Penguins of Madagascar

Team Success and Celebration

Skipper Kowalski, analysis?

Kowalski We are really... awesome at this!

Skipper Boys, we did it! Mission accomplished! Hey, we can do our thing! High one!

Skipper Ooh. My bad.

Rico Uh-oh!

Skipper Look, it's... it's the miracle of birth.

Kowalski A moment of extraordinary beauty.

Skipper Daaagh! That is disgusting! I think I have amniotic sac in my mouth!

Private Hello. Are you my family?

Kowalski You don't have a family, and we're all going to die. Sorry.

[Before Skipper can say anything]

Private Wh-Wha...?

[concerned]

Kowalski What? I-I thought that was what we were all nodding about.

Skipper No one's gonna die! You know what you've got, kid? You've got us. We've got each other, and if that ain't a family, I don't know what is.

[hits Kowalski again; to Private]

Skipper So adorable. Kowalski, what's our trajectory?

Kowalski 95 percent certain we're still doomed.

Skipper And the, uh... other five percent?

Kowalski Adventuring and glory like no penguins have ever seen before.

Skipper I'll take that action.

Private Where are we going?

Skipper The future, boys. Glorious future!

Confrontation Over the Medusa Serum

Kowalski Dave!

Dave Greetings, North Wind! I see you've met my old zoo-mates.

Skipper We were never mates. There was no mating.

Classified Turn yourself in, David. You're powerless now that I've stolen your precious Medusa Serum.

[Shows him the small vial stolen by the penguins]

Skipper What, you? You didn't steal that!

Classified It's over.

Dave It's over? Then why did I call you? Weird. Oh, maybe it was to show you this!

[turns the camera to show them a giant vial containing the serum as two octopuses behold it. Everyone gasps with shock]

Kowalski That is a lot of serum for four penguins.

Dave Oh, you thought this was just about you four? No. No, no, no, no. We're just getting started. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go do some shopping… for revenge!

[takes a selfie; presses a button to turn off the screen, but nothing happens. He presses it again, but nothing still happens]

Skipper You low-down, dirty, mangy, FILTHY, flea-bitten, bum-sniffing, TOILET DRINKER! But... good.

[after finding out that Classified had put homing devices on them; slight pause]

Classified You see? I told you. You should've left this to the professionals.

A Humorous Take on Appearance and Perception

Private So, how do I look?

[after the sides effects from the ray, he is tinted pink and has grown antlers]

Kowalski You're hideously disfigured and will probably be hunted for sport.

Private Wh-Wha...?

[concerned]

Kowalski What?

Skipper If there's anything we've learned from this delightful adventure, Kowalski, it's that looks don’t matter. It’s what you do that counts. And look at what you did. Yes, sir. You are the most meaningful and valued member of this team.

[The penguins from different countries look at the penguins, baby penguins pop out from behind parent penguins; as saluting Private, he salutes back. Kowalski and Rico salute as well. Skipper does his brother's salute by crossing his eyes and sticking out his tongue. Private does the same and laughs. All the penguins and the North Wind cheer for Private.]

The Challenge of Reversing the Ray

Skipper You stole Dave's ray?

Private Yes, well, I figured if we could reverse the ray, we can turn everyone back to normal.

Skipper Reverse the ray?

Kowalski That’s brilliant, but... it's impossible! In order to reverse the ray, we would need to replace the Medusa Serum with a power source of almost immeasurable cuteness!

Skipper Immeasurable cuteness? Where the heck are we supposed to get that? Wait. Private, no! We don’t know what that’ll do to you! No!

Kowalski The ray! It works! It WORKS!

Skipper Private, are you okay?

Private Yes!

Kowalski Whoa-oh! Butt-hand! There's a hand attached to his butt. That was not... that was not there before.

Skipper Get out of there. That's an order!

Private Permission to defy order.

[salutes]

Skipper Permission denied!

Private Then I deny your denial.

Skipper It's too risky, Private! It already made you sprout a butt-hand!

Private I know it has to be me this time. And I think you know it, too. I'm the secret weapon!

[places his butt-hand on the glass; Concerned about Private's sacrifice, Skipper places his flipper on the same place where Private placed his butt-hand. They exchange smiles before Private reattaches himself to the ray using his butt-hand]

Teamwork and Recognition in Action

Corporal Supper. Well, done, Private!

Eva Good work, malinka.

Classified Yes. Yes. Excellent button-pushing. Complement, praise, etcetera. All right agents, we are back in business.

[Private is delighted, yet the North Wind runs in the opposite direction]

Private Wait! Skipper, Kowalski, Rico... all those penguins... they're this way!

Classified So is a massive army of octopi. And as soon as we return to the North Wind Headquarters, grab fresh equipment and work up a smashing new plan we'll come speeding back, and take down Dave.

Private But the penguins are in danger! We have to go now!

Classified Again, "huge army of octopi.

Private So because you failed once, you're just running away?

Classified We did not fail, and we are not running away. We're just, very sensibly regrouping.

Private Skipper wouldn't care! Plan or no, fancy equipment or no. He'd never leave a man behind.

Classified Well I suppose we can't all be penguins can we?

[North Wind turns to leave]

Private ... No. But maybe you should be.

[North Wind look back; Private goes on his own]

Assessing the Probability of Disaster

Kowalski Yeah!

Skipper Kowalski! What's our trajectory?

Kowalski 95% certain this will end in massive, flaming disaster!

Skipper And the other five percent?

Kowalski Irrelevant, sir! Jet packs are awesome!

Skipper Agreed!

Private Who says penguins can't fly?

Skipper Yee-haw! Boo-yah!

Eva All for penguin plan? All for North Wind plan?

[Kowalski and Rico raise their hands; The North Wind votes, as well as Skipper]

Skipper His... his is better.

Kowalski What?

Skipper I'm sorry, boys, but I can't lead you this time.

Kowalski But... we're a team, and... and you're our skipper, Skipper. We don't... we don't need these guys.

Skipper No, Kowalski, but Private does. I think... it's time we leave it to the professionals.

Penguins of Madagascar

Marching Penguins and Their Playful Nature

Documentary filmmaker ], an inhospitable wasteland. But even here, on the Earth's frozen bottom, we find life. And not just any life… penguins. Joyous, frolicking, waddling, cute and cuddly life. Look at them, tumbling onto their chubby bum-bums. Who could take these frisky snow-clowns...

[first lines; narrating; [w:Antarctica|Antarctica; The wind blows away the snow, revealing an egg and it rolls down the hill]

Skipper Seriously? Does anyone even know where we're marching to?

[interrupting the narration]

Penguin #1 Who cares?

Penguin #2 I question nothing.

Penguin #3 and #4 Me, too.

Skipper Well, fine. We'll just fly to the front of the line and see for ourselves. Kowalski, Rico, engage aerial surveillance.

Kowalski Skipper, we appear to be flightless.

Skipper Oh, well, what's the point of these?

[looks at his wings]

Skipper Whoa, I like it! Hey, this could be our thing! What're we gonna call it? Let's call it the, uh... high one.

Skipper Hey, anybody see that? That's an egg! Is somebody gonna go get it?

Penguin #5 We can't do that.

Skipper Why not?

Penguin #6 Well, it's a dangerous world out there and we're just penguins. You know, nothing but cute and cuddly.

Penguin #7 Yeah. Why do you think there are always documentary crews filming us?

Penguin #8 Well, sorry, kid. You know, we lose a few eggs every year. It's just nature.

Skipper Oh, right, nature. I guess that makes sense, but something... something deep down in my gut tells me that it just doesn't make any sense at all. You know what? I reject nature!

Skipper Who's with me?

Dave And my precious souvenir snow globe collection.

Dave Ah! What is wrong with you?!

Skipper Oh, Daryl, you can't blame us for what happened to you.

Skipper Classified, eh? What is that, uh, Dutch? I can't really hear the accent.

Classified Excuse me?

Skipper There's the accent.

Skipper Who are you?

Dr. Brine The humans know me as Dr. Octavius Brine - renowned geneticist, cheese enthusiast, and frequent donor to NPR pledge drives… but you know me by a different, much older name. A name perhaps you hope you'd never hear again. A phantom! A shadow of a former life! I... am...

Kowalski He thinks we can't save the penguins because we're just "penguins".

Skipper Well, penguins are our flesh and feathers! They're us. And if anyone's gonna save us, it's us.

Kowalski But, Skipper, we've gotta be five miles up. That pretty much limits our options.
