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?

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

Concerns About Safety and Responsibility
Dr. Dolittle:
Anyway, we're all safe. That's the main thing. At least, we will be as soon as we find Miss Fairfax.
Matthew Mugg:
Poor Fred.
Dr. Dolittle:
I said all along a ship was no place for a woman. Heaven knows I did my best to make the voyage pleasant for her. You can't spend your life running after a woman, waiting on her hand and foot, when there's important work to be done. I think under the circumstances, I treated her very well. Probably, too well. I spoiled her, in fact. I tied her very securely to that raft. I hope she's alright, that's all.

Promise to the Polar Bears
Tommy Stubbins:
What do you want us to do? Go to the North Pole?
Dr. Dolittle:
Unfortunately, there isn't time. It isn't pleasant up there.
Tommy Stubbins:
But, the North Pole hasn't been discovered yet?
Dr. Dolittle:
Not officially. And I never say anything about it; because, I promised the polar bears I wouldn't.

What are you trying to say?
Dr. Dolittle:
What?
Emma Fairfax:
I mean, why don't you say what you mean?
Dr. Dolittle:
What do you mean, say what I mean?
Emma Fairfax: [singing]
For a month or moreI have listened and dreamedWhile the moon has glistened and a million stars have gleamed.Waiting.
Dr. Dolittle:
Waiting?
Emma Fairfax:
Waiting.

Equality on the Ship
Emma Fairfax:
I promise to ask for no special privileges.
Dr. Dolittle:
I promise to grant none. The ship has no place for woman.
Emma Fairfax:
Well, the simple answer then is to treat me like a man.
Dr. Dolittle:
I intend to.

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.

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.

Preference for Animals Over Humans
Dr. Dolittle:
I've come to the conclusion, with the possible exception of yourself, I have nothing in common with the human race.
Matthew Mugg:
You know, the trouble with you Doctor Dolittle, is you prefer animals to people.
Dr. Dolittle:
But, animals are so much more fun than people!

A Plan for Adventure and Its Challenges
Tommy Stubbins:
I was thinking, that if you sold your fish barrow and I sold my grandfather's watch, we could buy a boat and go to China!
Matthew Mugg:
Oh, you're the middle of two ends of a fine fella, Tom, and it's a beautiful proposition. But, don't you see the problem?
Tommy Stubbins:
What's that?
Matthew Mugg:
Well, do you speak Chinese?
Tommy Stubbins:
No.
Matthew Mugg:
Then if you sell your grandfather's watch and we go to China, how are you going to tell the time?
Tommy Stubbins:
I never thought of that.
Matthew Mugg:
Aw, well now, you see, you have to plan ahead! It's very important. I mean, the whole secret of my success with the fish barrow was years of planning ahead.

Fascination with Underwater Fish Languages
Dr. John Dolittle: [about learning goldfish]
These fish languages, they really only work underwater. It's fascinating! The basic system is mouth movements and bubbles signals. At the moment, I can only make big bubbles and they keep on telling me I'm shouting.

Did you know that an ant has more intelligence than a hippopotamus? And that a grasshopper, in relation to his size, has more power in his hind legs than a kangaroo. Absolutely, fascinating! There's no doubt about it, animals are much more interesting than people.
