Doctor Dolittle Page #6

- You know, he just might.

- And what would he say?

I'd say you were a butthead.

I really like this cat.

He's recommending you stay

a minimum of ten days.

You really think I need to be here

for that long?

You said that you can talk to animals.

You know, I can really hear 'em.

Hey. I can.

You gotta believe me.

I can't.

Here you go. Your medicine.

OK, then.

I can get you anything you need.

Saucers, coasters...

Go away.

If you have any extra medication,

I could use it.

You're not following me, are you? Whoa!

- Now, what is all this?

- This is to prove to me and the world...

...that you can actually talk to animals.

Now, the orang-utan is attached to

this brain-wave monitor.

Normally he responds to

visual stimulation, but...

...since you have got the gift of gab, you won't

need pictures to make him respond, will ya?

Get acquainted, John.

OK, listen. I need your help. I need you

to make that needle over there move...

...cos if you don't

they'll make me stay here for ever. OK?

So just... make the little needle jump.

Come on.

I know you can hear me now, so don't play.

This is very serious right now.

I guess he's just not a... big talker, John.

Look, gimme a break. Say something, please.

Please escort Dr Dolittle back to his room.

! Adis, y muchas gracias por nada!

- Wait. You speak Spanish?

- Yo hablo, t hablas...

That's why he couldn't understand.

He's from south of the border.

- Remove him. Go.

- Turn that machine back on. Me llamo se...

Spanish...

- Me... me...

- Eh, t conoces Will Smith?

I'm worried, John.

Who are you trying to fool?

You're worrying about Calnet.

John... I admit it.

I want the money. I'm not ashamed of that.

Look, here's what I want you to do for me.

Just stop barking and chirping for one day.

If you do, I'm pretty sure

you can get out of here.

And that'd be a really good idea...

...because Calloway said if you're not back

for Friday's press conference, the deal's off.

If you would do that for me, Johnny...

I'll buy you a rat farm.

And you can... you can burp and fart

the little rats till you pass out!

But let's just get it signed. OK, my shot.

Pick it up. Pick the phone up, please.

Hi. We're not here. Leave a message.

Hey! Hi, it's me.

I'm really startin' to miss you guys.

I'm starting to wonder

what I'm doing here too.

Maybe you were right.

Maybe it was all my imagination.

- Hey, honey, feelin' better?

- Who's this?

I'll give you a hint. I'm cute, I'm furry

and I make 500 babies a year.

Rodney. Get back in your cage!

What's up with that trap behind the fridge?

You tryin' to kill me?

Never mind that.

Get your little furry ass back in your cage!

Now! I don't want your droppings on...

Bye-bye.

My son Rodney.

Little hairy boy, sleeps in the cage.

I have to keep him in the cage

cos he has... hygiene problems.

He's not coming back.

I can't believe I fell for it.

- Oh, boy, I'm getting dizzy!

- Man, you don't look so good.

Look who's talking!

What do the three of you know?

- Uh-oh.

- I'm in bad shape.

Ow, my head!

What kind of a name is Ed for a horse?

What kind of a name is Wilbur for a man?

Peanut butter. That's how they

got the horse to move his lips.

- In the back of the mouth.

- I disagree, sir.

- Side. The side.

- Look, look. See his jaw?

- See? See?

- The oesophagus, yes.

- He's not talking. That's an act.

- No, no, no.

Finish what you were talking about.

- No, he's...

- Full teeth. Full teeth!

Psst, doc! Out here! Doc! Hey, over here!

What are you doin' here?

I crossed three freeways to rescue you

and all I get is "What are you doing here?"

- This isn't a prison. It's a clinic.

- The tiger's in bad shape.

The tiger?! Listen, forget the tiger.

I had a perfect life until you came along

and started talkin' to me.

Now I'm sittin' here in a robe

discussin' Mr Ed with these guys.

You've ruined my life enough. Just go away.

Just get outta here, please. This is crazy!

Oh, I get it.

Now it's crazy to want to save a tiger's life.

Listen, tigers die every day.

It's called nature.

Let me tell you a little about nature.

I'm a dog, and I act like a dog.

I don't try to be anybody else.

We are who we are.

And you are a doctor who can talk to animals.

That's who you are.

- That is not who I am.

- Stop lying to yourself.

Didn't I tell you to get outta here?

Go! Get outta here!

- Get outta here!

- Fine.

- Stop talkin' to me!

- With pleasure.

You better not come back! Haaah!

- Bonehead.

- That's all of you!

Leave me alone! Stop talkin' to me!

- Ruined his life. That's a laugh!

- Aaagghh!

Aaaaggghhh!

Aaaaggghhh!

Aaagghh!

- OK, Blain, look. I wanna go home.

- So soon? And miss the field trip to the zoo?

Listen.

You've hated me since medical school...

...but we are both adults now.

Let's put that behind us.

We both have families.

I want to get back to mine. How do I do that?

Well, it's very simple.

Stop talking to animals, John.

Simple.

All right, listen.

You're right. I made a mistake.

Maybe it was a case of temporary insanity,

but it's over. I don't talk to animals any more.

I'm not convinced.

We'll talk again in a month or so, OK?

Tell you what, Blain.

You sign my release form...

...and I won't tell our fellow doctor friends

about that pink tutu you keep in your closet.

With the thong back.

- Daddy's home.

- Daddy? Hey, Daddy!

- Hey, beautiful, how are you?

- Oh, I'm fine.

- Hey, baby.

- Wh?

- Why didn't you call me?

- I wanted to surprise you.

- Hey, why aren't you in camp, young lady?

- Mom brought her home.

I didn't fit in.

You're just gonna have to try a little harder

next year. Gimme a hug. I missed you.

- Still Daddy's baby, huh?

- Honey?

Do they know that you... left?

No, I escaped(!) Of course they know I left.

I'm better. Time to spend some time with you.

Are you not talkin' to me?

- You're sure you're OK?

- Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

Cos I got scared,

wonderin' when you were comin' home.

Well, I am back and I'm fine, and everything's

gonna be just like it was in the old days.

I know what you're doin'. Two can play at

that game. I don't have to listen to you either.

I was thinkin' maybe

we should get rid of that dog.

Comin' home empty-handed! Don't tell me

there wasn't a gift shop at the loony bin.

Diane, please call down to Radiology

and get me the X-rays on Mr Galvin.

Also, see if Mrs Rivers

can switch her appointment to 3.15.

- I may need Gene for a consultation.

- Yes, Doctor.

Gene can you check your schedule

and see if you can do a 3.15 consult?

- Sure.

- Good. And Mark...

- Did you get back the tests on Mr Freeman?

- I think they're comin' in this afternoon.

Good. Keep me informed, OK?

Hey, doc, do you think

I should get my beak done?

- Shhh!

- Aii!

Tell Maintenance we need to put some

permanent screens up, set some traps.

This is a doctor's office, not a zoo.

He's back! We're gonna be rich!

This is where he lives,

and this is where he exercises.
