A scene from Madagascar 2005
[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!

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.
