01x07 - Rotters and Otters

[bunniefuu]

[Music]

I'm sorry let me do something I was told

I'd find a mr. Spencer here have you got

one in stock one's enough Oh over that

way I think near the lines

[Music]

the show is over or they're just waiting

for an encore fish super salmon on you

just wrote route not even a trap

very miss passer could raid the aquarium

well anyway we're not allowed to feed

them

oh it upsets their - an expert no but I

live here there's a story about a girl

who turned himself into a lotta her name

was Laura

well I'm Hillary thinking about oh and

speaking of bears that reminds me I'm

supposed to be making my way to the lion

enclosure it's that way isn't it

oh sure lead on Macduff Tiger Rag staff

magazine remember you want to put some

photographs in it upgrade its image fine

go ahead

you're the editor it'll mean more work

though you'll need some help that's me

stop photographer

Nick's a real life fallen they were

extinct

[Music]

ah Kenneth just the chap prime space

wasted well the dogs wouldn't think sir

we'd like a word about Tiger Rag mr.

Spencer what Tiger Rag foxtrots about my

limit while exhibit clouded leopards Oh

oh that might be a bit difficult mr.

Spencer they're very rare ideal for our

purposes gilt-edged draw card function C

keep the turnstiles cooking over money

in the coffers reading them all that's

the trick great tomorrow for the Cubs

twenty thousand dollars a piece

so we've read save five Cubs a year soon

have this place on its own feet

financially independent a Kenneth well

apart from anything else there's one

small snag if we could get any zoo to

park with them they'd cost between sixty

and eighty thousand dollars the Spencer

bequest I don't know where you get these

ridiculous ideas Bennett what are you

doing here looking for you

I thought you really liked not just at

the moment aren't you going to introduce

me father

[Music]

and this year I got across to

Switzerland for the skiing nice little

place if you are having such a good time

I'm surprised you left I know what you

want but there's nothing for you here

there never was not where you were

concerned not a cent Hillary not what

sorry to interrupt you both but morning

teas nearly ready

father not joining us lemon in the

mornings isn't it dear Hilary if only

you and he got on I do what I can mother

I know and he's always tied up with a

wretches ooh you realize your father has

to practically manage the place there's

so little proper recognition when all

said and done it is family money if your

grandfather hadn't made this ridiculous

bequest thought father solved that

problem

reading those clouded leopard things

making the zoo self-supporting yes but I

gather he's rather gone off the idea I

really don't see why it was so clever I

think he was put off the idea the

difficulty of getting the animals and

all that there are sooo people it's so

much easier for them to take our money

then set themselves up on their own feet

well if father is still interested in

the idea interested in stopping the zoo

from plundering our money what are you

trying to say Hilary there might just be

an alternative source a chap I know in

England that's father that you know

nothing I do is ever right it's a

splendid opportunity we can show him

otherwise nobody's ever mentioned it

before never mentioned him mrs. pencil

never stops Hilary this Hilary that my

son Hilary gasps oh gosh

ask invader we decided he must be a

proper little creep Spencer never talks

about him never they must have got it

wrong at the hospital babies I mean a

Spencer who's nice and his father can't

stand him you ever have the

documentation my enemy's enemy

it's an old problem my enemy's enemy is

my friend oh I like that one Mitch good

isn't Harry mm-hmm it's what I just said

it's my doors

but I thought you said was an old

proverb still if you say so a bit of

strife with one of the artists Mitch

okay

[Music]

it's one of our own pops that did it a

funny little bass sit there pretty as a

picture one minute I'm trying to tear

each other's heads off the next but why

would he turn on know what happens from

time to time there's no obvious reason

there you are mr. Bennet if I might have

a word if you're doing I was just having

a bit of fun I'll return it better Odell

skinnier

it's not a toy to him and it's worth a

lot of money

have you seen Peter around yeah I saw

her well where she went off with a

photographer I'm the photographer which

way

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

sorry but we couldn't find the camera

well I thought you must have forgotten

and then I bumped into Hillary in he had

all this gear with him and Nicko chap

didn't mean to take over your job you

wouldn't get to you you know what I mean

I hope I don't get paid it's voluntary

if they could give you some decent

equipment yeah have a bash with this

thanks Tim I thought I told you to cut

that out now put it back in the house go

on Tim it's a nice kit worth a fair bit

not to Tim that's just another dress up

I'm surprised your father hasn't solved

it Jeb would never do that that skins

for research not for someone's lounge

room floor

[Music]

of course we'd love to have them as a

Spencer but from a private desert quite

this one belongs to a friend of

Hillary's Sir Harry Trumpington from

he's got a breeding pair for sale they

weren't but Hillary managed to convince

him that our need is greater than his

well mr. Bennet that's that's wonderful

news mr. Spencer and he don't quite

understand why he's speaking to me and

not to your husband it was here these

are the acquisition in her for this

place he'll change his mind when he

finds out when he finds and there has

been a certain friction between Hilary

and his father for the past few years

mr. Bennet Thomas I'm afraid would have

nothing to do with a matter if he knew

that Hilary were involved and Sir Harry

has made it a condition that Hilary

actors his agent I say

now if the zoo were to pay the deposit

through Hilary but we can't mrs. Spencer

once the animals are secured my husband

will be only too happy to pay for them

I'm sorry I can't risk that

and I'm afraid that's the end of it

indeed it is not mr. Bennet

[Music]

well

I certainly don't have that kind of

money in the bank

I was helping so much for a reunion with

father it's all to be happy again

$15,000 and the money to be held in

trust by you as this Trumpington

agent yes but I'll give you a check Oh

mother no don't be ridiculous

it's perfectly obvious what must be done

my checkbooks in my handbag

[Music]

hitter a father

good morning mrs. Spencer are you

alright mrs. Spencer all right oh you

just looked a little oh just think I

didn't know you interested in dogs dogs

oh then like you creatures still they

won't be here long

Hilary has taken care of that

Hilary just the place for the clouded

leopard don't you think but we're not

getting them indeed we are

Hilary has arranged that that's

fantastic

yes he is wonderful he's so resourceful

you know he even this is strictly

between us you mustn't say anything to

anybody at all

can I fly how long have you been there

Tim this is a secret a real one if

anybody finds out what cross my heart

and hope to die you just might

[Music]

come to take a few more shots how did

you manage it minute what getting the

clouded leopards

I know what you're talking about

but really ah my master's voice sounds

actually got a tiger by the tail I

better go check

[Music]

boy it wasn't me that was one of the

Leopards I dropped the cake and flew

away nonsense boy leopards don't fly

they can turn cloud lipids can mrs.

Spencer says so and when Hillary gets up

for the zoo you can say for yourself I

[Music]

still can't help thinking there's

something wrong with what with Hillary I

asked you about the clouded leopards

Nick you did it and they said he didn't

know anything about it and why would he

do that Nick it was supposed to be a

secret

not from Hillary though Dumbo how could

it be either mrs. Spence has gone loopy

or Hillary's lying you don't like you

don't want to admit it Nick not much

you're jealous that's why don't be

ridiculous who's got all this marvelous

camera gear and takes wonderful photos

and the Tiger Rag magazine will say

photos by Hilary Spencer not by Nick

Mitchell hi bought this back thanks I'm

just doing what you say I said thanks

alerts Pelican aha

not much we can do about that is there

you'd given up that idea it's too

expensive or something weren't they

telephoned the bank it's a joint account

leopards we're not getting them how did

he find out my father whatever his other

qualities was always a pretty good

hunter he had the sixth sense to see the

ability to anticipate what the quarry

catalysts why don't you come over to our
