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!

[yawning]

What day is it?

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

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!

[scoffs]
