Dialogue

[edit]
Look at all the zebras, like me!
I think it’s Africa.
[First lines during the DreamWorks Animation logo.]
Moon Boy: [suddenly, Skipper slaps] ACK!! [the penguins pull and start attacking him off-screen] Hey! Ooh! AHH! AH!! [glacier glass breaking is heard] AAUUGGHH!!!
[The Penguins enter and grab Moon Boy's fishing rod, catch a fish.]
Skipper: Well done, boys. Looks like ice-cold sushi for breakfast. [They all give high-fives, the film begins.]
[A long time ago in Africa during the 80's or 90's, a male adult lion king named Zuba was playing with his infant son Alakay (known as Alex), who is going to dance as Zuba tries to teach Alakay how to fight with a maraca that looks like a lion as a dummy.]
Zuba: No, no, son. Over here. See the lion? Look at the lion and get the lion! [Sighs and grunts] Now, son, if you're gonna grow up and be like your daddy someday, you gotta learn how to fight.
Baby Alex: Da-da.
Zuba: [chuckles] 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. [Baby Alex growls] Ready? [But Baby Alex dances again] No, Alakay. No dancing! You just amuse yourself, don't you? You're a strange kid. You're a strange one. I'm... [Laughing as Baby Alex uses his hand to move up and down on his face] Now, come on, let's try it again. No, Alakay. Stop that-- Stop that right now. Doggone it!
[Makunga encounters Zuba in a flashback]
Makunga: It's so disappointing when they don't grow up the way you want.
Zuba: [annoyed] Makunga! You're not challenging me again, are you?
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: [after the fight] Who's the Alpha Lion?
Makunga: You are.
Zuba: Don't you forget it. And that, Alakay, is how you attack... [sees his son missing] Alakay?
[On the signs of "No Hunting", Baby Alex finally gets the rope as he sees some hunters]
Hunter #1: That's it. Here, kitty, kitty.
Hunter #2: [Using his gun cock, but decides to cease fire] Ah! This one's a beauty. He'll be worth a few bucks.
Hunter #1: It just gets easier and easier. [Chuckles evilly]
[The hunters put Baby Alex into a crate]
Baby Alex: [Whimpering] Daddy!!
Zuba: Alakay! Alakay!! ALAKAY!!!!!!
[Zuba sees a crate and notices that Baby Alex is inside it]
Baby Alex: Da-da!
Zuba: No! No! No! Alakay!
[Zuba ran on all fours chasing after the truck. He leapt onto the truck and tried to free his son.]
Baby Alex: Daddy!
Zuba: Alakay! Daddy's got you! Hold on!
[When Zuba unleashes the ropes to free his son, the hunter shoots him by his ear, bleeding]
Baby Alex: Da-da! [Whimpers] Ow! Ow!
[And when the truck turns around the corner, the crate fell off the truck, and Baby Alex inside the crate fell for the first time. The crate fell into the river. Zuba gets up as he clutches his ear, and then he continues chasing after the truck, thinking that Alakay is still on there.]
Zuba: ALAKAY!!!!!!
Baby Alex: Daddy!
[Will.I.Am "The Traveling Song" as the title card appears; open breaks the top of the crate when Baby Alex sees while holding a fish; take a snapshot off-screen of the newspaper; put on the rock and dancing, and the crowd applauds.]
Baby Marty: [jealous] I don't like the looks of this guy.
Baby Gloria Well, I think he's kind of cute.
Baby Marty I think he's kind of a showoff.
Baby Melman: Y-You think he's cute? [Coughs]
Kid: WOW!
[Baby Alex keeps dancing on the rock to the people and leaps!]
All: Whoa!!!
[And when Baby Alex prepares a land, many years later, he became all grown up and becomes a super big star!]
Alex: ROOOOAAARRR!!!!!
[Crowd cheers wildly as they hold up]
Announcer: The King of New York City... Alex the Lion!
Marty: Woo-hoo! I still think he's kind of a showoff.
Melman: You gotta give it to him. The guy's an animal.
Marty: Maybe he should take a break. You know, we could all use a vacation.
Gloria: Come on, where on Earth would we go on vacation?
Marty: I don't know about you, but I want to go to Connecticut.
[The scene changes to the news events of the incident in grand central station from first film]
News Anchor Woman #1: On the loose, several animals including the world famous Alex the Lion the king of New York, escaped from the Central Park Zoo tonight. The escapees were finally cornered in Grand Central Station.
[Nana was being interviewed by the public.]
Nana: He was a very bad kitty.
[The scene shows of taking the escaped animals from the crates on the freighter of going to Kenya before the Penguins infiltrate it of going to Antarctica, with it being a deleted scene of where the they put the escaped animals on the boat being seen.]
News Anchor Woman #2: Animal rights activists, who convinced zoo officials to have the escaped animals sent to Africa, were stunned to learn that the shipping freighter carrying the animals was reported missing today.
[The scene shows some New Yorkers mourning the loss of Alex at nightfall.]
News Anchor Man: Tonight, hundreds of New Yorkers have gathered at the Central Park Zoo to mourn the loss of their beloved zoo animals. The question on everyone's mind-- where are they now?
[And in the meantime back at the present day in Madagascar, Alex and his gang are dancing to the beat from the elevator of preparing a blast off to their home of New York by an Airplane of Air Penguin]
Alex: I like to move it, move it
Gloria: He likes to move it, move it
Marty: She likes to move it, move it
Melman: We like to
Lemur Crowd: Move it!
Marty: Come on! Y'all know this one! It never gets stale!
Melman: We like to
Lemur Crowd: Move it!
Alex: We'll miss you little fuzz buckets! You've been a great crowd!
Melman: Glad we could introduce you to the toilet.
Alex: If you ever come look us up in Manhattan, feel free to call first. [watches as what two lemurs are doing] Seriously though, call. OK?
Maurice: Settle down, everybody. Shh! Be quiet! [as everyone quiets down, Maurice comes with a cake] You can't leave without this!
[King Julien pops out of the cake, King Julien Moves It is being played in the background]
King Julien: Hey! Surprise, freaks! Shake it! Shake it. [Laughing] Look, I'm a lady! I'm a lady, everyone! I'm a lady! Not really! It's me, King Julien! Which of you is attracted to me? Hands up! [Laughing] Yes! Hey, freaks! You will be very glad to hear that I am coming with you.
Alex: [Chuckles] Oh, no, thank you.
King Julien: Yes, thank you. It's my plane! Until I return with the spoils from the new country... [holds Stevie the Gecko in his hand] Stevie will be in charge!
[The crowd didn't say anything]
Maurice: I don't think they like that idea so much, Julien.
King Julien: What is that you saying, Stevie? No. [Gasps] Could we? No, you didn't say that! How is that even possible? Naughty little thing! Stevie says... [gibberish language of what is Stevie saying] Let them eat cake!
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!
Skipper: Struts.
Kowalski: [flicks the levers] Check.
Skipper: Flaps.
Kowalski: [taps on the flaps control] Check.
Skipper: Engine.
Kowalski: [turns a knob] Check.
Skipper: Coffee maker.
Kowalski: [turns on the coffee maker] Check.
Skipper: That's got to be the second biggest slingshot I've ever seen. But it's gonna have to do. [on the intercom] Attention. This is your captain speaking.
[Private is giving a safety demonstration to the passengers]
Private: [shows life vest] In the event of a water emergency, place the vest over your head, and kiss your... [pulls on the red tab, causing the vest to inflate and explode] ...goodbye.
Gloria: New York City, here we come, baby!
Skipper: ...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... [places oxygen mask over his face, muffling his voice] ...To hide your terrified expression from the other passengers.
Marty: [showing his detached seatbelt] Excuse me, miss, aren't these supposed to be attached to my seat?
Private: [removes the mask] No, sir.
Skipper: OK, boys, launch!
Rico: Hai.
Lemur #1: Launch!
Lemur #2: Launch!
Lemur #3: Launch!
[All lemurs release the guillotine while the gang is screaming, and the plane begins to fly to New York as the lemurs celebrate. And when the scene now goes to thunder, Alex sees a scary animal that is messing with the wires on the plane]
Alex: AAHH!! Gremlin!
[After the plane was out of the cloudy skies, it turns out that Alex had a dream, and it turned out that it was just Mort]
Alex: [Sighs] Hey, Mort.
Mort: Hi! [Screams]
[Alex looks to see where Mort went]
Alex: [Whispering] That was weird.
Marty: Hey, somebody's dreaming, huh.
Alex: I think I just saw Mort on the wing of the plane.
Melman: You got Madagascar on the brain.
[Alex, Marty, and Gloria all talk at once]
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?
[Gloria laughs]
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?
[All laughing]
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?
Gloria: I think we each reach a point in our lives when we want to meet somebody. You know? Settle down, have a relationship.
Marty: I can see that.
Melman: What? [clears throat] Like dating?
Gloria: Yeah, dating.
Melman: Oth-Other... oth-other guys?
Gloria: What do you mean, other guys?
Melman: Darn it! I'm gonna...What is holding up that beverage service?! I'm gonna go check.
Gloria: [yawns as she is going to sleep] You all keep talking. I'm gonna catch a few winks.
Julien: You see that? It's so funny! Oh, I like laughing! It's such a nice experience! To laugh!
Melman: Wow!
Julien: Whoa! Sorry. Do you mind going back? This is first class. It's nothing personal. We're just better than you. Hey Maurice, I'm open! Hit me!
Maurice: He shoots, he scores!
Melman: Is that Vivaldi?
Julien: Hey, in-flight slave.
Private: Can I help you, Mr. Mankiewicz?
Julien: Bring me my nuts on a silver platter.
Melman: 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.
[In the meantime at the cockpit, a red light flashes as a buzz of warning for something wrong on the plane.]
Skipper: We'll go out for pineapple, my bobbly-headed boobily-boo.
[the red bulb on the plane's fuel gauge is flashing]
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! [catches the manual and promptly smashes the bulb with it] Problemo solved.
Kowalski: Sir, we may be out of fuel.
Skipper: What makes you think that?
Kowalski: We've lost engine one. [out the left window, engine #1 sputters out] And engine two is no longer on fire. [out the right window, engine #2 stops smoking and sputters]
Skipper: Buckle up, boys. [covers "Doll's" eyes] Don't look, doll, this might get hairy. [on the intercom] 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. [the plane falls out of the sky; all, except the sleeping Gloria and the chimps, Mason and Phil, start screaming] When it comes to air travel, we know you have no choice whatsoever. But thanks again for choosing Air Penguin.
King Julien: [laughing] Raise your arms, Maurice! It's more fun when you raise arms like this! [everything in first class, including Julien and Maurice, gets sucked out of the plane; deploys a parachute] I can fly!
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! [Gloria is snoring, Alex, Marty, Mason, and Phil glare at Melman quizzically] Like... [sighs] Like you love the beach. [stammering] Or a good book. Or the beach.
Skipper: My goodness, Doll, you're shaking like a leaf. Rico! You've had your fun. Pull up. [Rico pulls up] Gear down. [Kowalski pulls a lever that deploys the landing gear] Gently now. You just want to kiss the ground. Just a little peck. A smooch. Like you're kissing your sister. [the landing gear breaks] I said kiss it!!! [the wings, engines, and the hull of the plane break off] Now just a little brake. Just a touch. A little whisper.
Mason: [while playing chess with Phil] I believe that's checkmate.
[Alex, Marty and Melman scream]
Skipper: Commence emergency landing procedure! Flaps up! Deploy!
[Kowalski and Rico deploy the parachutes that make the plane land gently]
[The plane lands slowly and touches the ground softly as the parachutes come down]
Gloria: Oh, we're here. [confused] What in the world? What happened to the plane? What did y'all do to the plane?
Melman: [muffled] Is this thing ever working?
Marty: I'm OK. I'm alive.
Melman: [muffled] Hey, guys?
Gloria: I can't even sleep for a minute. You know what? This is not JFK. I don't think.
Alex: Wow.
Skipper: [as Alex watches] Kowalski, casualty report.
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 watches Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private giving High 5's]
Alex: [as he walks up close] Hey, happy slappers! Is there some reason to celebrate? Look at the plane!
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? [Rico pulls out a pocket knife] Fine. You can be in charge. You fix the plane.
Alex: Who gives you the authority to put me in charge?
Skipper: OK, then I'll remain in charge.
[Rico puts away the pocket knife]
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! [Mason and Phil are still playing chess after the plane had crashed in Africa] You stay with us. We could use your front cortexes and opposable thumbs.
Mason: Phil! I should wash your hands out with soap.
Gloria: How in the hello are they gonna fix this plane?!
Alex: You know, grit and spit and spit. A lot of spit and grit and stick-to-it-iveness.
Marty: That don't sound too promising.
Alex: You're right. We're stuck here.
Marty: Hey, guys, as long as we're together, we'll be OK.
Alex: Yeah. Yeah. But love ain't gonna get us home, guys.
[The Tour Guide, who is wearing soft khaki pants, A Bill Winter long sleeve shirt, black socks and light brown shoes, pulls up in a jeep with pauristssengers.]
Tour Guide: Behold! The lion!
Alex: Hey, it's People!
Tour Guide: There is much to see. Moving on.
Alex: Wait! People!
Gloria: Wait, wait, wait! People!
Marty: Stop! Wait! People! Hey!
Melman: They'll help us!
Alex: Hey! Wait up!
Marty: People! Stop!
Gloria: Help us!
Alex: Hey, wait! If you stop, I'll autograph those!
Nana: I know you!
Alex: You.
Nana: It's the bad kitty!
[Nana uses her handbag to attack Alex as he throws her out of the jeep!]
Alex: Give me that!
[Alex karate yells and punches Nana]
Alex: How do you like some of that?!
[Nana punches Alex as Alex still fights Nana. And for a big hit, Alex spits his tooth, while Nana spits her chattering teeth.]
Nana: Ho, ho! Uno, dos, tres!!
[Nana uses a log to attack, but Alex deflects it and uses a rock.]
Alex: Ah-ha ha!
Nana: Come in, Tokyo!
[Nana uses a pinch on Alex as a rock drops on his head]
Alex: Yeow! Owww!!
[Nana kicks Alex's butt, harassing Alex, and the people are cheering]
Marty: Right in the batteries!
Nana: You think an old lady can't take care of herself? [Puts her chattering teeth in her mouth] Next time, I won't go so easy on you! Thank you, dear.
Tour Guide: Moving on!
Gloria: [Not realizing that the old lady was the one who harassed Alex at Grand Central Station] Are you out of your mind?! We need their help, and you're harassing little old ladies!?
Alex: Out of my mind? Who's out of my mind now?
Marty: See if you can get an operator.
Alex: No problem. Out of my mind. We're going home.
Phone voice: The service user has brought outside of the coverange area. Please try again later.
[looking out over the African plain]
Melman: Oh my... Whoa.
Gloria: Am I trippin'?
Marty: Look at all the zebras, like me! Wait a minute, where are we?
Melman: San Diego. This time I'm 40% sure.
Alex: I know this place.
Marty: I think it's Africa.
Melman: Africa?
Marty: It's gotta be. Our ancestral crib! It's in our blood, I can feel it!
Alex: No, no. It's more than that. It's like, deja vu, like I've...like I've been here before.
Marty: It's like Roots!
Alex: [dazed] No, no. It's like, deja vu, like I've... like I've been here before.
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 something 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.
[A loud roar caused the zoo animals to turn. It came from a male lion named Zuba. He coughed as he cleared his throat.]
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: [Noticing the mark on Alex's paw] Zuba, look!
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: [realizes that he still has his mark since he was a cub] Whoa!
Zuba: [realizing his son is still alive] Son.
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: [mistakes Alex's father on being his father too] Dad!
Zuba: My son! My son is home!
[All the animals are cheering]
Florrie: Alakay! Alakay has come home!
Makunga: Whoo!! Whoo! Alakay! Yeah! The prodigal son returns. This is perfect!
Teetsi: [yawns] I thought you hated Zuba.
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: [Not realizing they are in Africa] 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!
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.
[cut to the giraffes]
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 sees a Giraffe coughing]
Melman: Okay. You guys really need a doctor.
Stephen: Hey. We have an opening.
Murray: Would you be interested?
Melman: Me? A doctor?
[Cut to the hippopotamuses]
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.
[Cut to the lions and lionesses]
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: [confidently] All right. This one always knocks 'em dead. [does his zoo act] ROOOOAAARRR!!!!!
Zuba: Look out. The King is mad. The King is mad! Now let's welcome him back into the pride with open arms!
[cut back to the Zebras]
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!
[cut back to the Giraffes]
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.
[cut back to the Hippos]
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 was still having his crowd surf until he landed on the ground with his back]
Alex: Oof!
Makunga: Oops! [chuckles] Um... I hate to be a party pooper, Zuba, but some of the other lions were wondering when you plan to banish your son.
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 Alakay.
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: [singing] Cause I'm a private dancer. A dancer for money. Any old music will do-- [passes out]
Gloria: Beautiful, isn't it?
Melman: Yeah.
Marty: It's amazing.
Alex: Guys, this is where we belong.
[The Penguins are seeing the safari Jeep coming towards them.]
Skipper: Operation Tourist Trap is a go.
Private: Oh, I like that one. That’s a good one.
Kowalski: It works on many levels, sir.
Skipper: You guys are a bunch of suck-ups.
Kowalski: That, too, sir.
Private: Absolutely.
Rico: Hai.
Skipper: Stations. Stage one. Go!
[Private runs to a red X on the ground and waddles in place. The tour Jeep hits him, and he lands on the dirt. He then squirts ketchup on his stomach while cracking an egg on his head and placing a fake bone by his stomach, and then he sticks his tongue out to make it look like he is dead. The people that were in the tour Jeep get out to check what happened]
Tour Guide: Oh, no! What have I done?
Skipper: Come on, take the bait.
Tour Guide: Is it dead?
Skipper: Stage two! Go, go, go!
[Skipper, Kowalski and Rico use a seesaw catapult to get into the Jeep with wood and rock and open the front hood.]
Tour Guide: I will give him the kiss of life.
Skipper: Rico! [Rico tries to start the Jeep] Rico! [The tour guide kisses Private, who inflates and flies into the tour Jeep and slams the trunk shut, getting in.] Reverse! Gas! Music!
["More Than a Feeling" by Boston plays, and the Penguins start driving the Jeep away from the tourists.]
Tour Guide: No! Stop! Stop! Stop! Come back!
[The Penguins give high-five, when...]
Nana: [offscreen] What is all this rock'n'roll racket?!
[Nana pops out from the backseat and angrily glares at the penguins. The penguins throw Nana out of the windshield. It stops.]
Private: Is she dead?
[Nana gets up.]
Skipper: [sternly] No.
[The Penguins drive forward and hit Nana, then they drive away backwards.]
Nana: [gets up and straightens her head, calls out] You hoodlums! [She picks up her glasses]
Tour Guide: Good heavens! Are you OK?
Man #2: Lady, I found your pocketbook. [gives the purse to Nana]
Nana: My handbag. Such a good boy. Nana can't survive without it.
Cameraman: Wow. You are one tough cookie.
Nana: Brownies Troop 416, Yonkers.
Tour Guide: OK, nobody panic! The best thing we can do is stay together. We'll wait for another tour jeep. It may take hours, it's getting dark but...
Cameraman: Where are you going?
Nana: I'm not staying here to be attacked by more animals. I'm too old to die.
Cameraman: I don't know about you guys but I'm going with her. Old lady, wait up!
Tour Guide: Please! We need to stay.....together. Fine! We'll go that way!
Nana: Does anyone want a hard candy?
All: Ooh!
[Back with Alex and his parents]
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.
[Zuba grabs the Foofie away from Alex]
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're 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!
[From the jungle, the humans are getting lost and were tired.]
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.
[A rustle in the bushes causes them to stop and look. Some more people come out from the opposite direction.]
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: [whistles] 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?
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! [he starts to sing before he gets attack by a shark and runs off] Bad fishy! Bad fishy! No, shark, no! Sit! Why am I laughing?
Kowalski: Skipper, we have all the parts we need. But, we're slightly behind schedule.
Skipper: How slightly?
Kowalski: Six to nine years.
Skipper: Sixty-nine years?
Kowalski: No, six to nine years.
Skipper: [on the intercom] Private, what happened to our thumbs?
Private: Haven't seen them since yesterday, sir. [drops his screwdriver] Darn you, Darwin! [the car's hood closes on him]
Skipper: Nobody goes AWOL on my watch. Private! You're coming with me! [the inside of the front of the car explodes] Rico! You're coming with me! [Rico welds a car in half] We'll track them down and bring them in for court martial.
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: [on the intercom] 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? [Mason tries to say something] Good, now let's get to work.
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 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...
[Makunga looks left and right to see if anyone is watching him, then winks at Alex cunningly]
Alex: Teetsi?
[Everyone except Makunga gasps in shock]
Florrie: [shocked] Teetsi? Why did he pick Teetsi?
Zuba: Oh, that's my boy! He's got some gumption there! Somebody, wake him up! Wake him up.
[A lion throws a rock on Teetsi's head as he's lying on a rock. Teetsi bursts his eyes open and roars before rising, revealing his towering height and unsheathing his claws. His muscles pop out, starting from his legs, through his torso, all the way up to his upper body before letting out a ferocious roar.]
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.
[Alex starts dancing. Zuba and Florrie are confused.]
Florrie: Is he dancing?
Zuba: What is he doing?
Florrie: I know that boy is not dancing.
Makunga: [trying to hold his laugh] This is even better than I thought.
[Alex is still dancing as Teetsi roars and unleashes his claws.]
Zuba: Alakay, turn around!
Alex: No, Pop, it's hop, shuffle, ball change, hip swish, turn around.
[Alex's pupils shrink in shock as he turns around to face Teetsi flying towards him with both fists extended. Teetsi slams Alex with such force that the whole savanna shakes and a large fissure travels beyond the Lions' arena, cracking a small boulder and alerting a small herd of antelopes.]
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: '[showing no regrets for his own actions] Oh, no, this is horrible! Alakay has failed the test! Who would have ever imagined that today Zuba would have to banish... [inhales sharply] his own son?
Florrie: Zuba, no.
Makunga: Zuba, yes. Sadly, the Alpha Lion must cast out all failures.
Zuba: [looks to his son and thinks about the consequences of banishing his son and decides to resign his title] Then I'm no longer the Alpha lion. [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: [Accidentally hits another lion] You, sir! I guess not. Well, I... This is all very awkward, but I suppose I could carry this tremendous burden.
Zuba: Hmph.
Makunga: Teetsi! Get the hat.
[Teetsi picks up the fruit hat and walks to Alex]
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.
[Zuba glares at Makunga]
[Alex and his parents have relocated to a barren land overrun by dik-dik antelope.]
Zuba: [shooing the antelope] Come on! Shoo, shoo! Get out of here! [to Alex] You should have told us, son. You should have told us that you weren't a real king!
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: [scolding Zuba] ZUBA!!
Zuba: Yeah, I said it!
Alex: A real lion. Thanks. Thanks a lot. [Leaves his parents behind]
[Zuba and Florrie glare at each other]
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... [clears throat] This spot looks like Witch Doctor's Disease.
Melman: [so] Witch Doctor's Disease? That's the most ridiculous disease I've ever heard of Stephen. Whoa!
Elephant: Don't ask.
Melman: Someone's been knotty. [chuckles] Okay. This won't hurt a bit.
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?
[Melman fixes the elephant's nose]
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.
[Marty does the water challenge as he did in the first film, spits out water, and sprays it all over the zebras]
Marty: Ta-da!
Zebras: He has talent! Stupendous and tremendous! Hollah!
Marty: Bet you've never seen that one before! Knocked 'em dead in New York!
Zebra: Hey, let's all give it a try!
Zebras: Let's do it!
Marty: Well, you can try all you want to, but it's gonna takes years of practice. And you'll never gonna quite get a tight stream until you build up your lip muscles to the point where you can purse your lips like this. You got it?
[The zebras do the same thing like Marty did, but there was more water, which made Marty scream and knocked him]
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.
Zebra #2: It's in our blood!
Marty: I always thought I was a bit unique.
Zebras: We are unique!
Zebra: Hey! We are like a force of nature!
Zebra #2: A million points of light!
Zebra #3: And dark stripes!
Zebras: Exactly the same!
Marty: Exactly the same.
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?
[Suddenly, the real Marty shows up.]
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: [sighs] It's always about you, isn't it?
Alex: My problems are just a little bit bigger than yours, Marty. Alright, I couldn't tell you apart. So what?! [sees one of the two zebras leaving] Yeah, fine. Run away, Marty! Run away! That's what you do best! Just like back in New York!
Marty: I'm right here. But you can't tell that, right?
[Alex groans in frustration, mistaking the two zebras]
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.
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. [raspberries] 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!
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.
Moto Moto: [singing] 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
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.
[From the forests. Melman appeared]
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. [pulls Moto Moto from Gloria] 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.
Moto Moto: OK. What?
Hippo: That was beautiful.
Moto Moto: Anyways, where were we?
Gloria: I'm "huge"?
[Alex is punching the bird's nest, like a punching bag]
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!
[The nest has the birds come out and they attack Alex while he coughs some of them with its birds and feathers]
Alex: Had enough? Sure, fly away! Coward!
[Then Alex hears someone screaming the word "NO!" along with some screams from the animals, and goes over and sees that the watering hole is all gone, where the animals have gathered there and sees a fish.]
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: [enters] Out of my way! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!
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.
[The animals talk about it, Alex looks back and remembers how he left the reserve when he got caught in the crate by the poachers when he was a little cub while Zuba tried to rescue him.]
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: [watches Alex leave] Maybe you should try a little rain dance. [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!
Animals: Where is Zuba?!
Makunga: [growling] ALL RIGHT!! FINE! As an added measure, I will consult with Zuba!
[Meanwhile, Alex goes off to find Marty.]
Alex: Marty? Hey! Marty! Marty? Marty.
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.
[Another Zebra starts sobbing]
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.
[Alex and Marty, reunited, walk side by side into the jungle, bumping each other playfully]
Zebras: People are out there! You're crazy! Come back! The people will get you! Don't lose the hat! Bye, hat!
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 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?
[The crowd cheered and they carry Melman to the volcano chanting his name]
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!
[Meanwhile Florrie speaking to Zuba]
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.
[?]
Makunga: Zuba! Zuba!
Zuba: [angrily] Get out of here!
Florrie: [annoyed] What do you want, Makunga?
Makunga: It's awful. The watering hole is dried up.
Zuba: DRIED UP?! [snarls] That's impossible!!
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! [running off to the reserve]
Makunga: Hurry, Zuba! I'm so parched. [coughs]
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: [shocked] WHAT?!?
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.
[Marty drinks some of the water. While Marty is drinking the water, Alex notices Nana]
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: [loudly] Oh, snap! I just used my last stick this morning!
[Alex tells Marty to quiet down, but an arrow hits the fruit hat of shame]
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!!!
[The camera changes to the volcano where Melman is about to go into the lava, but he is looking to the deep of the volcano.]
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! [suddenly realizes the truth] Melman's not dying!
Murray: Oh, no!
Gloria: Excuse me! Melman!! Move! Don't do this! [to King Julien] 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!
[But before Gloria could finish, she trips, which causes cracks to come out. Melman is shocked at what he's seeing and runs up, but begins to fall. Gloria stops him from falling by grabbing his horns.]
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: [throws Melman into her arms] 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.
[They embrace]
Julien: Maurice, what just happened?!
Maurice: I believe the fat lady has sung.
[As Melman and Gloria enjoy their romance, Marty showed up to warn them about Alex.]
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!
[the union monkeys have gone on strike. Mason and Phil are with Skipper at the negotiating table]
Mason: The plane won't be fixed until the suits meet our demands. Now, about maternity leave.
Skipper: "Maternity leave"? [glances under the table] You're all males...
Marty: Look, we need that plane for a rescue mission.
Well, there's nothing I can do until we bust up this union.
Skipper: Well, there's nothing I can do until we bust up this union.
Gloria: I'm gonna get to busting up all you if you don't get this plane going!
Skipper: Can't you see these commies have my hands tied here! No maternity leave!
Mason: [nudges Phil, who pulls out incriminating photos of Skipper and "Doll" in compromising positions] Maybe a certain someone wouldn't want these blowing around on the savanna? Hmm?
Skipper: [reluctantly] All right, you get your maternity leave.
[a whistle blows in the background and the monkeys get back to fixing the plane]
Marty: Finally.
[Back in the woods, the hunters have tied up Alex and are going to kill him and eat him as their dinner]
Alex: Where we headed? What's going on? Where are we going? Oh, no! Please! No, you're not gonna put me there! No, no, no! This is wrong.
Nana: You see? You are survivors. Now, how about a nice lion casserole?
Tour Guide: You can't eat a lion.
Nana: Eh. Don't worry, it tastes like chicken.
Alex: No, no, no. Don't listen to her. She's out of her mind, people! Hey! Hey! I'm from New York City too! It's me, Alex the lion! From Central Park!
[Suddenly, the hunters hear a roaring. It is revealed to be Zuba.]
Man: Lion!
Alex: Dad!
Zuba: What were you thinking, son?! You got no business being out here!! This is it. I want you to stay behind me.
Alex: No, Dad. They're New Yorkers. They're just rude and frightened people.
Zuba: Stay back! [snarls]
Nana: You'd let your dinner get away?!
Zuba: What are you doing, son?
Alex: The only thing I know how to do.
Tour Guide: Huh?
[Will.I.Am "The Traveling Song" plays again]
Man: What the...?
Cameraman: [recognizes the dance moves] Hey! I know those moves. Alex?
[The hunters begin to notice that it is Alex the Lion]
Woman: It's Alex the lion!
Man: From the Central Park!
Man #2: It is Alex!
Man #3: Only one lion can move like that!
Tour Guide: He's beautiful.
Zuba: I can't believe it.
Man: How does he do that?!
[All the hunters start cheering]
[The hunters chant Alex's name while Zuba joins the dance for a relationship]
Alex: Dad, what are you doing?
Zuba: I'm dancing with my son! I think.
Alex: Don't think, Dad. Feel! Butterfly!
Zuba: I'm feeling it! I'm feeling it!
Both: ROOOOAAARRR!!!!!
[Everyone is cheering for Alex and Zuba and they drop the weapons]
Nana: That was beautiful. Now let's eat!
Alex: Dad, look out!
Zuba: What the...?
Marty: Alex, get in!
Alex: She's got a gun! Let's get out while we can!
Marty: What?
Alex: She's got a gun! Let's get out while we can! Pass it on.
[the chimpanzees chatter the message all the way up the chain]
Mason: He said, "Let’s have some fun and take out the dam. Basset hound!"
Marty: Skipper, Alex wants to take out the dam!
Skipper: All right. [on the intercom] It's his funeral.
Marty: What?
Skipper: [on the intercom] Hard to port!
Gloria: Aye-aye, Skippy!
Melman: Bring it on! Bring it on! Whoo!
Nana: Come back! That's my dinner!
Skipper: Kowalski, full throttle. Music.
Private: [puts in a tape that plays "At The Copa (Copacabana)" by Barry Manilow] Oh, I like this song.
Kowalski: It never gets old.
Skipper: It does have a catchy hook. Come about! Bring her in low! [on the intercom] Hold on to your skirts! It's dam-busting time!
Gloria: Hold on tight, baby! Here we go!
Alex: Tell them, "No! Pull up! They'll kill us! There's got to be another way!" Pass it on!
[the chimpanzees chatter the message all the way up the chain]
Mason: They said, "Yes! Don't Pull up! Kill us! There's no other way, Basset Hound!"
Marty: Are you sure?
Skipper: Men, there's no sacrifice greater than someone else's. ["Doll's" head gets blown off by Nana's shotgun] NO!! MEDIC!!! [Rico pulls out the tape while Nana throws away her shotgun before swinging her purse] RAMMING SPEED!!!!
Nana: [twirling her purse] Bring it on! [all scream as they're about to crash head-first into the dam] Bad kitties.
King Julien: I don't know why the sacrifice didn't work. The science seemed so solid. I'd jump right in that volcano if I wasn't so good at whistling. [as he blows raspberries, Mort suddenly shows up behind them]
Mort: Oh! Oh-ho! It's you! I found you!
King Julien: Mort? [as Mort staggers towards Julien and Maurice, the shark comes up behind him and chases him again]
Mort: Bad fishy! [the trio jumps out of the way as the shark jumps into the lava below; Mort giggles after the shark has died]
Maurice: I wonder if the gods like seafood.
King Julien: Let's go find out. [the trio climbs up to the edge and witness the water rushing back into Africa] Look, Maurice.
Maurice: That was quick.
King Julien: I did it! I did it! I did it! [the volcano briefly erupts, then goes quiet again] Okay, you did it!
Mort: Oh, yes!
Hippo: Look!
Animals: It's Alakay! It's Zuba! You did it! Alakay, Zuba, you did it!
Florrie: Zuba! Alakay! You're back! I'm so glad you're safe!
Makunga: Out of my way. Well, well, well. You know, Zuba, if I remember correctly, you quit the pride. And you were kicked out. So don't think for an instant that this changes anything.
Alex: You're right. In fact, we humbly present you with this token of appreciation. It's a man bag. Very popular where I'm from.
Makunga: I don't know what to say.
Alex: You can still be tough and carry your stuff.
Makunga: My, does this strip adjust? Yes. I think this will go very nicely for me when I go out hiking, but I'm afraid you're still banished.
Alex: We figured you'd say that. [Zuba pulls down the bucket, revealing that Nana was inside it]
Nana: [gasps; last words] My handbag! [looks at Makunga, who's standing confused] You bad kitty! [kicks Makunga's crotch, stomps on his foot, uses a ruler to hit his paw and wet willies his left ear]
Makunga: [last words] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! [Nana rubs his arms that it burns before spanking his butt] ARGH!!!!
Alex: [winces] Ow!
[Nana grabs Makunga by the ear before dragging him away.]
Zuba: [picks up his staff and holds it to Alex] You deserve this, son. Welcome to the pride.
Alex: Thanks, Dad... but this belongs to you.
Zuba: No, no, son. To us! [father and son then raise the staff in the air for the animals to see] My son! The King of New York!
Florrie: Whoo! That's my baby!
[Scene cuts to the wedding day where Skipper and his doll girlfriend get married]
Zuba: Love transcends all differences. We are gathered here today to celebrate such a love. Do you take each other, for better or for worse?
Skipper: For better, please.
Alex: What a beautiful, weird couple!
Melman: That's not going to last.
Private: Can I kiss the bride, Skipper?
Skipper: No! Music!
[More than a Feeling by Boston plays again]
Skipper: Struts.
Kowalski: Check.
Skipper: Flaps!
Kowalski: Check.
Skipper: Diamonds and gold.
Kowalski: Check.
Florrie: Bye-bye!
Zuba: We'll miss you!
Florrie: See you later!
Skipper: We'll be back after the honeymoon in Monte Carlo, or whenever the gold runs out.
Zuba: Take care yourself!
Florrie: Come back soon!
Alex: You know Mom, let them take their time. New York isn't going anywhere, right, guys?
Marty: Yeah! You're right about that! Hey!
Melman: As long as I'm with her... and you two, I don't care where we are. She has the most amazing laugh.
Marty: Love has no boundaries!
Alex: Well, looks like you're stuck with us for a while. Dad? What's wrong? I just thought we could hang out a bit and...
[Zuba makes faces of angry and happy, then laughs]
Marty: Hey!
Alex: You got me!
Zuba: I got you, son! [Scatting]
Alex: You got me with. You did my thing. You brought it back around on me. I love it.
Zuba: [Scatting] I got you, son!
Alex: The old man's not too bad, eh, Marty?
Marty: Marty? Who's Marty?
Alex: Come on!
Marty: I don't know no Marty. No call me Marty.
Alex: You can't fool me!
Marty: I don't see no Marty. Ain't no Marty here.
Alex: Marty! I can look into your eyes, and I know it's you.
[Will.I.Am "The Traveling Song" plays yet again]
Julien: Hey! Shake the hot things!
All: WHOO!!!
Julien: Shake the hot things!
All: WHOO!!!
Julien: Shake 'em! Shake 'em! Shake 'em! Shake 'em!
[The story will be continued on the midquel of Valentine's Day and the third movie…]
[Will.I.Am's "I Like to Move it" plays in the end credits and then shows the memoriam text "For our friend Bernie Mac, thanks for all the laughter!"]
