Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief Page #2

---

I'm sorry. Uh...

he's in Antarctica saving

a pod of bowhead whales.

- Can it wait a few weeks until he comes back?

- I'm afraid not.

It's an urgent matter, and no one else

is equipped to handle the situation.

He needs someone

who can talk to animals.

Well, I wish there was something

I could do to help, but-

- I can go.

- What?

- What?

- My name is Maya Dolittle.

And I can talk to animals,

just like my dad.

- Really?

- Really.

- Jack of spades.

- Jack of spades.

- Oh, please. Four of hearts.

- Four ofhearts.

Like father, like daughter.

Hold on. I need

to make a call.

Okay. Well, just

take your time.

- Maya, I am not sure that this is a good idea.

- Mom.

- The admissions committee said I

needed to impress them, right? - Mm-hmm.

So if I can get a recommendation

from the president of the United States...

- what's more impressive than that?

- I don't know, honey.

Huh?

Yes, sir.

Yes, I understand.

Well, Miss Dolittle, looks like you're

going to the White House.

We are goin' to the White House!

We are goin' to the White House! Ha-ha!

This is unfair!

This is an outrage!

I'm sorry, Monkey,

but you can't come.

The last time I took you anywhere, we

ended up in jail for disturbing the peace.

If Olive Garden doesn't want you to

throw food, they should have a sign.

Look. I'm sorry,

but this is just too important.

My whole future is riding on this.

I'll bring you back some soap.

Later, Kong.

Once again, you underestimate

the tiny genius in the silly T-shirt.

# The TVsays I'm not

the girl that I should be #

#It drives me crazy #

#I'm not impressed

It isn't what I want to be #

#So call me lazy #

#Operator, operator #

- #Don't call me

I'll call you later #

#Operator, operator #

#I'm just fine

I'll call you later #

# Why would I wanna be

anybody else but me #

#I'm never gonna fake it #

# Why would I ever be

anybody else but me #

#I know I'm gonna make it #

# Without a doubt

I know what I'm about #

#I'm everything

I ever wanna be #

#A girl like me #

- #A girl like me #

- Wow!

#A girl like me ##

I felt the same way the first time

I walked through those doors.

Come on.

Ah, porter,

my bag is in the trunk.

Careful with the squeezy bone.

It's a family heirloom.

Ah, Miss Dolittle.

Maya, this is the president's

chief of staff, Mr. Harold Dorion.

- Nice to meet you, Mr. Dorion.

- Welcome to the White House. This is Selma Dixon.

Both she and Cole are assigned

to my office as interns.

- Pleasure.

- Thank you, gentlemen. I'll take it from here.

Cole, Selma, I need those G.D.P. Reports

on Kalampore on my desk in an hour.

- You'll have them in half an hour, sir.

- Excellent.

This way, Miss Dolittle.

You know, the president

is very anxious to meet you, Maya.

And this is the West Wing. Although

the White House was finished in 1800...

the West Wing wasn't

added until 1902.

And the Oval Office

itself wasn't built until the 1930s.

For over 200 years, some of our nation's

most important decisions...

have been made right here

in this office.

I can't believe you're making me go. It's spring

break! All my friends are going to Florida!

"All of your friends"are not

the president's daughter.

Courtney,

this is Maya Dolittle.

Hi, it's nice to meet you.

We're hoping

she grows out of it.

Right, and I'm hoping they open a Burger

King for dogs, but I'm not optimistic.

- Mr. President.

- Maya.

Thank you for coming.

I'm a huge fan of your father's.

- It's an honor, Mr. President.

- And who is this good-looking guy?

- The man's got my vote.

- This is Lucky. He is also at your service, Mr. President.

You obviously understand dogs.

I hope you can help with mine.

Please, sit down.

Harold?

Yes, sir.

Yes, everyone knows

and loves Daisy.

- Mee-yowza! - Daisy's been with

the family since I was governor.

She's been at my side

every step of my career.

She was instrumental

in the president's election campaign.

Look. There she is singing

the national anthem at a baseball game.

- She was perfectly in tune.

- That is so cute!

Some people think she's a symbol

of this administration, of its humanity.

But lately, our beloved First Dog

has become, well...

a nightmare.

She's running amok and we don't know

what to do about it.

- Ah, the woman of my dreams.

- Shh! Put a lid on it.

- I beg your pardon?

- Oh, no, not you. Him.

Sorry. It takes

a while to get used to.

So, basically what I'm hearing

is, is Daisy just needs a talking to.

- I can handle that.

- There's more to it than that, Maya.

We're having a diplomatic crisis

with the country of Kalampore.

You see, Maya, Kalampore is home to the

world's second largest tropical rain forest.

The Boyd and Dunsmore Investment Group

wants to develop the land...

and has made a very lucrative

offer to the royal family of Kalampore.

If the development deal goes through, the

rain forest will be totally destroyed...

and with it, thousands of species

that make it home.

- That's awful.

- But the president...

has convinced the head

of the royal family, Prince Tharoor...

to reject the Dunsmore offer,

and instead has proposed a treaty...

that would permanently protect

the land as an animal preserve.

The prince was all set to sign this

historic agreement last month in Kalampore...

and things went

horribly wrong.

Unfortunately, the president came down

with a terrible case of... food poisoning.

- Oh, no, he didn't.

- Oh, no, don't say it.

Oh, yes.

All over the prince.

- Jelly beans?

- No, thank you.

The deal didn't get signed.

The moment passed...

and the deal fell apart.

Oh, no.

We've invited the prince to the U.S. We're

gonna hold a state dinner in his honor.

It's a last-ditch effort

to repair the relationship...

and convince him to sign

the agreement.

And that's where you

come in, Maya. You see...

the prince's daughter

is a huge fan of Daisy.

She's practically

Daisy crazy.

And of course,

she wants to meet her... in person.

- Yikes.

- Exactly.

The prince arrives

in... eight days.

What- Eight days?

- Maya...

- I-

we need you to deliver the old Daisy

before the state dinner.

We are counting on you.

Send in Daisy, please.

- Hi, Daisy. I'm-

- Listen.

If you think you can waltz in here with your

head-shrinking, animal-talking circus act...

and turn me into some perfect,

hand-licking First Dog...

then you've got another

thing coming, sister.

I'll chew you up like

an off-white athletic sock...

then I'll poop you out

in the Rose Garden.

Wh-What did she say, Maya?

Uh, she said, "Hi. "

Ah.

Hello, Daisy.

- Daisy! Uh, Maya, please

tell her not to do that.

Daisy, do not sneeze on

the chief of staff's pants.

Oh. Okay. Well, then how

'bout this sort of thing?

Daisy.

Oh!

- Harold.

- Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Come here, Daisy-

- Nice try, Harold.

- Daisy!

- Daisy, sit!

- Daisy, nol

#I'm tired, baby

Tired of messin'with my head #

- Whoops.

- No!

#Gonna pull myself

from the ledge ##
