Madagascar


"Suprise!"
"Aaah!"
"Alex, Kate, do not interrupt me when I'm daydreaming."
"Come on, Marty, just wanted to wish you a happy birthday."
"Hey, thanks."
"Hey, I got something stuck in my teeth, It's driving me crazy."
"Can you help me out here, please?"
"Alright."
"I don't see it."
"It's on the left."
"Aah!"
"Sorry."
"Just don't talk with your mouth full."
"Say aah. Right in here. What the heck is this doing in there?"
"Happy birthday!"
"Aw, thanks, man. You put it behind your tooth. You're okay!"
"These aren't even on the shelf yet."
"Take look. Look at that, it's snowing."
"This snowglobe will be sold in the winter season."
"Say, Marty, what's wrong?"
"The present's good. It's just that another year has come and gone and I'm doing the same old thing. Stand over here, walk over there, eat some grass, walk back to the treadmill."
"We see your problem. You just gotta get out of that old routine."
"Do something different every day."
"Really?"
"You know, make it fresh."
"Okay, I'll do that."
"Works for me."
"Look at the time."
"Get back to places."
"Places everyone."
"Action!"
"It's showtime!"
"Be ready, animals!"
"I enjoy doing this at the zoo. Don't you, Humphrey?"
"I enjoy it alright. Especially because Kate and I are together. Not to mention the pack."
"Say, what's that?"
"You quadrupeds, where are we?"
"Manhattan."
"Blast it. We're still in New York."
"Wait. What are you fellas doing?"
"We're digging to Antarctica."
"You mean the South Pole?"
"Can you keep a secret, my misfit friends?"
"Sure."
"Do you ever see any penguins running free in this city?"
"No, we don't."
"Of course not."
"We don't belong here. It's not natural. We're going to the wild."
"You can go there?"
"Actually, Marty, Humphrey and I and the pack once lived out in the wild."
"You actually lived there?"
"Yes, we did."
"Hey, it's closing time."
"What do we do?"
"We prepare for the party."
"This is a great life here in this zoo."
"Come on, Marty, make a wish."
"What did you wish for?"
"I wished I could go to the wild!"
"What?!"
"The wild?! Whoa!" Melman swallowed his noisemaker."
"Melman!" "I told ya it was bad luck."
"Guys, help me out here."
"Are you nuts? That is the worst idea I have ever heard."
"It's unsanitary!"
"The penguins are going, so why can't I? And Kate, Humphrey, and their pack lived out there, so what's the big deal?"
"The penguins are psychotic and the wolves had experience out there."
"Come on. Just imagine going back to nature. Clean air, wide open spaces."
"Well, the state of Connecticut has wide open spaces."
"Marty, there's certainly none of this out there."
"This is a highly refined type of food that you do not find in the wild."
"Actually, Alex, you gotta-"
"Don't say it, Kate."
"Uh, forget what I was going to say."
"You ever thought there's more to life than steak, Alex?"
"Alright, now that's crazy talk, Marty."
"Humphrey's right, Marty."
"Doesn't it bother you guys that you don't know anything about outside this zoo and that, Kate, Humphrey, the wolf pack, and James know what life is like outside this zoo?"
"No."
"Thanks, guys. Thanks for the party. It was great. Really."
"What's eating him?"
"Maybe you should talk to him, guys."
"Hey, I already gave him a snowglobe."
"I can't top that."
"Well, I can see where this is going. Well, it is getting late. I guess I'm gonna-" Melman instantly fell asleep.
 "You guys have gotta talk to him."
"No, we can't do it!"
"Do it!" "Come on, he's your friend."
"Okay, we'll do it."
"Night, guys!"
"Good night, Gloria."
"Say, Marty, from time to time, everyone thinks that the grass might be greener somewhere else."
"Guys, look at me."
"I'm ten years old. My life is half over. I don't even know if I'm white with black stripes or black with white stripes."
"So what are you gonna do, just go running off that to the wild be yourself?"
"No."
"Good."
"All of us, let's go."
"What?!"
"You're joking."
"Yeah, I'm joking alright."
"I guess we gotta hit the sack."
"Yeah."
"Night, Alex."
"Night, Marty."
"Good night, Kate."
"Night, Humphrey." Everything was quiet. But tonight would change forever.o
"Alex!" "Wake up, Alex!"
"Wha-"
"Eh, you suck your thumb?"
"Ahahahahha!"
"That's very funny guys."
"Well, Kate got up to pee and she did. But on her way back, she looked into Marty's pen."
"And she noticed that he wasn't there."
"So, what are talking about, guys?"
"Marty's gone!"
"Gone? What do you mean by gone?"
"He's not in his area."
"Where would he go?"
"I bet he's going to Connecticut!"
"We gotta go out there and get him!"
"He's probably lost, cold, and confused."
Contrary to his belief, Marty was having the time of his life.
"Wolves, move out!"
"To the station!"
"Intervention!"
They used the subway to travel to Grand Central Station.
"Here's our stop."
"Move, animals!"
"I got him!"
"How could you do this to us?!"
"What's the big deal? I was coming back in the morning!"
"Don't do this again!"
"Uh-oh."
"We've got company!"
"It's the man."
"I got this guys."
"Good evening officers."
"Shhh."
"Hey, how ya doing? Everything's alright. Just went a little cuckoo."
"Hey, don't call me cuckoo."
"Shush!"
"Ow!"
"Alex, you- Ow!"
"Kate! Yeowch!"
"Humphrey!"
Everyone was shot with a sedator gun and boxed up in crates.
"What happened?"
"We've been tranquilized and confined to boxes."
"Hey, guys, the wolves' boxes have windows."
"Whoa!"
"What's going on?!"
"I think that- Aaaaaah!"
That night, Alex's crate washed up on Madagascar. The next day, the others arrived on the island in the same way.
"I'm gonna kill you, Marty!"
"Stop!"
"We just gotta find the people and have this mess straightened out."
They met King Julien and his lemurs.
"We gotta get outta here!"
"Help!"
"Hey, a sewer system!"
"No, it's a grave!"
"You sent Melman to his grave!"
"This isn't the end. This is a new beginning. This could be the best thing that ever happened to us."
"This is not the best thing that happened to us."
"Come on, Alex. The wolf pack is out in the wild again."
"But Marty abused the power of that birthday wish."
"I didn't intend to tell you."
Alex drew a line in the sand and said that Marty's side was the bad side and the other side was a good side.
"We're with Marty."
"I think we should go with them."
"You're absolutely right, Kate."
The pack went to Marty's side and enjoyed Marty's food and home. While trying to build a beacon of liberty to attract a boat and get rescued. Melman burned it down.
"You maniac! You burned it up! Darn you! Darn you all to the heck!"
"Can we go to the fun side now?"
Everyone but Alex went to the fun side.
"I hope Alex will join us."
"Don't worry, Kate. I'm sure he will."
"Let's hope so, Humphrey."
Just then, they heard a knock on the door.
"Be quiet. It could be Alex."
"Hey, it is Alex."
"Well, look who decided to be a good friend again."
"Come on in, Alex."
"Very impressive."
"Hey, have a drink it's one of our best ones."
"Ugh! This is seawater."
"Oh, you don't swallow it. It's just temporary til plumbing is done."
"I got my own."
"Hey, you guys look hungry. How would you like some of nature's goodness?"
"You've got food?"
"What is it?"
"Seaweed on a stick."
"Sorry. My soda went down my windpipe. Wait. Did you say seaweed on a stick?" "
Yep. Don't love it till you try it."
"Marty, some of us don't eat plants."
"Kate's right. We wolves prefer meat to plants."
