Littlefoot Goes to Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa/Transcript

Opening/Reuniting with Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria

[The DreamWorks Animation SKG logo begins as the Penguins Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private attack the boy on the moon and they use a fishing pole to catch some fish.]

Skipper: Well done, boys. Looks like ice-cold sushi for breakfast. (All give a high-5!)

[A long time ago in Africa during the 80's or 90's, a male adult lion named Zuba was playing with his infant son Alakay (known as Alex), who is going to dance as Zuba tries to teach Alakay how to fight with a maraca that looks like a lion.]

Zuba: No, no, son. Over here. See the lion? Look at the lion and get the lion! (Sighs and grunts) Now, son, if you're gonna grow up and be like your daddy someday, you gotta learn how to fight.

Baby Alex: Da-da.

Zuba: [chuckles] Now, Alakay, let me show you something. OK? You see this mark? You and me are the same. When you're bigger, you'll wanna be an Alpha Lion, just like your daddy. Now let me see you fight. (Baby Alex growls) Ready? (But Baby Alex dances again) No, Alakay. No dancing! You just amuse yourself, don't you? You're a strange kid. You're a strange one. I'm... [Laughing as Baby Alex uses his hand move up and down of his faces] Now, come on, let's try it again. No, Alakay. Stop that-- Stop that right now. Doggone it!

[From the bushes, a male lion with a stylish mane comes up. His name is Makunga, who is Zuba's brother.]

Makunga: It's so disappointing when they don't grow up the way you want to.

Zuba: Makunga. You're not challenging me again, are you?

Makunga: Look on the bright side, Zuba. After I defeat you and take over as the alpha lion, you'll have so much more time to spend with your pathetic excuse of a son.

Zuba: Before I kick your butt, let me ask you: Why do you even want to become the alpha lion?

Makunga: I'm better looking, I have better hair, I'm deceivingly smart... and I want everyone else to do what I say.

Zuba: (Groans)

Makunga: We'll fight on three. One...

Zuba: Pay attention, Alakay. Daddy gonna show you how it's done.

Makunga: Two, three!

[Zuba starts fighting Makunga while Baby Alex continued playing with the butterfly. He saw a small, long rope and Alakay followed it.]

Zuba: Who's the alpha lion?

Makunga: You are.

Zuba: Don't you forget it. And that, Alakay, is how you attack... (He sees that Baby Alex is gone) Alakay?

[On the signs of "No Hunting", Baby Alex finally gets the rope as he sees some hunters]

Hunter #1: That's it. Here, kitty, kitty.

Hunter #2: (Using his gun cock, but decides to cease fire) Ah! This one's a beauty. He'll be worth a few bucks.

Hunter #1: It just gets easier and easier. [Chuckles evilly]

[The hunters put Baby Alex into a crate]

Baby Alex: (Whimpering) Daddy!!

Zuba: Alakay! Alakay!! ALAKAY!!!!!!

[Zuba sees a crate and notices that Baby Alex is inside it]

Baby Alex: Da-da!

Zuba: No! No! No!! Alakay!!

Baby Alex: Daddy!

Zuba: Alakay! Daddy's got you! Hold on!

[When Zuba unleashes the ropes to free his son, the hunter shots him by his ear bleeding]

Baby Alex: Da-da! (Whimpers) Ow! Ow!

[And when the truck turns around the corner, the crate fell off the truck, and Baby Alex inside the crate fell just like he did in the first film as an adult, landing on The Island of Madagascar. But this time, the crate fell into the river]

Zuba: ALAKAY!!!!!!

Baby Alex: Daddy!

Makunga tricking Alex

Ash Ketchum: Alex, I don't think it's such a great idea.

Makunga: (Annoyed) I don't think it's any of your concern, kid.

The watering hole dries up

• Alex: Surprised to see me, Makunga? Well, I'm here to set things straight, like a real lion. (punches a bird's nest) Is this real enough for you? How about this? This is for setting me up! This is for stealing my dad's job! And this is for humiliating my friends and family and MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL!

Littlefoot: You know, Makunga, a real alpha lion shouldn't be gloat and laugh at anyone whom you think is inferior. A real alpha lion is supposed to be a king or a leader. A leader who watches out for his own kind like pride of lions, a herd of zebras, herd of giraffes, or.... Well, you guys get the idea. But the point is that a great leader needs to be considerate and put the herd first before anything else. However, you, Makunga, are nothing like Zuba. All you care about is admiring yourself and doing things what you want to do like bullying people who are defenseless and picking fights that are pointless. That is something Zuba would never do.

Giraffe: You know? I agree with that little dinosaur creature. Zuba would know what to do. Where's Zuba?

Elephant: You don't care about us!

Hippo: Zuba should be in charge, not you!

Standing up to Makunga

• Makunga: Out of my way! Well, well, well, well, well.
• Ash Ketchum: Makunga. I'm not surprised to run into you once more.
• Makunga: Hmph, whatever, kid. You know, Zuba, if I remember correctly, you quit the pride. And you were kicked out. So, don't think for an instant that this changes anything.
• Alex: You're right. In fact, we humbly present you with this token of appreciation. It's a manbag. Very popular where I come from.
• Makunga: I don't know what to say.
• Alex: You can still be tough and carry your stuff.
• Ash Ketchum: (quietly) Alex, what are you doing?!
• Alex: (quietly) Shh! Trust me!
• Makunga: Oh, my. Does this strap adjust? Yes, I think this'll go very nicely for me when I go out hiking. But I'm afraid you're still banished.
• Alex: We figured you'd say that.

(Zuba releases the crazy old woman from the bucket. She puts her glasses back on and sees Makunga holding her purse.)

• Crazy Old Woman: My handbag! You bad kitty! (kicks Makunga, causing him to drop the purse and the scepter, steps on Makunga's foot, slaps Makunga's paw with her ruler, and yanks Makunga down by the whiskers and gives him a wet-willy)
• Makunga: (in agony as the crazy old woman armburns him) No, no, no, no, no, no, no! (gets spanked really hard by her)
• Alex: Ow!

(Ash, Littlefoot and the gang laugh at Makunga's humiliation and the reserve animals cheer happily as evil lion is dragged away by the ear by the crazy old woman. Zuba picks up his scepter.)

• Ash Ketchum: Sayonara, Makunga!
• Littlefoot: Well, at least Alex doesn't have to put up with that crazy old woman anymore.
• Cera: You're telling me. She's crazy.
• Shaggy Rogers: Yeah, like who put a bee in her undies?
• Brock: Don't worry, guys. I just called Officer Jenny who is the ranger taking care of the reserve. She'll be here to take care of Makunga and the crazy old woman as soon as possible.
• Cera: Even the tourists?
• Brock: Yes, even the tourists, Cera.

(Later on...)

• Crazy Old Woman: Hey, what are you doing? (Officer Jenny's men grabbed her and immediately strapped her in a straitjacket before she can bodily harm them) Take your hands off of me! I'll get you for this, bad kitty!
• Littlefoot: He's called a lion, you nut!

(The two men throw her in the van and drive her off as a deranged lunatic to the Arkham Asylum.)

• Officer Jenny: Don't worry, everyone. Arkham Asylum in Gotham City will have that deranged lunatic cured in no time. Once she's released, she won't remember a thing about what she's done. She'll be a normal, harmless old senior citizen like everyone else. And as for the lion you call, Makunga, he'll be hauled off to Southern Africa where he won't harm anyone. And for the lost tourists from New York, I'll have my Drowzee use Hypnosis on them to erase any memory of their traumatic abduction. Then, they'll be sent home to New York before they know it.
