And the rain forest.

The rain forest is at sta-

But there are

other rain forests.

I can't stand-I've gotta gol

I'm goin'I Stand backl

I did it! I'm goin'! I'm goin'!

We have nothing to fear but fear itself.

This is a wonderful night,

Mr. President.

Your family is lovely.

This place, the animals- so inspiring.

Well, I hope we managed to convey

to you how sorry we were-

Back home we say, "However long the night,

the day will break. "

- Ah.

- That is in the past. We must work to the future.

Psst. Maya. Mayal

Under the table.

Hey, you left your house. Congratulations.

What are you doin' here?

We got a big problem.

This is terrible.

Are you sure about this?

You think that I would've left

my house if I wasn't sure?

Okay. Well, round up all the animals.

I think I have a plan.

Oh, by the way,

can you whistle?

Nope.

Groundhogs talk to each other

by whistling.

You're not a groundhog.

You're a prairie dog.

Prairie do- Oh, no.

Now I'm having an identity crisis.

So, tell me again

your thoughts on my rain forest.

- How might we come together on this issue?

- Oh, I'm so glad you asked me.

- Everybody understand the plan?

- Are you sure about this, Maya?

If this goes wrong,

you could get in serious trouble.

That's just a chance

I'm gonna have to take.

Okay. You guys

get the evidence from the safe.

I'll make sure

the president doesn't eat.

Good luck.

Hey, shouldn't we synchronize our watches?

- Hey, where have you been?

- Oh, um, I-I'll tell you later.

Ay, Dios mol

Ha-ha!

Got itl

Let's go! Shh!

Nothing here?

Nope.

Nothin' in here.

- Nothing here.

- Zilch-a-roonie here.

- Hey, guys. I found it!

- Ha-ha!

Incomingl

Someone's on me taill

Watch it, buster.

I am not that kind of chinchilla.

Shh. Everyone be quiet.

- Monkey, where's your tail?

- Uh-ohl

Ooh, la, la.

Ooh, la, la.

- Back to work, everyone!

- Go, Monkey, gol

Now, where was I?

Ladies and gentlemen-

First of all, I wish to say...

I appreciate all that you have done,

Mr. President...

for the global environment and for making

this such a wonderful night.

Thank you.

And I want to announce

at this time...

I will sign the agreement.

Your Highness,

thank you.

And I would like

to propose a toast.

To His Highness,

Prince Tharoor...

and to a long and fruitful collaboration

between our two countries.

And to President Sterling...

for going so far to arrange

this wonderful night.

- You are a most generous host.

- I thank you.

- To the president.

- Cheers.

And now, dinner is served.

A little more to the left.

A little more.

Poquito ms.

Keep going.

Keep going- Stop!

You're loving me for the ears

right now, aren't you?

Stop!

Uh, hi, Your Highness.

I'm sorry. Your Highness,

this is Maya Dolittle.

Ah! Yes, yes, yes.

Your father's reputation

is truly world renowned. Mmm.

Thank you.

Oh, I-I'd-

Was there something

you wanted to say, Maya?

No. I mean, yes.

Um, I would like

to just tell a joke.

It's an American tradition:

Joke before dinner.

- Maya-

- So.

Why do cows wear bells?

Because their horns don't work!

You get it? 'Cause the horns go,

"beep, beep"-

Uh-huh.

Stopl

Okay, back to the right.

The other rightl

Okay. So there were two fish

in a tank.

And one fish says

to the other fish...

"Do you know how

to drive this thing?"

'Cause they're in a tank.

You get it? 'Cause-

Yeah. I really-

I love that one.

- Maya?

- Hmm?

- Thank you.

- But I-

Maya, thank you.

Yes, sir.

Well, folks,

let's eat.

Mmm.

- You okay?

- I guess so.

- Excuse me for one moment, Mr. President.

- Mmm.

I must confer with my adviser

about our agreement.

Of course.

To the left, and... stop! That's it.

Go, Parrot, gol

- Gotcha.

- Ha-hal

Mission accomplished.

- Got it.

- Go, dog, gol Vaya con Dios.

I feel weird.

Wait a second. It wasn't the

president's food. It was Daisy's!

- Get this dog off of mel Nowl

- Your Highnessl

You have insulted Prince Tharoor

for the last time. The deal is off!

- Your Highness, please-

- I said, the deal is off!

We are leaving.

Your Highness-

Wait! Stop!

Chief Dorion is responsible

for everything.

He spiked Daisy's food tonight...

and he was the one who gave the president

bad oysters in Kalampore.

What? That's-

That's ridiculous.

This is just a sad and pathetic attempt to

cover up your own incompetence, Miss Dolittle.

- Secret Service, get her out of here.

- Harold, let's hear her out.

- Sir, really, I-

- Harold.

He doesn't want you and the prince

to sign the agreement.

He's been trying to sabotage

the entire thing.

- That's preposterous.

- It's the truth!

- The groundhog overheard you on your cell phone tonight.

- The groundhog?

Well, he's a prairie dog

who thinks he's a groundhog.

So, your alleged proof

of this outrageous story...

is the word of a prairie dog

who thinks he's a groundhog?

Secret Service, please.

Maya.

I'm sorry I disappointed you,

Mr. President.

Woof! Woof!

Beg your pardon. Dog savin'the day.

Comin' through. Make way.

Great dress, lady.

- Comin'through here.

- Come on.

Sorry about the saliva.

Hmm. Actually, it's the word

of a prairie dog...

and... these.

These documents show

that Chief Dorion is a silent partner...

in Boyd and Dunsmore

Investment Group.

And he stands to make millions

if the rain forest is developed.

Where did you get

those documents?

Harold, I would get

a very expensive lawyer.

I never did

like that man.

The only thing I hate more

than animals is teenagersl

Miss Dolittle,

I cannot thank you enough.

You have brought the people of Kalampore

and United States together.

- You are truly a hero.

- Thank you.

I wanted to change the world

before I was 30.

She's changed it

before she's even 20.

You were so brave.

I barely got out with my life,

but it was worth it.

Who has got a pen?

We have an agreement to sign.

Way to go, Mayal

Maya, you did itl

- We gotta kick this party up a notch.

- Leave it to the Monkey.

It's funky monkey time.

Everybody get downl
