Page 1 of 7Zuba, you better give him his Foofie!
Harry
[jumping up]
And dark stripes!
You'll find a cure. Hey! You've got at least 48 hours!
Any water?
No, just more diamonds and gold.
[Moto Moto dumps the riches on the pile, much to everyone's dismay.]
Okay. Don't give up hope.
Listen up! I will help you! There's only one way to get your precious water. I, your beloved King Julien must simply make a small sacrifice to my good friends, the water gods, in the volcano!
Rhino
What does that do?
What does that do? Excellent question. My sacrifice goes in the volcano. The friendly gods eat up my sacrifice. "Very nice. Thank you for the sacrifice." "Here, have another sacrifice." "No, I've had enough." " Listen, I'm insulted unless you have another." "I don't want another sacrifice, okay?!" "Look at you! You look skinny!" "No! I've had enough! Is that clear?!" The gods eat the sacrifice. They are grateful. They give me some water, and then I give it to you.
What?
Female Okapi
Does it work?
No! I mean, yes. Well, Maurice?
Ah, it's fifty-fifty.
All
We'll do it!
Excellent! Now, all I need is someone who would like to go into the volcano and get eaten by gods. Any hands! Hands, anybody! Okay, I need someone, perhaps who has never found love, who could look death straight in the eyeball. A real, genuine hero.
I'll do it.
Melman?
[The crowd cheered and they carry Melman to the volcano chanting his name]
Hurry up! Before we all come to our senses!
Melman, what is wrong with you?
I'm dying anyway. If there's a chance it'll get you water, it'll be worth it.
Are you nuts?
Gloria, I just want you to know, back at the zoo, it was never the doctors or prescriptions that kept me going. It was always you. Seeing you every day, that's what kept me going.
Melman! Wait!
Saw. Suture. Swab. You're in my light, Stephen.
Stephen
Ooh! Say, you've got a brown spot there on your shoulder.
Yes, that's very observant, Stephen. As you can see, I'm covered in brown spots. OK! That bone will be good as new in a few weeks.
Timo
So I don't have to pick out a dying hole?
No, Timo, you got your whole life ahead of you.
Timo
Really?
Go out there and grab it by the horns!
Timo
Thank you, Dr. Mankiewicz!
Break a leg! Sweet kid.
Stephen
Um... [clears throat] This spot looks like Witch Doctor's Disease.
[so]
Witch Doctor's Disease? That's the most ridiculous disease I've ever heard of, Stephen. Whoa!
Elephant
Don't ask.
Someone's been knotty. [chuckles] Okay. This won't hurt a bit.
Joe, our last witch doctor. He had a spot just like that.
Mmm-hmm. And?
Monday, Joe. Wednesday, no Joe.
Wednesday, no Joe?
Elephant
[Melman fixes the elephant's nose]
Oh, I can breathe! Thanks, doc!
So, this Witch Doctor's Disease is a real thing?
Stephen
You'll find a cure. Hey! You've got at least 48 hours!
But I've never even heard of it. I mean... I don't have any penicillin. I'm gonna need a CAT scan just to get started!
Stephen
We'll have a lion look you over. They'd be happy to.
[Alex and his parents have relocated to a barren land overrun by dik-dik antelope.] [shooing the antelope]
Come on! Shoo, shoo! Get out of here! [to Alex] You should have told us, son. You should have told us that you weren't a real king!
You never told me I'd have to fight anybody!
What did you expect, son?!
I don't know! Maybe a little fatherly advice like, "Hey, son, it's a fight!"
You're a lion, aren't you?
But I never fought another lion!
No, I guess not. You dance!
And other stuff! The point is your pal, Makunga, set me up back there! I mean, none of this would have happened...
If you were a real lion.
Yeah, I said it!
[hurt]
A real lion. Thanks. Thanks a lot. [Leaves his parents behind]
[Zuba and Florrie glare at each other]
[And in the meantime back at the present day in Madagascar, Alex and his gang are dancing to the beat from the elevator of preparing a blast off to their home of New York by an Airplane of Air Penguin]
I like to move it, move it
He likes to move it, move it
She likes to move it, move it
We like to?
Lemur Crowd
Move it!
Come on! Y'all know this one! It never gets stale!
We like to
Lemur Crowd
Move it!
We'll miss you little fuzz buckets! You've been a great crowd!
Glad we could introduce you to the toilet.
If you ever come look us up in Manhattan, feel free to call first. [watches as what two lemurs are doing] Seriously though, call. OK?
Settle down, everybody. Shh! Be quiet! [as everyone quiets down, Maurice comes with a cake] You can't leave without this!
[King Julien pops out of the cake, King Julien Moves It is being played in the background]
Hey! Surprise, freaks! Shake it! Shake it. [Laughing] Look, I'm a lady! I'm a lady, everyone! I'm a lady! Not really! It's me, King Julien! Which of you is attracted to me? Hands up! [Laughing] Yes! Hey, freaks! You will be very glad to hear that I am coming with you.
Yes, thank you. It's my plane! Until I return with the spoils from the new country... [holds Stevie the Gecko in his hand] Stevie will be in charge!
What is that you saying, Stevie? No. [Gasps] Could we? No, you didn't say that! How is that even possible? Naughty little thing! Stevie says... [gibberish language of what is Stevie saying] Let them eat cake!
Hmph.
Don't "hmph" me. Listen, Zuba. A miracle happened. Our son has come back to us. How come that is not good enough for you?
What are you saying, woman?
We lost him once, Zuba. Let's not lose him again.
[Makunga sees them from a distance, and he quickly fakes running out of breath before coming to them.]
Zuba! Zuba!
It's awful. The watering hole is dried up.
DRIED UP?! [snarls] That's impossible!
There's nothing left!
Well! You're the alpha lion, Makunga. What are you gonna do about it?
Your son, Alakay, he said he could fix it. He's gone upriver.
No!
I tried to stop him! I told him it was suicide, but he was determined to prove himself to you!
You stay here, in case he comes back! [running off to the reserve]
Hurry, Zuba! I'm so parched. [coughs]
Hunter #1
[On the signs of "No Hunting", Baby Alex finally gets the rope as he sees some hunters]
That's it. Here, kitty, kitty.
Hunter #2
[Using his gun ****, but decides to cease fire]
Ah! This one's a beauty. He'll be worth a few bucks.
Hunter #1
It just gets easier and easier. [Chuckles evilly]
Baby Alex
[The hunters put Baby Alex into a crate] [Whimpering]
Daddy!
Alakay?! Alakay?! ALAKAY!
Baby Alex
[Zuba sees a crate and notices that Baby Alex is inside it]
Da-da!
No! No! No! Alakay!
Baby Alex
[Zuba ran on all fours chasing after the truck. He leapt onto the truck and tried to free his son.]
Daddy!
Alakay! Daddy's got you! Hold on!
Baby Alex
[When Zuba unleashes the ropes to free his son, the hunter shoots him by his ear, bleeding]
Da-da! [Whimpers] Ow! Ow!
[And when the truck turns around the corner, the crate fell off the truck, and Baby Alex inside the crate fell for the first time. The crate fell into the river. Zuba gets up as he clutches his ear, and then he continues chasing after the truck, thinking that Alakay is still on there.]
ALAKAY!
Baby Alex
Daddy!
Baby Marty
[Will.I.Am "The Traveling Song" as the title card appears; open breaks the top of the crate when Baby Alex sees while holding a fish; take a snapshot off-screen of the newspaper; put on the rock and dancing, and the crowd applauds.] [jealous]
I don't like the looks of this guy.
Baby Gloria Well, I think he's kind of cute.
Baby Marty I think he's kind of a showoff.
Baby Melman
Y-You think he's cute? [Coughs]
Kid
WOW!
All
[Baby Alex keeps dancing on the rock to the people and leaps!]
Whoa!!!
[And when Baby Alex prepares a land, many years later, he became all grown up and becomes the star he is now.]
ROOOOAAARRR!
Announcer
[Crowd cheers wildly as they hold up]
The King of New York City... Alex the Lion!
Woo-hoo! I still think he's kind of a showoff.
You gotta give it to him. The guy's an animal.
Maybe he should take a break. You know, we could all use a vacation.
Come on, where on Earth would we go on vacation?
I don't know about you, but I want to go to Connecticut.
I like to move it, move it!
He likes to move it, move it!
She likes to move it, move it!
We like to...
Lemurs
Move it! [begin celebrating]
This could be it, Marty! I just want you to know you were truly, a one-in-a million friend!
Thanks, buddy! You're the best ever!
I know you won't mind when I tell you.
Tell me anything. Tell me one.
I broke your Ipod!
What?!
The buttons were so small. It made me mad!
Oh, no! The horror!
I'm sorry!
I'm gonna kill you, butt-bitter! Butt-bitter! Butt-bitter!
It was an accident. I'm sorry. I'll get you a new one!
I love you, Gloria, I always have! [Gloria is snoring, Alex and Marty glare at Melman quizzically] Yeah, like you love the beach, or a good book. Or the beach.
Is this place great or what?!
I'd go with "Or what?".
