Doctor Dolittle - Discussing Future Adventures and Possibilities
Dr. Dolittle:
I think I'll start planning my next voyage.
Emma Fairfax:
Where are you going this time? The moon?
Dr. Dolittle:
Very, probably, yes.
Emma Fairfax:
You're not serious?
Dr. Dolittle:
Oh, yes!
Emma Fairfax:
How?
Dr. Dolittle:
On the giant lunar moth! Magnificent creature. He flies backwards and forth every year to the moon. When it reaches one, it is attracted by the light of the other, and flies back again! Willie tells me there's one on the island. Now, my idea is to build some kind of saddle arrangement, very secure, so I don't fall off half way.
Emma Fairfax:
Can I come?

Emma Fairfax:
Saved all your books, I see.
Dr. Dolittle:
Yes, most fortunate.
Emma Fairfax:
Lost all my dresses!

Eh, yes, most unfortunate. I saw your trunk floating amongst the wreckage. However, that outfit you're wearing this morning is the nicest thing I've seen you in since you left England.
Emma Fairfax:
This is my underwear!
Dr. Dolittle:
Oh. Anyway, it suits you.

Well, the simple answer then is to treat me like a man.

I intend to.

Doctor Dolittle - Deciding on a Destination for Adventure
Emma Fairfax:
Well, where are we going?
Tommy Stubbins:
To hunt for the great pink sea snail.
Emma Fairfax:
And where do you expect to find it?
Dr. Dolittle:
I haven't the faintest idea. But, as one place is as good as another, it is high time we decided. Otherwise, when we get there, we won't know we've arrived.
Matthew Mugg:
Good thinking, Doctor.

Doctor Dolittle - Communication Breakdown in the Conversation
Emma Fairfax:
Don't keep interrupting me!
Dr. Dolittle:
I'm sorry. What did you wish to say?
Emma Fairfax:
Oh, I've forgotten!
Dr. Dolittle:
Very well. Furthermore, I would deem it a favor if, in the future, you and your bloodthirsty relatives would avoid coming here and upsetting the animals.
Emma Fairfax:
In any case, I find it hard to believe that a grown man can waste his entire life playing with animals, in the first place.
Dr. Dolittle:
And I, madame, find it equally hard to believe that a grown woman would spend her entire life doing absolutely nothing.
