Scenes with Gloria the Hippo
31 scenesGrand Central Station. It's Grand, and it's Central.
Excuse me. You're biting my butt.
You bit the hand, Marty! You bit the hand!
I'm not smiling, it's gas.
They are so cute from a reasonable distance.
We've been ratted out, boys!
[Gloria asks him where the people are]
We killed 'em and ate their livers. [Gloria stares in shock] Gotcha!
Shame on you, Maurice! Can you not see that you have insulted the freak?
See you later, crocodile! Maurice, my arm is tired. Wave it for me. Faster, you naughty little monkey!
King Julien, what are they? WHAT ARE THEY?!
I say!
Gloria [about Mort]
Aw, aren't you just the sweetest little thing? I just wanna dunk you in my coffee.
They are so cute from a reasonable distance.
We thank you with enormous gratitude for scaring away the Fossa.
Gloria The whossa?
The Fossa. They're alway annoying us by trespassing, interrupting our parties, and ripping our limbs off--
Yeah, sounds great.
Gloria Where are the people?
We killed 'em and ate their livers.
[Gloria looks horrified]
Gotcha! Just kidding doll, the people are fine. They're on a slow boat to China. Hang on, I know you two. Where's that psychotic lion, and our monochromatic friend?
Ow, my head! [he bumps his head on the top of his crate] What the-- I'm in a box! Oh no! Not the box! Oh no, they can't transfer ME! NOT ME! I can't breathe, can't breathe! Darkness creeping in. I can't breathe. Walls closing in around me! So alone. So alone--
Alex, are you there?
Marty?
Yeah! Talk to me, bud!
Oh Marty, you're here!
What's going on? Are you okay?
This doesn't look good, Marty.
Gloria Alex, Marty, is that you?
Gloria! I am lovin' the sound of your voice!
Gloria What is going on?
We're all in crates.
Gloria Oh no!
Man, sleeping just knocks me out.
Melman!
Gloria Are you okay?
Yeah. I often doze off while I'm getting an MRI.
Melman, you're not getting an MRI!
CAT scan?
No! No CAT scan! It's a zoo transfer!
ZOO TRANSFER?! No, I can't be transferred. I have an appointment with Dr. Goldberg at 5:00. There are prescriptions that have to be filled! No other zoo can afford my medical care, and I am NOT going HMO!
Take it easy, Melman. We are gonna be o-kiz-ay!
No Marty, we're not gonna be o-kiz-ay. Now, because of you, we're ruined!
Excuse me, I fail to see how this is my fault.
Gloria You're kidding, right Marty?
You ticked off the people! You bit the hand, Marty! You bit the hand! "I don't know who I am! I don't know who I am? I gotta go find myself in the WILD!"
Yeah, but I didn't ask you to come after me.
He does have a point. I did say we should have stayed at the zoo but, you guys--
Melman, just shut it! You're the one who gave him this idea in in the first place!
Gloria Alex, would you just leave Melman out of this, please!
Thank you, Gloria. Besides, it's not my fault that we were TRANSFERRED!
Gloria Melman, shut it. Does anyone feel nauseous?
I feel nauseous.
Melman, you always feel nauseous.
Gloria Alex, what are you doing!?
I'm swimming back to New York! I know my chances are slim, but I have to try!
Gloria You can't swim!
I said my chances are slim!
Nature! It's all over me, get it off!
[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.]
Here come the people, Marty! Oh, I love the people! It's fun people fun time! Whoo! [Hop into the water. A hippo she named gloria habitat and tap dances on her butt] Let's go, Gloria! Up and at 'em! We're open!
Gloria [yawning]
What day is it?
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. A giraffe he named melman with constant health problems, or so he thinks]
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!
What?
I found a brow-- Another brown spot on my shoulder. Right here. See? Right th-- Right there. You see?
Melman, you know it's all in your head. Hmm?
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.
Helicopter. [A star, which turns out to be a helicopter, flies away.]
Marty. Buddy. Listen. Everybody has days when they think the grass might be greener somewhere else.
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.
Marty. I'm thinking of a song.
Alex. Please. Not now.
Oh, yes. It's a wonderful song. I think you're familiar with it. [scatting]
Oh, no. Oh, no, you don't. No, no, no. I'm not listening! Lalalalalalalalalalala!

Shut up, shut up, shut up!! Hey, I'm sleeping here! We're not all nocturnal, you know!!
Hey, I'll knock your "turnal" right off, pal.
Snake
Yeah, you and what army, stripes?
You mess with him, you mess with me, Howard!
Ah ha ha ha!
Unknown Animal
You're a bigmouth lion!
See? Mr. Grumpy Stripes! We make a great team, the two of us.
We sure do. No doubt about it.
So, what are you going to do? Just go running off to the wild by yourself?
No.
Good.
You and me. Let's go.
What?
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.
[chuckles]
Yeah. I'm joking. Of course I'm joking. Give me a break. Like we're going to get a train.
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?
Good night, Ally Al.
[sighs and claps twice to turn on the red light and hears a bird]
Oh. They forgot to turn off the ambience again!
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]
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.
Alex. Alex. Alex? Alex. Alex!
You suck your thumb?
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...
What, Melman? What's going on?
It's Marty. He's gone.
Gone?! [hits his head] Agh! What do you mean "gone"?!
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.
[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?
Gloria He wouldn't.
Oh, no! What are we going to do? We gotta-- we gotta-- I mean, we gotta-- we gotta-- we gotta call somebody!
[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...!!
911 Operator
[Cut to 911 dispatch office; the operator only hears Alex roaring on speaker.] [takes off headset in confusion]
Hello? [cut to zoo; on speaker] Hello?
911 Operator
What the…?!
[hangs up, then nervously looks at the phone booth for a second before ripping it out and throwing 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.
We got to go after him.
Go after him?
He's not thinking straight. We got to stop him from making the biggest mistake of his life. He's probably out there lost and cold, confused. [sighs; sadly] Poor little guy.
Gloria [The Bee Gees's Stayin’ Alive is playing while Marty walks through New York. Melman, Alex, and Gloria have just escaped the zoo. Melman helps Alex to hang his neck, and Alex falls down to the ground. Gloria bashes the outside wall of the zoo.]
Melman, come on!
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.
What's the fastest way to Grand Central?!
Ooh! You should take Lexington.
Gloria Melman!!
Okay. "We". We should take Lexington.
What about Park?
No, Park goes 2 ways. You can't time the lights.
[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]
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!
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!
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?
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!
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]
[On the train, 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.] [reads the frightened man's sports paper then roars]
Aww! Knicks lost again.
What are you going to do?
Conductor
Grand Central Station.
Did that just say: "Grand Central Station" or "My Aunt's Constipation"?
Gloria This is it.
I hear it now!
Gloria Where there's music, there's people.
We’ll go right to the head honcho.
A sidewalk would be nice.
Gloria Yeah, what a dump.
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!
This place kind of grows on you. This way, guys! Come on!
[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!!!
[Meanwhile on Madagascar island...]
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.
Hey! A latrine. Nice work, Melman. Outdoor plumbing.
No, it's not a latrine. It's a grave! You sent Melman to his grave. Are you happy?
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.
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No! This is not the best thing that's ever happened to us!
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.
Wait a minute. I didn't wanna tell you. Remember? You guys made me tell you.
Oh, OK.
[As Marty talks, Alex has grabbed a tree and drawn a line over the beach.]
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.
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.
Come on.
No, no. Back! Back! Back! Back!
Gloria You know what? This isn't good.
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!
[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!!
WILMA!!!!!!!!
Well, now what do we do?
Don't worry, Melman. I have a plan to get us rescued.
Everyone (sans Alex)
[Alex comes to Marty's, sign says "No Soliciting"] [laughing]
I know. And then... [Alex knocks on the door] Shh. Shh. It's him.
Who is it?
It's the pizza man. Who the heck do you think it is?
Can I come to the fun side?
You know, I've been kind of a jerk, Marty. But I've been thinking about what you said, and... I'm sorry.
[Closes the door. But then unlocks and opens the door!]
Welcome to Casa del Wild! Take a load off. Hey, hey, wipe your feet.
Gloria Alex!
Very impressive.
Hey, have a drink. It's on the house.
[Drinks the water from the coconut shell, but it's seawater instead of potable water and he spits it out!]
This is seawater.
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?
The Fun Side Special, coming up. Seaweed on a stick.
Seaweed?
On a stick. Don't love it till you try it.
That's unbelievable!
Gloria Mmm… So good.
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.
No, it's great. It's really great. Doesn't get any better than this.
Oh, but it does. Check this out.
Gloria [He pulls down a lever, opening up the roof to show a view of the stars.]
Wow! Would you look at that?
It's like billions and billions of helicopters.
It's a shooting star. Make a wish. Quick!
Ooh! How about a thick, juicy steak?
You know what, Alex? I promise you I'm going to find you a steak tomorrow if it kills me.
Thanks, Marty.
Gloria I think I'm gonna hit the sack too. Sweet dreams, everyone.
[Alex dreams of licking steak] [echoes]
Alex. [Alex is surprised; accidentally licks Marty as the others are shocked and confused] What are you doing?
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. [Fakes sleeping.]
[Cut to black of the next morning]
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?
AHH!
Everyone (sans Alex)
AHH!!!
Everyone
AAHHHH!!!!
Take it easy.
What is this?
Who built a forest?
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.
Mada-who-ah?!
Gloria What?
No, not who-ah, ascar.
It's just like my mural back at the zoo.
Gloria Oh, no, fella, that is the real deal right there.
Look at that, that's not a bad view.
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...
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?!
Ah, naw. I really, I don't think I could... You're it!
Hey! Want to play around? Ho! Hey!
Ha-ha! Oof!
Got you there! Ha-ha!
Come here! Ha-ha-ha!
You're it.
Hey, stop that! Hey, you’re crazy!
OK, Marty, I'm it. I'm it. I'm it. You win. [Groans in exhaustion]
Come on, Alex, get in the groove.
I haven't eaten in two days. My blood sugar's real low. I just don't have the energy.
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?
Marty, I really don't...
You are; that's who. Come on! Here we go! That's it. Now let's build up some steam!
Alright.
Marty You the cat.
Who's the cat?
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 dilate.]
I'M THE CAT!!
[Marty sprints through the gorgeous landscape, elation on his face. He's running just like he did in his fantasy back at the zoo. Behind him, Alex catches up and zooms past Marty with blazing speed.]
Surprise!
Yahhh!!
[Marty crashes to Alex until they both tumble to a stop. Alex pops to his feet adrenaline surging.]
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!
Now you're talking!
[Alex and Marty are now doing the Tarzan Yell as they enter the wild party.]
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.
It's Crack-a-lacking. Ain't that right, Melman? Whoo!
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm in heaven.
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.
Yeah!
Alex. You got to try some of this.
Yeah! You should see his act. Come on, Alex. Why don't you show him some of your act?
What have I done? This is a nightmare! And it's all my fault. Now, because of me, we've lost Alex.
Well, what are we going to do?
Gloria We'll find a way to help him. That's what we'll do.
Oh! OK.
Gloria Come on, we are New Yorkers, right?
Yeah.
Gloria We're tough. We're gritty.
Yeah!
Gloria We're adaptable!
Yeah!!
Gloria And we are not going to lay down like a bunch of Melmans!
No, we're not. [horn blaring] Oh. Gloria.
Gloria That was not me, OK? That was the boat. The boat!
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]
There it is!
Hey, over here!
Gloria Over here!
Over here! Over here! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Gloria Melman, give me a lift. Hurry up! Lift me up!
Help! Help! Help!
Oh, my neck. My neck. My neck. You guys. Over here!
Gloria Over here! Melman! Steady. This way!
Over here!
You have no idea how much this hurts.
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!!
Yes! This way! Come on! Come on, baby! WHOO!! Yes, you guys!
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.
Aw, come on. I know Alex. He hears we're rescued; he'll snap right out of it.
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 knock back the trees. And finally, the anchor crashes onto the sand as the penguins land on the beach.]
Now, this is more like it.
Gloria You?! Oh, ma-- Where are the people?!
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?
[He and Gloria look 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!
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 a hostile environment. Kowalski, we'll need to win the hearts and 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 runs for his life as the fossa chase after him.]
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.]
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!
What's the plan?
Gloria This is the plan!
Foosa hungry. Foosa eat.
This is the plan?!
The Fossas
Huh? [amazed by a flare Skipper has fired] Ooh. Foosa aaahh. Foosa ooh. Foosa aaahh.
[As the fossas were distracted by the glow of the flare, the penguins' army crawled right under their noses. Rico then grabbed a pike and used it like a pole to flip himself over the steering wheel of the cargo ship that Private had brought over. When he landed the pike in the hole at the centre of the steering wheel, Kowalski pulled out a plate and handed it to Skipper. Private then landed on the plate, and Kowalski brought out a can of whipped cream, which Skipper sprayed onto Private's head.]
[Then Rico up chucks a cherry, that plops onto Privates whipped cream covered head.]
Come and get it!
Foosa-Huh?
Gloria [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 were 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.] [Using Melman’s head as a hammer, she whacked them on their heads]
Take that!
Foosa ow!
There's too many of them, Skipper!
It's been a real pleasure serving with you, boys.
Close those eyes.
Why do I have to close my eyes?
Do it.
Yeah. They're closed.
Tighter.
Yes, sir.
No peeking.
Alright. They're closed.
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]
Open that hatch.
Aah…
[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.
Mmm… Mmm.
And?
Gloria Well?
Pretty good, right?
There's always Plan B. [Mort laughs]
Mmm… Mmm. This is better than steak. I love it! I love it!
The kitty loves the fishy. [Kowalski and Private got a high-5 as everyone cheers]
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!
Well, what do you guys think? Should we head back to New York?
I don't know, Marty. I mean, this is your dream. You sure you want to leave?
I don't care where we are. As long as we're together, it doesn't matter to me.
Well, in that case... [turns to Rico] Yo. Rico. I'll take 300 orders to go!
Hai.
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.
Oh, no, really. I can't take your crown.
That's OK, I've got a bigger crown! It's got a gecko on it! Look at him shake! Go, Stevie, go!
Marty?
Yeah! Talk to me, buddy.
Oh, Marty! You're here!
What's going on? Are you OK?
Gloria Alex? Marty, is that you?
Gloria!
You're here, too!
I am loving the sound of your voice!
Gloria What is going on?
Come on! Melman, Melman, Melman! Melman, Melman, Melman! Wake up!
Is that Melman?
Gloria Are you OK?
Yeah. No, I’m fine.
Marty. I'm thinking of a song.
Alex. Please. Not now.
Oh, yes. It's a wonderful song. I think you're familiar with it. [scatting]

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