A scene from Dr. Dolittle 2 2001
Archie

Now, explain this again. I'm supposed to climb into a small, dark space and sleep for six months?

John

That's what bears do. It's called hibernation.

Archie

Sounds more like depression. Wait, how do I eat?

John

Well, you don't eat. What you do is, you eat a lot during the summer. That lasts you throughout the whole winter.

Archie

Where do I go to the bathroom?

John

No going to the bathroom.

Archie

[laughing]

What? You're kidding.

John

I'm serious. What you do is, a week before you hibernate you start eating things like dirt and moss and hair and grass, and it forms a big plug in your, um-- it p-plugs up your, uh- Uh, you know.

Archie

It starts to block my own butt?
John: Yeah, it starts to block all of it up with this big, nasty, hairy plug of hair and grass. It's a big, nasty plug.

Archie

Whoa, wait. You want me to sleep for six months with a big cork in my own butt?

John

Yeah, that's the other idea of it.

Archie

Okay, good-bye! See you later!

John

Hey, Archie, come back here!

Archie

Nope, I'm gone! See you!

John

Archie!

Archie

Hey, heading south?

John

Archie, nobody's gonna pick up a hitchhiking bear.

Archie

Look, I'll split the gas and sit in the back with the kids.

John

Come on, Archie, stop it.

Archie

I'm sorry, Doc. This isn't working out for it. I almost drowned. Ava doesn't like me.

John

Look, I'm tired of your complaining. Archie. Okay? Look up in this tree. What do you see, huh?

Archie

[bird squawks]

Bird.

John

Right. A bird in his home. On the branch below him there's a squirrel in his home. And there's a little rabbit in his home. All these animals are depending on you. Hey. you can do this. Just listen to your inner bear. Okay? Just trust him. He'll tell you what to do. Just trust him, Archie. Come on.

Archie

Okay, but I gotta tell ya, my inner bear has a problem with the butt plug.

John

All right, that's it, I'm gonna show you what happens to animals that don't have a home. Come on.
