Dialogue

Scene 1: Opening Credits/Marty's Dream

[In the beginning, the island of Madagascar appears in a daydream. A zebra yells like Tarzan and jumps out the vine after swinging it. The choir penguins in their black bowties sing Born Free by John Barry and they fly. He runs and jumps to the water in slow motion. A lion appears, sneaking towards the zebra as almost in the middle of a dream, he jumps up snapping him out of his dream, and the music stops.]

[first lines]

Alex: Surprise!

Marty: [screams, falls from treadmill and crashes into a fence] Alex! Do not interrupt me when I'm daydreaming! When a zebra's in the zone, leave him alone.

Alex: Come on, Marty. Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday!

Marty: [chuckles] Hey, man, thanks!

Alex: [expresses pain on the right side of his jaw] Oh! Ah! Oh! Hey, um... I got s – I got something stuck in my teeth. It's driving me crazy! Can you help me out here? Please?

Marty: Ah! You came to the right place, my friend. Doctor Marty, D.D.S., is in the house! Please hop on top of my sterilized examination table, if you may. [Alex opens the mouth, but can't see anything, because it's dark] I don't see anything.

Alex: [muffled] It's on the left.

Marty: Ow!

Alex: [muffled] Oh, sorry.

Marty: OK, just don't talk with your mouth full. [Alex nods] Aha! Right here. What the heck is this doing in there?

Alex: Happy birthday!

Marty: Aww! Hey, thanks, man! You put it in behind the tooth. You all right.

Alex: These aren't even on the shelf yet. Here! Check it out. Check it out! Look at that. Ooh! Look at that! Ooh!

Marty: Look at that. It's snowing.

Alex: 10 years old, huh? A decade. Double digits. The big 1-O! You don't like it?

Marty: No, no, it's great!

Alex: You hate it. Ugh! I should've gotten you the Alex alarm clock. That's the one. That's the big seller.

Marty: No, no! No. The present's great, really. It's just that another year's come and gone, and I'm still doing the same old thing. "Stand over here. Trot over there. Eat some grass. Walk back over here."

Alex: I see your problem.

Marty: Maybe I should go to law school.

Alex: You just need to break out of that boring routine.

Marty: How?

Alex: Throw out the old act. Get out there! Who knows what you're gonna do? Make it up as you go along. Ad lib, improvise, on the fly. Boom, boom, boom!

Marty: Really?

Alex: You know, make it fresh.

Marty: Fresh, huh? OK. I could do fresh.

Alex: Works for me.

[Earth, Wind and Fire's "Boogie Wonderland" plays as the statue monkeys ring the bell at the front of the zoo ring at the zoo's opening hour. The People are coming! Alex bursts with excitement about them.]

Alex: Here come the people, Marty! Oh, I love the people! It's fun people fun time! Whoo! [Hops into Gloria the Hippo's habitat and tap dances on her butt] Let's go, Gloria! Up and at 'em! We're open!

Gloria: [yawning] What day is it?

Alex: It's Friday! Field trip day! Dadadadada! Boom! Let’s go! Come on!

Gloria: Yes, it's field trip day. Let's get up and go... [falls asleep again] in 10 more minutes.

[ricocheting off a lamppost, Alex arrives at the roof of Melman's pen. Melman is a timid giraffe with constant health problems, or so he thinks]

Alex: Come on! [sings in Conga style] Melman, Melman, Melman! Melman, Melman, Melman! Wake up! Rise and shine! It's another fabulous morning in the Big Apple. Let's go!

Melman: [scoffs] Not for me. I'm calling in sick.

Alex: What?

Melman: I found a brow-- Another brown spot on my shoulder. Right here. See? Right th-- Right there. You see?

Alex: Melman, you know it's all in your head. Hmm?

[Kids and adults burst through the zoo gates eager to view the animals and Alex.]

Kid: Let's go! Come on!

[As rushed parents threw away their coffee cups in the trash, Mason the chimp yawns, retrieves a newspaper, a half-empty coffee cup, and a bagel and returns to his roommate Phil, a mute chimp who doesn't speak.]

Mason: Phil! Wake up, you filthy monkey. [Mason gives Phil his coffee while he reads the newspaper and eats his bagel. Meanwhile, Marty prepares to give his audience something special for his birthday.]

Marty: Oh, I'm going to be fresh. Straight out the ground. Tasty fresh! Freshalicious. [sips some water and spits it out] Ziploc fresh.

[an eager crowd awaits outside Alex's rock as they wait for their king to emerge]

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, the Central Park Zoo proudly presents...

Kids: [chanting] Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex!

[backstage Alex prepares himself for another day of people pleasing]

Alex: Oh! Show them the cat! Who's the cat? Whoo!

Announcer: ...the King of New York City.

Both: Alex the Lion!

Alex: [whispers] Ahhhh!

Marty: It's showtime! [simultaneously as Alex emerges and turns on the fan blowing his mane]

[Alex emerges on his rock and lets out his signature roar.]

Alex: ROOOOAAARRR!!!!!

[Crowds go wild! This is what he lived for! The cameraman takes pictures of him. Meanwhile, folks gather around Marty's pen to see his act.]

Marty: Gather around, people. Big show about to start. Check out the zebra taking care of biz. That's right.

[sucking up some water, Marty performs impossibly impressive water tricks with his mouth then sprays at 3 adults.]

Children: Yay!!!!!

[This amazes the kids and attracts photographers to take pictures of him. A series of pictures show Gloria swimming tricks and Melman's MRI and medication treatments.]

Scene 2: The Penguins

[On another side of the zoo, the four penguin brothers who are also agents, Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private are plotting something of their mission...]

Skipper: Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave. Kowalski, progress report!

[Kowalski, the brains of the group, emerges from a hole dug out previously by the penguins]

Kowalski: We're only 500 feet from the main sewer line.

Skipper: And the bad news?

Kowalski: We've broken our last shovel. [shows a broken spoon]

Skipper: Right... [turns to his weapon specialist Rico] Rico, you're on litter patrol. We need shovels, and find more Popsicle sticks. We don't want to risk another cave-in. [Rico jumps in the pool]

[Private, the youngest of the group, perks up]

Private: And me, Skipper?

Skipper: I want you to look cute and cuddly, Private. Today we're gonna blow this dump.

Woman: Come here. Come here. Come on, penguin.

[Rico snatches a plastic spoon from a boy eating his frozen yogurt. Marty, meanwhile at sunset, impresses his last fans by making fart noises with his arm pits.]

Marty: Yeah! You don't see that on Animal Planet! Ha-ha. [mesmerized kids are hauled away by disgusted and confused parents] Well, show's over, folks. Thanks for coming. I hope you thought it was FRESH! I'll be here all week. In fact, I'll be here for my whole life. 365 days a year, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Halloween, Kwanzaa. Please don't forget to never spay or neuter your pets. [throws; after sips on his beverage] And tip your cabbie, because he's broke.

[A quartet of penguins dig up to the section of a zebra named Marty. One penguin, seemingly the leader, talks to him]

Skipper: You, quadruped! [In German] Sprechen sie Englisch?

Marty: I sprechen.

Skipper: What continent is this?

Marty: Manhattan.

Skipper: Hoover Dam! We're still in New York. [the penguins down the hole] Abort! Dive! Dive! Dive!

Marty: Hey, hey! You in the tux! Wait a minute! [the penguins up the hole] What are you guys doing?

Private: We're digging to Antarctica. [Skipper slaps him]

Marty: Ant-who-tica?

Skipper: Can you keep a secret, my monochromatic friend? [Marty looks around before nodding] Do you ever see any penguins walking free around New York City? [Marty shakes his head "no"] Of course not. We don't belong here, it's just not natural. This is all some kind of whacked-out conspiracy. We're going to the wide open spaces of Antarctica. To the wild! [the four high five each other as Skipper slaps Private again.]

Marty: The wild? You could actually go there? That sounds great. [before he can thank them, the four have already gone down the hole] Hey, hold up! Where is this place?! [Muffled] Tell me where it is! [Skipper alone emerges from the hole pushing his face]

Skipper: You didn't see anything... Right?

Marty: Yes, sir! Oh! Uh, I'm sorry. No, sir. [Skipper dives back into the hole and seals the hole entrance with Marty's cup]

Announcer: For his final appearance of the day, the king of New York City. Alex the Lion!

Alex: ROOOOAAARRR!!!!!

[And the bells are ringing, because it's time to go home and close the Zoo.]

Alex: Thank you. Thank you very much. You guys are great. You're a great crowd. Give yourselves a hand, huh? Thank you. [underpants flies in his face] Oh. Thank you. Oh! Well. Thank you. Oh, that's too kind. Too kind. [sling shoots the I Heart (Love) NY undies by accident, which land on Melman's nose]

Melman: Ah! Underpants!!!

Alex: [humans leave the zoo] Everybody get home safe. Hey! Check out my Website. 24 hour Alex Cam. Watch me sleep.

Scene 3: Marty's 10th birthday begins

[Dusk hits the zoo while closing, and the staff roams the zoo with a band of chefs and groomers to relax the exhausted animals of their hard work. Marty gets his hooves polished like shoes and receives a fresh patch of green grass from the chef as a birthday meal.]

Gloria: This is the life. [Gloria receives a wide variety of fruit for her meal while drying in a big towel and polish nails for a massage.]

Melman: [Melman is still getting medical treatment] That's the spot. [a chef reveals a tray full of medications and vitamins to make him feel better] Oh! I'm in heaven.

[Alex seems to get the most treatment out of all the animals and receives mane grooming, nail trimming, and a full pack of steak meal which he devours in a number of seconds leaving a bone. And later that night, the four friends gather through a small party to celebrate Marty's 10th birthday]

Gloria: Ooh, it's Marty's birthday!

Alex: Just rip it open. Come on!

Marty: What is it? What is it?

Gloria: Come on. Open it up. What you get? What you get? What you get?

Marty: Yeah! A thermometer. Thanks. I love it, Melman. I love it. [puts it in his mouth with style]

Melman: Yeah, I wanted to give you something personal. You know, that was my first rectal thermometer.

Marty: Mother–! [Marty proceeds to gag at the thought and spits out the thermometer while licking his tongue]

Melman: I'm gonna miss that bad boy.

Alex: Okay. Get the cake. Melman, come on. [Melman blows the party noisemaker]

Everyone but Marty: [humming, in barber shop quartet-style]

Alex: Happy

Gloria: birth-

Melman: day

Alex: to

Gloria: you.

Alex: You

Melman: live

Gloria: in

Alex: a zoo.

Gloria: You

Melman: look

Alex: like a

Melman: mon-

Alex: key.

Melman: [holds long note] Aaaaand

Alex: you smell

Gloria: like

Melman: one

Everyone: too! [laughs]

Mason: [He spits holding tea cup] I say! [Phil smells his armpits and faints]

Marty: Aw, well, now, you guys are just embarrassing me. And yourselves.

Alex: What are you talking about? We worked on that all week.

Gloria: Let's go. Let's make a wish, baby-cakes. [Marty blows out the candle shaped like a 10 then takes a delicious bite of the cake]

Alex: Come on. What'd you wish for?

Marty: Nope. Can't tell you that.

Alex: Come on. Tell.

Marty: No, siree. I'm telling you, it's bad luck. You want some bad luck, I'll blab it out. But if you want to be safe, I'll keep my mouth shut.

Gloria: Oh, for crying out loud, Marty. Would you just tell us? I mean, really. What could happen?

Marty: OK. I wished... I could go... to the wild!

Alex: The wild?! Whoa!! [falls over]

[Melman swallows the noisemaker and chokes, Gloria shocks, Alex thuds and drops his steak]

Marty: I told you it was bad luck.

[Then Gloria tries to get the noisemaker out of Melman's throat]

Alex: The wild? Are you nuts? That is the worst idea I've ever heard.

Melman: [coughs] It's unsanitary.

Marty: The penguins are going. So why can't I?

Alex: The penguins are psychotic.

Marty: Come on. Just imagine going back to nature. Back to your roots, clean air, wide open spaces!

Gloria: Well, I hear they have wide-open spaces in Connecticut.

Marty: Connecticut?

Melman: Yeah. What you got to do is, you got to go over to Grand Central. Then you got to take the Metro-North train... north?

Marty: So one could take the train? Just hypothetically.

Alex: Marty, come on. What would Connecticut have to offer us?

Melman: Lyme disease.

Alex: Thank you, Melman.

Marty: No, no, really! Really, I just want...

Alex: This is a highly refined type of food thing that you do not find in the wild.

Marty: You ever thought there might be more to life than steak, Alex?

Alex: [stares at his steak] He didn't mean that, baby. No-no-no.

Marty: Doesn't it bother you guys that you don't know anything about life outside this zoo?

Melman: Nuh-uh. Nope.

Gloria: Mm-mm.

Alex: Well, I mean, come on. That's just one subject. You got a little, uh, schmutz right there on your... [eats his steak]

Marty: [Sighs and uses a napkin to clean his mouth] Thanks, guys. Thanks for the party. It was great. Really. [Alex spits a bone and drops it as Marty uses the treadmill]

Melman: What's eating him?

Gloria: [whispered] Maybe you should talk to him, Alex. You know, go over there and give him a little pep talk.

Alex: Hey, I already gave him a snow globe. I can't top that.

Gloria: [sighs] Alex…

Melman: I can see where this is going. [yawns] It is getting late. I guess I'm gonna... [snores]

Gloria: [whispered] Come on. He's your best friend.

Alex: All right, all right. OK.

Gloria: Night, Marty.

Marty: Night, Glo.

[Gloria backflips into her pool. Alex takes out an umbrella to avoid the chlorine]

Scene 4: The Talk of the Wild/Marty's Gone

Alex: Ahhh… what a day. I mean, just really, really I mean I tell you, it just doesn't get any better than this, you know? [short pause, Alex sees a star] Ooh! It just did. Even the star's out. Not going to find a star like that in the wild.

Marty: Helicopter. [A star, which turns out to be a helicopter, flies away.]

Alex: Marty. Buddy. Listen. Everybody has days when they think the grass might be greener somewhere else.

Marty: Alex. Look at me. I'm 10 years old. My life is half over. And I don't even know if I'm black with white stripes... or white with black stripes.

Alex: Marty. I'm thinking of a song.

Marty: Alex. Please. Not now.

Alex: Oh, yes. It's a wonderful song. I think you're familiar with it. [scatting]

Marty: Oh, no. Oh, no, you don't. No, no, no. I'm not listening! Lalalalalalalalalalala!

Alex: ♪ Start spreadin' the news ♪

Marty: I don't know you!

Alex: ♪ I'm leaving today! We are a great big part of it ♪

Marty: [laughs] He's funny. Who is that?

Alex: Come on. You know you know the words. Two little words.

Marty: New York.

Both: ♪ New York! ♪

Bird: Shut up, shut up, shut up!! Hey, I'm sleeping here! We're not all nocturnal, you know!!

Marty: Hey, I'll knock your "turnal" right off, pal.

Snake: Yeah, you and what army, stripes?

Alex: You mess with him, you mess with me, Howard!

Marty: Ah ha ha ha!

Unknown Animal: You're a bigmouth lion!

Alex: See? Mr. Grumpy Stripes! We make a great team, the two of us.

Marty: We sure do. No doubt about it.

Alex: So, what are you going to do? Just go running off to the wild by yourself?

Marty: No.

Alex: Good.

Marty: You and me. Let's go.

Alex: What?

Marty: The wild. Come on. You and me together. It's a straight shot down Fifth Avenue to Grand Central. We'll grab a train, we'll head north. We can be back by morning. No one will ever know.

Alex: [chuckles] You're joking. Right?

Marty: [chuckles] Yeah. I'm joking. Of course I'm joking. Give me a break. Like we're going to get a train.

Alex: [chuckles] Oh. [sighs] Don't do that. You really had me worried there.

Marty: [yawning] Oh, well. I guess I'll hit the sack.

Alex: Yeah, me too. I'll need to rest my voice for tomorrow. It's Seniors' Day, you know. Have to roar extra loud. Give them a little jolt! You know what I’m talking about?

Marty: Good night, Ally Al.

Alex: [sighs and claps twice to turn on the red light and hears a bird] Oh. They forgot to turn off the ambiance again!

Marty: Don't worry. It's cool. You know, I got it. [kicks the speaker, shooing the bird away as it now turns to the sounds of the Police]

Alex: Ah. Much better. [2 hours later; sleep talking] Come on now, baby. My little filet. My little filet mignon with a little fat around the edges. I like that. I like a little fat on my steak. My sweet, juicy steak. You are a rare delicacy.

Melman: Alex. Alex. Alex? Alex. Alex!

Alex: [wakes up] Huh? What?

Melman: You suck your thumb?

Alex: [sighs] What is it, Melman?

Melman: Okay, okay. [sighs] You know how I have that bladder infection and I have to get up every two hours? Well, I got up to pee, um, and I looked over at Marty's pen, which, you know, I usually don't do. I don't know why, but I did. And this time I looked over and...

Alex: What, Melman? What's going on?

Melman: It's Marty. He's gone.

Alex: Gone?! [hits his head] Agh! What do you mean "gone"?!

Melman: How long has he been working on this?! [looks into the hole the penguins dug] Marty!! Marty!!!

Gloria: [enters for the scene] He wouldn't fit down there.

Alex: [tries to look for Marty in the haystacks, noticing that he isn't there] Marty? Marty?! Marty!! Marty!!!

Gloria: This doesn't make any sense. Where would he go?

Alex: [horrified; after short pause] CONNECTICUT!!

Gloria: He wouldn't.

Melman: Oh, no! What are we going to do? We gotta-- we gotta-- I mean, we gotta-- we gotta-- we gotta call somebody!

Alex: [Gasps as he runs to a payphone and dials 911] Hello?! Get me Missing Animals!! And hurry! We've got a lost zebra probably on the way to Connecticut by now, and we're gonna need...!!

[Cut to 911 dispatch office; the operator only hears Alex roaring on speaker.]

911 Operator: [takes off headset in confusion] Hello? [cut to zoo; on speaker] Hello?

Alex: [notices a mistake] Wait a second. We can't call the people.

911 Operator: What the…?!

Alex: [hangs up, then nervously looks at the phone booth for a second before ripping it out, and throws it on the ground] They'll be really mad! It'll get Marty transferred for good. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Gloria: Mm-hmm. I know that's right.

Alex: We got to go after him.

Melman: Go after him?

Alex: He's not thinking straight. We got to stop him from making for the biggest mistake of his life. He's probably out there lost and cold, confused. [sighs; sadly] Poor little guy.

Scene 5: Marty in New York

[The Bee Gees's Stayin’ Alive is playing while Marty walks through New York. Cut to Melman, Alex, and Gloria have just escaped the zoo. Melman helps Alex to hang his neck and Alex falls down to land. Gloria bashes the outside wall from the zoo.]

Gloria: Melman, come on!

Melman: You know, maybe one of us should wait here in case he comes back.

Gloria: Oh, no. Not now. This is an intervention, Melman. We all got to go.

Alex: What's the fastest way to Grand Central?!

Melman: Ooh! You should take Lexington.

Gloria: Melman!!

Melman: Okay. "We". We should take Lexington.

Alex: What about Park?

Melman: No, Park goes 2 ways. You can't time the lights.

Mason: [Mason and Phil have just escaped the zoo] I heard Tom Wolfe's speaking at Lincoln Center. [Phil signs frantically] Well, of course we're going to throw poo at him.

[Marty does ice skating then falls. Cut to Alex, Gloria, and Melman at the Subway train station]

Alex: I knew we should've taken Park. Are you sure this is the fastest way to Grand Central Station?

Gloria: I don't know! That's what Melman said!

Melman: Hey. Hey, you, guys. That room has some nifty little sinks you can wash up in and look! [sticks out his tongue with a urinal cake on it] Free mints!

Alex: This isn't a field trip, Melman! This is an urgent mission to save Marty from throwing his life away! Now, where's the train?

Melman: Ah. Here it comes. [He hears the train and looks to the other side, screaming he tumbles backwards as the train's horn blares before it hits him!]

Gloria: What did Marty say to you?! I asked you to talk to him!

Alex: I did! I did! [Melman puts the urinal cake back in his mouth] I don't understand! He said, "Let's go!" And I said, "What are you, crazy?" And he says, "I'm ten years old!" And he is black with white stripes, and so then we sang and… [The train doors open; people scream and run away thinking they're getting attacked by the animals; The train doors close]

Police Horse: What you got to do is go straight back down West 42nd.

Marty: Uh-huh.

Police Horse: It's on your left after Vanderbilt.

Marty: Okay.

Police Horse: If you hit the Chrysler Building, you've gone too far.

Marty: Uh-huh. Thanks a lot, officer. [walks]

Police Horse: Hey! [Marty looks back] Wait for the light! [Marty walks backwards a bit while realizing his mistake] Freak.

Police radio: Did you say "zebra"?

Police Officer: Yeah, yeah, that's right. A zebra. Right in front of me. Can I shoot it?

Police radio: Negative.

Police Officer: Then I'm going to need some backup.

[On the subway, Alex and his gang are sitting as Alex sees a frightened man reading his newspaper about a basketball game between Golden State Warriors and New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.]

Alex: [reads the frightened man's sports paper then roars] Aww! Knicks lost again.

Melman: What are you going to do?

Conductor: Grand Central Station.

Alex: Did that just say "Grand Central Station" or "my aunt's constipation"?

Gloria: This is it.

Scene 6: Grand Central Station/Alex's Dream

Marty: Grand Central Station. It's grand, and it's central.

[At the subway, the man's playing a drum set; the train doors open; Alex is running with Gloria and preparing to tackle Marty, while Melman tries to run.]

Melman: [squeezes his head out of the train doors] Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow! [head pops out and hits the ceiling sign and destroys a man's drum set while he hits the cymbal]

Alex: [more people screaming and running away] Move aside. We have an emergency here. This is an emergency situation. Hey, hey. Just chill out. It's not that big of an emergency. [Nana hits him with her handbag three times] Hey! Hey! Would you? Hey! Yaaaagh! Ooh!

Nana: Upstairs, downstairs! [kicks Alex's crotch, then sprays in his eyes] How do you like that?! Yahh!!

Alex: Lady! What is wrong with you?! [Nana hits him twice] Ow! Get a grip on yourselves, people!

Nana: You're a bad kitty.

Announcer in the Grand Central: The next train to Connecticut has been…

Marty: [angrily, as the train to Connecticut departs] Dagnabbit! I missed the express! [then calms himself down for another plan] Looks like I’m gonna have to take the Stamford local. [Suddenly, Alex tackles in victorious] Aah!

Alex: I got him! I've got him!

Gloria: He's got him!

Melman: He's got him! He's got him! He's got... Aaagh!

Nana: I got something for you! [hits Melman with her bag, not realizing the damage she caused]

Melman: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! [crashes into a clock that reads 12:21 AM] I'm OK. I'm OK. I'm OK.

Marty: Whoa! What are you guys doing here?

Alex: Oh! I am so glad we found you.

Gloria: We were so... worried about you.

Marty: Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine. Look at me. I'm fine.

Alex: You're fine? Oh, he's fine. Oh! Great. Hey, you hear that? Marty's fine. Ah. That's good to know. 'Cause I was just wondering, uh... [now becomes desperate, disappointed, frustrated and grabs Marty by force about the escape from the zoo without permission] How could you do this to us, Marty?! I thought we were your friends!!!

Marty: [weakly] What's the big deal?! I was coming back in the morning!!!

Alex: Don't you ever do this again!! Do you hear me?!

Gloria: Do you hear him?!

Melman: [with the clock on his head] Guys? We're running out of time!

Gloria: Oh, Melman, you broke their clock?!

Alex: Do you even realize what you've put us through?!?! Don't you ever... do this again!!! Don't you ever, ever do this again!!! [Grand Central Station goes dark; the spotlights has turned on as the Police and Firemen are called]

Gloria: Don't-- Come here!! [grunting and panting as she tries to remove the broken clock off Melman's head until the police came to stop them while Skipper and his agents are reading a newspaper]

Skipper: [frustrated before the friends raise their flippers] We've been ratted out, boys.

Police: Hold your fire! [The police officers, the other federal forces, firefighters, drummer and Nana surrounding Alex and the gang.]

Skipper: [happily while walking back with his friends] Cute and cuddly, boys. Cute and cuddly.

[Mason and Phil, disguised in a trench coat, have bought tickets, only for many guns to point at them.]

Mason: [to Phil] If you have any poo, fling it now.

[Cut back to Grand Central Station with the police officers and the other federal forces confronting Alex and the gang.]

Marty: [whispers] It's the man. [loudly] Good evening, officers!

Alex: No. No. Nope. You don't talk now. OK? You're not good with "putting words together and they're coming out good" thing. [he let the Marty go] You keep it "shh"! [turns to the people] Hey! How you doing? You know what? Everything's cool. We just, uh, had a little situation here. [The Police push an Animal Control, but he's frightened of Alex, so the Police use their shields to block the sacredly man's path] Little internal situation. Actually, my friend went a little crazy. Happens to everybody. The city gets to us all. Went a little cuckoo in the head.

Marty: Hey! Don't be calling me cuckoo in the head.

Alex: Just shush! I will handle this. Oh!

Nana: [walks up and kicks Alex in between the legs] I got him!!!

Police Officers: [He run into view and carry Nana away jail] Go, go, go! Right here, please.

Alex: Oh! Would you give a guy a break? [moaning] We’re just gonna take my little friend here home and… Uh, forget this ever happened. All right? No harm, no foul, right? [policemen and animal control feel shocked] Oh, no, no, no. Hey, it's cool. It's me, Alex the lion. From the zoo. Rrrr! [roars, scaring the people] Rrrr! What's the matter with them? [gets shot in the butt by a purple tranquilizer dart] Ow! Ow… [Starts to faint] Wow! Whoo! I feel really, really weird. Hey! Aw. I love you guys. [in slow motion] I love you so much...

[Sammy Davis Jr.'s The Candy Man starts to play as the screen becomes kaleidoscopic. Suddenly, it becomes black, save for many Martys and Melmans. The camera pans into the centermost Melman, then his pattern becomes the New York skyline as fireworks go off. Suddenly, Gloria, who is Lady Liberty flies off her pedestal like Tinker Bell, and to the viewer, leaving a trail of sparkles that originate from her body. She then hits into the camera with her torch like a wand, turning the screen into glass shatter stars that fly to the screen.]

News Reporter: Last night's dramatic incident in Grand Central is an example of what animal rights wackos have been shouting for years: The animals clearly don't belong in captivity. Now they are to be sent back to their natural habitat, where they will live their lives in the freedom they so clearly desire.

Alex: [Groaning, sticks out his hand weakly] Hey, little help?

Guard: [audience screams and runs away] He's awake! He's awake!!!!

Guard #2: [screams]

News Reporter: [the Guards shoot more tranquilizer darts with different colors off-screen, the blue one lands in the middle of his hand while the human hits the street lamp, faints and crawls away] Do something!!!!

Alex: Oh, man.

[Alex's dream sequence plays again but this time, it’s sped up]

Scene 7: The Boat to Kenya

Alex: [his eyes glow in the dark; groaning] Oh, my head... [bumps his head on the top of his crate] Oh! Ah! [the crate lights has turned on automatically] What the…? Wait. [searches inside for the crate] Where…? What…? I'm in a box! Oh, no. No, no! Not the box. Oh, no, they can't transfer me! NOT ME! [panting] Oh. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. Darkness creeping in. Can't breathe. Can't breathe. Walls closing in around me. [whimpering] So alone. So alone.

Marty: [his eyes open] Alex! Alex, are you there?

Alex: Marty?

Marty: [the crate lights have turned on automatically] Yeah! Talk to me, buddy.

Alex: [relieved] Oh, Marty! You're here!

Marty: What's going on? Are you OK?

Alex: This doesn't look good, Marty.

Gloria: [her eyes open] Alex? [the crate lights have turned on automatically] Marty, is that you?

Marty: Gloria!

Alex: You're here, too!

Marty: I am loving the sound of your voice!

Gloria: What is going on?

Alex: We're all in crates! [Melman opens his eyes]

Gloria: Oh, no! Wha…?

Melman: [the crate lights turn on automatically] Oh… sleeping just knocks me out.

Gloria: Melman!

Alex: Melman!

Marty: Is that Melman?

Gloria: Are you OK?

Melman: Yeah. No, I’m fine. [yawning] I often doze off while I'm getting an MRI.

Alex: Melman, you're not getting an MRI.

Melman: CAT scan?

Alex: No! No CAT scan! It's a transfer. It's a zoo transfer!

Melman: ZOO TRANSFER?! Oh, no! No, no, I can't be transferred. I have an appointment with Dr. Goldberg at 5:00.

Gloria: Melman. Melman! Calm down, Melman. Relax.

Marty: Melman. Calm down, Melman.

Melman: There are prescriptions that have to be filled! No other zoo can afford my medical care! And I am not going HMO!

Marty: Take it easy, Melman. It's going to be okay. We are going to be okizay.

Alex: No, Marty. We're not gonna be "okizay". Now, because of you, we're ruined!

Marty: Because of me? I, I fail to see how this is my fault.

Gloria: You're kidding, right, Marty?

Alex: You! You ticked off the people. You bit the hand, Marty. You bit the hand! [mimicking Marty] "I don't know who I am! I don't know who I am. I got to go find myself in the wild!" Oh, please.

Marty: Hey, hey! I did not ask you to come after me, did I?

Melman: He does have a point.

Alex: What?!

Melman: I did say we should stay at the zoo, but you guys-- [fades to outside of the boxes]

Alex: Melman, just shut it! You're the one who suggested this whole idea to him in the first place.

Gloria: Alex! Leave Melman out of this, please?

Melman: Thank you, Gloria. Besides, Alex, that's not my fault that we were transferred!

Gloria: Melman, shut it. Does anybody feel nauseous?

Melman: I feel nauseous.

Alex: Melman, you always feel nauseous.

[Horn blares from the freighter. The penguins are also being transferred; Kowalski is looking for the label on their crate]

Skipper: Progress report.

Kowalski: It's an older code, Skipper. I can't make it out.

[Skipper notices up the chimps for the crate next to them]

Skipper: Hmm... You, higher mammal.

Mason: Hmm?

Skipper: Can you read?

Mason: No. Phil can read, though. Phil! [Phil appears; Kowalski gestures towards the label; Phil starts using sign language] Hmm... "Ship to Kenya Wildlife Preserve, Africa"!

Skipper: Africa? That ain't gonna fly. Rico!

[Rico pulled out a paper clip from his mouth, makes a shape that looks like a key and unlocks the crate. The penguins started to attack the guards and infiltrate the captain's deck and knocked him out. They are now in control of the ship as the new crew. Cut to Alex and Marty still fighting inside their crates]

Gloria: Guys!

Alex: I was the star in the greatest city on Earth!

Gloria: Guys, listen.

Alex: A king! Loved by my people!

Gloria: Okay, look! Let's just be civil.

Alex: And you've ruined everything!

Gloria: Guys, guys! Quit it up there!

Marty: "Loved"? If the people loved you, it's only because they didn't know the real you!

Gloria: Don't make me come up there. I'd get the whooping on both of y'all!

Alex: I thought I knew the real you! Oh, wait, Marty? Your black-and-white stripes? They cancel each other out. OW! You're nothing!!!!

Gloria: Let's-- Let's just talk about it like adults. You’re so scary!

Melman: Stop it! Stop it! Stop it, stop it, stop it!

Gloria: Hey! Listen. You're not helping the situation!

Skipper: Status!

Private: [nervously] It's doesn’t work, Skipper. I don't know the codes.

Skipper: [angrily] Don't give me excuses! Give me results!!! [Slaps Private around and throws him back] Navigation. [Kowalski tries to investigate, but there's nothing] All right. Let me think… [The Captain mumbles crying for help] …and shut him up!! [Rico slaps the Captain]

Private: [Completes the Override code] I did it!

Skipper: [Alarm blaring] Let's get this tin can turned around!

[As Kowalski turns the wheel, the boat begins to tilt slowly. The crates started to skid across the deck and towards the rail.]

Alex: Ow!

Gloria: Oh!

Melman: Ah!

[Alex peeps out and notices Gloria's box sliding towards his]

Gloria: Oh!

[Gloria crashes into Alex, and the rail breaks, causing the four boxes to fall into the sea, with the animals screaming in terror. The currents start to wash them apart.]

Alex: Guys? Oh, no. Gloria! Melman! Marty!

Marty: Alex!

Alex: Marty?!

Marty: Alex!

Alex: Marty! No, wait. Come back, Marty! Don't go.

Scene 8: Arrive on the Beach

[Night falls, Alex is asleep and a wave bumps His Crate as he falls into the mysterious Island that has a jungle and Alex feels scared and lonely and tries to call his friends]

Alex: Marty? Melman? Gloria? Marty?! Melman?! Gloria?! Marty! Ah! Ooh! Ooh! Melman! Gloria! Ooh! Ooh! Ah! Ah! Hey, anyone! [echoes] Hello! [The next morning, feels weary; exhausted and calling to his friends] Marty, Melman, Gloria. Gloria, Melman, Marty. Marty, Gelman, Gloria. Marty, Melman. Morty, Morty, Gelman. Regis. Kelly. [Suddenly, hears a voice] Matt, Katie, Al.

Melman: Hey! Whoa! Hey! Help! Whoa! Get me out of this thing. Somebody. Hello? Get me out of this thing right now! Hello? Somebody?

[Alex goes up close and has found Melman]

Alex: Melman!

Melman: Alex? Is that you?

Alex: Melman, I got you. Hang on! Hang on. I got you. [bumps his head; dig up from the sand] Melman!

Melman: Ow…

Alex: I got you, buddy.

Melman: Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow... Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!

Alex: Wait a sec, Melman.

Melman: Ow.

Alex: Wait right there. [Picks up the branch] Aha!

Melman: Alex, what are you doing?

Alex: I'm getting you out of the box. Relax.

Melman: Alex? [Gasps]

Alex: Giraffe, corner pocket! Here goes nothing!

Melman: Wait, wait, wait! No, come on! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Alex: Hold still!

Melman: Wait, Alex!

Alex: Hold still. Hold still. Hold still.

Melman: No, no, come on. Come on!

Alex: Here I come! [yelling]

Melman: Look! Look! Look! Look! It's Gloria! It's Gloriaaaaa!!! Oh, hey, it is Gloria. Oh, my...

Alex: Gloria! [Knocking the crate door, but Gloria kicks the door, screaming while flies, Melman screaming and crash, his long crate broke into pieces!] Gloria! [getting hit by a piece right in the heart from his chest] Oh!

Gloria: Alrighty, boys, fun's over.

[The crab and the two starfishes go back into the ocean]

Alex: Gloria!

Gloria: [takes off the seaweed] Alex!

[Suddenly, while hugging, Alex and Gloria see Marty riding on dolphins to surf]

Marty: Whoa! [Hawaiian Five-O playing]

Gloria: Marty?!

Alex: Marty!

Marty: Yeah! All right! That's right! Whoo! Left! Left! Left. No, no, no, no, no, your left! Your left! Your left! Woohoo! Right here's good. You know, I don't really have anything on me right now. I'll have to get you later. [Dolphins chattering of saying goodbye] Ah-eheheheheh--to you too.

Alex: Marty! Marty!

["Chariots of Fire" playing]

Marty: Alex!

Alex: [slow motion] Marty!

Marty: [slow motion] Alex!

Alex: Marty!

Marty: Al!

Alex: [firmly] Marty!

Marty: [confused] Alex?..

Alex: [angrily] MARTY!!!!!!!

Marty: [Shocked, fleeing away while realizing that Alex is still furious with him for the zoo transfer] Oh, sugar honey iced tea!!!

[Suddenly, Alex starts making it worse]

Alex: [normal motion] Marty!!!

Marty: [normal motion] Hey! Hold up! Hold up! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Alex: I'm going to kill you!!! You come here!!! Don't run away from me!!!

Marty: Whoa, wait! Wait, wait! Calm down! Calm down!

Gloria: Marty!

Alex: Do you think you can keep running?! I'm going to just kill you more!

Melman: Marty!

Gloria: Oh, look at us! We're all here together. Safe and sound.

Melman: Yeah, here we are. Where exactly is "here"? [Everyone is surprised as they turn while they see many trees of Madagascar, but Melman knows it's...] San Diego.

Gloria: San Diego?

Melman: White sandy beaches, cleverly simulated natural environment, wide-open enclosures. I'm telling you, this could be the San Diego Zoo. Complete with fake rocks. [tapping a rock] Wow! That looks real.

Alex: San Diego? What could be worse than San Diego?

Marty: I don't know. This place is crackalackin'! Oh, I could hang here. I could hang here.

Alex: [angrily; starts chasing Marty] I’M GONNA KILL YOU, MARTY!!!

Marty: [getting chased by Alex] Take it easy! Take it easy!

Alex: [angrily] I’m gonna strangle you!!!!

Marty: [getting chased by Alex] Calm down! Calm down!

Alex: [angrily] Then bury you, then dig you up and clone you and kill your clones!!!

Marty: [getting chased by Alex] 20-second timeout. 20-second timeout.

Alex: AND THEN I'M NEVER TALKING TO YOU AGAIN!!!

Gloria: [grabs Alex] STOP IT!!! Look. We're just going to find the people, get checked in and have this mess straightened out.

Alex: Oh, great. This is just great. San Diego. Now I'll have to compete with Shamu and his smug little grin. I can't top that? Can't top it! I'm ruined! I'm done! I'm out of the business! It's your fault, Marty! You've ruined me!

Marty: Come on, Alex. Do you honestly think I intended all of this to happen? You want me to say that I'm sorry? Is that what you want? OK, I'm...

Alex: Shh!

Marty: He just shushed me.

Gloria: Marty, look. [He doesn't want to hear it, right now. So...] You've got to be just a little...

Alex: [cuts her off] Shush!

Gloria: …bit more und-- Don't you shush me!

Alex: [trying to listen harder] Do you hear that? Don't you hear that? [the others realize he's trying to listen to the music as they run into the jungle, while they're hearing the music that has a similar beat to Stayin’ Alive by Bee Gees]

Scene 9: Checking Into the Jungle/I Like To Move It

Marty: I hear it now!

Gloria: Where there's music, there's people.

Alex: We’ll go right to the head honcho.

Melman: A sidewalk would be nice.

Gloria: Yeah, what a dump.

Alex: They should call it the San Di-lame-o Zoo. First, they tell you, "Hey! We got this great open plan thing. Let the animals run wild!" Next thing you know, it’s flowers in your hair. Everybody's hugging everybody!

Marty: This place kind of grows on you. This way, guys! Come on!

Alex: [gets hit in the mouth by a branch] OW!! Ooh! [screams then cries in his hands] Aah! [his foot hits a rock] Oh, oh! AAH!!! [his foot pricks a thorn] Aah! What the...? [jumps through spider webs] Oh! Aah! Ew! Ew! [sputters as he tries to get the webs off himself then knocks down a tree on himself] OH, NO!! AAAHH!!!

[Gloria, Melman and Marty arrive at the party, they can see dancing shadows from the giant leaves.]

Gloria: OK. Let's make a good impression on the people. Smiles, everyone. Let's get it together. Is that the best you can do, Melman?

Melman: Oh, I'm not smiling. It's gas.

Gloria: Okay. Well, great. Let's make gas look good.

[Gloria opens up the leaves and they see a huge small group of strange furry creatures, who are the lemurs, dancing after the final events of All Hail King Julien]

Marty: Wow!

Gloria: It's not people. It's animals!

Melman: California animals. Dude!

Marty: This is like a Puffy party!

King Julien: [singing] I like to move it, move it I like to move it, move it Ya like to

Lemurs: Move it!

King Julien: I like to move it, move it I like to move it, move it I like to move it, move it Ya like to

Lemurs: Move it!

King Julien: I like to move it, move it You like to move it, move it She like to move it, move it He like to

Lemurs: Move it!

King Julien: All girls all over the world Original King Julien 'pon yer case, man I love how all the girls that love to move their body When ya move your body, ya do Move it nice and sweet and sassy, all right

Gloria: What kind of zoo is this?

Melman: I just saw 26 blatant health code violations.

Marty: I'm loving San Diego. This place is off the chizaine!

Melman: 27!

King Julien: Woman, physically fit, physically fit, physically, physically, physically fit Woman Physically fit, Physically fit...

Marty: We should've brought chips and dip!

Gloria: [looking around, realizing they left someone behind] Wait. Where's Alex? [pulls Marty away] What happened to him? He was right behind us. Wasn't he right behind us?

Marty: I don't know where he's at, but he's missing one heck of a party.

Lemur: THE FOSSA! THE FOSSA! THE FOSSA ARE ATTACKING!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! [screaming]

[The lemurs went running to hide and screaming. The fossas enter and surround to see the little lemur named Mort. Who is scared.]

Fossa: Fossa hungry. Fossa eat.

Alex: [enters] Ech! I hate spiderwebs. Yeah. Thanks a lot, guys. Thanks for waiting up. Really appreciate it. [Pulls away the leaves to see the Fossa.] Hey. Hi. We just got in from New York, and we're looking for a supervisor. Because we've been sitting on that beach there for… hours, and nobody's even bothered to show up. I don't know if things are, uh… Yeah, I don't know how things are normally run around here… [Marty, Gloria and Melman froze then in shock they saw a spider crawling on his back. Gloria slowly picked up a stick to whack it.] …but obviously, there's been some sort of major screw-up. Which is cool! So if you could just point us towards the administrative offices, we'll just, uh... [Before he can finish, he notices the spider crawling on his back]

Spider: Well, howdy-do.

Alex: [screaming in horror, the fossas surprised, then roaring in slow motion by scary monster the fossas running away] SPIDER! SPIDER!! SPIDER ON MY BACK!!!

King Julien: Maurice? Did you see that?!

Maurice: He scared the fossa away.

[Alex continues screaming in horror as Gloria uses the stick to hit him, but the spider has finally escaped!]

Melman: Come on, Gloria. Get him.

Spider: GET IT! GET IT! GET IT!! GET IT!!!

Melman: That's it! Catch it, Gloria! Smack it! Get it, get it! Whip it! Whip it good! Where'd it go?

Mort: King Julien, what are they? WHAT ARE THEY?!?!

King Julien: They are aliens. Savage aliens from the savage future.

Maurice: They've come to kill us. And take our women. And our precious metals.

[Lemurs gasps. Mort he starts sobbing while lands on Julien's feet.]

King Julien: Get up, Mort. Do not be near the king's feet, OK? [The lemurs are hiding the bush] Shh! We're hiding. Be quiet, everyone. Including me. Shh! Who's making that noise? Oh, it's me again.

Melman: There it is! Get it! Come on, Gloria!

Alex: Stop it! Stop it! That's enough! Enough with the stick.

Melman: She got it. I think she got it. I think she got it.

Alex: Is it still on me? Oh, I hate spiders.

Gloria: It's okay. It's gone.

Mort: They are savages. Tonight we die. [He grabs Julien's leg]

King Julien: The feet. I told you... I told you to... I told every...! Didn't I tell you about the feet.

Maurice: He did tell you about the feet.

Mort: E-he.

King Julien: Wait. I have a plan.

Maurice: Really?

King Julien: I have devised a cunning test to see whether these are savages killers.

Scene 10: The Locals

Mort: [After Julien kicks him out from hiding nearby] No! OOH! [Sees Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman and he gets scared and grabs his tail in fear.]

Marty: Hi there.

Alex: [clears throat to stop his friend] You let me handle it. [whispers] Alex handles it. Marty does nothing. [He walks over to a scared Mort and zooms in his face; kindly] Hi there! [Mort looks at Alex's teeth and starts crying] Oh, jeez. Oh. Oh, Sorry.

Melman: Oh, Alex. What did you do?

Alex: Oh, Shh! Shh! Shh! No, no, no. Stop. Stop. Shh! It's OK. It's OK. I'm just a silly... just a silly lion. [Mort he starts screaming, while crying even louder] Oh, jeez!

Marty: [knowing that Alex just made it worse] Aw, Alex.

Gloria: [Marty and Melman angrily criticize Alex, but walks to Mort] Oh, you poor little baby. Did that big mean lion scare you?

Mort: Mm-hmm. [muttering]

Gloria: He did? He's a big, bad old puddy tat, isn't he? [She picks Mort up] Come on. Mama'll hold you. Aww, look at you.

Melman: [as Gloria is cuddling Mort] They are so cute from a reasonable distance.

Gloria: Aren't you the sweetest little thing. Makes me want to dye it in coffee.

King Julien: [He watching Gloria little Mort] They are just a bunch of pansies.

Maurice: I don't know, Julien. [referring to Alex] There's something about that guy with the crazy hair-do that... I find suspicious.

King Julien: Nonsense, Maurice! [He turns to the lemurs] Come on, everybody! Let's go and meet the PANSIES! [laughing]

[All the lemurs cheering and come out of their bush places to meet them in celebration.]

Maurice: [blowing the shell horn] Presenting your royal highness, our illustrious King Julien XIII, self-proclaimed lord of the lemurs, et cetera, et cetera. Hooray, everybody.

Marty: He's got style.

Alex: What is he, like, king of the guinea pigs?

Melman: I think it's a squirrel.

King Julien: Welcome, giant pansies! Please feel free to bask in my glow!

Alex: Definitely a squirrel.

Melman: Yep, squirrel.

King Julien: We thank you with enormous gratitude for scaring away the Fossa.

Gloria: The whossa?

King Julien: The Fossa. They're always annoying us by trespassing, interrupting our parties, and ripping our limbs off...

Alex: Yeah, sounds great. Look, we're just, uh, we’re just trying to find out where the people are, so if you could, uh--

Maurice: [to Alex] Oh my, what big teeth you have. Man!

King Julien: [he slaps] Shame on you, Maurice! Can you not see that you have insulted the freak?! [to Alex] You must tell me, who the heck are you?

Alex: I'm Alex. The Alex and this is Gloria, Marty, and Melman.

Maurice: And where exactly are you giants from, hmm?

Alex: We're from New York and, uh, we--

King Julien: [makes a "T" with his hands, interrupting Alex, then turns to the crowd of lemurs.] All hail the New York Giants!

Lemurs: NEW YORK GIANTS!!!! [cheering]

Alex: Is there some sort of inbreeding program? [to Marty, Melman, and Gloria] Well, I say we just got to ask these bozos where the people are.

Julien: Excuse me? We bozos have the people, of course!

Alex: Whoa!

Melman: Hey! The bozos have the people!

Alex: Oh, well, great. Good. Phew. Heh.

King Julien: They're up there. [points to some human skeletons hanging from parachutes snagged on the branches of a large tree] Don't you love the people? Not a very lively bunch, though.

Alex: Oh, wow. So do you have any live people?

King Julien: Um... No. Uh, only dead ones.

Maurice: Man, if we had a lot of live people, it wouldn't be called "the wild!" Would it? [laughs]

Marty: The wild?

Alex: Whoa! Whoa, hold up there a second, fuzz... bucket. You mean, like, uh, like the "live-in-a-mud-hut, wipe-yourself-with-a-leaf" type wild?

King Julien: Who wipes? [laughing]

Gloria: Oy vey.

King Julien: Oy vey!

Maurice: Oy vey, everybody!

Lemurs: OY VEY!!!!

Alex: Could you excuse me for a moment? [At sunset, runs back to the shore, crying, while Gloria tries to chase him down.] Get me out of here! We got to get out of here!! Help!!!

Gloria: Alex! [She catches Alex as he's about to dive into the ocean] What are you doing?!

Alex: [while Marty is excited] I'm swimming back to New York!! I know my chances are slim. But I have to try!

Gloria: You can't swim!

Alex: I said my chances are slim!!

Melman: [running in panic with leaves covering him] AAAAGHH!!! NATURE!!!! It's all over me! Get it off!! I CAN'T SEE!!! I CAN'T SEE!!!! [Gloria steps on vine cord, pulling the leaves off him; happily] I can see! [now becomes frightened, screams, and buries his head in the sand like an ostrich]

Gloria: [while holding Alex by his throat] Okay, look. There has obviously just been a little mistake. I'm sure the people didn't dump us here on purpose. As soon as they realize what happened, they'll come looking for us, right?

Melman: [with head buried; while Marty is singing "Born Free"] Yeah, right.

Gloria: You know something? I bet they're already on their way. [puts down Alex as he gasps]

Scene 11: Last Will

[Meanwhile, at dusk, the boat sails 2,500 turns into 2,501 miles south to Antarctica by way of the penguins on an important mission.]

Skipper: Well, boys? It's gonna be ice-cold sushi for breakfast. [he and Private take high five] Rico.

[Rico uses the wine with foam to toast their victory!]

[Meanwhile on Madagascar island...]

Melman: Well, since I'm doomed to die on this forsaken island, I, Melman Mankiewicz, being of sound mind and unsound body, have divided my estate equally among the three of you. [Right before he could finish his sentence, a wave came in and go rid of it] Oh… Sorry, Alex.

Marty: Hey! A latrine. Nice work, Melman. Outdoor plumbing.

Alex: No, it's not a latrine. It's a grave! You sent Melman to his grave. Are you happy?

Marty: Aw, come on. This isn't the end. This is a whole new beginning. This could be the best thing that's ever happened to us.

Alex: No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No! This is not the best thing that's ever happened to us!

Melman: Yeah! You abused the power of the birthday wish and brought this bad luck on all of us. So why'd you tell your wish? You're not supposed to do that.

Marty: Wait a minute. I didn't wanna tell you. Remember? You guys made me tell you.

Melman: Oh, OK.

[As Marty talks, Alex has grabbed a tree and draw a line over the beach.]

Marty: Besides, this isn't bad luck. This is good luck. Look around. There's no fences, no schedules. This place is beautiful. Baby, we were born to be here.

Alex: OK. OK. I've had enough of this. This is your side of the island, and this is our side of the island. That is the bad side, where you can prance and skip around like a magical pixie horse! And do whatever the heck you wanna do all day long. And this, this is the good side of the island for those who love New York and care about going home.

Marty: Come on.

Alex: No, no. Back! Back! Back! Back!

Gloria: You know what? This isn't good.

Marty: OK! You all have your side, and I'll have mine! And if you need me, I'll be over here, on the fun side of the island, having a good old time! A gay old time! A yay old time! A Yabba-dabba-doo old time!

Alex: [quietly] That’s not the fun side. [loudly] This is the fun side! This is the fun side, where we're gonna have a great time surviving until we go home. Whoo! I love this side. This side's the best. That side stinks! You're on the Jersey side of this cesspool!!

Marty: WILMA!!!!!!!!

Melman: Well, now what do we do?

Alex: Don't worry, Melman. I have a plan to get us rescued.

[Later at nightfall, Alex builds a statue that looks like the Statue of Liberty from New York]

Alex: Can't wait to see the look on Marty's face when he sees this. [looks over to see Marty, building a roof] Ooh. Just look at him. He's helpless without us. Shut up, Spalding!

[The camera zooms to a decorated basketball]

Gloria: I've been standing here for hours, man. How long do I have to pose like this?

Alex: She is... [kissing] Finito! I defy any rescue boat within a million miles to miss this baby. When the moment is right, we will ignite the beacon of liberty and be rescued from this awful nightmare! What do you think? Pretty cool, huh? How's the liberty fire goin', Melman?

Melman: Great! Idiot...

Alex: I heard that!

Melman: Ugh. Why can't we just borrow some of Marty's fire?

Alex: That's wildfire! We're not using wildfire on Lady Liberty! Now rub, Melman!

Melman: [groans in frustration] I've been doing... I can't – I can't – I can't do it! I ju-- I CAN'T DO IT! [slams the planks down...and they suddenly ignite] Fire! Fire! [Alex and Gloria were surprised by this] FIRE! FIIIIIIRE!!! [laughs, then notices the burning planks are still attached to his hooves] Ah. Oh, my... Ow! Ooh, FIRE!! [screaming]

Alex: NOT YET! NO, NO! NO!

Melman: FIRE! AAAAHHHHH!!!! [Sets the statue that Alex made on fire]

Alex: No, no! No! Not yet! [gasps before landing on his face]

Gloria: Melman, hold still! JUMP! Alex, jump! [Alex does so] Don't worry, cats always land on their-- [Alex falls flat on his face after jumping off the burning rescue beacon instead of using his feet to land safely like other cats] Face? Man, what kind of cat are you?

Alex: [after Melman burned the rescue beacon in panic] YOU MANIAC!!! YOU BURNED IT UP!!! DARN YOU!!! DARN YOU ALL TO HECK!!!

Melman: [callously] Can we go to the fun side now?

Scene 12: The King

[Meanwhile in the jungle, the lemurs have gathered at an old airplane for a meeting.]

Maurice: Everybody, calm down. Come on. Into your chairs. Yes. Everybody please, calm down. Let go of his tail. Separate those two, would you, please? You over here, and you over there. Everybody, Shh... Calm down, people, OK? Ugh. Now, presenting your royal highness, the illustrious blah, blah, blah. You know, et cetera, et cetera. Hooray. Let's go.

King Julien: Now, everybody, we all have great curiosity about our guests, the New York giants. Yes, Willie?

Willie the lemur: I like them.

Mort: I like them. I like them! I liked them first! Before I even met them I liked them!

King Julien: Yes, yes. Yes! We get it…

Mort: When I saw them, I liked them right away. You hate them compared to how much I like them…

Julien: Oh, shut up! You're so annoying!! [Pauses out of the park and Mort chuckles] Now, for as long as we can remember, we have been attacked and eaten by the dreaded fossa.

Lemur: THE FOSSA! THE FOSSA ARE ATTACKING!! [screams] AAHHH!!

[Everyone all screamed and panic, the one of the lemurs jumps out the old airplane and the glass breaks apart.]

Lemur 2: [holds up a book titled "To Serve Lemur"] It's a cookbook! IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!!!

Julien: All right! Please. Please, Maurice.

Maurice: Shh! Quiet!! Come on, y'all. They're not attacking us this very instant.

[All lemurs sigh in relief as Julien continues to prepare his plan that will succeed]

King Julien: So, my genius plan is this: We will make the New York Giants our friends and keep them close. Then, with Mr. Alex protecting us, we will be safe and never have to worry about the dreaded fossa ever again! [Everyone all agrees.] I thought of that! I thought of that! Yes! Me! I did.

Maurice: Hold on, hold on, everybody. Hold on. I'm just thinking now. I mean, does anyone wonder why the fossa were so scared of Mr. Alex? I mean, maybe we should be scared too. What if Mr. Alex is even worse than the fossa?! [Lemurs gasp in shock] I'm telling you, that dude just gives me the heebiedabajeebies!

King Julien: Maurice, you did not raise your hand. Therefore, your heinous comment will be stricken from the record. [Chameleon uses the typewriter] Does anyone else have the heebie-jeebies? No? Good. So shut up. When the New York giants wake up, we will make sure that they wake up in paradise. [Laughing] Now, who would like a cookie?

[All lemurs cheering for a cookie.]

[And in the meantime at the beach, Alex makes the sign of "Help!", waiting for the boat that was hijacked by the penguins. And Marty tries to cheer up Alex for an apology]

Marty: Yo, Al. Melman and Gloria are over there having a good time. There's room on the fun side for one more.

Alex: No, thanks.

Marty: Look, I've been thinking. Maybe if you gave this place a chance, I don't know, you might even enjoy yourself.

Alex: Marty, I'm tired. I'm hungry. I just want to go home.

Marty: Could you just give it a chance? Think about it. It really isn't the fun side without you. [Leaves away from Alex, The P breaks and falls apart, which now says "Hell".]

Scene 13: Marty's Beach House

[Alex comes to Marty's, sign says "No Soliciting"]

Everyone but Alex: [laughing]

Melman: I know. And then... [Alex knocks it] Shh. Shh. It's him.

Marty: Who is it?

Alex: It's the pizza man. Who the heck do you think it is?

Marty: [opens the slot door and sees Alex's eye] Yes? Can I help you?

Alex: Can I come to the fun side?

Marty: [closes the slot door; opens the door a little bit which is locked] Beg your pardon?

Alex: You know, I've been kind of a jerk, Marty. But I've been thinking about what you said, and... I'm sorry.

Marty: [Closes the door. But unfortunately prepares to unlock and opens the door!] Welcome to Casa del Wild! Take a load off. Hey, hey, wipe your feet.

Gloria: Alex!

Marty: [In Spanish] Mi casa is su casa.

Alex: Very impressive.

Marty: Hey, have a drink. It's on the house.

Alex: [Drinks the water from the coconut shell, but it's seawater instead of potable water and he spits it out!] This is seawater.

Marty: Oh, you don't swallow it. It's just temporary till the plumbing's done. Hey, y'all look hungry. How would you like some of nature's goodness?

Gloria: You have food?

Marty: The Fun Side Special, coming up. Seaweed on a stick.

Alex: Seaweed?

Marty: On a stick. Don't love it till you try it.

Melman: That's unbelievable!

Gloria: Mmm… So good.

Marty: Well, thanks. It does kind of hit the spot, doesn't it? [Without roasting it, Alex coughs up seaweed, because he wants steak as a carnivore.] Well, maybe it could use a little lemon.

Alex: No, it's great. It's really great. Doesn't get any better than this.

Marty: Oh, but it does. Check this out.

[He pulls down a lever, opening up the roof to show a view of the stars.]

Gloria: Wow! Would you look at that?

Alex: It's like billions and billions of helicopters.

Marty: It's a shooting star. Make a wish. Quick!

Alex: Ooh! How about a thick, juicy steak?

Marty: You know what, Alex? I promise you I'm going to find you a steak tomorrow if it kills me.

Alex: Thanks, Marty.

Melman: [yawns] It is getting late. I guess I'm gonna... [snores]

Gloria: I think I'm gonna hit the sack too. Sweet dreams, everyone.

[Alex dreams of licking steak]

Marty: [echoes] Alex. [Alex surprised; accidentally licks Marty as the others are shocked and confused] What are you doing?

Alex: 27, 28, 29, 30. Hmm. 30. 30 black and only 29 white. Looks like you're black with white stripes after all. Dilemma solved. Good night. [pretends to sleep with his eyes open]

[From the trees, Julien and Maurice look below at the sleeping Alex with Marty, Melman and Gloria on the beach.]

King Julien: You see, Maurice, Mr. Alex was grooming his friend. He is clearly a tender, loving thing. How can you have the heebie-jeebies for Mr. Alex? Look at him. He's so cute and plushy.

Maurice: I don't think he was grooming him, Julien. Look more like he was tasting him to me.

King Julien: Suit yourself, no matter. I don't care. Soon we will put my excellent plan to action. All we have to do is wait until they are deep in their sleep... [a long pause] HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE?!

[Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman thought there are lemurs, but they see nothing. So they have to go to sleep again.]

Private: [on finally arriving at Antarctica] Well, this sucks.

Scene 14: Kidnapped/The Warm Welcome

[Cut to black of the next morning]

King Julien: Wake up, Mr. Alex. Wake up, Mr. Alex. Rise and shining. Wakey-waking, Mr. Alex! [Loudly] WAKE UP!!!! ALEX!!!! [Alex muffled gasp] You suck your thumb?

Alex: AHH!

Everyone but Alex: AHH!!!

Everyone: AAHHHH!!!!

[Shocked, the zoo animals get up.]

Alex: Where are we? What the heck is going on?

King Julien: Take it easy.

Alex: What is this?

Melman: Who built a forest?

King Julien: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't be alarmed, giant freaks! While you were asleep, we simply took you to our little corner of heaven. Welcome to Madagascar.

Marty: Mada-who-ah?!

Gloria: What?

King Julien: No, not who-ah, ascar.

[The zoo animals stare from the open view of Madagascar.]

Alex: Marty. It's...

Marty: It's just like my mural back at the zoo.

Gloria: Oh, no, fella, that is the real deal right there.

King Julien: Look at that, that's not a bad view.

Alex: I mean, that's the thing that you were always looking at, but it's actually there. I mean, that's like the real version of your...

Marty: Hey, how about once around the park? Let's get our blood pumping, get those lungs breathing all this fresh air! Who's with me?!

Alex: Ah, naw. I really, I don't think I could... You're it!

Marty: Hey! Want to play around? Ho! Hey!

Alex: Ha-ha! Oof!

Marty: Got you there! Ha-ha!

Alex: Come here! Ha-ha-ha!

Marty: You're it.

Alex: [Chuckles, while riding on Marty's back] Hey, hey, hey!

Marty: Hey, stop that! Hey, you’re crazy!

Alex: OK, Marty, I'm it. I'm it. I'm it. You win. [Groans in exhaustion]

Marty: Come on, Alex, get in the groove.

Alex: I haven't eaten in two days. My blood sugar's real low. I just don't have the energy.

Marty: I don't think that's your problem. First of all, that's not how you run in the wild. Let's go, man. Put the rubber to the road! You just have to let out that inner lion. Now, who's the cat?

Alex: Marty, I really don't...

Marty: You are, that's who. Come on! Here we go! That's it. Now let's build up some steam!

Alex: Alright.

Marty You the cat.

Alex: Who's the cat?

Marty: You the cat.

[Marty went up ahead whooping as Alex kept repeating "Who's the cat?" over and over again. His eyes lean close to Marty and his eyes changed of being crazy.]

Alex: I'M THE CAT!! [Zooms against Marty] Surprise!

Marty: Yahhh!! [Crashes with Alex]

Alex: Hoo! You're it! You're it! Can't juke the cat. Cat's too quick! Whoo! Hoo-ha! Ooh, yeah! Hoo-ha! I feel like a mile-high pastrami on rye on the fly from the deli in the sky! Roww! Let's go wild!

Marty: Now you're talking!

[Alex and Marty are now doing the Tarzan Yell as they enter the wild party.]

Alex: Whoo! Man! I feel... [laughing] different! Noogie, noogie, noogie. Noogie, noogie, noogie! Whoo! Kind of charged up or something. Hoo!

Gloria: Ah, Marty, Marty, Marty! Like you said, baby.

Alex: It's Crack-a-lacking. Ain't that right, Melman? Whoo!

Melman: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm in heaven.

King Julien: You see, Maurice, Alex is now our friend and the fossas are nowhere to be seen. It could be said that my plan is working in a very good working kind of way.

Alex: Yeah!

Marty: Alex. You got to try some of this.

[Alex spits the pineapple to King Julien]

Alex: I feel good. Feel like a king again!

King Julien: [Throws the pineapple to Maurice] King?

Marty: Yeah! You should see his act. Come on, Alex. Why don't you show him some of your act?

Alex: [Chuckles] Oh. No, I really don't think I could... OK.

Scene 15: Alex Confuses Marty for Steak

[Moments later, they have prepared a special ceremony to show Julien that lions are also kings.]

Marty: Ladies and gentlemen, primates of all ages. The wild proudly presents: The king!

Both: Alex the Lion!

Alex: [whispers] Ahhhh!

Marty: E♭, fellas.

[Fanfare playing in E♭]

Marty: Yeah! The king is in the house!

King Julien: See, if he is the king, then where is his crown? I've got a crown. Got a very nice one! And it's here on my head! Look at it! Have I got it on?

[From the rocks, the fossa approached ready to eat the lemurs again, but they are surprised by Alex.]

Marty: Do the roar, man! Do the roar! [Alex no longer use his normal roar, so instead, he uses the real roar, Marty, Melman, Gloria, Mort, and The Lemurs gasp in shock. Frightened, the fossas ran away again.] Wow. I've never heard that one before. Yeah! Go wild, man! Come on! Break out the wave! [Lemurs cheer. But unfortunately, since Alex hasn't eaten for along time, he thought the lemurs look like steaks to him. His claws show up and the camera switches to the lemur wave, but suddenly, screams, and the music stops! Everyone but Marty became shocked, the camera zooms out to show that Alex bit Marty on the butt and Mort happily claps for a short period.] Excuse me. You're biting my butt!

Alex: [long pauses as his eyes go back to normal; muffled] No, I'm not.

Marty: Yes, you are. [Alex spits and licks paws in the tongue]

Gloria: Alex, what did you do?

Marty: You just bit me on the butt!

Alex: No, I didn't. Did I?

Melman: You kind of did.

Marty: He just bit me on the butt! What the heck is wrong with you?!

Alex: [stutters] I... Oh! Uh...

Marty: Why'd you bite me?

Maurice: [coming out of the crowd] Man, it's because you are his dinner.

Melman: What?!

Gloria: Excuse me?!

Melman: That's dumb.

King Julien: Come, come, Maurice. What is a simple bite on the buttocks among friends? [shakes his tail at Maurice] Here, gimme a nibble.

Maurice: [pushes King Julien] The party is over, Julien. Your brilliant plan has failed.

Marty: What are you talking about?

Maurice: Your friend here is what we call a deluxe hunting and eating machine, and he eats steak... which is you.

Gloria: Get out of here.

[Julien thinks for a moment, realizing how selfish he was being and contemplates what Maurice had mentioned about Alex during the last night's meeting on the broken plane as it's so much for everyone not having the heebie jeebies. His uncle was right all along about breaking the rule of helping outsiders to protect the kingdom that it got forbidden.]

King Julien: Okey-dokey, Maurice. I admit it. The plan failed. All is lost! We are all doomed! The fossas will come back and gobble us with their mouths, because... we are all steak.

Mort: [taking the steak statement as a compliment] I'm steak! Me-me-me-me-me-me-me!

Maurice: Mr. Alex cannot stay here. He belongs with his own kind... [Alex's eyes dilate again and sees Julien, and turned into steak once again for his hunger] On the fossa side of the island.

King Julien: [turned into steak] By the power vested in me, by the law of the jungle, [the lemurs, Mort, Marty, Melman, and Gloria turned into steak] blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... Be gone!!

Marty: What? Come on, do I look like a steak to you?

Alex: [seeing Marty as a steak through his vision] Yeah!

Marty: See, I told you I don't look like a-- [mishears] Wait, wait, wh-- Wh-- What'd you say?

Alex: Oh, yeah! [growls ferociously as he prepares to attack causing the lemurs and zoo animals to get scared]

Mort: [the lemurs pretend to three wise monkeys; frightened] He's going savage...

King Julien: Run for your lives!! [Everyone screams and runs away. Alex roars wildly, getting ready to devour them all.]

Gloria: Marty, run!!

Marty: Yahhh!!

[The Fanfare of National Geographic plays as Alex is preparing to eat Marty once again, but Maurice throws a coconut to stop Alex and paralyze him to go back to normal!]

King Julien: A bullseye! Excellent shot, Maurice.

Maurice: Thank you.

[Alex lifted up his head and Marty in steak form now turns to normal, while running away]

Alex: Marty? I'm so sorry, Marty. What is wrong with me?! Ow...! Oh, no. What I've done, It's true, I'm a monster. I gotta get out of here. [runs away]

["What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong plays as Alex and his gang are going separate ways with Marty, Melman, and Gloria stop running while Alex running through the jungle gets his claws caught on leaves and then a tree. Alex pulls them out only for him to fall down a hill through jagged rocks, a field of flowers, and finally a cactus patch before landing on his feet with a cactus stuck on his back and falling into a river and screams while plummets down a waterfall. He arrives on the Fossa side of the island walks pass a few Fossas (who looked confused, seeing that Alex wasn’t going to eat them), the scene turns back to Marty, Melman and Gloria walks through the jungle witness how dangerous the wild can be such as a hummingbird flew into the snapdragon flowers only for it to be eaten and burps, while Alex uses his instruments to sharpen pieces of wood. Marty, Melman and Gloria saw a mouse escape from a snake, then gets caught by an eagle, and they spot a duckling as they get it to a lake but it gets eaten by a crocodile much to their shock. Alex sits on a rock in an enclosure resembling his from the zoo feeling sad and guilty. The others walk by the grassy field that Marty and Alex played on earlier while Marty looks long towards storm clouds rolling in, feeling guiltier and the circle of life in Madagascar is now broken since the terror reign of the former evil Mountain lemur king Koto.]

Scene 16: The Wild

Marty: What have I done? This is a nightmare! And it's all my fault. Now, because of me, we've lost Alex.

Melman: Well, what are we going to do?

Gloria: We'll find a way to help him. That's what we'll do.

Melman: Oh! OK.

Gloria: Come on, we are New Yorkers, right?

Marty: Yeah.

Gloria: We're tough. We're gritty.

Marty: Yeah!

Gloria: We're adaptable!

Marty: Yeah!!

Gloria: And we are not going to lay down like a bunch of Melmans!

Melman: No, we're not. [horn blaring] Oh. Gloria.

Gloria: That was not me, OK? That was the boat. The boat!

Marty: The boat? The boat's come back for us! Come on, guys, we got to flag it down.

[Marty, Melman, and Gloria race to the beach where they saw the boat, blaring harder and louder]

Marty: There it is!

Melman: Hey, over here!

Gloria: Over here!

Marty: Over here! Over here! Yo! Yo! Yo!

Gloria: Melman, give me a lift. Hurry up! Lift me up!

Marty: Help! Help! Help!

Melman: Oh, my neck. My neck. My neck. You guys. Over here!

Gloria: Over here! Melman! Steady. This way!

Marty: Over here!

Melman: You have no idea how much this hurts.

Marty: Hey, boat! We're over here! [the three zoo animals are thuds]

Gloria: Look! It's turning! It's coming back! IT'S COMING BACK! IT'S COMING BACK!!

Melman: Yes! This way! Come on! Come on, baby! WHOO!! Yes, you guys!

Marty: You guys flag down that boat. I’ll go get Alex.

Gloria: [stopping Marty] Whoa! Hold on there. You cannot go back there by yourself.

Marty: Aw, come on. I know Alex. He hears we're rescued, he'll snap right out of it.

Melman: The people are coming. They can help us.

Gloria: Melman's right. The people will know what to do. Now, come on. We got to flag down that boat.

[The boat already approaches near the beach with a horn blaring to knockback the trees! And finally, the anchor crashes the sand as the penguins land on the beach.]

Skipper: Now, this is more like it.

Gloria: You?! Oh, ma-- Where are the people?!

Skipper: We killed them and ate their livers. [Gloria looks horrified] Gotcha, didn't I? Just kidding, doll, the people are fine. They're on a slow boat to China. Hey! I know you two. Where's that psychotic lion, and our monochromatic friend?

Melman: [he and Gloria looks back to see Marty missing] Marty? He's ri... Where'd he go? I thought he was right behind us.

Gloria: [groans in frustration] He went back for Alex. He's gonna get himself killed!

Skipper: Well, boys, our monochromatic friend's in danger. Looks like we have a job to do. [Private brings out a notebook and a red crayon] Captain's log: Embarking into hostile environment. Kowalski, we'll need to win the hearts and the minds of the natives. Rico, we'll need special tactical equipment. We're going to face extreme peril. Private probably won't survive. [a red crayon snaps, Private looks horrified]

Marty: Alex! Come out, Alex! The boat's here! We can go home!

[The fossa see Marty, as if they are going to eat him; The dream appears many kid steaks that Alex wants them and his claws show up]

Kids: [chanting] Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex!

[Alex's eyes change like he's going to go crazy again, fearing that he will continue injuring his friends, retreats to foosa territory in isolation. Marty searches for him, excited]

Marty: Alex! Alex.

Alex: Marty?

Marty: Snap out of it, Alex. The boat came back. We can get out of here. We can go back to civilization, and everything will be just like it used to be.

Alex: Stay back. Please. I'm a monster.

Marty: Alex, you're no monster. You're my friend. We're a team. You and me, remember?

[Alex tried to attack Marty, but the zebra scuttled back away from the crazed lion.]

Alex: I don't want to hurt you.

Marty: Alex. I ain't leaving without you. Alex? I'm thinking of a song. It's a wonderful song. I'm sure you're familiar with it. ♪Start spreadin' the news. I'm leaving today. We are a great big part of it!♪ Come on, you know the words. Two little words. Please don't make me sing this by myself. [go back to Alex's normal eyes again] You really don't want to hear me sing this by myself. [The fossa appeared from above the rocks] Uh, Alex? Could you come out here for a minute? Hey, Alex, a l-l-little help? AAH!!! HELP ME!!! ALEX!! HEEEEELLLLP!!!!!!!

Alex: [a look of determination appears on face and eyes changed of being crazy yet again]

Scene 17: The Fossas

[Marty runs for his life as the fossa chase after him.]

Marty: Help me!! Anybody, help me!! Somebody!! [Marty turns to see two Fossas riding on his butt and dumping salt and lemon juice on him] Ah! [Marty throws the Fossa off of him] HEEEEELLLLP!!!!!!!

[As the Fossa make a dog pile to eat Marty, Melman is swinging on a vine while doing a Tarzan Yell to save Marty.]

Marty: Melman?

Melman: That's right, baby. [Both crash into the rock]

Gloria: [As she picks up and puts Marty down, the fossa ran towards them] RUN!

Marty: What's the plan?

Gloria: This is the plan!

Fossa: Foosa hungry. Foosa eat.

Marty: This is the plan?!

Skipper: [He comes out of the jungle, into the fossa’s path, and pulled out a flare gun] Foosa halt!

The Fossas: Huh? [amazed by a flare Skipper has fired] Ooh. Foosa aaahh. Foosa ooh. Foosa aaahh.

[As the fossa are distracted by flares glow, the penguins army crawled underneath their noses. And then Rico holds a pike and uses it like a pole to flick himself with the pike over the steering wheel of the cargo ship that Private brings over. Then as the pike lands in the hole in the middle of the steering wheel, Kowalski pulls out a plate, then hands it over to Skipper. Then Private lands on the plate, and then Kowalski brings out a can of whipped cream that Skipper sprays onto Privates head.]

Private: [Then Rico up chucks a cherry, that plops onto Privates whipped cream covered head.] Come and get it!

Fossa: Foosa-Huh?

[Then as the fossa were about to eat Private, Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico spun the wheel knocking out many fossa in the process. And as Gloria, Marty, and Melman are amazed by it other fossa came up from behind startling them, then more showed up in front, then three others came out from a hollow log.]

Gloria: [Using Melman’s head as a hammer, she whacked them on their heads] Take that!

Fossa: Foosa ow!

Private: There's too many of them, Skipper!

Skipper: It's been a real pleasure serving with you, boys.

[Just then as Skipper slaps a fossa, they hear Alex roaring, preparing to trick the Fossa]

Marty: Alex? [hits the Fossa's face]

Alex: That's my kill! Mine. Alex hungry. Alex eat. [Unleashes his claws] Psst! [whispering] It's showtime. Thanks for not giving up on me, Marty.

Marty: Man, you almost gave me a heart attack. You can't just come up here and sneak up on me. Just because you're a lion... [Muffled] Let go of me. Let go of me!

Alex: Shh! We're getting out of here. Guys, just go with me on this. Like I said, it's showtime. Rrr! Mine! My kill! Rrahh! They're all mine!! [Roars as his gang start to scream]

Gloria: AAH!!! IT'S THE KING OF THE BEASTS!!! Oh, no!! [screams]

Marty: Don't eat me, Mr. Lion!

Melman: He's scary!

Alex: Fear me!! Savagery beyond comprehension!

Marty: I am far too young to die!

Melman: You're a monster! A monster, I say!!

Alex: AND, YOU!!!

Fossa: Me?!

[Alex roars at the fossas as he and his friends defeat the fossas]

Gloria: Oh, you want some of this? [Grunts] You better run for your lives!

Marty: Somebody call a cop!

Melman: [hits the Fossa with his head like a golf] He's psychotic!!!

Alex: [grabs the Fossa with a trick, streched out, wind-up, swing to defeat the Fossas, and throws up before falls to the ground; to the Fossas] This is my territory!!! Understand?!? I never, ever want to see you on my turf again!!! [with all his might, the beast roars at the fossa, causing them to be scared and run away] Boo. [The last fossa runs off with the rest of the pack]

Gloria: Woo-hoo!

Marty: Yeah! You the cat!

Gloria: Got my boy back!

King Julien: [Laughing triumphantly] I did it! Give me some love! The plan worked! The plan worked! I'm very clever! I'm the one, baby! Come on. Time to robot! [robot talking] I am very clever king. I am super genius. I am robot king of the monkey things. Compute, compute.

Alex: So, what's for lunch?

[Everyone but Alex is surprised, realizing that they haven’t eaten lunch yet. Cut to the island with Skipper and his penguins preparing a special meal.]

Scene 18: A Special Snack for Alex

Skipper: Close those eyes.

Alex: Why do I have to close my eyes?

Skipper: Do it.

Alex: Yeah. They're closed.

Skipper: Tighter.

Alex: Yes, sir.

Skipper: No peeking.

Alex: Alright. They're closed.

Skipper: Rico.

Rico: [takes the fish; Does a karate chop with two knives; carves; slaps the bottom of the fish turns into 12 sushi fish and drops] Hai. [the tail drops on his head; the knife takes a sushi fish]

Skipper: Open that hatch.

Alex: Aah…

Skipper: [the sushi fish puts inside Alex's mouth] Fire in the hole. [closes the Alex's mouth and chews] Now chew. Chew like you mean it! Savor it.

Alex: Mmm… Mmm.

Marty: And?

Gloria: Well?

Melman: Pretty good, right?

King Julien: There's always Plan B. [Mort laughs]

Alex: Mmm… Mmm. This is better than steak. I love it! I love it!

Skipper: The kitty loves the fishy. [Kowalski and Private got a high-5 as everyone cheers]

Marty: Well, I propose a toast. Now, he may be a pain in the butt at times... And trust me, I know. But this cat proved to me without a doubt that his heart is bigger than his stomach. To Alex.

Everyone: To Alex!

[Everyone spits out their seawater after drinking it]

King Julien: Enough! Stop it!

Marty: Well, what do you guys think? Should we head back to New York?

Alex: I don't know, Marty. I mean, this is your dream. You sure you want to leave?

Marty: I don't care where we are. As long as we're together, it doesn't matter to me.

Alex: Well, in that case... [turns to Rico] Yo. Rico. I'll take 300 orders to go!

Rico: Hai.

King Julien: Yes, yes. But before you leave, I have an announcement to make. So shut up, everyone, please. Thank you. After much deep and profound brain things inside my head, I have decided to thank you for bringing peace to our home. [presents Alex with his crown] And to make you feel good, I'm gonna give you this lovely parting gift.

Alex: Oh, no, really. I can't take your crown.

King Julien: That's OK, I've got a bigger crown! It's got a gecko on it! Look at him shake! Go, Stevie, go!

Scene 19: The Boat

Alex: [waving to the lemurs] Bye, little fuzz buckets!

Gloria: Thanks for everything!

Marty: Bye!

Alex: So long!

King Julien: Okay, bye-bye, now.

Marty: Arrivederci.

King Julien: Bye-bye.

Maurice: Toodle-oo!

Mort: Bye! Goodbye!

King Julien: See you later, crocodile. Maurice, my arm is tired. Wave it for me. Faster, you naughty little monkey!

Alex: You know, by the time we get to New York, it’s gonna be the middle of winter. So I was just thinking, why rush? Maybe we could make a few side stops along the way?

Marty: Maybe Paris.

Gloria: Ooh! You just read my mind.

Alex: I was thinking Spain.

Marty: Yeah. Run with the bulls.

Gloria: What about Fiji?

Melman: Ooh! Canada. Can we? Cheap meds. Eh? Tsk, tsk.

Alex: You know, I wouldn't even mind coming back here sometime.

Melman: Yeah, I could do that.

Gloria: You could say that again. I always wanted to go to Australia.

[last lines]

Private: Skipper! Don't you think we should tell them that the boat's out of gas?

Skipper: Nah. Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave. [they wave at them, then cuts to the credits.]

Scene 20: End Credits

[In the post-credits scene, “I Like To Move It Move It” with every character dancing; The Gloria statue from Alex's Candy man dream shows up, but the sparkle is red & the glass stars are red too, ending the movie. The DWA 2004-2010 logo is shown, then cuts to black]

Marty: I don't know you!

Alex: ♪ I'm leaving today! We are a great big part of it ♪

Marty: [laughs] He's funny. Who is that?

Alex: Come on. You know you know the words.

Marty: New York.

Both: ♪ New York! ♪

Alex: See? Mr. Grumpy Stripes! We make a great team.

Melman: Yeah, here we are. White sandy beaches, cleverly simulated natural environment, wide-open enclosures. I'm telling you, this could be the San Diego Zoo.

Alex: San Diego? What could be worse than San Diego?

Marty: I don't know. This place is crackalackin'! Oh, I could hang here. I could hang here.

Gloria: We're just going to find the people, get checked in and have this mess straightened out.

Alex: Oh, great. This is just great. San Diego. Now I'll have to compete with Shamu and his smug little grin. I can't top that? Can't top it!

Marty: Maybe I should go to law school.
