Or maybe it's the marshmallows.

It's the marshmallows|cos you ate a whole bag of 'em.

Doc, tomorrow you're|gonna see a brand-new bear.

Archie, I think I'm gonna call it a night.

Don't go. It's a little scary out here for me.|Just... can you stay here till I fall asleep?

I'll wait till you fall asleep, then I'm leaving.

- Hey, Doc?|- Yes.

Can you leave that light on?

OK. Light stays on.

I'll keep these here, OK?

- Night, Archie.|- Night, Doc.

If you want a marshmallow,|you just gotta ask me, OK?

Look out, Ava! There's a new Archie in town!

Oh, yeah, that feels good!

Feel it comin'!

Feel the burn!

Feel the wind!

Feel the muscle cramp.

Ow. Agh!

- Ow.|- Come on, Archie. Don't quit. Let's go.

I think I pulled my butt muscle.|Ouch, it stings. My butt stings.

Could you rub my butt?|Could you rub it, please?

Rub my butt. Back here,|rub my butt. Please, rub my butt.

Doc fnally realised he was never gonna make|Archie fast or strong enough to impress Ava.

But maybe... maybe|he could make him sweet enough.

- Wow. How could anybody be so beautiful?|- Why not go down there and tell her that?

I don't know... Oh, my... What is that?

That's Sonny. That's her little|bear friend. She told me about him.

- But he's a Kodiak bear.|- Don't get discouraged. You'll win her over.

The key to winning a woman over|is you just figure out what she likes.

- Take my wife...|- Please!

- Don't. This is serious.|- I'm sorry.

- My wife, she likes to be surprised.|- Like jumping out the bushes, screaming?

No, nothing like that. They like romance.

Do something that says "I'm thinking about|you all the time. You're always on my mind. "

Wow, that's really nice.|You do stuff like that all the time?

I used to.

But lately I've been all caught up in this,|so I guess I'm a little outta practice.

Candles, fruit, cheese, wine. Perfect.

- What are you doing?|- Oh, hey, honey.

I'll tell you what I was doing.|It's about you tonight, baby.

Yes. I sent the children off to the movies|and the bear is camping in the woods.

- We're all alone.|- Oh, yes. All alone.

- One second.|- No, you cannot see me.

I am at one with the couch. I am blended|perfectly, interwoven into every fibre. I...

- Oops. I can give you pointers.|- Found him. No more intrusions.

Come on, it ain't no fun|if the homies can't see nothin'.

Where were we?

You were thinking a few candles and|some wine would make up for ignoring me.

I'm sensing resistance.|I took that into consideration.

I know something you can't resist.

- Is this our wedding song?|- That's not fair.

The first thing you danced to as Mrs Dolittle.

- The show is about to start.|- What show?

It is! It truly is.

# Truly

# I'm truly in love with Mrs Dolittle

# Truly in love with you, girl

Oh, he is so good.

Let me tell you. He scratched my belly|the other day. My leg went crazy.

- Hey, what's goin' on?|- Apparently, he's truly, truly in love with her.

Hey, Doc, give her some garbage.|Chicks like garbage.

How about planting|a little sugar on Dr D's lips, huh?

- I think I can do that.|- Oh, really?

- Mm-hm.|- Go, Doctor! Go, Doctor! Oh!

- Ow!|- He broke her.

Get outta here! All of you!

- This ain't no peepshow!|- But this is helpful. I'm learnin' a lot.

- Truly.|- Get out. We'll discuss it tomorrow.

- Oh-oh. Busted.|- You're gonna discuss what tomorrow?

Well, I was... I was...

Well, baby, why don't we just|pick it up where we left off?

- Baby.|- Hm?

Why don't you sleep on the couch?

Wait, what did she say, Doc?

She said she loves me so much|I get to sleep on the couch.

You're the man.

Yes, I'm the man.

I'm the man on the couch.

Psst! Hey, Doc. Homeo's on the move.|His hormones are raging.

There he goes.

Hold it.

I was only goin' to the bathroom.

You can hold it. I know that trick.

- Hey, hey, baby.|- Hi. What's wrong with your voice?

You're lookin' mighty fine.

So why don't you plant some of that sugar|over here on my... on Archie the...

# Truly

Oh, no.

Is that our song?

Whoa! Argh!

Ow! Hard ground! Back.

You should maybe learn|how to climb trees, truly!

That's a bruise.

- Hey, come on out of there, Archie.|- Never.

- I'm sure it wasn't that bad.|- It was the most humiliating thing I've done!

And I once rode a unicycle|in a tutu. A tutu! God!

- We can fix this. We just have to work harder.|- No, I'm just gonna stay here and hibernate.

- Stay. We'll make our own bear suit.|- No, Archie's fine.

Good, cos we were wondering if every animal|in the forest could stay with you next week.

All right, Archie, I'm not playin' any more.|Come out now, you big coward!

Uh, excuse me,|who are you calling a coward?

You. I'm calling you a coward.|You're a big coward for quitting!

- It's hard.|- You know what hard is?

My wife and daughter are mad at me...

...and I'm spending my vacation with|a pizza boy who says "Yo, Dr D, wassup?"

Now I'm listening to a big, furry baby crying,|who wants to quit cos it's too hard.

- Ava laughed at me.|- Oh, boohoo. "Ava laughed at me. "

I love her and I need her|and she laughed at me!

You don't deserve Ava. Why should|Ava have to be with a coward like you?

Hey, don't poke the bear, buddy.

I didn't poke a bear. If I did, it'd be maulin'|me. I don't know what I poked, but not a bear!

- Hey, I'm warnin' you.|- And I'm pokin' you.

- Stop it.|- Poke, poke, poke!

All right, that's it!

Argh! Umph!

Archie, it hurt.

Hey, that felt good. Bear-like.

Archie, you're beyond my help.|Take your ass back to the circus.

A bear?

I'm a bear!

I'm the alpha bear!

Grr! Grr!

Bears say "Grr", right?

- What happened to you?|- Archie!

I... you know...

Potter called. He wants to make a deal.

Just listen to what he has to say.

- It's for you, madame.|- Thanks.

- So, does Sonny bring you fish?|- No, not a fish. Usually about a hundred.

A hundred? Wait. No.|He can't carry that many.

OK, but does Sonny tell you that you have|the most beautiful eyes he's ever seen?

Does he promise to fill your life|with love, poetry, laughs?

No.

No. Mostly he just asks me|when I think I'll be in heat.

- Prince Charming, huh?|- Yeah.

So when is that?

- Do you wanna go for a walk?|- With you or alone?

- With me.|- OK!

This isn't a walk. We're running.|Why do we always have to run?

# I got you now|and I just wanna show you how to play

# Goose bumps on your body guide the way

# I wanna go all night|Ain't no stoppin' till the breakin' of the dawn

# I wanna go inside every corner|Girl, you really turn me on

# I wanna go knock knock|Our bodies to the beat

# And when the morning comes|we'll let the sun shine...

Yup, there was love in the air.

Be the man. Be the man.

Be... the... man.

Hey, now you listen to me.|Yeah, that's right. You're in my house now.

Yeah, my house.

Also my house. All these are my houses.

Hey, you're a lucky girl, you know that?|You're the lucky one, not me. You. Yeah.

You wanna go out with me tonight?

- Hey, what do you think you're doing?|- Who, me? No, I'm not doing anything.
