Dr. Dolittle: A Tinsel Town Tail AKA Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts

---

Look at that.

San Francisco in the summertime.

Wow, beautiful, isn't it?

Blue sky, sunshine.

Perfect day to cruise around the city...

...with your head hanging

out of the car window.

Perfect day to chase

that annoying postman.

Perfect day to mark

that special fire hydrant.

Perfect, that is, for everyone

that's not about to lose their best friend.

Hey, boy.

See, today is the day Maya Dolittle

starts getting ready to go off to college.

It's a dog's worst nightmare...

...but this dog is not just gonna

roll over and take it lying down.

Oh, no.

Oh, here we go.

It' s just so weird.

I keep trying to pack,

but I don't seem to be getting anywhere.

Yeah, weird.

Can you believe it, Lucky?.

Just two more weeks and I will

officially be a student at vet school.

I can't wait to start working

with animals. It's so exciting.

Yeah, exciting.

Oh, Luck, I'm sorry.

Dogs aren't allowed in the dorms.

You see, that's what makes no sense.

It's vet school. You'd think

they'd want animals there, right?.

I know.

It's okay.

-What is he saying?.

-Oh, we're just talking about college.

Well, I just came in to tell you...

...your orientation DVD from

San Francisco University has just arrived.

It did?.

Let's go watch it.

Come on.

In tonight's Hollywood Dish,

L.A. party girl Tiffany Monaco...

...has found herself in the middle

of yet another celebrity feud...

... this time with former friend

Dasha Pringle.

Monkey was watching that.

People. No respect for their ancestors.

-You ready?.

-Yeah.

Congratulations on your admittance...

...to San Francisco University's

pre-veterinary medicine program.

I would like to take this opportunity

to give you a quick overview.

Years one and two comprise

your foundational studies...

... what you would call

your sciences, your math.

I have to go through two whole years

before I can start working with animals.

-That's ridiculous.

-I guess that's just their program, honey.

Year three is your first year

of veterinary study.

Okay, here we go, here we go.

San Francisco University

has state-of-the-art software...

...detailing the anatomy

of over 2000 species.

Wait, software?.

We' ve gotta be getting

to the real animals soon, right?.

-I don't know.

-During year four...

...you'll be working

with anatomical models.

-Models?. This has to be a joke.

-Oh, you mean Iike you going away.

Years five and six

will send you back to the books.

Back to the books?.

And then you're ready

to enter the real world...

...with a 1 0-month residency program.

What?. T en more months?.

But once you 've

successfully completed that...

...congratulations, you 'll finally be

a licensed veterinarian.

See you in the fall.

I can ' t believe this.

That's Iike almost seven years from now.

In seven years, I ' II be 25.

Yeah, and I ' II be....

I can ' t even woof that high.

Man, dog years are depressing.

Twenty-five years old.

My Iife will basically be over by then.

I just wanna help animals. Do I really

have to wait seven years to do it?.

Maya, caring for animals

is a big responsibility.

There is so much to Iearn.

It's gonna take some time.

But, Mom, I can talk to animals.

I don't need to Iearn all that stuff.

They can just tell me what's wrong

and I can help them.

Monkey, is there anything wrong

that you'd Iike me to help you with?.

Well, I am slightly bothered

by the term monkey.

From now on, I would prefer

to be referred to as a primate-American.

Okay, bad example, but--

Maya, there is a Iot more

to helping animals...

...than just being able to talk to them.

If you really wanna help,

becoming a veterinarian is the best way.

But Mom,

it's just a Iong time to wait.

My Iatest masterpiece.

Actually, there is a way

that you can help animals right now.

How?.

You can help

by taking your dog for a walk.

Now, I'II bark to that.

It's just ridiculous, Lucky.

I'm different.

I shouldn't have to do

what everybody else does.

I agree. You should just skip school

altogether and stay here with me.

I'm sure there are plenty of animals you

could help right here on this very street.

-Lucky.

-Talk about a coincidence.

Come on.

Hang on.

Hey, Iittle guy. How are you, huh?.

-He's been up there a while.

-Come on, come on now. Come here.

Cat stuck in a tree.

Defect of the species, really.

Ma'am, is that your cat up there?.

Oh, yes.

Mr. Sillywillykins just won't come down.

Mr. Sillywillykins?.

Man, being stuck in a tree

is the Ieast of that dude's problems.

Oh, I just hope that fireman

is able to bring him down.

Come on. Come on, boy.

That's not a cat,

that's a mountain Iion.

I knew it.

Mr. Sillywillykins is too much for them.

He has the reflexes of a cat,

you know.

Mckible here.

Yeah, we're gonna need some help.

-It's a real claw job.

-Okay, ma'am.

Don't worry about your kitty.

He will be just fine.

-I'm gonna go see if I can do anything.

-Okay, right away.

-AII right. Thanks.

-Excuse me, sir.

-Can I help at all?.

-Yes, you can help by keeping back.

-You get assistance?

-Just some girl who thinks she can help.

Hey there, Iittle guy.

Why won't you come down?.

What's going on?.

-What?.

-It's okay, I can understand you.

I'm a Dolittle.

A Dolittle?. Oh, right.

I heard about your family.

Good people.

Oh, thanks. So, what's going on?.

I refuse to Iive with that woman

for one more second.

Why not?. What's wrong with her?.

Come over tomorrow night around

bath time and you can see for yourself.

Wait, but you're a cat.

You're not supposed to bathe a cat.

Exactly. We self-groom.

I mean, hasn't she ever wondered

what we're doing when we do this?.

If she wants to bathe anyone,

she should start by bathing herself.

Talk about old-Iady smell.

Gag me with a fur ball.

Excuse me. What's going on here?.

Oh, that nice young Iady

is helping my kitty down from that tree.

What?.

Hey. She can't be up there.

You can't be up there.

Come down now.

Look at that.

It's almost Iike

they're having a conversation.

Thanks.

Come on, come on, come on.

Okay, well, if she agrees

to never bathe you again--

And start bathing herself.

--and to start bathing herself,

will you come down?.

It's okay. That is over.

Thank you so much.

I missed you so much.

This Iittle kitty's nine Iives

are still intact...

...thanks to 1 7-year-old

Maya Dolittle...

...daughter of world-renowned

animal communicator Dr. John Dolittle.

Like her father, the younger Dolittle...

...actually talked the cat

down from the tree.

I guess you could say

the cat didn 't get her tongue.

I can't believe I made the news.

It is very exciting.

My MySpace page is going crazy.

You see,

this is what I wanna do with my Iife.

I didn't have to go through years

of school to help that cat down.

Yeah, I'm with you.

There's gotta be some way

I can start helping animals now.

Who could that be?.

Okay, so get this.

It's a reality show

about me doing a reality show.

So it's gonna be, Iike, twice as real.
