John Dolittle. Who would have ever thought would you end up in a mental institution? Number one in our medical school class. Not that I'm jealous, John. Sometimes had to finish first.

John

And someone had to finish last, too.

Blaine

So, John. You talk to animals now, do you? Would you like to tell me about it? Or would you rather tell my friend here, Bethlehem?

John

I don't need to talk to your cat, Blain.

Blaine

Why, do you think he would talk back to you?

John

You know, he just might.

Blaine

And what would he say?

Bethlehem

I'd say you were a butthead.

John
[chuckles]

I really like this cat.

John

Now, what is all this?

Blaine

This is to prove to me and the rest of world that you can actually talk to animals. Now, the orangutan is attached to this brain wave monitor. Normally, he responds to visual stimulation, but since you have got the gift of gab, you won't need pictures to make him respond, will you? Get acquainted, John.

John

Okay, listen. I need your help. I need you to make that needle over there move cause if you don't, they'll gonna make me stay here forever. Okay? So just make the little needle jump. Come on. I know you can hear me now, so don't play. This is very serious right now.

Blaine

I guess he's just not a big talker, John.

John

Look, give me a break. Say something, please.

Blaine

Please escort Dr. Dolittle back to his room.

Orangutan

Adios. Muchas gracias por nana.

John

Wait a minute. You speak Spanish?

Orangutan

Yo, hablo, tu hablas...

John

That's why he couldn't understand him. You're slick getting a monkey from south of the border.

Blaine

Remove him. Go.

John

Turn that machine back on. Me llamo es--

Man

I said, let's go.

John

Me llamo es--

Blaine

Spanish. My God.

Man

Come on.

Orangutan

¿Tu conoces Will Smith?

John

Okay, Blain, look. I wanna go home.

Blaine

Oh, so soon? And miss the field trip to the zoo?

John

Listen. I know you're always hated me since medical school, but we are both adults now. Let's put that behind us. We both have families. I want to get back to my family. How do I do that?

Blaine

Well, it's very simple. Stop talking to animals, John. Simple.

John

All right, listen. You're right. I made a mistake. Maybe it was a case of temporary insanity, maybe I was working too hard. Whatever it's over. I don't talk to animals any more.

Blaine

I'm not convinced. We'll talk again in a month or so, okay?

John

Tell you what, Blain. You sign my release form and I won't tell our fellow doctor friends about that little pink tutu you keep in your closet with the thong back.

Blaine

Oh.

Bettelheim

Heh heh heh heh heh heh.
