Dr. Dolittle 3 Page #4

---

- Hey! - Poop it!

- That's a rooster!

I'd wash your hands.

- Alright, let's grub!

- Finally something I'm good at!

Maya! Maya, over here!

It's important. Please!

It's better be good.

Well, you see, the thing is this...

I...

Oh, no, I know that face.

What did you do?

I... may or may not

have slipped up...

...and told one or two

of the animals who you were.

What?

Thanks for selling me up the river!

Hey, take it easy!

I didn't know what else to say...

...when they asked me

what I was doing here.

It's fine.

Wait! You're sure

it was just one or two, right?

Yeah, pretty sure...

And then again

it could have been...

...all of them.

I think that's her.

You are so dead when we go home!

Hey, whatever

the man's best friend thinks, huh?

Humans...

- Morning, Miss Dolittle!

- Hey!

Oh!

I don't want to ruffle any feathers,

Miss Dolittle, but I've got a problem.

I knew this was gonna happen.

Hey, Maya! Excuse me, girl...

...there's something

I need to talk to you about.

- Something really important.

- Gracie, whatever it is...

...I'm sure

you can work it out on your own.

But if you don't mind,

I rather be left alone, okay?

Hello, hello!

Okey-dokey! Lob one?

Hey, slow down there, sexy!

Around here, that egg

is considered a collector's item!

- Look who it is.

- Hey, ladies, what's cracking?

The little rooster who couldn't.

Seriously, like low egg production

is my fault.

You're not helping anything

by mocking me, you know?

Talk about

a cock-a-doodle-don't!

That's very funny!

- Hey, watch it!

- You watch it, lady!

I had a really bad day

so far, alright?

But if you wanna dance,

let's dance!

Hey! What is wrong with you?

"Oh, be a rooster!", they say.

"Show us what you're made of",

they say.

They think it's easy

being the only rooster...

...on a farm full of hens?

Well, it's not!

I'm sorry, look...

I'm just under a lot of pressure.

I just wish there was someone

I could talk to...

I'm sure everything's

going to be okay.

Hey, you just talked to me!

You mean none

of the other animals talk to you?

Well, I've been

in kind of a funk lately.

I haven't been out

of the coop in days.

Well, just give it

a little bit of time.

I'm sure everything will work out.

Hey, people fight.

People fight!

Don't just stand there!

Help us!

Give me a ten-spot

on the tough one.

- Hey!

- What? Just playing the odds.

Disgusting!

Go ahead! Pick on the skinny guy!

What has gotten into you, kids?

I was planning to sell those eggs

this afternoon!

Come on, Pops!

They're just having a little fun.

It's like that, huh?

Alright, then.

So...

...what do you women want exactly?

I mean, a guy can do so much...

- Sorry, Cogburn, but talking to you

earlier almost got me busted. - But...

Now, leave me alone

before somebody sees.

But what good is talking to animals...

...if you can't help a brother out?!

Hey, come back!

Hey, still ignoring me?

What do you think?

Sheesh!

I never knew you were such a snob!

A snob? What?

I am so not a snob!

I'm just doing my best

to try to fit in, that's all.

Plus, I really think

Bo is starting to like me.

He likes you?

Who you're pretending to be?

Can't you see that just for once

I want to be normal?

But you're not normal, Maya.

You're a Dolittle.

Yeah, not out here, I'm not.

I just hate not talking to you.

You're my best friend.

I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't

be taking any of this out on you.

I know you're just trying to help.

About time you gave the dog

his due!

And I guess it's okay

if all the animals know...

...but we have to make sure

no people find out.

- You think I'm going to tell them?

- If you could, yeah!

Wait!

Where have you been all morning?

You know,

just different things...

I love it here...

The wide open spaces,

and the straw...

Yeah, you met the collie,

haven't you?

Yeah... she is smoking!

Come on!

Oh, forget it, Bo!

You can't break him.

Besides, we need the money.

Wait,

you're gonna sell him? Why?

Pretty as he is, he ain't no use to us

if he won't let nobody ride him.

What's his name?

- He doesn't have one.

- Maybe you should name him.

I wouldn't even know where to begin.

The name's Butch.

You must be Maya.

How about Butch?

Why Butch?

My mama gave me that name.

You got a problem with that, cowboy?

I don't know. Maybe he just...

looks like a Butch to me.

Alright. Then Butch it is.

You think

you could do something for me?

I got this rock in my shoe.

It's been driving me nuts all day.

I'd love to.

Let's see.

Come on! Up, Butch!

Ah! Thanks, kid.

I guess I owe you one.

No problem!

But why won't you just

let them break you?

I'm a stallion, sweetheart...

...and stallions

don't break that easy.

You know if they can't break you,

they're going to sell you.

If they're gonna sell me anyway,

I might as well go down swinging.

What do you mean

"if they're gonna sell you anyway"?

Look around, kid.

Jud's been selling off animals

for weeks.

The place is starting to look

like a ghost town.

- That's so sad.

- Tell me about it!

Hey, Pops.

Ain't that the darndest thing?

Look at that!

The stallion

actually let her touch him.

You went off to college for a year

and you still haven't figured out...

...that there's more to a woman

than just a pretty smile?

- Still learning, Pops.

- Every day, son!

That's pretty impressive

the way you got on with Butch.

- You have a lot of pets at home?

- Me?

No! What would make you think that?

I mean, I love them and everything...

...if that's what you're asking,

but I wouldn't say I was an expert.

So what about you?

You seem to be pretty in tune

with them yourself.

Let's say I understand them a lot more

than I understand people.

I mean, especially you girls.

You never have to guess

what an animal is feeling.

You know, I think that hay

this morning gave me the runs.

Unfortunately,

I know exactly what you mean.

Well... nice talking to you.

You too.

Look what we've got here!

The amazing...

...the wonderful... Durangos!

Let's go see these little cats!

Take a good look from over there,

Durangos.

That's as close

as you're ever going to get...

...'cause you're not welcome over here.

- Like we care, Little Lord Fauntleroy!

Watch it, girl!

What?

You better watch you're mouth...

Hey! Look.

Knock it off, alright, guys?

Just knock it off.

Should probably enjoy your summer,

though, Bo.

Looks like it's going to be your last.

- What is that supposed to mean?

- Nothing.

Nothing at all, man.

- Let's just go, you all.

- That's right, tuck tail and run!

Seems to be the only thing you

and your dad are good at teaching.

Guess I'll see you later!

Come on, boy! Let's get going.

- Let's go.

- See you later, Durangos!

Let's get out of here! Yeah!

Cattle drive, sleep outside.

Haven't they ever heard of ticks?

The word is that the collie's coming.

Hey, you know me.

I love working the road.

That's the spirit gang.

See, the more we work together
