to leave the comforts of the office,

so the only wildlife

I usually end up seeing is...

Nice.

- [LAUGHTER]

- Yours is pretty good.

- Spyder.

- I try.

Um... sorry, I'm...

Not a problem.

- Tell Gibbons hi.

- Sure.

You wanna give it a try.

Yeah, I've never skied.

Maybe after

we can get some lunch.

Emmy?

- I'm busy.

- No, you're not.

- Hey we're...

- Not anymore.

- Say goodbye to your friend.

- Hey!

What're you doing?

- You don't know him.

- So?

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Hey, can you slow down?

We're almost there.

I thought you said

this was gonna be fun.

This is fun.

Yeah, right.

[GROWLING]

Did you see that?

Uh-uh.

What?

I don't know.

Kenny?

Kenny?

[SCREAMS]

[CRUNCHING]

So how were you planning

on get back to the cabin?

I don't know.

Big planner, aren't you?

I doubt my dad

would have even noticed.

Yeah.

He would've noticed the minute

he stepped in the cabin.

And that's assuming

he's not there already.

So what is it

about the animals...

that make you guys

come up here every year?

The lynx?

They're a threatened species

in the US.

But they seem to do okay

out here, though.

So...

why study them?

Well, we can learn a lot

from them,

from nature.

Okay, well,

take how they hunt for example.

They sometimes sneak upon their

prey within a couple bounds...

and then they pounce.

They get that close and the prey

doesn't even realize it...

until it's too late.

What? So we can learn

how to be sneaky from them?

Survival.

You know, a predator

is completely silent.

You'd think they

roar before an attack,

but they don't.

No, they wait.

And then they get close.

And then they kill.

No warning,

just efficient meal time.

That's gross.

And I'm pretty sure he makes a noise

or something before he...

pounces, or... whatever.

Oh really?

Well, when was the last time

you were hunted?

I'm just saying.

Well, what you might hear

is the blood rushing...

through your own head.

Something the fear triggers

when you see a predator.

Where'd you go?

Ah. She was bored, so she tagged

along with me to the store and back.

Really?

Yeah, sorry. I...

I didn't think you'd mind.

I don't mind at all. Just next time

you leave this cabin you let me know.

Thanks.

I'd say 'anytime' but I... I don't think

you should do that again.

Yeah.

- You weren't kidding.

- No I was not.

Please save us

from a repeat tomorrow.

[CHUCKLES]

You got it.

Anyone want dessert?

Uh... no.

I got them at the store.

- Okay, I'll have one.

- Yeah, I'll have one.

Thanks for dinner Marci.

Stop being polite.

Hey, it wasn't

my favourite meal,

but it's better

than starving.

Not by much.

Thank you.

No offence.
