[Upbeat music plays]
The tall iron gates leading to the Shelter are open. On the path to the Shelter, a young boy with short brown hair stands beside a white cow with brown spots. The boy wears blue overalls and a white tee shirt.
[Mooing]
The brown-haired boy says, HUH?
[Animal squeaks]
In the veterinary clinic, Tommy and Audrey stand facing each other. Audrey’s dad stands by an examination table. Tommy holds an orange knapsack, and Audrey unzips it. They both smile.
[Zipper squeaks]
Audrey says, MM-HMM.
Audrey’s dad asks, SO WHAT DO YOU TWO
HAVE PLANNED FOR TODAY?
Audrey’s dad puts a tongue depressor in a sloth’s mouth.
[Squeak, clank, happy music plays]
Audrey says, WE'VE GOT FULL SCHEDULE.
FIRST, AN EXCURSION
INTO THE JUNGLE,
THEN A PICNIC BESIDE THE POND,
AND THEN TO FINISH—
[Doorbell rings]
Audrey and Tommy say, HMM?
As Audrey drops bottles towards the knapsack, Tommy lifts his arms and the knapsack. The bottles fall on the floor.
[Clattering]
Tommy says, I'LL GO SEE WHO IT IS!
Audrey says, MM.
Tommy opens the clinic door.
[Click, mooing, birds chirp]
Tommy says, OH?
The brown-haired boy says, HELLO.
THIS IS A VETERINARY CLINIC,
RIGHT?
Tommy says, UH... UH, YEAH.
[Footsteps patter]
Audrey and her dad look through the doorway.
Audrey says, WOW! LOOK HOW CUTE SHE IS!
The brown-haired boy says, MY NAME'S QUENTIN.
I LIVE AT THE FARM
RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.
AND THIS IS PASTELLE, OUR COW.
[Mooing]
The brown-haired boy, Quentin, says,
SHE HASN'T BEEN FEELING WELL.
MY PARENTS ASKED ME
TO BRING HER HERE SO YOU COULD
HAVE A LOOK AT HER.
Audrey rubs Pastelle’s chin.
Audrey says, HELLO, PASTELLE.
OH, WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU?
YOU LOOK A LITTLE TIRED.
[Rustling, birds chirp]
Quentin asks, CAN YOU HELP HER?
SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND
IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
I KNOW THAT'S A LITTLE STRANGE,
BUT IT'S TRUE.
Audrey says, NO, NO!
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
MY BEST FRIEND IS A GORILLA.
Tommy raises an eyebrow.
[Mooing, laughter, Tommy clears his throat, upbeat music plays]
Audrey’s dad says, NO PROBLEM.
I'LL HAVE A LOOK AT HER
ONCE I'M DONE EXAMINING RINA.
BUT FIRST, I'LL HAVE TO FIND HER.
Audrey says, DON'T WORRY, DAD.
WE'LL FIND RINA!
YOU CAN EXAMINE PASTELLE
WHILE YOU WAIT.
[Moo]
Tommy says, AH! BUT WHAT ABOUT
OUR EXCURSION?
Audrey says, DON'T WORRY, WE'LL GO LATER.
COME WITH US, QUENTIN!
IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU GET
TO SEE A REAL RHINOCEROS!
Quentin says, AH!
[He giggles, laughter, upbeat music plays]
Audrey runs past Quentin, and he follows her. Tommy dashes from the doorway behind them.
Tommy shouts, HEY, WAIT FOR ME!
[Moo, Audrey’s dad chuckles]
In the greenhouse, Audrey pushes branches on bushes aside and reveals a small rhinoceros sleeping in a mud pool. Water flows from a stone lion’s mouth on a fountain by the mud.
[Birds chirp, Quentin gasps]
Audrey says, QUENTIN, THIS IS RINA,
A RHINOCEROS FROM SUMATRA.
Audrey and Quentin step through the gap between the bushes. Audrey lets go of the bushes, and Tommy runs into the branches.
[Thunk, exclamation]
Quentin says, SHE'D GET ALONG WELL
WITH MY PIGS.
THEY LOVE TO TAKE NAPS
IN THE MUD, TOO.
Tommy joins Quentin and Audrey beside the mud pool.
[Footsteps rustle]
Audrey says, ALRIGHT,
IT'S TIME TO BRING HER TO DAD!
Tommy says, HMM? BUT HOW?
WE CAN'T REACH HER.
SHE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MUD!
Audrey says, OH, SURE, WE CAN.
Audrey jumps into the mud.
[Splashing]
Audrey says, YAH! COME ON, WAKE UP, RINA!
NAPTIME'S OVER!
Rina rolls over onto her back.
[Splashing]
Quentin says, UH...
Audrey says, HMM?
Quentin asks, UH, CAN I TRY SOMETHING?
[Birds chirp, grunting]
Tommy says, YOU KNOW SHE'S A WILD RHINO,
RIGHT, NOT A DOMESTIC PIG?
Quentin says, I KNOW.
Quentin walks into the mud.
[Splashing]
Quentin says, RINA, GET UP!
Rina wakes up and follows Quentin out of the mud. She eats food out of his hand.
[Quentin clicks his tongue, splashing, Rina grunts]
Audrey exclaims, WOW! HOW DID YOU DO THAT?
Quentin says, THAT'S HOW WE DO IT
ON THE FARM.
I'M PROUD OF YOU, RINA.
[Rina grunts, footsteps rustle]
Tommy says, WE NEED TO BRING RINA BACK
TO YOUR DAD, AUDREY.
C'MON, LET'S GO.
Rina jumps up and down in the mud.
[Audrey and Quentin laugh, Rina squeaks, splashing, Tommy grumbles]
[Upbeat music plays]
Walking amongst the trees, Audrey leads Quentin, Rina, and Tommy. Tommy watches Audrey and Quentin with narrowed eyes.
[Footsteps rustle]
Audrey says, THIS IS SO COOL!
I'VE NEVER MET ANYONE
WHO UNDERSTANDS ANIMALS
AS WELL AS I DO.
Tommy says, HEY, I UNDERSTAND THEM WELL,
TOO! I HAVE AN ENCYCLOPEDIA AT HOME.
AHA! FOR EXAMPLE,
THAT RIGHT THERE IS A WOMBAT!
THEY'RE SMALL MAMMALS
WHO GENERALLY WEIGH
BETWEEN 15 AND 40 KILOS.
THEY'RE HERBIVORES AND--
[Whoosh]
Audrey and Quentin look up at a parrot on a vine.
[Squawk]
Audrey says, THIS IS TOUPIE.
SHE'S A PARROT.
CAREFUL AROUND HER.
SHE LOVES
PICKING PEOPLE'S POCKETS
WHEN THEY AREN'T LOOKING!
[Audrey and Quentin laugh, Tommy grumbles]
Audrey pets Toupie.
[Squawking]
Jack peers out from the middle of a bush.
[Leaves rustle]
Audrey says, HMM?
Jack says, OOH-OOH-OOH!
Audrey says, HELLO, JACK.
Jack stands up. His shadow falls over Audrey and Quentin.
[Jack grunts, leaves rustle, bright music plays]
Quentin says, HOLY COW!
IS THAT A REAL GORILLA?!
Audrey says, YUP!
AND HE'S MY BEST FRIEND
IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
Tommy asks, WHAT ABOUT ME?
THAT'S TWICE YOU'VE SAID THAT.
Audrey says, TOMMY IS ALSO MY BEST FRIEND.
Tommy says, MM-HMM-HMM.
Quentin walks towards Jack.
[Footsteps rustle]
Tommy says, DON'T FORGET
HE'S A WILD ANIMAL,
SO YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL.
IT'LL TAKE A FEW DAYS FOR HIM
TO SEE YOU AS A FRIEND.
Jack sniffs Quentin.
[Jack ooks, Quentin exclaims, upbeat music plays]
Audrey says, OH, DON'T WORRY.
IT'S OKAY, JACK.
QUENTIN IS A FRIEND.
[Birds chirp, sniffing]
Jack moves his fingers on top of Quentin’s head.
Quentin says nervously, HMM?
[Jack grunts, scratching]
Quentin asks, UH, WHAT'S HE DOING?
[Audrey laughs]
Audrey says, HE'S TRYING TO LOOK FOR LICE!
IT MEANS HE'S ADOPTED YOU
AS HIS OWN.
Jack puts his arm around Quentin and hugs him happily.
[Upbeat music plays, rustling]
Quentin says, OH! YEAH, HE SEEMS
TO REALLY LIKE ME.
[Quentin laughs, Tommy sighs grumpily]
Audrey’s dad and Pastelle stand in front of the veterinary clinic. Quentin, Audrey, Rina, and Tommy arrive. Tommy walks behind Rina with narrowed eyes.
[Footsteps rustle, Pastelle moos]
Audrey says, AND WE'RE BACK!
HOW'S THE PATIENT?
[Moo, gentle music plays]
Audrey’s dad says, I HAVE GREAT NEWS!
PASTELLE WAS JUST HAVING
SOME STOMACH PAIN.
SHE SHOULD BE GOOD AS NEW
TOMORROW.
Quentin says sadly, AH... THAT'S GREAT.
Audrey asks, HEY, WHAT'S WRONG?
AREN'T YOU HAPPY?
Quentin says, OH, YEAH, OF COURSE.
PASTELLE'S HEALTHY.
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
I'M JUST A LITTLE SAD
BECAUSE YOUR SHELTER'S SO COOL.
I'D HAVE LOVED TO HAVE STAYED
AND SEEN MORE.
Tommy pushes Quentin forward.
[Rustling, Quentin exclaims]
Tommy says, AH, YES, IT'S REALLY SAD.
ALRIGHT, SEE YOU LATER!
[Birds chirp]
Audrey says, WAIT!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO YET!
CAN YOU A LEAST STAY
FOR THE REST OF THE DAY?
Quentin asks, REALLY?
Tommy asks, SERIOUSLY?!
Quentin says, I'D REALLY LOVE TO,
BUT I NEED TO MAKE SURE
I GET PASTELLE BACK TO THE FARM.
BUT THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
AND THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME
TO LOOK AT MY COW, SIR.
Audrey’s dad says, NO PROBLEM, QUENTIN.
YOU'RE WELCOME HERE ANYTIME.
Audrey says, OKAY, WELL,
WE'LL SEE YOU SOON.
BYE-BYE, PASTELLE!
Audrey waves.
[Moo, footsteps rustle]
Quentin says, BYE, EVERYONE!
COME ON, PASTELLE.
Audrey says, QUENTIN'S SUPER SWEET,
ISN'T HE?
Tommy says, YEAH, HE'S COOL. LET'S GO!
[Audrey giggles, footsteps rustle]
Tommy says, WE STILL HAVE TIME
FOR OUR PICNIC BY THE POND!
At night, the crescent moon glows over the Shelter.
[Crickets chirp, gentle music plays]
The sun rises over the Shelter.
[Rooster calls]
Tommy rides his red bicycle towards the clinic. He hops off and pushes it forward, walking into Pastelle.
[Creaking, rustling]
Tommy says, OOF! PASTELLE?
[Moo]
Tommy asks, WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE AGAIN?
[Moo, gentle music plays]
Audrey walks out of the clinic.
Audrey says, HEY, TOMMY.
UNFORTUNATELY, PASTELLE'S
STILL NOT FEELING WELL.
BUT THERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS.
QUENTIN IS BACK!
Quentin walks out of the clinic and waves at Tommy.
[Footsteps rustle]
Quentin says, HEY THERE, TOMMY!
Audrey’s dad pokes his head out of a clinic window.
Audrey’s dad says, I CAN HAVE ANOTHER LOOK
WHEN I'M DONE WITH BABOU.
GO HAVE SOME FUN, KIDS!
[Upbeat music plays, moo]
Tommy says sarcastically, I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE
THE TIME OF OUR LIVES.
Quentin says, SO CAN WE GO BACK
IN THE GREENHOUSE?
I WANNA SEE EVERY ANIMAL HERE!
Audrey winks and says, ABSOLUTELY. LET'S DO IT!
[Audrey and Quentin laugh, birds chirp]
Audrey and Quentin run, and Tommy walks behind them.
Tommy grumbles, AH! HMM...
Pastelle chases them.
[Moo]
Audrey says, OH, LOOK!
PASTELLE WANTS TO COME, TOO!
GOOD IDEA!
I'M SURE A LITTLE WALK
WILL DO HER SOME GOOD!
[Footsteps rustle]
Tommy comments, SHE'S SURE GOT A LOT OF ENERGY
FOR A SICK COW.
[Chiming]
Inside the greenhouse, Quentin says, WHOA! OH!
WE DON'T GET EXOTIC PLANTS
LIKE THESE ON THE FARM.
DO WE, PASTELLE?
[Footsteps rustle, birds chirp]
Tommy repeats, WE DON'T GET EXOTIC PLANTS.
GNA, GNA, GNA...
Audrey asks, OH, WHAT'S THAT, TOMMY?
Tommy says, GNA, GNA, GNA...
UH, NOTHING! NOTHING IMPORTANT.
I WAS TALKING TO A, UH, UH...
Tommy looks down and sees a blue Iguana.
[Iguana hisses]
Tommy says, THIS IGUANA! HEH-HEH.
Tommy picks up the Iguana and runs to Quentin. Pastelle grazes in the grass.
[Footsteps rustle, upbeat music plays]
Tommy says, LOOK, QUENTIN.
HE'S REALLY SLIMY AND GROSS!
CHECK IT OUT!
[Birds chirp]
Quentin says, OH, WOW! A REAL IGUANA!
SO COOL TO SEE ONE UP CLOSE!
HE REALLY IS QUITE THE SPECIMEN!
COOCHIE-COOCHIE-COUCHIE-COO!
Quentin pats the Iguana on its head.
[Iguana grumbles, tapping]
Tommy says, HMM?
Pastelle stares wide-eyed at the Iguana. She bolts, knocking Tommy down.
[Pastelle bellows, smack, Tommy shouts,]
Quentin shouts, AH! PASTELLE!
Pastelle hides her head in a bush and trembles.
[Rustling, groaning]
Quentin says, OH! IT'S OKAY, PASTELLE.
YOU'RE OKAY.
[Mooing]
Quentin asks, HEY, TOMMY, ARE YOU OKAY?
Tommy takes the Iguana off his head and puts it on the ground.
[Thump]
Tommy says, MM... I'LL BE FINE,
BUT KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR COW
SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN!
Audrey asks, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
THAT IGUANA REALLY SCARED
PASTELLE.
[Bright music plays, birds chirp, rustling]
Tommy says, YEAH, I SAW THAT,
BUT SHE HAS NO BUSINESS HERE
IF SHE'S SCARED OF EVERYTHING!
Quentin and Pastelle walk to Tommy and Audrey.
[Moo, birds chirp, footsteps rustle]
Quentin says, I THINK TOMMY'S RIGHT, AUDREY.
Audrey says, WELL, IF YOU THINK SO,
GO ON WITHOUT ME.
I'LL BRING PASTELLE BACK
AND MEET BACK UP WITH YOU
IN A BIT. SEE YOU SOON!
Audrey leads Pastelle away from Tommy and Quentin.
[Mooing, footsteps rustle]
Quentin says, ALRIGHT, WHADDYA SAY?
SHOULD WE CARRY ON
WITH THE TOUR?
[Quentin chuckles, Tommy grumbles]
Quentin says, HMM?
Tommy walks forward with narrowed eyes. Quentin runs and catches up.
[Upbeat music plays]
Tommy says unenthusiastically, OKAY, RIGHT OVER THERE
IS A TREE.
Quentin says, WOW!
Tommy says, AND THERE ARE SOME BIRDS.
Quentin says, THAT'S AWESOME!
Tommy says, AND THAT'S AN ANTHILL.
Quentin says, WICKED!
Tommy says, THERE. YOU'VE SEEN EVERYTHING.
Quentin catches up to Tommy. Quentin crouches down. He reaches up and puts a hand on Tommy’s shoulder. Tommy arches his eyebrow.
[Panting, laughing]
Quentin says, YOU'RE SO FUNNY, TOMMY!
AND YOU REALLY DO KNOW A LOT
ABOUT ANIMALS.
Tommy pushes Quentin’s hand off his shoulder and turns to face him.
[Whoosh]
Tommy says, THAT'S IT!
YOU CAN CUT THE ACT NOW.
I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING
TO STEAL AUDREY!
BUT IT'S NOT GONNA WORK!
SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND
AND NOT YOURS! OKAY?!
Quentin says, WHAT? NO, YOU'RE WRONG!
I'M NOT TRYING
TO STEAL YOUR FRIEND.
I JUST LIKE SPENDING TIME
WITH HER. AND YOU, TOO.
THAT'S ALL IT IS! I PROMISE!
Tommy says, WELL, I'M SORRY,
BUT I DON'T LIKE SPENDING TIME
WITH YOU!
Audrey says, WHAT?!
Audrey swings on a vine and lands between Tommy and Quentin.
[Creaking]
Audrey asks, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU, TOMMY?
WHY ARE YOU BEING SO MEAN
TO QUENTIN?
[Birds chirp]
Tommy asks, WELL, WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS
JUMPING TO HIS DEFENCE?!
IF YOU LIKE HIM SO MUCH,
WHY DON'T YOU MAKE HIM
YOUR BEST FRIEND?!
Quentin moves between Audrey and Tommy.
[Whoosh]
Quentin says, NO! STOP IT! THIS IS MY FAULT.
I SHOULD GO.
Audrey says, NO, YOU SHOULD STAY!
Tommy says, FINE, I GET IT!
I'M THE ONE WHO SHOULD LEAVE!
Tommy walks away from Audrey and Quentin.
[Crash, leaves rustle, birds call]
Tommy says, OW!
I FORGOT THE EXIT'S THAT WAY.
Quentin says, HMM?
Audrey says, MM-MM.
By the gates leading to the Shelter, Audrey’s dad pets Pastelle.
[Audrey’s dad hums, Pastelle moos]
Audrey’s dad says, HMM?
Tommy walks to his bicycle and puts on his helmet.
[Click, birds chirp, footsteps rustle]
Tommy says, HMM.
Audrey’s dad says, LEAVING ALREADY, TOMMY?
EVERYTHING OKAY?
Tommy says, YUP, I'M FINE.
Audrey’s dad says, HMM?
[Gentle music plays]
Tommy asks, UH, DID YOU LOOK AT PASTELLE?
IT MUST BE PRETTY SERIOUS
IF SHE HAD TO COME BACK TODAY.
Audrey’s dad says, ACTUALLY, I GAVE HER
A VERY THOROUGH EXAM AND
COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY QUENTIN BROUGHT HER BACK.
Tommy says, HMM! I KNEW IT!
Tommy drops his bicycle and runs towards the greenhouse.
[Clatter, mooing]
Audrey’s dad says, HMM?
In the greenhouse, Quentin and Audrey sit cross-legged by a stream.
[Birds chirp, water gurgles, gentle music plays]
Quentin says, HMM... I FEEL TERRIBLE
YOU TWO GOT INTO A FIGHT.
Audrey says, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, QUENTIN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOT INTO HIM.
HE'S NEVER BEEN LIKE THAT BEFORE.
Quentin says, MM... HMM.
[Gasps]
Quentin points and says, OH! WHAT'S THAT?!
Audrey says, THAT'S ALTO.
HE'S AN ARGENTINIAN HORNED FROG.
Alto catches a fly with his tongue.
[Buzzing, insects chitter]
Quentin says, WOW!
ANOTHER INCREDIBLE SPECIES!
Audrey says, TOMMY COULD TELL YOU
A LOT OF COOL FACTS ABOUT THEM.
HE KNOWS SO MUCH ABOUT FROGS AND...
[Audrey sighs sadly]
Quentin says, HMM.
HEY, I'M SURE IT'LL WORK OUT.
Audrey says, HMM?
Quentin says, HE'S PROBABLY OVER IT.
Audrey says, MM-HMM.
Tommy clenches his fists and teeth as he stomps through the greenhouse forest.
[Footsteps rustle, Tommy grumbles]
Tommy grumbles, YOU LITTLE LIAR!
YOU BETTER BE READY TO EXPLAI...
AH!
Tommy trips.
[Crashing]
Tommy stands up.
[Whoosh]
Tommy shouts, AND I'LL HAVE NO MERCY!
Tommy slips and falls backwards.
[Exclaiming, crashing]
A small tree branch falls and bounces off Tommy’s helmet.
[Clattering]
Tommy says, OH!
[Grumbles]
Tommy says, YOU'RE NOT GETTING RID OF ME!
HUH?! HEY, QUENTIN!
Tommy takes off his helmet and hurls it to the ground.
[Thump]
Quentin says, UH...
Alto jumps into the water.
[Bright music plays, Alto croaks, splash]
Audrey shouts happily, TOMMY!
Tommy shouts, I JUST LEARNED
SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING
ABOUT OUR NEW FRIEND HERE.
YOU LIED!
PASTELLE ISN'T SICK AT ALL!
IT WAS JUST AN EXCUSE
SO YOU COULD COME BACK
AND STEAL AUDREY! ADMIT IT!
Quentin sweats.
[Quentin mumbles]
Audrey says, ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT!
ENOUGH OF THIS!
YOU NEED TO LET THIS GO!
HE'S DONE NOTHING WRONG
AND HE'S GOT NOTHING TO HIDE.
RIGHT, QUENTIN?
[Gentle music plays]
Quentin says, UH... WHEN I MET YOU BOTH
YESTERDAY, I JUST THOUGHT
YOU WERE REALLY COOL
AND THE SHELTER WAS INCREDIBLE,
AS WELL, SO I SAID
PASTELLE WAS STILL SICK
SO I COULD COME BACK.
I NEVER SHOULD'VE LIED.
Tommy points at Quentin.
Tommy shouts, AHA!
Audrey says, HMM.
Quentin wipes tears from his eyes.
Quentin says, I'LL GO FIND PASTELLE
AND LEAVE. SO SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.
Quentin runs away from Tommy and Audrey.
[Quentin sobs]
Tommy and Audrey say, MM...
Tommy’s shoulders slump.
Tommy says, WOW. I... I THOUGHT
I'D BE HAPPY TO SEE HIM LEAVE,
BUT MAYBE I WAS TOO HARD ON HIM.
HE JUST WANTED TO PLAY WITH US.
Audrey says, DON'T WORRY, TOMMY.
[Alto croaks]
Tommy and Audrey say, HMM?
Alto hops into Audrey’s hand.
[Alto croaks, water splashes]
Audrey says, HMM.
I KNOW HOW WE CAN FIX THIS.
[Audrey giggles, Alto croaks]
Tommy says, HMM?
Outside, Quentin and Pastelle walk towards the open gates of the Shelter.
[Footsteps rustle, Pastelle moos, Alto croaks]
Quentin says, HMM?
Alto hops to Quentin.
[Alto croaks]
Quentin says, HELLO THERE.
YOU OKAY?
YOU SHOULDN'T BE OUT HERE
ALL ALONE.
Tommy says, YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT!
I DON'T THINK HE WANTS YOU
TO LEAVE YET.
[Pastelle moos, gentle music plays]
Quentin says, MM-HMM?
Tommy says, I'M SORRY, QUENTIN.
I THINK I JUST LET MY JEALOUSY
GET THE BEST OF ME.
AUDREY CAN MAKE FRIENDS
WITH WHOEVER SHE LIKES!
SO CAN I!
[Alto croaks]
Quentin says, I HEAR YOU'RE AN EXPERT
ON FROGS.
CAN YOU TELL ME SOMETHING COOL
ABOUT THIS ONE?
[Birds chirp, upbeat music plays]
Audrey says, BETTER THAN THAT,
HE CAN SHOW YOU ALL THE ANIMALS
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN YET!
WE HAVE A GOLDEN LION TAMARIN!
WE ALSO HAVE A SLOTH!
AND WE EVEN HAVE
BABY KOMODO DRAGONS!
Quentin puts Alto on the ground.
Quentin says, I'D LOVE TO MEET
ALL THOSE ANIMALS,
BUT I HAVE AN EVEN BETTER IDEA!
WHY DON'T YOU BOTH COME BACK
TO THE FARM?
[Alto croaks]
Tommy hops excitedly from foot to foot.
Tommy asks, CAN WE REALLY?
I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED
OF VISITING A FARM!
Quentin says, IT'LL BE GREAT!
AND I HAVE TONS OF ANIMALS
I'LL BE ABLE TO SHOW YOU.
WE HAVE PIGS, DONKEYS, RABBITS--
[Pastelle moos, upbeat music continues]
Audrey says, DON'T WORRY, PASTELLE.
WE'LL MAKE SURE TO COME SAY HI
TO THE COWS TOO!

I KNOW THAT'S A LITTLE STRANGE,
BUT IT'S TRUE.
Audrey says, NO, NO!
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
MY BEST FRIEND IS A GORILLA.
Tommy raises an eyebrow.
[Mooing, laughter, Tommy clears his throat, upbeat music plays]
Audrey’s dad says, NO PROBLEM.
I'LL HAVE A LOOK AT HER
ONCE I'M DONE EXAMINING RINA.
BUT FIRST, I'LL HAVE TO FIND HER.
Audrey says, DON'T WORRY, DAD.
WE'LL FIND RINA!
YOU CAN EXAMINE PASTELLE
WHILE YOU WAIT.
[Moo]
Tommy says, AH! BUT WHAT ABOUT
OUR EXCURSION?
Audrey says, DON'T WORRY, WE'LL GO LATER.
COME WITH US, QUENTIN!
IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU GET
TO SEE A REAL RHINOCEROS!
Quentin says, AH!
[He giggles, laughter, upbeat music plays]
Audrey runs past Quentin, and he follows her. Tommy dashes from the doorway behind them.
Tommy shouts, HEY, WAIT FOR ME!
[Moo, Audrey’s dad chuckles]
In the greenhouse, Audrey pushes branches on bushes aside and reveals a small rhinoceros sleeping in a mud pool. Water flows from a stone lion’s mouth on a fountain by the mud.
[Birds chirp, Quentin gasps]
Audrey says, QUENTIN, THIS IS RINA,
A RHINOCEROS FROM SUMATRA.
Audrey and Quentin step through the gap between the bushes. Audrey lets go of the bushes, and Tommy runs into the branches.
[Thunk, exclamation]
Quentin says, SHE'D GET ALONG WELL
WITH MY PIGS.
THEY LOVE TO TAKE NAPS
IN THE MUD, TOO.
Tommy joins Quentin and Audrey beside the mud pool.
[Footsteps rustle]
Audrey says, ALRIGHT,
IT'S TIME TO BRING HER TO DAD!
Tommy says, HMM? BUT HOW?
WE CAN'T REACH HER.
SHE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MUD!
Audrey says, OH, SURE, WE CAN.
Audrey jumps into the mud.
[Splashing]
Audrey says, YAH! COME ON, WAKE UP, RINA!
NAPTIME'S OVER!
Rina rolls over onto her back.
[Splashing]
Quentin says, UH...
Audrey says, HMM?
Quentin asks, UH, CAN I TRY SOMETHING?
[Birds chirp, grunting]
Tommy says, YOU KNOW SHE'S A WILD RHINO,
RIGHT, NOT A DOMESTIC PIG?
Quentin says, I KNOW.
Quentin walks into the mud.
[Splashing]
Quentin says, RINA, GET UP!
Rina wakes up and follows Quentin out of the mud. She eats food out of his hand.
[Quentin clicks his tongue, splashing, Rina grunts]
Audrey exclaims, WOW! HOW DID YOU DO THAT?
Quentin says, THAT'S HOW WE DO IT
ON THE FARM.
I'M PROUD OF YOU, RINA.
[Rina grunts, footsteps rustle]
Tommy says, WE NEED TO BRING RINA BACK
TO YOUR DAD, AUDREY.
C'MON, LET'S GO.
Rina jumps up and down in the mud.
[Audrey and Quentin laugh, Rina squeaks, splashing, Tommy grumbles]
[Upbeat music plays]
Walking amongst the trees, Audrey leads Quentin, Rina, and Tommy. Tommy watches Audrey and Quentin with narrowed eyes.
[Footsteps rustle]
Audrey says, THIS IS SO COOL!
I'VE NEVER MET ANYONE
WHO UNDERSTANDS ANIMALS
AS WELL AS I DO.
Tommy says, HEY, I UNDERSTAND THEM WELL,
TOO! I HAVE AN ENCYCLOPEDIA AT HOME.
AHA! FOR EXAMPLE,
THAT RIGHT THERE IS A WOMBAT!
THEY'RE SMALL MAMMALS
WHO GENERALLY WEIGH
BETWEEN 15 AND 40 KILOS.
THEY'RE HERBIVORES AND--
[Whoosh]
Audrey and Quentin look up at a parrot on a vine.
[Squawk]
Audrey says, THIS IS TOUPIE.
SHE'S A PARROT.
CAREFUL AROUND HER.
SHE LOVES
PICKING PEOPLE'S POCKETS
WHEN THEY AREN'T LOOKING!
[Audrey and Quentin laugh, Tommy grumbles]
Audrey pets Toupie.
[Squawking]
Jack peers out from the middle of a bush.
[Leaves rustle]
Audrey says, HMM?
Jack says, OOH-OOH-OOH!
Audrey says, HELLO, JACK.
Jack stands up. His shadow falls over Audrey and Quentin.
[Jack grunts, leaves rustle, bright music plays]
Quentin says, HOLY COW!
IS THAT A REAL GORILLA?!
Audrey says, YUP!
AND HE'S MY BEST FRIEND
IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
Tommy asks, WHAT ABOUT ME?
THAT'S TWICE YOU'VE SAID THAT.
Audrey says, TOMMY IS ALSO MY BEST FRIEND.
Tommy says, MM-HMM-HMM.
Quentin walks towards Jack.
[Footsteps rustle]
Tommy says, DON'T FORGET
HE'S A WILD ANIMAL,
SO YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL.
IT'LL TAKE A FEW DAYS FOR HIM
TO SEE YOU AS A FRIEND.
Jack sniffs Quentin.
[Jack ooks, Quentin exclaims, upbeat music plays]
Audrey says, OH, DON'T WORRY.
IT'S OKAY, JACK.
QUENTIN IS A FRIEND.
[Birds chirp, sniffing]
Jack moves his fingers on top of Quentin’s head.
Quentin says nervously, HMM?
[Jack grunts, scratching]
Quentin asks, UH, WHAT'S HE DOING?
[Audrey laughs]
Audrey says, HE'S TRYING TO LOOK FOR LICE!
IT MEANS HE'S ADOPTED YOU
AS HIS OWN.
Jack puts his arm around Quentin and hugs him happily.
[Upbeat music plays, rustling]
Quentin says, OH! YEAH, HE SEEMS
TO REALLY LIKE ME.
[Quentin laughs, Tommy sighs grumpily]
Audrey’s dad and Pastelle stand in front of the veterinary clinic. Quentin, Audrey, Rina, and Tommy arrive. Tommy walks behind Rina with narrowed eyes.
[Footsteps rustle, Pastelle moos]
Audrey says, AND WE'RE BACK!
HOW'S THE PATIENT?
[Moo, gentle music plays]
Audrey’s dad says, I HAVE GREAT NEWS!
PASTELLE WAS JUST HAVING
SOME STOMACH PAIN.
SHE SHOULD BE GOOD AS NEW
TOMORROW.
Quentin says sadly, AH... THAT'S GREAT.
Audrey asks, HEY, WHAT'S WRONG?
AREN'T YOU HAPPY?
Quentin says, OH, YEAH, OF COURSE.
PASTELLE'S HEALTHY.
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
I'M JUST A LITTLE SAD
BECAUSE YOUR SHELTER'S SO COOL.
I'D HAVE LOVED TO HAVE STAYED
AND SEEN MORE.
Tommy pushes Quentin forward.
[Rustling, Quentin exclaims]
Tommy says, AH, YES, IT'S REALLY SAD.
ALRIGHT, SEE YOU LATER!
[Birds chirp]
Audrey says, WAIT!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO YET!
CAN YOU A LEAST STAY
FOR THE REST OF THE DAY?
Quentin asks, REALLY?
Tommy asks, SERIOUSLY?!
Quentin says, I'D REALLY LOVE TO,
BUT I NEED TO MAKE SURE
I GET PASTELLE BACK TO THE FARM.
BUT THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
AND THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME
TO LOOK AT MY COW, SIR.
Audrey’s dad says, NO PROBLEM, QUENTIN.
YOU'RE WELCOME HERE ANYTIME.
Audrey says, OKAY, WELL,
WE'LL SEE YOU SOON.
BYE-BYE, PASTELLE!
Audrey waves.
[Moo, footsteps rustle]
Quentin says, BYE, EVERYONE!
COME ON, PASTELLE.
Audrey says, QUENTIN'S SUPER SWEET,
ISN'T HE?
Tommy says, YEAH, HE'S COOL. LET'S GO!
[Audrey giggles, footsteps rustle]
Tommy says, WE STILL HAVE TIME
FOR OUR PICNIC BY THE POND!
At night, the crescent moon glows over the Shelter.
[Crickets chirp, gentle music plays]
The sun rises over the Shelter.
[Rooster calls]
Tommy rides his red bicycle towards the clinic. He hops off and pushes it forward, walking into Pastelle.
[Creaking, rustling]
Tommy says, OOF! PASTELLE?
[Moo]
Tommy asks, WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE AGAIN?
[Moo, gentle music plays]
Audrey walks out of the clinic.
Audrey says, HEY, TOMMY.
UNFORTUNATELY, PASTELLE'S
STILL NOT FEELING WELL.
BUT THERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS.
QUENTIN IS BACK!
Quentin walks out of the clinic and waves at Tommy.
[Footsteps rustle]
Quentin says, HEY THERE, TOMMY!
Audrey’s dad pokes his head out of a clinic window.
Audrey’s dad says, I CAN HAVE ANOTHER LOOK
WHEN I'M DONE WITH BABOU.
GO HAVE SOME FUN, KIDS!
[Upbeat music plays, moo]
Tommy says sarcastically, I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE
THE TIME OF OUR LIVES.
Quentin says, SO CAN WE GO BACK
IN THE GREENHOUSE?
I WANNA SEE EVERY ANIMAL HERE!
Audrey winks and says, ABSOLUTELY. LET'S DO IT!
[Audrey and Quentin laugh, birds chirp]
Audrey and Quentin run, and Tommy walks behind them.
Tommy grumbles, AH! HMM...
Pastelle chases them.
[Moo]
Audrey says, OH, LOOK!
PASTELLE WANTS TO COME, TOO!
GOOD IDEA!
I'M SURE A LITTLE WALK
WILL DO HER SOME GOOD!
[Footsteps rustle]
Tommy comments, SHE'S SURE GOT A LOT OF ENERGY
FOR A SICK COW.
[Chiming]
Inside the greenhouse, Quentin says, WHOA! OH!
WE DON'T GET EXOTIC PLANTS
LIKE THESE ON THE FARM.
DO WE, PASTELLE?
[Footsteps rustle, birds chirp]
Tommy repeats, WE DON'T GET EXOTIC PLANTS.
GNA, GNA, GNA...
Audrey asks, OH, WHAT'S THAT, TOMMY?
Tommy says, GNA, GNA, GNA...
UH, NOTHING! NOTHING IMPORTANT.
I WAS TALKING TO A, UH, UH...
Tommy looks down and sees a blue Iguana.
[Iguana hisses]
Tommy says, THIS IGUANA! HEH-HEH.
Tommy picks up the Iguana and runs to Quentin. Pastelle grazes in the grass.
[Footsteps rustle, upbeat music plays]
Tommy says, LOOK, QUENTIN.
HE'S REALLY SLIMY AND GROSS!
CHECK IT OUT!
[Birds chirp]
Quentin says, OH, WOW! A REAL IGUANA!
SO COOL TO SEE ONE UP CLOSE!
HE REALLY IS QUITE THE SPECIMEN!
COOCHIE-COOCHIE-COUCHIE-COO!
Quentin pats the Iguana on its head.
[Iguana grumbles, tapping]
Tommy says, HMM?
Pastelle stares wide-eyed at the Iguana. She bolts, knocking Tommy down.
[Pastelle bellows, smack, Tommy shouts,]
Quentin shouts, AH! PASTELLE!
Pastelle hides her head in a bush and trembles.
[Rustling, groaning]
Quentin says, OH! IT'S OKAY, PASTELLE.
YOU'RE OKAY.
[Mooing]
Quentin asks, HEY, TOMMY, ARE YOU OKAY?
Tommy takes the Iguana off his head and puts it on the ground.
[Thump]
Tommy says, MM... I'LL BE FINE,
BUT KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR COW
SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN!
Audrey asks, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
THAT IGUANA REALLY SCARED
PASTELLE.
[Bright music plays, birds chirp, rustling]
Tommy says, YEAH, I SAW THAT,
BUT SHE HAS NO BUSINESS HERE
IF SHE'S SCARED OF EVERYTHING!
Quentin and Pastelle walk to Tommy and Audrey.
[Moo, birds chirp, footsteps rustle]
Quentin says, I THINK TOMMY'S RIGHT, AUDREY.
Audrey says, WELL, IF YOU THINK SO,
GO ON WITHOUT ME.
I'LL BRING PASTELLE BACK
AND MEET BACK UP WITH YOU
IN A BIT. SEE YOU SOON!
Audrey leads Pastelle away from Tommy and Quentin.
[Mooing, footsteps rustle]
Quentin says, ALRIGHT, WHADDYA SAY?
SHOULD WE CARRY ON
WITH THE TOUR?
[Quentin chuckles, Tommy grumbles]
Quentin says, HMM?
Tommy walks forward with narrowed eyes. Quentin runs and catches up.
[Upbeat music plays]
Tommy says unenthusiastically, OKAY, RIGHT OVER THERE
IS A TREE.
Quentin says, WOW!
Tommy says, AND THERE ARE SOME BIRDS.
Quentin says, THAT'S AWESOME!
Tommy says, AND THAT'S AN ANTHILL.
Quentin says, WICKED!
Tommy says, THERE. YOU'VE SEEN EVERYTHING.
Quentin catches up to Tommy. Quentin crouches down. He reaches up and puts a hand on Tommy’s shoulder. Tommy arches his eyebrow.
[Panting, laughing]
Quentin says, YOU'RE SO FUNNY, TOMMY!
AND YOU REALLY DO KNOW A LOT
ABOUT ANIMALS.
Tommy pushes Quentin’s hand off his shoulder and turns to face him.
[Whoosh]
Tommy says, THAT'S IT!
YOU CAN CUT THE ACT NOW.
I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING
TO STEAL AUDREY!
BUT IT'S NOT GONNA WORK!
SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND
AND NOT YOURS! OKAY?!
Quentin says, WHAT? NO, YOU'RE WRONG!
I'M NOT TRYING
TO STEAL YOUR FRIEND.
I JUST LIKE SPENDING TIME
WITH HER. AND YOU, TOO.
THAT'S ALL IT IS! I PROMISE!
Tommy says, WELL, I'M SORRY,
BUT I DON'T LIKE SPENDING TIME
WITH YOU!
Audrey says, WHAT?!
Audrey swings on a vine and lands between Tommy and Quentin.
[Creaking]
Audrey asks, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU, TOMMY?
WHY ARE YOU BEING SO MEAN
TO QUENTIN?
[Birds chirp]
Tommy asks, WELL, WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS
JUMPING TO HIS DEFENCE?!
IF YOU LIKE HIM SO MUCH,
WHY DON'T YOU MAKE HIM
YOUR BEST FRIEND?!
Quentin moves between Audrey and Tommy.
[Whoosh]
Quentin says, NO! STOP IT! THIS IS MY FAULT.
I SHOULD GO.
Audrey says, NO, YOU SHOULD STAY!
Tommy says, FINE, I GET IT!
I'M THE ONE WHO SHOULD LEAVE!
Tommy walks away from Audrey and Quentin.
[Crash, leaves rustle, birds call]
Tommy says, OW!
I FORGOT THE EXIT'S THAT WAY.
Quentin says, HMM?
Audrey says, MM-MM.
By the gates leading to the Shelter, Audrey’s dad pets Pastelle.
[Audrey’s dad hums, Pastelle moos]
Audrey’s dad says, HMM?
Tommy walks to his bicycle and puts on his helmet.
[Click, birds chirp, footsteps rustle]
Tommy says, HMM.
Audrey’s dad says, LEAVING ALREADY, TOMMY?
EVERYTHING OKAY?
Tommy says, YUP, I'M FINE.
Audrey’s dad says, HMM?
[Gentle music plays]
Tommy asks, UH, DID YOU LOOK AT PASTELLE?
IT MUST BE PRETTY SERIOUS
IF SHE HAD TO COME BACK TODAY.
Audrey’s dad says, ACTUALLY, I GAVE HER
A VERY THOROUGH EXAM AND
COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY QUENTIN BROUGHT HER BACK.
Tommy says, HMM! I KNEW IT!
Tommy drops his bicycle and runs towards the greenhouse.
[Clatter, mooing]
Audrey’s dad says, HMM?
In the greenhouse, Quentin and Audrey sit cross-legged by a stream.
[Birds chirp, water gurgles, gentle music plays]
Quentin says, HMM... I FEEL TERRIBLE
YOU TWO GOT INTO A FIGHT.
Audrey says, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, QUENTIN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOT INTO HIM.
HE'S NEVER BEEN LIKE THAT BEFORE.
Quentin says, MM... HMM.
[Gasps]
Quentin points and says, OH! WHAT'S THAT?!
Audrey says, THAT'S ALTO.
HE'S AN ARGENTINIAN HORNED FROG.
Alto catches a fly with his tongue.
[Buzzing, insects chitter]
Quentin says, WOW!
ANOTHER INCREDIBLE SPECIES!
Audrey says, TOMMY COULD TELL YOU
A LOT OF COOL FACTS ABOUT THEM.
HE KNOWS SO MUCH ABOUT FROGS AND...
[Audrey sighs sadly]
Quentin says, HMM.
HEY, I'M SURE IT'LL WORK OUT.
Audrey says, HMM?
Quentin says, HE'S PROBABLY OVER IT.
Audrey says, MM-HMM.
Tommy clenches his fists and teeth as he stomps through the greenhouse forest.
[Footsteps rustle, Tommy grumbles]
Tommy grumbles, YOU LITTLE LIAR!
YOU BETTER BE READY TO EXPLAI...
AH!
Tommy trips.
[Crashing]
Tommy stands up.
[Whoosh]
Tommy shouts, AND I'LL HAVE NO MERCY!
Tommy slips and falls backwards.
[Exclaiming, crashing]
A small tree branch falls and bounces off Tommy’s helmet.
[Clattering]
Tommy says, OH!
[Grumbles]
Tommy says, YOU'RE NOT GETTING RID OF ME!
HUH?! HEY, QUENTIN!
Tommy takes off his helmet and hurls it to the ground.
[Thump]
Quentin says, UH...
Alto jumps into the water.
[Bright music plays, Alto croaks, splash]
Audrey shouts happily, TOMMY!
Tommy shouts, I JUST LEARNED
SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING
ABOUT OUR NEW FRIEND HERE.
YOU LIED!
PASTELLE ISN'T SICK AT ALL!
IT WAS JUST AN EXCUSE
SO YOU COULD COME BACK
AND STEAL AUDREY! ADMIT IT!
Quentin sweats.
[Quentin mumbles]
Audrey says, ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT!
ENOUGH OF THIS!
YOU NEED TO LET THIS GO!
HE'S DONE NOTHING WRONG
AND HE'S GOT NOTHING TO HIDE.
RIGHT, QUENTIN?
[Gentle music plays]
Quentin says, UH... WHEN I MET YOU BOTH
YESTERDAY, I JUST THOUGHT
YOU WERE REALLY COOL
AND THE SHELTER WAS INCREDIBLE,
AS WELL, SO I SAID
PASTELLE WAS STILL SICK
SO I COULD COME BACK.
I NEVER SHOULD'VE LIED.
Tommy points at Quentin.
Tommy shouts, AHA!
Audrey says, HMM.
Quentin wipes tears from his eyes.
Quentin says, I'LL GO FIND PASTELLE
AND LEAVE. SO SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.
Quentin runs away from Tommy and Audrey.
[Quentin sobs]
Tommy and Audrey say, MM...
Tommy’s shoulders slump.
Tommy says, WOW. I... I THOUGHT
I'D BE HAPPY TO SEE HIM LEAVE,
BUT MAYBE I WAS TOO HARD ON HIM.
HE JUST WANTED TO PLAY WITH US.
Audrey says, DON'T WORRY, TOMMY.
[Alto croaks]
Tommy and Audrey say, HMM?
Alto hops into Audrey’s hand.
[Alto croaks, water splashes]
Audrey says, HMM.
I KNOW HOW WE CAN FIX THIS.
[Audrey giggles, Alto croaks]
Tommy says, HMM?
Outside, Quentin and Pastelle walk towards the open gates of the Shelter.
[Footsteps rustle, Pastelle moos, Alto croaks]
Quentin says, HMM?
Alto hops to Quentin.
[Alto croaks]
Quentin says, HELLO THERE.
YOU OKAY?
YOU SHOULDN'T BE OUT HERE
ALL ALONE.
Tommy says, YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT!
I DON'T THINK HE WANTS YOU
TO LEAVE YET.
[Pastelle moos, gentle music plays]
Quentin says, MM-HMM?
Tommy says, I'M SORRY, QUENTIN.
I THINK I JUST LET MY JEALOUSY
GET THE BEST OF ME.
AUDREY CAN MAKE FRIENDS
WITH WHOEVER SHE LIKES!
SO CAN I!
[Alto croaks]
Quentin says, I HEAR YOU'RE AN EXPERT
ON FROGS.
CAN YOU TELL ME SOMETHING COOL
ABOUT THIS ONE?
[Birds chirp, upbeat music plays]
Audrey says, BETTER THAN THAT,
HE CAN SHOW YOU ALL THE ANIMALS
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN YET!
WE HAVE A GOLDEN LION TAMARIN!
WE ALSO HAVE A SLOTH!
AND WE EVEN HAVE
BABY KOMODO DRAGONS!
Quentin puts Alto on the ground.
Quentin says, I'D LOVE TO MEET
ALL THOSE ANIMALS,
BUT I HAVE AN EVEN BETTER IDEA!
WHY DON'T YOU BOTH COME BACK
TO THE FARM?
[Alto croaks]
Tommy hops excitedly from foot to foot.
Tommy asks, CAN WE REALLY?
I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED
OF VISITING A FARM!
Quentin says, IT'LL BE GREAT!
AND I HAVE TONS OF ANIMALS
I'LL BE ABLE TO SHOW YOU.
WE HAVE PIGS, DONKEYS, RABBITS--
[Pastelle moos, upbeat music continues]
Audrey says, DON'T WORRY, PASTELLE.
WE'LL MAKE SURE TO COME SAY HI
TO THE COWS TOO!
[Mooing, laughter]
[Upbeat music plays]
