- Help! - What are you doing?!
I'm swimming back to New York.
I know my chances are slim, but I have to try!
- You can't swim! - I said my chances are slim!
Nature! It's all over me! Get it off! I can't see! I can't see!
I can see!
Look. There's obviously just been a little mistake.
The people didn't dump us here on purpose.
As soon as they realize what happened, they'll come looking for us, right?
Yeah, right.
I don't know the words But we're born free
You know something? I bet they're already on their way.
Well, boys, it's going to be ice-cold sushi for breakfast.
Rico.
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.
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 that's happened.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No. No. No. This is not the best thing that's happened to us.
You abused the power of the birthday wish and brought bad luck on all of us.
Why'd you tell your wish? You're not supposed to.
I didn't want to tell you. Remember?
- You guys made me tell you. - Oh, okay.
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...
Okay. Okay. 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
like a magical pixie horse and do whatever the heck you want.
This is the good side for those who love New York and care about going home.
- Come on. - No, no. Back! Back!
You know what? This isn't good.
Okay! 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.
This is the fun side,
where we'll have a great time surviving until we go home.
- A yabbadabbado old time! - This side's the best.
That side stinks! You're on the Jersey side of this cesspool!
- Wilma! - Now what do we do?
Don't worry. I have a plan to get us rescued.
Can't wait to see the look on Marty's face when he sees this.
Just look at him. He's helpless without us.
Shut up, Spalding.
I've been standing here for hours, man.
How long do I have to pose like this?
She is finito.
I defy any rescue boat within a million miles
to miss this baby.
When the moment is right, we will ignite the beacon of liberty
and be rescued from this awful nightmare!
What do you think? Pretty cool, huh?
- How's the liberty fire going, Melman? - Great. Idiot.
I heard that.
Why can't we just borrow some of Marty's fire?
That's wild fire. We're not using wild fire on Lady Liberty.
- Now, rub, Melman. - I've been doing...
I can't. I can't. I can't do it. I ju... I can't do it!
Fire.
Fire! Fire!
Oh, my
Fire!
Not yet! No, no! No!
Fire!
Melman, hold still!
Jump! Alex, jump!
Don't worry, cats always land on their...
Face? Man, what kind of cat are you?
You maniac!
You burned it up!
Darn you!
Darn you all to heck!
Can we go to the fun side now?
Everybody, calm down. Come on. Into your chairs.
Everybody, calm down. Let go of his tail.
Separate those two, would you, please?
You here, you there. Everyone...
Calm down, people, okay?
Now, presenting your royal highness, the illustrious blah, blah, blah.
You know, et cetera, et cetera. Hooray. Let's go.
Now, everybody,
we all have great curiosity about our guests, the New York giants.
- Yes, Willie? - I like them.
I like them. I liked them first. Before I even met them I liked them.
I liked them right away. You hate them compared to how much I like them.
Oh, shut up. You're so annoying!
Now, for as long as we can remember,
we have been attacked and eaten by the dreaded fossa.
The fossa! The fossa are attacking!
It's a cookbook! It's a cookbook!
Please. Maurice.
Quiet!
Come on, y'all. They're not attacking us this very instant.
So my genius plan is this:
We will make the New York giants
our friends and keep them close.
Then, with Mr. Alex protecting us,
we will be safe and never have to worry
about the dreaded fossa ever again.
I thought of that. I thought of that. Yes. Me. I did.
Hold on, everybody. Hold on. I'm just thinking now.
I mean, does anyone wonder why the fossa
were so scared of Mr. Alex?
I mean, maybe we should be scared too.
What if Mr. Alex is even worse than the fossa?
I tell you, that dude just gives me the heebiedabajeebies.
Maurice, you did not raise your hand.
Therefore, your heinous comment will be stricken from the record.
Does anyone else have the heebie-jeebies?
No? Good. So shut up.
When the New York giants wake up,
we will make sure that they wake up in paradise.
Now, who would like a cookie?
Yo, Al. Melman and Gloria are over there having a good time.
There's room on the fun side for one more.
No, thanks.
Look, I've been thinking. Maybe if you gave this place a chance,
I don't know, you might even enjoy yourself.
Marty, I'm tired. I'm hungry.
I just want to go home.
Could you just give it a chance? Think about it.
It really isn't the fun side without you.
I know. And then...
- It's him. - Who is it?
It's the pizza man. Who the heck do you think it is?
Yes? Can I help you?
Can I come to the fun side?
Beg your pardon?
You know, I've been kind of a jerk.
But I've been thinking about what you said, and I'm sorry.
Welcome to Casa del Wild. Take a load off.
Hey, hey, wipe your feet.
- Alex! - Mi casa is su casa.
Very impressive.
Hey, have a drink. It's on the house.
This is seawater.
Oh, you don't swallow it. It's just temporary till the plumbing's done.
Hey, y'all look hungry.
How would you like some of nature's goodness?
You have food?
The Fun Side Special, coming up.
Seaweed on a stick.
Seaweed?
On a stick. Don't love it till you try it.
That's unbelievable.
- So good. - Well, thanks.
It does kind of hit the spot, doesn't it?
Well, maybe it could use a little lemon.
No, it's great. It's really great. Doesn't get any better than this.
Oh, but it does.
Check this out.
Wow. Would you look at that.
It's like billions and billions of helicopters.
It's a shooting star. Make a wish. Quick!
Ooh! How about a thick, juicy steak?
You know what, Alex?
I promise you I'm going to find you a steak tomorrow if it kills me.
Thanks, Marty.
It is getting late. I guess I'm going to...
I think I'm going to hit the sack too.
Sweet dreams, everyone.
Alex.
What are you doing?
Twenty-seven, 28, 29. Thirty black and only 29 white.
Looks like you're black with white stripes after all.
Dilemma solved. Good night.
You see, Maurice, Mr. Alex was grooming his friend.
He is clearly a tender, loving thing.
How can you have the heebie-jeebies for Mr. Alex?
Look at him. He's so cute and plushy.
I don't think he was grooming him.
Look more like he was tasting him to me.
Suit yourself, no matter. I don't care.
Soon we will put my excellent plan to action.
All we have to do is wait
until they are deep in their sleep.
How long is this going to take?!
Well, this sucks!
Wake up, Mr. Alex.
Rise and shining.
Wakey-waking, Mr. Alex!
Wake up! Alex!
You suck your thumb?
Where are we? What the heck is going on?
Where's the beach? Take it easy.
- Who built a forest? - Don't be alarmed, giant freaks.
While you were asleep,
we simply took you to our little corner of heaven.
Welcome to Madagascar.
- Mada-who-ah? - What?
No, not whooha. Ascar.
Marty. It's...
Just like my mural back at the zoo.
Oh, no, fella, that is the real deal right there.
Look at that, that's not a bad view.
That's the thing that you were always looking at, but it's actually there.
- That's the real version of... - How about once around the park?
Let's get our blood pumping, lungs breathing this fresh air.
Who's with me?!
Naw. I don't think I could... You're it!
Hey! Want to play around?
Got you there!
Come here!
You're it.
Hey, stop that! Hey, you're crazy!
Okay, Marty, I'm it.
I'm it. I'm it. You win.
Come on, Alex, get in the groove.
I haven't eaten in two days.
My blood sugar's real low. I just don't have the energy.
I don't think that's your problem.
First of all, that's not how you run in the wild.
Let's go. Put the rubber to the road!
You just have to let out that inner lion.
- Now, who's the cat? - Marty, I really don't...
You are, that's who. Come on! Here we go!
That's it. Let's build up some steam! You the cat.
- Who's the cat? - You the cat.
Who's the cat? Who's the cat? Who's the cat? Who's the cat?
I'm the cat!
Surprise!
You're it. You're it!
Can’t juke the cat. Cat's too quick.
I feel like a mile-high pastrami on rye on the fly from the deli in the sky!
- Let's go wild! - Now you're talking!
Man! I feel different.
Noogie, noogie, noogie. Noogie, noogie, noogie!
Kind of charged up or something.
- Like you said, baby, it's... - Crackalacking.
- Ain't that right, Melman? - Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
I'm in heaven.
You see, Maurice, Alex is now our friend and the fossas are nowhere to be seen.
It could be said that my plan is working
in a very good working kind of way.
Alex. You got to try some of this.
I feel good. Feel like a king again.
King?
You should see his act.
Come on, Alex, why don't you show him some of your act.
Oh. No, I really don't think I could... Okay.
Ladies and gentlemen. Primates of all ages.
The wild proudly presents:
The king.
Alex the lion!
E flat, fellas.
Yeah! The king is in the house!
See, if he is the king, then where is his crown? I've got a crown.
Got a very nice one. And it's here on my head.
Look at it. Have I got it on?
Do the roar, man. Do the roar.
Wow. I've never heard that one before.
Yeah! Go wild, man! Come on!
Break out the wave!
Excuse me.
You're biting my butt.
- No, I'm not. - Yes, you are.
- What did you do? - You just bit me!
No. I didn't. Did I?
You kind of did.
What the heck is wrong with you?
Why'd you bite me?
- Man, it's because you are his dinner. - What?!
- Excuse me? - That's dumb.
Come, come, Maurice. What is a simple bite on the buttocks among friends?
Here, give me a nibble.
The party is over, Julien. Your brilliant plan has failed.
What are you talking about?
Your friend here is what we call
a deluxe-model hunting and eating machine.
And he eats steak...
...which is you.
- Get out of here. - Okey-dokey, Maurice, I admit it.
The plan failed.
All is lost! We're all doomed.
The fossas will come back and gobble us with their mouths because...
...we are all steak.
I'm steak! Me, me, me!
Mr. Alex cannot stay here.
He belongs with his own kind on the fossa side of the island.
By the power vested in me,
by the law of the jungle, blah, blah, blah, blah...
Be gone!
What? Come on, do I look like a steak to you?
Yeah!
See, I told you I don't look like a... Wait. What you say?
Oh, yeah!
- He's going savage. - Run for your lives.
Marty, run!
A bull's eye. Excellent shot, Maurice.
Thank you.
Marty?
I'm so sorry, Marty.
What is wrong with me?
Ow.
Oh, no.
What have I done?
It's true. I'm a monster.
I got to get out of here.
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.
Okay.
Come on, we are New Yorkers, right?
We're tough. We're gritty.
We're adaptable!
And we are not going to lay down like a bunch of Melmans.
No, we're not.
Oh. Gloria.
That was not me, okay? That was the boat.
- The boat! - The boat?
The boat's come back for us! Come on, guys, we got to flag it down.
There it is!
- Hey, over here! - Over here!
Over here! Yo!
Melman, give me a lift. Hurry up! Lift me up!
Help! Help! Help!
- Oh, my neck. My neck. You guys. - Over here!
- Melman! Steady. This way! - You have no idea how much this hurts.
Hey, boat! We're over here!
Look! It's turning! It's coming back! It's coming back!
Come on! Come on, baby!
Yes! You guys.
You flag down that boat. I'll get Alex.
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, we got to flag down that boat.
Now, this is more like it.
You?! Oh, ma... Where are the people?
We killed them and ate their livers.
Got you, didn't I?
Just kidding, doll, the people are fine.
They're on a slow lifeboat to China.
Hey, I know you two.
Where's that psychotic lion and our monochromatic friend?
Marty? He's righ... Where did he go? He was right behind us.
He went back for Alex. He's going to get himself killed!
Well, boys, our monochromatic friend's in danger.
Looks like we have a job to do.
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.
Alex! Come out, Alex!
The boat's here! We can go home!
Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex!
Alex! Alex! Alex!
Alex!
Marty?
Snap out of it, Alex. The boat came back. We can get out of here.
We can go back to civilization, and everything will be like it used to be.
Stay back.
Please.
I'm a monster.
Alex, you're no monster. You're my friend.
We're a team. You and me, remember?
I don't want to hurt you.
Alex.
I ain't leaving without you.
Alex? I'm thinking of a song.
It's a wonderful song. I'm sure you're familiar with it.
Start spreadin' the news
I'm leaving today
We are a great big part of it
Come on, you know the words. Two little words.
Please don't make me sing this by myself.
You really don't want to hear me sing this by myself.
Uh, Alex? Could you come out here for a minute?
Hey, Alex, a little help.
Help me!
Alex! Help!
Help me! Anybody, help me! Somebody!
Help!
- Melman? - That's right, baby.
Run!
- What's the plan? - This is the plan.
- Fossa hungry. - Fossa eat.
This is the plan?
Fossa halt.
Fossa ooh.
Fossa aaahh.
Fossa ooh.
Fossa aaahh.
Come and get it.
Fossa.
- Take that. - Fossa ow!
There's too many of them, skipper.
It's been a real pleasure serving with you boys.
Alex?
That's my kill.
Mine.
Alex hungry.
Alex eat.
It's showtime.
Thanks for not giving up on me.
Man, you almost gave me a heart attack. You can’t just come sneak up on me.
Just because you're a lion... Let go of me. Let go of me.
We're getting out of here. Guys, just go with me on this.
Like I said, it's showtime.
Mine.
My kill.
They're all mine.
It's the king of the beasts! Oh, no!
- Don't eat me! - He's big and scary!
Fear me! Savagery beyond comprehension.
- I am far too young to die! - You're a monster! A monster, I say!
- And, you! - Me?
Oh, you want some of this? Ooh! You better run for your lives.
- Somebody call a cop! - He's psychotic!
This is my territory. Understand?
I never, ever want to see you on my turf again.
Boo.
Yeah! You the cat!
Got my boy back!
I did it!
Give me some love! The plan worked! The plan worked! I'm very clever!
I'm the one, baby! Come on. Time to robot.
I am very clever king.
I am super genius.
I am robot king of the monkey things.
- Compute, compute. - So, what's for lunch?
- Close those eyes. - Why do I have to?
- Do it. - They're closed.
- Tighter. - Yes, sir.
- No peeking. - They're closed.
Rico.
Hai.
Open that hatch.
Fire in the hole. Now chew.
Chew like you mean it. Savor it.
- And? - Well?
Pretty good, right?
There's always Plan B.
This is better than steak.
I love it. I love it!
The kitty loves the fishy.
Well, I propose a toast.
Now, he may be a pain in the butt at times...
And trust me, I know.
But this cat proved to me without a doubt
that his heart is bigger than his stomach.
- To Alex. - To Alex.
Enough! Stop it!
What do you think? Should we head back to New York?
I don't know. I mean, this is your dream.
You sure you want to leave?
I don't care where we are.
As long as we're together, it doesn't matter to me.
Well, in that case...
Yo. Rico. I'll take 300 orders to go.
Hai.
But before you leave, I have an announcement to make.
So shut up, everyone, please. Thank you.
After much deep and profound brain things inside my head,
I have decided to thank you
for bringing peace to our home.
And to make you feel good,
I'm going to give you this lovely parting gift.
No, I couldn't. Really, I can't take your crown.
That's okay, I've got a bigger crown.
It's got a gecko on it.
Look at him shake. Go, Stevie, go!
- Bye, little fuzzbuckets! - Thanks for everything!
- So long! - Bye-bye, now.
- Arrivederci. - Bye-bye.
- Toodle-oo! - See you later, crocodile.
Maurice, my arm is tired. Wave it for me.
Faster, you naughty little monkey.
By the time we get back to New York, it'll be the middle of winter.
So I was just thinking, why rush?
Maybe we could make a few side stops along the way.
- Maybe Paris. - You just read my mind.
- I was thinking Spain. - Run with the bulls.
- What about Fiji? - Canada. Can we?
Cheap meds.
I wouldn't even mind coming back here sometime.
- I could do that. - You could say that again.
- Skipper? - I always wanted to go to Australia.
Don't you think we should tell them that the boat's out of gas?
Nah.
Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave.
