Dr. Dolittle 3 Page #6

---

I know. I wish

there was something we could do.

Let's just get some grub, guys.

I can't believe I'm saying this...

...but I'm not even hungry.

Excuse me, Maya.

Sorry to wake you, but your presence

has been requested in the barn.

Whatever it is, make it quick.

I don't want

anyone to see me out here.

You're the only one who can help us,

Maya. You are our only hope.

I don't know what to tell you, guys.

I can't stop Jud

from selling the ranch.

I wish I could,

but there's nothing I can do.

Maybe the other kids would help

if you just tell them who you are.

I can't just announce to everybody...

...that the animals asked me

to save the ranch.

They'll think I'm crazy.

Don't you mean

"Bo will think you're crazy"?

No.

Yeah...

Look, you guys, I can't lose him.

You're not losing anybody.

You're a Dolittle. They'll understand.

That's the problem, Butch:

They won't understand.

Other kids never do.

- We can't do this without you.

You're our voice, Maya. - Sorry.

Dolittle?

More like "Donothing".

Maya,

you've got to tell them the truth.

Woah, Red.

It's getting to be about that time.

Even though we weren't able

to finish the summer up properly...

...I want everyone of you knows

that I believe in everyone of you.

And you all might be city folk...

...but you've got a lot of talent,

and you've got a lot of heart.

That's not too easy to find

in folks these days.

You all take care!

- We'll see you, Red.

- Yeah.

- We'll see you, Big Fella.

- Yeah. - Lay off the burgers here!

Thank you so much.

I had so much fun.

- God bless you.

- Thanks.

- I'm so sorry, Jud.

- Don't you worry, sweetie-pie.

We'll be just fine.

Drive careful, son.

Shotgun. I called it.

Man, poor Jud... Did you see the look

on his face when we drove off?

Yeah.

I just wish there was something

we could have done.

Man, this sucks! You guys are like

the coolest friends I've ever had.

"Coolest"? Or "only"?

- What?

- You know what.

It's time, Maya. Time for you

to be a Dolittle again.

I know I'm just a dog,

but if they really are your friends...

...and if Bo really cares about you...

...they'll accept you,

no matter who you are.

But only

if you accept yourself first!

We need to stop the bus.

Why?

Because I know

how we can save the ranch.

This ought to be good.

We enter the rodeo this weekend,

as a team...

...and win the 50,000 dollar prize.

Think about it! Clayton has already

proved that he can wrangle a steer...

...and Tyler has become a pro

at the rope, now.

And Brooklyn can ride circles

around anybody.

Yeah, but what about the bull ride?

Who's gonna do that?

I saw all your trophies when I got

the blankets in the hood.

You were the best bull rider

in the whole state.

Maya, it's too little too late.

Even if I did ride...

...the rodeo's this weekend.

We'd never be ready in time.

What if I told you

we also had a secret weapon...

...something that no other ranch has,

not even Silver Spurs.

What would that be?

Me.

No offense, but I didn't see you

do anything special except sing.

My real name

isn't Maya Dolores Hanes.

It's Maya Dolittle and...

...I can talk to animals.

Right, and I'm the poster boy

for Jenny Craig!

- I'm serious, Clayton.

- I knew you looked familiar.

I see your dad

on the news all the time.

Yes. And I'm sorry

I lied to you, guys...

...but I didn't want you to look at me

like I was freak or something.

The point is

all the animals came to me...

...and they really

don't wanna be sold.

They love Durango as much as we do.

And the way I see it, they can

tell us what we need to do to win.

Do you know what?

That might actually work.

What the heck? I'm in.

If it's going to help Jud out...

...I'm with you, girl.

Time to cowboy up, everybody!

So what do you think, Bo?

Look, I'm sorry I lied to you...

...but it was because I liked you.

Out of all the time we spent together,

the things we said to one another...

...you wait until now to tell me

that you can talk to animals.

Back home

I was considered a weirdo.

That's why

my mom sent me here...

...so I could make a fresh start.

It may have taken me a little longer

than it should have, but...

Wait. If you let me finish,

there's something I have to ask you.

Do you have any idea

how cool that is?

Look, I'll understand if you...

Wait! What did you say?

I said that's about the coolest thing

that I've ever heard.

I've practically spent my whole life

wishing that I could talk to animals...

...and you can!

I hate to say I told you so.

So wait! You're not mad?

Mad? No!

Sweetie, come here.

Now why would I be mad?

Other than the fact

that I have to ride...

...a 2000 pound animal

that wants to kill me...

I mean, no, I'm not.

I'm cool.

- Come on, we've got a meeting

that we've got to interrupt. - Cool.

All I need is a signature, Jud.

Here you go, Jud!

You can keep it, if you like,

as a souvenir.

Dad, wait! Don't sign anything!

Hold on, tiger. Your daddy's

just about to finish some business.

No, you hold your horses, Walter.

Sounds like my son

needs to speak to me.

What's going on?

What you all two doing here?

What brings you all over here?

Speak up!

I'm not who you think I am, Jud.

I know just who you are,

Miss Dolittle.

What?

You mean you knew it all this time?

Why didn't you say anything?

I figured you'd tell us

when you got good and ready.

Well, I'm ready now.

We all want to enter the rodeo

as a team and win the prize money.

I can get

all the animals to co-operate...

...if, of course, you don't sell them,

and you... promise to let them stay.

Who are we going to get to ride a bull

for 8 second? Tell me that?

Nope.

No, that is not going to happen.

We've been over this

a hundred times before, Bo.

The doctor said if you take one

more fall like you did last time...

...you might never walk again.

No, sir. No.

Not going to happen.

I'm not willing to take that risk.

- But I am, okay?

- Bo!

It's my life and it's my choice.

And I've made it, okay?

I'm not letting them

take the ranch from us!

Pops.

I'm gonna get on that bull...

...and I am not coming off

until that bell rings.

I see the gang's all here.

We can do this, Jud. Together.

As a team.

Just like you taught us

at the cattle drive.

What the hey! At the very least,

it'll put Walter's shorts in a bunch.

Oh, yes!

Gentlemen, it seems

there's been a change of plans.

I'll see you at the rodeo.

- Looks like I got myself a team.

- But, Jud, I mean...

I know my way out.

Move it, Brooklyn!

The only thing is gonna hurt you

is the ground!

- 29 seconds.

- Is that good?

The winning time is 13.

Wait here a second. I got an idea.

Remember you said you owed me one?

I'm taking you up on that offer!

What do you mean?

You're the biggest

and strongest horse out here.

If we have any shot

of winning the rodeo...

...we need to let Brooklyn and Tyler

ride you in their events.

Me? An untamed stallion
