Ext. Early morning in a chilly barn-type building. The guests in the audience can faintly hear lion cubs roaring and some other animal noises.

Jane: Welcome to Wildlife in Need! We are all glad you could join us here today! Who’s ready to cuddle some tigers?

Audience: *still tired with glazed over eyes* Murmurs are heard in the building over the faint animal sounds.
