(Gloria) Places!
(panting)
(Melman) There's nothing like enjoying a thrilling movie
with the gang from the comfort of your own pillow pile!
(Marty) Don't get too comfortable, Melman.
Show time is two hours away!
(Melman) But then I'll be fast asleep
before the movie ends!
(Marty) Everyone wanted to wait until it's dark to watch,
like a real theater.
(Melman) Fine, but when everyone's cranky
and tired tomorrow morning, don't come crying to me.
(Gloria) Seen it. Seen it.
(sigh)
Seen it. Seen it. Seen it.
Hmm...
Seen it.
(Melman) Scroll no more, Gloria. I know the perfect movie:
Good Luck Truck!
(Gloria) Meh, we've seen it a million times.
(Melman) Yup! It ages like a fine nacho cheese!
(gasps)
(Gloria) Anybody up for an action movie?
“Enter the Hippo!”
(Marty) Sounds fun!
(Alex) Sure!
(Gloria shadow boxing)
(Melman) Well if I can't have my good luck,
at least I can have good take out!
(Alex) Who wants pizza?
(Gloria) Oh, yes!
(Marty)That'd be me!
(Melman) Pizza? Isn't it dumpling night?
(Bill) Uh, you and those three don't agree on anything, huh?
Oh! I'll take mine with extra cheese, please.
(Melman) Not you too, Bill!
(sobs)
(Alex) Don't worry, bud. I know just how you like yours:
no toMAHtoes!
(Melman) Don't you mean tomatoes?
(Alex) That's what I said! ToMAHtoes!
-(Melman) Tomatoes! -(Alex) ToMAHtoes!
(they keep trying to correct each other)
(Bill) Forget pizza. Tonight, we're serving drama!
-(Melman) Tomatoes! -(Alex) ToMAHtoes!

(snoring)
(Kate) Oh! Have a great day, Melman!
I'm heading out,
but I'll see you tonight for tuck-in.
(yawning)
(Carlos) Hiya, Kate!
You psyched for the big research convention today?
(Kate) Oh! Am I ever!
All the leading experts on animal rehabilitation
will be there, even our neighbors from The Bronx Zoo!
(gasps)
Their work with Bonobos is legendary.
(Carlos) Don't I Bo-know it!
(laughs)
(Kate) Well, I'd better get going.
Call if you need anything!
(Carlos) Why would I need anything?
Got this whole thing under control.
(squawk)
I heard you the first time, Bill!
(chuckles)
(Melman) Hey! Kate and Carlos are gone!
Who wants to come watch my favorite show
“Wild Wanda's World”!
(yawning)
(Gloria) I'm good...
(Melman) Today Wanda's journeying
to the African Savanna and--
(Marty) No thanks...
(Alex) Can you keep it down, Melman?
(screams)
(Alex) I need my beauty sleep.
(Melman) Guess it's just me then...
(sighs)
(Wild Wanda) Welcome back, Nature fanatics.
Today we're visiting the grassy plains
of the savanna,
home to some of the wildest animals on earth!
(Melman) Woah!
(Wild Wanda) Here we have the mighty hippo,
isn't she a beauty?
But watch out,
hippos are among the most dangerous animals
in the wild!
(Melman) Huh?
(yawning)
(Wild Wanda) But not nearly as dangerous
as the king of the jungle!
These animals are at the top of the savanna's food chain.
(snoring)
They're unpredictable,
they're untamable, they're...
(Melman) They're my friends!
(Wild Wanda) Just a few miles away
we find herds of gentle, graceful creatures
who thrive with their own kind.
Zebras with zebras, and giraffes with giraffes.
When these beauties stick together,
they've got nothing to fear!
(Bill) Melman! You will never believe!
Huh? Melman!
You will never believe
what Carlos brought me for breakfast!
(Melman) That's nice, Bill, but could you keep it down?
I'm watching my show.
(Bill) He brought me algae, per the usjsh.
(Wild Wanda) If these little giraffes are lucky,
they'll spend their entire lives together
without a predator in sight!
(Melman) Bill, can I ask you something?
(Bill) When's Carlos going to switch up my breakfast
once and for all, bring me french toast,
maybe a short stack of pancakes? Is it too much to ask?
(Melman) No, about the habitat.
There's gotta be other predators and prey that live together
like we do, right?
(Bill) Doubt it.
I mean, birds of a feather flock together.
(Melman) But... I don't have any feathers.
(Bill) Feathers or fur, you four are quite the odd bunch.
(Melman) I know my friends and I don't always agree,
but, not every herd is perfectly in sync, are they?
(Bill) Don't worry.
You will move outta here someday
and you will find your very own flock to fly with.
Or, whatever giraffes do.
(Melman) Move out? My own flock?
Or maybe... my own herd.
I've never thought of it that way.
(Gloria) Never thought of what, Melman?
(Melman) Of... how beautiful your eyes are, Gloria! Heh heh.
(Gloria) Aww, thanks, Melman!
(screaming)
(Melman) Incoming!
(Ant'ney) Howdy kids! Billiam.
(Melman) What's the word, Ant'ney?
(Ant'ney) I just came
from the new Butterfly migration exhibit
at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens
and it is a once in-a-lifetime must-see!
For insect eaters and casual enthusiasts alike.
(Marty) Butterflies up close and personal?
Sounds great for Ranger training!
(Gloria) All those butterflies in the air at once,
can you imagine?
(Melman) I'd rather not.
One butterfly is bad enough. who wants a whole flock of them?
(Gloria) Oh right. Sorry, Melman.
(Alex) We can find something else to do.
-(Marty) Of course! -(Gloria) Yeah, totally.
(Ant'ney) Won't be a once-in-a-lifetime experience,
but sure, it'll be fun!
(sighs)
(Melman) You should all go. Even butterflies need fans.
I'll just stay here.
(Gloria) You sure you'll be okay on your own?
(Melman) It'll be great!
I'll play with my trucks, organize my sanitizers,
and take a well-earned nap!
(Marty) A nap, already? It's not even lunchtime yet.
(Melman) Naps are like dumplings,
you can never have enough!
(Alex) If Melman's sure, then I say we get going!
(Gloria) Butterflies, here we come!
(Melman) Have fun!
Don't let the butterflies get too close to your ossicones!
Trust me on this one.
(Ant'ney) I've gotta run some errands for my Ma.
Holler if you need me, kid!
(Bill) Well, I better be off too!
That algae ain't gonna eat itself baby!
Taa taa!
(sighs)
(Melman) Vroom, vroom.
Just a giraffe and his trucks.
Huh?
A little more screen time can't hurt, right?
They move as if they're one. Totally in step.
(gasp)
Kate's pamphlet for the Bronx Zoo!
They've got giraffes?
Other giraffes, in New York?
I can be with my own kind,
in a real herd, just like Bill said!
I've gotta find ‘em!
(Dave chattering)
Pickleth! Dave!
(Pickles) Uh, maybe try that without a mouth full of paper.
(spits)
(Melman) I'm going to meet my new herd!
I'm kinda nervous, but who knows?
Maybe we'll become best friends forever!
(Dave chattering)
(Pickles) We've got bigger bananas to fry.
Our banana peels lost their slipperiness
and they were the perfect skates!
(Dave screams)
(Pickles) Now what are we gonna do for fun?
(groans)
(Melman) Oh! I've got an idea!
(Pickles) Hmm?
(Melman) You can play with my trucks!
(sigh)
That's not how you're supposed to play with them!
(Pickles) You want the tunnels or not?
(Melman) Yes, please.
To the Bronx!
* Let's go find a little adventure *
* Let's make it a day to remember *

(boy) Do, do, do, do... Aww, right!
(dad) Don't forget the change!
(boy) Okay, daddy!
Huh?
(screaming)
(chuckles)
(Melman) All right! I made it!
Well, almost.
Gloria, which train to the Bronx Zoo?
Oh, right. I'm on my own!
Well, that's okay, New York's really user friendly.
I'm coming for ya, herd!
(sighs)
What was I thinking? I'm totally disguise-less!
If only Marty was here, he never forgets our disguises.
(gasp)
(panting)
(sigh)
That was a close one!
I don't know how to get around the city by myself.
I can't even read!
(Ant'ney) You know, my Ma says those things will rot your beak.
(Melman) Ant'ney! I'm saved!
Hey!
-(rat) What? -(rat 2) Whoa!
(Ant'ney) Thanks, stretch! Your next donut is on me!
(Melman) I don't need a donut, Ant'ney.
I need directions!
(Ant'ney) From moi?!
You kids know this city almost as well as I do!
But I'm only counting one kid.
What are you doing out here by yourself?
(Melman) I'm sort of on a solo trip.
(Ant'ney) I'd ask you what that means,
but I'm late for Ma,
so I'll just take your word for it.
Where ya headed?
(Melman) The Bronx Zoo. Can you find it?
(Ant'ney) You're not far away, my long-legged friend!
Take the next train to the third stop,
then walk half a block. You can't miss it!
(Melman) Thanks for your help, Ant'ney!
(Ant'ney) No problem, kid.
Make sure to get home before tuck-in!
(Melman) I will!
Next stop, giraffe city, baby!
Whoa!
Wow, this place looks a lot like home!
(gasps)
They even have sea lions!
Whoa! Yeah!
You're just as good as Ronathan!
(Jimothy) Ronathan? What kind of a name is Ronathan?
My name's Jimothy.
(Melman) Oh, yeah, totally, my mistake.
Well, gotta go find my new friends.
They're giraffes. Like me. Bye!
(laughing)
(Gloria) Who knew butterflies could fly thousands of miles?
(Marty)Yeah! Migration sounds like a real workout!
(Alex) All I can think about is
how butterflies taste with their feet!
(wiggling his paws)
If I could use all four paws,
I'd be a dumpling-eating-machine.
(Gloria) Speaking of dumpling-eating machines,
Melman seemed pretty bummed when we left.
How bout we grab something from the library
to cheer him up.
(Marty) Sure, but let's make it quick.
Poor giraffe's probably been sitting around
waiting for us all day.
(screams)
(Melman) And once again, Mr. Alligator,
I am so, so, so sorry for waking you!
(Bronx gator) No problem.
(Melman) It won't happen again!
Yeesh! Am I ever going to find my--
huh?
(snoring)
(squeals)
(giraffe) Huh?
(Melman) My herd! You're real! And you're beautiful.
(yawns)
And you're napping, I'm so sorry.
(Markus) You're standing in dirt!
Are those hooves even clean?
(Melman) Squeaky clean! I promise!
(Melanie) In that case, howdy doo, buckaroo!
(Melman) Howdy. I'm so sorry for waking you.
(Melanie) Aw, no hard feelings,
that was already our third nap of the day.
(yawns)
(Mitul) But not our last!
(Melman) Your third nap? Wow!
(clears throat)
I'm Melman! What're your names?
(Melanie) Nice to meet you, Melman!
I'm Melanie, the rootin' tooti'' party animal of this herd!
What! What!
(Markus) I'm Markus! I keep this herd neat,
tidy and on their toes!
Er, hooves.
(Mitul) And I'm Mitul. I make sure our herd gets plenty of...
(snoring)
...sleep.
(Melanie) We weren't expecting company
and we've got a pretty full To-Do list.
(Melman) Oh, I don't want to get in the way.
(Markus) We've got to take our bubble baths, paint pictures,
play with trucks, it's a real grind!
(Melman) Wow.
(Mitul) Would you like to join us, Melman?
(Melman) I thought you'd never ask.
(Melanie) Well, all right then,
let's warm up for the day with a quick dance-
(Markus) Here, we'll show you the moves.
(Melman) Best day ever! Best day ever! Best day ever!
No need. We're totally in step.
It's like, we get each other.
* I get you, you get me *
* I'm right where I wanna be *
* Understood, feeling good *
* Yeah, we're perfectly in sync *
* We like the same things, dream the same dreams *
* You're saying what I'm thinking now *
* Finally feel like I'm where I belong *
* It's such a different feeling *
* Like everything makes sense *
* I don't need to explain it *
* ‘Cause you always understand *
* Not gonna second guess myself *
* Or be up in my head *
* When I have you and my friends *
* Come on! *
* I get you, you get me *
* Yeah, I'm feeling seen *
* Confident in my skin *
* Free to just be me *
* Really fitting in *
* Just can't help but win *
* When I get you completely *
* And you get me **
(sigh)
(Melman) It's like we're made for each other!
(cheers)
(Gloria) Melman! We're back!
(Marty) And we've got a surprise!
(Alex) And it has to do with a truck who's really lucky!
What? Melman prefers his surprises predictable!
(Marty) Melman!
(Alex) Melman?
(Gloria) Where is that giraffe?
(Alex) Melman never misses tuck-in.
And he's running out of time!
(Gloria) Something's not right. What if he needs our help?
(Marty) Let's search the zoo.
Alex, you take the kiosks.
Gloria, you hit the sea lion habitat.
I'll check Lucia's place.
Melman's gotta be here somewhere!
(Alex) Melman! Come on out, bud!
(Gloria) Ronathan! Have you seen Melman?
(Ronathan) Uh-uh.
(Gloria) Hmm...
(Lucia) Hola!
(screams)
(Lucia) Are you bird-watching? Or sloth-watching?
(Marty) Neither, I'm looking for Melman.
Have you seen him?
(Lucia) I've seen his heart, and that's what really matters!
(Marty) Nice, but not helpful.
(Lucia) Bye, Marty! I see your heart too!
(Marty) Thanks, but still not helpful!
Any news?
(Gloria) Nope. Nothing. Zippo. Zero. Goose egg.
(Ant'ney) You kids playing hide-n-seek?
‘Cause Melman is definitely winning!
(Marty) Ant'ney, have you seen Melman?
(Ant'ney) Yeah! Last I saw he was headed to the Bronx Zoo.
(Alex) Why would Melman be there?
(Dave chattering)
(Pickles) He said something about finding his herd?
(Gloria) His herd?
(Alex) You sure you “heard” him correctly?
(Marty) Doesn't matter why he left.
Point is, he'd never miss tuck-in.
He must need help.
We gotta find him and bring him home
before Kate gets back and realizes we're missing too!
(Melman) Sorry, flowers,
but you'll need to find a new home now!
(Melanie) Melman, what are you doing?
(Melman) These flowers attract butterflies
and since I'm sure we can all agree
that butterflies are terrifying monsters,
I decided to get rid of them!
Ta da!
(Markus) There, there, friends, it'll be all right.
(Mitul) We love those flowers!
(Melanie) They make our home look pretty!
How would you like it if we showed up to your home
and changed stuff?
(Melman) About that...
I sorta, maybe, changed a few other things too.
(all) What?
(Melman) Well, I rearranged all the trucks...
(gasps)
...but now they're in alphabeticalized order!
Marty loves when I do that!
Ambulance, emergency vehicle, firetruck.
(Markus) My babies! They must be so confused!
(Melman) And I changed your radio presets
to country-pop stations.
Gloria and I like it cued up for dance parties.
(Melanie) But it took me ages
to find that coffee shop lullaby station!
(Melman) Oh! Well,
you can't be upset
that I cleaned the dirt off your blankies, right?
They were filthy!
Reminded me of Alex's.
(Mitul) You touched my blankie?
(Melanie) That's not how we do things in our herd, Melman.
(Melman) I'm so sorry! I can fix it.
Uh...
I know what'll cheer you up.
Da da da da! The Goodnight Song!
(sniffs)
(Mitul) The what?
(Melman) You know,
the song your “Kate” sings right before bedtime.
That make all our troubles disappear!
(Melanie) A “Kate?” Never heard of it.
(Markus) Or a goodnight song.
We like to go straight to bed, no fuss no muss.
(Melman) No Kate?
I don't know how to go to sleep without The Goodnight Song
or without Kate's hugs.
Or Kate...
(Mitul) Maybe you should just close your eyes
and count llamas?
You can look around the Bronx for a Kate tomorrow.
(Melman) I think I need to go home.
But, I don't know how.
Do you know where the nearest tunnel is?
(Markus) Sorry, Melman, we've never left our habitat.
(yawn)
We hope you find your way home,
you're welcome back to visit any time.
(Mitul) As long as you don't redecorate.
(Melman) Deal, thank you.
(snoring)
Oh!
The travel tunnels have gotta be here somewhere!
This one? Or this one?
Oh, come on!
-(Millie) Hurry up, Murray! -(Murray) Coming, Millie!
(Melman) Responsible adults that I sorta know!
Maybe they'll lead me home!
(Murray) Huh?
Ah! Millie, I think someone's following us.
(Millie) Of course they are Murray!
I'm wearing my new perfume!
(Melman) A fire station.
I may be lost in the big city
but at least we've got each other, right, firetruck?
(firetruck siren)
So much for a herd.
I'm completely alone!
(Melman) See, this is perfect. Right at home!
Every fire station needs a spotted furry companion.
Who am I kidding? I don't belong here.
I don't belong anywhere...
except with Alex and Gloria, and Marty, and Kate.
If only I could find my way back to them!
* I get you, you get me *
* Yeah, you make me feel so seen *
* Understood, feeling good *
* Even if we don't agree *
* Or we play different games *
* Have different names *
* In lots of ways we're not the same *
* But, through it all our love remains *
* Not gonna second guess myself *
* Or be up in my head *
* ‘Cause I know you're my real friends *
* I get you, you get me *
* Don't need to explain *
* Different but inside we feel the same *
* Got the same old love *
* Friendship's made up of *
* Yeah I get you completely *
* And you get me **
(Alex, Marty and Gloria) Melman!
(Melman) Oh no! My loneliness is getting worse.
The ground is talking to me!
(sreams)
(gasps)
You're really here!
(Gloria) Melman! There you are!
(Melman) But...how did you know I'd be here?
(Marty) It's not like you to miss tuck-in!
(Alex) So we made a list of your favorite places
and put the fire station right at the top!
(Melman) You came all this way just for me?
(Gloria) Of course we did, Melman.
We're family.
And that's what family does for each other.
(Melman) We might not look alike,
or agree on the same movie to watch,
even though one is clearly much better than the others...
but, I'm starting to realize
there's no family that's quite like mine.
And that's what makes it the best.
(gasps)
Wait a minute,
Kate's gonna be so worried when she realizes we're all missing!
(humming)
(Kate) Huh? That's weird.
I wonder where Gloria is hiding.
Huh?
Alex and Marty are missing too?
Okay, now this is a situation.
I'll call all the zoo employees and the regular visitors,
we'll put out a search party, and...
There you all are!
I wouldn't forgive myself
if something happened to my little wild family!
You sure you're all comfortable on that little mat?
Well, then I am too!
* It's evening *
* Let's wind down *
* Today is almost done *
* It was a bit sweet *
* A little wild *
* Let's shine that ossicone *
* Go on and stretch those paws out *
* Let that yawn out *
* Oh I'm tired too *
* I love saying goodnight to you *
* Goodnight to you *
(Marty) Hey, Melman,
want me to bump up tonight's movie schedule
so we can finish before your bedtime?
(Melman) No need!
I prepped for it and had an extra long nap today!
(Gloria) Why don't we watch
The Good Luck Truck movie tonight?
You've gotta be missing it
after looking at the picture book again!
(Melman) That's okay, we should watch
your kung fu hippo sequel.
Then tomorrow we can practice our martial arts moves together!
(laughs)
(Gloria) Look at you, branching out!
(Alex) Okay, so I brought the pizza menu...
(screaming)
(Melman) You better not even think
of ordering anything but dumplings!
(Alex) Yeesh!
Whatever you say, Melman!
(Melman) I may be prey on the savanna,
but when it comes to dumplings, I've got a ferocious appetite!
(roaring and laughing)
(Bill) I love a good family comedy.
