The Exotic Zoo of Terror (2026) Movie Script
1
Where's my coffee?
Hello?
Look at all this glass on the ground.
What the hell did y'all do last night?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the hell?
How'd y'all break this much glass?
The fuck!
Fuck is wrong with my voice?
What is wrong with my stomach?
What the fuck?
OK, we've been through this before.
It's hiring the wrong help.
We gotta clean this shit up.
I don't understand.
There's a party last night.
Like, where did these cobwebs come from?
Like, why are my plates like that?
Why are... what the...
Yeah, this... this can't be real.
None of this is real.
There's no way I went to sleep
last night and woke up to this,
like, my juicer like that.
Why would I go to sleep when I still have
half a thing of cough medicine?
I don't even drop that cough
medicine before I go to sleep.
Maybe that's why my voice is like this.
I didn't finish the cough medicine.
Yeah, we'll get there.
We'll get there, as long as
my singing voice is there.
But I don't wanna risk it just yet.
Yeah, this is all...
This is all bullshit.
None of this is real.
Yeah, just take a deep breath.
It'll be fine.
I'm gonna wake up in no time.
And none of this glass is real.
Yeah, nothing's real.
I didn't hear that.
No.
OK, I'm just fine.
Just perfect.
I thought I told them last
night I want my lawn cut.
I also don't remember
my lawn being that tall.
Did I get shorter?
Hold on.
Nope, still up to that nail.
Yeah, maybe this is...
My cough medicine must have expired.
And I'm hallucinating.
None of this is real.
This isn't even real.
I can't even touch it.
This ain't real.
I hope I woke up...
Wake up pretty quick.
Come on, think.
What could make me know
that this isn't real?
Oh, I know.
I'm going to my room.
My room was just how
I left it last night.
I go in there.
Everything's ready for me.
That's perfect.
All right, this is it.
This is how we're gonna know.
The door is really here, even though it
doesn't look like it is.
Come on.
We're smarter than this.
We can do this.
It felt weird, but
it's definitely a door.
I'm gonna go in the
middle, close my eyes.
I'm gonna look around, and everything's
being back to normal.
Tiger skin sheets are gonna be there.
My music playing.
No, no.
No, no.
This is fucking real.
No.
No.
No.
No.
You know what?
Fuck all this.
Only one person that can fix
this shit, and that's me.
Come on.
Perfect.
I'll go check on him.
I don't know where I'm going.
I'm gonna figure this out, I promise
each and every one of you.
We'll make this right.
I don't know how, but I'm
gonna make this right.
Oh, my god.
All right.
We need to figure out how this
happened, why this happened,
and who caused this to happen.
And I swear to god, when I find out,
I'm gonna feed him to a fucking tiger.
All right.
Think.
We can figure this out.
We're smart.
We can do this.
We talked two straight
guys into marrying us.
This should be easy.
Who would have it out to get me?
No, not him.
I think we're cool.
I think we're cool.
Um, oh, it could be that bitch.
Oh, it could be.
But no, she wouldn't do this.
Would she have superpowers?
I'm the one that knows magic, not her.
We can figure this out.
I know I gotta have something
in here that's gonna tell me.
All my files!
All right.
Now, Beth, where are
the files on everybody
that has something against me?
Damn it!
We'll do this the hard way.
You know what?
I think if I get up there,
I can get a better look
and make sure everything looks
the same as where I've been,
my house, the office, the food cage.
I can get up there.
I can see everything.
And then I'll know.
OK, that's where we're going.
It's worse than I thought.
Nothing here anymore.
All I've built, all these animals.
All these people I supported
abandoned me, disappeared?
I don't know.
How could I just fast
forward years and not know?
The only thing I know
my voice isn't the same.
I got a hell of a lot fatter,
but nothing else makes sense.
I gotta get to the bottom of this.
But I don't think I can
find anything else out here.
I'm gonna have to g... have to
go to the media, go to the news,
go to social media, I don't know.
But there's one thing I know.
You don't fuck with Mr. Exotic.
Oh, the gate's open.
Oh, man!
This must be where they
kept some of the tigers.
Hi
There, Mr. Lawson.
It's nice to meet you.
I have a couple questions to ask you.
So my first question is,
how did you meet Mr. Exotic?
Well, he found me
working at his horse ranch
where he's come in and get
sick, old, or lame horses
to feed to his cats.
And he kind of took a liking
to me and offered me a job.
Well, I'd heard about his cat sanctuary,
so I jumped on the chance.
OK, cool.
My second question is,
what is your relationship
with Mr. Exotic?
Well, he treats me real good, you know.
He gave me a job, a place to live.
I get to play with cats all day.
And, you know, he gives
me all the drugs I want.
Oh, crap.
I probably shouldn't.
Can we cut that?
Yeah, it's OK.
When did you two become a couple?
You know, all those big
animals we hang out all day
and all those kitty cats,
they kind of... well,
they smell like poop.
He smells real nice.
And you know that big gun he
carries makes you feel safe.
The way he controls all those
big cats, well, you know...
I just wish he wasn't so
obsessed with that bitch
Sharell.
She's crazy.
I can't be running around without a hat.
It's my sex appeal.
They don't get to see that right away.
I know I lost it around here somewhere.
I know I did.
No way!
Look at that bad boy.
Ooh, all right.
Wow what a mess?
Man.
Mr. Exotic, is it you?
Yeah, what happened?
I went to bed.
Everything was fine.
I wake up to this.
Oh, man.
We've got gates down, cages broke open.
We've got tigers loose everywhere.
It's a mess.
It's terrible.
Oh, my gosh.
You know what I think?
I think somebody's out to get me.
Who would be out to get you?
What have you done?
I've done nothing.
I can't think of nothing.
Wait.
What about that bitch?
Which bitch would that be?
You know, the bitch, Sharell.
Oh, that bitch.
She's been out to get me for years.
Not good.
Not good.
She'd been out to get me for years.
And it looks like she finally done it.
Oh, my god.
Can I trust you to round up a few guys
and see if you can maybe get
some more... get some tigers
in cages, hopefully
clean up a little bit?
I'll make some calls.
I'll see what we can do.
We'll try and get some
stuff caught and cleaned up.
All right, I knew I could count on you.
Everything's tore up.
Man, this is bad, really bad.
All the cats are gone.
That means they're loose.
Not good.
Got a little bit of work ahead of me.
Damn.
Not good.
Everything's loose.
Everything is busted.
It's gotta be here.
Oh, I guess
you couldn't smell them coming,
did you?
Idiot.
You know, I always
knew you had poor taste.
Wait, I see the problem.
Here, manager, let me give you a hand.
You know?
I guess I'm the brains
of the operation now.
Chuck, I need help, buddy.
Of course, Mr. Exotic, baby.
I... I'm here for you.
What do you need?
I got anything.
I need somewhere to lay low for a while.
The... the zoo, it's a wreck.
It's in shambles.
It's just... I don't.
There's too much to explain right now.
I just need somewhere to go.
Look, man, I get it.
I'm here for you.
I'm on your side.
We all want the zoo to do well.
I got this little cabin, bungalow almost,
at the intersection of
Netherton and Appleton streets.
You know where that is?
Yeah.
Look, nobody's using it.
I'll give you the code.
You go over there, lay
low for a while, relax.
Put together a plan.
In the meantime, I'll talk to some folks.
I know there's some people
that wanna help you out.
Yeah, it'd be perfect.
If you could do that, I'll go...
I'll go to that place right now.
Oh, it's gonna be perfect.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Hey, we got you, man.
Be safe.
That poor bastard.
Man, hope this place will
help me clear my head while I
try to get this figured out.
I sure am glad Chuck was able
to hook me up with, like, one
of his little hideouts.
Hell, I don't know.
All these houses look the same.
206, OK.
Chuck may outdid himself.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
Yeah, not bad at all, Chuck.
Man, he really came through for me.
This place is massive.
Oh, no!
Oh, yes, the code.
Yeah.
Oh, come on.
I don't know what kind of
neighborhood we're in now.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, jeez!
Look at this place.
Front door lock.
No bad.
Not bad at all.
Don't mind if I do.
Breaking news... authorities
are responding to a developing
situation involving what's being
referred to as The Exotic Zoo.
What?
After reports of multiple
dangerous animals escaped...
How did they already get the news?
Who's...
Officials have not confirmed...
Who's talking?
How many animals have turned loose.
Who said anything?
But residents in nearby areas are
being urged to remain indoors
and avoid wooded locations.
There's no way.
Sources tell us...
They're on the scene, too.
How did they already get there?
I just...
not issued a formal statement.
That's a pretty good picture of me.
Law enforcement and
Animal Control on the scene.
And while details remain unclear...
It's worse than I thought.
There are unconfirmed
reports of injuries and possibly
fatalities.
This is a developing story.
We'll continue to bring you updates as...
Those poor animals.
More information becomes available.
And if you're in the area, stay inside.
I'm calling him right now.
How is this even possible?
I've just left there.
Nobody was there.
There was no reporters on
scene to take those pictures.
But, I mean, kudos to whoever
sent them that picture of me,
like, this...
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
No, no.
Let's focus, because now they're...
What if they follow me?
What if someone's gonna get here?
What am I gonna do?
God, I gotta call somebody.
Oh, who am I gonna call?
Let's see.
Oh, no.
What does she want?
I bet she saw that story, too.
If I don't answer, she's
just gonna make it worse.
Hello.
Exotic one?
What am I seeing on the news right now?
What is going on at your zoo?
Sharell, it's not what it looks like.
I just saw the news story, too.
There's no way that happened.
I just left there.
Tell me the animals are OK.
Come on.
You know me better than that.
We have different philosophies
when it comes to our animals,
but we both want what's best for them.
I would never do anything to
harm any of those animals.
That's not what it
looked like from the news.
Tell me you have someone on this.
Literally in the middle
of starting a phone
call before you called me.
I've got plans in motion.
This will get fixed.
I'll handle it.
That's my livelihood.
It's already over the news.
You can't believe everything
you hear on the news.
Come on.
If you knew what you were doing,
you wouldn't be all over the news.
I knew this smelled
like Mr. Exotic
all over the minute I turned on the news.
Look, I don't want to get involved,
but I will if I have to.
And we both know I know exactly
how to handle situations
like this.
I know.
Trust me, I can handle this.
I've got it.
You can trust me.
Yes, ma'am.
God!
Just what I need.
You better handle it, or
I'll deal with it myself.
Come here, Scruffles.
He's gonna handle it, right?
I don't think so either.
Oh, gosh.
My day couldn't get any worse.
She had to call me.
OK, now we gotta... we
gotta get out of this funk.
What can we do to cheer ourselves up?
Wait a minute.
I know what always works.
Yeah.
Hey, Officer, can I help you?
Are you Mr. Exotic?
Yes, I am.
I'm a trooper.
I was sent here down
from the state police
to investigate what happened to your zoo.
It was destroyed.
Do you have any idea who
would have done that or...
Yeah, I saw the news story.
I had a party last night at
the zoo, woke up this morning.
Just everything was in shambles.
The cages were open.
Like, it looks like something
happened, like, eight years in,
like, 30 minutes.
Like, I don't know what happened.
You gotta believe me.
I just had a few guys try to clean it up.
And then I just had to get
away to try to figure out what
happened because, like, it's...
It's like I woke up in a horror
movie.
I'm gonna keep investigating this,
and I will get down to this.
And I will...
I will prosecute whoever
did this to your zoo.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you, Officer
Man, I've gotta...
I've gotta figure out who did
this to Mr. Exotic's park.
Whoa, whoa!
Don't shoot, don't shoot.
This is still my zoo.
What are you
doing here, Mr. Exotic?
I did just see you at
the house, didn't I, huh?
I had to pick up a few things still.
You know, I still live here.
I just had to grab a few things.
How did you get here so fast?
I have a really fast truck.
Come on.
You've seen it in the
music videos, right?
Mr. Exotic, you know,
I've been investigating you.
That's fine.
But, I mean, I'm at my property.
So I mean, I don't know
what I'm doing wrong.
Well, I'm still
keeping an eye but not in you.
And you... you... you watch
yourself, Mr. Exotic.
Yes, sir.
Hello?
Is anyone there?
Is that you, Mr. Exotic?
Hello?
Hello, gator.
What the hell?
Hey, there's the man.
What's going on?
Seth, how are you doing, man.
Long time no see.
Oh, and who is this lovely lady?
This is my lovely lady.
Laura.
Enchant.
Hey, hey, hey!
Don't get so touchy.
Laura, I'm Chuck.
Welcome to my place.
Please, come on in.
Come on in.
Go in here, sweetheart.
Happy to meet with you.
I'm gonna pull up this chair here.
Please have a seat.
Absolutely.
So, what can I help you with?
Well, you're the guy that seems to have
all the info around here.
So obviously, that's
why I'm here, you know.
We're seeking some info about, you know,
Mr. Exotic, the location of
the zoo, his whereabouts.
So come on, man, what can you tell me?
Well, look, Mr. Exotic,
he's a friend of mine.
You might have heard
about the things that
are happening over there, the
incidents that have occurred.
I'm worried about him.
That zoo, all those animals,
it's... it's more than one man
can handle.
He needs help.
What is your plan for helping him?
Well, it's funny you should say that.
You know.
You know a little bit about us.
You got all the info.
We got the money.
And he's very generous.
She knows.
She knows.
Yeah, I can see that.
Well, that's good news.
He could use your help.
We've been thinking about this vision.
And I mean, it's a really big vision.
We can make it happen.
All right, I'm sold.
Look, you know where the zoo is.
It's over at 205, Exotic Way.
You know where that's at?
I got it, all right, baby.
But Mr. Exotic, he's
not there right now.
After everything that's happened,
he needed a place to lie
low, get away from it all,
and kind of replan his next move.
He's over at one of my places.
It's off of Netherton
Drive and Eggleston Hollow.
You can find it on the map.
It's a nifty little cabin, but it's...
It's a good place for him
to plan the next move.
Well, like I said before, we're
the right people to help this
next move transition smoothly.
Got it.
Well, I think we're gonna head on out.
Yeah.
Hey, one more thing, though.
Keep me posted on what's
going on with Mr. Exotic.
You know, he's a friend.
He's going through a hard time.
Well, let me tell you something.
If anybody knows how to take
care of hard times, I'm the guy.
Just ask my lovely, lovely Laura.
Oh, you...
She likes hard times, don't you, baby?
I do.
Let's go play with some cats.
Love the kitty.
Let's go.
Yeah, that baby can purr.
Oof!
Yeah, I feel much better now.
Look at you.
Look at you.
Rrrr.
Still breathing fire
Still singing loud
Still climbing high
Yeah!
You know what?
My voice still ain't back, but I
don't care I got the words down.
Oh, perfect.
Oh, I'm so excited.
Listen, I'm gonna tell you, we
are going to do this deal, OK?
Get everything together.
You got it all written down.
I got it.
Short and sweet, OK?
Just like you, baby.
Whoa.
Whoa, let's do this.
We're gonna be rich.
Every time you get like
this, I get so excited.
Hard times for him, well, it's
gonna be hard times for you
later, baby.
Who would that be?
I'll come back to you.
I wonder who that could be.
Hello?
Hey, my name is Seth, and
this is my limber lady, Laura.
And Chuck sent us.
Chuck?
Yeah.
He was kind of letting us
know about how hard of a time
you've been having.
And you know, when
people have hard times,
I know how to deal with them.
You just ask my lady.
Because she knows about the hard times.
Oh, yes, I do.
But anyway, I was wondering.
We have, like, a... a deal we
could offer you that might
help you get back on your feet.
You have a few minutes
just to listen to our deal?
Chuck sent you guys?
Yeah.
Come on in.
All right, go in here.
All right.
Thanks.
Thanks for having us.
Do you mind if we have a seat?
Go right ahead.
All right, cool.
Come here, baby.
Let we just...
So here's the thing.
You know, we... we're here
in this whole situation.
We want to help you out.
We really do.
Me and her, we have
the money to fund you.
So I just wanna give you a proposition
and see what you think about it.
What do you say?
Yeah, come on, baby, get over there.
There you go.
Hi.
Hello.
So we have a sweet deal for you.
We're gonna offer you 100k,
and you get $10,000 right off
the bat, play money to
do whatever you want.
Now, we're gonna take 80% of all sales
from the zoo, the merchandise,
and you get the other 20%
And all you have to
do is sign right here.
You guys get 80%?
Yeah, it's a good deal.
It's 10k.
Listen, it seems...
10k right off the bat.
It seems like a lot,
but trust me, it's not.
You're gonna make out so good, so good.
Yes.
Just sign.
You know, I know what
you guys are trying to do,
but I kind of feel like maybe a
little bit more and not so much.
Ooh.
Have you heard of ZZ Top?
Sharp-dressed man.
No.
Listen, just let's stick to the plan.
Let's talk about money.
We don't need to talk about...
Let's get real then.
Let's talk about money, nothing funny.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm a smart man.
Don't mess with me.
Don't... don't try...
I know you are.
That's why we're here.
Make the right decision.
And in a week's time, I'm gonna
see what you do with this.
Things can change
dramatically in a week's time.
It's right there.
And I get part of
this just to play with...
Absolutely.
Whatever I want?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're helping you get back to
where you need to be, right?
Don't you wanna get
back to where you were?
I'm here.
All right.
Then, let's do this.
10,000 Benjamins right off the bat.
Let's do this.
You know what?
How can you resist that...
I can't resist that offer, but...
Good man.
Let's do it.
All right.
We got this.
A week's time.
Let's do it.
I'm gonna see you in a week.
Let's see what you got.
All right.
You ready?
You ready, baby?
Thank you.
All right, let's go.
All yours, buddy.
All right.
Good luck.
You know, I probably should
have thought that over.
But I mean, $10,000, and then
I get a portion of everything
after, and they're gonna
do all the work for me.
I mean, I don't know what they
were trying to do with her,
but I mean, his...
His beard, little billy
goat gruff action.
We did it, baby.
Yeah!
Oh, my god.
This is... oh, you're amazing.
You are a bomb.
You're amazing.
Oh, my god.
Listen, things are about to pop up.
Hold on a second.
You gotta get off me.
I'm gonna... oh,
yeah settle down.
All right.
Let's go.
Oh, shit.
I forgot... I forgot about
the other deal, though.
Fallon.
Damn it.
I'm sorry.
I forgot to put it in the contract.
Shit.
What the heck?
Y'all forget something?
Yeah, matter of fact, I did.
Listen, that contract, we had
a little stipulation in there.
I forgot all about it.
Hold on one second.
Fallon, come here.
Hold on.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Step back, step back.
This is the handyman
OK, I was talking about.
That's in the contract
if you didn't read it.
And he takes care of all the things.
But the thing is, he
needs a place to crash.
He can't really... go, back up.
I mean, he can't really stay with me
because, like, when I'm
taking care of my business,
he's just sitting there
drooling, like, really weird,
like a...
Like a wild animal, man.
Like, I just... yeah, exactly.
He's drooling on his shoulder right now.
Come on, man.
But he needs a place to crash, OK?
But in return, just like that
deal we just sealed with you,
he takes care of all the stuff on site.
He is gonna be really detrimental
to this whole project.
So, yeah.
Yeah, come on.
Fallon.
Fallon.
Hey.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah.
Yeah, where am I sleeping?
Is he house trained?
Well, you might have to
get a litter box or something,
but I mean...
I mean, we've got
a spot in the backyard, maybe.
That's perfect.
That'll work, right?
You got this, buddy.
Fallon.
You got this.
Nice to meet you.
Fallon.
Awesome.
Oh, there he is making
himself at home already.
It's all good.
You're kidding me!
No, I'm not kidding.
He can't come home.
Me and her got some
business to take care of,
and he really can't be
staring at us all that much.
I mean, it's very uncomfortable.
And that was in the contract?
Yes.
You didn't read it?
I showed you everything.
We talked about that.
I showed it to you.
I read you everything.
This is a steal deal.
This is gonna work out...
Remember, you got a week.
He's gonna whip everything into
shape for you in a week's time.
There's breakables in here.
You... put them outside.
You got... you got a nice
backyard back there.
Just do that.
Yeah.
All right.
You'll be all right.
Have fun.
And, I mean, he might even go your way.
I have no idea.
But he's a little weird, man.
I'm not gonna lie.
He's... let's get
out of here, baby.
Get better books on.
Second place.
I wouldn't at first if you
actually were me, right?
Hey!
You know what?
I should have won first place.
But you know what?
It doesn't even matter.
Put it down.
Down!
Sorry.
No, no.
Come on.
Come on.
How you doing?
No, not real.
Hey, come on.
Hey.
Hey!
Hey!
Hungry?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There you go.
Go get it.
There you go.
There you go.
There you go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, man.
Yeah.
Good boy.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You know what?
I think he'll be just fine.
You got this.
You're good.
Wrong.
Guy.
Yo?
Hello?
Alan?
No, Bev?
All right.
Good night.
He's got it.
Well, come on.
What is this poor thing you're showing?
I know that Mr. Exotic
is up to something.
I'm gonna show him.
I'm gonna go to Oklahoma myself.
He's not gonna expect that.
That news report was way too damning.
I'm gonna take care of it myself.
What's he gonna say, mm?
What's he gonna say?
Oh, I'm just taking a break.
Oh, no.
We're gonna see what break
you're taking from the zoo,
right, Snuffles?
I know he's up to something, and I'm
gonna find out exactly what he's up to.
Hi there.
It's Chuck.
Hi.
I heard that you could give me
some information about what's
going on at the zoo.
Oh, I'd love to.
Who is this lovely
lady I'm speaking with?
My name is Sharell.
And I am just so concerned that no one
is taking care of those
poor animals down there.
I saw all over the news.
And I am... I'm deeply
concerned at what's going on.
You know, Sharell, you're not alone.
I'm sure you know all about the tigers.
They're 10 feet long.
They eat, like, 90 pounds of food a day.
They could take you out in one sitting.
But look, we know they got problems?
Mr. Exotic, I'm afraid those
things are gonna consume him
literally or figuratively.
So, look, I've been trying to help.
I... I put him in
touch with this guy
who said he wanted to
help out with the zoo.
Really?
Well, that's so kind of you.
Do you happen to know his name?
Yes, a guy that I've been
friends with for a while, Seth.
He... he's probably going to
be a good thing for the zoo.
He wants to put some money into
it, bringing it back up to par.
Oh, that's so wonderful.
So I do have a question.
How long is it going to take
to get everything right again?
Is anybody rounding up these animals?
Is anybody making sure that they're safe?
Look, all I can tell you
is I put Mr. Exotic in touch
with Seth.
They're gonna work that out.
I'm sure they're gonna
meet up at the park.
I don't know how long it's gonna take.
I know that man needs help.
I think he does.
I think he needs lots of help.
Well, there's some things that
I have to find out for myself.
You have a good one now.
Hey, you too.
And be sure and let me know
what you find out, won't you?
Surely.
It looks like I'm gonna have to
find out what's going on myself.
Hey, open mind.
You gotta believe me it
wasn't like this when
I went to sleep last night.
Open mind?
Wipe your shoes.
I don't want you to get dirt in here.
Jeez, man.
What the hell?
What kind of shit are
you pulling, Exotic?
I went to sleep last
night, and it was fine.
This was perfect.
Couple of beer bottles, maybe
a couple people laying around,
but not like this.
This is what you're doing with
the funds we're getting you?
Like, you're just partying?
It's not about a fucking party, man!
How much money did I already invest?
This ain't for your political things.
This ain't for your stupid
honky-tonk bullshit, lip sync,
fudge-packing music.
It's gonna take off.
My music is gonna take off.
I was on the phone with
record producer today.
It took off, all right?
Look at this place, dude.
Maybe we're filming a
music video, and I forgot.
I don't know.
Like, I don't remember any of this.
I can't believe this, man.
It's bullshit.
I need your help, though, man.
You can fix this.
I know you can fix this.
I can only help you so much.
Haven't I helped you enough?
How much money did your mom give you?
Like, it's not enough!
Leave my mom out of this, OK?
I'm giving you enough.
I've given you enough of this.
Everything I've given you.
And you're just pissing the money away.
This ain't a frigging party!
Exotic, get your head
out of your fucking ass,
besides putting things up your ass, OK?
Get your shit together, dude.
Now, did you...
I can't wait to see
the rest of this place.
In one night, this happened,
one freaking night?
Like, this is unbelievable.
Show me the rest of the place,
because if this is what I gotta
look forward to out
there, too, we're in a lot
of friggin' trouble, man.
Like, get your shit together.
Let's go, man.
Lead the way.
I am never gonna financially
recover from this.
Look, out here, it's not so bad.
Maybe we just got crazy in the house.
Like, it's not... I mean,
I still got a door there.
The door is still there.
So bad?
The cages are still here.
It's not so bad.
Come on.
Look.
You got beer goggles on?
Take a look at this place.
It's really not that bad.
It's gonna cost at least
$500,000 to bring this place
back to where it probably was.
And you've got it.
I feel like you don't have
money all of a sudden.
I didn't call if you didn't have money.
Man.
All you do is flash it.
You are driving me to fucking drinking.
Not that I didn't drink
before, but I'm drinking a...
Little diamond earrings...
Little bit more.
Diamond glass, and act like you
don't have any money all of a sudden.
Listen, I got money.
Well, I also got money
from my hoes, dude, OK?
You don't have to worry
about needing money for that.
This is bullshit.
Here's the problem.
This is your problem, dude.
You're too stuck with this fame bullshit.
I want the money.
Do you think this is gonna
generate money for us.
That's why this is gonna work out.
I'm not concerned with the money.
Oh, I know you're not.
I just want to be the face.
You spent... you did
a bang-up job here.
Now, here's the thing, man.
Hear me out, OK?
Let's say I want to do this
again and help you out and give
you the funds.
We're gonna start doing
some things my way.
I got a guy, Fallon, all right?
You trust me?
He's a good handyman.
He might be able to whip
this place back into shape.
And I say might.
I can't promise this, because this is...
This is collateral damage, man.
Can I ask you a serious question?
Yeah.
Is it cute?
Oh, my god!
Listen, stop worrying about
fudgepacker dude and country
music, and get your
shit together, you know.
If you wanna keep fudgepacking,
get a chocolate factory
in the fucking gift shop.
Oh, you didn't even show
me the gift shop yet.
We're going.
Is that wrecked?
We're going.
You do sell chocolate there, don't you?
Obviously.
Christ!
Exotic, you're giving me
a splitting headache, man.
And I'm not talking
about this handkerchief
being too tight on my head.
Looks good on you.
See, it's not so bad.
Cage is still here.
Christ, Exotic.
Oh, my god.
Four of these, that's fine.
Still in one piece...
I'm surprised these are
still standing, actually.
I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
Still sturdy, all right.
Fallon might be able to
work with this stuff.
A little faith in me.
You want to see that gift shop?
I don't know if I do or not.
You wanna see that gift shop.
I got these CDs and DVDs in there.
I got autographed magazines.
Oh, my god.
You're gonna love it!
Oh, my goodness.
Where is everyone?
I should have seen somebody by now.
Where are the tigers?
Oh, those poor creatures.
I've got to find the tigers.
I don't imagine it
usually looks like this.
Where are those poor animals?
Every cage is open.
Somebody needs to be on this.
Where are those poor creatures?
Where did the animals go?
I'm gonna find them.
Here, kitty, kitty.
Here, kitty, kitty.
I would have expected to see someone
by now, or at least one cat.
Well.
Let me handle this.
What are you doing in my park, Sharell?
Your park?
Yes.
That's not what the deed says.
I thought you said you were going to have
someone take care of this.
I'm taking... I'm
here, aren't I not?
Hold on a second, OK?
You don't need to say anymore.
We got this under control, OK?
We know what we're doing.
And this is not your concern.
This discussion is over, OK?
My concern is with the
animals, which, where are they?
They're being taken care of.
Yes.
Taken care of?
Yes.
And what do you mean by that?
That's as far as I'm
gonna go with you, OK?
We're taking care of them.
What have you done to these cats?
Listen, that's for me to know and for you
to find out later, OK?
I have people who can find out for me.
Don't you have a bicycle
to ride or something?
Yeah, you don't need to
worry about those cats,
all right, lady?
Hey, guys.
It's my favorite people.
Look at this.
Look at Mr. Exotic.
Mm-mm-m.
Looking great, man.
How many tigers do you have here now?
What are you doing here, Chuck?
Yeah, how many tigers do you have here?
What are you doing here, Chuck?
You know, I'm just...
Just having a good time, man,
just seeing what's going on.
I... I didn't think
you'd be here.
I thought you'd be at that
place that I'm letting you use.
How do you even know I'm here?
Yeah, really.
I know things.
You know I love people.
I know people.
I like to know what's going on.
Well, look at that.
Somebody else who doesn't
have their head up their ass
around here, huh?
Yeah, I guess so.
She knows everything.
You know everything.
I will know everything.
Oh, is that right?
I have people.
Is that right?
We will find out.
Let's go.
Conversation's done.
We'll find out what happened to tigers?
We got... we
got work to do.
And we can't work with you
guys standing around here, OK?
We don't need supervisors.
You guys need to get off the property.
Be sure that you handle it.
Oh, I'm gonna handle it.
We're not done here.
Be safe, fellas.
Love ya.
I swear, she's been
a thorn in my sight for years.
I don't know why she's here.
I don't even know how she got here.
Well, listen, it's
not for any good reason.
I told her I could handle it.
She literally called me, and
the next thing she's here.
Like, I don't understand.
Well, she's sticking her
head where it don't belong.
I'm sure you would hope it's up your ass,
but that's a different story.
But, you know, I'm happy to see Chuck.
Like, he set me up with that place.
Like, that's a calming part of this
to make it worth her
being there doesn't just
piss me off a little bit more.
Hey, it kind of is.
I mean, look.
Like, look at this, like...
Yeah.
Let me get a look this side here.
The bones are still here.
Like, hold on, because...
Here's...
Here's the good news.
After all you fucked
up, the positive thing
is, at least these are standing.
Yeah.
I can't say so much
for the other structures,
but I mean, we've got a lot
of fucking damage here, man.
Yeah.
But I mean, all we gotta do
is get them back in here,
and we're fine.
A couple new locks, doors
still closed, like it's still...
I mean, there's a little
bit of wear and tear,
you know, with some rust damage.
But I'll get Fallon on that.
You could probably get this repaired.
I mean, he's... he's don't have...
He's not the sharpest tool
in the shed, but he's
good with his hands.
Dude, he was fine.
I put him in a little
kids pool last night
on the porch with some snacks.
And like, he was fine.
I came up that morning,
like, he was curled up
on top of the newspaper, like,
just ready to give it to me.
He's like some Mongoloid, I don't know,
half-breed mutant from Pennsyltucky.
But anyway.
He's a hard worker.
He is.
I'm hoping he can do something
with this, because I mean,
we got this.
At least, the cages are up still.
There's rust damage.
He's gonna have to Polish
that shit off of there,
whatever the fuck he does.
I mean, the positive...
There's something to start with.
We're not starting from the ground up.
Like, it's... the
bones are still here.
Like, integral wise, like...
But the thing is, from this
point on, I'm taking over, OK?
Because you just proved in a week's time
that you can't have total control.
Look at this.
I mean, you really
fucked this up, man, OK?
You gotta understand, I'm a businessman.
All my money and funds
are going into this,
so we have to, from this
point, run smoothly, OK?
I got upset with you out there.
I'm starting to calm down.
My moods a little bit changing, OK?
I'm trying to get a
clear head of this shit,
but you're gonna have to fucking
listen to somebody with...
You know.
Just remember what we talked about.
I'm fine with you having the money,
but I am the face of this park.
It's like I told you.
It's not about the fame, OK?
To me, it is.
What?
Fuck.
Here she comes.
Listen, you thought I was fucking bad?
Wait, until you hear this shit now.
What, you think I'm afraid of her?
She was on my lap last night.
Hey, babe, come on.
Come on in here.
Have you seen this shit?
Like, look at this.
The place is a disaster.
I know.
I already know.
Listen, baby, calm those
tits down, all right?
Hold on a second.
No, I'm not calm.
And you, I gave you
10,000 fucking dollars.
And this is the shit
that you're telling us?
Like, what the hell, Seth?
Babe.
Fix it.
I got it under control.
Calm down.
Listen... listen, this
is... this is bad,
but we're gonna fix it, OK?
I promise, all right?
We... we were just
talking about this.
It's fine.
Like, everything's still here.
Yeah...
It's not that big of a deal.
What's fine?
What is fine about this?
He's still a little delusional,
but I'm trying to get
him on the right path.
From this point on, we're
gonna take over, OK?
We're still gonna assist
him, but we're taking over.
You got it?
But let's go.
I gotta talk to you.
Yeah.
Hold on a second.
I gotta talk to her.
Go fix this.
Come here, come here.
Listen.
Listen, I know it looks bad.
No, it's real fucking bad.
I know. but listen...
Have you looked around?
Have you looked?
I have video.
I've been looking.
I've been looking.
Seth.
OK, but listen, you're not
looking at the big picture
like I am, OK?
Here... here's the thing.
He signed those papers.
You got him to sign those papers.
He don't even know this
park isn't his anymore.
It's ours.
We're gonna take control
from him, make all the money.
This place, once we fix
this back up, look at this,
we're gonna get all the funds from this.
And then.
I mean...
You better fix this.
We're gonna
make... we're gonna...
Make it work.
It's gonna be OK.
It's going to be OK.
What it is.
Hey, you think I can't hear you morons?
I'm gonna shred up that
contract right now.
You can't.
It's already signed.
It's already signed.
Go ahead and try.
You think I haven't gotten
out of this shit before?
Yeah
Yeah.
You never dealt with the likes of us.
All right, listen, it's our stuff.
We're not gonna...
Today was a good day.
That's the good stuff.
We're making it
happen for Mr. Exotic.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I figured it out.
Did you?
Your reputation is trash.
I have all the documentation I need.
You're done.
Oh, Sharell, you really
think the documentation,
or any of that, is what
I've been concerned with?
Absolutely.
I have the documentation as to what's
happened to all these
animals, that you have
done this yourself to the zoo.
You ruined it.
You have ruined this place and
the homes of all these animals.
You know, you do have a
point about this being my fault
and this being done myself, but I still
don't think you have it figured out yet.
I have documentation for all of it.
Oh, man, am I gonna enjoy this?
Enjoy this?
You're done.
Your reputation and all your
wannabe famous... you're done.
You're done.
At least, you will be when my
lawyers get through with you.
Who are they gonna sue?
I never even said I was him.
Like...
God, you're so stupid.
You still don't know.
Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this.
You're not Mr. Exotic?
Where's my coffee?
Hello?
Look at all this glass on the ground.
What the hell did y'all do last night?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the hell?
How'd y'all break this much glass?
The fuck!
Fuck is wrong with my voice?
What is wrong with my stomach?
What the fuck?
OK, we've been through this before.
It's hiring the wrong help.
We gotta clean this shit up.
I don't understand.
There's a party last night.
Like, where did these cobwebs come from?
Like, why are my plates like that?
Why are... what the...
Yeah, this... this can't be real.
None of this is real.
There's no way I went to sleep
last night and woke up to this,
like, my juicer like that.
Why would I go to sleep when I still have
half a thing of cough medicine?
I don't even drop that cough
medicine before I go to sleep.
Maybe that's why my voice is like this.
I didn't finish the cough medicine.
Yeah, we'll get there.
We'll get there, as long as
my singing voice is there.
But I don't wanna risk it just yet.
Yeah, this is all...
This is all bullshit.
None of this is real.
Yeah, just take a deep breath.
It'll be fine.
I'm gonna wake up in no time.
And none of this glass is real.
Yeah, nothing's real.
I didn't hear that.
No.
OK, I'm just fine.
Just perfect.
I thought I told them last
night I want my lawn cut.
I also don't remember
my lawn being that tall.
Did I get shorter?
Hold on.
Nope, still up to that nail.
Yeah, maybe this is...
My cough medicine must have expired.
And I'm hallucinating.
None of this is real.
This isn't even real.
I can't even touch it.
This ain't real.
I hope I woke up...
Wake up pretty quick.
Come on, think.
What could make me know
that this isn't real?
Oh, I know.
I'm going to my room.
My room was just how
I left it last night.
I go in there.
Everything's ready for me.
That's perfect.
All right, this is it.
This is how we're gonna know.
The door is really here, even though it
doesn't look like it is.
Come on.
We're smarter than this.
We can do this.
It felt weird, but
it's definitely a door.
I'm gonna go in the
middle, close my eyes.
I'm gonna look around, and everything's
being back to normal.
Tiger skin sheets are gonna be there.
My music playing.
No, no.
No, no.
This is fucking real.
No.
No.
No.
No.
You know what?
Fuck all this.
Only one person that can fix
this shit, and that's me.
Come on.
Perfect.
I'll go check on him.
I don't know where I'm going.
I'm gonna figure this out, I promise
each and every one of you.
We'll make this right.
I don't know how, but I'm
gonna make this right.
Oh, my god.
All right.
We need to figure out how this
happened, why this happened,
and who caused this to happen.
And I swear to god, when I find out,
I'm gonna feed him to a fucking tiger.
All right.
Think.
We can figure this out.
We're smart.
We can do this.
We talked two straight
guys into marrying us.
This should be easy.
Who would have it out to get me?
No, not him.
I think we're cool.
I think we're cool.
Um, oh, it could be that bitch.
Oh, it could be.
But no, she wouldn't do this.
Would she have superpowers?
I'm the one that knows magic, not her.
We can figure this out.
I know I gotta have something
in here that's gonna tell me.
All my files!
All right.
Now, Beth, where are
the files on everybody
that has something against me?
Damn it!
We'll do this the hard way.
You know what?
I think if I get up there,
I can get a better look
and make sure everything looks
the same as where I've been,
my house, the office, the food cage.
I can get up there.
I can see everything.
And then I'll know.
OK, that's where we're going.
It's worse than I thought.
Nothing here anymore.
All I've built, all these animals.
All these people I supported
abandoned me, disappeared?
I don't know.
How could I just fast
forward years and not know?
The only thing I know
my voice isn't the same.
I got a hell of a lot fatter,
but nothing else makes sense.
I gotta get to the bottom of this.
But I don't think I can
find anything else out here.
I'm gonna have to g... have to
go to the media, go to the news,
go to social media, I don't know.
But there's one thing I know.
You don't fuck with Mr. Exotic.
Oh, the gate's open.
Oh, man!
This must be where they
kept some of the tigers.
Hi
There, Mr. Lawson.
It's nice to meet you.
I have a couple questions to ask you.
So my first question is,
how did you meet Mr. Exotic?
Well, he found me
working at his horse ranch
where he's come in and get
sick, old, or lame horses
to feed to his cats.
And he kind of took a liking
to me and offered me a job.
Well, I'd heard about his cat sanctuary,
so I jumped on the chance.
OK, cool.
My second question is,
what is your relationship
with Mr. Exotic?
Well, he treats me real good, you know.
He gave me a job, a place to live.
I get to play with cats all day.
And, you know, he gives
me all the drugs I want.
Oh, crap.
I probably shouldn't.
Can we cut that?
Yeah, it's OK.
When did you two become a couple?
You know, all those big
animals we hang out all day
and all those kitty cats,
they kind of... well,
they smell like poop.
He smells real nice.
And you know that big gun he
carries makes you feel safe.
The way he controls all those
big cats, well, you know...
I just wish he wasn't so
obsessed with that bitch
Sharell.
She's crazy.
I can't be running around without a hat.
It's my sex appeal.
They don't get to see that right away.
I know I lost it around here somewhere.
I know I did.
No way!
Look at that bad boy.
Ooh, all right.
Wow what a mess?
Man.
Mr. Exotic, is it you?
Yeah, what happened?
I went to bed.
Everything was fine.
I wake up to this.
Oh, man.
We've got gates down, cages broke open.
We've got tigers loose everywhere.
It's a mess.
It's terrible.
Oh, my gosh.
You know what I think?
I think somebody's out to get me.
Who would be out to get you?
What have you done?
I've done nothing.
I can't think of nothing.
Wait.
What about that bitch?
Which bitch would that be?
You know, the bitch, Sharell.
Oh, that bitch.
She's been out to get me for years.
Not good.
Not good.
She'd been out to get me for years.
And it looks like she finally done it.
Oh, my god.
Can I trust you to round up a few guys
and see if you can maybe get
some more... get some tigers
in cages, hopefully
clean up a little bit?
I'll make some calls.
I'll see what we can do.
We'll try and get some
stuff caught and cleaned up.
All right, I knew I could count on you.
Everything's tore up.
Man, this is bad, really bad.
All the cats are gone.
That means they're loose.
Not good.
Got a little bit of work ahead of me.
Damn.
Not good.
Everything's loose.
Everything is busted.
It's gotta be here.
Oh, I guess
you couldn't smell them coming,
did you?
Idiot.
You know, I always
knew you had poor taste.
Wait, I see the problem.
Here, manager, let me give you a hand.
You know?
I guess I'm the brains
of the operation now.
Chuck, I need help, buddy.
Of course, Mr. Exotic, baby.
I... I'm here for you.
What do you need?
I got anything.
I need somewhere to lay low for a while.
The... the zoo, it's a wreck.
It's in shambles.
It's just... I don't.
There's too much to explain right now.
I just need somewhere to go.
Look, man, I get it.
I'm here for you.
I'm on your side.
We all want the zoo to do well.
I got this little cabin, bungalow almost,
at the intersection of
Netherton and Appleton streets.
You know where that is?
Yeah.
Look, nobody's using it.
I'll give you the code.
You go over there, lay
low for a while, relax.
Put together a plan.
In the meantime, I'll talk to some folks.
I know there's some people
that wanna help you out.
Yeah, it'd be perfect.
If you could do that, I'll go...
I'll go to that place right now.
Oh, it's gonna be perfect.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Hey, we got you, man.
Be safe.
That poor bastard.
Man, hope this place will
help me clear my head while I
try to get this figured out.
I sure am glad Chuck was able
to hook me up with, like, one
of his little hideouts.
Hell, I don't know.
All these houses look the same.
206, OK.
Chuck may outdid himself.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
Yeah, not bad at all, Chuck.
Man, he really came through for me.
This place is massive.
Oh, no!
Oh, yes, the code.
Yeah.
Oh, come on.
I don't know what kind of
neighborhood we're in now.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, jeez!
Look at this place.
Front door lock.
No bad.
Not bad at all.
Don't mind if I do.
Breaking news... authorities
are responding to a developing
situation involving what's being
referred to as The Exotic Zoo.
What?
After reports of multiple
dangerous animals escaped...
How did they already get the news?
Who's...
Officials have not confirmed...
Who's talking?
How many animals have turned loose.
Who said anything?
But residents in nearby areas are
being urged to remain indoors
and avoid wooded locations.
There's no way.
Sources tell us...
They're on the scene, too.
How did they already get there?
I just...
not issued a formal statement.
That's a pretty good picture of me.
Law enforcement and
Animal Control on the scene.
And while details remain unclear...
It's worse than I thought.
There are unconfirmed
reports of injuries and possibly
fatalities.
This is a developing story.
We'll continue to bring you updates as...
Those poor animals.
More information becomes available.
And if you're in the area, stay inside.
I'm calling him right now.
How is this even possible?
I've just left there.
Nobody was there.
There was no reporters on
scene to take those pictures.
But, I mean, kudos to whoever
sent them that picture of me,
like, this...
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
No, no.
Let's focus, because now they're...
What if they follow me?
What if someone's gonna get here?
What am I gonna do?
God, I gotta call somebody.
Oh, who am I gonna call?
Let's see.
Oh, no.
What does she want?
I bet she saw that story, too.
If I don't answer, she's
just gonna make it worse.
Hello.
Exotic one?
What am I seeing on the news right now?
What is going on at your zoo?
Sharell, it's not what it looks like.
I just saw the news story, too.
There's no way that happened.
I just left there.
Tell me the animals are OK.
Come on.
You know me better than that.
We have different philosophies
when it comes to our animals,
but we both want what's best for them.
I would never do anything to
harm any of those animals.
That's not what it
looked like from the news.
Tell me you have someone on this.
Literally in the middle
of starting a phone
call before you called me.
I've got plans in motion.
This will get fixed.
I'll handle it.
That's my livelihood.
It's already over the news.
You can't believe everything
you hear on the news.
Come on.
If you knew what you were doing,
you wouldn't be all over the news.
I knew this smelled
like Mr. Exotic
all over the minute I turned on the news.
Look, I don't want to get involved,
but I will if I have to.
And we both know I know exactly
how to handle situations
like this.
I know.
Trust me, I can handle this.
I've got it.
You can trust me.
Yes, ma'am.
God!
Just what I need.
You better handle it, or
I'll deal with it myself.
Come here, Scruffles.
He's gonna handle it, right?
I don't think so either.
Oh, gosh.
My day couldn't get any worse.
She had to call me.
OK, now we gotta... we
gotta get out of this funk.
What can we do to cheer ourselves up?
Wait a minute.
I know what always works.
Yeah.
Hey, Officer, can I help you?
Are you Mr. Exotic?
Yes, I am.
I'm a trooper.
I was sent here down
from the state police
to investigate what happened to your zoo.
It was destroyed.
Do you have any idea who
would have done that or...
Yeah, I saw the news story.
I had a party last night at
the zoo, woke up this morning.
Just everything was in shambles.
The cages were open.
Like, it looks like something
happened, like, eight years in,
like, 30 minutes.
Like, I don't know what happened.
You gotta believe me.
I just had a few guys try to clean it up.
And then I just had to get
away to try to figure out what
happened because, like, it's...
It's like I woke up in a horror
movie.
I'm gonna keep investigating this,
and I will get down to this.
And I will...
I will prosecute whoever
did this to your zoo.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you, Officer
Man, I've gotta...
I've gotta figure out who did
this to Mr. Exotic's park.
Whoa, whoa!
Don't shoot, don't shoot.
This is still my zoo.
What are you
doing here, Mr. Exotic?
I did just see you at
the house, didn't I, huh?
I had to pick up a few things still.
You know, I still live here.
I just had to grab a few things.
How did you get here so fast?
I have a really fast truck.
Come on.
You've seen it in the
music videos, right?
Mr. Exotic, you know,
I've been investigating you.
That's fine.
But, I mean, I'm at my property.
So I mean, I don't know
what I'm doing wrong.
Well, I'm still
keeping an eye but not in you.
And you... you... you watch
yourself, Mr. Exotic.
Yes, sir.
Hello?
Is anyone there?
Is that you, Mr. Exotic?
Hello?
Hello, gator.
What the hell?
Hey, there's the man.
What's going on?
Seth, how are you doing, man.
Long time no see.
Oh, and who is this lovely lady?
This is my lovely lady.
Laura.
Enchant.
Hey, hey, hey!
Don't get so touchy.
Laura, I'm Chuck.
Welcome to my place.
Please, come on in.
Come on in.
Go in here, sweetheart.
Happy to meet with you.
I'm gonna pull up this chair here.
Please have a seat.
Absolutely.
So, what can I help you with?
Well, you're the guy that seems to have
all the info around here.
So obviously, that's
why I'm here, you know.
We're seeking some info about, you know,
Mr. Exotic, the location of
the zoo, his whereabouts.
So come on, man, what can you tell me?
Well, look, Mr. Exotic,
he's a friend of mine.
You might have heard
about the things that
are happening over there, the
incidents that have occurred.
I'm worried about him.
That zoo, all those animals,
it's... it's more than one man
can handle.
He needs help.
What is your plan for helping him?
Well, it's funny you should say that.
You know.
You know a little bit about us.
You got all the info.
We got the money.
And he's very generous.
She knows.
She knows.
Yeah, I can see that.
Well, that's good news.
He could use your help.
We've been thinking about this vision.
And I mean, it's a really big vision.
We can make it happen.
All right, I'm sold.
Look, you know where the zoo is.
It's over at 205, Exotic Way.
You know where that's at?
I got it, all right, baby.
But Mr. Exotic, he's
not there right now.
After everything that's happened,
he needed a place to lie
low, get away from it all,
and kind of replan his next move.
He's over at one of my places.
It's off of Netherton
Drive and Eggleston Hollow.
You can find it on the map.
It's a nifty little cabin, but it's...
It's a good place for him
to plan the next move.
Well, like I said before, we're
the right people to help this
next move transition smoothly.
Got it.
Well, I think we're gonna head on out.
Yeah.
Hey, one more thing, though.
Keep me posted on what's
going on with Mr. Exotic.
You know, he's a friend.
He's going through a hard time.
Well, let me tell you something.
If anybody knows how to take
care of hard times, I'm the guy.
Just ask my lovely, lovely Laura.
Oh, you...
She likes hard times, don't you, baby?
I do.
Let's go play with some cats.
Love the kitty.
Let's go.
Yeah, that baby can purr.
Oof!
Yeah, I feel much better now.
Look at you.
Look at you.
Rrrr.
Still breathing fire
Still singing loud
Still climbing high
Yeah!
You know what?
My voice still ain't back, but I
don't care I got the words down.
Oh, perfect.
Oh, I'm so excited.
Listen, I'm gonna tell you, we
are going to do this deal, OK?
Get everything together.
You got it all written down.
I got it.
Short and sweet, OK?
Just like you, baby.
Whoa.
Whoa, let's do this.
We're gonna be rich.
Every time you get like
this, I get so excited.
Hard times for him, well, it's
gonna be hard times for you
later, baby.
Who would that be?
I'll come back to you.
I wonder who that could be.
Hello?
Hey, my name is Seth, and
this is my limber lady, Laura.
And Chuck sent us.
Chuck?
Yeah.
He was kind of letting us
know about how hard of a time
you've been having.
And you know, when
people have hard times,
I know how to deal with them.
You just ask my lady.
Because she knows about the hard times.
Oh, yes, I do.
But anyway, I was wondering.
We have, like, a... a deal we
could offer you that might
help you get back on your feet.
You have a few minutes
just to listen to our deal?
Chuck sent you guys?
Yeah.
Come on in.
All right, go in here.
All right.
Thanks.
Thanks for having us.
Do you mind if we have a seat?
Go right ahead.
All right, cool.
Come here, baby.
Let we just...
So here's the thing.
You know, we... we're here
in this whole situation.
We want to help you out.
We really do.
Me and her, we have
the money to fund you.
So I just wanna give you a proposition
and see what you think about it.
What do you say?
Yeah, come on, baby, get over there.
There you go.
Hi.
Hello.
So we have a sweet deal for you.
We're gonna offer you 100k,
and you get $10,000 right off
the bat, play money to
do whatever you want.
Now, we're gonna take 80% of all sales
from the zoo, the merchandise,
and you get the other 20%
And all you have to
do is sign right here.
You guys get 80%?
Yeah, it's a good deal.
It's 10k.
Listen, it seems...
10k right off the bat.
It seems like a lot,
but trust me, it's not.
You're gonna make out so good, so good.
Yes.
Just sign.
You know, I know what
you guys are trying to do,
but I kind of feel like maybe a
little bit more and not so much.
Ooh.
Have you heard of ZZ Top?
Sharp-dressed man.
No.
Listen, just let's stick to the plan.
Let's talk about money.
We don't need to talk about...
Let's get real then.
Let's talk about money, nothing funny.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm a smart man.
Don't mess with me.
Don't... don't try...
I know you are.
That's why we're here.
Make the right decision.
And in a week's time, I'm gonna
see what you do with this.
Things can change
dramatically in a week's time.
It's right there.
And I get part of
this just to play with...
Absolutely.
Whatever I want?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're helping you get back to
where you need to be, right?
Don't you wanna get
back to where you were?
I'm here.
All right.
Then, let's do this.
10,000 Benjamins right off the bat.
Let's do this.
You know what?
How can you resist that...
I can't resist that offer, but...
Good man.
Let's do it.
All right.
We got this.
A week's time.
Let's do it.
I'm gonna see you in a week.
Let's see what you got.
All right.
You ready?
You ready, baby?
Thank you.
All right, let's go.
All yours, buddy.
All right.
Good luck.
You know, I probably should
have thought that over.
But I mean, $10,000, and then
I get a portion of everything
after, and they're gonna
do all the work for me.
I mean, I don't know what they
were trying to do with her,
but I mean, his...
His beard, little billy
goat gruff action.
We did it, baby.
Yeah!
Oh, my god.
This is... oh, you're amazing.
You are a bomb.
You're amazing.
Oh, my god.
Listen, things are about to pop up.
Hold on a second.
You gotta get off me.
I'm gonna... oh,
yeah settle down.
All right.
Let's go.
Oh, shit.
I forgot... I forgot about
the other deal, though.
Fallon.
Damn it.
I'm sorry.
I forgot to put it in the contract.
Shit.
What the heck?
Y'all forget something?
Yeah, matter of fact, I did.
Listen, that contract, we had
a little stipulation in there.
I forgot all about it.
Hold on one second.
Fallon, come here.
Hold on.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Step back, step back.
This is the handyman
OK, I was talking about.
That's in the contract
if you didn't read it.
And he takes care of all the things.
But the thing is, he
needs a place to crash.
He can't really... go, back up.
I mean, he can't really stay with me
because, like, when I'm
taking care of my business,
he's just sitting there
drooling, like, really weird,
like a...
Like a wild animal, man.
Like, I just... yeah, exactly.
He's drooling on his shoulder right now.
Come on, man.
But he needs a place to crash, OK?
But in return, just like that
deal we just sealed with you,
he takes care of all the stuff on site.
He is gonna be really detrimental
to this whole project.
So, yeah.
Yeah, come on.
Fallon.
Fallon.
Hey.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah.
Yeah, where am I sleeping?
Is he house trained?
Well, you might have to
get a litter box or something,
but I mean...
I mean, we've got
a spot in the backyard, maybe.
That's perfect.
That'll work, right?
You got this, buddy.
Fallon.
You got this.
Nice to meet you.
Fallon.
Awesome.
Oh, there he is making
himself at home already.
It's all good.
You're kidding me!
No, I'm not kidding.
He can't come home.
Me and her got some
business to take care of,
and he really can't be
staring at us all that much.
I mean, it's very uncomfortable.
And that was in the contract?
Yes.
You didn't read it?
I showed you everything.
We talked about that.
I showed it to you.
I read you everything.
This is a steal deal.
This is gonna work out...
Remember, you got a week.
He's gonna whip everything into
shape for you in a week's time.
There's breakables in here.
You... put them outside.
You got... you got a nice
backyard back there.
Just do that.
Yeah.
All right.
You'll be all right.
Have fun.
And, I mean, he might even go your way.
I have no idea.
But he's a little weird, man.
I'm not gonna lie.
He's... let's get
out of here, baby.
Get better books on.
Second place.
I wouldn't at first if you
actually were me, right?
Hey!
You know what?
I should have won first place.
But you know what?
It doesn't even matter.
Put it down.
Down!
Sorry.
No, no.
Come on.
Come on.
How you doing?
No, not real.
Hey, come on.
Hey.
Hey!
Hey!
Hungry?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There you go.
Go get it.
There you go.
There you go.
There you go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, man.
Yeah.
Good boy.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You know what?
I think he'll be just fine.
You got this.
You're good.
Wrong.
Guy.
Yo?
Hello?
Alan?
No, Bev?
All right.
Good night.
He's got it.
Well, come on.
What is this poor thing you're showing?
I know that Mr. Exotic
is up to something.
I'm gonna show him.
I'm gonna go to Oklahoma myself.
He's not gonna expect that.
That news report was way too damning.
I'm gonna take care of it myself.
What's he gonna say, mm?
What's he gonna say?
Oh, I'm just taking a break.
Oh, no.
We're gonna see what break
you're taking from the zoo,
right, Snuffles?
I know he's up to something, and I'm
gonna find out exactly what he's up to.
Hi there.
It's Chuck.
Hi.
I heard that you could give me
some information about what's
going on at the zoo.
Oh, I'd love to.
Who is this lovely
lady I'm speaking with?
My name is Sharell.
And I am just so concerned that no one
is taking care of those
poor animals down there.
I saw all over the news.
And I am... I'm deeply
concerned at what's going on.
You know, Sharell, you're not alone.
I'm sure you know all about the tigers.
They're 10 feet long.
They eat, like, 90 pounds of food a day.
They could take you out in one sitting.
But look, we know they got problems?
Mr. Exotic, I'm afraid those
things are gonna consume him
literally or figuratively.
So, look, I've been trying to help.
I... I put him in
touch with this guy
who said he wanted to
help out with the zoo.
Really?
Well, that's so kind of you.
Do you happen to know his name?
Yes, a guy that I've been
friends with for a while, Seth.
He... he's probably going to
be a good thing for the zoo.
He wants to put some money into
it, bringing it back up to par.
Oh, that's so wonderful.
So I do have a question.
How long is it going to take
to get everything right again?
Is anybody rounding up these animals?
Is anybody making sure that they're safe?
Look, all I can tell you
is I put Mr. Exotic in touch
with Seth.
They're gonna work that out.
I'm sure they're gonna
meet up at the park.
I don't know how long it's gonna take.
I know that man needs help.
I think he does.
I think he needs lots of help.
Well, there's some things that
I have to find out for myself.
You have a good one now.
Hey, you too.
And be sure and let me know
what you find out, won't you?
Surely.
It looks like I'm gonna have to
find out what's going on myself.
Hey, open mind.
You gotta believe me it
wasn't like this when
I went to sleep last night.
Open mind?
Wipe your shoes.
I don't want you to get dirt in here.
Jeez, man.
What the hell?
What kind of shit are
you pulling, Exotic?
I went to sleep last
night, and it was fine.
This was perfect.
Couple of beer bottles, maybe
a couple people laying around,
but not like this.
This is what you're doing with
the funds we're getting you?
Like, you're just partying?
It's not about a fucking party, man!
How much money did I already invest?
This ain't for your political things.
This ain't for your stupid
honky-tonk bullshit, lip sync,
fudge-packing music.
It's gonna take off.
My music is gonna take off.
I was on the phone with
record producer today.
It took off, all right?
Look at this place, dude.
Maybe we're filming a
music video, and I forgot.
I don't know.
Like, I don't remember any of this.
I can't believe this, man.
It's bullshit.
I need your help, though, man.
You can fix this.
I know you can fix this.
I can only help you so much.
Haven't I helped you enough?
How much money did your mom give you?
Like, it's not enough!
Leave my mom out of this, OK?
I'm giving you enough.
I've given you enough of this.
Everything I've given you.
And you're just pissing the money away.
This ain't a frigging party!
Exotic, get your head
out of your fucking ass,
besides putting things up your ass, OK?
Get your shit together, dude.
Now, did you...
I can't wait to see
the rest of this place.
In one night, this happened,
one freaking night?
Like, this is unbelievable.
Show me the rest of the place,
because if this is what I gotta
look forward to out
there, too, we're in a lot
of friggin' trouble, man.
Like, get your shit together.
Let's go, man.
Lead the way.
I am never gonna financially
recover from this.
Look, out here, it's not so bad.
Maybe we just got crazy in the house.
Like, it's not... I mean,
I still got a door there.
The door is still there.
So bad?
The cages are still here.
It's not so bad.
Come on.
Look.
You got beer goggles on?
Take a look at this place.
It's really not that bad.
It's gonna cost at least
$500,000 to bring this place
back to where it probably was.
And you've got it.
I feel like you don't have
money all of a sudden.
I didn't call if you didn't have money.
Man.
All you do is flash it.
You are driving me to fucking drinking.
Not that I didn't drink
before, but I'm drinking a...
Little diamond earrings...
Little bit more.
Diamond glass, and act like you
don't have any money all of a sudden.
Listen, I got money.
Well, I also got money
from my hoes, dude, OK?
You don't have to worry
about needing money for that.
This is bullshit.
Here's the problem.
This is your problem, dude.
You're too stuck with this fame bullshit.
I want the money.
Do you think this is gonna
generate money for us.
That's why this is gonna work out.
I'm not concerned with the money.
Oh, I know you're not.
I just want to be the face.
You spent... you did
a bang-up job here.
Now, here's the thing, man.
Hear me out, OK?
Let's say I want to do this
again and help you out and give
you the funds.
We're gonna start doing
some things my way.
I got a guy, Fallon, all right?
You trust me?
He's a good handyman.
He might be able to whip
this place back into shape.
And I say might.
I can't promise this, because this is...
This is collateral damage, man.
Can I ask you a serious question?
Yeah.
Is it cute?
Oh, my god!
Listen, stop worrying about
fudgepacker dude and country
music, and get your
shit together, you know.
If you wanna keep fudgepacking,
get a chocolate factory
in the fucking gift shop.
Oh, you didn't even show
me the gift shop yet.
We're going.
Is that wrecked?
We're going.
You do sell chocolate there, don't you?
Obviously.
Christ!
Exotic, you're giving me
a splitting headache, man.
And I'm not talking
about this handkerchief
being too tight on my head.
Looks good on you.
See, it's not so bad.
Cage is still here.
Christ, Exotic.
Oh, my god.
Four of these, that's fine.
Still in one piece...
I'm surprised these are
still standing, actually.
I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
Still sturdy, all right.
Fallon might be able to
work with this stuff.
A little faith in me.
You want to see that gift shop?
I don't know if I do or not.
You wanna see that gift shop.
I got these CDs and DVDs in there.
I got autographed magazines.
Oh, my god.
You're gonna love it!
Oh, my goodness.
Where is everyone?
I should have seen somebody by now.
Where are the tigers?
Oh, those poor creatures.
I've got to find the tigers.
I don't imagine it
usually looks like this.
Where are those poor animals?
Every cage is open.
Somebody needs to be on this.
Where are those poor creatures?
Where did the animals go?
I'm gonna find them.
Here, kitty, kitty.
Here, kitty, kitty.
I would have expected to see someone
by now, or at least one cat.
Well.
Let me handle this.
What are you doing in my park, Sharell?
Your park?
Yes.
That's not what the deed says.
I thought you said you were going to have
someone take care of this.
I'm taking... I'm
here, aren't I not?
Hold on a second, OK?
You don't need to say anymore.
We got this under control, OK?
We know what we're doing.
And this is not your concern.
This discussion is over, OK?
My concern is with the
animals, which, where are they?
They're being taken care of.
Yes.
Taken care of?
Yes.
And what do you mean by that?
That's as far as I'm
gonna go with you, OK?
We're taking care of them.
What have you done to these cats?
Listen, that's for me to know and for you
to find out later, OK?
I have people who can find out for me.
Don't you have a bicycle
to ride or something?
Yeah, you don't need to
worry about those cats,
all right, lady?
Hey, guys.
It's my favorite people.
Look at this.
Look at Mr. Exotic.
Mm-mm-m.
Looking great, man.
How many tigers do you have here now?
What are you doing here, Chuck?
Yeah, how many tigers do you have here?
What are you doing here, Chuck?
You know, I'm just...
Just having a good time, man,
just seeing what's going on.
I... I didn't think
you'd be here.
I thought you'd be at that
place that I'm letting you use.
How do you even know I'm here?
Yeah, really.
I know things.
You know I love people.
I know people.
I like to know what's going on.
Well, look at that.
Somebody else who doesn't
have their head up their ass
around here, huh?
Yeah, I guess so.
She knows everything.
You know everything.
I will know everything.
Oh, is that right?
I have people.
Is that right?
We will find out.
Let's go.
Conversation's done.
We'll find out what happened to tigers?
We got... we
got work to do.
And we can't work with you
guys standing around here, OK?
We don't need supervisors.
You guys need to get off the property.
Be sure that you handle it.
Oh, I'm gonna handle it.
We're not done here.
Be safe, fellas.
Love ya.
I swear, she's been
a thorn in my sight for years.
I don't know why she's here.
I don't even know how she got here.
Well, listen, it's
not for any good reason.
I told her I could handle it.
She literally called me, and
the next thing she's here.
Like, I don't understand.
Well, she's sticking her
head where it don't belong.
I'm sure you would hope it's up your ass,
but that's a different story.
But, you know, I'm happy to see Chuck.
Like, he set me up with that place.
Like, that's a calming part of this
to make it worth her
being there doesn't just
piss me off a little bit more.
Hey, it kind of is.
I mean, look.
Like, look at this, like...
Yeah.
Let me get a look this side here.
The bones are still here.
Like, hold on, because...
Here's...
Here's the good news.
After all you fucked
up, the positive thing
is, at least these are standing.
Yeah.
I can't say so much
for the other structures,
but I mean, we've got a lot
of fucking damage here, man.
Yeah.
But I mean, all we gotta do
is get them back in here,
and we're fine.
A couple new locks, doors
still closed, like it's still...
I mean, there's a little
bit of wear and tear,
you know, with some rust damage.
But I'll get Fallon on that.
You could probably get this repaired.
I mean, he's... he's don't have...
He's not the sharpest tool
in the shed, but he's
good with his hands.
Dude, he was fine.
I put him in a little
kids pool last night
on the porch with some snacks.
And like, he was fine.
I came up that morning,
like, he was curled up
on top of the newspaper, like,
just ready to give it to me.
He's like some Mongoloid, I don't know,
half-breed mutant from Pennsyltucky.
But anyway.
He's a hard worker.
He is.
I'm hoping he can do something
with this, because I mean,
we got this.
At least, the cages are up still.
There's rust damage.
He's gonna have to Polish
that shit off of there,
whatever the fuck he does.
I mean, the positive...
There's something to start with.
We're not starting from the ground up.
Like, it's... the
bones are still here.
Like, integral wise, like...
But the thing is, from this
point on, I'm taking over, OK?
Because you just proved in a week's time
that you can't have total control.
Look at this.
I mean, you really
fucked this up, man, OK?
You gotta understand, I'm a businessman.
All my money and funds
are going into this,
so we have to, from this
point, run smoothly, OK?
I got upset with you out there.
I'm starting to calm down.
My moods a little bit changing, OK?
I'm trying to get a
clear head of this shit,
but you're gonna have to fucking
listen to somebody with...
You know.
Just remember what we talked about.
I'm fine with you having the money,
but I am the face of this park.
It's like I told you.
It's not about the fame, OK?
To me, it is.
What?
Fuck.
Here she comes.
Listen, you thought I was fucking bad?
Wait, until you hear this shit now.
What, you think I'm afraid of her?
She was on my lap last night.
Hey, babe, come on.
Come on in here.
Have you seen this shit?
Like, look at this.
The place is a disaster.
I know.
I already know.
Listen, baby, calm those
tits down, all right?
Hold on a second.
No, I'm not calm.
And you, I gave you
10,000 fucking dollars.
And this is the shit
that you're telling us?
Like, what the hell, Seth?
Babe.
Fix it.
I got it under control.
Calm down.
Listen... listen, this
is... this is bad,
but we're gonna fix it, OK?
I promise, all right?
We... we were just
talking about this.
It's fine.
Like, everything's still here.
Yeah...
It's not that big of a deal.
What's fine?
What is fine about this?
He's still a little delusional,
but I'm trying to get
him on the right path.
From this point on, we're
gonna take over, OK?
We're still gonna assist
him, but we're taking over.
You got it?
But let's go.
I gotta talk to you.
Yeah.
Hold on a second.
I gotta talk to her.
Go fix this.
Come here, come here.
Listen.
Listen, I know it looks bad.
No, it's real fucking bad.
I know. but listen...
Have you looked around?
Have you looked?
I have video.
I've been looking.
I've been looking.
Seth.
OK, but listen, you're not
looking at the big picture
like I am, OK?
Here... here's the thing.
He signed those papers.
You got him to sign those papers.
He don't even know this
park isn't his anymore.
It's ours.
We're gonna take control
from him, make all the money.
This place, once we fix
this back up, look at this,
we're gonna get all the funds from this.
And then.
I mean...
You better fix this.
We're gonna
make... we're gonna...
Make it work.
It's gonna be OK.
It's going to be OK.
What it is.
Hey, you think I can't hear you morons?
I'm gonna shred up that
contract right now.
You can't.
It's already signed.
It's already signed.
Go ahead and try.
You think I haven't gotten
out of this shit before?
Yeah
Yeah.
You never dealt with the likes of us.
All right, listen, it's our stuff.
We're not gonna...
Today was a good day.
That's the good stuff.
We're making it
happen for Mr. Exotic.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I figured it out.
Did you?
Your reputation is trash.
I have all the documentation I need.
You're done.
Oh, Sharell, you really
think the documentation,
or any of that, is what
I've been concerned with?
Absolutely.
I have the documentation as to what's
happened to all these
animals, that you have
done this yourself to the zoo.
You ruined it.
You have ruined this place and
the homes of all these animals.
You know, you do have a
point about this being my fault
and this being done myself, but I still
don't think you have it figured out yet.
I have documentation for all of it.
Oh, man, am I gonna enjoy this?
Enjoy this?
You're done.
Your reputation and all your
wannabe famous... you're done.
You're done.
At least, you will be when my
lawyers get through with you.
Who are they gonna sue?
I never even said I was him.
Like...
God, you're so stupid.
You still don't know.
Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this.
You're not Mr. Exotic?
