Dialogue

[edit]
[first lines]
Samson: So there I was, face to face with the biggest, meanest leopard on this side of the Serengeti, and...
Ryan: You roared so loud, his spots flew clean off. Dad, I've heard this like a billion times.
Samson: Uh, do you know the one where I made the laughing hyenas...
Ryan: Cry? Yep.
Samson: The croc attack?
Ryan: Dad.
Samson: Okay, think.
Ryan: Yeah, you do that.
Samson: All right, Mr. Smart Guy. Here's one I know you haven't heard. It all started in the little place I like to call... The Wild.

They were the fastest wildebeests on the savannah. We're talking fast. All the other lions had given up the hunt hours ago, except your old man. Fortunately, I knew a short cut. I thought I had 'em. Until the dust cleared. Classic wildebeest trap.

Ryan: So, what did you do next?
Samson: What did I do?
Ryan: Yeah.
Samson: That's when I gave them the roar.
Ryan: That's it?
Samson: Hold on a sec. I only thought it was over. But they had the secret weapon. He was the largest wildebeest I've ever seen. He was 14 feet tall!
Ryan: Fourteen?
Samson: I meant 1,401 feet tall!
Ryan: Cool.
Samson: And he had two... No, four of the largest horns I'd ever seen. This breath was red hot! I mean, green. And he hated the environment. To pull this off, I knew I was gonna have to dig deep, deeper than I ever had before. So I swallowed my fear, sucked in the largest breath I could.
Ryan: Dad, I'm ready!
Samson: You got it?
Ryan: I got it! I got it!

Samson: Well, let him have it! Roar, son!

[Ryan had accidentally caused a stampede at a curling game. Samson angrily glares at him]
Ryan: [nervously] I told you I'd come to the game. [chuckles]
Samson: [enraged] You think this is funny? You just endangered everyone in the zoo!
Ryan: I'm sorry.
Samson: For what? Chasing the Gazelles or costing us the game? All you do is sit up in your tree and sulk!
Ryan: If you would just…
Samson: I mean, what is it? What's the problem? Is all of this because you can't roar?
[Everyone gasps, Ryan looks hurt. Samson's eyes widen in worry about what he angrily said to him.]
Samson: Ryan, I didn't mean that.
Ryan: You know what I'm doing when I'm sulking up in my tree? I'm thinking how great it would be if Samson the Wild wasn't my father.
Samson: Huh? Ryan, I… I didn't…
Ryan: 'Cause it would make being Ryan the Lame a whole lot easier. [angrily runs off]
Samson: Ryan, I'm sorry. Ryan! Please don't… leave.
Larry: [shows up] Bye, Ryan! Thanks for coming to the game. And you were worried he wouldn't show up.
Bridget: Benny, please tell me we're not in a dangerous jungle with an 8-inch squirrel protecting us.
Benny: Actually, I'm 9 inches. But other than that, yes.
Bridget: So that means...
Nigel: We are going to die! [screaming]
[Larry, Bridget and Nigel begin freaking out and running around in circles.]
[talking about a sewer system]
Larry: Eww! What is this stinky place?
Samson: It, uh…
Nigel: Oi!
Samson: …appears to be a human bathing area.
Nigel: You mean humans don't lick themselves clean? Disgusting!
Bridget: Oh, they're hopeless. It is hard to believe they are the top of the food chain.
Nigel: I can't imagine beginning the day without licking myself.
Samson: Think. What did Benny say? Couple of lefts, couple of rights… [sighs] Bridget, can you see the green lady?
Bridget: I'm looking, I'm looking, but I can't see over anything for a change.
Nigel: How far are you away? You in a different continent? Ow! Is that you, Larry?
Larry: Up here, Nige.
Nigel: You're a very furry snake.
Samson: Guys, shh. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves.
Nigel: I'm gonna throw up! I'm gonna throw up! I'm gonna throw up!
Bridget: Not to nitpick, but shouldn't you be tearing them to shreds?
Samson: All part of the plan. This maneuver's known as the Serengeti Slip. Page ten of the Predator's Playbook.
Larry: Are we in the right place?
Nigel: Any place without two hilarious alligators seems a move in the right direction.
Bridget: Sam! Do you see anything up there?
Samson: I sure do.
[seeing the Statue of Liberty]
Bridget: Well, well, well. There she is, like Hamir said.
Nigel: And it's sunrise, which means we're a tad short on time.
Samson: Guys, look. We know the box Ryan's in is green. It's gotta be around here somewhere, so I need you to…
Larry: Yeah. So we should shout out if we see a box that looks exactly like the ones over there.
Benny: Hey, watch where you goin', you, big, big...!
[the music begins Lovin' You by Minnie Riperton playing]
Benny: Bridget.
Bridget: Don't stare at my spots, Benny. My eyes are up here.
[the music stops when Benny hears a crash]
Blag: [to Kazar] And for the record, I've always hated your choreography. It's so... '80s.
Samson: Who are you?
Camo: Our names aren't important.
Cloak: I'm Cloak, he's Camo. We're covert agents. [gets hit by Camo] Ow!
Nigel: Here I come! Hey! [jumps off tree branch and lands on a metal fence] Who put that bar there?
Flamingos: Did too! Did not! Did too! Did not!
Fergus: Out of my way, you bum! There's that moth-eaten koala!
Nigel: I've told you flamingos a hundred times, walk.
Fergus: How about an autograph?!
Nigel: Don't…
Flamingo: [kicks Nigel up a tree branch and falls] Birds! Find the string on his back! [flamingos attack Nigel] So you're havin' a really nice day!
Samson: Guys!
Fergus: Huh?
Samson: Off my co-captain, now.
Fergus: Eh, sorry, Samson. [grunts]
Nigel: OW! That didn't hurt.
Ryan: I can't even roar. How would you even know I'm there?
Samson: So you really think it dropped an octave?
Benny: Absolutely. Hmph. What the heck is an octave?
Samson: [sighs]
Ryan: I heard that.
Samson: Mm… rabbit.
Benny: Mm. Cholesterol. I'll stick with the nuts. [grunts]
Samson: I don't know what his problem is, Benny. He's 11, but he's still roaring at a nine-year-old level.
Benny: Little help here, Sammy? You know what? Maybe you're setting the bar too high, um, with all those stories about Samson the Wild.
Samson: Hey, he's always loved those stories! They inspire him.
Benny: OK, OK. I'm not gonna argue with someone who can use my tail as dental floss. Oh, Sammy, you got something right there.
Samson: Where?
Benny: No, no, other side.
Samson: Here?
Benny: Oh, uh… [stammering]
Samson: Oh, sorry, Benny.
Benny: You got it.
Bridget: Hey! I am not in the mood for a game of footsie or hoofsie or pawsie or…
Nigel: That wasn't my paw. It was this! [turns on Statue of Liberty torch] I didn't steal it. I borrowed it. It'll light the way to Ryan.
Samson: Those boxes are bad news. Stay away.
Ryan: But, Dad…
Samson: Listen, I know you're frustrated, but a lion finds his roar…
Both: Here.
Ryan: I'm… I'm so tired of hearing that, Dad!
Woman: [screaming] It's a rat! Get that rat off my baby!
Benny: A rat? [spinning in the air holding a candy necklace] Hello!
Baby: Silly, silly rat.
Benny: [shudders] Rats do not got bling like this, lady.
Woman: You little...! [smacks Benny with her purse]
Benny: Lastly, that is the ugliest baby I've ever seen!
Samson: Benny, stealing candy from a baby?
Benny: Stealing is such a strong word. I prefer "liberating".
Samson: Uh-huh.
Larry: Hey, you think it has anything to do with that? [his head points at the volcano]
Bridget: All right, hang on a second. Either I'm starving or Larry is making sense.
[repeated line]
Talking Koala Bear Doll: I'm so cuddly, I like you.
Benny: [after being confronted by a pack of wildebeest] Don't panic, I'm in charge here.
Bridget: That's why we're panicking!
Benny: I say we fan out in circles.
Bridget: What are we, peacocks? We don't fan, we run. Run for your lives, everybody!
Larry: Guys, I've got an idea! Why don't we ask them? [points at the wildebeests]
Wildebeest: I'll take the one with the funny knees.
'Benny: The funny knee...? Huh? [gives out a battle cry] Yaah!
Bridget: Benny, no! [he charges, but the wildebeest knocks him out] Benny?
Wildebeest: Get them! [Bridget and Larry scream in shock.]
Scab and Scraw: [finding Ryan on a tree branch] Ooh, a lion cub.
Scab: We must tell Kazar.
Scraw: It's my turn to tell him!
Scab: You got to tell him last time!
Scraw: No, I didn't!
Scab: Oh, yes, you did! [squawks]
[cut to Benny, with the dung beetles]
Benny: Mm, what? Wha... wha...? Whoa. Wait! What, what? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Hey, hey, hey! Ow, ow, ow! Hey! Ow! Get off me! [to the dung beetles] What is goin' on here?!
Dung Beetle 1: Stinky does not speak.
Dung Beetle 2: It rolls like a little ball.
Benny: Wait, wait. You guys think I'm a...?
Dung Beetle 1: [to Benny] Achtung, Stinky!
Dung Beetle 2: Less talk, more roll.
Dung Beetle 1: Ja.
All: Roll! Roll!
Benny: What the...? [grunting] Hey!
Dung Beetle 1: Rolling the dung is good for tight buns! [chuckling, rolling away]
Benny: I'll give you something to roll about! [spins around to the ground, shuddering] It's a good thing Bridget didn't see that!
[Benny walks up to Hamir]
Benny: Hamir! Hamir! [smacking Hamir] Get a grip on yourself!
Hamir: [screams] Oh, Benny, I am needing until Friday before I pay you back.
Benny: No, no, it's Ryan. He's in one of those green boxes, and they took him away in a truck! We got to find him.
Hamir: That is not good, not good at all. [pigeons are dancing behind him trying to tell him something] Ah! I know, I know! I am telling him, you crazy pigeons! [sighs]
Kazar: Step, kick, pivot, kick, walk, walk, walk! Aaaahhh! Why do we even bother rehearsing? [snorts at Blag] Mmmmm. Mmm-mm. A good chorus line is so hard to put together.
Blag: Kazar, I think you'll be very pleased with what I brought you.
Kazar: What's this? Where's the other lion?
Blag: Right. Well, I was gonna tell you. There was this cliff and, uh– [Kazar huffs angrily at Blag] Why are you looking at me like that?
Kazar: That's twice you've been out of step today, Blag! [As Kazar speaks, Blag slips off the edge, but holds on] You klutz. You know we can't ascend to the top of the food chain, until we eat a lion! Well, at least there'll be enough for my ascension.
Blag: What about the rest of us?
Kazar: Step-kick, pivot-kick! [Kazar kicks Blag's face, then Blag falls down in front of Ryan, Bridget, and Larry] Ha-ha!
Blag: [twists his hoof] Ouch! I twisted a hoof!
Kazar: You work, and you work. Then they break your heart.
Blag: [off-screen] There goes my career!
Kazar: Prepare the sacrifices!
Nigel: If you don't give us ice creams pretty quick, you're gonna walk the plank, sir.
Samson: Girls, put him down.
Nigel: I am not a doll!
Monkey 1: Cushy Tushy!
Nigel: Ah! Leave my bum alone!
Benny: Nigel, get your paws off my girlfriend!
Bridget: Benny, I am not your girlfriend!
Stan: You done running your mouth yet, Carmine? Huh, are you? Huh, huh, huh? [turns to Samson and his friends] I apologize, he never got over being flushed down the toilet. [hits Carmine twice again] Huh?
Carmine: Yeah.
Nigel: Ooh. Does anyone have any eucalyptus wipes?
Bridget: We cannot lose to flightless birds!
Samson: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No one is losing anything around here, as long as we stay focused. By the way, has anyone seen Ryan?
Larry: Oh, oh, I know. Maybe he's sulking 'cause he lives in his father's shadow and he roars like a school girl.
Samson: Thanks, Lav.
Larry: You betcha.
Samson: Hey! Hey, Ryan. Listen, I'm heading down to the game. I'm gonna see you there, right? Come on, Ryan, we need you. You're our biggest fan.
Rhino: Yo, Samson! Ha, I'm your number one fan, man! Whoo!
Samson: Thanks, man! Right back at ya!
Ryan: You were saying, Dad?
Samson: Ryan, listen. About this afternoon, I was just trying...
Ryan: Dad, fine. I'll go to your game, all right?
Samson: OK. I'll, uh... see you there, then.
Hyrax: Aaahh! Doesn't anyone ever knock anymore?
Samson: Hey, where's my son? Did he come through here?
Hyrax: Yeah, now that I think about it, he did come through here. [turns to toilet] Hello? Come out of there, baby lion, your dad's here! Well, what do you know, it's a whole pride of lions down here!
Samson: Hold on, Larry, do that again!
Larry: Do what?
Samson: Whatever you just did, but the opposite!
Larry: But I don't know my opposites!
Samson: No, Larry, like this!
Bridget: Sam!
Samson: I improvised. Now jump!
Bridget: Down there?
Samson: Yes!
Bridget: Whoa!
Nigel: Waaah!
Samson: We're leaving, Larry! Whoa!
Larry: Whoa-ah. Ugh! Uh-oh.
