Dolittle

Yoshi:
What bird stuff can you do?

Plimpton:
Well, what bear stuff can you do? [Yoshi roars at him] You win this round.

Dr. John Dolittle:
We have no choice but to embark on this perilous journey.

Dr. John Dolittle:
Somehow, we just belong together.

Dr. John Dolittle:
[to Chee-Chee] It’s okay to be scared.

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 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! [gives Chee-Chee a paper bag and Chee-Chee breathes in it] Look at the state of him now. Hmm!

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:
[frustrated] D'OH! Alright! I'll do it. [the animals cheer]

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

Dolittle:
I'll go as I am.

Poly:
[flies by] Not looking like that.

Dolittle:
Just grab my doctor's bag.

Poly:
[whispers offscreen] Get him!

Jip:
[trips Dolittle] Apologies, Doc.

Chee-Chee:
[catches Dolittle in his arms] Hold still now.

Dolittle:
[angrily] Take your paws off me!

Müdfly:
[glares at Leona] Mmm. Hello there, little squid. You don't understand me, do you? That would be preposterous.

Badgley:
[enters the room] Müdfly...

Müdfly:
[quickly] I wasn't talking to the squid!

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

Müdfly:
[referring to Dolittle] But you must not support him in his foolishness, my lord. [Leona crosses her tentacles]

Badgley:
[he and Müdfly walk away from the tank] England has enemies everywhere looking for the slightest sign of weakness. [gestures to Victoria] 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.

Don Carpenterino:
[some soldier ants carry sugar cubes] The opening bid will suffice. You have my attention.

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:
[gasps] We were gonna spend the rest of our lifespans together. [cries]

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

Dolittle:
[as he hands out more sugar cubes] 2 more now...and 2 later. Huh?

Don Carpenterino:
Okay, you have yourself a deal. [turns to James] See you around, Boy Scout.

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]

Rassouli:
Hmm. [about Lily] 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. [gets up and laughs] Come here. Come here!

Dolittle:
[suspects a handshake] I'm certain you didn't mean any of that.

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

[Barry's roar can be heard from behind a wall, and as prisoners cheer for Barry, Rassouli opens the cell door, beckoning for Stubbins]

Dolittle:
[turns to Stubbins] You should go. It's my past that's caught up with me, not yours. Yeah?

Stubbins:
But you're my friend.

Dolittle:
[hugs Stubbins] Go. Don't look back. [Stubbins walks out]

Rassouli:
[closes the cell door] You're better off without him, kid. [they walk out]

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:
[sniffling] I'm not crying, you're crying. [bawls]

Dab-Dab:
[offscreen, confused] Uh, what just happened?

James:
[flies in] Oh, broken hearts.

Poly:
What the heck are you doing here?

James:
Don't worry, guys, I got this. [cracks knuckles] We're both dragons. [flies to Ginko-Who-Soars] Hey, just wondering, y'know, dragon-to-dragon, if you wouldn't mind telling me where... [Ginko-Who-Soars sets him ablaze] OW! OW! OW! She's really mad! I'll wait for whoever survives outside. [flies out]

Stubbins:
[referring to Dolittle and his animal friends] They're understanding him and he's understanding them in their own languages.

Rassouli:
[places a sword on Dolittle] Irony...is me wanting to kill you with every fiber of my being, but...loving my daughter more.

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

Chee-Chee:
[repeated] I am not a prisoner of fear?

Jip:
Right, guard dog mode. Stand back, everyone, while I secure the perimeter. [drags his butt on the floor]

Dab-Dab:
[tosses a leek] Knew it would come in handy. Told ya!

Kevin:
[wakes up from anesthesia and has flashback of Stubbins] REVENGE!

Barry:
Any final diagnosis, Doc? [Dolittle: Don't you want to be the best Barry you could be?] Oh, I'm about to.

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