- Dylan Mee: I guess I just can't talk to girls that well.
- Kelly Foster: Well, talking to girls is easy. They'll tell you everything. The secret to talking is listening
- Benjamin Mee: I want you to know, I think you're incredibly pretty. Please don't take offense if I don't hit on you.
- Kelly Foster: I'd be offended if you did.
- Benjamin Mee: Good.
- Kelly Foster: I'm a big fan of people being exactly who they are.
- Benjamin Mee: Exactly.
- Kelly Foster: So we think alike.
- Benjamin Mee: We do.
- Kelly Foster: And if I wanted to be kissed by you, you wouldn't have a choice.
- Benjamin Mee: Thank you. I think. I don't doubt that. What did we just say?
- Kelly Foster: I don't know.
- Lily Miska: [to Kelly during the opening of the zoo] If you had to choose between people and animals, who would you pick?
- [Kelly doesn't answer]
- Lily Miska: Me, too. People!
- Kelly Foster: You goofball.
- Benjamin Mee: The posts in the cages?
- Kelly Foster: The posts in what? Look, they're not called cages, they're called enclosures. They haven't been called cages in like a century. My brief marriage, that was a cage.
- Benjamin Mee: Not mine.
- Robin Jones: Well, Ferris lusts you.
- Kelly Foster: I'm not takin' one for the team, if that's what you're gettin' after.
- Dylan Mee: Dad'll be back soon. He's just having a mood.
- Kelly Foster: Yeah? How long do those last?
- Dylan Mee: A couple of years.
- Kelly Foster: Tigers and lions are very different. Tigers don't growl or roar, they chuff. Like, umph-umph-umph. Umph-umph-umph.
- Rosie Mee: Umph-umph-umph.
- Kelly Foster: Yeah. When you chuff at them, they chuff back.
- Kelly Foster: He's 17. He's a Bengal tiger. You know, tigers have special sensors in the front of their two-inch canines. They can actually detect the pulse in your aorta. So when they attack, they bite you, take your pulse with their teeth, reposition those suckers and boom, there goes your carotid.
- Kelly Foster: You're doing very well. You know, I expected you to be heading for the hills by now.
- Benjamin Mee: Well, we got through today.
- Kelly Foster: Yeah, we got through today.
- Kelly Foster: I'm gonna distract him from the other side of this enclosure and you're gonna not get eaten!
- Kelly Foster: I have a question for you. You're some random guy from the city. No one in the zoo community has ever heard of you. You know nothing about animals. And you've moved into a dump. I mean, what kind of regular person just up and buys a place like this? Especially somebody with kids. Why? You have no idea what we've been dealing with here. We used to have three times the staff. They all quit. I'm 28. I never go out. I'm here every day. My girlfriends, they text me, they're out livin' their lives, meeting guys named Brett, and I'm here shovellin' shit. Bear shit! I'm pathetic! I had to move back in with my mother. No one gets paid, Ben - jamin. We need somebody who can really take charge of this place or else we and all these animals are gone.
- Benjamin Mee: So your question is?
- Kelly Foster: Why did you buy this place?
- Benjamin Mee: Why not?
