Don't get this one. I see the lion but I'm not sure how this correlates to the horse taking
I’m not sure but maybe it’s “talk or we’ll let the lion eat you”.
I’m guessing it means the horse is going to talk, in an interrogation sense. I don’t know for sure though.
I don't mean to be old-splaining here, but familiarity with Mr. Ed helps. It was in syndication during the '80s, so I remember it as a hokey show with a pretty catchy theme song. The question of "how did they get that horse to move his lips" in time to the voiceovers was a valid question. (Answer: mostly peanut butter).
In the Larsenverse, however, the horse requires no voiceover. He just needs to be properly motivated.
I know what Mr Ed was. My question was specially about the Lions role
Scare the horse via threat of attack, speak or die essentially.
