Hey, I already gave him

a snow globe. I can't top that.

I can see where this is going.

It is getting late.

I guess I'm going to...

Come on. He's your best friend.

All right, all right. OK.

- Night, Marty.

- Night, Glo.

What a day.

I mean, I tell you, it just doesn't

get any better than this, you know?

Ooh! It just did. Even the star's out.

Not going to find a star

like that in the wild.

Helicopter.

Marty. Buddy. Listen.

Everybody has days when they think the

grass might be greener somewhere else.

Alex.

Look at me.

I'm ten years old.

My life is half over.

And I don't even know

if I'm black with white stripes...

...or white with black stripes.

Marty.

I'm thinking of a song.

Alex. Please. Not now.

Oh, yes. It's a wonderful song.

I think you're familiar with it.

Oh, no. Oh, no, you don't.

No, no, no.

I'm not listening.

Start spreadin' the news

I don't know you.

I'm leaving today

- We are a great big part of it

- He's funny. Who is that?

Come on. You know

you know the words.

Two little words.

New York.

New York

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

Hey, I'm sleeping here!

We're not all nocturnal!

I'll knock your "turnal" right off, pal.

Yeah, you and what army, stripes?

You mess with him,

you mess with me, Howard.

- You're a bigmouth lion.

- See? Mr. Grumpy Stripes.

We make a great team,

the two of us.

We sure do. No doubt about it.

So, what are you going to do? Go

running off to the wild by yourself?

- No.

- Good.

You and me. Let's go.

- What?

- The wild.

Come on. You and me together.

It's a straight shot

down Fifth Avenue to Grand Central.

We'll grab a train, we'll head north.

We can be back by morning.

No one will ever know.

You're joking. Right?

Yeah. I'm joking. Of course

I'm joking. Give me a break.

Like we're going to get a train.

Don't do that. You really

had me worried there.

Oh, well. I guess I'll hit the sack.

Yeah, me too. I'll need

to rest my voice for tomorrow.

It's Seniors' Day, you know.

Have to roar extra loud.

Give them a little jolt. You know?

Good night, Ally Al.

They forgot to turn off

the ambience again.

Don't worry. It's cool.

You know, I got it.

Much better.

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.

Alex. Alex. Alex!

What? What?

You suck your thumb?

What is it, Melman?

You know how I have

that bladder infection

and I have to get up

every two hours?

I got up to pee and looked over at

Marty's pen, which I usually don't do.

I don't know why, but I did. And...

What? What's going on?

It's Marty. He's gone.

Gone! What do you mean, "gone"?

How long has he been working on this?

Marty!

Marty!

He wouldn't fit down there.

Marty? Marty! Marty!

This doesn't make any sense.

Where would he go?

- Connecticut!

- He wouldn't.

Oh, no! What are we going to do?

I mean, we got to call somebody!

Hello? Get me Missing Animals.

And hurry.

We've got a lost zebra on

the way to Connecticut, and we need...

- Hello? Hello?

- Wait a second.

- We can't call the people.

- What the?

They'll be really mad.

It'll get Marty transferred.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

I know that's right.

We got to go after him.

He's not thinking straight.

Stop him from making

the biggest mistake of his life.

He's probably out there

lost and cold, confused.

Poor little guy.

Come on.

One of us should wait

in case he comes back.

Not now. This is an intervention.

We all got to go.

What's the fastest way

to Grand Central?

- You should take Lexington.

- Melman!

- OK. "We." We should take Lexington.

- What about Park?

No, Park goes two ways.

You can't time the lights.

I heard Tom Wolfe

is speaking at Lincoln Center.

Well, of course we're

going to throw poo at him.

We should've taken Park.

Sure this is the fastest way

to Grand Central Station?

I don't know!

That's what Melman said.

Hey. Hey, you, guys.

That room has some nifty little

sinks you can wash up in, and look!

Free mints!

This isn't a field trip.

This is an urgent mission to save

Marty from throwing his life away.

Now, where's the train?

Here it comes.

What did Marty say to you?

I asked you to talk to him.

I did! I did! I don't understand.

He said, "Let's go."

I said, "Are you crazy?"

He says, "I'm ten years old."

And he has black-and-white stripes,

and so then we sang and...

What you got to do is go

straight back down West 42nd.

It's on your left after Vanderbilt.

If you hit the Chrysler Building,

you've gone too far.

Thanks a lot, officer.

Hey! Wait for the light.

Freak.

- Did you say "zebra"?

- That's right. A zebra.

Right in front of me.

- Can I shoot it?

- Negative.

Then I'm going to need some backup.

- Aw! Knicks lost again.

- What are you going to do.

Did that say "Grand Central Station"

or "my aunt's constipation"?

This is it.

Grand Central Station.

It's grand and it's central.

Move aside. We have an emergency here.

This is an emergency situation.

Hey, hey. Just chill out.

It's not that big of an emergency.

Upstairs, downstairs.

How do you like that?

Lady! What is wrong with you?

Ow! Get a grip on yourselves, people.

You're a bad kitty.

Dagnabbit! I missed the express.

Looks like I'll have

to take the Stamford local.

I got him! I've got him!

He's got him!

He's got him!

He's got him! He's got...

I got something for you!

I'm OK. I'm OK.

Whoa! What are

you guys doing here?

- I am so glad we found you.

- We were so worried about you.

Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Look at me. I'm fine.

You're fine? Oh, he's fine. Oh, great.

You hear that? Marty's fine.

That's good to know.

Because I was wondering...

How could you do this to us?

I thought we were your friends!

What's the big deal?

I was coming back.

Don't ever do this again.

You hear me?

- Do you hear him?

- We're running out of time.

Oh, Melman, you broke their clock?

...do this again! Don't you ever,

ever do this again!

Come here.

We've been ratted out, boys.

Hold your fire!

Cute and cuddly, boys.

Cute and cuddly.

If you have any poo, fling it now.

It's the Man.

Good evening, officers.

No. No. No. You don't talk now. OK?

You're not good with the

"putting words together

and their coming out good" thing.

You keep it "shh".

Hey! How you doing?
