Quotes
-
Alice Perrin : Be careless!
Oliver Yates : You too.
-
Bronte Judson : Do leopards eat pizza?
Joe Creigh : Well, they're scavengers. He probably raided a garbage can before he went to the massage parlor.
Alice Perrin : Doesn't look like he went there out of hunger.
Joe Creigh : Maybe he was horny!
-
Alice Perrin : Jesus, don't encourage these assholes, please.
Irena Gallier : How do you not encourage them?
Alice Perrin : I tell them I'm gay.
-
Alice Perrin : So, what happened?
Irena Gallier : Um, what did - what - I don't remember, what did...
Alice Perrin : The boy you liked.
Irena Gallier : Oh, right! So, you know, we petted and stuff like that. He wanted to go all the way and so did I; but, I don't know, I got scared. He looked so...
Alice Perrin : What?
Irena Gallier : Huge!
Alice Perrin : God! What's his name? Quick.
-
Irena Gallier : I guess I'm a romantic at heart. When it's right, it'll happen. It'll be magical.
Alice Perrin : I'm not knocking it. Here's to the magic.

Detective Brandt : Take a look. There's pieces of three or four bodies in there. Probably more buried around.
Alice Perrin : Oh, God.
Detective Brandt : I expect Gallier killed them first. Possibly as part of some ritual. Then, fed 'em to the leopard. We found some others over the years. Mostly prositutes, female runaways, half eaten, genitals torn out.

Alice Perrin : If you want to get laid, you can do a lot better than that, believe me.
Irena Gallier : Say, I was just being friendly. I was not trying to get laid.
Alice Perrin : Occasionally, they're compatible.
Irena Gallier : I wouldn't know.
Alice Perrin : How come?
Irena Gallier : I just never met anybody I liked enough to have sex with.
Alice Perrin : Never?
Irena Gallier : Not so far, no.
Alice Perrin : Really? You're still a virgin?
Irena Gallier : Come on, don't make it sound so perverse.
Alice Perrin : Oh, no, no. Not at all. I just - incomprehensible, maybe. Especially these days!

Bill Searle : he's not so dangerous in a cage.
Oliver Yates : When we get finished testing we're going to have to free up some of these other exhibits so we can give this new leopard some extra space.
Bill Searle : You're going to have to disarm him.
Bronte Judson : What does that involve?
Oliver Yates : Not much. Cut its claws, root canals. File and crown it's fangs. There's a dentist in town that does the work. Uh.. Radenauer.
Bronte Judson : Tom Radenauer?
Oliver Yates : Yeah, he does people too.
Bronte Judson : Yeah I know he's my dentist. Shit Oliver, we don't have the funds for this. You know how it's been coming down lately. Aren't there any other alternatives.
Oliver Yates : Not really. Because of its history it's no good for breeding. If we try trading it to another zoo I'm afraid it's erratic behavior they just wouldn't take it.
Bill Searle : You could euthanize it.
Bronte Judson : What's that kill it?
Oliver Yates : It's not an acceptable solution.
Bronte Judson : How much would that cost?
Oliver Yates : I said it's not acceptable.
Bronte Judson : Can we at least discuss it?
Oliver Yates : Look I'll put up with being underbudgeted and understaffed and the fact that these exhibits we're built in 1901 and are falling apart but I will not put up with that crap.
Bronte Judson : Fine, calm down. I only asked.
Alice Perrin : Looks like we have a gourmet leopard on our hands. He threw up in the cage, Joe found pizza in the vomit.
Joe Creigh : Yeah, sure did. Ew pepperoni.
Bronte Judson : Leopards eat pizza?
Joe Creigh : Well there's scavengers, he probably raided a garbage can before he went to the massage parlor.
Alice Perrin : Doesn't look like he went there out of hunger.
Joe Creigh : Maybe he was horny. Always the possibility.
Oliver Yates : Anything else?
Alice Perrin : Nothing. No worms, no distemper, no encephalitis. Whoever owns him takes good care of him.
Oliver Yates : Sure does. He's a superb cat.
Bill Searle : [indifferent] a superb cat? He's a menace.
