**Flora:** Evals, I'm glad you're happy. But I think you should be careful not to get your hopes up too high.
**Evals:** Huh?
**Flora:** I've been where you are. When I first escaped, I went back to my people too. But I had no friends, and I never found any of my family.
**Flora:** I was just... alone. It didn't turn out like I'd hoped it would.
**Evals:** Yeah, okay, but then everything worked out for the best, right? I'll be fine! I don't know how tigers are, but we dogs are communal. We stick together!
**Evals:** Back home, I had over two dozen brothers and sisters, and twice as many cousins! Everyone was family. And I _**know**_ they're still out there, somewhere. I was the only one dumb enough to wander too far out and get caught.
**Evals:** You know, Mike... I can put in a good word for you with some of the lady dogs!
**Evals:** I'm sure they'll all come to love you like I do. Trust me, it'll be great! You'll be a part of the family in no time.
**Mike:** _Uh..._ Evals... I'm not going to be there.
**Evals:** What? Of course you will be!
