Look at all the zebras, like me!
 
I think It’s Africa.
[first lines during the DreamWorks Animation logo; the penguins takes out the fishing moon boy.]
Skipper: Well done, boys. Looks like ice-cold sushi for breakfast.
[Makunga encounters Zuba in a flashback]
Makunga: It's so disappointing when they don't grow up the way you want.
Zuba: [annoyed] Makunga! You're not challenging me again, are you?
Makunga: Look on the bright side, Zuba. After I defeat you and take your place as Alpha Lion, you need to have so much more time to spend with your pathetic excuse of a son.
Zuba: Before I kick your butt, let me ask you something: Why do you even want to become the Alpha Lion?
Makunga: I'm better looking, I have better hair, I'm deceitfully smart... and I want everyone to do what I say. We'll fight on three. One...
Zuba: Pay attention, Alakay. Daddy will show you how it's done.
Makunga: ...two, three! [as the two lions fight, baby Alex chases after a butterfly, then sees a long rope and chases after it too]
Zuba: [after the fight] Who's the Alpha Lion?
Makunga: You are.
Zuba: Don't you forget it. And that, Alakay, is how you attack... [sees his son missing] Alakay?
Mort: King Julien, wait for me! I'm all packed! I have a whole itinerary planned!
King Julien: Oh, no! It's Mort! He's so annoying! Don't let him on. Stop that thing! He's carrying scissors and hand cream! Everybody in! Quickly, get in, get in! Get in quick!
Skipper: Struts.
Kowalski: [flicks the levers] Check.
Skipper: Flaps.
Kowalski: [taps on the flaps control] Check.
Skipper: Engine.
Kowalski: [turns a knob] Check.
Skipper: Coffee maker.
Kowalski: [turns on the coffee maker] Check.
Skipper: That's got to be the second biggest slingshot I've ever seen. But it's gonna have to do. [on the intercom] Attention. This is your captain speaking.
[Private is giving a safety demonstration to the passengers]
Private: [shows life vest] In the event of a water emergency, place the vest over your head, and kiss your... [pulls on the red tab, causing the vest to inflate and explode] ...goodbye.
Gloria: New York City, here we come, baby!
Skipper: ...sit back, relax, pray to your personal god this hunk of junk flies.
Alex: Personal god. Hunk of what?
Kowalski: We are go, sir.
Mort: Open the door! I'm outside! [screams]
Private: In case of a loss in cabin pressure, place the mask over your face... [places oxygen mask over his face, muffling his voice] ...To hide your terrified expression from the other passengers.
Marty: [showing his detached seatbelt] Excuse me, miss, aren't these supposed to be attached to my seat?
Private: [removes the mask] No, sir.
[the red bulb on the plane's fuel gauge is flashing]
Kowalski: Skipper, look.
Skipper: Analysis.
Kowalski: It looks like a small incandescent bulb, designed to indicate something out of the ordinary, like a malfunction.
Skipper: I find it pretty and somewhat hypnotic.
Kowalski: That too, sir.
Skipper: Right. Rico, manual! [catches the manual and promptly smashes the bulb with it] Problemo solved.
Kowalski: Sir, we may be out of fuel.
Skipper: What makes you think that?
Kowalski: We've lost engine one . [out the left window, engine #1 sputters out] And engine two is no longer on fire. [out the right window, engine #2 stops smoking and sputters]
Skipper: Buckle up, boys. [covers "Doll's" eyes] Don't look, doll, this might get hairy. [on the intercom] Attention. This is your captain speaking. I've got good news and bad news. The good news is we'll be landing immediately. Bad news is... we're crash landing. [the plane falls out of the sky; all, except the sleeping Gloria, and the chimps; Mason and Phil, start screaming] When it comes to air travel, we know you have no choice whatsoever. But thanks again for choosing Air Penguin.
King Julien: [laughing] Raise your arms, Maurice! It's more fun when you raise arms like this! [everything in first class, including Julien and Maurice get sucked out of the plane; deploys a parachute] I can fly!
Alex: This could be it, Marty, I just want you to know you are truly a one-in-a million friend.
Marty: Thanks, buddy, you're the best ever.
Alex: I know you won't mind when I tell you…
Marty: Go on! Tell me anything! Tell me what?
Alex: I broke your iPod!
Marty: WHAT?!
Alex: The buttons are so small that this makes me mad.
Marty: Oh, no! The horror!
Alex: I'm sorry.
Marty: I'm gonna kill you, butt-bitter! Butt-bitter! Butt-bitter!
Alex: It was an accident! I'm sorry! I'll get you a new one!
Melman: I love you, Gloria, I always have. [Gloria is snoring, Alex, Marty, Mason, and Phil glare at Melman quizzically] Yeah, like you love the beach, or a good book. Or the beach.
Skipper: My goodness, Doll, you're shaking like a leaf. Rico! You've had your fun. Pull up. [Rico pulls up] Gear down. [Kowalski pulls a lever that deploys the landing gear] Gently now. You just want to kiss the ground. Just a little peck. A smooch. Like you're kissing your sister. [the landing gear breaks] I said kiss it! [the wings, engines, and the hull of the plane break off] Now just a little brake. Just a touch. A little whisper.
Mason: [while playing chess with Phil] I believe that's checkmate.
[Alex and Marty scream]
Skipper: Commence emergency landing procedure! Flaps up! Deploy!
[Kowalski and Rico deploy the parachutes that make the plane land gently]
Marty: [after Nana kicks Alex in his groin] Right in the batteries!
[looking out over the African plain]
Melman: Whoa.
Gloria: Am I trippin'?
Marty: Look at all the zebras, like me! Wait a minute, where are we?
Melman: San Diego. This time I'm 40% sure.
Alex: I know this place.
Marty: I think it's Africa.
Melman: Africa?
Marty: It's gotta be. Our ancestral crib! It's in our blood, I can feel it!
Alex: No, no. It's more than that. It's like, deja vu, like I've...like I've been here before.
Marty: It's like Roots!
Alex: [dazed] No, no. It's like, deja vu, like I've... like I've been here before.
Moto Moto: [raspy voice] Goodness, girl, you're huge.
Gloria: Who's your friend, or is that your butt?
Kowalski: Skipper, we have all the parts we need. But, we're slightly behind schedule.
Skipper: How slightly?
Kowalski: Six to nine years.
Skipper: Sixty-nine years?
Kowalski: No, six to nine years.
Skipper: [on the intercom] Private, what happened to our thumbs?
Private: Haven't seen them since yesterday, sir. [drops his screwdriver] Darn you, Darwin! [the car's hood closes on him]
Skipper: Nobody goes AWOL on my watch. Private! You're coming with me! [the inside of the front of the car explodes] Rico! You're coming with me! [Rico welds a car in half] We'll track them down and bring them in for court martial.
Mason: That won't be necessary, we've recruited a few extra thumbs for you, Skipper. [camera pans to a whole lot of chimpanzees]
Skipper: Well I'll be a monkey's uncle.
Mason: Oh, I doubt that. [chimpanzees screeching]
Skipper: [on the intercom] Enough lollygagging. Now let's get to work. We'll divide into three groups. Group Alpha, you're in charge of sheet metal fabrication. Group Bronson, you'll handle assembly. Group George Peppard, you'll handle craft services. Any questions? [Mason tries to say something] Good, now let's get to work.
Julien: What ever happened to the separation of the classes?
Maurice: Don't worry, I'm sure this democracy thing is just a fad.
Murray: You'll find a cure. Hey! You've got at least forty-eight hours.
Gloria: Is this place great or what?!
Alex: I'd go with, "Or what?".
[The Penguins are seeing the safari jeep coming towards them.]
Skipper: Operation Tourist Trap is a go.
Private: Oh, I like that one. That’s a good one.
Kowalski: It works on many levels, sir.
Skipper: You guys are a bunch of suck-ups.
Kowalski: That, too, sir.
Private: Absolutely.
Rico: Hai.
Skipper: Stations. Stage one. Go!
[Private runs to a red X on the ground and waddles in place. The tour jeep hits him, and he lands on the dirt. He then squirts ketchup on his stomach while cracking an egg on his head and placing a fake bone by his stomach, and then he sticks his tongue out to make it look like he is dead. The people that were in the tour jeep get out to check what happened]
The Tour Guide: Oh, no! What have I done?
Skipper: Come on, take the bait.
The Tour Guide: Is it dead?
Skipper: Stage two! Go, go, go!
[Skipper, Kowalski and Rico uses a seesaw catapult to get into the jeep with wood and rock and opens the front hood.]
The Tour Guide: I will give him the kiss of life.
Skipper: Rico! [Rico tries to start the jeep] Rico! [The tour guide kisses Private, who inflates and flies into the tour jeep and slams the trunk shut, getting in.] Reverse! Gas! Music!
["More Than a Feeling" by Boston plays, and the Penguins start driving the jeep away from the tourists.]
The Tour Guide: No! Stop! Stop! Stop! Come back!
[The Penguins give high-five, when...]
Nana: [offscreen] What is all this rock'n'roll racket?!
[Nana pops out from the backseat and angrily glares at the penguins. The penguins throw Nana out of the windshield. It stops.]
Private: Is she dead?
[Nana gets up.]
Skipper: [angrily] No!
[The Penguins drives forward and hits Nana, then they drive away backwards.]
Nana: [gets up and straightens her head, calls out] You hoodlums!
[Alex is punching the bird's nest, like a punching bag]
Alex: Surprised to see me, Makunga? Well, I'm here to set things straight, like a real lion! Is this real enough for you? How about this? This is for setting me up! This is for stealing my dad's job! This is for humiliating my family! AND MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL!
[The nest has the birds come out and they attack Alex while he spits some of them with its feathers]
Alex: Had enough? Sure, fly away! Coward.
[Then Alex hears someone screaming in horror, and goes over and saw that the watering hole was all gone, where the animals have gathered. It is the fish screaming "NO!"]
Giraffe #1: The water. It's gone.
Giraffe #2: Oh, no.
Hippo: The watering hole has never gone dried before!
Giraffe #1: We're gonna need a lot more dying holes.
Bobby: How did this happen?
Makunga: [enters] Out of my way! What is going on here?!
Bobby: The watering hole's dried up! There's barely enough water for one of us!
Makunga: Yes. Good observation, Shirley.
Bobby: I'm Bobby.
Giraffe #1: Makunga, what do we do?
Makunga: QUIET! Listen up! I'm afraid there is only one solution to this horrible crisis: We'll all have to fight for it.
Hippo: Fight for it? We can't fight for it.
Cape Buffalo: This is crazy.
Bobby: That's not fair. You'd win!
Makunga: Exactly, Shirley.
Bobby: I'm Bobby. [Makunga kicks him away]
Makunga: Sorry, folks, but life isn't fair. I'm in charge now, thanks to Alakay, the dancing lion.
Timo: Please, Makunga. This is the only water on the reserve.
Makunga: If you're thirsty, you'll have to look for water off the reserve.
[The animals goes talking about it, Alex looks back and remembered how he left the reserve when he got caught in the crate by the poachers when he was a little cub while Zuba tried to rescue him.]
Alex: I left the reserve! And survived. I can do something about this. Looks like a clogged pipe. Like we get in New York all the time. I'll just travel upriver...
Makunga: You? [laughing]
Alex: Yeah! Me! I'll unclog the pipe and bring back your water.
Makunga: Great! I'd help you pack; but the looks of that hat, I see you're all set! [laughing]
Alex: Yeah. Fine. Go ahead. Laugh! Laugh your mane off! I'm gonna prove you wrong. [turns to leave]
Makunga: [watches Alex leave] Maybe you should try a little rain dance. [scatting and laughing]
Giraffe #1: Zuba would know what to do.
Giraffe #2: Where's Zuba?!
Elephant: You don't care about us!
Hippo: Zuba should be in charge, not you!
Makunga: [growling] ALL RIGHT!! FINE! As an added measure, I will consult with Zuba!
[the union monkeys have gone on strike. Mason and Phil are with Skipper at the negotiating table]
Mason: The plane won't be fixed until the suits meet our demands. Now, about maternity leave.
Skipper: "Maternity leave"? [glances under the table] You're all males...
Marty: Look, we need that plane for a rescue mission.
Skipper: Well, there's nothing I can do until we bust up this union.
Gloria: I'm gonna get to busting up all you if you don't get this plane going!
Skipper: Can't you see these commies have my hands tied here! No maternity leave!
Mason: [nudges Phil, who pulls out incriminating photos of Skipper and "Doll" in compromising positions] Maybe a certain someone wouldn't want these blowing around on the savanna? Hmm?
Skipper: [reluctantly] All right, you get your maternity leave.
[a whistle blows in the background and the monkeys get back to fixing the plane]
Marty: Finally.
Nana: That was beautiful. Now let's eat!
Alex: Dad, look out!
Zuba: What the...?
Marty: Alex, get in!
Alex: She's got a gun! Let's get out while we can!
Marty: What?
Alex: She's got a gun! Let's get out while we can! Pass it on.
[the chimpanzees chatter the message all the way up the chain]
Mason: He said, "She's got a gun! Let's get out while we can!"
Marty: Skipper, Alex wants to take out the dam!
Skipper: All right. [on the intercom] It's his funeral.
Marty: What?
Skipper: [on the intercom] Hard to port!
Gloria: Aye-aye, Skippy!
Melman: Bring it on! Bring it on! Whoo!
Nana: Come back! That's my dinner!
Skipper: Kowalski, full throttle. Music.
Private: [puts in a tape that plays "At The Copa (Copacabana)" by Barry Manilow] Oh, I like this song.
Kowalski: It never gets old.
Skipper: It does have a catchy hook. Come about! Bring her in low! [on the intercom] Hold on to your skirts! It's dam-busting time!
Gloria: Hold on tight, baby! Here we go!
Alex: Tell them, "No! Pull up! They'll kill us! There's got to be another way!" Pass it on!
[the chimpanzees chatter the message all the way up the chain]
Mason: They said, "No! Pull up! They'll kill us! There's got to be another way!"
Marty: Are you sure?
Skipper: Men, there's no sacrifice greater than someone else's. ["Doll's" head gets blown off by Nana's shotgun] No!! Medic!!
[Rico pulls out the tape while Nana throws away her shotgun before swinging her purse]
Skipper: Ramming speed!
Nana: [twirling her purse] Bring it on! [all scream as they're about to crash head-first into the dam] Bad kitties.
King Julien: I don't know why the sacrifice didn't work. The science seemed so solid. I'd jump right in that volcano if I wasn't so good at whistling. [as he blows raspberries, Mort suddenly shows up behind them]
Mort: Oh! Oh-ho! It's you! I found you!
King Julien: Mort? [as Mort staggers towards Julien and Maurice, the shark comes up behind him and chases him again]
Mort: Bad fishy! [the trio jumps out of the way as the shark jumps into the lava below; Mort giggles after the shark had died]
Maurice: I wonder if the gods like seafood.
King Julien: Let's go find out. [the trio climbs up to the edge and witness the water rushing back into Africa] Look, Maurice.
Maurice: That was quick.
King Julien: I did it! I did it! I did it! [the volcano briefly erupts, then goes quiet again] Okay, you did it!
Mort: Oh, yes!
Makunga: Out of my way. Well, well, well. You know, Zuba, if I remember correctly, you quit the pride. And you were kicked out. So don't think for an instant that this changes anything.
Alex: You're right. In fact, we humbly present you with this token of appreciation. It's a man bag. Very popular where I'm from.
Makunga: I don't know what to say.
Alex: You can still be tough and carry your stuff.
Makunga: My, does this strip adjust? Yes. I think this will go very nicely for me when I go out hiking, but I'm afraid you're still banished.
Alex: We figured you'd say that. [Zuba pulls down the bucket, revealing that Nana was inside it]
Nana: [gasps] My handbag! You bad kitty! [kicks Makunga's crotch, steps on his foot, uses her ruler to hit his hand and wet willies his left ear]
Makunga: [last words] No, no, no, no, no, no, no! [Nana then spanks Makunga's butt]
Alex: [winces] Ooh! [Nana grabs Makunga by the ear before dragging him away. Zuba picks up his staff and holds it to his son]
Zuba: You deserve this, son. Welcome to the pride.
Alex: Thanks, Dad... but this belongs to you.
Zuba: No, no, son. To us! [father and son then raise the staff in the air for the animals to see] My son! The King of New York!
Florrie: Whoo! That's my baby!
