ANNOUNCER ON RADIO: Tropical
storm warnings are now in effect
for all of
the Gulf Coast.
We're looking at a strong Category
and get ready
for a wild ride.
Folks, there are emergency
shelters being set up in King County
and Scarborough County.

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)
Howie!
Johnny Gavineau.
You got the permit?
Yes, I do.
(CLANKING)
This is against
my better judgment.
(SIGHS)
Okay. Let's get to it.
JOHNNY:
Yeah, I gottaget back to the coast.
(CLEARING THROAT)
There's a hurricane coming.
(CLEARING THROAT)
I got property there. I gotta
(GROWLING)
Never touch the cage.
Was he trained?
Trained how? Jump
through a hoop on fire?
He can do that?
No.
Well, does he just sit
there and look pretty?
I thought he
was a circus cat.
Circus don't want him.
(TIGER ROARS)
Look, I'm starting
a safari ranch.
This is my
main attraction.
I need, you know,
a scary animal.
Scary?
Yeah. That's what
the tourists pay to see.
I don't think this
cat's scary enough.
I'm not paying top dollar for an
animal that doesn't scare anyone
and doesn't know
any tricks.
Now, maybe if
I'm paying less,
say, $5,000 less...
Mr. Gavineau, the only
reason we are talking
while 300 of
your tourists
ran screaming
for their lives.
Chased her down,
did he?
Went 16 feet over a cage.
Passed 11 other horses
just to get to this one.
Silver Dollar
was her name.
He broke her spine
so that she couldn't move,
and then
he ate her alive.
You ever heard a horse
scream, Mr. Gavineau?
You want to know why
he went after that one?
Because
she was the pretty one.
And you're right,
Mr. Gavineau.
This cat,
he's not scary.
He's evil.
(BANGS CAGE)
(LAUGHING NERVOUSLY)
This is a waste of time
and my gas money.
I'll take it!
Plus your expenses.
Cat hasn't eaten
in two weeks.
That's how you show him
who's boss.
And when you move him, you
roll the cage with this.
(TRUCK DOOR OPENS)
Safari park, huh?
Well, good luck
with that.
(TRUCK DOOR CLOSES)
(TRUCK STARTING)
Good luck with that.
Man makes his own luck!
Isn't that right,
Lucifer?
(TIGER GROWLS)
Tom, you there?
(FEEDBACK ON WALKIE-TALKIE)
Tom.
Tom, come on.
Remember? I told you they
have fish here. You love fish.
They have all... Come look
at this. Come look at this.
See, look. Come here.
They have yellow fish.
Blue fish, purple fish.
I think they even
have clown fish.
Tom, come on. You're
gonna be happy here.
Mom would have loved
this place. Okay?
It took me
a long time to find it.
I know you understand.
This is your home now. You
cannot come to college with me.
Hey.
Please do not
screw this up.
(DOCTOR CLEARING THROAT)
DOCTOR:
So, you've beenliving with your stepfather,
but you've
taken care of Tom
since your mother
passed away.
And after college,
will you once again
be taking on Tom's care?
Yes.
No red.
That depends on,
of course,
what's best for Tom
at that point.
I have custodianship, so I
will be checking in on him.
Sorry,
he does not like red.
Well, then let's
get things settled.
Tom, would you like to
say goodbye to your sister?
So, I'm gonna take off.
I'll see you in a couple
of weeks, all right?
(YELLING) No! No touch!
No! No, no!
No!
I'm so sorry.
(CONTINUES YELLING)
I've got...
I got his stuff out.
He likes this...
