Someone's got a zoo loose.Taglines
"What continent is this?"
"Manhattan."
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 Antarctica. To the wild. ~ Skipper
"And where exactly are you giants from, hmm?"
"We're from New York, and-"
"All hail the New York Giants!"
"NEW YORK GIANTS!"

Dialogue

[edit]
Marty Zebra : The penguins are going, so why can't I?
Alex African Lion: The penguins are psychotic.
Marty Zebra: Come on. Just imagine going back to nature.
Alex African Lion : This is a highly refined, type of, food... the thing that you do not find in the wild.
Marty Zebra: You ever thought there might be more to life than steak, Alex?
Alex African Lion : [stares at his steak] He didn't mean that, baby. No-no-no.
Alex African Lion : [while sleeping] Come on now, baby. My little filet. My little filet mignon with a little fat around the edges. I like that. I like a little fat on my steak. My sweet, juicy steak. You are a rare delicacy.
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: Alex. Alex. Alex? Alex. Alex.
Alex African Lion : [wakes up] Huh? What?
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: You suck your thumb?
Alex African Lion: [sighs] What is it, Melman?
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: Okay, okay. Ah! You know how I have that bladder infection and I have to get up every two hours? Well, I got up to pee and looked over at Marty's pen which, you know, I usually don't do. I don't know why, but I did. And this time...
Alex African Lion : What, Melman? What's going on?
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: It's Marty. He's gone.
Alex African Lion: Gone?! [bonks his head] What do you mean "gone"?
Melman Reticulated Giraffe : How long he's been working on this? [into for the hole penguins dug] Marty? Marty?!
Gloria African Bush Elephant : [enters for the scene] He wouldn't fit down there.
Alex African Lion : [searches for the hay pile] Marty? Marty! Marty!
Gloria African Bush Elephant : This doesn't make any sense. Where would he go?
Alex African Lion: [horrified; after short pause] Connecticut!
Gloria African Bush Elephant : He wouldn't.
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: Uh, no! What... What are we going to do?! We got to... We gotta... I mean, we gotta... We gotta... We got to call somebody!
[Alex African Lion gasps, runs for the pay phone and dials 911.]
Alex African Lion: Hello?! Get me for the missing animals and hurry! We've got a lost Zebra probably for the way to Connecticut by now, and we're gonna need...
[Cut to operator's office; Alex roars on speaker.]
Operator: Hello? [cut to zoo; on speaker] Hello?
Alex African Lion: Wait a second. We can't call for the people.
Operator: What the....
Alex African Lion: [he hangs for the pay phone, pulls and throws it away] They'll be really bad. It will get Marty transferred for good. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : Mm-hmm. I know that's right.
Alex African Lion : We got to go after him.
Melman Reticulated Giraffe : Go after him?!
'Alex African Lion : He's not thinking straight. We have to stop him from making for the biggest mistake of his life. He's probably out there lost and cold, confused. [sighs] Poor little guy.
[After Mort gets sent out from hiding by Verne, he sees Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman and grabs his tail in fear.]
Marty Zebra: Hi there.
Alex African Lion : [cuts off Marty, clears throat] You let me handle. [whispers] Alex handles it. Marty does nothing. [walks over to a scared Mort and zooms in his face] Hi th-e-e-ere! [Mort looks at Alex's teeth and starts crying.] Oh, jeez. Sorry.
Melman Reticulated Giraffe : Oh, Alex, what did you do?
Alex African Lion: No, no, no. Stop. Stop. It's okay, it's okay. I'm just a silly... just a silly African Lion. Oh, jeez!
[Verne Wolf starts screaming and crying louder, scaring Alex.]
Marty: Aw, Alex.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : [walks to Mort] Oh, you poor little baby. Did that big mean lion scare you?
Mort Wolf: Mm-hmm.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : He did? He's a big, bad old puddy tat, isn't he? [picks Mort up] Come on. Mama'll hold you.
Melman: [as Gloria is cuddling Mort] They are so cute from a reasonable distance.
Gloria Africa Bush Elephant: Aren't you the sweetest little thing. I just want to dunk him in my coffee.
Verne Grizzly Bear : [watching Gloria cuddle Mort] They are just a bunch of pansies.
Rj Fox : I don't know, Julien. [referring to Alex] There's something about that guy with the crazy hair-do that I find suspicious.
Verne Grizzly Bear: Nonsense, Maurice! Come on everybody! Let's go and meet the pansies!
Alex African Lion : Marty, come on. What could Connecticut have to offer us?
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: Lyme disease.
Alex African Lion: Thank you, Melman.
[Alex African Lion and Marty seem overjoyed to be reunited; they are running towards each other on the beach in slow motion with arms outstretched and "Chariots of Fire" playing; their voices are slow and toned to a low key]
Alex African Lion : Marty!
Marty Zebra : Alex!
Alex African Lion: Marty!
Marty Zebra : Al!
Alex African Lion : [firmly] Marty!
Marty Zebra : [confused] Alex?
Alex African Lion: [angrily] MARTY!
Marty Zebra : [turns to run] Oh, sugar, Burger, iced tea!
Rj Fox: [to Alex] Oh my, what big teeth you have. Man. He-hey.
Verne Grizzly Bear: Shame on you, Maurice. Can you not see that you have insulted the freak? [to Alex] African Lion You must tell me, who the heck are you?
Alex African Lion : I'm Alex. The Alex and this is Gloria, Marty and Melman.
Rj Fox: And where exactly are you giants from, hmm?
'Alex African Lion: We're from New York, and uh...
[King Verne Grizzly Bear makes a "T" with his hands, interrupting Alex, then turns to the crowd of Gibbon
Verne Grizzly Bear: All hail the New York Giants!
Gibbon: [cheer] New York Giants!
Alex African Lion : [to Marty, Melman, and Gloria] All right, enough is enough. I say we just ask these bozos where the people are.
': Excuse me? We bozos have the people, of course!
Alex African Lion : You do? That's good to know.
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: Hey! The bozos have the people!
Verne Grizzly Bear : They're up there. [points to some human skeletons hanging from parachutes snagged on the branches of a large tree] Don't you love the people? Not a very lively bunch though.
Alex African Lion : Oh. So, do you have any live people?
Verne Grizzly Bear ': Um... No. Only dead ones.
Rj Fox: Man, if we had a lot of live people, it wouldn't be called "the wild". Would it?
Marty Zebra : The wild?
Alex African Lion: Hold on a second there, fuzz bucket. You mean the live-in-a-mud-hut, wipe-yourself-with-a-leaf type wild?
Verne Grizzly Bear : Who wipes? Ha ha!
Gloria African Bush Elephant : Oy vey.
Verne Grizzly Bear : Oy vey!
Rj Fox : Oy vey, everybody!
Gibbon ': Oy vey!!!
Alex African Lion : Could you excuse me for a moment? [later he's running back to the beach, Gloria chases after him.] Get me out of here! We got to get out of here!
African Bush Elephant : Alex!
Alex African Lion: Heeelp!!!!!
Gloria African Bush Elephant : [holds Alex back] What are you doing?!!!
Alex African Lion : I'm swimming back to New York.
Marty Zerba : Yeah, baby. We are in the wild.
Alex African Lion : I know my chances are slim, but I have to try.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : You can't swim!
Marty Zebra : Oh, yeah.
Alex African Lion : I said my chances are slim.
Melman Reticulated Giraffe : [running in panic with leaves covering] AAAAGHH!!!! Nature! It's all over me! Get it off! I can't see! I can't see! [Gloria steps on vine cord, leaves pulls off him] I can see. [buries his head in beach ground, panicked]
Gloria African Bush Elephant: [while holding Alex by his throat] Okay, look. There has obviously just been a little mistake. I'm sure the people didn't dump us here on purpose. As soon as they realize what happened, they'll come looking for us, right?
'Melman Reticulated Giraffe : [with head buried; while Marty is singing "Born Free"] Yeah, right.
Gloria African Bush Elephant htn: You know something? I bet they're already on their way. [she drops Alex, which he inhales for breath.]
(Ship horn sound)
Skipper Eagle : Well, boys. It's going to be ice-cold sushi for breakfast. (he and Private take high five) Rico.
Verne Grizzly Bear : [presents Alex with his crown] I am going to give you this lovely parting gift.
Alex African Lion: Oh no, really. I can't take your crown.
Verne Grizzly Bear : That's okay, I've got a better one! It's got a gecko on it! Look at him shake! Go, Stevie, go!
Verne Grizzly Bear : We thank you with enormous gratitude for scaring away the Fossa.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : The whossa?
Verne Grizzly Bear: The Fossa. They're always annoying us by trespassing, interrupting our parties, and ripping our limbs off--
Alex African Lion : Yeah, sounds great.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : Where are the people?
Skipper Eagle : We killed 'em 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. Hang on, I know you two. Where's that psychotic lion, and our monochromatic friend?
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: [he and Gloria looks back to see Marty missing] Marty? He's ri... Where'd he go? I thought he was right behind us.
'Gloria African Bush Elephant : [groans in frustration] He went back for Alex? He's gonna get himself killed!
Skipper Eagle : 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 hostile environment. Kowalski, we'll need to win the hearts and the 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 Eagle : You, Quadruped! Sprechen sie Englisch?
'Marty Zebra : I sprechen.
Skipper Eagle : What continent is this?
Marty Zebra : Manhattan.
Skipper Eagle : Hoover Dam! We're still in New York. Abort! Dive! Dive! Dive!
'Marty Zebra : Hey, wait! You in the tux! What are you guys doing?
Private Hyacinth macaw : We're digging to Antarctica. [Skipper slaps him]
Marty Zebra : ant-who-tica?
Skipper Hyacinth Macaw : 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 Antarctica. To the wild.
Marty Zebra: The wild? You can actually go there? That's sounds great. (short pause; he looks at penguins' hole) Hey, hold up! Where is this place? Tell me where it is!
[Skipper Eagle starts going back into the hole]
Skipper Eagle: You didn't see anything, right?
Marty Zebra: Yes, sir. Oh, uh... I'm sorry. No, sir.
Marty Zebra: AAAAAHHH!! Excuse me?! You're biting my butt.
Alex African Lion: [Long Pausez; muffled] No, I'm not.
Marty Zebra : Yes you are. [Alex spits and licks paws in the tongue]
Gloria African Bush Elephant : Alex, what did you do?
'Marty Zebra : ?
Alex African Lion : ?
[the penguins are being transfered; Kowalski is looking for the label on their crate]
Skipper Eagle : Progress report.
Kowalski Scarlet Macaw : It's an older code, Skipper. I can't make it out.
[Skipper Eagle notices up the chimps for the crate next to them]
Skipper Eagle : You, higher mammal! Can you read?!
Mason Chimpanzee : No, Phil can read though. Phil?
[Phil appears; Kowalski gestures towards at the label; Phil starts using sign language]
Mason Chimpanzee: Ship to Kenya... Wildlife Preserve... Africa.
Skipper Eagle: Africa? That ain't going to fly. Rico!
[Rico vomits up a paper clip and uses it to unpick from the lock on their crate]
Alex African Lion : [after Melman burned the rescue beacon in panic] You maniac! You burned it up! Darn you! Darn you all to HECK!
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: [callously] Can we go to the fun side now?
Verne Wolf : I like them! I like them! Before I even met them I liked them!
Verne Grizzly Bear : Yes, yes! We get it...
Verne Wolf : You HATE them compared to how much I like them...
Verne Grizzly Bear : Oh, shut up! You're so annoying. [Pauses out of the park]
Verne Wolf : [flattered] Hee-hee!
Verne Grizzly Bear: Now, for as long as we can remember, we have been attacked, and eaten, by the dreaded fossa.
Gibbon 1: The fossa! The fossa are attacking! [screams and hurls himself out a window; General panic ensues]
Silverback Gorilla 2: [holds up a book titled "To Serve Lemur"] It's a cookbook. It's a cookbook!
Verne Grizzly Bear : Please, Maurice.
Rj Fox : Shh.... Quiet! Come on, you all. They're not attacking us this very instant.
Alex African Lion: Oooh... Oh, my head. [bumps his head on the top of his crate] Oh! Ah! What the? Wait. Where? What? I'm in the box! Oh no. No, no! Not the box. Oh, they can't transfer me. Not me! Oh. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. Darkness creeping in. Can't breathe, can't breathe. Walls closing in around me. So alone. So alone. Oh.
Marty Zebra : Alex? Alex, hey! Are you there?
Alex African Lion : Marty?
Marty Zebra : Yeah. Talk to me, buddy.
Alex African Lion : Oh, Marty. You're here.
Marty Zebra : What is going on? Are you okay?
Alex African Lion : This doesn't look good, Marty.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : Alex, Marty, is that you?
Marty Zebra : Gloria.
Alex African Lion : You're here, too.
Marty Zebra: I am loving the sound of your voice.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : What is going on?
Alex African Lion : We're all in crates.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : Oh, shit! What, um...
'Melman Reticulated Giraffe : Uh, sleeping just knocks me out.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : Melman.
Alex African Lion : Melman.
Marty Zebra : Is that Melman?
Gloria African Bush Elephant : Are you okay?
Melman Reticulated Giraffe : Yeah. No, I’m fine. I often doze off while I'm getting an MRI.
Alex African Lion : Melman, you're not getting an MRI.
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: CAT scan?
Alex African Lion : No. No CAT scan. It's a transfer. It's a zoo transfer!
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: Zoo transfer?! Uh, no. No, no. I can't be transferred. I have an appointment with Dr. Goldberg at 5:00.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : Melman. Don't panic!
'Melman Reticulated Giraffe : There are prescriptions that have to be filled.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : Melman! Calm down, Melman. Relax.
Melman Reticulated Giraffe : No other zoo can afford my medical care...
Marty Zerba: Calm down, Melman.
Melman Reticulated Giraffe : And I am not going HMO!
Marty Zebra : Take it easy, Melman. It's gonna be okay. We are going to be o-kiz-ay.
Alex African Lion : No, Marty. We aren't going to be o-kiz-ay. Now, because of you, we're ruined!
Marty Zebra : Because of me? I fail to see how this is my fault.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : You're kidding, right, Marty?
Alex African Lion : You! You ticked off the people! You bit the hand, Marty. You bit the hand! [mimicking Marty] "I don't know who I am! I don't know who I am. I gotta go find myself in the wild!"
Marty Zebra : Hey hey.
Alex African Lion : Oh please.
Marty Zebra : I did not ask you to come after me, did I?
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: He does have a point.
'Alex African Lion : What?
Melman Reticualted Giraffe: I did say we should stayed for the zoo but, you guys...
Alex African Lion : Melman, just shut it. You're the one who suggested this whole idea to him for the first place.
Gloria African Bush Elephhant: Alex, leave Melman out of this, please.
Melman Reticulated Giraffe: Thank you, Gloria. Besides, Alex, that's not my fault that we were transferred.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : Melman, shut it. Does anybody feel nauseous?
Melman Reticulated Giraffe : I feel nauseous.
Alex African Lion : Melman, you always feel nauseous.
Gloria African Bush Elephant : What kind of zoo is this?
'Melman Reticulated Giraffe: I just saw twenty-six blatant health code violations.
Marty Zebra : I'm lovin' San Diego. This place is off the chizain.
Melman Reticulated Giraffe : (gasps) 27!
[last lines]
Private Hyacinth Macaw : Skipper don't you think we should tell them the boat's out of gas?
Skipper Eagle: Nah, just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave.
