but enough about me.

Did anyone try

the boiled cabbage?

Oh, I can't get

enough boiled cabbage.

I'm going back for seconds.

Anyone else?

Who's that girl?

I've never seen her before.

When did she come

to Lady Beatrice's?

Is she Eliza's friend?

That's my monogram!

Who are you, and why

are you wearing my new blazer?!

There's an ape in my uniform!

Ugh! Give it back!

Give it back!

Did he escape from the zoo?

Darwin, no!

Oh!

Food fight, everyone!

Aye, yi, yi!

-Aye, yi, yi!

-Yeah, yeah, baby

Talking about the big monkey man

-Aye, yi, yi!

-Ooh!

Aye, yi, yi...

Come on!

Talking about the big monkey man

Food is for eating!

Food is for...

Run, monkey, run!

Run!

...la, la, la-la-la, la la

This is the best meal

we've ever had!

Miss Thornberry...

...your grandmother will hear

of this in the morning

and when we revive her

I'm sure she'll be

gravely disappointed.

Now, say good-bye to your pet

and come along!

Eliza, don't leave me

in this place.

I'll never last the night!

No offense.

I'm sure you're very nice.

"Thunder," is it?

How horsy.

I'll come see you

in the morning, Dar.

Trot along, lassie.

Your friend will be fine

with me.

Thanks, Thunder.

Miss Thornberry.

Come along.

I could use a hot bath

and a good meal.

You're in luck.

They'll be bringing the hay

'round any minute.

I'm to eat hay?

Aye, and sweet crunchy oats

from time to time, too.

Oh, that changes everything.

I'm beginning to see

why they call you Thunder.

Uh, never mind.

Where's the bathroom?

You're standing on it.

Did Mrs. Fairgood make him go

to the zoo?

Where did he sleep?

Oh, Eliza, tell us everything!

How ever did you smuggle

the chimp in your suitcase?

Darwin decided to...

Oh, uh, I mean it was easy.

From hiding him from Sarah--

that's a different story.

Ooh! Miss Sarah Wellington

thinks she's the bee's knees.

Why would you ever come here

where it's so boring?

I got into trouble.

I snuck out at night and...

there were poachers,

hunting some animals.

-Poachers?

-With guns?

What happened?!

Go on, Eliza.

There were these three

cheetah cubs I knew.

Like kittens, only-only wild.

Well, we were running

when we heard shots.

And a man dropped out

of a helicopter on a ladder

and... grabbed the one

I named Tally.

I tried to save him,

but they cut the ladder, and...

I fell.

Tally was gone.

Poor Tally.

I think he's alive.

I just feel it.

This is terrible!

Can't we write letters

or something?

Let's have a bake sale!

-Yes, let's!

-Oh, let us help!

Thanks, you guys, but...

What's going on in my room,

and why wasn't I invited?

Sarah, Eliza was just telling us

the most awful story

about... Tally.

Never mind.

I've been at Mrs. Fairgood's,

filling out a report

and I'm quite tired.

You'll all have to go.

Good night, Eliza.

Good night, Sarah.

Night, you guys!

I still can't believe

you harbored a wild animal

in my room, and I never...

There are peas in my bed!

Tally?

Tally!

Tally. Oh, Tally,

I knew you were alive.

These trees...

Eliza, help me!

Tally!

-These trees

-Tally!

I gave you this gift

for a reason, Eliza.

Shaman Mnyambo?

You must not waste time.

You must go to your destiny.

Go.

What do you mean?

Where am I supposed to go?

Shaman!

Tally is alive.

Go save him, Eliza.

Go. Go!

Shaman Mnyambo's right.

I have to go.

What are you doing?

I have to leave.

I'm calling Mrs. Fairgood.

No! Please!

You have to keep

this a secret.

Do you have a credit card?

I need two tickets to Africa.

Africa?! I am not

taking part in this.

My parents will pay you back,

I promise.

And no one will know

you helped me

until it's all over.

Until what's all over?

You're acting so odd.

I'm reporting you at once.

Sarah, please, it's

a matter of life and death.

I have to go now,

and I really need your help.

Please!

And just think-- you'll get

the room all to yourself again.

Would you prefer

aisle or window?

Darwin, wake up!

Uh? Oh... what?

Oh, I've tried to keep track

of the days

but they've bled into months.

Dar, it's only been four hours.

Ah! Ooh!

Guh-guh-guh-guh-guh

get out of London

Hold tight

I'm walkin' on the pavement

Scarin' all the lions,

so the bears don't eat me

Send me to the salt mines

Get on the bus,

but the bus don't start...

I'm facing a photo,

a beauty is there

Tears on my cheek

She's living in a nightmare

Turn the page

to a brand-new leaf

Resolute, psycho dude,

time to be a Z

Okay, all right,

I know I'm doing wrong

But save it till tomorrow

Gotta guh-guh-guh-guh

Get out of London.

Well, it's certainly better than

riding in the baggage hold.

-But I still don't understand...

S-hh!

I'll tell you

after the plane takes off.

I can't risk anyone

finding us now.

Fine!

Shh!

And stop fidgeting!

I can't help it.

I've got hay in my skirt.

She has that hairy disease.

We're going to see

a special doctor...

in Nairobi.

Hmm!

I didn't meet you

in the jungle

Swinging from a tree

I sat down at the piano,

you were playing with me

I couldn't believe

all the things you could do

The apes I'd seen

were in the zoo

They say we are unique with

this language that we speak

But you have proved them wrong

Skinner and Chomsky--

how could they be so blind

With evidence this strong?

Intelligent life

is all around us

Intelligent life

is all around us

Bonobo calling me now...

I'll find you, Tally.

I promise.

Bonobo calling me now

Bonobo calling me now

Bonobo calling me now...

Whoo!

We'll be gone

until after the eclipse.

Will you be all right

with Donnie?

Are you kidding?

This will be the highlight

of my young life.

That's the spirit, poodles!

Dad, have you completely

lost your ability

to recognize sarcasm?

I'm not sure I ever had it,

Deborah.

Now, stay close to camp.

If you're lucky, you might see

a hyena roving about.

Excuse me while I go find

a container for my joy.

Very well,

we'll wait right here.

Oh! That's sarcasm, isn't it?

You do that rather frequently,

don't you?

Debbie, just how long is

this sulking going to go on?

Hmm, another 35, 40 minutes.

Then I'll start up

again tomorrow.

Well, get some rest.

I know it must be draining.

We'll call you

on the shortwave.

Be careful,

and have a good time.

No problem.

I'll take the Congocon

for a spin.

Absolutely not!

Absolutely not!

But do have fun!

Acci-dent, acci-dent, acci-dent.

Acci-dent, acci-dent, acci-dent.

That is so wrong.

Help! The poachers!

Help! The poachers!

I've been shot.

Darwin, get up!

Wh-What?!

Excuse me, uh...

Whoa!

A rhino's been shot!

You've got to let me

off this train!

Whoa!

Hang on.

We'll get help.

You'll be okay.

They shot me...

at the river.

They were trying to take my horn

when I ran away.

Help!

Help!

Please help me!

This rhino's been shot!

Hold this, right here.

Is he still alive?

Barely, but don't worry, honey,

I think I can save him.

You're a very brave young lady.

We saw you jump from that train.
