you and the lion will have to work something out

In the news story After Ike, Texas survivors clamor for gas, food , it talks about rescuers trying to evacuate communities.  However, not everybody will be rescued.

Of particular concern is a resident who collects exotic animals who is now holed up in a Baptist church with his pet lion. "We're not going in there," Jones said. "We know where he (the lion) is on the food chain."
