Memorable Quotes from Anne Stedman
1 quoteBusy Day for Dr. Dolittle and Friends
Lucky
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.
[narrating]
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
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
And I'm a stray.
[sniffles]
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.

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
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
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!
[laughs]
Irwin
I'm gonna have to get my arm around his neck and handle his -
John
Steve, I think he knows we're over here.
[having heard the alligator]
Irwin
Quiet, I don't wanna spoil the element of surprise...NOW!
[shushes Dolittle; Alligator roar noise]
John
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Irwin
Crikey! Me arm!
[Belching sound]
