

Napoleon.

My dear friends...

My beloved friends.

The Major is yours.

You mean that...

you're giving him to us?

Not I, but fate.

Oh, no. None of that.

We can't have a lion in our home.

[Napoleon] Why not?

Because he's a wild animal.

Thas why not.

He doesn't look very wild to me.

Besides, you said

you were a lion trainer.

We can't have him.

He's too expensive.

We wouldn't be able to feed him.

He must eat like a...

No, no. Not Major.

He just drinks milk.

He has bad teeth.

Please!

No. We haven't got any place

to keep a lion.

Yeah, we have. We have a cage.

Cage?

Gonna take at least

a dozen quarts of milk

to keep this boy going

forjust one day.

Don't worry, Grandpa.

I'm going to save all my pocket money.

Just to buy milk.

Hold on, now. He isn't too

well-acquainted with us yet.

He might be a little feisty

in the mornings.

Oh, Grandpa.

He knows us.

He's part of our family now.

Here you are.

Look at him, Grandpa.

I am looking.

And I see a dozen quarts of milk.

What he's going to need

is a whole cow.

- [Clucking]

- [Seth] Oh. Well.

One thing at least.

He started the hens back to laying.

Uh, uh!

Oh, Grandpa. Golly.

Well, I declare.

- Bye, Grandpa.

- You're off to school?

Don't dawdle on the way.

I don't want that teacher

complaining about you again.

Bye, Major. Have a nice day.

See you when I come home.

- You'll watch him for me?

- Of course I will.

- And you remember what I told you.

- I will.

Don't gossip about him.

The authorities hear about him,

they'll take him away. Darn busybodies.

Yeah.

Bye, Grandpa.

Drop this off in the post

on your way, will you?

- Where's it going?

- New York.

Oh, yeah. Goodbye.

Yeah.

Thas right.

A couple of old timers, you and me.

- Les go see Charley.

- No, I gotta go home.

- Well, why?

- I just gotta. Thas why.

Want to come over to my house

and play?

- No.

- Can I come to yours?

No!

I'm sorry.

- Now, can you keep a secret?

- You know I can.

- Then come on.

- Am I supposed to guess, or what?

You're not supposed to do anything.

You see it when you see it.

Is a real live lion!
