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!

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!
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]
