Dr. Dolittle must help a group of forest creatures to save their forest. 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. So John held a meeting for every animal in the forest to not give up without a fight no matter what kind of animal expression they have and everyone agrees to do it and save their home.

We can do it! Don't give up without a fight.

Let the word go out from Sicily to SeaWorld:|The trucks don't move. Capeesh?

- The beaver's right!|- Yeah! All right!

Yeah!

Hey, kids, I've got to ask you to move.

- No.|- No?

Listen, don't start with me.

Everybody, take your positions.

Hasta la vista, baby.

Roll 'em up!

I ain't never seen nothing like this before.

- None of them have any milk.|- What?

All of 'em are dry.

- What's wrong, Annabelle?|- Strike. Strike.

Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike!

- Here's your eggs! You want 'em scrambled?|- Strike! Strike! Strike!

OK, let's go get the Frisbee.|Come on, go get it.

Strike. Strike. Strike.

Oh, come on! Give me that leash!

Whoa! Whoa!

Hey, Archie, all the animals are working|together. You'll be out of here in no time.

It's ridiculous. Animals can't organise.

- You may wanna take a look at this, then.|- All over the world animals have organised.

They're striking in Paris, Texas.|In Paris, France.

In Brooklyn, in Mexico and in Canada.

I'm sure I'm gonna regret this,|but maybe you should talk with Dolittle.

And what? Give in to a bunch|of beasts and lower life forms?

I took on the Democrats!|I can take on a bunch of animals!

- Charge!|- Oh, no!

Agh!

- Go on!|- Watch it.

- Go on, beat it.|- Retreat!

Go on!

Organised.

We have two bogeys|bearing alpha, tango, niner.

Locked on target, squad leader.

- D'you hear something?|- Commence bombing.

- Roger that, sir.|- Well done, men. I got your wing, Iceman.

Party ain't over yet. I want the short one.

Sir?

- Don't make any sudden moves.|- Gotcha.

- Aaargh!|- Attack! Lock and unload!

Poops away. Firing number two.

Let's return to base and reload.

- Sir, you've locked the...|- What?

You've locked the door, sir!|You might wanna...

Sir!

- I think you should run.|- I'm an attorney. I'm not with him.

- Run!|- There he is again. Get the little guy.

Banzai! Banzai!

Not the face!

No, please. No, no. I'm sure|we can work something out.

I'm reaching for my phone.|I'm gonna call Dr Dolittle.

No sudden movements|or I'm gonna bite you in the cannolis.

Hello. The number for|Dr John Dolittle, please?

Not Stuart Little. Dolittle.

Dolittle.

- Oh, Mr Potter. How are you, sir?|- I could be better. I'm here with your friends.

I know you can't believe|animals are organised.

Well, you know, I don't know|what to think any more.

I will be more than happy to set up|a meeting between you and these animals...

...to work out your problems.|- What?

It's the only way you can save face and get|out of this thing without looking like an idiot.

OK, OK, look, anything. Just call 'em off.

OK, all right, listen.|Put the raccoon on the phone.

- He wants to speak to you. Make it short.|- Hello. Yeah.

No, I got it under control.|We'll call yous back.

First off, I am here only as a mediator and|the negotiations will be between Mr Potter...

...and the representatives of the|United Animals of the Forest Local 534.

Yeah, let's come to order.

- This is my new proposal.|- All right.

What's the stipulations?|What territory we lookin' at?

It's only 12 acres here. It's 12 acres.

- I got your 12 acres right here, pal!|- Hey, they like it.

I'll give you something you like. Like this.

I think that's a "No".

Or "Hell, no" maybe.

Meanwhile the strike kept growing.|Even the pros were getting in on the act.

The last runners left to load now|for the biggest spectacle of the year.

It's Derby time. Last horse is in,|gates closed. And away they go!

Hell, no, we won't go!|Hell, no, we won't go!

- Hell, no, we won't go!|- Run your own stupid race.

- You try running a mile.|- Don't think about reaching for that whip.

Ladies and gentlemen, Shamu!

This is Shamu.

Nah, I don't feel like jumpin'|through hoops today. You guys?

No, no, not me. Not today.|I just ate. Uh-uh.

Mr Potter, I hope we have a deal now.

- All right, Doc!|- Yeah. Taught him everything he knows.

Vive le bear! Vive le Archie!|Vive le docteur!

- Come on, gimme a bear hug.|- Oh, no. Absolutely not, Archie.

You're not leavin' here|until you get a bear hug.

- All right, just a little one.|- Come on!

All right, that's it. All right, Archie.

Archie! You're crushing my spine.

Archie!

Bye-bye. Drive safe now. Buckle up.

- Hey, Archie, you in there?|- What?

- Hey, Doc.|- Hey, man, I just stopped by to say so long.

- Oh, thanks for everything.|- You are quite welcome.

Archie, I'm ready.

She's in heat. Excuse me, Doc.|Gotta go save the species!

Oh. Go do your thing, Archie.

Yeah, Archie.

Archie!

Oh, Archie.

It was quite a summer.

Hey, Doc.

- Hey, Lucky, what are you doing?|- What am I doing?

Hm. Let me phrase it this way.

You too, huh?

And Charisse and the doc|were closer than ever.

Oh, come on. Cheer up, Pepito.|You'll get it eventually.

No, I won't. I will never blend in.|I have a broken blender.

You will blend in, trust me. You will blend in.

How? How will Pepito|ever blend in? Pepito sucks.

Look at me! I'm blending in!

- I'm invisible!|- That's right. You're invisible.

- Greatjob, honey.|- Did you ever doubt me?

The blendmaster is back!|I am king of the Third World!

Hey, can we do the whole house like this?|It's very feng shui.

But the best news of all|came the following spring.

Kids, come on. Hey.

Woo! Woo! Over here, kids.|Woo-woo, over here.

OK. Now, it's step, step, turn, kick, step.

Papa, I thought it was|step, kick, turn, step, step.

Come on, kids. We open in six weeks.

- I thought you retired.|- Oh! I did, honey. We're just playin'.

OK, now, from the chorus. 5, 6, 7.

# I will survive|I will survive

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

# I've got all my life to live|I've got all my love to give

# And I'll survive

# I will survive

# Hey, yeah

Hey, come on. This is|the most boring party I've been to.

You guys are so stiff, so plastic.|Come on, let's move. Let's conga.

Hey, baby, are those real?|Let's get this party started. Let's go.

Ooi, ooi, party over here, party over there.

Raise the roof. The roof is on fire.

Can you see me now?|I bet you can't. I'm invisible.

- Can you see me?|- Of course. I see both of you.

# There's a place in France|where the naked monkeys dance
