Dolittle

Finding Common Ground in Struggles

Yoshi Hey, big bird, you doin okay?

Plimpton No, nothing about me is okay. My father was right about me. I should've been an omelet.

Yoshi Pff! I know how you feel. My dad said he was going out for a pack of seals one night...and never came back. Guess we got something in common after all, Plimpton.

Plimpton What is this feeling? I'm all warm and fuzzy inside.

Yoshi That's friendship, bro.

Plimpton Huh. Not bad, bro.

Kevin I'm not crying, you're crying.

[sniffling; bawls]

Dolittle

A Wedding Revelation and Unexpected Business Proposal

Don Carpenterino The opening bid will suffice. You have my attention.

[some soldier ants carry sugar cubes]

James Don Carpenterino, I'm here on behalf of these humans. They will pay you handsomely for your family's lock-picking skills.

Don Carpenterino You come to me for this, on the day of my daughter's wedding?

James Wait a minute, which daughter? It's not... Sheila? My Sheila?! She getting MARRIED?!

Ant #1 To a scorpion named Dylan!

Ant #2 Sorry, Boy Scout. I guess Sheila's into bad boys now.

[the ants laugh]

James We were gonna spend the rest of our lifespans together.

[gasps; cries]

Don Carpenterino Move on, James. What's your humans best offer.

Dolittle 2 more now...and 2 later. Huh?

[as he hands out more sugar cubes]

Don Carpenterino Okay, you have yourself a deal. See you around, Boy Scout.

[turns to James]

James Guys, I'm no Boy Scout. Also, what's a scorpion got that I don't got, besides a massive stinger?

Ant #3 Get over her, James. You dated for 2 weeks.

[the lock opens, sending the ants flying]

Dolittle

A Call to Action Amidst Reluctance

Poly Okay, okay, enough with the pampering. You need to go and help the queen.

Dolittle There are things I no longer do: work with humans or leave the house.

Jip Or bathe.

[covers his nose]

Yoshi Oh, exercise.

Cub Express emotional vulnerability.

Poly Wake up, John! If the queen dies, the Treasury takes the deed and we lose this house.

Dolittle You're talking out of your tail feathers, Poly. The deed was for life. Last time I checked, I was very much alive.

[about to drink his tea]

Poly The queen's life, John, not yours.

[Dolittle spits his tea]

Dab-Dab Look at that. It just ].

[[The Smurfs 2|rolls off my back; she shakes the tea out of her feathers]

Dolittle I knew I shouldn't have let monkeys proofread the contract. Elliot, Elsie, you are FIRED!

[the monkeys gasp]

Poly It gets worse. We'll be thrown out of these gates right in the middle of HUNTING SEASON!

Chee-Chee WHAT?!

Dolittle No no no. Breathe, Chee-Chee.

Dab-Dab We get kicked out if the queen dies?

Chee-Chee We're gonna be hunted!

Dolittle Everybody calm down! Look at the state of him now. Hmm!

[gives Chee-Chee a paper bag and Chee-Chee breathes in it]

Poly Fear not, I have an inn at, uh, Regent's Park Zoo. Everyone pack your bags!

[Chee-Chee's paper bag explodes]

Dolittle Uh-uh!

Poly You help the queen or we are leaving.

Dolittle You're bluffing.

Poly Don't make me count.

Dolittle Don't make me count.

Poly 1...

Dolittle 3!

Poly 2...

Dolittle D'OH! Alright! I'll do it.

[frustrated; the animals cheer]

Dab-Dab Right, let's get you ready to go, honey.

Dolittle I'll go as I am.

Poly Not looking like that.

[flies by]

Dolittle Just grab my doctor's bag.

Poly Get him!

[whispers offscreen]

Jip Apologies, Doc.

[trips Dolittle]

Chee-Chee Hold still now.

[catches Dolittle in his arms]

Dolittle Take your paws off me!

[angrily]

Dolittle

Confrontation Over Past Choices and Relationships

Rassouli Hmm. All I wanted was my daughter to marry wisely, and instead I got a ring leader of a circus. I never understood what Lily saw in you. A common complaint the world over for fathers of beloved daughters. But in this instance, I think we can all agree it is particularly accurate. Come here. Come here!

[about Lily; gets up and laughs]

Dolittle I'm certain you didn't mean any of that.

[suspects a handshake]

Rassouli It was her journal. The only thing of hers my men found in the wreckage. It belongs here. All you had to do was never show your face again...and leave it at that. You failed. Now you'll PAY for taking Lily away from me. You knew what would happen if you returned. Yes.

[holds Dolittle in a chokehold; releases him; bangs at the bars]

Dolittle You should go. It's my past that's caught up with me, not yours. Yeah?

[turns to Stubbins]

Stubbins But you're my friend.

Dolittle Go. Don't look back.

[hugs Stubbins; Stubbins walks out]

Rassouli You're better off without him, kid.

[closes the cell door; they walk out]

Dolittle

Unexpected Conversation with a Squid

Müdfly Mmm. Hello there, little squid. You don't understand me, do you? That would be preposterous.

[glares at Leona]

Badgley Müdfly...

[enters the room]

Müdfly I wasn't talking to the squid!

[quickly]

Badgley I'm dispatching a frigate, the Britannia, to follow Dolittle.

Müdfly But you must not support him in his foolishness, my lord.

[referring to Dolittle; Leona crosses her tentacles]

Badgley England has enemies everywhere looking for the slightest sign of weakness. Entrusting beloved Britain to a child queen, that is lunacy. So while I remain here ensuring no-one prevents me from taking the throne, you will be on the Britannia making certain Dolittle never returns.

[he and Müdfly walk away from the tank; gestures to Victoria]

Yoshi Can you swim?

Plimpton No.

Yoshi Well, what can you do?

Plimpton I can run.

Yoshi I can run. What bird stuff can you do?

Understanding and Conflict Among Diverse Characters

Stubbins They're understanding him and he's understanding them in their own languages.

[referring to Dolittle and his animal friends]

Rassouli Irony...is me wanting to kill you with every fiber of my being, but...loving my daughter more.

[places a sword on Dolittle]

Poly If the queen dies, the Treasury takes the deed and we lose this house.

Chee-Chee I am not a prisoner of fear?

[repeated]

Jip Right, guard dog mode. Stand back, everyone, while I secure the perimeter.

[drags his butt on the floor]

Dab-Dab Knew it would come in handy. Told ya!

[tosses a leek]

Kevin REVENGE!

[wakes up from anesthesia and has flashback of Stubbins]

Barry Any final diagnosis, Doc? Oh, I'm about to.

[Dolittle: Don't you want to be the best Barry you could be?]

Ginko-Who-Soars You may be able to speak my language, but that does not make you worthy of the fruit.
