I love that you were named after Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan.
You hear that sound? Those are lemurs.
They're primates, they sound like people laughing in the distance.
They freak me out.
You sound like a lemur.
What?
I'm worried Lily's gonna hurt Dylan.
No, it's gonna be the other way around.
Well, how do you figure that?
'Cause she's a farm girl, Ben... jamin.
And,
he's like this exotic creature from the city.
- Exotic? My son? - Yes.
I was afraid you thought he was a little bit of a jerk.
I'm guessing that Rosie was more like your wife and Dylan's more like you
and that's why you're so hard on him.
I want you to know, I think you're incredibly pretty.
Please, don't take offense if I don't hit on you.
I'd be offended if you did.
Good.
I'm a big fan of people being exactly who they are.
- Exactly. - So we think alike.
We do.
And if I wanted to be kissed by you, you wouldn't have a choice.
Thank you. I think.
I don't doubt that.
- What did we just say? - I don't know.
Okay.
It's a lot to take on. All of us.
I'll see you tomorrow, right?
It hurts me to tell you this.
I've been checking his bills.
The zoo account is empty.
He has no more money. He has no idea what he's doing.
He is going to end up selling this place to somebody for cheap.
For the land alone.
That's right, Robin!
I am warning you now.
Behind that front is a front!
Benjamin Mee is a fraud!
- Hey. - What else you got?
It's a bad idea. Let me call you back.
You gotta look at this. She left a deposit slip.
And it led me to that.
Let's go.
Do you know what she did for you?
I think so.
She knew exactly what you would do.
You'd make a bad investment, need to start over,
and have to have a cushion.
This is your cushion.
- $84,000, man. - Oh, my God.
$84,000.
It's unbelievable.
She's still lookin' out for you, man.
She calls it your circus money.
Circus money, yeah.
- This next part's kind of hurtful. - Yeah.
It says, "Listen to your heart, not your brother."
I know, I read that. She loved you, man.
She used three exclamation marks.
She loved you.
Well, I can see why you still carry the torch.
Yeah, but with $84,000, we'll cut a few corners,
but I know we can make the inspection.
No, Benji.
Here's what she's saying.
You're free. You realize that.
Listen.
Benji.
You did it, man. You went to the circus.
You changed Dylan and Rosie's lives.
They're gonna have those memories forever.
But staying here and going down in flames,
that's not what Katherine wanted. She wanted you to be free.
This money is your ticket out.
And if you won't listen to your brother, the accountant,
then listen to your wife
who clearly planned a financial future for you.
Okay.
Here.
Thanks.
I hear you may not be staying here much longer.
Seriously?
Yeah.
But if you still want to befriends, you know, I'll still be your friend.
I mean, there are still cars and all.
Well, yeah, of course,
but are you for real with this?
Oh, yes! This is fantastic.
I'm goin' home.
See my friends.
Hey, listen, I gotta go.
Don't tell anybody what I heard, okay?
Sure! Thanks!
You don't have to leave so fast.
I'm goin' home.
It's Rhonda. She's leavin' for some job in Mexico
and she just turned everybody against you.
They're all in there. Says you don't have any more money, man.
- She says you're a fraud. - I got it.
Well...
I want to say it has been an amazing experience here.
Each of you, I've come to know in some small way.
But the financial climate being what it is,
- I think none of us thought we'd...
Well...
I don't know how to say this.
I've been an adventure addict my whole life.
With no big regard for cost.
With... Well, with no regard for cost.
Basically, I was just an observer and a writer.
But this is my first real adventure.
And I just want to say that
it's been the best one of all because it's personal.
And thanks to my Katherine,
the money came through.
So, I don't know what you've heard,
but I am able to say, though I don't have a lot,
I do have enough to get us by.
And if you stick with me, I will give this everything.
But I will need everything from you and we are going to reopen this zoo.
It is the best job in the world.
And it's gonna take everything to make it work.
So don't... Don't give up on our adventure.
Well, that's good enough for me.
- Me, too. - Done, man.
- All right. - Whoo!
Yeah!
Circus money, man.
Our adventure is just beginning.
That's not what I meant.
I know.
And Rhonda?
I wish you the best in Mexico.
I don't speak Spanish.
Adiós.
All right.
Cut!
- All right! - Almost there, buddy!
You just get that hat?
So you woke up this morning and you thought to yourself...
it's cold.
"I'm gonna put on this hat."
Why? What do I look like in the hat?
I think Spar will like these.
All right, do we need anything else while we're in the land of people?
Nope. I'm good.
Yeah?
How come you don't tell stories any more?
Well, because we're livin' the story.
I wish we could tell Mom that.
You don't think Mom knows?
I know she knows.
Me, too.
Okay. $74.39.
I don't come up with the prices.
No, it's not the prices. it's me.
It's really well worn.
- It might not work. - It'll work.
- It... it'll work. - No, no, no.
It's just that it says "Rosemoor Animal Park".
- That's the one. - You work there?
I do, and I also own it.
Strange but true.
- We bought a zoo! - Throttle down.
I love that zoo!
Really?
Oh, my... We used to go there all the time!
- Is it gonna open again soon? - Yes.
We're gonna open in a few days.
We're goin' for the 7th, 7/7.
7/7. Well, you know what? I'm gonna be there.
You reserve me nine tickets, 'cause I'm gonna bring the in-laws.
And maybe we could feed a couple of 'em to the tigers.
Thank you so much.
I'm sorry. Mister! Your bulbs.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- 7/7. - 7/7.
You want to hear somethin' crazy? I think we're gonna be okay.
Come on, man, we talked about this.
You gotta eat that food to get all the meds.
You know, there's a major buzz waitin' for you inside that meat.
Your neurotransmitters are gonna be firin'
all the way to the moon and back.
You'll be dating seven-year-olds.
Have every house cat from here to El Cajon.
Buddy, if you don't eat the food
- and you don't get your medicine,
it all goes downhill very fast.
I'm tellin' you the truth.
Trust me.
Come on, man, we're almost there.
You gotta stick with me.
We got opening day comin' up.
He's fine. He's okay.
Well, can we use the ladder?
We tried luring him with food.
He's gotta come down from there.
He's gotta eat his food, he's gotta drink water,
he's gotta take his medication.
He's dehydrated.
I mean, we've gotta get him into the enclosure.
Are the other two inside?
- Benjamin! - Look, if he moves to attack me,
at least he'll be moving, right?
- He's slow, I can outrun him. - It's not a bullfight.
Benjamin!
I think it's time.
For what?
He's ready. Let's call the vet.
You're the owner. You have to okay this.
No, man.
Look, this doesn't feel right.
Benjamin, it never feels right.
- Stuck? - Yeah, stuck. He's stuck.
- Anybody, ideas? - Loud noises scare the big cats.
Loud noises scare the big cats.
Wait. Hold on.
We can scare him into goin' back in.
That's a good idea. All right,
- when I give the signal... - Hey, hold on a sec.
You guys just yell, scream, make as much noise as possible.
Spar's gonna hate it, but maybe he'll come down.
I don't know. it's our only option.
- Hold on. - So, guys, get pots, pans,
stuff like that, okay?
Nathan? Nathan, go to two.
Nathan? Nathan, wake up!
Come on, get off!
Get off of there, Spar!
We love you, Spar!
Come on! Come down, Spar! Come on down!
Come on, honey, come down for us!
Come on, get down, Spar! Get down!
Come on, Spar! Come on, come on!
Get down off the rock, Spar!
Come on down!
Come on, hotshot, come on!
Would you just do what's good for you? Will you listen and get off the rock?
Would you just listen sometimes and do what's good for you?
- Come on, Spar! Come on! - You're an animal! You can't do this to me!
Come on, baby!
That's it! That's it, that's it! Go, go there!
Get off the rocks! Get off the rocks!
Do you think I want to do this by myself?
Do you think I want to come out here
and drag you out here?
I did it because I was desperate!
Benjamin?
Hey, look, I'm feelin' a real lack of privacy right now.
Like, maybe we're all a bit in each other's pockets.
Can't you see his legs? He's suffering, man.
He's in a lot of pain. I can't stand to watch it.
- I know him. I see it. - Yeah, I mean, I know him.
Hey! Hey.
He's in so much pain.
They can't tell you, but they show you. You know, they show you.
Well, hang on. What is all the cheering about, then?
- He's okay. - It's going to happen.
He's better.
It's going to happen.
- Don't repeat it to me like I'm a kid. - It's going to happen.
You've never done this before! You don't know how this goes!
I know exactly how this goes.
And I invite you to tell me about that sometime.
But this is a rookie mistake.
I've been with him for 13 years.
You can't see how selfish this is,
to extend this? Come on, you're too smart not to.
I'm saying, we just let him live for a couple more weeks.
Get him some medicine and invest in a little bit of hope!
No, I can't stand by and watch this happen!
- I'm not gonna do it! - Well, it's not up to you.
It's gonna happen.
Don't make me get angry.
'Cause that would just be so terrible, if you got angry.
You know what the right thing to do is!
I'm so disappointed in you.
Well, you don't even know me well enough to say that!
Hi, Lucy. When are you gonna have those babies?
Hey, Rosie. Your dad around?
He said he was goin' to think. He does that sometimes.
You guys makin' dinner?
- No. - Well, let me help you.
- I'll order a pizza or something. - No, look, it's fine.
Look, Dad'll be back soon. He's just having a mood.
Yeah? How long do those last?
A couple of years.
Pizza. Pizza, pizza, pizza.
Smells good.
- Good job. - Thank you.
- You miss Lily? - Me?
- No. - I bet you put all your feelings
- into your drawings? - Nah, not really.
I guess I just can't talk to girls that well?
Well, talkin' to girls is easy. They'll tell you everything.
The secret to talking is listening.
I thought if I came out here it would stop.
Back home, every place reminded me of her.
Filippe's on Third Street. Balboa Park.
Little Dom's, the coffee shop, that... That's a big one.
I mean, the air, the way it smelled in May and August,
because those were the months that her
favorite bushes grew flowers all over our neighborhood.
They're all triggers, man.
And it got better for a while.
I mean, it... It did, out here.
But the funny thing is that
it just turns out that she's here, too.
I mean, I go to Home Depot. I go to the nine-miles-away Target.
We need a new store.
And seriously, I'm avoiding half the aisles.
Condiments.
Pastries, forget about it.
She loved red kites and blueberry Pop-Tarts.
I mean, who doesn't, right?
Who doesn't?
If only I could talk to her about getting over her.
Yeah.
And most of all, it's the kids. They're the biggest triggers of all.
I mean, Dylan. His eyes.
You know, I've only seen that expression in somebody's eyes
once in my life.
And the way he just drives me nuts, he makes me crazy.
Denies me, frustrates me.
And all the time, he's looking back at me with her eyes.
And none of her lightness.
What I've figured out is that when you love somebody that much,
that hard, that long,
you can never get away from them, no matter where you go.
And that only comes
once in a lifetime.
Just can't get a handle on it.
I cannot let go.
I can.
Sleep well, Benjamin. Sweet dreams.
I get it now, okay? I get why you can't stand me!
Okay. All right.
No. At least now I know the real reason why you hate me!
Look, I heard you admit it to her.
Like you were talking about cornflakes.
You hate me!
I hate you? Wait a second.
Okay, we've had some problems, man, but we're figurin' it out, okay?
That is bullshit!
Admit it! You wish I wasn't here!
With that expression in my eyes?
I heard you!
Hold on! Enough with the drama! All right?
Knock it off! You misheard me!
I can't stand it here! Look, can't you see that?
No, but thank you for telling me, again!
I keep forgetting! it's all about you!
Why don't I just pack us up? We'll just go on the road together.
We could be hobos.
Because you wasted all our money!
Some of that belonged to me, Dad!
I didn't waste our money. I thought you liked it here.
And I'm sorry, I thought your friends would come out and visit you, man.
I called them all myself and I invited 'em.
And I'm sorry, I thought you and Lily were friends.
I thought, I thought, I thought...
I thought this was...
I mean, I thought you liked me!
I thought this was a dream come true for us!
It's your dream!
You can't force a dream onto someone else, Dad!
Yes, I can!
- I can force a dream on you! - Why are you yelling?
Because it's a good dream!
And it's got cool animals in it and some pretty great people, too!
And because I'm your father and I'm the only one you've got!
And the line of people in this world who really care about you ends here!
So stop moping around this place, man!
And pick up a shovel and dig a hole!
Do something!
You just sit here and feel sorry for yourself, man!
Help me with your sister!
- Help me, damn it! - Help me, damn it! Help me!
I'm sorry that your mother got sick when she did.
Believe me.
I'm sorry that you didn't get more of a childhood, man.
That's just how that one went.
But we live with a seven-year-old girl who still believes in the Easter Bunny.
What are we gonna do?
You never ask me how I'm doin'.
You never even taught me how to shave.
What, you want to know how to shave?
I would love to teach you how to shave!
Let's shave!
What about the Easter Bunny?
Is it time?
What happened with you and Lily?
I don't know.
I guess I didn't listen to something she told me or somethin'?
I mean, I liked her.
It's like you embarrass yourself if you say something,
and you embarrass yourself if you don't.
I like it when you talk.
You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage.
Just, literally 20 seconds of just embarrassing bravery.
And I promise you, something great will come of it.
I never know what to say to you.
I'm the same way.
Why don't we just tell each other what we wish the other guy would say?
"I'm sorry I brought you out to the sticks."
"You're a great dad."
You did your best, Dad.
He knows that.
Okay.
Come on, Dad. Let's go home.
I sot her!
Come on, let's go!
Here.
No tag backs! I know.
Whoo!
You would have done the same for me.
Why not?
Hey, I need you for a second. I gotta...
- Sure. - ...borrow your artist's eye.
You gotta tell me what you think
about this.
Not bad? Huh?
Where are you putting this?
I don't know. I was thinkin' maybe
everywhere.
I'm your fan, man. Don't you know that by now?
Dad? Dad, the peacocks are hatching!
Did you give 'em all names, Rosie?
Mmm-hmm.
- Which one's that one right there? - Lucy.
Wait, not Lucy. Peaches.
Peaches. How do you keep 'em all straight? You have three named Peaches.
Would somebody just get my tranq gun?
My brother can't take no for an answer.
Not why I'm here, bro.
I talked to MacCready. Hello, children.
I asked him if you guys needed any help.
In the trunk of this car is haddock.
Two hundred pounds' worth.
- For Bruno. - Buster.
Whatever.
- Are you serious? - No.
Serious is the smell in that car.
I started questioning my entire being back there on the 405.
It was like Altered States. I saw an iguana and a dwarf Indian.
Aw, Dunc.
All right. Come on. Got an inspection tomorrow.
- So we do. - So we do.
Duncan, Duncan, Duncan! That defeats its own purpose!
What you got her painting there, Rosie?
Ladybugs.
Wait.
Behold, Mac. Our new logo.
- You got it? - Yeah. It fits.
- Now it's official. - Love our logo, she's a beaut.
- Did I look like that? - Worse.
Wow. it's humiliating. You seem really calm.
- Have you been drinking? - All night long.
- Thanks for that. - Any time.
Okay.
Well, this is it.
I want everyone to stay off their walkies.
If anybody has any problem, I don't want to hear about it
until after Walter Ferris is gone. Got it?
All right, here we go.
Here's to us.
Mr. Ferris. Welcome back to the Rosemoor Animal Park Adventure.
It's an adventure now?
Well, to be precise, sir,
it always was.
- Hello, MacCready. - Hello.
- How are you? - On my best behavior.
I like the jumpsuit.
- Love the tie. - Thank you.
Wait for me, Dad.
Well, that's one way to do it.
Moist.
Oh, God.
MacCready, I would love it if you could come and meet me
by Solomon's enclosure. Bye.
Let's go see Solomon's enclosure.
We're sunk. We're doomed.
Come, MacCready, please come, please.
Thank God you're here.
I asked you so politely, I didn't think you'd come.
And that's why I came. You're never that polite. What's up?
The lock is broken and I feel like the only way...
Oh, God, the only way to fix it is to jimmy it from the inside.
I made this lock.
- We're going to fail this inspection. - We're not gonna fail it.
- You're going to calm down. - Yes, I am.
What are you gonna do to help?
I'm gonna distract him from the other side of this enclosure
and you're gonna not get eaten!
All right, it's gonna be fine.
Okay.
Hey, hey, Solomon! Who's a handsome boy?
Come on, Solomon. Come on, baby! Over here.
Ooh! Hey!
Solomon! Can you hear me?
Come on, Solomon, come on, baby!
- Hey, do you want somethin' to drink? - I don't drink.
Well, not even water?
Do you have any idea what they put in water?
Over here.
Hey, good boy, good Solomon! Good Solomon! Good boy! Good boy!
Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?
Who's a handsome boy? Keep working! Hurry up! Would you hurry up?
I can only keep his attention for so long!
Hi, boy! Hi, boy! Fix it, fix it, would you?
I like to work in silence!
Sheep farts in aspic!
Cocktails!
I... No, no, no, no! Wait! Solomon!
Solomon! Come here! Come here! Come here!
Come here! Oh, God! Don't turn around.
Don't turn around! Turn around. Turn around!
You don't want me!
I am filled with Scotch and bitterness and impure thoughts!
I can hear Ferris right now! MacCready!
Got it!
Okay.
Afternoon, Solomon!
Hey, mister.
Everybody says you're a dick.
I don't know what that means, but I don't believe it.
I don't think it's gonna work.
But good luck.
- Yes! - Yes!
Hey, listen.
I want to see you here opening day.
I don't fraternize, Mr. Mee.
I'm sure I'll have plenty of reports.
We did it!
- We win! - Yeah!
- Kelly! - Way to go, Benji!
I told you...
Whoo!
So, Ernesto and his friends are plastering posters everywhere
within a 20-mile radius.
- What happens if nobody comes? - What?
What happens if literally we did this whole thing for nothing?
Come on, give me a break. You've come this far. Huh?
We walk
with lions.
Good aim.
I'm gonna say this one more time, buddy.
I like the animals, but I love the humans.
You do somethin' for the right reasons,
nothing can stop you.
Okay. Okay.
- Hi. - Hi.
Look, am I nuts to say that I missed you like crazy a lot? A lot.
Plus, I wasn't named after Bob Dylan.
I was named after a dog named Dylan.
I don't even care. Who cares?
- Sorry about the rain. - No, I love it.
I love your hair. I loved your sign, Lily. I love you.
The precipitation tonight
is just a hint of what's yet to come!
- I would definitely put this...
Get an umbrella.
Or better yet, just stay indoors.
Look, my cameraman just handed me his umbrella.
Betsy, we're told that this is gonna be the wettest summer in aver 100 years!
Back to you guys in your cozy little studio.
A hundred years.
Nathan, we're running out of yams and monkey chow.
Can you check on the invoice order?
Yeah. Take it all.
Just like Sheila did.
On this July Eth, 2010,
reports of power lines down as this record storm continues.
Very heavy rain and plenty of lightning continue throughout the week.
Dylan?
- Dylan! Dad! - Dyl?
- I see it. - Okay. Get ready.
Whoa!
Wait a minute, turn around. Let me see.
What? The hair, what happened to the hair?
French braids. Big in the '90s.
Nice, very nice.
They're gonna be here today, Benjamin. I know it.
10:00, this place'll be packed.
Okay, well, we all know that I stink at speeches, so I won't even try.
If Katherine were here, she would have come up with
somethin' really funny and clever for me to say,
and I'd have taken full credit.
It's not about where an adventure ends,
'cause that's not what an adventure's about.
So anything that happens from here on out is a bonus.
And I love you guys.
Okay! Let's open the gates!
- It's a zoo!
Yes, it is!
- What time is it? - 10:02.
They should be here.
Patience, my son. Patience.
No, he's right. They should be here.
Look, maybe it's supposed to be this way. I don't know.
- Maybe it's supposed to take a while. - Dad, something's wrong.
- Dylan? - No, something's wrong!
Dyl!
The tree fell down in the rain last night!
They couldn't have gotten through even if they were here.
Look!
Welcome! Come on, come on, we're open!
Hi, there. Good morning. Welcome, welcome.
Come on, hi. Watch your step.
I'm so glad you're open.
Thank you for coming.
Come on.
Easy.
- Good morning. - Let me help you there. I gotcha!
There you go. I got ya.
Of course, we have lions, man.
Hey, man, how are ya?
Kelly, how's it looking for the giraffes?
- How's your family? - Great to see you.
Welcome to Rosemoor Animal Park.
Would you like a brochure?
Hey, guys, thanks for coming out and welcome to your zoo.
As you can see, the tigers know that you're here,
so they're showing off today.
A couple of interesting facts about the tigers.
Peafowl are very resilient animals.
This is Lucy and Wesley, and Peaches.
And this is Solomon.
Hi, Solomon!
- Hey, brother, you need a map? - Sure. Thanks.
It's all right. It doesn't hurt that bad.
- Good job. - Thank you.
Thanks for saving the animals.
- Thank you. Thanks. - Good job.
Home Depot.
Well done.
- We're out of tickets. - Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
I ordered early for August.
I have 'em. Yeah, got 'em. Got 'em.
Great.
I got a big crush on you, and I just can't get a handle on it, so.
Congratulations.
Congratulations to you.
And if we're standing near each other on New Year's,
we'll do this again sometime.
I look forward to New Year's.
Look over here, guys.
Just be yourself. This one's for Spar.
Say, "Peaches."
Peaches.
All right. Give me that camera. Say, "Spar."
Spar.
And one more of me just throwing her over.
- Dump me there inside the fence. - Ready, one, two, three.
Ready? One, two, three!
If you had to choose between people and animals, really quick,
how would you choose?
I want to get a shot of that.
I'll get a close-up on your nose.
Me, too.
People!
- You goofball.
- We bought a zoo. - We did that.
You only have to be courageous for 20 seconds.
It has guided me my entire life.
- All right. Ladies first. - Where are we going?
Now, hang on. So, okay. Stop.
She was
right there.
This is the moment where both of you became a possibility.
I love that you're telling stories again.
This is the story before the story.
This is where you and you begin.
Because this is where I met your mom.
She was sitting right there in that chair.
Hang on.
Hey, hey. So,
I was walkin' by.
And I saw her and I literally stopped, like this, just stopped.
And went, "Oh, my God."
"That is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my entire life."
But I've never done anything like this.
I'd never gone and talked to a total stranger before.
But she was right there.
And so I thought to myself, "20 seconds." Right?
Go.
Now I'm in the restaurant. And I'm terrified.
Thinkin' about leaving.
I can actually touch her. She's right there.
She still hasn't seen me.
And I still have 15 seconds of courage left.
I'm goin' for it.
Bravery.
Here's what I said.
What?
I said,
"Excuse me."
Hi, Mom.
Hi, Mommy.
"Why would an amazing woman like you"
"even talk to someone like me?."
Why not?
You made me long for.
To be a part of.
Something that I can't see.
A life that is beyond.
Something that I can't fear.
To be a part of.
The story, it belongs to you.
Something you said burns.
Apart the pen and the paper.
You can't always write it.
It is something you have to do.
Gathering stories.
A story, it belongs to you.
They say that it's gone now.
You know that I disagree.
I barely hear you.
Your signal is cold now.
So turn me into.
Video.
Tune the radio.
Sing along.
To all our favorite songs.
Your signal is growing.
Out in little pieces.
And watch in a moment.
Secure it for falling.
Over the stars.
Over the nights.
Over the rains.
Over the moons.
Over the days.
Over the streams.
Over the skies.
Over the ponds.
Over the fires.
Over the lakes.
Over the trees.
Over the minds.
Our kid zigs.
Opens doors.
Over the doors.
I am alive
