John
[ringing tone]

Come on. Pick up the phone. Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!

Sam

Dr. Litvack.

John

Hello, Sam! How are you? Hi! It's John Dolittle.

Sam

John?

John

Hey, how you doing? Nice to talk to you. So, enjoying your summer?

Sam

Jeez, it's really late, John. It's one o'clock in the morning.

John

Is it really one o'clock in the morning? Wow! I didn't realise it was that late. I'm sorry. I'm on my way into town. I was wondering if you wanted to get together for a drink or a CAT scan or something.

Sam

A CAT scan? Can it wait until morning?

"I Love You" Dog

I love you.

John

No, I have to come right now.

[tires screech, car alarm chirps]

What's your problem?

Rat #2

Your face.

I'll hit you so hard, you'll see ten more of me.

Rat #2

It already smells like ten more of you so just bring it on, cheese-eater. Come on. Bring it on. I'll tear you to pieces. I'll claw you.

Man, you are tempting fate now, buddy.

Rat #2

Right here, fat boy. Put it right here. I'll murderise you.

Stick 'em up, stick 'em up, you little rat.

Rat #2

Hey, come here, you gerbil. Ow!

Hey, what are you looking at?

John

Me?

Yeah, you. Who else, buddy?

John

I'm looking at a couple of greasy rats fighting over garbage.

Greasy?

Rat #2

Come here and say that, you four-eyed dufus biped! I'll get bubonic on your a**. Come here. Come as you are.

John

Oh, really? What if I take that light bulb there, put it between your butt cheeks and make a rodent lamp out of you?

John
[rats squeaking]

How about that, huh? How about that? Let me tell you something. I'm a human. I'm a human. Hey, i'm sorry. Sam, how are you? How are you? Thanks for coming down, Sam. Thanks for coming down.

Sam
[rats snickering]

There's no abnormalities of any kind.

John

All right, then.

Sam

Why are you hearing animal voices?

John

Exactly. Why do I think I'm hearing animal voices if everything is fine? I tell you, Sam, I don't want to wind up like one of these street guys, talking to myself with dirt under my fingernails and stinking with my hair all matted. It's not a cool look.

Sam

Have you been under any unusual stress lately?

John

Not really. I got the Calnet thing. My wife's been giving me a hard time about that, but that can't be it.

Sam

No, that's small potatoes.

John

I did hit a dog the other day.

Sam

Oh, my God. A dog?

John

Hey, Sam, make me feel worse, huh?

Sam

Well, I'm sorry, but a little doggie?

John

The dog was fine. It got up and ran off.

Sam

He was injured?

John

He felt well enough to scream out bonehead before he left.

Sam

John, the dog couldn't have spoken to you.

John

Well, Sam, with all due respect...

Sam

No, John. The dog did not speak to you.

John

Maybe you're right. I'm sorry I woke you up for this. Thanks, Sam.

Jacob

And now, on the day I end it all, I'd like to leave Margaret the bearded lady my rhinestone collar and my wet-dry shaver. I'd like to leave Jack the midget nothing. It's too late for you. You're a short... Hey, get outta there. You're in my landing space.

John

Man!

Rat #2

See if you land on your feet, road kill.

John

Why don't you bloodsucking vermin take a break, all right?

Mmm. Bloodsucking.

Jacob

Look out below.

John

Hey, Lucky, come on.

Come on what?

John

Come on. We gotta go up there.

Are you crazy? That's a tiger.

Jacob

I'm jumping now. Don't try and stop me.

John

Will you come on?

Coming right up. One order of man, side of dog.

I need a drink.

Jacob

Good-bye, cruel world. Oh, no, I just remembered. I wanted to leave the whip to the baboon. Ha. One of the few animals that enjoy that kind of thing.

John

Hi.

Jacob

Hey, who are you?

John

I'm Dolittle.

Jacob

Yeah, well, get out of here. I'm in a lot of pain and I'm gonna jump.

John

Hey, whoa, whoa. Take it easy now. Listen, I'm a doctor. Maybe I can help you.

Jacob

I don't need a doctor. I need a miracle. I'm a train wreck. I have headaches, nausea. The worst thing is this double vision. Ah, what's the use? It's not like anybody cares about tigers anyway, you know.

John

Now stop, you're being silly. Listen, there have been lots and lots and lots of lovable tigers.

Jacob

Yeah? Name one.

[short silence]

How about Tony?

John

Tony the cereal tiger?

What? I didn't hear you come up with anything.

John
[snaps his fingers and claps]

Oh! Remember that song "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky III? [singing off-key] "It's the eye of the tiger, it's the da-da-da..." That one from Rocky III when Rocky was fighting Mr. T, couldn't beat Mr. T. Then Apollo Creed played "Eye of the Tiger" for him. He went back and beat the snot out of Mr. T because of "Eye of the Tiger". Because of that song. It moved him inside. Not "Eye of the Moose", not "Eye of the Bull," "Eye of the Tiger".

Jacob

That's it. I'm jumping.

John

No, no, no, don't jump--!

Rat #2
[from the ground]

Just jump, ya big p****!

Come on, ya little scaredy cat!

Rat #2

I'll catch ya! Not! [laughs]

John

Didn't I say take a break?! [screams]

All right, Doc! Then you jump!

Jacob
[rats laughing]

Why do you want to help me?

John

Because I'm the only one who can. I don't know, maybe it's my destiny. And maybe it's your destiny to be the one tiger that everybody remembers. Why else would I be here talking to you?

Jacob

Cause the drunk monkey can't keep his mouth shut.

John

Are you gonna let me help?

Jacob

What if you can't?

John

If I can't help, then you can eat me and Lucky.

Yeah. Or just him.

Jacob

Really? Will you take me back to the circus?

John

I will take you back to the circus.

Jacob

All right. But don't think I wasn't gonna jump, because I was. Uhh! Sure hope you're a better doctor than you are a singer.

Good job, Doc. Although, you got to admit seeing a tiger jump five stories would've been really, really cool.

Jacob

I heard that.

Rat #2

Oh, Doc! Doc! Help me! You gotta help me. He's dead. He's laying there dead. You gotta help me.

Uhh!

John

He's not dead.

Rat #2

Oh, no, no, don't go, buddy, old pal, friend of mine. You got to help him.

John

Oh, really? Why is that?

Rat #2

Why, Cause... cause... cause you're the man. You're the man!

John

Oh, I'm the man now. I thought I was the guy the other day that you wanted to get bubonic on.

I'm going towards the light now.

Rat #2

I was kidding. You and I were riffing, Doctor. Serious? Come on!

John

Ha, Ha, ha.

Good-bye, world. I smell flowers.

Rat #2

I'm begging you. Don't let him die. Don't let my buddy go.

I'm sinking fast.

John.

John

Hey, Mark, Hi.

Where the hell have you been?

John

What?

Calloway. The meeting.

John

I had an emergency. Excuse me. Sorry.

Oh, excuse you.

Rat #2

Hang in there, brother.

John

Does it hurt when I do this?

It ain't no day at the dump.

Rat #2

If he dies... [sniffles] I don't know what I'll do.

He'll drag me outside and eat me.

Rat #2

Only out of respect.

John
[rats squeaking]

Guys, you want to be quiet? I can't hear while you're talking.

Rat #2

Sorry, Doc.

John.

Rat #2

Uh-oh.

John

He said he was suffering from severe abdominal cramps.

He said?

John

You know I wouldn't be working on this rat unless it was an emergency. Come take a look for yourself.

Aah!

Rat #2

What happened, Doc?

John

I think he's gone into arrest.

Rat #2

What?

John

I don't feel a pulse.

Rat #2

Oh, my God! He's a goner! He's a goner!

John

He's isn't breathing.

Rat #2

He's not breathing.

Johnny.

John

Hey, Mark, maybe we should shock him, huh?

I don't know.

John

The paddles will be too big. Come on. We have to give him C.P.R. You know how to do C.P.R?

Rat #2

C.P.R? I can't even spell it.

John

Okay.

Rat #2

Oh, I can't even look. Doc! Doc, no!

Johnny! No, Johnny! Oh!

Rat #2

Ohh, for God's sakes. You didn't even wine him or dine him, Doc. No, Doc, Doc. I think my friend would rather die. He rather die.

No!

Rat #2

No tongue, Doc. Eee!

John

Pfft pfft! Come on, come on.

Rat #2

Oh, Doc, do something.

John

I got no pulse.

John!

John

Lisa, not now! I'm trying to save somebody here!

Honey.

John

Hey! Lisa, please!

[passes gas]

I'm hungry. [passes gas]

John

It's a false alarm.

Rat #2

A false alarm!

John

There's nothing wrong with him. He just has gas.

Rat #2

Whoa, you're telling me!

John

He just had gas.

Rat #2

Ha, ha. You're back. He's got gas. I don't care if you stink. I love you, pal.

Thanks a lot, little buddy. I felt your presence.

John

Lisa, stop looking at me like that.

Jacob

This is where you work?

John

Come on.

Jacob

Oh!

Don't throw that away. That's the marrow. It's the best part of the bone.

Rat #2

Look who's here.

Well, if it isn't Siegfried and Roy.

John

Keep it quiet. Lucky, keep an eye out. You rats help him.

Hey, we don't work for you.

John

Give me a break. I saved your life.

That's yesterday's news. Take a hike.

[rats laughing]

You want gratitude? Get a hamster.

Rat #2

"Get a hamster." You kill me! Get a hamster!

I gotta get help.

Policeman

Yeah, I got a plate I.D. on the catnapper.

Do something!

The heart of a hawk. The heart of a hawk. The heart of a hawk.

A chicken hawk!

The heart of a hawk! Aah!

[sings]

I Feel good! Na, na, na, na. Like I knew that I would! That feels good. Ohh!

[last lines]

Hey, Doc, wait up. So, you're going to treat both humans and animals? I love it.

John

Yeah, well, it's no big thing. We're all basically the same, you know?

My thoughts exactly. Okay, first, I want to move my bowl up on the dining-room table. Second, no more dog food. That stuff's just gross. I want my own room, with a TV. Basic cable will be fine.

I hate stories with happy endings.

Owl

Yoo-hoo.

What you say?

Rat #2

I didn't say nothing.

Then, who?

Rat #2

Aah! Run! Run for your lives! Oh, my God!

Let's go, buddy!

Rat #2

I don't want to die! I'm too young to die!

Hang a left. No, hang a right. Look out for the traffic!

Rat #2

Oh, legs, do your thing. Out of my way.

This circle of life really stinks!
[Rat #2 screams]
