I kind of feel bad for Thomas, even if he was kind of a jerk. Oh, well maybe we will have something like King were he ends up find love, joy, peace and all that good stuff.

Take your camel and ride out, Steward,
your services are no longer required.
In case you’d not gotten the gist
the truth is, my friend, you’re fired.
Oh, I knew about the curse all right,
I just didn’t bother to inform you.
I knew you’d never believe it, see,
I refused to give you the clue.
So my power on the money returns
and you’re now out of my way.
In my capable paws the world turns
and now they’ll hear what I say.

Why didn't Keene mention the treasure was unspendable to Sabrina at the End Of Year Nine? Thomas was quick to confront someone about his camelness. I wonder if he'll be like King and try to hide his former-human past from most people.

Good to see Keene was two steps ahead on that front.

Yeah, Thomas, look on the bright side. Like I said before, at least you got a girlfriend.

This is absolutely hilarious. Congratulations, bad guys, you just got hussled by a ferret.

Love how nonchalant Keene looks and sounds here.

On one hand, you're not going to jail!

On the other hand, you're a camel!

But on the other other hand, you're going to camel jail!

But on the OTHER other other hand, you're STILL a camel! :)

1. She made him mad.

2. He knows she's not stupid enough to take any. If she thinks he is? Just gives him an advantage.

OK Thomas, you can keep threatening Steward if you want, but now is the time to really start sucking up to Keene. Keep in mind he is the one that will have primary say in what happens to you in both the immediate and long-term future.

If that is your real name.
we don't know how long he's been working against the ferrets, and he was chosen as their steward specifically for his name. Maybe he changed his name so he'd be chosen.

Or in Thomas's case, the zoo. Or the Pound.

Hopefully Jeeves gets selected as the ferrets' trustee.

Aww, Keene, you could have *used* that curse to bring equality between humans and animals!

Plus, if it was the Milton Billions, you're entitled to it.

Keene does know the curse only applies to humans right? "No human hands can touch it"? It was basically made for the ferrets to use.

Day of reckoning for the accountant. Be interesting, though, to see what the ferrets do now that their access to the Milton Trillions is unrestrained. Maybe Jeeves also does sums.

Even so I wouldn't risk to test it myself.

Would you?

Can be a "new King" but it's still different (because he didn't choose to be an animal obviously; it's a curse. Although I hope it turns out permanently and don't come any deity to lift it). I want to see the conclution of this. :333

Neither did King at first, he was origionally tricked into agreeing to Pete's terms retroactively, which kitsune put an end to.

It still would be difficult to use. Keene can touch it sure, but gold isn't useful as a currency in and of itself, it needs to be sold at an exchange...which is run by humans.

Or he could have tossed coins at lawyers and law students. They’d be eager to pick the coins up. Then you’d have a bunch of law-savvy animals fighting for animal rights.

They're domesticated but harder to handle than horses, and they're not ordinarily found as farm animals outside a limited range. So they're not seen as pets or working animals by 'οἱ πολλοί.

Eh, at least you're still alive, camel Thomas. :P You're a dromedary, precisely, with one hump. ;) Eh, so Keene knew the danger, and he never informed Steward about it. Well done. :D You got other troubles now, Steward. :P

You'd think it's weird seeing a camel walk into your mansion ~ big enough to be knocking everything over and coming from the other sides of the country and just being tall enough to squeeze through your doors.

but this is Babylon country ~ There are wolves in this mansion!

Possible awkward future moment when Thomas, having be restored earlier, returns to the zoo for a visit and a young camel runs up to the fence and excitedly greets her Daddy. The looks on the faces of the other humans would be worth it alone.

I can't see it working smoothly into any story line. At best a Storyboard one shot.

Just dawned on me today, but it's funny to think that Milton tested this theory on one of the humans before passing away ~ then we learn it was Milton himself that tested it. He just got the lucky draw that he, infact, became a ferret.

That, or Keene tested it on someone and this secret test subject has been running around all this time amongst the pets.

Seeing all the events he's gone through in the temple , i don't think Thomas got enough time to do "it" with Sofia :oops:
