(Gloria) Places!
(laughing)
(Alex) Oh!
(Alex) Marty!
I came up with a new paw-ball rule,
when one team gets a point,
the other team has to spin around until they get dizzy!
Huh? Marty?
(Pickles) Marty's not here.
He said somethin' about a Park Ranger Horse meeting.
(Alex) Oh. Well, no problem!
I'll play with Gloria.
(Pickles) She's salsa dancing with Pilar and Pedro.
(Alex) In that case, Mel...
(Alex screams)
(Pickles) The tall one's gone too.
(Alex) So I'm the only one without plans?
You know what, that's fine. I don't need a team...
for this team sport.
Nice serve, Alex!
Melman! Use your neck!
Trot, trot, trot.
Cover me, Marty!
That was out, Gloria!
Hmm.
Check your eyes, Alex! It was good!
(Pickles) He does need a hobby.
(Alex) Ups, that was Gloria's serve!
(bells toll)
Mornin', best mammals!
Another new day, another chance for adventure!
What do you wanna do today?
(Gloria) What's the rush?
(Alex) Excited to spend time with my friends.
We could go to Coney Island? Or watch the baseball game or...
Ooh! Try an Escape Room?
(Marty) Got any short and sweet ideas?
My morning's free, but I'm meeting Ranger Hoof after lunch.
(Gloria) I have plans later, too!
I'm practicing my big, two-bird dance lift with Pedro and Pilar.
(Marty) Trot, trot, trot. Trot, trot, trot.
(Melman) I'm listening in on my first paramedic test!
How's my listening face?
(groaning)
(Alex) You're all leaving again? But you all did that yesterday!
(Marty) When you love something, you don't do it once.
(Gloria) That's right! When I do what I love,
I just can't stop.
(Alex) But what about our adventures?
Don't you love those, too?
(Marty) Trot, trot, trot.
(Alex sighs)
(Kate hums)
(Kate) Morning, friends!
(Alex) Finally someone I can rely on to always be there...
(Kate) Your bubble baths will have to wait.
I'm teaching a seminar at the Science Center.
But wanted to say goodbye before I left!
(Kate chuckles)
(Alex) Even Kate's leaving me behind?
(Kate) The Nature Channel should help keep you occupied while I'm gone.
My cat Lemon loves this show.
Something about those penguins.
Adorable, yet mischievous.
(Dave squeaks)
(Pickles) No way, I don't wanna watch another banana bread bakeoff!
It's my turn.
(Pickles groans)
You let go first!
You're gonna break it!
(Mary Sue) Good Morning, New York!
(Melman) I wanna see the penguins!
(Mary Sue) Are you lookin' for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to share with friends?
(Alex) How'd she know?
(Todd) How about two once-in-a-life-time adventures?
You could watch the Green Giraffes
in the playoffs for the first time in 80 years.
(Mary Sue) Or go to New York's Space Center
and celebrate today's big launch!
(Todd) There'll be zero-G rides, astronaut ice cream,
and a front row seat to watch veteran space chimp Thelma
ride her rocket into space!
(Marty) An animal in space?
(Melman) I'd love to get her pawtograph.
(Alex) Hmmm. You know what, Melman? You're right!
You should get her pawtograph!
(Melman) Wait, how?
(Alex) We'll go see her at the Space Center, before launch!
(Gloria) A space launch does sound amazing.
I'm not meeting the parrots 'til this afternoon.
(Marty) I have time before my meeting.
(Alex) And you never know, once we're there
you might forget about all the other things you have planned.
And we can spend the whole day together,
like we used to.
(Melman) Oh! My book's gonna be touched by the same hands that touched the moon!
-Thanks, Alex! -(Alex) Oh, prr.
That's what friends are for. Let's blast off!
-(Marty) Yes! -(Gloria) Uh-huh!
(man) Green Giraffes...
Cloaca!
(Melman) Hey, isn't that Kate's tablet?
(Pickles) He means I'm borrowing it.
Oh...
(Dave squeaks)
Today's toll payment is easy.
We'll take your Green Giraffes hats!
(Alex) Sounds great, we can grab new disguises in the city!
(Gloria) I've never heard you talk about baseball.
(Pickles) What can I say, the Giraffes are having a great season!
(Alex) Yeah!
(laughing)
(Marty) Wahoo!
-(Melman) Yeah! -(Gloria) Wee!
(Alex) Now that's more like it. The Zoo Crew is back together!
Yahoo!
*
* Aomoa, aomoa *
(Pickles) Yeah!
* Let's go find A little adventure *
* Let's make it A day to remember *
* Let's find something new We can explore *
* Ooh, explore *
* Let's go find A little adventure *
* Let's make it A day to remember *
* Let's charge Through every open door *
* Adventure's calling! **
(Gloria) Out of this world!
(Melman) This is fantastic!
*
(Alex) Thelma's meet-n-greet doesn't start for a while.
So we can hit the zero gravity ride,
and catch a planetarium show in the meantime!
(Marty) I'm impressed.
Usually I'm the one to keep us all on schedule.
(Alex) I'm just excited to spend the whole day
with my best friends!
-(Gloria) The whole morning. -(Alex) Right.
After we get Melman Thelma's pawtograph, of course.
Unless, you know, we see a bunch of other
once-in-a-lifetime activities that keep us here awhile.
(Marty) As long as we're quick.
Ranger Hoof does not like when I'm tardy to a planting party.
You must have other things to do today too, right?
(Alex) Pfft. Of course I have other stuff to do, like, uh...
space!
It's kinda my thing.
Stick around and you'll get to see me in my element today.
(Gloria) Space? But I thought your thing was acting?
You love the stage!
(Alex) Sure, but what's a bigger stage than space?
Just you wait, I'm gonna become the first lion in space.
(Marty) That's my main mammal!
I always knew you were meant for big things.
(Alex) Yep. No more getting left behind for this cat.
(Gloria) What was that?
(Alex) I said this cat's shooting for the stars!
And an astronaut's only as good as his crew.
So what do you say, crew? Space training starts now!
*
* No distance I won't drive for *
* To be right next to you *
* To galaxies and wormholes *
* Out to Saturn seventh moon *
* Yeah, we are friends For life *
* To the end of space and time *
* Our friendship Is the brightest star *
* Up in the sky *
* Yeah, we shine *
* Shine *
* Let's celebrate The ways we're great *
* Together as a crew *
* Take to the sky *
* We're flying high *
* As special as we do *
* We'll always be family *
* For all of eternity *
* When I'm with you and you *
* I am over the moon **
(all laugh)
-(Alex) Wow! -(Melman) Oh!
(Gloria) Whoa.
(Marty) This must be the line to meet Thelma!
(Melman) Can't... quite... see... ugh...
(Melman gasps)
(Little girl) Thank you!
-(Docent) Next. -(Melman) There's Thelma!
I can finally get her pawtograph!
(Alex) This line is moving quicker than I thought.
I mean, I've got so much to ask her about space travel!
I gotta get up there.
-(Fan dad) Let's go, T.J. -(Docent) Next!
(All giggle)
(Thelma) Aren't you adorable.
And furry.
(Alex) Uh, hi, Thelma!
We came all the way from our habitat in Central Park
to spend the day togeth... I mean, to get your autograph.
(Marty) Miss Thelma? Our friend Melman would love for you to sign his pawtograph book.
(Thelma) Of course, big fella! Come here.
(Melman) Woah. Moon hands...
(Thelma) Hey, you're a Giraffes fan!
I've been a fan of them my whole life,
and this is their first World Series since 1943!
But while they're sliding into first,
I'll be sliding outta the atmosphere.
Guess I'll have to catch them next century.
(Marty) You'd rather watch a baseball game than go to space?
(Thelma) Not usually but this isn't your usual game.
Still, if I gotta miss a series,
at least I'll be missing it from outer space.
The stories I could tell ya!
(Melman) I wish I could hear 'em,
but now that I got my pawtograph, thank you again!
I should get to studying.
(Gloria) Pedro and Pilar are expecting me.
But I'd love to hear Thelma's adventures, some other time!
(Alex) Marty? Come on, can't you stay a little longer?
(Marty) Sorry, bud. Today was fun, but I gotta do my own thing.
Have fun doing yours.
Space really does look good on you.
(Melman) See you back at home, Alex!
(Alex) Bye...
(Docent) Last one.
(Adult fan) Thanks!
(Thelma sighs)
(Alex gasps)
(Alex) Thelma, I wanna go to space
and you wanna watch the World Series.
Why not solve both problems at once?
(Thelma) Whatcha got in mind, kitten?
(Alex) Wait! You can't go...
-(Marty) What's up? -(Melman) Why not?
(Alex) Because I'm going to space!
(Marty) You're what?
(Melman) I get it, Alex. Sometimes I need space, too.
(Gloria) Melman, I think he means
launch-into-the-solar-system kinda space?
(Marty) Nah. He's just messing with us. Right, Alex?
(Alex) Not at all. You're all off doing your own things and so am I.
Today. On the moon.
(Thelma) Okay, enough chit chat.
You've got a suit to put on, a shuttle to catch, and a moon to land on.
The bus will pick you up over there and take you to the launchpad.
(Marty) This is really happening?
(Thelma) No, silly! In 39 minutes.
Oh, and word to the wise?
Use the little kitty's room before you go,
it's a long flight.
(Alex) That's it? Aren't you gonna teach me everything I need to know?
(Thelma) You'll be fine!
I gotta get word to my niece and nephew
that I can watch the Green Giraffes game with them after all!
But I'll be back to see you off with everything you need.
Astronaut ice cream.
(Gloria) If you're really leaving today,
I guess we should skip our plans...
(Alex) I'll go suit up. Then we can ride the bus together to the shuttle...
(Marty) Are you sure this is a good idea?
Going to space all by yourself?
(Alex) You all have your things, can't I have mine?
(Gloria) Sure you can! I guess we just figured it would be on this planet.
(Alex) I knew I could count on you! Now I gotta go suit up.
Meet you at the shuttle stop.
We'll have a going away shin-dig!
(Loudspeaker) Transport to launchpad departing in five minutes.
(Alex) Wait 'til my friends get a load of me in this!
(Ant'ney screams)
(Ant'ney) Alex, is that you?
(Alex) Ant'ney, what are you doing here?
(Ant'ney) Had to come see my old pal Thelma off
for her launch today.
(Thelma) Hiya, space kitten. Got your astronaut ice cream!
(Alex) Thanks!
(Ant'ney) What are you doing in Thelma's suit? This some kinda photo op?
(Alex) No. I'm taking Thelma's place, in space.
(Thelma) Ain't it grand?
I get to see the Giraffes play their first championship game in 80 years,
and Alex gets to leave the atmosphere!
(Ant'ney) That sounds fun! What's the gang think about this?
(Alex) You can ask them, they'll be here any minute.
(Ant'ney) Really? 'Cause I just saw 'em leavin' the Space Center.
(Alex) They were leaving?
(Ant'ney) Said they had important things to do.
(Alex) More important than me?
(Shuttle driver) All board!
(Alex) Guess that's it, then. Goodbye, Ant'ney.
Think of me when you look at the stars.
(Alex sighs)
(All) Wait!
(Alex) Huh?
You came back!
(Marty) Sorry we're late. We had to get this for you!
-(Alex) Huh? -(Melman) Since you're going so far away,
we put together a box of a few things you might need.
(Gloria) You didn't think we'd let you leave without saying goodbye?
(Alex) Uh, no... of course not.
-(Marty) We're so proud of you. -(Melman) Yeah!
You're gonna be the most famous lion in the universe!
(Alex) Yeah. Thanks. So, this is really it, huh?
I guess I'll see you in...
Thelma? How long do these trips usually last...
a couple of days?
(Thelma) I can't remember exactly how many years...
(All) Years?
(Thelma) The internet didn't exist when my last launch happened.
(Melman) Gee, that sounds like a long time, Alex.
(Marty) Are you sure you wanna do this?
(Horn honks)
(Thelma) Time to go!
(Gloria) We'll miss you, Alex.
(Marty) See you when you get back, buddy.
(Alex giggles)
*
(All sigh)
(Thelma) Huh?
(Pickles) Hi, Auntie Thelma, we've missed you.
(Thelma) There you are!
Did you bring that doohickey we can watch the game on?
(Dave squeaks)
(Pickles) I should be the one to turn it on,
Dave's still learning how to use it.
(Dave squeaks)
(Pickles) No! I taught you!
(Thelma) Quit fighting! I already missed the first two innings!
And I would've missed it all if it weren't for that little lion.
Now give me that tablet.
(Loudspeaker) Initiating preflight alignment.
(alarm goes off)
(Alex screams)
(Alex) Guess it'll be a paw-ball for one.
Great hit, Alex!
Nice return, Gloria.
(Marty) Mission Control.
(Gloria) Hmm.
There he is!
(Ant'ney) Aw, I miss him already.
(Alex gasps)
(Alex) Oops! Better get it before liftoff.
(Alex gasps)
Melman's firetruck? Gloria's tutu?
Marty's ranger hat? An old bagel from Ant'ney?
Why would they give me their most favorite stuff?
* I've got so many feelings In my heart *
* But they say That this is where I belong *
* I guess growing up Means letting this go *
* Guess I'm moving on Trying to find my way *
* We said friends for life *
* That's why it's hard to say *
* Goodbye *
* Yeah *
* Goodbye, yeah *
* I guess growing up Means letting this go *
* I'm trying to find my way **
(Alex gasps)
(Alex) What have I done? I didn't want to be left behind.
But now I'm leaving everything behind.
(Loudspeaker) This is control.
Prepare to close and lock main hatch.
Launch in t-minus two minutes.
(Alex) I gotta get out of here!
No!
(Melman sobs)
(Melman) Our little lion is all grown up.
-(Marty) This is what he wants. -(Alex) Someone help!
Get me out!
(Marty) Or is it?
no pressure, Martinez!
(chimps grunt)
Quit messin' with my game!
I gave up a trip to space for this!
(chimps groan)
No! Get it back!
Do one of those, you know, reboots!
(Pickles) Auntie? I think it might be broken.
(Umpire) You're out!
(Pickles) Uh-oh is right.
(chimps scream)
(Alex) Wait, I've made a mistake!
I've never been to space before!
I've never even been to Staten Island! Ugh!
Stupid glove paws!
(All) Alex!
(Ant'ney) Hey, my bagel!
(Alex) What are you all doing here?
(Marty) We know you don't want to go to space!
(Gloria) So we came to bring you home.
(Melman) You can still borrow the firetruck.
(Loudspeaker) Confirm hatch lock.
(Alex) I hope you all used the little kitty's room.
(Loudspeaker) Shuttle is now on internal power.
(Thelma) Pickles! Dave! Where are you!
(Loudspeaker) Hydraulic check is complete.
(Alex) I'm really wishing Thelma taught me...
well, anything right now!
(Ant'ney) One of these buttons has gotta be for the door!
(Melman) We're going to space and I never got to tell Kate how much I love her!
(Gloria) And I never got to tell you that when we watched "Good luck truck"
I already knew the ending, cause I read it in a review!
(Melman) You know how to read?
(Alex) At least we're together, right?
What am I saying? We're about to lose everything and it's all my fault!
(all gasp)
(all screaming)
-(Gloria) Dave! Pickles! -(Marty) I've never been so happy to see you two!
(Pickles) Save the compliments.
If you want out, you better hurry!
(all cheer)
*
(all gasping)
(Melman) Woah...
(Ant'ney grunts)
(Alex sighs)
(Alex) I'm sorry, everyone.
I wanted to get the gang back together,
but almost launching myself into space for twenty years
probably wasn't the best way to make that happen.
(Marty) Doing our own things doesn't mean the gang's breaking up.
I guess it just means we're growing up.
(Gloria) Growing up. But not apart.
(Alex) I thought the new things meant you didn't care about the old things anymore,
including me.
But now I see that no matter how life changes,
we'll always find our way back to each other.
(all go aw)
(Thelma) Have you seen my niece and nephew?
(Ant'ney) That would be Dave and Pickles.
(All) Ooh...
(Melman) They ran all the way out to the shuttle to save us!
(Thelma) The shuttle? I waited decades to see that game.
(Pickles) Bye-bye!
(Thelma) And I'll wait as long as it takes for Pickles and Dave to get back...
(Loudspeaker) T minus ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four...
We have main engine start.
Two, one, and liftoff!
(All) Ooh...
(Baseball announcer) Game is tied, here comes the pitch.
It's a high fly to center.
If this is caught, it'll decide the game!
And the Green Giraffes win!
(Murray) Huh?
Millie, what are the odds of there being two chimps in that rocket ship?
(Millie) I dunno, Murray, they're probably better odds
than the Giraffes winning this game!
(Loudspeaker) Maneuver completed.
(Melman) Think they've got secret tunnels there?
(Marty) With Dave and Pickles gone, I guess we're
gonna need to find a new way out of the habitat!
(Alex) Huh! Yeah!
(audience cheers)
(giggles)
(Alex) Woah!
(all) Wow!
(Alex) Woohoo!
(laughing)
(all) Wow!
(audience cheers)
(Alex) Yeah!
Roar!
(audience cheers)
(Alex) Thank you! Thank you!
-(Marty) Way to go! -(Gloria) I'm so proud of you!
-(Melman) Woohoo! -(Marty) Woohoo!
Great show, buddy.
(Both) Woohoo!
(Marty) Love the new space theme.
(Gloria) It was so real I could almost taste the astronaut ice cream!
(Melman) Do you think you'll ever go to the moon?
(Alex) Nah, this is where my audience is.
And besides, in space no one can hear you roar!
But maybe one day I'll take my show on the road.
Who knows, I could end up halfway around the world!
(Melman) Halfway around the world?
(Gloria) Well, wherever you go we'll be right behind you.
(Marty) She's got that right!
Watch your back, my main mammal,
cause no matter where we go or what we do, we're gonna do it together.
(giggles)
(all laugh)
-(Gloria) I want in on that! -(Melman) Wait for me!
(all laugh)
(both) Huh?
(screaming)
(all groan)
(Claire) Hey, Kate, do you think they're cuddling?
(Kate) They're definitely cuddling!
(All) Aww...
(Carlos) Hmm... Pickles? Dave? I've still got my eye on you!
(Bill squawks)
(Carlos) Ah, I'm commin', Bill!
(Melman) Nothing in the world could make me happier than I am right now!
(Alex) Anyone up for dumplings?
(Melman) I stand corrected.
(Gloria) Yes, please!
(Marty) I'll call in the order!
(everybody talking)
(Ant'ney laughing)
