But with the aid of his mangy, madcap animal friends, Dr. Dolittle must teach Archie the ways of true romance in time to save his species and his home before their habit is gone.

Governor, I've got two|lumber mills waiting for that wood.

I understand, Joe, but it's complicated,|especially if that endangered bear survives.

- If I don't meet my quota, you'll be in danger!|- Now, now, JP. Not to worry.

That ridiculous bear|is bound to screw up at least once.

When he does,|you'll have yourself a new trophy.

And I've gotjust the place to put him.

So we all moved to the forest|and waited for Archie to arrive.

Now, while the family got settled, it was|time I started looking out for number one.

Ha-ha!

This looks like it's|as good a place as any here.

Ah, the simple pleasures of life.

Holy Lord. That wolf is a fox.

I hope I don't have dog breath|from licking my own... Never mind.

Oh, you like that? Yeah, that was me.

Plenty more where that came from,|know what I mean?

Grr to you, too.

What is that? Some kind of secret|wild-lady-dog code for "You like me"?

Yeah, I do some dancing.|Here's a move I call the backscratcher.

Pretty cool, huh?

Hey, hot lady dog, wait.|Where are you goin'? Call me.

And so the big day fnally came...

...and I had a feeling the fur was gonna fly.

You all know why we're here. We're about to|do something that's never been done before.

And everyone thinks that we can't pull this|off, and they got their trucks ready to roll.

We're gonna prove 'em wrong, right?

That's right. I want everybody|to put their claws together...

...and how about a big round of applause|for the bear who'll lead the way?

Let's hear it for Archie! Yeah!

Come on!

Are you ready to save the forest?

Well, put your paws up.|Put your paws up. Come on, now. Put...

Is this some kind ofjoke?

I wanna go serious on you for a second.|I know I've got my work cut out for me...

...but with your help, I know one thing.

Now. Go.

# I will survive|Yes, I will survive

# Oh, yes, I know how to love|I know I'll stay alive

# Yes, I will survive

# For as long as I know how to love|I know I'll stay alive

# Everybody! Dah, dah, dah...

- We're dead.|- Never more.

- This show's over.|- Let's go fool around.

- You got your work cut out for you, Doc.|- OK, I'm done. That's good. Turn it off.

You're not real.|You're Wayne Newton in a suit.

It's so dirty. Look at my paws.

Yes, it's the woods.|Its chief component is dirt.

- Wait. Doc, is that her? She's a babe.|- Yeah, that's her.

Oh, look at the way she moves.|Man, would I love to see her wet.

- I'm gonna introduce you. Wait here, OK?|- Yeah, good.

Hey, tell her I really dig her fat pouch,|but don't be crude.

- I'll try to work that in.|- OK. Good.

Wait. Hey. God.

Oh, are you coming over here?|I'm a little busy foraging.

- Hi. Hello. My name is John.|- I'm Ava.

Hi, Ava. That's a pretty name.|Nice to meet you.

- Hi.|- A quick question, Ava.

How would you like to meet|the man of your dreams?

- You're real cute, but I don't go interspecies.|- Oh, no, I'm not talking about me.

I shouldn't have said man.|I should've said bear.

What do you think of that|big hunk of bear over there?

Um, I don't think I see him.

- Oh, is he standing behind that dork?|- Oh, no, he is...

Let me explain what's going on. A logging|company's gonna tear down the whole forest.

And the only thing that can stop them is if|I can get two Pacific Western bears together.

You're a Pacific Western bear, so is he. If you|two made little Pacific Western bears, then...

- You see where I'm going?|- Yeah. Look, I don't talk to bear pimps.

Wait. At least let me call him over. Please?|Hey, Archie, come over here.

Hey, Johnny, there you are. Come on,|I thought we could go work out. Jeez.

- OK, Archie, you're on.|- What do I say to her?

- Get to know her. Tell her about yourself.|- Hi, I'm Archie.

I like moonlit walks on the beach, sharing|slop buckets with that special someone...

...and soulful sounds of the Backstreet Boys.

- You're very weird.|- Weird as in sexy?

No, just weird.

- Archie, let me take it from here. It was good.|- OK... Damn!

So, Ava... what do ya think of Archie?|Cute, huh?

- Don't make me eat you.|- Oh, stop that.

He's uncomfortable|around females at first, but...

That's not even really the point.|I need a real bear.

Someone who can hunt|and protect and provide for me.

- Oh, OK, I can understand that.|- Oh, and I'm already involved with someone.

Really? You have a boyfriend already?|A bearfriend.

- Are you in love with this bear?|- Love? My cousin married for love.

Next thing she knows he's two-timing her|with this hot grizzly in a cave up north.

- So you're not in love?|- No.

Let's make a deal. Don't make any decisions|for a month. I'll work with Archie.

In a month I'll turn that bear into a bear you|will be proud to have bear cubs with, OK?

Check it out! I've flipped for you!

Pine cone.

- Hey.|- Hey.

Mm.

- Mm, perfect night.|- Mm-hm.

Sittin' out here, breathin' this fresh air,|listenin' to the crickets chirp.

Yup.

You know what the crickets are saying?

I don't know what they're saying.|I don't speak to animals, you do.

Monkeys don't ask me for a forty ounce.|I don't say "Can I help you, little animal?"

- Whoa.|- I listen to music.

- Do you see me talking to the animals?|- Whoa. Slow it down.

I was just gonna tell you|crickets are nature's thermometers.

You can tell how cold it is|by how fast they chirp.

OK.

- It seems a little cold out here, doesn't it?|- Yeah. A little nippy.

Maybe I need to go get my vest. Yeah.

Yo. Fake Dr Dre and Snoop.

Hey, and get a tune-up, man. Get a tune-up.

- Yo, wassup, baby?|- Hey, Eric.

- Mmmm.|- Oh... Hey! Hey! You left your homey!

- Wassup, Dr D?|- I don't know. Maybe you should tell me.

Yo. I came to visit. Since y'all love me so|much, I was gonna stay a while, if it was cool.

Oh, no, no. Hell, no.|Charisse, I don't understand.

- What's not there to understand, Dad?|- Eric with bags.

- He's staying for a few nights. Mom said so.|- Oh, your mother said so.

Oh. OK, Eric, you're gonna be on the floor|in the living room in a sleeping bag...

...if you don't have a problem with that.|And, by the way, Eric, I'm watching you.

And notjust me. I got eyes|all around the woods. I talk to birds.

- Thanks, Dad.|- Yes. So watch your back.

- I hear you.|- Yeah, you feel me? OK. All right.

I'm watching... I'm watching you, Eric.|I'm watching your back!

Bears are opportunistic eaters,|fnding food wherever they can...

- Can we please see what else is on?|- No, we can't see what else is on.

You need to watch this, Archie, to learn how|to feed yourself and survive in the winter.

- What is he doing, diggin'?|- Never wondered why you have sharp claws?

Uh, no.

- Bears are excellent swimmers.|- Not this bear.

You're not gonna tell me you can't swim?

Wait, you haven't heard?|There's a new invention. It's called: The boat.

That's the last straw. We're getting up at the|crack of dawn and I'm teaching you to fish.

- How about noonish?|- Unbelievable.

So began the Bearathon, a training|mission so grisly, so un-bear-able, so hairy...
