Unexpected Arrival and Plane Troubles
Gloria
Oh, we're here. What in the world? What happened to the plane? What did y'all do to the plane?
[confused]
Melman
Is this thing ever working?
[muffled]
Marty
I'm OK. I'm alive.
Melman
Hey, guys?
[muffled]
Gloria
I can't even sleep for a minute. You know what? This is not JFK. I don't think.
Alex
Wow.
Skipper
Kowalski, casualty report.
[as Alex watches]
Kowalski
Two passengers unaccounted for, Skipper.
Skipper
That's a number I can live with. Good landing, boys! Who says a penguin can't fly?
[All give a High-5!]
Alex
Hey, happy slappers! Is there some reason to celebrate? Look at the plane!
[as he walks up close]
Skipper
We'll fix it.
Alex
Fix it? How are you gonna fix this?
Skipper
Grit, spit and a whole lot of duct tape. We should be up and running in, say, six to nine months.
Alex
Sixty-nine months?!
Skipper
No, six TO nine months. Kowalski, I say we use this setback to our advantage.
Alex
Where'd you get that number?
Skipper
I want you to reconfigure the design.
Alex
How do you estimate that?
Skipper
You! Pretty boy! Why don't you and your friends dig a latrine? Maybe find water.
Alex
Hold on a second. Who made you king of the plane wreck?
Skipper
Excuse me? Fine. You can be in charge. You fix the plane.
[Rico pulls out a pocket knife]
Alex
Who gives you the authority to put me in charge?
Skipper
OK, then I'll remain in charge.
Alex
Yeah. That's right. You will remain in charge.
Skipper
You and your hippie friends stay out of our hair.
Alex
Correcto-mundo. Because I decided to.
Skipper
Good for you.
Alex
Well, guess what? This discussion isn't over.
[He leaves]
Skipper
Higher mammals! You stay with us. We could use your front cortexes and opposable thumbs.
[Mason and Phil are still playing chess after the plane had crashed in Africa]
Mason
Phil! I should wash your hands out with soap.

A Quest for Water and Sacrifice
Gloria
Any water?!
Moto Moto
No, just more diamonds and gold.
Gloria
Okay. Don't give up hope.
King Julien
Listen up! I will help you! There's only one way to get your precious water. I, your beloved King Julien must simply make a small sacrifice to my good friends, the water gods, in the volcano!
Rhino
What does that do?
King Julien
What does that do? Excellent question. My sacrifice goes in the volcano. The friendly gods eat up my sacrifice. "Very nice. Thank you for the sacrifice." "Here, have another sacrifice." "No, I've had enough." " Listen I'm gonna insulted unless you have another." "I don't want another sacrifice okay?!" "Look at you! You look skinny!" "No! I've had enough! Is that clear?!" The gods eat the sacrifice. They are grateful. They give me some water, and then I give it to you.
Gloria
What?
Female Okapi
Does it work?
King Julien
No! I mean, yes. Well, Maurice?
Maurice
Ah, it's fifty-fifty.
All
We'll do it!
King Julien
Excellent! Now, all I need is someone who would like to go into the volcano and get eaten by gods. Any hands! Hands, anybody! Okay, I need someone, perhaps who has never found love, who could look death straight in the eyeball. A real, genuine hero.
Melman
I'll do it.
Gloria
Melman?
King Julien
Hurry up! Before we all come to our senses!
Gloria
Melman, what is wrong with you?
Melman
I'm dying anyway. If there's a chance it'll get you water, it'll be worth it.
Gloria
Are you nuts?
Melman
Gloria, I just want you to know, back at the zoo, it was never the doctors or prescriptions that kept me going. It was always you. Seeing you every day, that's what kept me going.
Gloria
Melman! Wait!

Ice-Cold Sushi for Breakfast
Moon Boy
ACK! Hey! Ooh, ahh! Ah, AUGH!

Animals Discuss Their Unexpected Arrival
Alex
How! How! Me Alex! Me and me friends fly, fly in great metal bird. Then plummet! Smash ground! Go boom! Then here we emerge. We offer only happiness and good greetings.
Hippo
Is he mentioning about a plane crash?
Alex
Yeah. We just... yeah. I thought... Sorry.
Stephen
You mean you came from off the reserve?
Alex
Yeah, way off. From the Central Park Zoo, actually.
Florrie
Don't strain yourself.
Zuba
What's going on here? What's all this hubbub?
Elephant
They say they're from off the reserve.
Zuba
That's impossible. Only people come from off the reserve.
Alex
You look familiar. Do I know you?
Zuba
How could you possibly survive the hunters?
Gloria
Hunters? We didn't see any hunters.
Zuba
What are you looking at?!
Alex
Me? Nothing.
Zuba
This watering hole doesn't need any more mouths to feed. So skedaddle back to wherever you came from.
Alex
Okay. Well, Is there a manager we could talk to?
Zuba
Oh, I see. You're here to challenge me!
Alex
What? No! No.
Zuba
Well, that's what it looks like to me!
Florrie
Zuba! Wait.
Zuba
I'm trying to take care of business...
Florrie
Yeah, yeah, Zuba. Hold on. Alakay? Is that you?
Alex
No, it's Alex. lx. Like New York Knicks.
Florrie
Zuba, look!
[Noticing the mark on Alex's paw]
Alex
Oh. I've always had that. The vet checked it out. It's kind of a beauty spot, really.
Zuba
A mark.
Alex
All right, this is a little weird.
Zuba
Honey, he's come home.
Alex
What?
Zuba
You've come home.
Alex
Whoa!
[realizes that he still has his mark since he was a cub]
Zuba
Son.
[realizing his son is still alive]
Alex
Dad. Mom and Dad? Mom and Dad! Mom and Dad! It's my mom and dad! I got a mom and dad!
Florrie
Our baby's alive!
Marty
Dad!
[mistakes Alex's father on being his father too]
Zuba
My son! My son is home!
Florrie
Alakay! Alakay has come home!
Makunga
Whoo!! Whoo! Alakay! Yeah! The prodigal son returns. This is perfect!
Teetsi
I thought you hated Zuba.
[yawns]
Makunga
No, I do. I do. I do. I hate him. Oh, I do. And I'm going to use Alakay, yes. I'm going to use him to get rid of Zuba once and for all!
King Julien
Giddy-up, feathered horse! Make way!
Maurice
Make way! Move out of the way! Stand aside!
King Julien
New York! Hmm... It's a bit of a dump. Are you sure we're not in New Jersey? Hello, New Yorkers! Your new king is here!
[Not realizing they are in Africa]
Zuba
This calls for a celebration!
King Julien
Maurice, I think they like me.
Maurice
You've got to love a non-hostile takeover!
Animals
Ooh! Ahh!! Chukka-chukka ahh!!
Julien
Chukka-chukka what?!?!
Animals
Chukka-chukka ahh!!
Julien
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!! (laughing)
Marty
Excuse me. I'm Marty. I'm kind of new around here.
Zebras
Hey, Marty!
Marty
You're a good-looking group! You like to run?
Zebras
Yeah. Running is crack-a-lackin'.
Marty
That's right! Crack-a-lackin'. You guys speak my crack-a-lackin language.
Melman
What? You don't have doctors here?
Stephen
Not anymore.
Melman
Well, what if you catch a cold?
Murray
We go over to the dying holes and we die.
Melman
Okay. You guys really need a doctor.
Stephen
Hey. We have an opening.
Murray
Would you be interested?
Melman
Me? A doctor?
Gloria
It's raining men. Hallelujah! You all got it going on.
Hippo
Why don't you have a man? You got worms?
Gloria
Oh, I got rid of those. Listen, girls. Manhattan is short on two things, parking and hippos.
Zuba
Hey, everybody! I just found out that my son here is a doggone king! The King of New York Show me some of your moves, son. Come on. Don't be bashful.
Alex
All right. This one always knocks em dead. Roar!
[confidently; does his zoo act]
Zuba
Look out. The King is mad. The King is mad! Now let's welcome him back into the pride with open arms!
Zebras
Welcome to the herd, Marty!
Marty
Me? I've always wanted to be part of a herd!- It's one for all...
Zebras
And all for all, y'all!
Maurice
All right!
Melman
How do I look?
Stephen
Technically, a traditional witch doctor has a bone through his nose.
Melman
Huh?
Murray
Don't worry, it's just a clip-on.
Stephen
Voilà! He's a witch doctor!
Melman
My mother will be so happy.
Girl Hippo
Look out! I think Moto Moto likes you.
Girl Hippo #2
Here he comes.
Moto Moto
Goodness, girl, you huge.
Gloria
Who's your friend? Or is that your butt?
Moto Moto
Girl, you as quick as you are hefty.
Gloria
So you're Moto Moto?
Moto Moto
The name's so nice, you say it twice.
Gloria
I kind of like it, fatso.
Moto Moto
I'll see you around, girl. It won't be hard, because you so... plumpy.
Alex
Oof!
Makunga
Oops! Um... I hate to be a party pooper, Zuba, but some of the other lions were wondering when you plan to banish your son.
[chuckles]
Zuba
What are you talking about Makunga?
Makunga
It's nothing, really. They're griping that Alakay never went through the rite of passage, blah, blah, blah, so technically speaking, he can't be a member of the pride. It's nonsense.
Zuba
I had forgot about the rite of passage.
Alex
What is it? What's this rite of passage?
Zuba
It's a traditional coming-of-age ceremony where young lions earn their manes by demonstrating their skills.
Alex
Sort of a show-of-skill talent show deal?
Zuba
Yeah. Strutting their stuff.
Alex
Great! A performance! I think that's up my alley, guys. If it's tradition, I want to do it. Strut my stuff. Earn my mane. I want to be Alakai.
Florrie
Alakay.
Alex
Alakay! Even better.
Zuba
We will hold the rite of passage in the morning!
Makunga
That's wonderful! Good luck, Alakay.
Alex
Where I'm from, we say, "Break a leg.
Zuba
That's my boy!
King Julien
Cause I'm a private dancer. A dancer for money. Any old music will do--
[singing; passes out]
Gloria
Beautiful, isn't it?
Melman
Yeah.
Marty
It's amazing.
Alex
Guys, this is where we belong.

Mort
King Julien, wait for me! I'm all packed! I have a whole itinerary planned!
King Julien
Oh, no! It's Mort! He's so annoying! Don't let him on. Stop that thing! He's carrying scissors and hand cream! Everybody in! Quickly, get in, get in! Get in quick!

In the event of a water emergency, place the vest over your head, and kiss your... ...goodbye.
[shows life vest; pulls on the red tab, causing the vest to inflate and explode]

New York City, here we come, baby!

...sit back, relax, pray to your personal god this hunk of junk flies.
Alex
Personal god. Hunk of what?
Kowalski
We are go, sir.
Mort
Open the door! I'm outside!
[screams]
Private
In case of a loss in cabin pressure, place the mask over your face... ...To hide your terrified expression from the other passengers.
[places oxygen mask over his face, muffling his voice]
Marty
Excuse me, miss, aren't these supposed to be attached to my seat?
[showing his detached seatbelt]
Private
No, sir.
[removes the mask]

Love and Uncertainty in a Playful Exchange
Moto Moto
She loves me She loves my eyes, She loves me She loves my thighs, She loves my roundness, She love that I'm chunky She love that I'm plumpy, She love my heftiness She love my zestiness She love me restlessly She love me forever She love me... ..'cause she love me
[singing]
Gloria
Moto Moto...before things get too serious, well, I was wondering, if I were to, for example, stay here... l'd like to ask you...
Moto Moto
Let your candied lips be the messengers to my... ear canal.
Gloria
Well I don't know. I have so many questions.
Moto Moto
Well I promise the answer will always be yes. Unless no is required.
Gloria
Okay. So what is it about me that you find so interesting?
Moto Moto
You're the most plumpenest girl I've ever met.
Gloria
OK. Other than that.
Moto Moto
Let's see. Yeah, well, you know... you chunky.
Gloria
Right.
Moto Moto
My gosh, girl, you huge.
Gloria
You said that.
Moto Moto
Yeah, that's right. We don't have to talk no more.
Melman
Gloria! Gloria.
Gloria
Melman. Melman, I want you to meet Moto Moto.
Melman
Moto Moto. Yeah, nice to meet you. Well I guess I...
Gloria
It's OK, Melman. Apology accepted.
Melman
Oh. Yeah, right, that. That's why I... Good. OK. Well, that's it, then.
Moto Moto
You're good. We're kind of busy here, man.
Melman
No. No, that's not it. Listen, Mototo, you better treat this lady like a queen. Because you, my friend, you found yourself the perfect woman. If I was ever so lucky to find the perfect woman, I'd would give her flowers every day. And not just any flowers. OK? Her favorites are orchids. White. And breakfast in bed. Six loaves of wheat toast, butter on both sides. No crust, the way she likes it. I'd be her shoulder to cry on and her best friend. I'd spend every day thinking of how to make her laugh. She has the most amazing laugh. That's what I would do if I were you. But I'm not, so you do it.
[pulls Moto Moto from Gloria]
Moto Moto
OK. What?
Hippo
That was beautiful.
Moto Moto
Anyways, where were we?
Gloria
I'm "huge"?

Encouragement Before a Dance Performance
Alex
Alright so, little cub scouts, just remember great dance performance comes from the heart. Comes straight from the heart, you'll never go wrong.
Cub
Sure, mister.
Makunga
Hey, Alakay, I just happened to walk by, I thought I'd wish you luck you're not nervous, are you?
Alex
Nah, it's my thing. You know It's kinda what I do.
Makunga
In my opinion, the key to this whole thing is choosing the right competitor.
Alex
Oh. You mean, this is like a dance battle sort of thing? Like a dance-off?
Makunga
Uh... Sure.
Alex
Great. I love that. Freestyle. Put your moves off. Who'd be a good match for me? You know just to keep things interesting.
Makunga
Well, I wish I could help, but that's strictly against our ancient tradition and all that we all we hold sacred. But if it was me out there... I'd choose Teetsi.
Alex
Teetsi. OK. Sounds interesting. Makunga, right? Thank you.
Makunga
Anything for Zuba's boy. Go get em, tiger.
Alex
Shake it out. A five, six, seven, eight. Let's go, let's do this.
Zuba
Let us begin the rite of passage ceremony.
Florrie
Come on, baby! Make Mama proud!
Zuba
Woman, I'm trying to take...
Alex
On it, Mom!
Zuba
So who will be the first participant?
Alex
Me! Oh! Me, me, me! Me! Me! Me! Me, me! Please, me?
Zuba
How about you? The tall, handsome one. Yeah. Choose your opponent.
Alex
Let me see. Hmm. Ah! I guess I'll pick...
Alex
Teetsi?
Florrie
Teetsi? Why did he pick Teetsi?
[shocked]
Zuba
Oh, that's my boy! He's got some gumption there! Somebody, wake him up! Wake him up.
Alex
All right, so, Teetsi, come on. Let's do this, huh? Come on, little tsetse fly. Let's see your stuff. Bring it.
Teetsi
Let's dance!
Alex
OK. But let me warn you that I am a protégé of....Fosse and Robbins!
Teetsi
Not "dance" dance! Fight!
Alex
Dance fight! You got it.
Florrie
Is he dancing?
Zuba
What is he doing?
Florrie
I know that boy is not dancing.
Makunga
This is even better than I thought.
[trying to hold his laugh]
Zuba
Alakay, turn around!
Alex
No, Pop, it's hop, shuffle, ball change, hip swish, turn around.
Zuba
Oh, no.
Florrie
Alakay! Are you hurt?
Alex
Oh. Yeah, I am. Did I, uh... did I win?
Zuba
Oh no, son. How could, I mean... How could this happen? You told us you were a king. And a king does not get beat.
Alex
Well, I am a king. I'm a... I'm the King of New York. It's... It's my stage name. I'm like, uh... you know, it's uh... for when I perform.
Zuba
Perform?
Makunga
Oh, no, this is horrible! Alakay has failed the test! Who would have ever imagined that today Zuba would have to banish... his own son?
[showing no regrets for his own actions; inhales sharply]
Florrie
Zuba, no.
Makunga
Zuba, yes. Sadly, the Alpha Lion must cast out all failures.
Zuba
Then I'm no longer the Alpha lion.
[looks to his son and thinks about the consequences of banishing his son and decides to resign his title; throws the staff]
Alex
Dad, what are you doing? Dad, no! You can't do this.
Makunga
Who could possibly take Zuba's place? Anyone? Someone? No one?
Random Lion
Hey!
Makunga
You, sir! I guess not. Well, I... This is all very awkward, but I suppose I could carry this tremendous burden.
[Accidentally hits another lion]
Zuba
Hmph.
Makunga
Teetsi! Get the hat.
Makunga
As your new leader, I hereby banish Alakay! He shall wear this hat of shame, and leave the watering hole for a thousand years, or life! Whichever comes last.

Medical Observations in Madagascar
Melman
Saw. Suture. Swab. You're in my light, Stephen.
Stephen
Ooh! Say, you've got a brown spot there on your shoulder.
Melman
Yes, that's very observant, Stephen. As you can see, I'm covered in brown spots. OK! That bone will be good as new in a few weeks.
Timo
So I don't have to pick out a dying hole?
Melman
No, Timo, you got your whole life ahead of you.
Timo
Really?
Melman
Go out there and grab it by the horns!
Timo
Thank you, Dr. Mankiewicz!
Melman
Break a leg! Sweet kid.
Stephen
Um... This spot looks like Witch Doctor's Disease.
[clears throat]
Melman
Witch Doctor's Disease? That's the most ridiculous disease I've ever heard of Stephen. Whoa!
[so]
Elephant
Don't ask.
Melman
Someone's been knotty. Okay. This won't hurt a bit.
[chuckles]
Murray
Joe, our last witch doctor. He had a spot just like that.
Melman
Mmm-hmm. And?
Murray
Monday, Joe. Wednesday, no Joe.
Melman
Wednesday, no Joe?
Elephant
Oh, I can breathe! Thanks, doc!
Melman
So, this Witch Doctor's Disease is a real thing?
Stephen
You'll find a cure. Hey! You've got at least 48 hours!
Melman
But I've never even heard of it. I mean... I don't have any penicillin. I'm gonna need a CAT scan just to get started!
Stephen
We'll have a lion look you over. They'd be happy to.

Seeking Approval in Uncertain Circumstances
Marty
Is this place starting to freak you out?
Alex
We'll slip in, find the problem. Hunters will never know we were here.
Marty
Why are we doing this?
Alex
Look. Marty, maybe my dad will think I'm... I just want to show him I'm a real lion.
Marty
As opposed to a chocolate lion.
Alex
Shh. I know this may sound hard to believe; but apparently, lions don't dance.
Marty
WHAT?!?
[shocked]
Alex
SHH!! As far as my dad is concerned.
Marty
As far as people are concerned, you're a huge hit.
Alex
That was New York. This is Africa. It’s a much tougher crowd. Marty! Marty, this is it! This is the clog! Come on.
Marty
Well, there's the water.
Alex
Marty, stay down. Look at that.
Nana
Knit one, purl two.
Alex
It's her.
Man
Is this right?
Nana
Very good.
Man
Nana, slow down.
Nana
You're a little tangled, aren't you? No, don't pull. I'll do it.
Alex
We need dynamite. Got any dynamite?
Marty
Oh, snap! I just used my last stick this morning!
[loudly]
Marty
Savages!
Alex
Evasive maneuvers!
Marty
Serpentine, serpentine!
Alex
Squiggly squid maneuver!
Marty
Zag, zig-zag, zig ziggy zag!
Alex
No, no! Squiggly squid!
Marty
Etch A Sketch! Etch A Sketch! Etch A Sketch!
Alex
That's too complex! Octopus, octopus!
Marty
Alex!
Alex
Run, Marty!
Marty
Come on, I can't leave you here!
Alex
Go get help! Squiggly squid maneuver! Go! Go! Squiggly squid!
Marty
ETCH A SKETCH!!! ETCH A SKETCH!!!

Lost in the Wilderness with Optimism
Cameraman
No sign of civilization. Everybody appears very tired. I think we're lost. Hey Nana, do you know where you're going?
Nana
No, but I'm going with a skip in my step and a smile on my face.
Cameraman
Sure, right, OK. Yeah, all right.
Man
Oh, It's people.
Man
Where did you come from?
Woman
How did you get out here?
Man #2
How did you get here?
Cameraman
Can you help us? We're lost.
Man
We're lost too.
Woman
It was awful. A flash of black and white and they were gone. They took the jeep!
Man
That happened to our jeep too!
Man #3
What do we do?
Man #4
How will we all survive?
Cameraman
We got nothing. No food, no water, no shelter. What are we gonna do?!
Nana
You can let nature get the best of you, or you can get the best of nature. Gather round, children. We're New Yorkers, right?
[whistles]
All
Yeah.
Nana
We survive the concrete jungle! When we need food, we hunt for a decent hot dog stand. Am I right?
Man
She's right.
Nana
When we need shelter, we build skyscrapers.
Man
Exactly!
Nana
When we need water, we build a dam.
Man
Come on, We're New Yorkers, for crying out loud!
Nana
If we can make it there, we can make it anywhere!
Mort
I'm coming, King Julien! Bad fishy! Bad fishy! No, shark, no! Sit! Why am I laughing?

Unexpected Discovery in Madagascar Adventure
Skipper
We'll go out for pineapple, my bobbly-headed boobily-boo.
Kowalski
Skipper, look.
Skipper
Analysis.
Kowalski
It looks like a small incandescent bulb, designed to indicate something out of the ordinary, like a malfunction.
Skipper
I find it pretty and somewhat hypnotic.
Kowalski
That too, sir.
Skipper
Right. Rico, manual! Problemo solved.
[catches the manual and promptly smashes the bulb with it]
Kowalski
Sir, we may be out of fuel.
Skipper
What makes you think that?
Kowalski
We've lost engine one. And engine two is no longer on fire.
[out the left window, engine #1 sputters out; out the right window, engine #2 stops smoking and sputters]
Skipper
Buckle up, boys. Don't look, doll, this might get hairy. Attention. This is your captain speaking. I've got good news and bad news. The good news is we'll be landing immediately. Bad news is... we're crash landing. When it comes to air travel, we know you have no choice whatsoever. But thanks again for choosing Air Penguin.
[covers "Doll's" eyes; on the intercom; the plane falls out of the sky; all, except the sleeping Gloria, and the chimps; Mason and Phil, start screaming]
King Julien
Raise your arms, Maurice! It's more fun when you raise arms like this! I can fly!
[laughing; everything in first class, including Julien and Maurice get sucked out of the plane; deploys a parachute]
Alex
This could be it, Marty! I just want you to know you are truly a one-in-a million friend!
Marty
Thanks, buddy! You're the best ever!
Alex
I know you won't mind when I tell you!
Marty
Come on! Tell me anything! Tell me what?!
Alex
I broke your iPod!
Marty
WHAT?!?
Alex
The buttons were so small! It made me mad!
Marty
Oh, no! The horror!!!
Alex
I'm sorry!
Marty
I'm gonna kill you, butt-bitter!! Butt-bitter!! Butt-bitter!!
Alex
It was an accident! An accident! I'm sorry! I'll get you a new one!
Melman
I love you, Gloria! I always have! Like... Like you love the beach. Or a good book. Or the beach.
[Gloria is snoring, Alex, Marty, Mason, and Phil glare at Melman quizzically; sighs; stammering]
Skipper
My goodness, Doll, you're shaking like a leaf. Rico! You've had your fun. Pull up. Gear down. Gently now. You just want to kiss the ground. Just a little peck. A smooch. Like you're kissing your sister. I said kiss it!!! Now just a little brake. Just a touch. A little whisper.
[Rico pulls up; Kowalski pulls a lever that deploys the landing gear; the landing gear breaks; the wings, engines, and the hull of the plane break off]
Mason
I believe that's checkmate.
[while playing chess with Phil]
Skipper
Commence emergency landing procedure! Flaps up! Deploy!

Zebras
Ta-da!
Marty
How did you...? You guys got it right out of the box!
Zebra
If you can do it, we can do it.

Maurice

Yes, thank you. It's my plane! Until I return with the spoils from the new country... Stevie will be in charge!
[holds Stevie the Gecko in his hand]

I don't think they like that idea so much, Julien.
King Julien
What is that you saying, Stevie? No. Could we? No, you didn't say that! How is that even possible? Naughty little thing! Stevie says... Let them eat cake!
[Gasps; gibberish language of what is Stevie saying]

Unexpected Reunion in Madagascar
Melman
OK. OK, OK, OK. OK, here we go. OK, OK. Here we go! Here we go!
Joe
What's all the hoopla about?
Stephen
Joe?
Murray
Joe the Witch Doctor? We thought you were dead!
Joe
So did I. Then I realized I'm covered in brown spots.
Stephen
So, Melman's not dying! Melman's not dying!
[suddenly realizing the truth]
Murray
Oh, no!
Gloria
Excuse me! Melman!! Move! Don't do this! Julien, stop this! This is crazy!
King Julien
Oh, suddenly throwing a giraffe into a volcano to make water is crazy!
Gloria
Yes! Please, Melman! STOOOP!!!!
Melman
Gloria?
Gloria
You can't do this!
Melman
Why not?
Gloria
Because...Oh!
Gloria
You can't do this, Melman.
Melman
First of all, that hurts. Second of all, I've only got 18 hours to live, anyway.
Gloria
Melman, I gotta know...did you really mean those things you said about me?
Melman
Of course I did.
Gloria
That's crazy.
Melman
It is?
Gloria
It's crazy to think I had to go halfway around the world... to find out that the perfect guy for me lived right next door.
Melman
Then I guess it's you and me, neighbor. You and me for the next 18 hours.
Gloria
I'll take whatever you got.
Julien
Maurice, what just happened?!
Maurice
I believe the fat lady has sung.
Marty
Hey! What's going on here?
Gloria
Marty!
Marty
Hey. Hey. Listen up. Alex is in big trouble! We got to get upriver fast!
Melman
What about the plane?
Marty
Perfect! Come on!

Nana

Struggles of Identity and Expectations
Skipper
Looks impressive, Kowalski, but... will it fly?
Kowalski
Yes. If we fold it here, here and here.
Skipper
Nice.
Alex
Oh, man. My dad thinks I'm a total loser. I've ruined my parents lives.
Zebra
That is definitely not crack-a-lacking.
Alex
It is lackin in the crackin', my friend. I've gotta fix this.
Melman
So....there's... There's something I gotta tell you.
Gloria
Hey, guys. Is this place great or what?!
Alex
I'd go with "or what.
Gloria
Oh Well, I'll tell you what. You're not gonna believe it, but... Ha! I got a date with Moto Moto.
[chuckles]
Melman
Who's Moto Moto?
Gloria
Oh, he's so big and handsome and big! You know what "Moto Moto" means?
Melman
Twins?
Zebra
It means, "Hot Hot.
Melman
Hot Hot"?
Gloria
OK. When did you start parlez-ing African?
Zebra
It's in my blood.
Melman
Don't worry, you can flirt around with Mr. Hot Pants after I'm gone.
Gloria
What's the deal Melman? Why am I the parade and you're the rain?
Melman
Why do you have to drive your parade under my rain?
Gloria
Maybe I'll just parade myself in another part of town!
Alex
Whoa, guys. Guys!
Melman
Fine by me by the way. Main Street's mine!
Gloria
Well, you can have your old stinking main street!
Melman
And you can take your hotee-tot float and your Mr. Hotee Moto Moto...
Zebra
What are we talking about?
Alex
Melman, why don't you just tell her?
Melman
You tell her?! What? Tell her? What are you talking... I don't know what you're talking about.
Gloria
So I guess I'll go, then.
Melman
You know what? Don't bother.
Gloria
Well, don't get up on my account.
Alex
Melman! Gloria!
Zebra
Hey! I-I thought you guys were friends!
Alex
Come on guys. Marty's absolutely right.
Zebra
Marty?
Marty
Marty?
Alex
Marty?
Marty
What the heck is going on?
Alex
You're not? Oh! He was... No! I thought he... You're not him. He's... Oh.
Marty
You thought that guy...was me?
Alex
No, no! No! I mean, yes! Yes, you do... Guys, come on.
Zebra
You thought I was him?
Alex
You guys kind of do look a little... You look a lot alike. Marty, you look a lot alike. Come on! You laugh alike. You talk alike. He has the same sort of speech pattern. I mean, it's a little weird, really. You guys are... I mean, come on. Marty.
Marty
So, you're saying there's nothing unique about me. I'm just like any other zebra.
Alex
No. Of course you're different!
Both
How?
Alex
Okay! OK, I can't tell you apart. Maybe you could wear a bell or something? I don't know.
Marty
A bell?
Alex
OK, not a bell. No, bell's a bad idea.
Marty
No, no, no! How about a T-shirt that says, "I'm with stupid?!
Zebra
I'm not stupid.
Marty
Not you, stupid! Him, stupid!
Alex
You know what? While you've been off doing the prancing pony with your new posse, I've been having pretty much the worst day of my life. Okay?
Marty
It's always about you, isn't it?
[sighs]
Alex
My problems are just a little bit bigger than yours, Marty. Alright, I couldn't tell you apart. So what?! Yeah, fine. Run away, Marty! Run away! That's what you do best! Just like back in New York!
[sees one of the two zebras leaving]
Marty
I'm right here. But you can't tell that, right?
Marty
Your one-of-a-million friend hopes you enjoy your bigger-than-anyone-else's problems alone!
Alex
Good! Leave! I don't need you to help solve my problems! You know what, you're a dime a dozen, I can't tell which one's Marty! Oh, which one's Marty? Wait a minute, wait a minute, oh, yeah! I don't care!
Zebra
Nice hat, you showoff!
Alex
Marty.....don't go.

Revisiting Memories of Childhood Sleep Spots
Florrie
Easy now.
Zuba
Watch your step. And right here... OK, are you ready? This is where you always slept.
Alex
Oh, man! Wow. Was this mine?
Zuba
Look at you. Look at him.
Alex
Oh, this thing. Look, look! I remember this!
Zuba
He remembers.
Alex
A little harder than...
Zuba
You never slept on the right end. You always slept on the bottom end.
Alex
Is that? Is that my? Is that me?
Florrie
You had the cutest little paws.
Zuba
Little, little bitty ol paws.
Florrie
You did that the day we lost you.
Alex
Wow. I was so young. What happened to me?
Zuba
It was all my fault. I turned my back a minute and...
Florrie
It was not your fault. Your father did everything he could. He tracked those hunters for weeks. Far off the reserve.
Zuba
Finally, I had to assume the hunters....well...
Florrie
We thought they'd killed you.
Zuba
But my son fought them off! Don't mess with the King of New York!
Alex
That's right!
Zuba
Keep your chin in.
Florrie
Alright. You boys be careful! Now watch out before you break something. You used to call this "foofie.
Alex
Foofie"? Foofie.
Zuba
He doesn't want that.
Alex
This is my foofie!
Florrie
Zuba, you better give him his foofie.
Alex
I mean, no, thank you, thank you. It's perfect.
Zuba
Son, you get your rest. You have a big day tomorrow. You'll gonna need all your strength.
Alex
I will bring the house down for you, Dad.
Florrie
I hope so. Otherwise, your father will have to banish you.
Alex
Jeez, Mom, really?
Zuba
I know you'll do us proud. You know why? You were born with it. Good night, Alakay. My boy. My own boy. My son's a king. My son's a king.
Alex
Good night, Mom.
Florrie
Good night, Alakay.
Alex
Foofie. Look at foofie! My foofie! Foofie, foofie, foofie. My foofie!

Expectations of Fatherhood and Growth
Zuba
No, no, son. Over here. See the lion? Look at the lion and get the lion! Now, son, if you're gonna grow up and be like your daddy someday, you gotta learn how to fight.
[Sighs and grunts]
Baby Alex
Da-da.
Zuba
Now, Alakay, let me show you something. OK? You see this mark? You and me are the same. When you're bigger, you'll wanna be an Alpha Lion, just like your daddy. Now let me see you fight. Ready? No, Alakay. No dancing! You just amuse yourself, don't you? You're a strange kid. You're a strange one. I'm... Now, come on, let's try it again. No, Alakay. Stop that-- Stop that right now. Doggone it!
[chuckles; Baby Alex growls; But Baby Alex dances again; Laughing as Baby Alex uses his hand move up and down of his faces]
Makunga
It's so disappointing when they don't grow up the way you want.
Zuba
Makunga! You're not challenging me again, are you?
[annoyed]
Makunga
Look on the bright side, Zuba. After I defeat you and take your place as Alpha Lion, you need to have so much more time to spend with your pathetic excuse of a son.
Zuba
Before I kick your butt, let me ask you something: Why do you even want to become the Alpha Lion?
Makunga
I'm better looking, I have better hair, I'm deceitfully smart... and I want everyone to do what I say. We'll fight on three. One...
Zuba
Pay attention, Alakay. Daddy will show you how it's done.
Makunga
...two, three!
[as the two lions fight, baby Alex chases after a butterfly, then sees a long rope and chases after it too]
Zuba
Who's the Alpha Lion?
[after the fight]
Makunga
You are.
Zuba
Don't you forget it. And that, Alakay, is how you attack... Alakay?
[sees his son missing]

Fatherly Advice and Expectations in Conflict
Zuba
Come on! Shoo, shoo! Get out of here! You should have told us, son. You should have told us that you weren't a real king!
[shooing the antelope; to Alex]
Alex
You never told me I'd have to fight anybody!
Zuba
What did you expect, son?!
Alex
I don't know! Maybe a little fatherly advice like, "Hey, son, it's a fight!
Zuba
You're a lion aren't you?
Alex
But I never fought another lion!
Zuba
No, I guess not. You dance!
Alex
And other stuff! The point is your pal, Makunga, set me up back there! I mean, none of this would have happened...
Zuba
If you were a real lion.
Florrie
ZUBA!!
[scolding Zuba]
Zuba
Yeah, I said it!
Alex
A real lion. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

The King of New York City... Alex the Lion!

Florrie
You going to mope around like this all day?
Zuba
Hmph.
Florrie
Don't "hmph" me. Listen, Zuba. A miracle happened. Our son has come back to us. How come that is not good enough for you?
Zuba
What are you saying, woman?
Florrie
We lost him once, Zuba. Let's not lose him again.

Zuba! Zuba!
Zuba
Get out of here!
Florrie
What do you want, Makunga?
Makunga
It's awful. The watering hole is dried up.
Zuba
DRIED UP?! That's impossible!!
[growls]
Makunga
There's nothing left!
Zuba
Well! You're alpha lion, Makunga. What are you gonna do about it?
Makunga
Your son, Alakay, he said he could fix it. He's gone upriver.
Zuba
Off The Reserve?!
Florrie
No!
Makunga
I tried to stop him! I told him it was suicide, but he was determined to prove himself to you!
Zuba
You stay here, in case he comes back!
Makunga
Hurry, Zuba! I'm so parched.

Zebra
Where'd you get the fruity hat?
Alex
Excuse me! Excuse me! Hi. Is Marty in there?
Zebras
Marty? Anyone seen Marty? Which one of us is Marty?
Alex
All right. Well, if you see him, tell him his friend Alex came to say goodbye.
Zebra
Goodbye? Don't go. Where are you going Can we come?
Alex
No. This is something I have to do this alone.
Zebras
You can't leave the reserve! What are you doing? They'll get your hat. Hunters are everywhere! Could you leave the hat?
Alex
Marty, Look! I know you're in there. Before I go, I got something I want to say. You've been a great friend. You've helped me so often to see the bright side of my problems that I never think of you is having any. I wasn't there for you when you needed me. Just like back at the zoo. What kind of friend does that make me? A pretty lousy friend, I guess. Well I just want you to know that I... You're one in a million.
Zebra
This is touching.
Zebra
It is touching.
Alex
So could you turn around so I can tell you to your face? That's right. Gotcha! I see you in there! Yeah, you. You, right there. Twelfth row, two hundred and third from the left. That's you, Marty. I know it's you. Know what makes you special? These guys are white with black stripes. You're black with white stripes. You're a dreamer, Marty. Always have been. You have great taste in music and horrible taste in friends. Well, not Melman and Gloria, but me.
Marty
OK, I'm in.
Alex
No, Marty. You can't come with me.
Marty
I don't believe you have a choice.
Zebras
People are out there! You're crazy! Come back! The people will get you! Don't lose the hat! Bye, hat!

Planning a Summer Palace in Madagascar
Julien
Giddy-up, giddy-up! Look, Maurice! Here's the perfect spot for my summer palace! So please fill in all these holes and relocate the riff-raff. Oh. Who'd leave a perfectly good head?
Maurice
What a waste.
Melman
Tell me about it. I'm in my prime here. I'm terminal, you know? I probably only have another two days left to live.
Maurice
That's a bummer, man.
King Julien
If I, King Julien... that's my name....only had two days left to live, I would do all the things I've ever dreamed of doing.
Melman
Like what?
King Julien
I'd love to become a professional whistler. I'm pretty amazing at it now, but I want to get even better, make my living out of it. You know what else I would do? I would invade a neighboring country and impose my own ideology, even if they didn't want it!
[raspberries]
Melman
Easy for you to say. You're a king.
King Julien
Yes. And you are only just a sad little head. There must be something you want to do before you die!
Melman
Well, there is this one thing.
Julien
What? Tell me.
Melman
No, I couldn't.
Julien
What is it?
Melman
You know, I never told Gloria how I feel about her.
Julien
What is it? Please tell me!
Melman
I never had the guts to tell Gloria how I feel about her. How I've always felt about her.
Julien
Fine. Don't tell me! Oh...Is it a woman? You didn't tell me it's a woman.
Maurice
What are you afraid of? You're a dead man anyway.
Melman
Yeah. Yeah. You're right.
Julien
Well, you've got to march right up to this woman. Look her right in the eye. Lean forward. Just a little, or almost all the way. Then you let her lean forward a little until you're....just lips distance away from each other. Then you tell her how much you hate her.
Melman
Actually, it's more like love her.
Julien
Oh, you sly dog! Woof, woof! You're a real player. Now listen to me. You got to rise up. You hearing me?
Maurice
He didn't hear you.
Julien
I can't hear you!
Melman
Yeah.
Julien
Good. You got to rise up!
Maurice
Rising up!
Julien
You're gonna get out of the hole!
Melman
I'm rising out of the ground!
Julien
He's rising, Maurice.
Melman
I'm rising, Maurice!
Maurice
Rising!
Julien
You go right up to this woman!
Maurice
Do you feel it?
Julien
Go up to her face!
Maurice
Tell the truth!
Melman
I'm going to tell her!
Julien
And then you say, "Baby, I dig you!" Yeah!
Melman
Yeah! I'm going to do it! I'm going to do it!
Julian
I love that happy little head.

Confrontation and Consequences Among Friends
Alex
Surprised to see me, Makunga? Well, I'm here to set things straight, like a real lion! Is this real enough for you? How about this? This is for setting me up! This is for stealing my dad's job! This is for humiliating my family! AND MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL!
Alex
Had enough? Sure, fly away! Coward.
Stephen
The water, it's gone.
Murray
Oh, no.
Hippo
The watering hole has never gone dried before!
Murray
We're gonna need a lot more dying holes.
Bobby
How could this happen?
Makunga
Out of my way! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!
[enters]
Bobby
The watering hole's dried up! There's barely enough water for one of us!
Makunga
Yes. Good observation, Shirley.
Bobby
I'm Bobby.
Murray
Makunga, what do we do?
Makunga
QUIET!!! Listen up! I'm afraid there is only one solution to this horrible crisis: We'll all have to fight for it.
Hippo
Fight for it? We can't fight for it.
Cape Buffalo
This is crazy.
Bobby
That's not fair. You'd win!
Makunga
Exactly, Shirley.
Bobby
I'm Bob--
[Makunga kicks him away]
Makunga
Sorry, folks, but life isn't fair. I'm in charge now, thanks to Alakay, the dancing lion.
Timo
Please, Makunga. This is the only water on the reserve.
Makunga
If you're thirsty, you'll have to look for water off the reserve.
Alex
I left the reserve! And survived. I can do something about this. Looks like a clogged pipe. Like we get in New York all the time. I'll just travel upriver...
Makunga
You?
[laughing]
Alex
Yeah! Me! I'll unclog the pipe and bring back your water.
Makunga
Great! I'd help you pack; but the looks of that hat, I see you're all set!
[laughing]
Alex
Yeah. Fine. Go ahead. Laugh! Laugh your mane off! I'm gonna prove you wrong.
[turns to leave]
Makunga
Maybe you should try a little rain dance.
[watches Alex leave; scatting and laughing]
Stephen
Zuba would know what to do.
Murray
Where's Zuba?!
Elephant
You don't care about us!
Hippo
Zuba should be in charge, not you!
Makunga
ALL RIGHT!! FINE! As an added measure, I will consult with Zuba!

Skipper
How slightly?

Six to nine years.
Skipper
Sixty-nine years?
Kowalski
No, six to nine years.
Skipper
Private, what happened to our thumbs?
[on the intercom]
Private
Haven't seen them since yesterday, sir. Darn you, Darwin!
[drops his screwdriver; the car's hood closes on him]
Skipper
Nobody goes AWOL on my watch. Private! You're coming with me! Rico! You're coming with me! We'll track them down and bring them in for court martial.
[the inside of the front of the car explodes; Rico welds a car in half]
Mason
That won't be necessary, we've recruited a few extra thumbs for you, Skipper.
[camera pans to a whole lot of chimpanzees]
Skipper
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle.
Mason
Oh, I doubt that.
[chimpanzees screeching]
Skipper
Enough lollygagging. Now let's get to work. We'll divide into three groups. Group Alpha, you're in charge of sheet metal fabrication. Group Bronson, you'll handle assembly. Group George Peppard, you'll handle craft services. Any questions? Good, now let's get to work.
[on the intercom; Mason tries to say something]

You got Madagascar on the brain.
Gloria
I know I'm gonna miss it.
Alex
It was incredible. Yeah, I think it'll seem more fun the further we are from it.
Marty
Like when you bit me on the butt?
Alex
I'm gonna take that thing you're holding onto and use it onstage.
Marty
Oh, really?
Alex
It's all part of my little actor's salad bar of emotional tidbits.
Marty
Are the butts next to the croutons at the salad bar?
Alex
You don't need to be sarcastic, Marty.
Gloria
Hey guys, you know. I was thinking. When we get back, I might sign up for the breeding program.
Melman
Breeding program?

Melman
Is that Vivaldi?
Julien
Hey, in-flight slave.
Private
Can I help you, Mr. Mankiewicz?

Bring me my nuts on a silver platter.

We just wanted to check in on the drinks we ordered.
Private
Oh, sorry. Been a little backed up.
Melman
I guess I'll go back..
Julien
Hey, what happened to your body? You're freaking me out! Can you please go over there, please? Thank you very much. What ever happened to the separation of the classes?
Maurice
Ah, I'm sure this democracy thing is just a fad.
