Dr. Dolittle 2 Page #8

- Attack!|- No, no, hey, stop! Argh!

- Defend the hive!|- Oh! Hey, Archie!

- Get the little guy.|- Ah.

- Protect the hive!|- Attack! Banzai!

Archie! Archie! Hey! Hey!

- Archie!|- Archie, get back in here!

- Jump, circus boy.|- Go suck a salmon.

Ava, I got it for you!

- Good job, Archie. Way to go, Archie.|- Yeah! You did it.

- Ooh, ooh, ooh!|- Yeah!

That kid's got moxie! I love him.

OK. OK. What's the matter with you, huh?

What did you do something|like that for? Are you crazy?

I could have got that hive if I wanted it.|Come on, Ava, 'fore I get mad.

Sonny, we're not workin' out, so take a hike.

- Honey?|- Yeah, babe. What's up?

- No, I meant would you like more honey?|- Oh, no. I'm good.

So, ready to talk about|preserving the species?

We could talk. Or you could count|to a hundred and come and get me.

OK. Counting. Great

Um, 1, 2...

1, 2, 3...

- That's impressive. He's really counting.|- Come on, focus, focus. Uh, 1...

- Maybe I should stay in the open.|- 1, 2, 10, G, H, P.

- Green, orange, fish...|- Pace yourself. Not so fast.

1, 2, 3, 10, uh, fiveteen.|OK! One hundred!

Ow!

What's happenin' now?

- Daddy.|- Hey.

Daddy's back.

What is it? What happened?

It's Archie.

OK, folks, let's move it back now.|We got a wild animal comin' through.

Wild animal comin' through. I know you've|all seen the show When Animals Attack.

Have you seen when animals|wake up and attack?

Now, there's nothing more dangerous|than a half-sedated, half-unsedated bear.

- They have big, sharp teeth and claws...|- Excuse me, I'm Dr Dolittle. What happened?

He broke down the back door,|then we found him ransacking the kitchen.

- No.|- Yeah. Sorry, Dr Dolittle. I was rootin' for ya.

All right, let's move it out.|Show's over. Let's go!

- Hey, Archie, it's me. What happened?|- Hey, I was so close, Doc.

It came out of nowhere.|Are you ready to save the forest? Yeah...

The good news is we're|setting aside ten acres of forest.

We're calling it the Dr Dolittle Wildlife|Sanctuary. We're very pleased about that.

- Speak of the devil.|- Can we speak to you?

- You think you've won, but you haven't.|- Fine, we'll level your forest and call it a tie.

Thanks very much, folks.|That's it for today. Thank you.

- Did anybody see what happened?|- Yeah.

We got one problem.|He's a friggin' weasel.

- Oh, really? What did he do?|- No, I mean he's an actual friggin' weasel.

- Hey, weasel, the doctor's here.|- OK, you know what? That's Mr Weasel.

- Did you see what happened to the bear?|- Oh, da scary bear. Did I see what happened?

- Did you see anything or not?|- You give me that wristwatch of yours...

...and I'll tell you.

- You're such a weasel.|- Oh, thank you.

- Potter's men set Archie up. I got a witness.|- An animal?

- You can't offer them to evidence.|- Got any better ideas?

I'll stall for time.|We'll get a private investigator.

Those trucks are ready.|They're gonna ship Archie off to a zoo.

John, if you go on the witness stand,|Riley is gonna tear you to shreds.

- What do I have to lose?|- Your reputation.

I don't care. I'm not giving up on those|animals, not without a fight. Excuse me.

Your Honour, we admit it was a setback, but|we need another week to rehabilitate the bear.

May I suggest the counsel would like to|admit the animal into the Betty Ford Clinic.

Or the Yogi Bear Clinic!

What if I could prove|the entire thing was a setup?

That would be a very serious allegation.

Do you intend to present evidence?

We have an eyewitness.

Your Honour, can I address|the court for a minute?

- Go ahead.|- Sir, we have an eyewitness who'll testify...

...that they heard a gunshot, then they saw a|truck backing up to where the shot was fired.

Is that witness here in the courtroom?

No, not in the courtroom with us...

...because he's...

He's a weasel.

Order!

Your Honour, I know this is unreasonable...

...but I can talk to animals and one of them|came forward with this information, sir.

Your Honour, if it pleases the court, I have|no problem allowing Dr Dolittle or counsel...

...the opportunity to question the eyewitness.

I would just ask for a brief recess|so that I have opportunity to get a camera.

- I'd like a shot of the animal being sworn in!|- That's enough!

And certainly we could provide|animal protection programmes.

That's enough. Dr Dolittle, I will|not let you make a mockery of my courtroom.

The deadline has passed.|Motion to extend denied!

That's a shame. You hate to see it!

Uh, Dr Dolittle, can you tell us|what the weasel said?

Hey! Hey, Doc, OK. Come to get me out?

- Um, sort of.|- Sort of? What do you mean "sort of"?

I couldn't prove your story, Archie, so they...

What? They... they what?

They think you're too|dangerous to be set free, so...

Yeah? What?

- They sold you to a Mexican circus.|- Ai, Chihuahua.

Archie, I am... I'm so sorry.

- For what?|- For everything.

Dragging you out here,|putting you through all this...

...giving you hope. I feel like I ruined your life.

Ruined my life? Doc, you gave me a life.

You're the one who taught me about love,|and no one can ever take that away from me.

Hey, Charisse.

- What are you doing down here?|- Mom's motion for an appeal was denied.

Well, we knew it was a long shot anyway.

- At least you'll be back in show business.|- Yeah, that's not what I want any more.

- I just want Ava.|- I know you want Ava.

Well, maybe I wasn't meant to be loved.

- Everybody is meant to be loved.|- That's right. Everybody is meant...

Charisse.

Oh, my God.

- Charisse, since when?|- A couple of weeks now.

At first it was kind of fuzzy. But, uh...

...now it's really clear.

- This is what you've been keeping from us?|- Dad, I didn't wanna become a freak.

Oh, no, you're not gonna|become a freak. Not at all.

When it happened to me I got scared, too.|You're looking at it the wrong way.

- This is a good thing.|- How?

Look at all the good|that's come out of it already.

- What good?|- Look at us like this. How about this, huh?

Hey, guys, now I know|what I've been missing - a family.

I guess that's something I'll never have.

Dad, you gotta help him.|Isn't there something that we can do?

And it's notjust him. I mean, it's all|the animals. There's so many of 'em.

Yeah, there are so many of them.

- You guys have given up, haven't you?|- Hey, what am I gonna do?

I'm six years old.|I'm not a young beaver no more.

Besides, we've been livin' here how long?

About 100 years we've been|shakin' down this forest.

So we had a good run.

I tried to do this myself, but I can't. So if you|wanna save your homes, you gotta help me.

And whether or not you believe it,|you have untapped power.

When people talk about the best,|it's always an animal expression.

You got a heart like a lion|or you're as strong as an ox.

Eyes like an eagle or|he can move swift like a gazelle.

- Or you stink like a skunk.|- What?

Sorry, man. I'm just making my point.|What I'm trying to say is we can do this.
