[ Male voice narrating I ah, look at that. San Francisco in the summertime.
Wow. Beautiful, isn't it?
Blue skies, sunshine.
Perfect day to cruise around the city with your head hanging out of the car window.
Perfect day to chase that annoying postman.
A perfect day to Mark that special fire hydrant.
Perfect, that is, for everyone that's not about to lose their best friend.
Hey, boy.
See, today is the day Maya dolittle starts getting ready to go off to college.
It's a dog's worst nightmare.
But this dog is not just gonna roll over and take it lying down.
Oh, no.
J»
Mmm.
Oh, here we go.
Mm-hmm. Jo
Hmm. It's just so weird.
I keep trying to pack, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere.
Ah, yeah. Weird!
Can you believe it, lucky?
Just two more weeks, and I will officially be a student at vet school!
Oh! I just can't wait to start working with animals. It's so exciting!
Yeah. Exciting. - Luck, I'm sorry. Dogs aren't allowed in the dorms.
You see, that's what makes no sense. It's vet school.
You know, you'd think they'd want animals there, right? I know.
- What is he saying? - Oh, we're just talking about college.
Oh. Well, I just came in to tell you...
Your orientation DVD from San Francisco university has just arrived.
It did? Uh-huh.
Let's go watch it! Come on!
In tonight's Hollywood dish, L.A. party girl Tiffany Monaco...
Has found herself in the middle of yet another celebrity feud,
this time with former friend dasha pringle-
huh? Excusez-moi? Monkey was watching that!
Mm-hmm.
Hmph! People! No respect for their ancestors.
- Ooh! Are you ready? - Yeah.
Jj
Congratulations on your admittance to San Francisco university's...
Pre-veterinary medicine program.
I would like to take this opportunity to give you a quick overview.
Years one and two comprise your foundational studies,
what you would call your sciences, your maths.
Years one and two?
I have to go through two whole years before I can start working with animals?
That's ridiculous. I guess that's just their program, honey.
Year three is your first formal year of veterinary study.
Okay, here we go. Here we go.
San Francisco university has state-of-the-art software detailing the anatomy...
Of over 2,000 species.
Wait. Software? We've gotta be getting to the real animals soon, right?
I don't know. During year four,
you'll be working with anatomical models.
Models? This has to be a joke.
Oh, you mean, like, you going away.
Years five and six will send you back to the books. - Back to the books?
And then you're ready to enter the real world...
With a 10-month residency program.
What? Ten more months?
But once you've successfully completed that, congratulations!
You'll finally be a licensed veterinarian.
See you in the fall. No!
I can't believe this. That's, like, almost seven years from now.
In seven years, I'll be... 25!
Yeah, and I'll be, uh- I can't even woof that high.
Man, dog years are depressing.
Twenty-five years old? My life will basically be over by then.
I just wanna help animals.
Do I really have to wait seven years to do it?
Maya, caring for animals is a big responsibility. There is so much to learn.
- It's gonna take some time. - But, mom, I can talk to animals.
I don't need to learn all that stuff.
They can just tell me what's wrong, and I can help them.
- Monkey. - Huh?
Is there anything wrong that you'd like me to help you with?
Well, I am slightly bothered by the term “monkey.”
From now on, I would prefer to be referred to as a primate-American.
Okay. Bad example, but-
Maya, there is a lot more to helping animals than just being able to talk to them.
If you really want to help, becoming a veterinarian is the best way to do it.
But, mom, it's just a long time to wait.
Et voila! My latest masterpiece.
Actually, there is a way that you can help animals right now.
How? You can help by taking your dog for a walk.
Now, I'll bark to that!
It's just ridiculous, lucky. I mean, I'm different.
I shouldn't have to do what everybody else does. I agree.
You should just skip school altogether and stay here with me.
I'm sure there are plenty of animals you could help right here on this very street.
Whoo, talk about a coincidence. What? Come on.
Hang on.
Hey, little guy.
How are you, huh?
- I think it's been up there a while. - Come on now. Come here.
Ah, cat stuck in a tree. Defect of the species, really.
Ma'am, is that your cat up there? Oh, yes!
Mr. sillywillykins just won't come down.
“Mr. sillywillykins”?
Man, being stuck in a tree is the least of that dude's problems.
Oh, I just hope that fireman is able to bring him down.
Come on. Come on, boy. [ Howling, hissing I
come on now. Come here.
Uh-oh.
That's not a cat. That's a mountain lion!
I knew it! Mr. sillywillykins is too much for them.
He has the reflexes of a cat, you know.
Mckible here. Yeah, we're gonna need some help.
It's a real claw job, I'm telling you. Okay, ma'am.
Just don't worry about your kitty. He will be just fine.
- I'm gonna go see if I can do anything. - Okay, right away.
Okay. All right. Thanks. Uh, excuse me, sir. Can I help at all?
- You can help by keeping back. - You get assistance?
Nah, just some girl who thinks she can help or something.
Hey there, little guy.
Um, why won't you come down? What's going on?
Huh? What?
It's okay. I can understand you. I'm a dolittle.
A dolittle? All right! I heard about your family! Good people!
Oh, thanks. So what's going on?
I refuse to live with that woman for one more second!
Why not? What's wrong with her?
Come over tomorrow night around bath time, and you can see for yourself.
Wait. But you're a cat. You're not supposed to bathe a cat.
Exactly! We self-groom!
I mean, hasn't she ever wondered what we're doing when we do this? Mmm, mmm.
If she wants to bathe anyone, she should start by bathing herself
talk about old-lady smell!
Ugh! Gag me with a fur ball!
Excuse me. What's going on here?
Oh, that nice young lady is helping my kitty down from that tree.
What? Hey! She can't be up there!
You can't be up there! Come down now.
Look at that. It's almost like they're having a conversation.
Thanks.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Okay. Well, if she agrees to never bathe you again-
and start bathing herself.
And to start bathing herself, will you come down?
It's okay. Just hang on.
Here you go. Thank you so much.
You silly old thing. Oh, I missed you so much.
This little kitty's nine lives are still intact...
Thanks to 17-year-old Maya dolittle,
daughter of world-renowned animal communicator, Dr. John dolittle.
Like her father, the younger dolittle...
Actually talked the cat down from the tree.
I guess you could say the cat didn't get her tongue.
I can't believe I made the news!
It is very exciting.
My MySpace page is going crazy!
You see? This is what I want to do with my life.
I didn't have to go through years of school just to help that cat down from the tree.
Yeah, I'm with you. There's gotta be some way I can start helping animals now.
Who could that be?
Okay, so get this-it's a reality show about me doing a reality show.
So it's going to be, like, twice as real!
I can't wait to read the script.
Uh, excuse me. Can I help you?
But what I'm really excited about is my new perfume.
Um, excuse me. I couldn't believe it either.
It was so hard figuring out what I wanted it to smell like.
Did you know that there are, like, dozens of different smells in the world?
Oh, my gosh! I couldn't believe it either.
That's Tiffany Monaco! Lucky, do you know who that is?
- That is the heiress-heiress. - Heiress-heiress? What's she an heiress of?
Of being an heiress! Her mom was an heiress who married an heir
she's, like, one of the hottest celebrities out there!
I read her exclusive interview.
Her favorite color is pink.
You're Maya, right? Right.
What am I talking about?
You are coming to L.A. with me.
Los Angeles? Why?
Because I saw you on TV!
You are the girl who can talk to animals, right? Uh-huh.
So you've gotta come with me and talk to Princess.
Who's Princess? Princess, you know? My little dog.
She has been totally depressed lately.
She wouldn't even come with me to San Fran for our spring shopping trip.
There's this awesome little boutique here that sells high heels for dogs.
It's called best in shoe.
So obviously she's totally messed, right?
And I need you to talk to her. So, wait.
You're saying your pet needs help, and you think I can help her?
Yeah.
Can you stay right here for one minute for me, please?
Where? Absolutely not.
Come on, mom. Please! I really want to do this.
Maya, we are leaving in two weeks to take you to college.
We have way too much to do before then.
And with your father in China working with the pandas for a month,
it is all up to you and me.
- Mom, we'll get it done. Don't worry. - Maya.
Mom, come on. You've seen the orientation video.
I won't be able to help another animal for seven years.
Please, just let me help this one now.
Maya, try the puppy dog eyes. She's a sucker for those.
Come on, with me. In three, two, one, and-
please.
Now, call me as soon as you arrive and then call me again an hour after that, okay?
As a matter of fact, just call me every hour. Okay, mom!
You will have her back tomorrow morning, right? I have my own jet!
Mom, don't worry! Everything will be fine, I promise.
Okay. All right! More time with Maya!
I get the window seat.
Finally, the break I've been waiting for!
Hollywood, here I come! Ha-ha!
Maya, remember, I'll be waiting for your call, honey.
I won't forget. I'll call you when I land.
I sure hope Maya packed some snacks in here.
Monkey loves the cheesy puffs!

Oh, boy, Maya. You are really gonna regret bringing me on this trip, huh?
Hmm?
Whoo! That's the last time I fly coach.
There's never enough tail room!
Huh?
And now, monkey is ready for his close-up!
[ Chuckles I hmm.
Oh! There she is! Oh!
There's my precious little girl!
Hey, hey! How much is that doggy in the window?
There's my little boobsie-woobsie. This is the girl mommy told you about.
You tell her what's bothering you, and she'll make you feel all better, okay, baby-waby?
Ooh!
All right. Let's see you work your magic. Okay.
Hey, Princess. I'm Maya.
So you want to tell me what's goin' on? Why don't you want to leave your room anymore?
Why? Why?
Because I'm a guy! That's why!
- A friggin' guy! - A guy!
Hey, I don't bark both ways.
Look at me! Doesn't that crazy broad realize how humiliating this getup is?
Do you have any idea...
How much poop I take on the street from other dogs?
It's enough to make a dog want to put himself to sleep!
I can't believe this.
I'm actually watching someone talk to an animal. Oh, really?
Oh, my god. No way.
- This could be huge. - But wait-i don't understand.
How could she not have noticed?
Hasn't she ever seen you go... potty?
She doesn't take me to go potty.
No, she's got a whole staff for that!
The only time when she even holds me is when there are cameras around!
And then I wind up dressed up like-like this!
Okay, okay. Well, just calm down.
I'll just- I'll just tell her, okay?
So, um, Tiffany,
I don't know how to tell you this, but, uh, your Princess-
uh-huh? Is a prince.
She is? I mean, he is?
Wow!
He's, like, totally gonna need a new outfit!

So, I have an anhouncement to make.
The dog formerly known as Princess...
Will now be known as... Rocco!
Hey, make sure to get my good side.
Well, actually, every side is my good side, huh?
Hey, thanks for your help, Maya.
No problem, Rocco.
Unbelievable!
Yo! Like my shades?
Uh, lucky? I'm over here.
Huh? What's that? Oh! Oh, sorry.
You should really take those things off. You can't even see anything.
What? Oh, no, no. Not a thing.
But Hollywood parties aren't about seeing. They're about being seen.
I didn't really pack to be seen.
Not that I own anything to be seen in at this party.
Hey, come on. What's important is we're together... in Hollywood!
Jo" hey, I love this song!
Come on. Let's dance!
J yeah, who havin' fun we havin' fun go, go, go!

oj who havin' fun we have a sugar rush
- ah! - Hey, watch it, bozo!
Oh, my god. Lucky! I'm so sorry!
Hey, it's okay, really.
Uh, but...
You might want to consider getting your dog a seeing-eye dog.
Oh, no, no, no. He's not blind. He's-
you were joking, weren't you? Trying to.
Oh, no, no, no. It was really, really funny.
I'm sorry. I'm just a little out of my element here.
I've never been to a party like this before.
I've never been anywhere like this before. You know what?
I'm sorry. Can we start over? I'm Maya.
Uh, Brandon. It's nice to meet you. You too.
So, uh, I'm guessing you're new in town?
Well, you could say that. I'm just here until tomorrow. I'm staying with Tiffany.
Tiffany? Wow.
Uh, you don't really look like one of Tiffany's friends.
But in a good way! I mean, you look better than Tiffany's friends.
You look real.
Hey. Hey, Maya? Hello? Remember me from earlier?
Me, your dance partner?
Ah, forget it. I"m single. I'll mingle.
You know, you look familiar. Do you know that?
Ah, yeah, yeah. I was in-
oh, my god! I know what it is! You're Brandon booker!
You were in that TV show, the one where you had 12 brothers and sisters.
Keeping up with the bakers. Yeah, I played Timmy baker.
Oh, my gosh. I used to love that show!
You know, I'm not the kind of guy who spends all his time chasing tail.
I'm looking for something meaningful.
I'm a dog, but I'm not a dog, you know?
So, twins, huh? Wow.
Bet you two were the pick of the litter.
Oh, I remember this one episode where your family formed a band. You entered a talent contest.
You were so good in that. You remember that episode?
Yeah! Well, thanks. Thanks a lot.
Excuse me.
You're Maya dolittle, aren't you?
Uh, yeah.
Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my god!
Tiffany told us all about you!
Long story.
Here. Talk to my baby. Ask him what he thinks of his new do!
Help me.
Um-so?
Well...
Hey, where does a guy get a drink around here, huh?
I hear the toilets in this place are filled with champagne.
[ Clattering I
- who let the dog in here? - Sorry! My bad!
Get out! J come on,
ugh. What a night.
Hello, Rick darling.
All right, Monaco. Spill it.
What's so important that you had to pull your agent...
Out of his weekly bamboo lemongrass body scrub?
Well, you know how we've been talking about taking my career to a new level?
Yeah, yeah.
The whole dancing on tables and getting into fake feuds thing...
Is starting to wear a little thin.
So what have you got?
You ever heard of Dr. dolittle?
Heard of him? I tried to sign him.
I thought I could make that guy a superstar,
but he was more interested in helping animals.
Like there's any money in that.
Well, what if I told you I knew his daughter?
His daughter? So? Mm-hmm.
So... she can talk to animals too.
Really? Uh-huh.
And the best part?
She's right over there.
Monaco, I never thought I would say this, but...
You are a genius!
This could be exactly what we're looking for.
There's only one problem. She's leaving tomorrow morning.
What? Oh, no, she's not. Keep her here, Monaco.
Do whatever you have to do, but keep her here until tomorrow afternoon...
And bring her by my office, 3:00 sharp.
I'm not gonna let this dolittle get away.
Keep her here?
How am I gonna do that?
J electrified
hmm.
Thank you so much. From now on, I'll keep him 100% natural.
Come on. Let's go get his ears pierced!
Oh, no! Not again.
Okay, how long of a story is it?
Maya, I see you've met Brandon. Isn't he the cutest?
Cute? I don't think he's cute at all
I've sniffed butts cuter than him, so take it as you will.
Lucky, knock it off! Um, Tiffany?
My mom called a couple times. Actually, about eight.
She was wondering if you still plan on taking me home tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning? But aren't you having lunch with Brandon tomorrow afternoon?
What? Lunch?
Brandon, I assumed you'd asked her to lunch by now.
Uh-well, I thought about it, Tiffany,
but I thought she had to go home.
Oh! Well, I'm sure she can stay a few more hours to have lunch with you.
- Right, Maya? - Uh-well, sure.
I guess so. I want to stay.
Great! I'll have a whole picnic prepared for you in the gardens!
Oh, yeah. That'd be great.
Okay. Well, I guess I'll see you then.
I guess you will.
Come on. I have so many people to introduce you to.
Man's best friend. How quickly they forget.
Hey, wait for me. Hey, yo, yo, check it out! He's up to a hundred sodas!
That's, like, a record!
Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug!
Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug!
Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug!
[ Swallows, belches I
excusez-moi!
Get funky with the monkey!
Oh, Tiffany, thank you so much for putting this together.
This is nice. No problem.
Anything I can do to help.
I think you and Brandon make such a cute couple.
It's just too bad you're going to San Francisco so soon.
Yeah. Hmm.
There he is!
Okay. Spot check. What?
Hmm. Oh.
Smudge? Okay! We're good. Good luck.
Okay. Thanks. Bye.
All this fuss for some lousy actor? Come on, Maya.
I know these kind of guys. They're all dogs.
Lucky, just be nice, okay?
Okay, but if this guy gets fresh with you,
I'm gonna take a big bite out of his-
hot dog!
Ahh! Hey, Maya.
I hope you don't mind, but I brought my dog.
Maya, this is Emmy.
- Oh, hey, girl. How you doin'? - Hello.
Hi. I'm, uh-I'm lucky.
No. I think I'm the one that's lucky.
Bowwow! I think I just met my dream dog.
Hope you like to play! What, are you kidding?
I'm the one that put the “lic” in “frolic”
well, looks like they've hit it off.
So you want to go for a walk?
Okay.
Don't worry, Rick. We are totally on schedule.
So how do you like Hollywood so far?
Oh, it's amazing. I mean, look at this place!
Everything is so different and exciting.
I'll bet you love living here.
Love living here? Yeah, I don't know about that.
I mean, I love acting, but Hollywood?
To tell you the truth, sometimes I think about going back to school...
And learning to do something completely different.
Really? Like what?
I don't know. There's just so much out there to learn, you know?
If you started tomorrow, you'd probably finish before I did.
Oh! Well, when do you go to college? I start next week.
Really? Yeah.
Wait. So what are you doing here?
To tell you the truth,
I don't really even know myself.
So, what was that thing at the party?
That little trick you pulled with the day-glo dog?
Oh, no. That wasn't a trick.
I can talk to animals, and they can talk to me.
That was a good one.
You really had me going there for a second.
Oh, so you really don't believe me, huh? Okay.
Emmy! Emmy, come here, girl!
Come here.
Look, I need you to tell me something about Brandon that only you would know.
Oh, really?
Ooh. That's interesting.
It's a bit sad, actually.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, okay. What did she “say”? Oh, nothing really.
Just that you TiVo dr: Ph/I..
And still sleep with star wars sheets on your bed.
Oh, my god.
You can talk to animals. I told you so.
It runs in my family.
My father is this really amazing man who helps animals all over the world.
Dolittle is kind of a big name to live up to,
so that's why I just want to get started, you know?
I feel like every day I'm not using my gift, I'm wasting it.
Yeah! It really is an amazing gift.
And to think, today you used it to find out I'm a total dork.
Shall we?
Sure.
So, what's your favorite movie?
Oh, that's easy. Lady and the tramp. Really? Mine too!
Wow! It's uncanny, isn't it?
Yeah. It's like we came from the same pet store.
I know. It's so romantic!
It's too bad we didn't get a chance to spend more time together.
A little more time with Emmy, and who knows what I would have found out about you.
Well, uh,
it was nice meeting you, Maya dolittle.
Oh, it was nice meeting you too, Mr. Brandon booker.
So, if you guys ever make it out to the bay area, sniff me out, huh?
And you can always send me a “flea mail.” get it?
Get it? Flea mail'
uh, hello? Plane to catch, remember?
Well, have a good trip, huh? You too.
Not that you're going anywhere, because you live here.
Um, "m gonna get in the car now.
Yeah. I'll see you, Tiffany.
Thank you.
Hey, it's okay. Maybe you'll see him again.
I don't know how. I'm gonna be in college in San Francisco, and he'll be here.
Well, you never know.
Sometimes life takes, like, totally unexpected turns, right?
I just, um, need to pick up something from my agent's office.
It'll only take a sec. Okay.
You come too. Okay.
Okay. Hey, what about me?
Thank you. What am I, chopped liver?
Star map? Huh!
What kind of a star map doesn't feature king Kong?
What a rip-off!
Come on. His office is right down here.
Yeah. It's chase.
Listen, I met someone at a party I think could be huge!
Yeah. And get this- he's a monkey.
No, no, a-monkey.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. He's gonna be huge, man.
I love the new decor here.
Jj
Uh, Tiffany, what's going on?
Is that-that's right.
It's you, Maya dolittle, on television!
Better get used to it, girl.
Better get used to it? Tiffany, what is he talking about?
Just listen to what he has to say, 'Kay?
Ladies, please have a seat on that couch.
Come on in.
Hi, Maya. My name is Rick Beverly.
And I like to consider myself a dream maker.
I spend my life making people's dreams...
Come true.
I did it for Tiffany, and I can do it for you too.
Now, I know all about your amazing talents.
And I bet I know what your dream is-
to spend your life helping the animals, right?
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
That's beautiful. Just like your daddy.
You got me right in my heart part.
Well, what better way to help those poor animals...
Than with your very own TV show?
Atv show?
Maya, the world-
no, the animals-
they need someone who cares,
someone who can give them a voice.
And who better to give them that voice...
Than someone who can actually talk to them?
Who better than you, Maya dolittle?
Uh-so, wait.
What you're trying to say is you want to put me onatv show?
No. He's saying he wants to put us on TV!
Exactly! Tiffany and Maya!
Jo the animal talkers!
It will be so hot!
We'll wear, like, really amazing outfits and have on really cool pets.
Cool! Maybe you can even teach me how to talk to animals too!
Wait, wait! Wait, you guys. Hold on.
This is all really exciting, but I can't do a TV show.
I'm about to start studying to become a veterinarian.
Wow! A veterinarian. Good for you.
I bet that takes a long time though, huh?
Yeah, it actually does. Like seven years.
Oh! Seven years?
What a long time to waste- I mean, wait.
Or...
You could do this TV show...
And start helping those poor little animals...
Right now.
Yes, lucky, this is the answer [Ve been looking for.
The answer? Wait a minute.
So if you did this TV show, then you wouldn't go away to college?
Nope! Wouldn't have to.
I love it! The animal talkers, it's brilliant!
Oh, thank you, lucky.
Thank you for always looking out for what's best for me.
What's best for you? Oh, yes, exactly.
I mean, who else would I be thinking of?
Oh, no. It's mom.
I don't know if she'll be as supportive. What should I do?
Tell her. Might as well get it over with, right?
I'll just try to buy us some time.
Hello?
Hey, mom! Uh, no, we haven't left yet.
But, um, I was thinking,
would it be okay if I stayed another couple days or so?
Another couple days? Maya, no. You have to get back.
This was supposed to be an overnight thing.
Mom, mom, come on. Just listen to me for a second.
I may have an opportunity to help a lot more animals out here...
If I just stay a little longer.
Longer? How much longer? Well, I don't know yet.
Okay.
Stay a few more days. Help some more animals.
I guess I can finish up this packing myself,
and as long as you're back by Saturday, we should be in good shape.
Okay. All right. Thank you, mommy. Have fun.
Love you. Bye.
Yes!
I had my chef prepare a special breakfast to celebrate the first day of your new life!
Wow. Have I died and gone to doggie heaven or what?
So, eat up and enjoy, and then we've got to motor.
Rick wants to pitch our show to the networks, like, yesterday, so we're already totally behind.
Oh, don't worry. I already started thinking about what the show should be like.
I think I want it to be, like, educational, you know?
We can answer viewers' questions, and we can go into the audience and-
that reminds me! We need guests, so I figured we could go on the Internet and, like-
okay, like, press pause. We are way ahead of you on that.
Rick's already set up a bunch of appointments with possible celebrity guests.
Wait. Celebrity guests? Totally!
You think anyone's gonna watch the show if we just interview regular people's animals?
I don't think so! Really?
Ugh. Smells like fish eggs. Oh, well.
Celebrity guests, they're okay, too, but I don't want it to all be about that.
Right, right. Of course, of course.
But, Maya, trust me, if we want the show to take off, we've got to shoot for the stars.
Okay. Whatever you say. All right
- come on! - Mmm. Mmm-mmm!
Here we are. Where are we?
Do you like Chad Cassidy movies? Of course.
Well, that's whose house this is. No way!
I like to call him Chad hunkly.
Hi, Chad!
Miss Monaco! Come on down.
Hey, love you, babe.
Sorry about having to meet out here, but I'm training for my next role.
I'm doing the Abe Lincoln story.
We spiced it up a little bit.
Chad, we're doing this show, and we would love you and chubster to be on it.
Right, Maya?
Maya? Oh, oh! Um, yeah.
I'm sorry. I've just seen all your movies. I'm a really big fan of yours.
Yeah, me too.
But, um, Tiffany's right. We would love for you to be on our show.
It's gonna be all about celebrities and their pets.
Well, that's not what it's all about.
That's part of it, but it's mostly about helping all kinds of animals.
Oh, yeah? Well, funny you came by today...
Because I could really use some help with my pig, chubster.
Really? Yeah.
She's been giving me problems lately.
She's lost her appetite or something. She just won't eat.
No matter what I try to give her, she just turns her nose up at it.
Really? Yeah.
Hmm. I'll tell you what.
If you can figure out what's wrong with her, I'll do your show.
- Sound good? - Sounds great!
Okay, Maya. Do your stuff. Okay.
This way.
There she is right there. Hey, chub.
Chubster
I just don't know what's wrong with her.
Chubster? Hi! I'm Maya.
So I hear you're not too interested in food lately.
What's going on? What's the matter? Look at me! I'm obese!
Okay. But you're a pig. Aren't you supposed to be fat?
Says who? Why does the word “pig” always have to be associated with being fat?
Well, I ain't gonna be part of the problem no more!
Well, look, I applaud you for what you're trying to do, but you can't just not eat.
It's not healthy. What else can I do?
I have a slow metabolism!
Well, I really don't know what to tell you.
You know what? I think I have an idea.
J let yourselfgo
oh, thank you, Maya!
I can feel the pounds just dropping off already.
Bikini season, here I come!
You shouldn't have any trouble with getting her to eat now.
But you should also consider a low-calorie diet.
Wow. I don't know what to say, but...
I'll see you at the taping of your new show.
- Right, chubster? - You got it, Chad baby!
Oh, you nailed it! You really nailed it.
I did? Totally! You know what?
I think you and I make a really great team. I think we do.
Now, you get these next few celebs to commit, and we are golden.
You are gonna love this band.
J went to the doctor he said I'm sick
j hey, doc, diagnose your daughter quick
j if your newborn's face looks a mystery
j it's 'cause me and your wife we've got a history
j she said, come on, let's go come on,
[engine roaring I
Mondays always are hell
j Wednesday, Thursday always suck as well
j it's time to shake
thank you so much for letting us visit you on the set of your new film.
So how can we help you with your pony?
Buttercup is a total nightmare to work with.
I should have listened to my manager.
He said never to work with animals or children.
Tell me about it.
This is it. Just one left.
You help this animal, and no network in town will turn us down.
Oh, great! So whose place is this, and what kind of pet do they have?
Mmm. You better just see for yourself.
J I plan to go out with a bang not a whimper j
j I still gotta watch my temper j
j watch over both shoulders 'cause of what I'm into
j sometimes I get emotional 'cause of what I've been through 2
o it goes anger, anger that's one of my hang-ups j
j you don't want to rock and roll 'cause your head gets banged up
j feel tension blood starts pumping
j my friends always win in a fight, I still jump in jt
j yeah, cold-hearted man, I'm so robotic
j not like you forgot but I'm slightly psychotic j
j I'm here to terrorize-j yo, yo, yo, fellas. Cut it. Cut it.
Hey! Whaddup, ladies? Come on down here.
Hey, yo, Manny. Chill for five, a'ight?
Aight
- ridiculuz. - Tiffany baby.
Thanks for comin'.
Ms. dolittle, Tiffany's told me so much about you.
Ladies, this is serious. I mean, I don't even know what to do.
This is Mr. fluffernufferman.
He, like, my best friend in the whole world.
He, like-he, like, the only “g” I can really trust.
You feel me?
Thing is, he ain't really been acting hisself lately.
It's like he don't hang with me and the homeys no more.
He be all sulkin' in the corners.
Sometimes he be hiding underneath the furniture, man.
Don't worry.
Maya will find out what's bothering him.
Ms. dolittle, you just got to do somethin'.
He, like-he, like, the wind beneath my wings.
Okay.
Hi, Mr. fluffernufferman.
Um, I'm Maya. So you want to tell me what's goin' on?
I'll tell you what's going on. I hate rap music!
You do? Yeah!
Look at these ears! They're finely tuned instruments!
They require something more delicate, you know?
Well, what did you have in mind?
Jj [ Orchestra: Classical I
yeah! Yeah, yeah!
I could get down with this. Yeah! Old school!
So, uh, ladies, when's this show of yours taping?
Yes, he has a little bunny rabbit. Can you believe it?
Two days ago, I was sitting in my bedroom packing to go to college,
and now I'm in Los Angeles, hanging out with celebrities...
And putting together my own TV show.
Oh, and not to mention going to dinner with Brandon booker himself.
That's right. That's right. - And you won't even tell me where we're going.
Will you trust me? You're gonna love this place where I got... reservations.
Best view in town.
I think they used to shoot episodes of Lassie up here.
Lassie. Now, there was a beautiful animal.
Think she ever had any work done? I don't know.
Maybe a little collie-gen. Good one!
So, what about school? What did you tell your parents?
Well, I haven't exactly told them yet.
You haven't told them? No.
I'll just wait to tell her until things are final.
Oh, and we go see the TV network tomorrow to see if they want to put the show on.
Really? Mm-bmm.
Good luck! Oh, oh, oh.
Okay. We're almost there. It's just up ahead.
I just don't understand where in the world you would have reservations up here.
Trust me. It is-
amazing!
Brandon, this is absolutely amazing!
I told you it was the best view in town.
You can see everything from here.
You really can.
Look, that's the big record building over there.
Wow. This is really something else.
Remember that cool theater we drove by?
You see it right there? You see it?
Hollywood walk of fame! Yeah, yeah. That's the bowling alley.
You can see the ocean. Oh, my god.
Wow! Your owner is a real class act.
He's starting to smell better and better to me. Mmm.
So, hungry?
Um, well, I haven't really had much of an appetite recently.
Oh. No? No.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I've just been feeling a little off the past few days.
- Really tired too. - Huh?
Oh, hey, hang on a second. Uh, hey, Maya.
Emmy said she's feeling a little strange-really tired, doesn't want to eat and stuff
any ideas?
Is he talking to you right now? Actually, he is.
He said Emmy's feeling a little weird. She is?
Yeah, but don't worry. I'm sure I can help her.
So you're feeling a little tired and you don't want to eat.
Hmm. Well, maybe a change of diet can have a positive effect.
I met this pig today who has a big problem with food.
So what do you think, girl?
Maybe a little variety might help?
Sure. Okay. I'm willing to give it a try.
Lucky, there are some extra dumplings in the basket. Why don't you try those?
Thanks, Maya. - Ah, you're welcome, girl. And don't worry.
Everything will be okay.
What? Nothing.
It's just that... the view's not the only thing up here that's amazing.
Here you go.
Dig into these.
You got some sauce on your nose.
I did? Where?
Here. I'll get it.
Whoa. I-I knew being sloppy would pay off someday, but-
ahh!
Add to that appearances by one Chad Cassidy,
not to mention hip-hop superstar ridiculuz,
on top of all the other celebrities we have already discussed,
and ladies and gentlemen, I think-
no, I know that you have found...
Your next big show.
Hmm. Hmm.
Hmm.
I think.
We love it.
You do? More than love it
love love it!
That's a lot of love.
We think this show can be big.
- Hmm. - No. Bigger than big.
- Hmm. - Huge!
- Hugely big. - Hmm.
In fact, we have a hole in our fall schedule...
I think we could fill with this show.
I can't believe it! I'm gonna be on TV!
I can start helping animals right now!
Absolutely. There are, however, a few small changes we'd like to discuss first
small changes?
Oh, smaller than small. Itsy-bitsy.
- Teeny-weeny. - Okay. Like what?
Well, for starters, we'd like to tone down the whole “helping” thing.
Tone down? But that's what this show is all about.
Oh, absolutely.
We just think the show could be more entertaining-mm-hmm.
- While it's helping. - Hmm.
But it has to help.
I swear, if this show doesn't help, I don't know what we're doing here.
Mm-mmm.
- Any of us. - Um-hmm.
Oh! Okay.
Well I can understand that more entertaining.
Uh, anything else?
We can iron out all the finer details later
right now the big question is...
Do we have a deal?
Maya dolittle,
welcome to network television.
Oh!
Yes!
Congratulations, kiddo! You did it!
Oh, thanks, guys. But look, I still have one concern.
I know the show still has to be entertaining,
let me ask you a question. You are Maya dolittle, correct?
Of course I am. And Maya dolittle wants to help animals, right?
That's all I've ever wanted to do.
If Maya dolittle is involved in this show, then how can it not be about helping animals?
Maya dolittle helps animals! That's what she does!
Yeah. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Of course it does.
Now, look, I don't want you to worry about any of this stuff, okay?
I will not let anyone ruin...
Your vision for this show.
Okay, kiddo? Okay.
'Cause I'm Rick Beverly. See? That's what I do.
Now, there is just one small detail left to discuss.
Not a big one, just a small one. And what's that?
That's my contract. The contract?
It's nothing out of the ordinary.
It just gives me permission to represent you and to use your likeness, etcetera, etcetera.
And there's a bunch of legal hoo-ha that you don't have to concern yourself with at all.
Tiff signed the exact same thing when we started working together.
- Isn't that right, tiff? - Oh, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, fun.
Um, you know what?
I think I should read it before I sign it. Is that okay?
Absolutely!
Absolutely you should read it before you sign it.
I wouldn't have it any other way. Wouldn't be right.
You know what, Rick? We can worry about all this stuff later.
Maya and I have something way more important we have to do first.
- Like what? - Celebrate.
And there's only one way I know how to do that.
Jw
Maybe I should have saw those obscure signs
j that you were giving me
j maybe I should have read between the lines
j but I just didn't see
j all those lies you were making up
j what good is a heart if you ain't got no love
j / saw those last dialed numbers and now I know
j he told me everything that I wanted to know
j so long, you go get with your crew
j you're no longer my baby-boo
o adids, comprende c'est la vie
j you can't get back with me
j keep your memories, girl that's all you get
j / don't want you no more
j hit the road I told her, so now you split
monkeys. We never go out of style.
J every moment I tried to give you more
j loved you way better than the day before
j screw you're sorry 'cause I already know everything
j so now you've got to go
j so long, you go get with your crew
j you're no longer my baby-boo
o adids, comprende c'est la vie
j yeah, you can't get back with me
j you can't get back with me
j you can't get back with me j,"
wow! Celebrating is so much fun.
Well, now that you're gonna stay out here, we can do it, like, every weekend.
Really? Mm-hmm.
Wow! That would be so great. But you know what?
You've already done so much for me already.
I don't want to impose more than I already have. - Hmm?
Besides, you probably want to get back to hanging out with your regular friends.
Oh! Yeah, you are so right.
Because I usually hang out with them, like, every day.
Sometimes I wish they wouldn't want to hang out so much, but you know friends.
They're just... so friendly.
Js" oh.
Sorry. I have to get this. Don't use up all the sun.
While you're up, bring me back one of those fancy drinks.
You know, the ones with the little umbrellas in them. - Hello?
“Friends.” good one.
What did you say? - I said that was a good one, about Tiffany having friends.
What do you mean?
I mean she doesn't.
Wait. What are you talking about?
Who do I see her all the time in the magazines with?
She's always hanging out with all kind of fabulous people.
Photo ops, staged for the cameras.
She doesn't really know any of those people.
It's kinda sad, if you think about it
yeah.
Sorry. That was Britney.
She wanted to hang out, but I told her I couldn't...
Because I was hanging out with my new best friend!
- Poor kid. - Hi, baby.
I hope it isn't who I think it is.
Okay, people.
The audience will be here in less than three hours,
so let's get cracking on our first rehearsal, hmm?
Look at you. You look dynamite.
Now, all the celebrity pets have arrived.
You all ready for rehearsal? Yep.
Totally. Great.
Then there's just one thing to talk about-the contract.
Did you get a chance to look at it? Oh, no. I completely forgot.
We've just been so busy. Has anyone seen my soy frappe?
Um, listen, this could be a bit of a problem...
Because before the cameras roll,
we need your name on the dotted line.
But if you need a few more days to read it, I guess that's okay.
I'll just send all these people home.
Oh, no. Um-I'm gonna be on TV!
I would sign it now, but I didn't bring it with me. Oh, what a coincidence.
- I have an extra one right here. - Oh, okay.
Well, if Tiffany signed the exact same thing, it should be fine, right?
- Right. - Okay. There you go.
Super.
Now, let's dolittle it!
Huh? You like that? I thought that could be your new catchphrase.
It's in the contract.
Oh, wait. Oh, no. It's my mom. Oh, great.
I guess I have to finally tell her what I've been doing.
Yeah. I'll be up in a minute.
Okay. Good stuff.
Hello? Hey, Maya!
Oh, no. No. Um, I haven't gotten any of your messages.
Maya, what is going on? You were supposed to be home yesterday.
Mom, I have to tell you something, and I really need you to try to understand, okay?
Uh-huh.
I've decided not to go to college...
And just stay in Los Angeles and do a TV show with Tiffany Monaco.
You're what?
Maya, I don't know what has come over you, but we will talk about it later when you get home.
Now, what you're going to do is pack your bags and get to the airport tonight.
I will have a ticket waiting for you. Do you understand me?
Look, mom, I've already made up my mind,
so you're just gonna have to accept it.
I gotta go. They're waiting for me in rehearsal.
I'll give you a call a little bit later.
Rehearsal? Maya, don't you dare hang up that phone, young lady.
Now, I am your mother, and we will-Maya?
Maya!
That didn't sound like it went really well.
Uh, you can say that.
But... she'll understand when she sees the show, right?
I mean, once she sees how much good the show is gonna do, right?
- Won't she? - Sure! Sure she will. Yeah, of course.
Don't give it a second thought. Thanks, lucky.
Now go out there and break a leg.
Rehearsal's on! And action!
J»
Hi, I'm Tiffany Monaco, and this is my friend-
Maya dolittle! And we would like to welcome you to-
the animal talkers!
Today we're gonna talk all about animal fashion!
Isn't that right, Maya? It sure is, tiff.
And our first episode is all about how to help our animals look good.
It's going to be such an amazing show.
We have Hollywood heartthrob Chad Cassidy.
Hey, Emmy! I'm psyched you guys could make it.
You want a tour of the studio? Sure, lucky. Thanks.
Oh, you're still not feeling well, are you? - Mm-mmm.
Come on. I know a place backstage where you can relax.
“You know, tiff, our first guest is not only one of the biggest Hollywood heartthrobs,
but he also has one of the biggest Hollywood hearts.”
So let's give a big, warm animal talkers welcome to Chad Cassidy.
And his v.I.P-very important pig, that is-chubster!
Ju
Chubster told Maya that when she's getting ready to paint the town red with Chad Cassidy,
she likes to think pink.
That's right, Tiffany.
And thanks to you and Maya, we'll never clash again.
Isn't that right, chubster?
J» [continues I
what is this? A fashion show?
So now I think it's time for us to bring out our next guest,
who happens to be one of my favorites.
J hey, yo. We happy to be here, yall.
Hey, Maya, who's that hip-hopper?
Girl, that is ridiculuz and his hare with flair, Mr. fluffernufferman.
We helped him find his inner mack daddy with this hot ensemble.
How do you like your new duds, Mr. fluffernufferman?
Really? Good one! That was really funny.
That was... amazing.
Thank you. Okay, thank you.
We're going to take five and reset for the next rehearsal. Thank you, people.
Roger, how was that?
Hey! So, what do you think? Hey.
Well, I think... I barely recognize you.
No, not me. I'm talking about the show. What do you think?
The show? Uh, yeah, well, the show-the show is interesting.
Interesting? Don't-don't you like it?
Well, I don't know. I guess-i mean, it wasn't what I expected.
I thought you wanted the show to be about helping animals.
Well, I did-1 do! I mean, it is, isn't it?
Yeah, well, I don't know. A pig in a tutu?
How does that really help anyone?
Look, it's just a different kind of help, you know? It still has to be entertaining.
I guess I'm just a little surprised, you know.
When you first told me about the show, I just pictured something more educational.
Maya. Maya!
Wait, lucky. Hold on one second.
I know the show has changed a little bit from when I first heard about it,
but it's still all about helping animals. Maya!
I mean, I'm Maya dolittle. All I wanna do is help animals. Maya!
So, why would I be on a show that isn't about helping animals?
Maya! Maya! I really need to talk to you!
Lucky, hold on a minute! Are you sure this is what you want to be doing?
Maya, listen to me! Emmy needs help!
Lucky, I said hold- wait. What did you say?
I think Emmy is really sick. You better come take a look at her.
Oh, no. What's the matter? Where are you going?
Lucky said he thinks there's something wrong with Emmy.
Emmy? Yeah, come on.
Maya? Where are you going, Maya? Maya! We need you on set.
Lucky, come on. Where is she? Over here. Hurry!
Ohh. Emmy.
[ Emmy whimpering I Emmy? What's the matter, girl? Tell me what's wrong.
I don't know.
I just keep feeling worse and worse.
Well, is she okay? What's the matter with her?
I'm not sure yet. Maya dolittle to the set!
Maya dolittle to the set, please!
Okay, I think I'd better get her to a vet. No, no, no.
I can help her. Emmy, can you tell me where does it hurt?
I don't know. I just feel so weak.
What did she say?
She's says she's not sure, but it's okay-no! I'm taking her to a vet.
But you don't have to because I can talk to her, so-Maya!
Just because you can talk to animals doesn't mean you know everything about them.
Are you going to help me get her to a vet or not?
Maya, what's going on? We need you right now.
Maya, we've got to do something.
We better hurry.
Come on. Shh.
It's okay. It's okay. Come on, baby.
Hey-w-w-where are you going?
- I'm sorry. - Sorry? I got a show to shoot!
“I'm sorry”? “I'm sorry”?
Excuse me. Excuse me. I think my dog is really sick.
Okay, let's bring her right through.
It's okay, Emmy. It's okay.
Okay.
I'm sorry. I'm going to have to ask you to wait outside.
Please just let her be okay.
Come on, come on!
What is taking so long?
[ Door opens I
she's gonna be okay. She is?
Yeah.
That is such a relief. What's wrong with her?
It's bordetella. It's actually fairly easy to diagnose.
The symptoms are quickly identifiable- fatigue, loss of appetite.
Fatigue and loss of appetite. The test confirmed it
most dogs are vaccinated for it when they're puppies, but for some reason she wasn't.
The people that I adopted her from told me that she had all her shots.
I guess I should have checked, huh?
Well, let's just say it's lucky that you caught it when you did and brought her in.
Yeah. It's lucky we caught it in time.
Emmy, I'm so sorry I couldn't figure out what was wrong with you.
It's okay, Maya. It's not your fault. How could you have known?
We're going to keep her here for observation. She needs some rest
mmm.
They said she could've died. And it would have been all my fault.
No, Brandon, it would have been mine,
and I'm so sorry.
Look, I'll talk to you about this later, okay?
Right now there's something I gotta do.
And I'm happy that Emmy is going to be okay.
Yeah.
I just don't-1 don't- where is she? Where is she?
If your client doesn't show-just relax.
Finally! Okay, people, Maya's here. We're set to go. Places, please!
Maya, are you okay? How's Brandon's dog?
I think she's going to be okay. Good. Are you okay?
Maya! Where have you been all day?
You completely missed rehearsal.
I know, and I'm really sorry, but look, I have something to tell you guys.
Well, we don't have time for that right now. We're about to start taping.
But, Rick, I really need to talk to you. Later.
Right now you've got to listen, okay?
J»
Excuse me. I'm looking for my daughter. Can you tell me where I can find Maya dolittle?
Because you missed rehearsal, you're going to have to go out there cold.
Just follow the cue cards and you'll be fine.
But, Rick, I-Tiffany's a pro. Just follow her lead, okay?
No, but-all right. Knock 'em dead, kiddo.
Yea, Tiffany! I love you!
All right!
- Hooray, Maya! - Maya, you rock!
We're all going tobeon TV!
Jw
Hi. I'm Tiffany Monaco.
And this is my friend-
- - I said, and this is my friend-
oh. Maya. Maya dolittle.
That's right.
And we are... The animal talkers!
The animal talkers. What she said.
Um, today we're going to talk all about animal fashion!
Isn't that right, Maya?
What's wrong with her?
Uph-
right, Maya?
Uh-
read what's on the cue cards, honey.
Um-
no.
No. That's not what I want to talk about. [Audience murmuring j
I want to talk about the fact that... This is all wrong.
What is she talking about?
A dog I know almost died today, and it was my fault.
I thought I could help her. I thought I did help her.
But it turns out...
I was just fooling myself.
You guys, Maya dolittle, the animal talker, can't even help animals...
Because Maya dolittle doesn't even know how to.
Well, at least not yet.
But Maya helped me. She certainly helped this dove.
Yeah. She helped all of us.
Guys, shh. Listen to her.
- Yeah. It's not what she's saying. - Shh!
I may have helped a few celebrity pets with their problems, but...
I want to do so much more.
Just because I can talk to animals doesn't mean I can help them-like, really help them...
When they need it the most.
And in order to do that,
I need to go to veterinary school.
So, I'm really sorry, Tiffany,
and I'm sorry to everybody in the audience, but...
I just can't do this show.
I hope you all will understand.
[ Whistling, cheering continues j
Oh, wow!
[Laughi la ghing /
great stuff. Really great stuff.
Um, Maya,
can I just have one quick word with you backstage?
Yeah, sure.
J»
That is such a relief.
Rick, thank you so much for understanding.
Understanding?
The only thing I understand is that as long as I have this,
you will do exactly what I want you to do...
When I want you todoit.
What? Don't you get it?
Thanks to your signature being on this contract, I own you.
I own your name. I own your little face.
I own all things Maya dolittle.
Just like I own Tiffany Monaco.
'Member? She signed the exact same contract.
You knew the contract said that and you didn't say anything to me?
- I thought we were friends! - Well, I...
Oh, yeah, “friends.” welcome to Hollywood.
So now I want you...
To march right back out to your little spot there on stage,
read whatever's on the cue cards...
And be Maya dolittle, the animal talker, okay?
- Hey. - What's he trying to pull?
He can't talk to her like that.
Right up there.
Come on.
Hey, everyone! You wanna help Maya out? Then get that contract!
This clown is going down!
- Let me at him. - After him!
Jump him!
- Come on! - Bust a move.
Charge!
Hey! Let go!
Hey! Hey, let go!
You're about to get a mouthful of hoof, buddy boy! - Get him!
- Give me that contract! - What the heck is going on here?
Hey, you-you back off.
Get away from me.
Okay, okay, stop. Stay right there. Back it up. Back it up.
Do you know who I am?
Turtle, that's far enough. Hey, you. Stop it right there with your-
I don't even know what you are!
Hey, get back there. Maya? Maya! Tell these animals to back off, will you?
Oh, no, Rick, I'm sorry. I don't believe that's on the cue cards.
Get away from me!
- Hey, stop! - Get him!
Stay back, fur balls!
After him! I am on his tail!
Where is he? Everybody, split up!
Follow your noses and sniff him out.
His bacon is fried!
Search and destroy! Oh, he is fertilizer now!
This way!
Lucky!
I hope he likes warts! Let's put the squeeze on him!
I can smell that rat around here.
Lucky! Lucky, which way did he go?
This way. Come on!
Where did he go? This way? Come on, let's go!
Hey, there he goes!
I'm after him!
Feet, do your duty.
Hey, out of my way, slowpoke.
[Squealing, snorting I
ooh, piggy.
You think I am afraid of you?
[Am D'Artagnan,
and I am not afraid ofanything!
Snake!
Hey, whazzup?
Fork over that contract!
Bull's-eye.
Why, you little-
- that's it for you. - Uh-oh.
All right. Easy there, big fella.
This town's not big enough for the two of us.
You know what I want and I'm here to get it.
Here I come, city boy!
Everything's cool. Everything's cool.
Chicken'
yee-hah!
Whoa!
Oww/
Huh?
Cut! [ Crew chattering I
thanks, buddy. You ruined the take.
[ Laughi 2 ghing I
sorry, everyone. Um, wow. Looks great
movies-love 'em.
Mummies-spooky.
- Oh, no. - Oh, yes.
Um, hey, there's-
wind here if you guys need it.
W-w-whoa!
Have a nice trip. Bye-bye.
Aaah!
- Look! Lucky, there he is! - After him!
Huh?
Maya! This way!
There he is! Time for warp speed!
Ape-pollo 13, scene 16, take two.
Action!
My oxygen sensors indicate...
The atmosphere on this alien planet is totally breathable.
What do you think, monkey?
Cut! Brilliant.
I feel so cheap.
Lucky, hurry! He's getting away!
Looks like Maya needs me! And I think perhaps I need my dignity back.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey. Hey! Get that monkey back here, or he's finished!
Ah, who cares? What I really want to do is direct.
Whoa!
Gotcha!
Slow and steady wins the race.
You stupid bunch of animals.
You think you can make a fool out of Rick Beverly? You'll never get this contract.
Think again, blondie. Finders keepers!
Hey! Monkey! Get back here!
Monkey, what are you doing here?
Oh, I was just in the neighborhood and I-
hey! Give that back to monkey!
Come on.
Oh, Monaco. Good job.
Did I ever tell you you are my favorite client?
Now hand it over:
Actually, I don't think I'm gonna do that, Rick.
Excuse me?
What a friend would do is-
ah-ah-ah! Whoa-whoa-whoa!
Monaco, before you do something that you might regret,
remember, I still own you.
Your name still belongs to me.
You know what? You can have it.
Ohh!
It's not even my real name.
You- and you!
Y- you will never work in this town again.
None of you!
I'll make sure of that!
You call yourself a shark? /"m a shark!
Ah, bite me.
Oh, Tiffany, thank you so much.
Hey, I'm the one that got you into this whole mess.
The least I could do is help you get out of it, right?
Well, she's not the only one who got you into it.
I mean, uh-what? What do you mean, lucky?
I encouraged you to go to los Angeles to do the show...
Even though I knew it probably wasn't the best thing for you.
You did? Why? - Because I didn't want you to go away to school.
You're my best friend, Maya. I don't want to lose you.
It's okay, lucky. I understand.
But you don't have to worry,
because no matter where I go or what I'm doing, we will always be best friends.
Okay? Deal.
Maya? Uh-oh.
Mom?
Mom. Wait.
Before you say anything, please let me explain myself. Mm-hmm.
I know I messed up. I know this TV show was a stupid idea.
It was just a shortcut, and I realize that now.
All I want to do is go to vet school, no matter how long it takes.
Helping the animals will be worth it. I know.
Mom, I know you're mad at me, and I'm sorry because I should have called, but-
wait. What did you say?
Maya, I saw the whole thing.
I am... so proud of you.
Thank you, mom.
So, do we still have time to make it to registration?
We could try.
Uh, hello? Private jet, remember?
Let's go.
And so that's the story of how Maya dolittle started vet school
let me tell you, it was a close one, all right.
But you know what? It all turned out all right n the end.
And as for me-
hey, what can I say? She's my best friend. Aw!
Did you really think I was just gonna let her go off to college without me?
But I wasn't the only surprise Maya got at college.
Remember that Brandon guy?
Surprise. Huh?
He decided to finally take that time off from Hollywood and go to college.
- And where do you think he applied? - I can't believe it!
And since Brandon was there, guess who else showed up?
So, 1 guess it all worked out in the end.
Boy, Hollywood sure is one crazy place,
and it's probably best we all got it out of our systems.
Well almost all of us.
And cut!
All right, everyone, that's a wrap!
Now, will someone please bring me a banana latte?
