A scene from Madagascar 2005

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.

[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.

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.

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.

[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]
