Lucky: [narrating] Welcome to San Francisco, the city by the bay, home to 30,000 fire hydrants, four million tennis balls... and very liberal pooper scooper laws. My name is Lucky. I'm a dog, in case you hadn't guessed, and I belong to this man. You remember Dr. Dolittle, right? The guy who can talk to animals? If you don't, let me jog your memory. He's a doctor, and he talks to animals. Well, anyways, he's busier than ever.

Woman: Doctor, you've got Mr. Carson at 10:00 for a full workup. Mr. Wennington's E.K.G. is at 12:00. Mrs. Bloom called. She's got a bad rash. I told her 11:15.

John: I gotcha.

Lucky: Buster's got a deworming at 12:30. Misty's kennel cough is back. I put her at 1:00. Afternoon-wall-to-wall neuters.

John: You've got the Rotary Club dinner tonight.

Lucky: The Kennel Club breakfast tomorrow.

John: Push Mr. Carson to 11:00. I will deworm Buster at 12:00, do the E.K.G. at 12:30. Move Misty to 1:15. And stop mixing up my charts. Last week you almost had me neutering Mr. Panitch.

Lucky: From what I hear, you'd be doing Mrs. Panitch a favor.

John: Any time, ladies. Thank you.

Lucky: [narrating] No matter how busy he got, Doc always found time to help animals.

Bandit: Hi. My name is Bandit.

Dogs: Hi, Bandit. How you doing, Bandit?

Bandit: [sniffles] And I'm a stray.

Dogs: That's okay. We're all strays.

John: I know how hard it is the first time to get up there. Take your time.

Sheep Dog: Just one paw at a time, Bandit. That's true.

John: Right. Never give up hope. Never, ever give up hope. Not just Bandit. All you dogs, listen to me. Every dog in here can find a family and be somebody's best friend. Let me hear you say that. Say, "I am somebody's best friend.

Dogs: I'm somebody's best friend!

John: One more time. Again. I am somebody's best friend!

Dogs: I am somebody's best friend!

John: That's right. That's right. There's a family out in North Beach that's trying to find a good watchdog, somebody that's housebroken and great with kids. Any of you guys got a background in security?

Hound Dog: Oh, that'd be Rusty. Rusty's a watchdog.

John: Who's Rusty?

Dog: Rusty, tell-- Oh, no. Rusty!

Rusty: This better be important.

John: No, uh, never mind, Rusty. It says, "Must not lick ass all the time.

Lucky: [narrating] Every zoo in the country had a job for the Doc. He was especially good at matters of the heart.

John: How long's it been since you guys made little baby turtles?

Male Tortoise: Oh, not that long. Maybe 20 years.

Female Tortoise: It'll be 48 years next Monday.

John: Okay, I see the problem here. I know what to do. Listen. I'm gonna give you these pills. Crush em up and put em in your food.

Male Tortoise: Oh, yeah? What do they do?

John: Oh!

Male Tortoise: Oh, yeah! You're looking fine! Coming at you, baby!

Lucky: [narrating] In fact, he became an international celebrity, traveling from Alaska to Australia.

Steve Irwin: I am here with Dr. Dolittle, who can actually talk with animals. We're here about to capture this alligator right behind us. The trick to capturing this guy is to put your arms around his neck...

Alligator: [laughs] Hey, Dolittle, see what I'm doing, I'm allowing Steve to think I don't know he's back there. Wait till he tries to grab me, turn on him and Bob's your uncle bite his arm off!

Irwin: I'm gonna have to get my arm around his neck and handle his -

John: [having heard the alligator] Steve, I think he knows we're over here.

Irwin: [shushes Dolittle; Alligator roar noise] Quiet, I don't wanna spoil the element of surprise...NOW!

John: Oh! Oh! Oh!

Irwin: [Belching sound] Crikey! Me arm!
