Dolittle

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.

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 hunte

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.

Plimpton: What kind of polar bear works on their tan? Yoshi: Well, what kind of bird... [gets up] Wait, are you even a bird? Plimpton: Of course I am. Yoshi: Well, can you fly? Plimpton: No. 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? Plimpton: Well, what bear stuff can you do? [Yoshi roars at him] You win this round.

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

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. 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]
