- Tristan, if you wouldn't mind?
- Dispensary, mixing the medicines, feeding the animals.
Got it.
- We could be putting Tristan to better use.
Maybe it's time he had a list of his own.
- To conquer the ziggurat of life, one must climb the first step.
- Quite right, big brother.

- We'd be freed up to do the farm work more quickly, and it would allow us to take on more small animals.
- We are, principally, a farm practice.
- More and more people are keeping pets now.
- Yes, why people keep animals as pets is beyond me.
A dog should have a function.
Let it be used for farm work, for shooting, for guiding, not just hanging about the place.
(phone ringing) Where's Jess?
- What about Mrs.
Tompkin's budgerigar, for instance?
It only needs its beak clipped.
Surely, Tristan can take that one on by himself.
- Yes, I suppose there's only so much harm he can do.
