selling the property with the stipulation that whoever comes on board and buys
the property is going to care and maintain these endangered animals.
Benjamin: Oh come on…

staff on board and … you know. If no one buys this property soon, these animals
will probably, have to be… Uh… (Mr Stevens and Benjamin look at Rosie)
