Movie transcript with snapshot pictures

ALEX: Surprise! MARTY: Alex. Do not interrupt me when I'm daydreaming. When a zebra's in the zone, leave him alone. ALEX: Come on, Marty. Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. MARTY: Hey, man, thanks. ALEX: Hey, I got something stuck in my teeth. It's driving me crazy. Can you help me? Please? MARTY: You came to the right place, my friend. Dr Marty, D.D.S., is in the house. Please hop on top of my sterilised examination table, if you may. I don't see anything. ALEX: It's on the left. MARTY: Oh, sorry. Okay, just don't talk with your mouth full. Right here. What the heck is this doing in there? ALEX: Happy birthday! MARTY: Hey, thanks, man. You put it in behind the tooth. You all right. ALEX: These aren't even on the shelf yet. Here. Check it out. Look at that. Look at that. MARTY: Look at that. It's snowing. ALEX: Ten years old, huh? A decade. Double digits. The big 1 - 0. You don't like it? MARTY: No, no, it's great. ALEX: You hate it. I should've gotten you the Alex alarm clock. That's the big seller. MARTY: No, no, no. The present's great, really. It's just that another year's come and gone and I'm still doing the same old thing. Stand over here. Trot over there. Eat some grass. Walk back over here. ALEX: I see your problem. MARTY: Maybe

I should go to law school. ALEX: You just need to break out of that boring routine. MARTY: How? ALEX: Throw out the old act. Who knows what you'll do. Make it up as you go along. Ad lib. Improvise. On the fly. Boom, boom, boom. MARTY: Really? ALEX: You know, make it fresh. MARTY: Fresh, huh? Okay. I could do fresh. ALEX: Works for me. Here come the people, Marty. I love the people. It's fun people fun time! Let's go, Gloria! Up and at 'em. We're open! GLORIA: What day is it? ALEX: It's Friday. Field trip day. GLORIA: Yes, it's field trip day. Let's get up and go in ten more minutes. ALEX: Come on! Melman! Wake up! Rise and shine! It's another fabulous morning in the Big Apple. Let's go. MELMAN: Not for me. I'm calling in sick. ALEX: What? MELMAN: I found another brown spot on my shoulder. Right here. See? Right there. You see? ALEX: Melman, you know it's all in your head. PEOPLE: Let's go! Come on! MASON: Phil! Wake up, you filthy monkey. MARTY: Oh, I'm going to be fresh. Straight out the ground. Tasty fresh! Freshalicious. Ziploc fresh. ZOO ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, the CentraI Park Zoo proudly presents. ALEX: Show them the cat. Who's the cat? ZOO ANNOUNCER: The king of New York City. ALEX: Alex the lion. ZOO ANNOUNCER: Alex the lion. MARTY: It's showtime. ALEX: Roar! MARTY: Gather around, people. Big show about to start. Check out the zebra taking care of biz. That's right. SKIPPER: Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave. Kowalski, progress report. KOWALSKI: We're 500 feet from the main sewer line. SKIPPER: And the bad news? KOWALSKI: We've broken our last shovel. SKIPPER: Right. Rico, you're on litter patrol. We need shovels. And find more Popsicle sticks. We don't want to risk another cave-in. PRIVATE: And me, Skipper? SKIPPER: I want you to look cute and cuddly, Private. Today we're going to blow this dump. BOY: Come here. Come here. Come on, penguin. MARTY: Yeah! You don't see that on Animal Planet. Ha-ha. Well, show's over, folks. Thanks for coming. I hope you thought it was fresh. I'll be here all week. In fact, I'll be here for my whole life. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Halloween, Kwanzaa. Please don't forget to never spay or neuter your pets. And tip your cabbie, because he's broke. SKIPPER: You, quadruped. Sprechen sie Englisch? MARTY: I sprechen. SKIPPER: What continent is this? MARTY: Manhattan. SKIPPER: Hoover Dam! We're still in New York. Abort. Dive! Dive! Dive. MARTY: Hey. You in the tux. Wait a minute. What are you guys doing? PRIVATE: We're digging to Antarctica. MARTY: Ant-who-tica? SKIPPER: Can you keep a secret, my monochromatic friend? Do you ever see any penguins running free around New York City? Of course not. We don't belong here. It's just not natural. This is all some kind of whacked-out conspiracy. We're going to the wide-open spaces of Antarctica. To the wild. MARTY: The wild? You could actually go there? That sounds great. Hey, hold up. Where is this place? Tell me where it is. SKIPPER: You didn't see anything. Right? MARTY: Yes, sir. I'm sorry. No, sir. ZOO ANNOUNCER: For his final appearance of the day, the king of New York City. Alex the lion. ALEX: Roar! Thank you. Thank you very much. You guys are great. You're a great crowd. Give yourselves a hand. Thank you. Thank you. Well. Thank you. Oh, that's too kind. Too kind. MELMAN: Underpants! PEOPLE: Everybody get home safe. Hey! Check out my Web site. ALEX: Twenty-four hour Alex Cam. Watch me sleep. GLORIA: This is the life. MELMAN: That's the spot. I'm in heaven. GLORIA: It's Marty's birthday. ALEX: Just rip it open. MARTY: What is it? GLORIA: Come on. Open it up. What you got? MARTY: A thermometer. Thanks. I love it, Melman. I love it. MELMAN: I wanted to give you something personal. That was my first rectal thermometer. MARTY: Mother. MELMAN: I'll miss that bad boy. ALEX, MELMAN AND GLORIA: Get the cake. Melman, come on. Happy birthday to you! You live in a zoo. You look like a monkey. And you smell like one too. MASON: I say. MARTY: Well, now, you guys are just embarrassing me. And yourselves. ALEX: What? We worked on that all week. GLORIA: Let's go. Let's make a wish, babycakes. ALEX: What'd you wish for? MARTY: Nope. Can't tell you that. ALEX: Come on. Tell. MARTY: No siree. I'm telling you, it's bad luck. You want some bad luck, I'll blab it out. But if you want to be safe, I'll keep my mouth shut. GLORIA: Would you just tell us? What could happen? MARTY: Okay. I wished I could go to the wild! ALEX: The wild? MARTY: I told you it was bad luck. ALEX: The wild? Are you nuts? That is the worst idea I've ever heard. MELMAN: It's unsanitary. MARTY: The penguins are going. So why can't I? ALEX: The penguins are psychotic.
