Captain Dubois, l am so happy

to see you! You will not believe...

Get back, you fool! Your cheap cologne

is obscuring the animal musk!

Oh, my face!

Poor, poor animals.

You should never have left the forest.

Now you deal with me.

Kowalski, signal the chimps to meet us

at the rendezvous point

with the Super Plane.

Hotel Ambassador. Let's move it!

Voil. Giraffe at twelve o'clock.

Guys, we've got a tail.

Paparazzi!

Pedal to the metal, Private.

Don't take any photos, please!

Hi!

Here l am!

Don't take... any... photos.

- No more pictures!

- Medic!

- ETA to rendezvous point?

- Two minutes, 37 seconds, sir.

Man your battle stations!

Hey! Wait! Nobody's at the wheel!

Get back there! Negative on the driver!

There's no driver!

Help! Nobody's driving!

Oh, no! We're going to die!

Don't just sit there, fancy pants.

Grab the wheel!

Are you kidding?

l don't drive. l'm a New Yorker!

Move over, Miss Daisy!

What are you doing? Zebras can't drive!

Only penguins and people can drive.

What do all these buttons do?

Help me!

Nice one, Stripes!

Crazy woman gaining!

Our Omega-3 slick will take them down.

Private, activate!

She's good!

Kowalski, intel.

Sir. We have a serious problem.

Captain Chantal Dubois.

Monaco Animal Control.

Perfect case record.

You're going the wrong way, Marty!

Just call me Marty-o Andretti.

No. You're Sucky-o Andretti!

Stop backseat driving!

l'm passenger-seat driving.

Give me the wheel.

lt's not a wheel, it's my baby!

Your hoofs aren't meant to be on a wheel!

- Hey! Too late for you to drive!

- Don't look at me!

Don't look at me when we argue!

Look at the road!

Be cool, be cool!

Hi, Officer. ls there a problem?

Hi.

Watch out!

We need more power.

Time to fire up

Kowalski's nucular reactor.

- That's a nuclear reactor?

- Nucular.

She's on the roof!

But, sir, it's not ready.

The control rods

will have to be calibrated.

And don't even ask me

about the Uranium-238 blanket.

OK.

OK, Marty, we lost her!

Maybe you can slow down now.

l can't! There's no brakes!

No brakes?

Way to commit, soldier.

Let's get out of here!

Go, go, go! Move! Now!

Hey, where's everybody going?

l'm flying!

l'm flying!

l'm the first flying monkey!

Oh, yay!

That's our ticket out of here!

Yeah, baby!

Everybody!

On the monkey chain!

Deploy banana gun!

Grab the little guys! Toss them up!

Let's go! Go, go, go! Go!

Faster! Faster! Faster! Come on!

Come on, Melman!

Yeah!

Melman!

My neck!

Put your backs into it!

Double banana overtime!

Serpentine! Serpentine!

Hey, this lady's

really starting to freak me out.

Fix it, Mort.

Hold this.

Alex, be careful! She's crazy!

You think, Marty?!

That's right! Home free, baby!

l can breathe!

Au revoir, Dubois!

Well played, lion.

Game on.

New York, New York

lt's a heck of a town

- The Bronx is up

- But the Battery's down

New York, New York

Kowalski, status report.

So the good news is

this song is almost over.

Well, that's music to my ears.

And the bad news?

The gear assembly is badly damaged, sir.

lt's only a matter of time before...

Why can't we ever

just make a normal landing?

Oh, man!

Hold on, Melman. OK?

l'll get you down, sweetie.

Where is he?

Must find King Julien. King Julien!

lt's getting hot in here

So take off all your fur

l am getting so hot

l want to take my fur off

Skipper, what about the plane?

The chimps will work through the night.

No breaks, no safety restrictions.

Hey, where are you going?

Get back here! We have a contract!

Yes. Well, l'm afraid labor laws

are slightly more lenient in France.

You see, they only have to work

two weeks a year.

Well, someone else

has the Canadian work ethic!

But you penguins,

you can still fix it, right? Right?

Yeah, yeah. You're

a little crackerjack, can-do team.

You want me to give it to you straight?

Yes! Yes! No.

Bend it a little?

Well, the plane's totaled.

Kaput, blammo, busted!

Never to fly again.

So that's it? That's it then,

we're never gonna get home?

No! We've got to get home!

We can fix it! We'll fix it!

Yeah, guys, come on, we'll fix it!

You just start from the outside pieces,

and you work your way in.

And, yeah, perfect!

Come on! Don't just stand there, guys.

Marty! Drag that thingy over here.

And we'll just attach it

to this dealy-bob over here. And...

We're not going home.

We're never going home.

lt's the fuzz!

What are we gonna do?

We can't hide forever!

And we can't just blend!

You know this ain't Africa.

Oh, what's the point?

Tell me one conceivable way

that extra-large animals like us

are gonna be able

to move through Europe

without attracting unwanted attention.

Hey...

Where are you coming from?

Please, you got to hide us.

Just until the heat dies down.

Absolut no outsiders.

So wipe that Smirnoff your face

and Popov!

Come on, man. You gotta do

one cat a solid. Cat to cat.

Do a solid here, buddy. Come on.

Nyet! This train is

for circus animals only.

They sound like they be in trouble.

Stefano, we do not invite trouble

into our circus. l don't trust lion.

Hair too big and glossy!

Aw, come on, Vitaly, you're being mean.

He not lion.

He lioness... with a beehive.

This is awkward.

We can hear everything they're saying.

lt is not our problem!

No, no! Wait, wait, wait!

Just give us a minute. He's on the phone

and... can't get him off!

We cannot leave them there!

Only circus animals on this train!

Wait, listen! We are circus animals.

You got to let us in!

You are really circus?

Yes. Full circus!

My momma was circus.

My daddy was circus.

Gia! Shut the door!

Please.

Over there! Over there!

They are circus. Circus stick together.

Wow! Circus americano!

You must all be very famous!

- Yeah, we...

- Absolutely.

We're relatively well known...

But Alex is really the star.

Well, l'm not... l wouldn't say "star."

More like... well, star.

What is your act, Alice?

Well... l basically,

uh, l jump up on my rock...

- Rock?

- Yeah. lt's a very high... rock.

- A really high rock!

- And then?

And then, well, l roar like...

like a serious "Rawrrr!"

- And then?

- And then l jump off the rock.

- And then?!

- And then... And then what?

- That is all?

- lnto a pool!

- Full of water!

- Full of cobras!

Actually, it appears

like l'm jumping in to a pool...

- With cobras!

- Aquatic cobras.

For effect. But l actually pull up

at the last second.

- Pull up?

- Yeah.

- How do you do that?!

- Wire harness!

- Balloons!

- Jet pack!

l flip off the wire harness,

ignite myjet pack,

and then toss balloons

to the children of the world.

Kids love it. Kids always love that.

ls this like the trapeze?

Yes! Trapeze! Exactly!

Wow! Trapeze americano!

Hey, l have a great idea!

Maybe you come with us to Roma!

Hey, Vitaly is just playing around.

He is good, no?

Yeah, thanks. Thanks.

But we're gonna get off

at the next stop

so we can get back to America.

That is such a coincidence!
