Beaver Eh, Dr. Dolittle, I presume. Welcome to my den. Would you like a fish?
Oh, no, thank you. I've eaten already.
Hey, the beaver offers you a fish, you take the fish.
Beaver Joey, shut up.
Beaver I've heard good things about you from some of the Bay Area families.
From the Bay Area families. Really? [chuckles] What are you guys, some kind of mafia?
Mafia? No. We don't know nothing about no mafia, do we, boys?
Beaver I'm just a simple fisherman who's blessed with many friends. Perhaps you will be one of them.
What do you guys want from me?
Beaver Well, I'm losing my territory.
What, the other animals moving in on you or something?
Beaver Yeah, the human kind. They're cutting down our homes, busting up families. Word is they're cutting down the whole forest.
Guys, you're talking to the wrong person. You need to contact one of those nature groups like the Sierra Club or, um--
Beaver It has to be you, Doc. You're the only one who knows how to speak human.
Yeah, we can't fight humans on our own. They got guns, knives, pullout couches. Sure, I got rabies. I could bite somebody. But I can only do so much!
You guys have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?
Beaver Sure, I do. It's man against nature. But with you on our side, I like the odds.
Me on your side? I didn't say I was gonna help you. I didn't say.
Beaver Doctor, before you say no, I would like you to see what we're talking about.
[sniffling]
It's gone. Everything, gone.
[narrating]
So we all moved to the forest and waited for Archie to arrive. While the family settled, it was time I started looking out for number one.
[chuckles]
Huh? ♪ Doo-do-do-do-doo ♪ This looks like as good a place as any. Ah, the simple pleasures of life. Holy lord! That wolf is a fox! I hope I don't have dog breath, you know, from licking my own-- Never mind. Oh, you like that, huh? Yeah, that was me. [chuckles] Plenty more where that came from.
"Grr" to you too. What is that, some kind of secret wild lady dog code for "You like me"? Yeah, I do some dancing. Here's a little move I call the back-scratcher. Pretty cool, huh? H-Hey, hot lady, wait. Where you going? Call me!
[narrating]
And so, the big day finally came, and I had a feeling the fur was gonna fly.
Okay, everybody, you all know why we're here. We're about to try to do something that's never been done before. Everyone thinks we can't pull this off, and they got their blades sharpened and their trucks ready to roll. But we're gonna prove 'em wrong, right? That's right. Now I want everybody to put their claws together. How about a big round of applause for the bear that's gonna lead the way? Let's hear it for Archie!
[animal murmuring]
Yeah! Come on!

Okay, candles, fruit, cheese, wine. Perfect.
Oh, hey, honey. I'll tell you what I'm doing. It's all about you tonight, baby. I've sent the children to the other movies, and the bear is camping in the woods. We're alone.
[clears throat]
One second.
No, you cannot see me. I am at one with the couch. I am blended perfectly, interwoven into every fiber. Oops! I can give you some pointers!
So much for the intrusions.
Hey, come on. It ain't no fun if the homeys can't see none.
You were thinking candles and wine would make up for ignoring me the last few days.
I'm trying to sense a little resistance. I took that into consideration. Here's something you need to resist.

God Beaver Hey, what's going on?
Apparently, he's truly, truly in love with her.
Hey, Doc, give her some garbage. Chicks like garbage.
How about planting a little sugar on Dr. D's lips?
D Deer
He broke her! [gasps]
Get outta here, all of you!
God Beaver The kid's got moxie.
But this is really helpful. I'm learning a lot. Truly.
Just get out of here. We'll discuss it tomorrow.
You're gonna discuss what tomorrow?
Oh. Well, I w-I was- Well, baby, why don't we just pick it up where we left off.
Why don't you sleep on the couch?
W-Wait, what'd she say, Doc?
She said she loves me much, I get to sleep on the couch.
Yes, I'm the man. I'm the man on the couch. [clears throat]
Talking time's done. It's time to be bold for Ava.
H Hawk
He's going after the hive! He's going after the hive!
Boy, this cliff's higher than I remember.
So this is your big plan? Archie, you get back here right now! Come back in!
No way, Doc. I'm gonna do this or die trying.
That bear is one bad mother.
Archie, what are you doing? Archie, you get back in here right now. Stop playing!
I don't think I'm gonna win Ava by eating a bunch of worms. I'm never gonna feel happier than Sonny. I need to show her how much she means to me.
Yeah, and if you fall, it's gonna prove that you're stupid and dead, Archie.
S Sonny
What's going on around here? Oh, circus boy's got a new trick.
Okay, I got it. I got it.
Beaver That log ain't gonna hold him. And I know logs.
[log creaking]
Okay! Ohh!
Don't move, Archie! Don't move!
[bees buzzing]
What's happening? Hold still! I'll talk to them. Work something out. Don't you move.
They're stinging me! No, no!
[Bees buzzing]
I can't see! Ooh! They're stinging! Get away from me!
No, no, no! No attack! Hey! Stop!
B1 Bee #1
Defend the hive!
B1 Bee #1
Get the little guy!
B1 Bee #1
[Bee #2 yelling] [Jack Riley gasps]
Protect the hive! Attack!
Archie! Archie! Hey, Archie! Hey! [grunting]
Archie, get back in here!
S Sonny
Jump, circus boy!
Good job, Archie! Way to go, Archie! All right!
P Porcupine
Woo! Woo! Woo!
Beaver That kid's got moxie. I love him.
Okay. Okay, what's the matter with you, huh? What'd you do something like that for, huh? Are you crazy?
S Sonny
I could have got that hive if I wanted it. Come on, Ava, before I get mad.
Sonny, we're not working out. So, take a hike.
If only I had an eyewitness. Did anybody see what happened?
God Beaver Yeah. We got one problem. He's a frigging weasel.
Oh, really. What'd he do?
God Beaver I mean he's an actual frigging weasel. Hey, weasel, the doctor's here.
L Lennie
Okay, you know what, that's Mr. Weasel.
Mr. Weasel, did you see what happened to the bear?
L Lennie
Ooh, the big scary bear. Did I see what happened-
Did you see anything or not?
L Lennie
Okay, here's the deal. Give me that shiny wristwatch of yours, and I'll tell you what you need to know.
[forest animals chattering]
You guys have given up, haven't you?
God Beaver Hey, what am I gonna do? I'm six years old. I'm not a young beaver no more. Besides, we've been living in this forest how long?
About a hundred years we've been shaking down this forest, boss.
God Beaver So we had a good run.
Look, I tried to do this by myself, but I can't. So if you guys want to save your homes, you're gonna have to help me. And whether or not you believe it, you guys have enormous untapped power.
[Drunk Monkey blows raspberry]
When people talk about the best of the best, it's always an animal expression. You got a heart like a lion. Or he's as strong as an ox. He's got eyes like an eagle. Or he can move swift like a gazelle. Or you stink like a skunk.
Sorry about that, man. I'm trying to make my point. What I'm trying to say is, we can do this! We can do it! Just don't give up without a fight!
God Beaver Let the word go out from Sicily to SeaWorld. The trucks don't move! Capisce?
FA Forest Animals
The beaver's right! Got it! [cheering]
