STRAIGHT ARROW
The same.(STRAIGHT ARROW smiles and extends his hand. He and DOLITTLE embrace and shake hands.)
Welcome to Popsipetel! This is the capital of Sea Star Island!

DOLITTLE
Capital, indeed!
(to EMMA)
You see? I told you it was civilized!

STRAIGHT ARROW
(greeting them)
Please forgive that unfortunate welcome! Customs and Immigration thought you were invading us! But happily, you re just in time for tea!
(Two WARRIORS carry in a giant tea tray.)
Earl Grey, cucumber sandwiches and Dundee cake. Tuck in, Tommy.

(TOMMY and MADELINE dive into the sandwiches, EMMA pours the tea, and DOLITTLE and STRAIGHT ARROW resume their conversation.)

DOLITTLE
(indicating the tea)
Seeing all this, I  er  take it you have  er  visited England.

STRAIGHT ARROW
Ten years. Harrow and Oxford. That s how I got my nickname.

DOLITTLE
Nickname?

STRAIGHT ARROW
Straight Arrow. When I was ten, my father wanted me to go straight to Harrow, so that s what they called me.  Straight to Harrow.

DOLITTLE
(amused)
Good Lord! I wish I d known! We could have avoided all those years of picture writing! This is a truly remarkable place!

STRAIGHT ARROW
I pride myself that Sea Star Island is the world s most perfect animal sanctuary!
