He wanted to work with him on the stadium, but Julius refuses to work with him as he was too old to own any businesses in the jungle. Tommy begs Julius for his race, and finally he accepts the offer.

While working on the stadium, a leopard named Gordon (Albert Brooks) was furious that Julius was gonna work with Tommy on the stadium, so he was gonna build a predatory stadium to attract more visitors then them's.
