Thug Daddy!

Thug Daddy!

All right.

Thank you.

I wouldn't have missed this for the world, Chief Kukia.

The manhood ceremony and the lion hunt dance are always exciting to see.

You are too much a stranger.

You have gone over to the New East.

Well, there's a lot to be said for the New East.

That is true.

You have saved many of our cows with your magic needle.

We have other ideas, too.

I know.

You are sad because we train warriors to kill the lion and the leopard.

But they slaughter our cattle.

And to our people, cattle is life. But the wildlife is also a treasure Africa

cannot afford to lose.

You are too much like those strangers at Wamero.

You go crazy in the head just like them.

Maybe so.

Say, I didn't seize your son Ngayo.

He is ready for his manhood initiation, isn't he?

Ngayo is out in the bush to kill Latumba.

Latumba? The killer leopard they were hunting over at Tusiwa?

Is he with the hunting party?

No. He hunts alone.

As I did at his age.

And my father before me.

I have no fear, my friend. Any guy who will kill that tumba.

A chief's son must be braver than all the others.

And when he comes back with the kill, he will join the other warriors.

But... He will stand by my side.

A leopard.

Oh, there you are, baby. Just one more day and you'll be out of this cage.

You know it's your own fault Lena Hyrax bites you.

You sum king of the beast.

Well, you know, even funny as you are, Judy and I still miss you.

Don't we, Judy?

So you eat your breakfast and you'll be out of here before you know it.

All right, Judy. You mentioned the word breakfast and there's no stopping it.

Well, we'll see you later, Clarence. Come on, Judy.

He got away just in time. He's lucky he's not dead.

He is dead.

What? He ran away when Latumba attacked.

But, Chief, at least give Ngayo a chance to explain.

My eyes do not lie.

He turned his back like a coward. All right, but let me treat these gashes

before infection sets in. You will not treat.

But, Chief, your own son.

No son of Kikyo is a coward.

I have no son.

He is a woman.

If he dies, he dies. If he lives, let him live like woman. Take him from my

sight.

Treating Gyo like woman?

Gyo get revenge.

Let Simba come.

Kill cows.

Then they remember N 'Gayo.

You are always welcome in O'Sullivan.

My house is yours.

Yes, but apparently no longer your son's. I looked for him this morning,

was gone.

The drums.

Am I hearing them right?

I see you have not forgotten the language of the drums.

No, of course not.

But I can't believe what I'm hearing.

A coward roams the bush.

The other villagers must be warned for their own safety.

Your own son?

My son is dead to me.

Do not take him in.

Do not feed the coward.

Do not trust him with spear.

But he'll starve in the bush.

He is already dead.

How can he die twice?

And you put me down for following the new way.

Well, I've got to be pushing off.

house is your house, my friend.

Will you return to America?

Yes, but first I intend to look for N 'Gayo.

Chief, I... Farewell, Kohari.

Ha!

As I suspected.

Jack, come here. Take a look.

I don't see anything.

Right. There's nothing to see.

Well, good deal.

Tell our dear neighbor, Mr. Hawkins, that his cows don't have anthrax. It

make him happy.

Yeah, it ought to, but I'm afraid it won't.

Why not?

Well, there are some people who are hypochondriacs about themselves, but Mr.

Hawkins is a hypochondriac about his cattle.

He's always convinced that one of his cows is sick.

Leave that alone.

Clarence is still in quarantine. Dad, you know you can't read very well.

I really shouldn't blame you for missing Clarence. We all do.

Say, why don't we go ask Dad and see if we can't get Clarence out a little

sooner, okay?

Let's go.

Mark,

Jack, come here, will you?

Judy, don't. Judy.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Jack,

get the attitude, will you? Yeah. Better get him on the veranda. Yeah, he's

looking to be alive.

And I will not run away from leprosy.

And I am not afraid.

Not coward.

Of course not, Michael.

All right, just take it easy, son. It's water.

Don't be afraid.

I am not afraid of anything.

Easy, easy, easy. What you do is to stop any infection.

Just stop putting any bandages on his back.

I want it to heal from within, but you might give him a clean shirt to keep the

bugs out of him. Right.

Okay, come on. We'll give you a hand.

Take it easy.

He's a guy, not a woman.

Not a child.

Walk on own feet.

Jack, I think this man could use a square meal and a little rest.

All right, I think we can scrounge up something in the kitchen.

Come on.

Mike.

Mike, you know this boy?

Ngayo, Chief Kukia's son.

Over to Sully Village? Just flunked his manhood test.

Yeah, that's what I figured.

What was his punishment?

Kukia banished him to the women's quarters, but he ran away.

They had the drums warning other villagers not to take him in.

Won't they give him a second chance?

I tried to argue with Kukia, but he is a man who puts pride before reason.

I guess I can understand his point of view.

That's good. Cruel? His own father? I mean, Dad, you'd give me a second

If RNG could key his position, honey, I doubt it.

Well, I don't believe you.

It's like the army, Paula.

The tribe has to depend on its warriors.

But he's a young boy.

Well, up our native standards he isn't.

See, you know, he's suffering from some severe traumatic shock. Did you see his

reaction to Judy?

Well, how would you feel if a leopard ripped your back to ribbons? I

that that's not much comfort to a boy whose whole life is based on being

fearless with animals.

Well, can't you do something for him?

Well, we can fix him up physically, but I'm no psychiatrist.

Just depends on how deeply that fear struck.

Well, meanwhile, we can let him stay here a few days. A little rest won't

him, huh? Good.

Now, don't worry, Pauline.

We'll do what we can to help him.

He's just trying to make friends in Gyo.

But I'm afraid I'm manners. I'm very good, though.

Let's shake hands, shall we?

Here.

Come on.

Come on.

How about that?

Judy, this is your friend and my friend in Gyo.

It's all right. It's all right.

You don't have to prove anything to us.

One thing at a time.

After lunch you'll feel even better.

You'll see.

What's the big idea?

N 'Gayo not afraid of anything.

You do not believe in me, do you?

Boy, of all the crazy things to fall for. Be careful with him, Jack.

He's proud and he's hurt. I'd better go after him.

That was brave.

Did you, did Mike?

Oh, I don't think he wanted to hurt us, N 'Gayo.

It's just that you startled him.

You see, animals are sensitive to sound.

Sometimes it will provoke them to charge.

Sometimes it will drive them away.

The trick is to know which is which.

Then we go.

Kill Elephant. No, N 'Gayo. We don't kill him.

But Ivory worth plenty money.

It's worth more to me to see him keep it. After all, it's his bush, too. He

here before we were.

I do not understand.

At Womeru, we try to save animals, not kill them.

I know it's a big mouthful. Don't try to swallow it all at once.

Let's get home, shall we? Time for chow.

Chow.

Food.

And then he said, Nagayo's not afraid of anything.

Except animals.

Dad, he's not a coward. If you'd seen the way he went off the end of that

knowing that he couldn't swim.

Look, you're talking about two different worlds.

I mean, Nagayo could dive off Victoria Falls for all the good it would do him.

Well, the only bravery that counts at a solid village is with animals.

Nagayo's got pride as well as courage.

He's not about to let them walk over him. He ran away to face the starvation

the bush.

He insists he did not run from that leopard marsh. It jumped him from a

And that's not cowardice.

I didn't say he was a coward.

Look, if Magallo had a second chance, he's still in no condition to prove it.

You saw the way he collapsed when Clarence roared.

We didn't even see him. He just heard him.

His fear of animals may well be pathological.

By the way, Mike, Clarence is clear. You can spring him now.

Wait, Dottore.

I've got an idea.

About Magaia? Mm -hmm. And I'll need this ferocious king of the jungle to

it. Ferocious?

What, Clarence? Mm -hmm.

He is now the deadliest beast in the jungle.

Well, if you say so.

Richie, I think we can let you go.

Come on over.

I want to show you something.

Oh, come on. It's all right.

Come on.

Come on.

Sit down up here.

And sit down.

Good.

So, you got teeth, huh?

You think you're ferocious, huh?

You're just a big pussycat.

Right, N 'Gayo?

Yes, yes.

Here, you take him. I got work to do.

On second thought, I don't know.

N 'Gayo, promise me you won't bite him.

Look at Nagayo.

Mike, I wouldn't have believed it.

Oh, that was just the first lesson. The next one may be tougher.

He's got a long way to go before he really has confidence in himself.

Dad, you don't seem happy about it.

I don't know, Mike.

Your motives are good, but... Dad, we all promised to go along with Mike.

not going to spoil it now.

I don't want Clarence around until tomorrow.

Think he could stand being gauged up one more day?

Clarence? I don't think he even knows there are bars around him. He hasn't

a step since we locked him up.

Good.

Ndiaye and I are going on a little outing this afternoon.

Any sick cats in the neighborhood?

Sick cats?

None that I know of.

Any that could use a shot of vitamins?

Well, I guess an extra dose of vitamins never hurt anyone.

Vitamin?

Oh, you think you are ferocious, huh?

Zimba! All right, Gael, we're going to get her.

Come on.

Enjoy your stay.

Suit yourself.

I made the kit.

Guy O, lift that front pole, will you?

Simba not dead.

No. No.

You see?

The dart put her to sleep.

Now she gets her medicine.

Hold it for me, will you?

Come on.

There's old Simba.

And you were shaking hands with her, just like you did, Judy.

Guyot did shake paw of Simba.

Uh -huh.

You want to do it again? I'll take your picture.

Kneel down, N 'Gayo.

That's it.

N 'Gayo.

Got it.

Mike, this is great. Has N 'Gayo seen it?

No, not yet. I'm going to show it to him now.

I would have bet you half the compound you couldn't do it.

Well, he's coming along.

You still got our ferocious live Simba caged up?

Well, there's some doubt about Clarence's being alive.

He's here.

Good. He's about ready to make his grand entrance.

Mike, I still don't like it.

No matter how much goodwill you have, you're still conning the boy.

Now, he has to live in a real world, you know.

It's just a stepping stone, Dr. Ari.

Yes, but... Dad, you promised. Oh, I'll string along.

I'll string along, but... I'll never forget.

We're dealing with a human life.

See, little cub, how bravely our Ngayo shakes the hand of a big Simba.

Okay, ferocious man, let's go.

Come on, come on. Come on.

All right, Jack, be careful now.

Okay.

Dig it, Simba. Be careful. Careful, Jack.

Attaboy. I am securely.

All righty.

I got an idea. Why

don't we take your picture with him?

You put him sleep first, like before.

No, not this time.

Simba kill.

No, he won't.

Ngayo no like.

Would I kill you?

No. Why not?

You are my friend.

No reason for you to hurt Ngayo.

That is exactly how the Simba feels.

You're not attacking him. He's not hungry.

Look.

You see it, guy?

You can do it.

Come on.

It's easy.

This is a good timber. Come on.

Give me your hat.

So long.

That's it.

That's it.

Now take your picture.

Gyo, look this way and smile.

Got it.

Wait till your father sees this.

No man in my village.

Ever touched live Simba before.

No man.

Well,

Mike, I really got to hand it to you.

You're certainly working wonders with that boy.

Still think my methods are wrong, though, Marsh?

I can't help but have an uneasy feeling about it.

By the way, where have you gotten the guy out bedded down? Your room? No,

introduce too many changes at once.

I got him bedded down outside the elephant shed with Judy.

Oh.

Mike, what's with the drums, huh?

Simba on the prowl. The villagers are warning each other.

Speaking of Simba...

How much longer are you going to kid Nagail about Clarence? You know, he's

to learn the difference between a compound animal and a jungle animal.

I'll tell him tomorrow, Dr. Harry. Then we take up his postgraduate work with

really wild animals.

Well, good luck. If it was a psychological trauma of any deeper

be in real trouble. True, true.

Judy.

Simba. Near.

Oh, Sally. Village.

My village.

Oh.

N 'Gayo do bad thing.

Must go.

Save cows.

No, Judy. You stay here.

N 'Gayo must go alone.

Don't worry, Judy.

Ngayo no longer afraid of Simba.

Ngayo, brave warrior.

Ngayo walk up to Simba and pull his mane. Like this, Judy.

Did you see Nagayo after dinner last night, the way he was sharpening that

for all it was worth?

Couldn't miss him. He was walking ten feet tall.

Mike, you're certainly doing a great job with Nagayo.

Save your compliments until after today.

Going to tell him the truth, huh?

Well, that's the proof of the pudding.

Might be too much of a shock.

I'm going to rely on his good sense. After all, he knew the bush lioness was

asleep, therefore harmless.

I will explain to him that Clarence is tame and a pet, but he did not know this

when he touched him, therefore his bravery was nonetheless.

Mm -hmm, good luck.

Well, he'll have to approach a really wild lion with a lot more respect.

I propose to work on that today.

By the way, where is he?

Search me.

I haven't seen him.

Neither have I.

Strange.

He's usually the first one at the table. Chow time.

Do you think he's all right?

Oh, he just probably overslept. Yeah, the soft life is getting to him.

Breakfast time.

Rise and shine.

Judy?

Where's N 'Gayo?

You

mind

the mic? He's gone. He took his spear.

I was afraid he might be going after Clarence.

Well, apparently not.

Where then?

Wait a minute.

What's on your mind?

Remember the drums we heard last night? Some of those villagers were in the

O'Sulley area.

Well, if he's heading over there thinking that all lions are as tame as

Clarence, we're in for trouble.

I know, Dr. Harry, I know. And I am the one who's responsible.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, Judy.

Thank you.

You are welcome, Doctor.

Have you seen your son in Gaon?

I have no son.

But he's a fine boy.

Women and children speak when they are told.

But the girl speaks the truth, Chief.

You hear the drums speak.

Simba is on the march.

No place for a coward.

All the men of my village are out looking for Simba.

Ngayo is no coward.

We think he might be out trying to kill Simba.

If Ngayo is not coward, why is Dr. here?

Why is everybody so worried about him?

In trying to help, I may have put him in danger. We have to find him before he

meets that lion.

Will you help us find your son?

I have no son.

Strange.

I have heard many fine words about Chief Kukuya.

What a great warrior.

What a great hunter.

I did not know until now that he is afraid.

Kukuya is afraid of nothing.

Except the opinion of women.

Kukuya speaks his own mind.

And Kukuya's heart?

We go find and go

Simba alone That

Simba is

dangerous show he great warrior

Don't understand he doesn't know that

that's it but if he is why he will kill Simba alone Now we will see if he's

brave like you see

And he saved.

To kill Simba is brave.

To conquer Simba without weapon is more brave.

And I owe my son his brave hunter and great warrior.

Priority of pupil, Mike?

What I'm most proud of is he did not have to kill to prove his courage.

Yes, you certainly can take credit for that, Mike.

And you know, you may have forged a link between the old and the new.

Watch out, Dante.

but I think fathers are pretty much the same wherever you find them.

Hi.
