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.

I'm just, you know, assuming the position.

Hey, you marked my tree.

Oh, no, I would never do that.|I would never mark your tree.

I don't even know what those words mean. I|drank a lot of water. It goes right through me.

- Come on, it smells like lemonade.|- Oh, yeah. Oh, I see your point.

Yours is very, very strong. It's like ammonia.

I'm actually getting dizzy,|to tell you the truth.

Come on, let's beat it. We're leaving.

You two are going? Well, have fun.|You make a very handsome couple.

God, I hate myself.

- Wow.|- Yeah.

- Bears have died trying to reach that hive.|- Well, if you want it, you got it.

- Don't even think about it. That's not funny.|- No, I'm gonna get it for you.

- Archie, I'm serious. It's too dangerous.|- OK.

- Promise me.|- OK.

- I like you, Ava.|- I like you too, Archie.

- Oh, what are you girls doin' over here?|- Sonny, don't.

- Beat it, circus boy.|- Sonny.

- Oh, you keep your yap shut.|- Your charm is matched only by your odour.

- And what does that mean?|- Just that you're a malodorous ignoramus.

What is he sayin'? I'm confused.|I don't like bein' confused.

- Yeah, he really doesn't.|- You'd think he'd get used to it, huh?

- Let's go, Ava. Tryin' to confuse me.|- Ava, don't go.

You can do better than me, but|don't do worse. I thought you liked me.

Of course I do, but you'll always be|a city bear, and I need more than that.

City bear. Great.

- Shall we put all our cards on the table?|- Of course.

This bear you brought up here has as much|likelihood of making little babies as Riley.

Ain't gonna happen.

On the other hand, thanks to you, I'm not|exactly drowning in favourable publicity.

So here's my offer.

I'll set aside ten acres, turn it into a sanctuary.|You can bring all your animal buddies there.

Plus, you'll be saving face. You won't have|to admit you failed. You don't look like a fool.

- Ten acres is ridiculous.|- That's the offer!

The deadline is Wednesday at 12 noon.

At 12.01 we'll be sending in every logger,|every piece of logging equipment we've got.

By Friday there won't be a tree standing.

- I need to run this by my wife.|- Excellent idea. There's a payphone out back.

Excuse me.

Calling the wife. Always a sign of weakness.

Hey, Johnny.

- What are you doing here?|- Doc, I know what to do. I got my big finish.

- Look, come in here, quick.|- All right.

Hey, I don't think I'm allowed in here.

OK, listen. I gotta tell you, this thing is over.|I'm sorry I dragged you into this.

I might have to get you an audition in Vegas|cos these guys offered me a deal.

No, no, the best you can do is not give|up on me, Doc. Come on, you told me!

- "Listen to your inner bear. " Remember?|- I don't know, Archie.

Look, I know how I can win Ava!

OK. I know I'm nuts or something,|but I'll give you one more chance.

- Yes! Yes!|- OK, let me get over there.

- Oh-oh. Oh-oh.|- "Oh-oh" what? What's the problem?

- Ice cream is acting up.|- What ice cream?

I got depressed after Sonny and Ava|and I went on a bender.

By the second gallon I realised I love Ava and|this ice cream called "Cherry Garcia".

- Hey, don't you dare throw up on me.|- Oh! That's not where it's gonna come out.

- Wait! You gotta do that, sit on the toilet.|- I can't hold it.

- You gotta lift the lid up first.|- This is not gonna be big enough. Oh, boy!

You'll be fine. Just sit there. I'm gonna|keep guard outside. Just take care.

Hey. Be with you in a second.|I'm taking care of business.

- Who you talking to in there?|- I'm talking to myself.

- Sometimes you gotta coax it down.|- Right.

Give my sphincter a little pep talk.|Excuse me. Come on down, you.

- Oh, my God!|- I gotta stay. Let me get the window open.

- Don't do nothing till I get it open.|- Oh-oh.

The window only opens a bit.|That's not enough.

Oh, hey! You're doin' it, aren't you?

- There she goes! Whoo!|- It's worse than I imagined it would be.

- Whoo!|- Archie! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh, Archie!

You just had ice cream?|That's notjust ice cream.

- Oh, Archie!|- It ain't that bad. Come on. Whoo!

Gentlemen, no deal.

Thanks for your time.

Hm?

Was that me?

- Can you hear me, Pepito?|- Stop staring. You're giving me a complex.

- I'm trying to blend.|- If you can hear me, match the table colour.

- What are you doing?|- I think he understands me.

If he understood me, I'd tell him|how sick I am of these animals.

That really hurt.

If you understood me, I'd tell you to cure your|dandruff flakes. It's like Christmas in July.

- I hate this place.|- So young, so angry. Damn that rap music.

- Hey.|- Hey.

So, how'd it go?

- Well, I told Potter no deal.|- I thought it wasn't working with Archie.

Archie's got an idea. He thinks he can win|Ava over, so I'm gonna see this through.

So that means we're stuck here? Oh.

- Charisse!|- Hey, Charisse. Hey!

Charisse! It's a long walk back to the city.

- We're not getting on, are we?|- I wanna go home.

I wanna go home too, but there's|something else that's bothering you.

I'm not saying it's your fault. Maybe it's mine,|maybe it's a phase you're going through.

Your mother thinks you got|a problem you're not telling us.

- No.|- You sure? There's nothin' bothering you?

- I'm sure.|- Charisse.

- I'm fine, Dad.|- OK. I'm not saying you do have a problem...

...but if you do, we work things out, right?|- Right.

- You cool?|- Cool.

All right.

- Your mother was a little worried and I was...|- Tell her I'm fine.

OK. OK.

- Dad?|- Yes! Yes!

I knew it. I knew something was|bothering you. Come on, talk to me. Really.

Daddy to daughter. Break it down.|You can cry, we can cry together if that's...

- What is it?|- Nothing.

Stop.

Must be the mountains|messing me up cos... I'm fine.

- You sure you're all right?|- Mm-hm.

She's all right.

You have your little space.|I'll be in the house.

- All right.|- OK.

Talking time's done.|It's time to be bold for Ava.

He's goin' after the hive!|He's goin' after the hive!

- Who?|- Archie.

- Who?|- Archie, you idiot. Jeez.

Boy, this cliff's a lot higher than I remember.

Bye-bye, species.

This is your big plan, huh?|Archie, you get back here! Come back in!

- No way, Doc. I'm gonna do this or die tryin'.|- That bear is one bad mother.

- Archie, what are you doing?|- Archie, get back right now. Stop playing!

I don't think I'm gonna win Ava|by eating a bunch of worms.

I'll never be more woodsy than Sonny. I have|to show her how much she means to me.

And if you fall, it'll prove|you're stupid and dead, Archie!

What's goin' on around here?|Oh, the circus boy's got a new trick.

- Quiet, Sonny.|- OK, I got it, I got it.

That log ain't gonna hold him.|And I know logs.

- OK. Whoa!|- Don't move, Archie! Don't move!

- Careful.|- I'll buy you the honey.

- Hey, whoa, whoa!|- Break. Break.

- This was not a good idea.|- Archie, get down.

I'm fine.

Bees! Damn.

- Hold still. I'll try to talk to 'em.|- They're stinging!

Don't sting. Guys, uh... zzzz!|Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz.

I can't see! They're stinging. Get away.
