Marty
- [Marty the Zebra and Alex the Lion running towards each other on the beach in slow motion with arms outstretched and Chariots of Fire music]
- Alex the Lion: Marty!
- Marty the Zebra: Alex!
- Alex the Lion: Marty!
- Marty the Zebra: Alex!
- Alex the Lion: Marty!
- Marty the Zebra: Alex!
- Alex the Lion: [angrily] Marty!
- Marty the Zebra: [afraid] Alex?
- Alex the Lion: [real-time] Marty!
- Marty the Zebra: Oh, Sugar Honey Ice Tea!
- Marty the Zebra: 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!
- Skipper the Penguin: You, quadruped. Sprechen Sie Englisch?
- Marty the Zebra: I sprechen.
- Skipper the Penguin: What continent is this?
- Marty the Zebra: Manhattan.
- Skipper the Penguin: Hoover Dam! We're still in New York! Abort! Dive! Dive! Dive!
- Marty the Zebra: What are you guys doing?
- Private the Penguin: We're digging to Antartica!
- [Skipper smacks Private]
- Marty the Zebra: An-who-tica?
- Skipper the Penguin: Can you keep a secret, my monochromatic friend?
- [Marty looks around and nods]
- Skipper the Penguin: Do you ever see any penguins running free around New York City?
- [Marty shakes his head]
- Skipper the Penguin: Of course not. We don't belong here. It's just not natural. This is all some kind of wacked out conspiracy. We're going to the wide open spaces of Antarctica! To the wild!
- Melman the Giraffe: [Melman presents Marty with a gift-wrapped thermometer]
- Marty the Zebra: Aw a thermometer! Thanks! I love it Melman, I love it!
- [he puts it in his mouth and poses]
- Melman the Giraffe: I really wanted to give you a personal present. Do you know that was my first rectal thermometer?
- Marty the Zebra: Motherf...
- [Marty spits it out and retches]
- Alex the Lion: Today was a great day. It just doesn't get any better than this, you know? Oh, look, it just did. Even the star is out. You won't find a star like that in the wild.
- Marty the Zebra: Helicopter.
- Alex the Lion: The wild? Are you nuts? That is the worst idea I have ever heard!
- Melman the Giraffe: It's unsanitary!
- Marty the Zebra: The penguins are going, so why can't I?
- Alex the Lion: The penguins are psychotic!
- Marty the Zebra: [about King Julian] He's got style.
- Alex the Lion: What is he, like, king of the guinea pigs?
- Melman the Giraffe: I think it's a squirrel.
- Julian: Welcome, giant pansies. Please feel free to bask in my glow.
- Alex the Lion: Definitely a squirrel.
- Melman the Giraffe: Yep, a squirrel.
- Marty the Zebra: Alex, do not interrupt me when I'm daydreaming. If a zebra's in the zone, leave him alone.
- Gloria the Hippo: Melman! Are you okay?
- Melman the Giraffe: Yeah. I often doze off while I'm getting an MRI.
- Alex the Lion: Melman, you're not getting an MRI.
- Melman the Giraffe: CAT scan?
- Alex the Lion: No! No CAT scan! It's a transfer! It's a zoo transfer!
- Melman the Giraffe: Zoo transfer? Oh, no. No, no. I can't be transferred. I have an appointment with Dr. Goldberg at five. There are prescriptions that have to be filled! No other zoo can afford my medical care! And I am NOT going HMO!
- Marty the Zebra: Take it easy, Melman. We are gonna be o-kizzay.
- Alex the Lion: No, we're not gonna be o-kizzay! Because of you, we're ruined!
- Marty the Zebra: Did you ever think that there might be more to live than steak, Alex?
- Alex the Lion: [to his steak] He didn't mean that, baby. No, no, no.
- Gloria the Hippo: It's not people, it's animals.
- Melman the Giraffe: California animals. Dude.
- Marty the Zebra: This is like a Puffy party.
- [first lines]
- Alex the Lion: Surprise!
- Marty the Zebra: Aaahhh! Alex! Do not interrupt me when I'm daydreaming. When a zebra's in the zone, leave him alone.
- Marty the Zebra: You the cat.
- Alex the Lion: Who's the cat?
- Marty the Zebra: You the cat.
- Alex the Lion: Who's the cat?
- Marty the Zebra: You the cat.
- Alex the Lion: Who's the cat?
- Marty the Zebra: You the cat.
- Alex the Lion: Who's the cat?
- Marty the Zebra: You the cat.
- Alex the Lion: Who's the cat?
- Gloria the Hippo: What kind of zoo is this?
- Melman the Giraffe: I just saw twenty-six blatant health code violations.
- Marty the Zebra: I'm loving San Diego. This place is off the chizain.
- Melman the Giraffe: Twenty-seven.
- Gloria the Hippo: Come on, we are New Yorkers, right?
- Marty the Zebra: Yeah.
- Gloria the Hippo: We're tough! We're gritty!
- Marty the Zebra: Yeah!
- Gloria the Hippo: We're adaptable!
- Melman the Giraffe: Yeah!
- Gloria the Hippo: And we are not gonna lay down like a bunch of Melmans!
- Melman the Giraffe: No, we're not!
- Julian: Wait! I have a plan.
- Maurice: Really?
- Julian: I have devised a cunning test to see whether these are savage killers.
- [Julian kicks Mort out in the open]
- Marty the Zebra: Hi there!
- Alex the Lion: No, I will handle this. Alex handles it. Marty says nothing.
- [approaches the frightened Mort]
- Alex the Lion: Hi there!
- [Mort starts to cry]
- Alex the Lion: Oh, geez!
- Melman the Giraffe: Oh, Alex. What did you do?
- Alex the Lion: No, it's okay, it's okay. I'm just a silly, just a silly lion.
- [Mort cries louder]
- Alex the Lion: Oh, jeez!
