Scenes with Female Pigeon

5 scenes
John

It's not really something you should be ashamed of. It happens to most men occasionally. You're probably under a lot of pressure.

Female Pigeon

He's not under pressure. He's not attracted to me because I'm just a pigeon! He's a self-hating pigeon!

Oh, th-that is not true.

Female Pigeon

Ask him what he does all day. Go ahead, ask him.

John

What do--?

I sit in a tree by myself.

Female Pigeon

It's because he's too good to eat with the rest of us when the old people feed us in the park.

John

Can I say something?

Female Pigeon

And the way he stares at a robin's breast? It's enough to make you sick!

They're orange! I happen to be attracted to orange breasts, they're orange--

Female Pigeon

You're not a robin! You're not a dove or a hawk! You're a pigeon, and I'm a pigeon...

[over her]

I'm sorry, she sits on that nest all day long, and she just gets a little crazy...

Female Pigeon
[over him]

...and I've been sitting on a nest with three eggs, and they're gonna be pigeons too! [flies away]

But may I ask you something? If I turn this way, don't I look a little like a blue jay?

John
[Jacob snoring]

Psst! Wake up!

Jacob

Oh! Hey, Doc. You came back.

John

You need help. I want you to take some for tests.

Jacob

Tests? That's good, right? Tests?

John

Yeah. Come on.

Jacob

Ohh, I hate these stairs.

Baby Tiger

Take good care of him, Doc. He's our star.

John

He'll be okay.

Jacob

Oh, great. More steps.

John

Come on. Get in.

Jacob

Wait a minute. The dog gets to ride up front?

Hey, could you stop looking at me like I'm a side dish?

Jacob

Oh, don't flatter yourself.

John

Now, you two guys shut up. Quiet.

Jacob

Hey, look. Jerry!

John

Can you keep your voice down?

Jacob

He's a big fan. Hey, Jerry! How you doing, dude? Just going for some tests.

Security Guard

Hey, hey, hey!

Jacob

I'm fine! "The tiger's fine." I'm not sick.

Security Guard

Stop the car!

I told you they'd get away.

Female Pigeon

No thanks to you.

No thanks to me? Three armed guards versus a pigeon? That's a fair fight?

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.

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.

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

I gotta get help.

Policeman

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

Female Pigeon

Do something!

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

Female Pigeon

A chicken hawk!

The heart of a hawk! Aah!

Female Pigeon

Oh.

[sings]

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

Policeman
[police car sirens]

What the hell is this?

Pig

No more bacon. No more chops.

One, two, three, four. You ain't getting through this door. No justice, no peace.

Make love, not war.

Fur is murder. Free Willy.

Pigs go home. Pigs go home. Pigs go home.

Pig

Hmm?

No, no, not you. The police.

Female Pigeon

Wow, this is great. Are you okay?

The man's coming down hard, but we're holding strong.

Female Pigeon

Oh, I got such a chill.

Really?

Female Pigeon

Really.

John

I'm gonna give you a local. It's not gonna hurt. It'll feel like a little bee sting.

Jacob

Ohh.

John

A little pressure. That's about it. Okay? Here I come.

Jacob
[inhales]

Ohh.

John

Okay.

He can't do this. He still thinks he can talk to animals.

He can, Lisa. He can talk to animals. It all started when he was a kid. I didn't know what to do.

What are you saying, Dad?

I thought it was a handicap, but it's a gift, Lisa. Don't you believe it? Look, look, look. See for yourself.

John

I need you to stay alert and tell me if you feel any numbness in your paws or on down your right side.

Jacob

Have you ever done this operation before?

John

Oh, yeah, once in medical school, but it was to a cadaver. But my professor told me I did such good job that had my patient not been dead, he would've lived.

Jacob

Very comforting, Doc.

John

Okay.

Reporter

It's like Noah's ark out here. It truly is a remarkable sight. This odd collection of animals has actually prevented San Francisco's finest from entering the building. Which is apparently where the stolen tiger is being held.

He's a lunatic. He has a history of mental illness. He's frankly...

He's the most remarkable surgeon I have ever seen.

He's here to stay. He is the straw that stirs the drink.

I want exclusive rights to him.

He's dynamic, caring-- I can't imagine-- What's the matter?

Dolittle. Wonderful work, Doctor.

Bravo. Bravo, Johnny. I'm so inspired.

Welcome aboard. I feel like I've bought myself a winning franchise.

Oh, yeah.

John

You haven't bought anything. We're not for sale.

Look. We don't need these namby-pamby wacko freaks. It's you and me, straight to the top.

You want pigeon? I'll show you pigeon.

[Calloway laughing]

Aah! [spits]

Are you happy now?

Female Pigeon

I'm right behind you.

Uh.
[John chuckles, cooing]
