The Animal Page #2
I don't know whose that is.
It's pure heroin.
You're good. What's your name?
Mange.
Marvin Mange.
You'll be hearing from us.
Chief Wilson,
what happened at the airport?
The drugs were found
by the newest member on our force:
Marvin Mange.
Here to take you through the arrest
is Sergeant Doug Sisk.
Thank you, sir.
Ladies and gentlemen...
...the suspect flew in from Columbia-
I have a question for Officer Mange.
Can you smell things
in people's butts?
I guess so.
And things not in people's butts?
Like things in people's
pants pockets or wallets?
Officer Mange.
I'm from the Free Press.
What's up my butt?
Sir, I'd rather not.
Come on.
What's up there?
Car keys.
- He's good.
- Over here!
- No more questions.
- What about me?
Over here, Officer Mange, please.
Excuse me.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
I don't wanna guess
what's up your butt.
No, it's not that.
You see, I released you...
...to see if you could function
normally in society...
...but now you attract attention.
I just can't take the chance.
- What do you mean?
- I found you.
I put you back together.
Don't you remember the animals?
No!
How do you explain
your sense of smell...
...your ability to run fast,
or jump 10 feet in the air?
It's the badger milk.
I ordered it from TV.
I need you to come with me.
You're crazy.
I'm not going anywhere with you.
Sorry about the dart.
You'll find everything you need here.
Water, food...
...a place to work out.
Where am l?
You were born here. Sort of.
When I found you,
you were nearly dead...
...and the only way to save you
was my procedure:
- Radical trans-species-ectomy.
- What's that mean?
You put wild animals inside me?
I wish.
I don't have that kind of money.
The animals I used...
...were abandoned by a circus or
from the private zoo of a pop star.
There's Mr. Giggles.
He really misses the pop star.
I'm not allowed to say who.
Your life is here with me now.
Look, doc...
...l appreciate you saving me.
Thank you. I think.
But what you did with the animals
is working for me.
I'll just go on with my life.
Your human side may not
be able to control it.
I have to go.
I have to try it.
I'm sorry.
I can't allow that.
Mange!
Sit.
Listen up, sh*t stains.
I don't know how you worked
that trick out of the guy's ass.
I don't.
But I'm watching you.
The fact of the matter is,
you're not a full-fledged cop yet.
You're not. Okay?
And until you pass your 30-day
probation, you belong to me.
I'll throw you out so quick,
your head will spin.
All the best.
Don't be ashamed, son.
I've eaten out of the garbage before.
Yeah.
This baby's nailed down tight.
Not going anywhere.
One minute, okay?
I'll be back.
He was trying to get out.
You'll want to get
a cover for this.
Yeah, maybe. Come on back.
I'll show you the animals.
This is Molly.
Hey, baby.
Her parents were killed by a hunter,
and it's hard to get her to eat.
I'm worried she won't make it.
She just misses her mom, that's all.
She doesn't eat whole worms.
That was really amazing.
So? What do you think?
It's all right. He's nice.
There are a lot of animals in here.
Yeah, I know.
It's a little crowded.
I don't have the heart
to turn any away.
But it's cool.
We're like one big happy family.
This is Henry, the orangutan.
He's very affectionate.
but not other monkeys.
We have a lot of exotic birds.
Macaws and...
...my friend Cosmo's a parrot.
You are a good boy.
Parrots are one of the smartest
animals.
- Really?
- You want food?
They have the intelligence
of a 5-year-old child.
A 5-year-old?
People think parrots just mimic...
...but they have thoughts
of their own.
Some have a vocabulary
of up to 200 words.
Cosmo has about 150 words.
That's incredible.
I didn't know any of that.
Hi, there.
I get along better
with animals than people.
Animals are simple, honest.
Know what I mean?
With animals,
I feel like I'm one of them.
Easy, boy.
Do you ever feel that way?
It's crazy.
Crazy.
Calm down. What's the matter
with you guys?
Let me ask a serious question.
Do you ever have trouble with
control?
Yes.
First you have to admit
there's a problem.
You have to say,
" I am a porn addict."
Not that kind of control.
I've been having these...
- ...animal urges.
- Me too.
I got a video on the mating
rituals of the hippo.
He was trying to take my meat.
Hey, doc. Dr. Wilder.
Hey, doc!
There you go.
Tummy's all gone now.
How's my boy?
I knew you'd come home.
I'm not coming home.
Stop it!
You're not helping.
- Sorry.
- Look, doc...
...this control thing's
a lot harder than I thought.
Hold on.
This might help.
Here. Here.
I woke up in a butcher shop.
I have no idea how I got there.
Oh, I see.
The other day, I ate out of
a garbage can.
I bit someone, and then...
...l made love to a mailbox.
Your subconscious
is reverting to a primal state.
That's why I wanted you to stay here.
I was so sad when you left.
I thought we could be buddies.
I even gave you a name.
Snowball.
I already have a name.
Oh, Snowball already has a name.
Who's a good boy, then?
I'm a good boy.
I'm a-
This is serious!
I'm turning into an animal here!
All right.
Four turkeys, a dozen lamb shanks,
two salmon, my pet rabbit...
Oh, Charlie. One ham hock.
You see?
You didn't want the biscuit
because you satisfied your hunger.
Now that I have
your attention, listen.
You must anticipate your instincts...
...satisfy your animal urges
before they take over.
Hunger is your biggest challenge.
There's also your sex drive.
If you like,
I could help you with that.
That's all right.
I'm good.
Okay. No.
I gotta go.
There are a few things
bothering me here.
I don't know how you got to the
butcher shop break-in...
...but let me guarantee you this.
You better not try to show me up
with any of your super-cop bullshit.
Not at all, sir.
You got one week of probation left.
And I'm gonna be all over you.
Say hello to your new partner.
What's all that sh*t?
Supplies.
I want to be prepared for anything.
Of course you do.
Hey, pigs.
Get the hell out of here.
It's our neighbourhood.
You're just a regular badass.
- When did you notice it was missing?
- This morning, about 5:30.
I parked the tractor right here.
Now it's gone.
- Is that your goat?
- Yeah, that's Nellie.
- She's in heat, huh?
- Yeah.
That's why I got her separated from
the other animals. They can't resist.
Makes sense.
- Makes a lot of sense.
- Mange, shut up.
- These tracks are still fresh?
- They are.
Where were your farm hands
during the crime?
something over here.
How's it going?
My name's Marvin.
You got it going on.
Have you noticed anything
abnormal in the area?
All right now, Marvin.
Control, Marvin.
Control.
Oh, sweetie. Yes.
