What the heck is going on?

You are not ooh.. He was no! I thought he...

You are not him. He is ooh...

You thought that guy was me?

No, no, no. I mean yes, yes.

You do guys, come on.

You thought I was him?

You guys do kind of look a little a lot you look a lot alike.

Marty you look a lot alike, come on.

You laugh alike, you talk alike, he has the same sort of speech pattern...

I mean that is a little weird.

Really, you two guys are, come on Marty.

So you're saying there is nothing unique about me,

I am just like any other zebra.

No, of course you are different.

How?

How?

OK. I can't tell you apart.

Maybe you could wear a bell or something. I don't know.

A bell?

OK. not a bell, no bell is a bad idea.

No, no, no.

How about a t-shirt that says: "I'm with stupid."?

I am not stupid.

Not you stupid, him stupid!

You know what? While you have been off doing

prancing pony with the new p*ssy.

I have been having pretty much the worst day of my life, OK?

It's always about you, isn't it?

My problems are just a little bit bigger than yours Marty.

All right, I couldn't tell you apart.

So what?

Yeah fine, run away Marty! Run away.

That's what you do best, just like back in New York!

I'm right here. But you can't tell that right?

Your one in a million friend hopes you enjoy your

bigger than everyone else's problems, alone!

Good, leave! I don't need you to help me solve my problems.

You know what? You diame dust I can't tell which one is Marty.

Oh, which one is Marty? Wait a minute, wait a minute, oh yeah!

I don't care.

Nice hat, you show off!

Marty...

...don't go.

Look Maurice. Here is the perfect spot for my semi-palace,

so please fill in all these holes and relocate the roofed.

Oh, who'd leave a perfectly good head lying around.

What a waste.

Tell me about it. I'm in my prime here.

I'm terminal, you know.

Probably only have another two days left to live.

That's a bomber man.

Oh, if I King Julien, that's my name.

Only had two days left to live.

I'd do all the things I have ever dreamed of doing.

Like what?

I'd love to became a professional whistler.

I pretty amazing that I did know.

But I wanna get luck even better.

I'd make my living out of it.

You know what else I'd do?

I'd invade a neighboring country and impose...

...my own ideology even if they didn't want it.

It's easy for you to say, you are a king.

Yes. And you are only just a sad little head.

But there must be something

you want to do before you die.

Well...

There is this one thing.

What is it? Tell me.

Well. No, I couldn't. I mean.

What is it?

You know, I just never really have the guts to tell Gloria,

how I think about her.

What is it?

I don't really have the guts to tell Gloria,

how I feel about her.

What is it?

I have always felt about her.

Fine, don't tell me!

Is it a woman?

Oh, you didn't tell me we are talking about a woman.

What are you afraid of?

You are dead man anyway, come on.

Yeah?

Yeah...

Yeah, you are right.

Well, you gotta march right up to this woman, right?

You look her right in the eye, you lean forward, right?

Just a little, almost all the way.

Then you let her, like, lean forward, just a little bit until you're...

...just a lips distance away from each other.

And then you just tell her,

how much you hate her.

Actually, it's, it's more like love her.

Oh, you slave dog.

You're a real player, you know that?

Now listen to me.

You gotto raise up.

I can't hear you.

Yeah.

Good. You gotto raise up.

You gotto get out of the hole.

I'm raising up on the ground.

He's raising Maurice.

I'm raising Maurice.

You gotto go right up to this woman.

Yeah.

You gotto go right up to a fight.

Yeah, I tell her.

And then you gotto say: Baby, I dig you. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it.

I love that happy little head.

She loves me.

She loves my eyes.

She loves me.

She loves my ass.

She loves my roundness.

She loves that I'm chunky.

She loves that I'm plumpy.

She loves my healthiness.

She loves my zestiness.

She loves me restlessly.

She loves me forever.

She loves me, because she loves me.

Moto Moto before things get too serious, well...

...I was wondering if I were to for example stay here...

...I'd like to ask you

Let your candy lips bring the messages to my ear canal.

Well I don't know, I have so many questions.

Well I promise, the answer will always be yes...

...unless, no is required.

OK. So, what is it about me that you find so interesting?

Oh, you're the most plumpiness girl I've ever met.

OK. Other than that?

Let's see, you, you know, you are chunky.

Right.

Oh, my gosh girl you are huge.

You've said that.

Oh, yes right. We don't have to talk no more.

Gloria!

Gloria?

Melman?

Melman, I want you to meet with Moto Moto.

Ah, Moto Moto. Yeah.

Nice to, nice to meet you.

Well, I guess, I...

It's OK. Melman. Apology accepted.

Oh, yeah, right, yes. That, yes, that's why I... Good.

Oh, OK. That's well, that's it then.

You good, we're kind of a busy here man.

No! No, that's not it!

Listen Mototo, you'd better treat this lady like a queen.

Because you my friend, you found yourself the perfect woman.

If I was ever so lucky to find the perfect woman,

I would give her flowers every day. And not just any flowers, OK?

Her favorites are orchids.

White.

And breakfast in bed. Six loaves of wheat toast with butter on both sides.

No crusts. The way she likes it.

I'd be her shoulder to cry on and her best friend...

... and I'd spend every day trying to think of how to make her laugh.

She has the most...

...most amazing laugh.

Well, I mean. That's what I would do, if I were you.

But I'm not. So you do it.

Oh, OK. What?

That was beautiful.

Anyways, where were we?

I'm huge.

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 fun like a fool.

Had enough? Sure fly away. Coward.

The water, it's gone.

Oh, no.

The watering hole has never gone dry before.

We're gonna need a lot more dying holes.

How could this happen?

Out of my way.

What is going on here?

The watering hole is dried up, there's barely enough water for one of us.

Yes, good observation Shirley.

I'm Bobby.

Makunga what will we do?

Quiet!

Listen up. I'm afraid there is only one solution to this horrible crisis.

We'll all have to fight for it.

Fight for it? This is crazy.

That's not fair, you'd win.

Exactly Shirley.

I'm Bob...

Sorry folks, but life isn't fair.
