Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief Page #3

---

Whoopsl

See ya.

Wouldn't wanna be ya.

What a ride.

- Harold.

- Sir?

Have everybody pack up-

the staff, the interns,

the dog, Courtney.

We're going

to the ranch todayl

The ranch?

The Sterling Ranch.

The president's... retreat.

I call shotgun!

Maya, come with me.

Anyone else who wants

the grand tour, hop in.

Go on. Go on.

I don't need you.

All right, here we go.

Hey, anyone over there got lotion?

My skin is so dry.

Hmm, maybe I can find

some aloe in here.

- Where do all the animals come from?

- Oh, different places.

Some were rescued, some were gifts

of foreign dignitaries.

We started the reserve to protect

a few endangered species.

And now we have

over 30 species.

Dozens have been bred

and released back into the wild.

Hey, hey! How's the weather

down there?

Wow! It's incredible.

Hey, guys, look-

people.

This land has been in my family

for over a century.

About 15 years ago,

I fulfilled a dream of a lifetime:

Created this nature preserve

and family retreat.

I'm not really

an animal person.

Allergies.

Hmph.

Many of the world's

greatest leaders have stayed here.

And a lot ofhistory

made in this place.

It's my hope that next week...

history will be made again.

Ahh. Free at last.

Now where can a monkey

freshen up around here?

And this brings us back

to the compound.

Everybody, heads upl

Incomingl

What's that?

Oh, that used to be

Courtney's play yard.

Now we use it for some animals who live

over there in a specially designed habitat.

- Go take a look.

- Okay.

Hold up a second,

blokes. Whoa. Look at the sheila.

- Hola, chica.

- Wow, hey, guys.

Hi, darling. How ya doin'?

Hello, beautiful

lady person.

Oh, no. This is bad.

I am sensing very bad.

Don't mind him. He's a few

sandwiches short of a picnic.

Look out belowl

Lucky, this is a wallaby.

A rock wallaby to be exact.

As in rock and roll! Bonzer good times!

Whoo-hoo! Oi, mates. Let's party!

Where's the Pop Tarts? Come on!

Let's go!

Okay, that wallaby

needs to chill.

Tell me about it. Reminds me of this guy

I used to date, Javier.

Always about how his fur looked.

I'm Rosie, by the way.

You need the 411

on anyone or anything?

These ears can hear a pin drop

from a thousand yards.

She calls it 411.

I call it gossip.

And gossip is bad-

very, very bad.

Oh, put an ant in it,

bug breath.

Let's party!

- It was great. Yeah.

- You liked it.

Scintillating.

Wow. I love what you've done

with the place.

- What happened?

- Daisy.

- But we've only been here a few minutes.

- She works fast.

Welcome to Sterling Ranch.

Hope you have a pleasant stay.

Come on, Daisy.

Good girl. Here we go.

Mr. President?

Maya, I have to go

to a meeting.

The porters will show you

to your room.

I'm afraid you have

your work cut out for you.

Smile therapy?

Oh, forget it!

That doesn't work anyway!

Not on the bookcase.

Well, I'm unpacked.

What am I gonna do? Daisy's not a dog.

She's Hannibal Lecter with fur!

I may be able to talk to animals,

but I cannot work miracles.

Maya, one thing I know about you is that

you underestimate yourself...

and sometimes you don't

apply yourself completely.

Have you been reading

my report card again?

Read it? I forged

your dad's signature, remember?

If I want a recommendation

from the president...

I'm gonna have to whip crazy Daisy

into shape in less than a week.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I think I've bitten off

more than I can chew.

Been there. Never forget that time

I caught the Volkswagen.

I wish I could reach Dad.

He would know what to do.

Why don't you just figure out what he would

do in the same situation, and try that?

Hey, that's not such

a bad idea.

We're not man's best friend for nothin'.

Hey. Hey, can you fix my hair?

I don't have thumbs.

First of all, Daisy, I would like to

thank you for agreeing to meet with me.

That was very civilized

and mature of you.

Well, I got to thinking

about my recent behavior...

and decided it was probably time

to get some help.

Oh, okay.

So, um, tell me...

when did you first notice

these feelings of hostility surfacing?

Gosh. I think, maybe, it all began

when the president...

started bringing home

all these other animals.

I see. I see.

I think I might be,

well, jealous?

Yes, jealous.

I see. I see.

In fact, I just have so much

to get off my chest...

maybe it would be a good idea

if we all met, you know, like-

- Group therapy?

- Yes! Group therapy!

I'll meet you at the habitat

in 10 minutes.

Maybe this won't be

as hard as I thought.

- Hey, Daisy's back. How ya been, darlin'?

- What's the word, sister?

Hey, you guys. I got a problem

that I need you to help me get rid of.

- Whatever you need, Daisy, girl.

- Your wish is my command, my Daisy.

- Hello?

- Holy cow! You scared me to death.

- Uh, sorry.

- Close the door. Close the door!

Would you please?

Would you close the door?

Please close itl

Uh, would you like to join us

for group therapy?

Oh, I would love to,

but what if I see my shadow?

What if I don't? It could affect the

climate of the entire planet if I do.

- Ah, the pressure is killing me!

- An agoraphobic groundhog?

Pretty twisted, I know.

Okay. Well, I guess

I'll just see you later.

Maybe.

Go to your safe place. Go to your

safe place. Go to your safe place.

Everyone, this is Maya.

And she can talk to animals.

Hello, Maya.

Hi.

Wait a second. Have we met before?

No, no, never. I am, uh, Aldo.

Aldo, the Italian monkey.

And I am from...

Napoli!

Okay, Aldo.

So, as many of you already know,

this is Daisy...

and she's been having some issues

she would like to discuss with you guys.

Daisy?

Okay. Well, Daisy's

having a quiet moment.

Is there anybody else

who'd like to say something?

- Hmm.

- Mmm.

Conflicts? Issues? Anything?

Come on, you guys. There's gotta be

something you wanna talk about.

Fine. I remember once back in New Delhi

at the zoo- Oh, this was very, very bad.

If I have to hear this story one more

time, I'm gonna throw myself on a trap.

- You are rude. Very, very rude!

- I'm rude?

People. I mean, folks.

I mean, animals!

Everybody, just chill out!

- Nyah.

- All right, that's just gross.

Now let's all listen and respect

what each other has to say.

Actually, there is something

I'd like to say.

Bombs away!

Bomb bay doors open!

Aha! Bull's-eye!

Nice shot.

Man your battle stationsl

To the barricades!

Pass the ammunition.

Anteater! Run for your lives!

Fire at will!

Gotcha!

Mon dieul

I mean, mamma mial

You better stop-

Take-a this!

Stop it! Oh-

I demand you stop this behavior!

Direct hit!

One egg-a, scrambled!

So long, girliel

Thanks for stoppin'byl

All right,

let's get back to work.

I guess she's

the comic relief.

Hi. Can I have some

roast beef, please?

How 'bout you accidentally drop a T-bone

on the ground for your old pal here?

Forget about it. You know it gives you gas.

Uh- Oh, no, not you.

The dog.
