Well boys, our monochromatic friend's in trouble. Looks like we have a job to do. Captain's log: embarking into hostile territory. Kowalski! We'll need to win the hearts and the minds of the natives. Rico, we'll need special tactical equipment. We're gonna face extreme peril. Private probably won't survive.

Scenes with Skipper the Penguin
9 scenesGrand Central Station. It's Grand, and it's Central.
You bit the hand, Marty! You bit the hand!
Where are the people?
Skipper We killed 'em and ate their livers.
Skipper [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?
Skipper Nah, just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave.
Skipper Quadruped! Sprechen sie Englisch?

Skipper Hoover Dam! We're still in New York! Abort! Dive! Dive! Dive!
Hey, wait! You in the tux! What are you guys doing?
We're digging to Antartica! [Skipper slaps him]
Skipper Can you keep a secret, my monochromatic friend? Do you ever see any penguins walking free around New York City? 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 Antartica. To the wild.
The wild? You can actually go there-- that's sounds great!
Skipper You didn't see anything... right?
Yes, sir! I mean no, sir!
Skipper [the penguins are being transfered; Kowalski is looking at the label on their crate]
Progress report.
It's an older code, Skipper. I can't make it out.
Skipper [Skipper notices the chimps in the crate next to them]
You, higher mammal! Can you read?
No. Phil can read though. Phil!
[Phil appears; Kowalski gestures towards the label; Phil starts using sign language]
Ship to... Kenya... wildlife preserve... AFRICA!
Skipper Africa? That ain't gonna fly. Rico!
[Rico vomits up a paper clip and uses it to unpick the lock on their crate]
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?
We'll find a way to help him. That's what we'll do.
Oh! OK.
Come on, we are New Yorkers, right?
Yeah.
We're tough. We're gritty.
Yeah!
We're adaptable!
Yeah!!
And we are not going to lay down like a bunch of Melmans!
No, we're not. [horn blaring] Oh. 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!
Over here!
Over here! Over here! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Melman, give me a lift. Hurry up! Lift me up!
Help! Help! Help!
Oh, my neck. My neck. My neck. You guys. Over here!
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]
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.
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.
Melman's right. The people will know what to do. Now, come on. We got to flag down that boat.
Skipper [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.
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?
[He and Gloria look back to see Marty missing]
Marty? He's ri... Where'd he go? I thought he was right behind us.
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 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]
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 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?
[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!
Skipper It's been a real pleasure serving with you, boys.
Skipper Close those eyes.
Why do I have to close my eyes?
Skipper Do it.
Yeah. They're closed.
Skipper Tighter.
Yes, sir.
Skipper No peeking.
Alright. They're closed.
Skipper 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.
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.
Mmm… Mmm.
And?
Well?
Pretty good, right?
There's always Plan B. [Mort laughs]
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]
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!
