We Bought a Zoo (2012) Edit

A couple of interesting facts about the tigers.

A couple of years.

A dollar fifty?

A good one. Oldie but a goodie. What do you think?

A handle on it.

A hard hitting exposé about world peace.

A life that is beyond

A new medication, so let me just...

A new start.

A story, it belongs to you

A weak enclosure between the jaguars and the tigers.

A week before we open for the inspection.

A week before we open, according to my information.

A whimsical portraiture of recycling.

A zoo?

About this.

About two minutes!

About your lack of effort, man. Okay?

Adiós.

Admit it! You wish I wasn't here!

Afternoon, Solomon!

All right, do we need anything else while we're in the land of people?

All right, forget that.

All right, here we go.

All right, it's gonna be fine.

All right, let's let this shirt start over!

All right, McGinty, so get this.

All right, so Rosie and I'll

All right.

All right.

All right. Come on. Got an inspection tomorrow.

All right. Give me that camera. Say, Spar.

All right. Let's see.

All the way to the moon and back.

Almost.

Am I doin' anything right?

And 47 other species, seven of which are endangered.

And a lion. And a jaguar.

And all of them are saved the second we make this deal.

And all the software, and laptops,

And all the time, he's looking back at me with her eyes.

And apps in the world aren't gonna change that.

And because I'm your father and I'm the only one you've got!

And don't think I don't notice you just changed the subject.

And drag you out here?

And he stole $500 from me,

And how much did they cost?

And I invite you to tell me about that sometime.

And I just have to say that I love this job.

And I just want to say that

And I know what's in the Jaguar, too.

And I love you guys.

And I love you. And those patched elbows.

And I promise you, something great will come of it.

And I saw her and I literally stopped, like this, just stopped.

And I still have 15 seconds of courage left.

And I think you'll be very excited at what's available.

And I write about the end of the world from the point of view

And I'd have taken full credit.

And I'll get the dish back to you within the week.

And I'll put them in the exhibit in the morning.

And I'm here shovellin' shit.

And I'm sorry, I thought you and Lily were friends.

And I'm sorry, I thought your friends would come out and visit you, man.

And if we're standing near each other on New Year's,

And if you stick with me, I will give this everything.

And if you won't listen to your brother, the accountant,

And it ends with you authentically living

And it got better for a while.

And it led me to that.

And it's gonna take everything to make it work.

And it's got cool animals in it and some pretty great people, too!

And live in a state of sponsored pity.

And make sure the lights are off in the side room?

And maybe we could feed a couple of 'em to the tigers.

And most of all, it's the kids. They're the biggest triggers of all.

And my big boy, Dylan. And our dog, Leon.

And none of her lightness.

And now he's into portraits of decapitations.

And one more of me just throwing her over.

And Peter and Robin do... Well, they basically do everything.

And Peter is our visionary.

And pick up a shovel and dig a hole!

And put it in your heart.

And remember,

And Rhonda?

And seriously, I'm avoiding half the aisles.

And she just turned everybody against you.

And so I thought to myself, 20 seconds. Right?

And so, our adventure begins.

And sponsors of animal greatness.

And thanks to my Katherine,

And that only comes

And that's Crystal, our capuchin.

And that's why I came. You're never that polite. What's up?

And that's why you're so hard on him.

And the line of people in this world who really care about you ends here!

And the monkeys need fruit as well.

And the snakes, and the monkeys.

And the way he just drives me nuts, he makes me crazy.

And the world.

And then there's the remaining staff on board and, you know.

And this is our zoo now, I guess.

And this is Solomon.

And watch in a moment

And we call it... You ready?

And we do a whole thing about how life is elemental,

And went, Oh, my God.

And what we do... Dyl, check this out.

And you asked Mommy that?

And you feel like you can't hear her voice?

And you, I mean...

And you're gonna not get eaten!

And you've moved into a dump.

And,

And...

Are the other two inside?

Are they really gonna be psyched?

Are you hungry? I think so.

Are you hungry? I think so.

Are you ready to go to bed?

As you can see, the tigers know that you're here,

As you do on your artwork, you'd have it all.

At least he'll be moving, right?

Attempt to start over.

Aw, Dunc.

Awesome.

Awesome. I'm gonna take baldness off my list of things to worry about.

Back home, every place reminded me of her.

Back in the 1980s!

Back to you guys in your cozy little studio.

Backwards and forwards.

Basically, I was just an observer and a writer.

Bear shit!

Because it's a good dream!

Because this is where I met your mom.

Because those were the months that her

Because you wasted all our money!

Behind that front is a front!

Behold, Mac. Our new logo.

Behold, Mac. Our new logo.

Believe me.

Ben contained him, so he's fine.

Benjamin Mee is a fraud!

Benjamin Mee.

Benjamin Mee.

Benjamin, I've arrived at a thought.

Benjamin, it never feels right.

Benjamin!

Benjamin?

Benjamin. Ben was my dad.

Benji.

Besides today's theft,

Betsy, we're told that this is gonna be the wettest summer in over 100 years!

Bob Dylan.

Boy, it's a shame we... We can't just...

Bravery.

Buddy, if you don't eat the food

Built by Peter MacCready.

Buster, this is a big gun and I don't want to shoot you.

Buster!

Buster!

Buster! I know you're out there! Buster!

Buster?

But are you for real with this?

But good luck.

But I keep getting calls on the overdrafts on these checks.

But I know we can make the inspection.

But I noticed that your kid really pushes your buttons.

But I will need everything from you and we are going to reopen this zoo.

But I'm just tellin' Kelly here that she's gotta...

But I've never done anything like this.

But if you still want to befriends, you know, I'll still be your friend.

But it's got rips and everything everywhere.

But maybe my older brother didn't see this place.

But no, no, no, no. He's supposed to come

But she was right there.

But staying here and going down in flames,

But the financial climate being what it is,

But the funny thing is that

But then they wake up another day.

But they don't feel really sick.

But this is a rookie mistake.

But this is my first real adventure.

But we live with a seven year old girl who still believes in the Easter Bunny.

But what I'm hopin' for is like a big backyard.

But, as one parent to another, I...

Buy the property and then just relocate the animals?

By buying a broken down zoo in the country,

By Solomon's enclosure. Bye.

Can we see the otters? I'd love to see the otters.

Can you check on the invoice order?

Can't you see his legs? He's suffering, man.

Catch her spirit.

Catch her spirit. That's right.

Causing damage.

Cereal bar for you. You're late, dude.

Cerrado.

Charley, is really kneading us well, sir.

Circus money, man.

Circus money, yeah.

Cocktails!

Come here! Oh, God! Don't turn around.

Come on, baby!

Come on, come on. We're late, guys. Let's go. Come on.

Come on, Dad. Let's go home.

Come on, give me a break. You've come this far. Huh?

Come on, guys. Grab a box, man. Go, go get a box.

Come on, hi. Watch your step.

Come on, honey, come down for us!

Come on, man, we talked about this.

Come on, man, we're almost there.

Come on, Solomon, come on, baby!

Come on, Solomon, come on, baby!

Come on, Spar! Come on, come on!

Come on, sweetie. Come on. Okay, where did Mom get the backpacks?

Come on! Come down, Spar! Come on down!

Come, MacCready, please come, please.

Condiments.

Congratulations to you.

Congratulations.

Contain the dark lord.

Corn's ready!

Could you possibly be making a joke right now?

Could you possibly point another fan at me?

Cut!

Dad, here he come...

Dad, I have a sick amount of homework tonight.

Dad, I'll just get waffles.

Dad, it's whatever. Look, I'll know it when I get to school.

Dad, someday you're gonna have to eat some of that lasagna.

Dad, there's nothin' you could say to me

Dad!

Dad!

Dad? Dad, the peacocks are hatching!

Dad.

Dad. Nobody's gonna give an F to a kid whose mom died six months ago.

Daddy, I can't sleep. The neighbors again.

Denies me, frustrates me.

Did you even read that book? Man...

Did you give 'em all names, Rosie?

Dig you out. My goodness. There, it's Miss...

Do something!

Do you feel like you can't see her?

Do you have any idea what they put in water?

Do you know what she did for you?

Do you think I want to come out here

Do you think I want to do this by myself?

Do you want to... Do you want to keep this?

Don't be a tiny person.

Don't keep me around out of...

Don't make me get angry.

Don't move, Mr. Mee! He might be faking it.

Don't take a gift that's not given to you yet, now. All right?

Don't tell anybody what I heard, okay?

Don't turn around! Turn around. Turn around!

Don't... Don't look now. You're happy. Ha ha!

Duncan, Duncan, Duncan! That defeats its own purpose!

Dyl, can you hand me my phone?

Dyl!

Dylan likes Lily.

Dylan really loves you, you know?

Dylan. His name's Dylan. His clothes are fine.

Each of you, I've come to know in some small way.

Especially somebody with kids. Why?

Even talk to someone like me?

Everybody says you're a dick.

Everywhere.

Except for the books and the telephone.

Favorite bushes grew flowers all over our neighborhood.

Ferris lusts you.

Ferris, that son of a bitch!

Ferris!

Filippe's on Third Street. Balboa Park.

First day. it's my first day.

For angry men. With large mustaches.

For the land alone.

For what?

Forget all that. Don't do what I did. Travel the stages of grief.

Fourteen, I guess.

Frame's a little loose. I...

French braids. Big in the '90s.

Full and total lockdown! Buster!

Gathering stories

Get an umbrella.

Get down off the rock, Spar!

Get him some medicine and invest in a little bit of hope!

Get it done!

Get off the rocks! Get off the rocks!

Get out, get out, get out.

Get us open by July 7th. 7!?

Glad you guys are enjoyin' yourselves.

Go home.

Go into the commercial shrimping business and call myself Captain Dunk.

Go out.

Go to the city. Go find your girlfriends.

Go to the tiger enclosure and give them some water.

Go.

Goldfish, I have.

Good aim.

Good night.

Good word.

Good, go get it. We're gonna need it.

Good.

Good.

Got it, thank you. Hey, look happy. Smile.

Got it!

Got it!

Got it.

Got Little Dom's.

Great, I keep her home from school one day and she gets eaten!

Great, thank you.

Great.

Great. Let's schedule a pop by.

Have every house cat from here to El Cajon.

Have you begun to draw up an end of life plan?

Have you even been inside yet?

He built the enclosures that set the standards

He can still rip your arm off, though.

He doesn't walk with lions.

He even flew into the center of Hurricane Charley.

He expelled you because you stole.

He has no more money. He has no idea what he's doing.

He interviewed dangerous dictators.

He is going to end up selling this place to somebody for cheap.

He just got here and he's already thinkin' of quittin'.

He knew the ins and outs of strange and exotic adventure,

He looks tired, Dad.

He never cheated the Wall of Death!

He said he was goin' to think. He does that sometimes.

He says it all the time. He won't have anything left to say in this century.

He stole all of my ideas. And he gave them to the...

He thought they would all visit. But nobody came.

He was 770, but... But he's been stressed out.

He was toyin' with you, my boy.

He'll be here with the big van, but it'll be expensive!

He'll never last.

He's a crook!

He's been hit by a powerful tranquillizer!

He's dehydrated.

He's fine.

He's gonna be okay.

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 in a lot of pain. I can't stand to watch it.

He's in so much pain.

He's like this exotic creature from the city.

He's off the street and up in the woods!

He's our eldest. He's 17. He's a Bengal tiger.

He's ready. Let's call the vet.

He's so patronizing to me!

Hello, Kelly.

Help me with your sister!

Help me with your sister!

Here is the great Bob Marley.

Here you go, boss.

Here you go, guys. Here's your bag, sweetheart. Here.

Here you go, one, two. There you go.

Here.

Here.

Here's the revised Duncan plan.

Here's to us.

Here's what I said.

Here's what she's saying.

Hey, Buster.

Hey, good boy, good Solomon! Good Solomon! Good boy! Good boy!

Hey, guys, thanks for coming out and welcome to your zoo.

Hey, guys.

Hey, guys. I forgot to buy butter.

Hey, hey, Solomon! Who's a handsome boy?

Hey, hey. So.

Hey, I need you for a second. I gotta...

Hey, I'm pretty sure this is none of my business,

Hey, listen, I gotta go.

Hey, listen.

Hey, Rosie?

Hey, Rosie. Your dad around?

Hey, there, Buster. Are you missin' the meds?

Hey, wait, I feel like I should be helping you here.

Hey, why didn't you go to Sadie's for the play date, sweetie?

Hey, you want some food?

Hey!

Hey!

Hi, Benjamin!

Hi, boy! Hi, boy! Fix it, fix it, would you?

Hi, Lucy. When are you gonna have those babies?

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Mommy.

Hi, there. Good morning. Welcome, welcome.

Hi.

Holy shit. Okay.

Home Depot.

Honey...

How come you don't tell stories any more?

How do they send someone home early for moodiness?

How far are we from the eye?

How great is that?

How important is butter to this meal tonight?

How long you been doin' this job?

How much of this can we get done in a month?

How much?

How would you choose?

How'd you get the nosebleed?

I am alive

I am filled with Scotch and bitterness and impure thoughts!

I am surrounded by hundreds, probably thousands of killer bees.

I asked him if you guys needed any help.

I asked you so politely, I didn't think you'd come.

I barely hear you

I believe you should court the girl we met at Jamba Juice.

I called the vet from San Diego!

I called them all myself and I invited 'em.

I can almost live with the artwork.

I can hear Ferris right now! MacCready!

I can't even find you in there. You're like a Chilean miner.

I can't stand it here! Look, can't you see that?

I can't stand it here! Look, can't you see that?

I cannot let go.

I did it because I was desperate!

I did not appreciate the way he kicked that garter snake.

I didn't think this one was gonna make the trip.

I didn't waste our money. I thought you liked it here.

I do have enough to get us by.

I do, and I also own it.

I don't come up with the prices.

I don't doubt that.

I don't even care. Who cares?

I don't fraternize, Mr. Mee.

I don't know how to say this.

I don't know what that means, but I don't believe it.

I don't know.

I don't know. I was thinkin' maybe

I don't know. it's a sensitive school.

I don't know. it's our only option.

I don't speak Spanish.

I get it now, okay? I get why you can't stand me!

I got a big crush on you, and I just can't get a handle on it, so.

I got your sister home sick from school.

I guess I didn't listen to something she told me or somethin'?

I guess I just can't talk to girls that well?

I guess I just don't understand how you can call this place home.

I hate you? Wait a second.

I hate you? Wait a second.

I have 'em. Yeah, got 'em. Got 'em.

I have a question for you.

I have that.

I have you down as an assistant.

I hear you may not be staying here much longer.

I heard you!

I just can't get

I just want you to be happy, man.

I keep forgetting! it's all about you!

I know all about MacCready.

I know exactly how this goes.

I know she knows.

I know, man, I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I like it when you talk.

I like it.

I like the animals, but I love the humans.

I like the jumpsuit.

I like your drawing.

I like your feathers.

I like yours on your head. And I like your...

I look forward to New Year's.

I love her. You know how I picture her?

I love it. But,

I love new. Hell, I'm new! Excuse my language, but I'm new.

I love that you were named after Bob Dylan.

I love that you're telling stories again.

I love that zoo!

I love your hair. I loved your sign, Lily. I love you.

I love your mom.

I mean, a minute ago, he was into paper airplanes,

I mean, Dylan. His eyes.

I mean, how could this even happen, man? I don't even know how you did this!

I mean, how much is this gonna cost?

I mean, I go to Home Depot. I go to the nine miles away Target.

I mean, I liked her.

I mean, I thought you liked me!

I mean, if Charles Manson needed a personal muralist, you'd be the guy.

I mean, it... It did, out here.

I mean, stationary hills. We...

I mean, there are still cars and all.

I mean, we've gotta get him into the enclosure.

I mean, what do I know? I was spoiled. I had the real thing.

I mean, what kind of regular person just up and buys a place like this?

I mean, who doesn't, right?

I mean, you're gonna have to put some more skin in the game, boss.

I mean, you're gonna have to put some more skin in the game, boss.

I met her there.

I miss our home.

I miss Sheila, man.

I missed people.

I moved up.

I need to go over with you about the upcoming inspection.

I never know what to say to you.

I quit.

I quit.

I said human interaction.

I said.

I saw him up here on the hill by himself. Utterly free.

I see one of these tigers is 17 years of age?

I see you working in a field, in Bolivia,

I shall try to start over.

I slipped on the roof and banged it.

I started questioning my entire being back there on the 405.

I take Visa. I prefer MasterCard.

I talked to MacCready. Hello, children.

I think I'll just find my pillow.

I think it's time.

I think so.

I think we should give you an online column.

I think we're jumpin' the gun.

I thought this was a dream come true for us!

I thought this was...

I thought, I thought, I thought...

I thought, maybe...

I told you...

I understand, but we're not there yet.

I want everyone to stay off their walkies.

I want to get a shot of that.

I want to make his enclosure bigger.

I want to see you here opening day.

I want you to know, I think you're incredibly pretty.

I was named after a dog named Dylan.

I was walkin' by.

I will, I'll kill him.

I wish Dylan had come with us. This is fun.

I wish Dylan were here, too.

I wish we could tell Mom that.

I would love to teach you how to shave!

I... No, no, no, no! Wait! Solomon!

I'd make that first priority, as well.

I'd never gone and talked to a total stranger before.

I'd say you're lookin' at about a buck fifty here.

I'll be open by July.

I'll be taking notes in preparation for the actual inspection.

I'll call Kelly.

I'll cut off his head with a sword.

I'll get a close up on your nose.

I'll kill him without a thought.

I'll kill him!

I'll kill him.

I'll pay whatever it takes!

I'll take this side of the hill!

I'm 28. I never go out.

I'm fine with my squeaky window, Mr. Mee.

I'm glad you're excited about it.

I'm goin' for it.

I'm goin' home.

I'm goin' home.

I'm gonna be honest with you.

I'm gonna distract him from the other side of this enclosure

I'm gonna have to go take a look around.

I'm gonna live here. I'm gonna keep you.

I'm gonna say this one more time, buddy.

I'm guessing that Rosie was more like your wife and Dylan's more like you

I'm here every day.

I'm here for a pop by, Mr. Mee.

I'm just gonna take a little walk and wrap my brain around this one.

I'm never talkin' to you again, you little asshole!

I'm not gettin' after anything like that.

I'm not good with people.

I'm not lettin' you out of the car till I get a new word.

I'm not sure if all Dwyer's clothes fit him

I'm not takin' one for the team, if that's what you're gettin' after.

I'm pathetic!

I'm saying, we just let him live for a couple more weeks.

I'm sick of sympathy.

I'm so disappointed in you.

I'm so glad you're open.

I'm sorry I brought you out to the sticks.

I'm sorry I messed up the box of snakes.

I'm sorry that you didn't get more of a childhood, man.

I'm sorry that your mother got sick when she did.

I'm sorry. Mister! Your bulbs.

I'm sure I'll have plenty of reports.

I'm tellin' you the truth.

I'm the same way.

I'm tryin' to figure it out. There's no manual for what happened.

I'm worried Lily's gonna hurt Dylan.

I'm your fan, man. Don't you know that by now?

I'm... I've had it with whatever.

I've been an adventure addict my whole life.

I've been checking his bills.

I've been coming here long before you.

I've been with him for 13 years.

If anybody has any problem, I don't want to hear about it

If I can get an inspection set for the end of June, right?

If I wasn't wearing this suit, I would be dead in an instant!

If Katherine were here, she would have come up with

If no one buys this property soon,

If only I could talk to her about getting over her.

If the paper goes down or gets sold, you'll still be safe.

If you don't go to any of the places where you and Katherine used to go.

If you focused as much on your homework

If you had to choose between people and animals, really quick,

In fact, I rather enjoy it.

In some quarters, sympathy would be considered the appropriate response.

In the current economic environment,

In the front of their two inch canines.

In the trunk of this car is haddock.

In time, then.

In time. In time.

Insane debt!

IPocalypse.

Is butter worth your dad driving 18 miles

Is going to care and maintain these endangered animals.

Is it time?

Is just a hint of what's yet to come!

Is she a stunner? I mean, is that what they call a stunner now?

It all goes downhill very fast.

It always was.

It breaks my heart.

It doesn't work like that.

It fell. Okay, get it.

It has complications to it, Mr. Mee.

It has guided me my entire life.

It hurts me to tell you this.

It is in the center console.

It is the best job in the world.

It just turns out that she's here, too.

It says, Listen to your heart, not your brother.

It started out as mine, but she kind of adopted it.

It was a Category 4 storm.

It was kind of their fault if you think about it.

It was like Altered States. I saw an iguana and a dwarf Indian.

It's a bad idea. Let me call you back.

It's a little dark.

It's a little high, 'cause somebody had them deliver on a Saturday.

It's a little high, 'cause somebody had them deliver on a Saturday.

It's a lot of work, but I think I can do it.

It's a lot to take on. All of us.

It's a new day for you, Mr. B.

It's a real fun party.

It's a shame about the new boss, huh?

It's a weird house.

It's a zoo.

It's a zoo.

It's a zoo. I'm moving to a zoo.

It's a...

It's about Rosie, man.

It's all good.

It's all right. It doesn't hurt that bad.

It's been the best one of all because it's personal.

It's causing insidious harm or ruin.

It's cold.

It's going to happen.

It's gonna be very hard to find rolling hills in the city.

It's gonna happen.

It's good, right? I mean, I think it could be a series,

It's great. I get it.

It's just not a great time for me.

It's just that he's a fortune to get here and...

It's just that it says Rosemoor Animal Park.

It's just us, Mr. Mee.

It's just... it's just too bad.

It's lasagna. Dinner for three.

It's not about where an adventure ends,

It's only February right now.

It's only two zebras.

It's our old friend.

It's really well worn.

It's Rhonda. She's leavin' for some job in Mexico

It's the most dangerous animal in the forest.

It's the wrong day for this to be happening, man.

It's Walter Ferris.

It's your dream!

Just be yourself. This one's for Spar.

Just can't get a handle on it.

Just give me one second.

Just knowing you, Rosie, right now,

Just like Sheila did.

Just make her a nice zoo screen saver and she'll be just as happy.

Just set it up. What else do we have?

Just, literally 20 seconds of just embarrassing bravery.

Keep MacCready away from him. We don't need any bloodshed today.

Kelly and maybe even get MacCready.

Kelly, how's it looking for the giraffes?

Kelly. Benjamin.

Knock it off! You misheard me!

Know what? it's all about new. People love new.

Ladybugs.

Lam not!

Last item.

Let that sweatshirt start over.

Let's go see Solomon's enclosure.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's just hang out.

Let's not rush into things. Let's not...

Let's shave!

Let's vote.

Let's... Let's just take it all in first.

Like the killer bees.

Like they do in the wild.

Like you were talking about cornflakes.

Like...

Listen, you're not talkin' to 'em correctly, yet, boss.

Listen.

Little Dom's, the coffee shop, that... That's a big one.

Long day for you, Ben?

Long day for you.
