Memorable Quotes from Victor Raider-Wexler
1 quoteDebate Over Bear Reintroduction and Survival
Lisa
No, Your Honor, we're simply asking for an injunction so that we might have the chance to save a species.
Jack Riley
Your Honor, this is a delaying tactic-slash-publicity stunt. I have affidavits signed by a range of experts who all concur that to take a bear raised in captivity and reintroduce it into the wild is, well, dangerous and irresponsible. Simply put, a bear raised by "circus folk" wouldn't know how to feed itself or interact with real bears, let alone make it through its first winter. No. it would certainly succumb to Darwin's law of nature: survival of the fittest.

Lisa
Actually--
Maya
Yeah, but Darwin never met my dad.
Judge B. Duff
Young lady, that's inappropriate behavior. And just who is your father?
John
Sir-- Your Honor, that's me. I'm her father. Name's Dolittle.
Maya
Dr. Dolittle.
Judge B. Duff
Dr. Dolittle. Do you feel you could rehabilitate a tame bear and mate it in the wild with a female?
John
Yes, I do, Your Honor.
Judge B. Duff
In that case, I'll grant a one-month delay on the harvesting of Campbell's Grove. For one month, Dr. Dolittle. That's it.
John
Thank you, sir.
Judge B. Duff
And, Doctor, if that bear should so much as set one paw in a campsite or this town, I'll rescind this order immediately.
Lisa
Thank you, Your Honor.
Reporter #1
Doctor! Dr. Dolittle! Over here!
Reporter #2
Dr. Dolittle! Dr. Dolittle, you speak to both domestic and wild animals. Can a circus bear relate to a forest bear?
John
Well, I don't know much about him except that he's been living in captivity, so I'm sure he'll be really happy to return to the wild.
