www.able.co.nz Captions were made possible with funding from NZ On Air. Able 2017 SKIPPER: Okay, wind her up, boys! It's Monte Carlo or bust. Struts. RICO: Check. Flaps. Check. Diamonds and gold. KOWALSKI: Check. ON SPEAKER: We'll be back from our gambling spree in a couple weeks. ALL: Bye! Or whenever the gold runs out. Bye-bye! Bye. All right! We'll be waiting for ya! Just kidding. We're never coming back! Sorry, what was that? SKIPPER: Initiate warp drive. Did they just say they were never coming back? Guys? (FAINT SQUEAKING) Marty? Oh, goodie, you're here! Ahhh! Why don't you just chew on this? I'm hungry. (MUNCHING) Ahhh! Whoa! (GROANS) Ah, I'm just messin' with ya. I lost all feeling in this thing years ago. (LAUGHS) (SNORES) Melman, why do you look like that? Oh... Look who's talking. Ahhh! Gloria? Why are you guys so elderly? Now, when was the last time you looked in the mirror? What? GLORIA: Hmm? No! Wake up! Wake up! Ally-Al! Wake up! Marty! Oh! Marty, it was horrible. That same nightmare again, huh? We were stuck here in Africa. And we were all super-old and wrinkly, and... Well, I aged well, but the rest of you looked terrible! Relax, Alex, 'cause I got a surprise for you! Is it the penguins? Have they come to take us home? Nope. But it's the next best thing. Another day bites the dust. Come on now! (ALEX GRUNTS) MARTY: Watch it. Watch yourself. Small divot. Ooh! Sorry, little incline there. Oh! Back up this hill. Whoa! Ow! A low-hangin' branch, then just over this bluff and voila! (GRUNTING) Happy birthday, pal! Whoa. Wow! New York City. BOTH: Surprise! Gloria! You're the Statue of Liberty! Bring me your huddled masses, baby! And, Melman, you're the Brooklyn Bridge! Actually, I'm the Triborough Bridge. Wow! You guys made this? Yeah. From memory. From crazy obsessive memory. (CHUCKLING HAPPILY) Hey! Fifth Avenue with no traffic! Here's Times Square with its modern-day corporate lack of character. Nine Duane Reades on the same street! And the zoo. Wow! Our home. Look! There's a little me. And little all of us-es! ALL: (CHANTING) Alex! Alex! Alex! (ROARS) (ALL CHEERING) (BOTH EXCLAIMING HAPPILY) (ALL LAUGHING) (SOBBING) (BLOWING NOSE) Ugh... You guys. You've both made and ruined my day. Make a wish, sweetheart. (BLOWING) Whoa! Ta-da! Your wish has come true! Oh, yay! (STOMACH GRUMBLING) My tummy is speaking to me! (ALL EXCLAIM IN DISGUST) ALEX: Oh, gross. Uh, I wouldn't eat that side of the cake if I were you. Alex, what was your wish? I wished we could go home. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love this. But it's not the real thing. Well, that's because it's a mud model, Alex! It's not actually New York. I hope that was clear. What are we doing? Here we are, relying on the penguins to come back for us, but we should just go to Monte Carlo and get them. How do a lion, a zebra, a giraffe and a hippo walk into a casino in Monte Carlo? I don't know. Ask the rabbi! Hey, I'm serious. Come on. We can do it! We can do anything! It's us! We're us! Yeah, that's right. We've gone halfway around the world! Compared with that, Monte Carlo's just a hop, skip and a swim away! Yeah. Hee-hee! To home. MARTY: Home! MELMAN: Home. GLORIA: Home. JULIEN: Cheeseburger. Tell you what. Bet those penguins will be glad to see us. Yeah, they're probably bored out of their minds! (SCREECHING) (SCREECHING) (ALL GRUNTING) You pillow fight like a bunch of little girls! Yah! Chimichanga! These pillows are filled with baby birds! (MUFFLED) There it is. The casino! What? There it is. The casino! (MUFFLED) Perfect. That's where we'll find the penguins. What? (SOFTLY) I said, "Perfect. That's where we'll find the penguins." (MUMBLING) What? Boo-bop-a-dee-bop di-bee-a-ba-di bee-ja-ba-doo-dah! Shh! Come on, guys. Operation Penguin Extraction does not include levity. We can't draw attention to ourselves. (WHISPERS) We're invisible! I'm talking really, really quiet. Everybody dance now! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Everybody dance now! Yeah! ALEX: Okay. Phase one. We break into the casino, grab the penguins, and get them to take us back to New York in the Monkey-Powered Super Plane! MARTY: Check! Phase two. We chew out the penguins for abandoning us in Africa. Check! Phase three. We apologize to the penguins for overly harsh chewing outing, but we've gotten our point across. Phase four. Back to New York City. Check! Yes! I like it! (GRUNTS) All right, we take these ventilation ducts to the crawlspace above the casino where we find the penguins. I just need to figure out which duct each of us should take. JULIEN: (RAPPING) # Pause Back with the bass # The jam is live in effect and I don't waste time # Hold the mic if we don't rhyme # Jump to the rhythm # Jump, jump to the rhythm # Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump (GRUNTING) (MARTY GRUNTING) (EXCLAIMS IN SURPRISE) (MELMAN SCREAMING) (GLORIA SCREAMING) Uh-oh. (RUMBLING) Oh, no, wait. (ALL SCREAMING) (GLORIA SCREAMING) MELMAN: Take cover! Whew! Okay. Hi, honey. Whoa! Okay. Okay. I got ya. I got ya, honey. (GLORIA LAUGHING) MELMAN: No. Now, they're not gonna let animals onto the casino floor. So expect some kind of disguise. MARTY: Whoa! Look at that! That is one ugly, mug-ugly lady! That is roach-killin' ugly! That's not a lady, that's the King of Versailles. And that's not the King of Versailles, that's the chimps! And the chimps are like smoke. And where there's smoke, there's fire. And by fire, I mean the penguins! CROUPIER: The King of Versailles wins again. I say we let it ride. (SCREECHES) Then we'll pick up the hippies and fly back to New York in style. Can we buy an Airbus A-380? Solid gold, baby! Sir! A solid gold plane wouldn't be able to fly. Kowalski, we'll be rich! The rules of physics don't apply to us. Let it ride! Right-o! (GLORIA GRUNTING) Okay. In exactly two minutes and 17 seconds, the lemurs will cut the power. Now? No. Okay? No. Now? No. I drop down, grab the penguins. You crank me up, and we are out of here. Oh, oh, oh! Let, let me drop down! I'll grab the penguins! You don't have fingers, Marty. Now? No. Do it? No! These are things a leader has to think of. Why should you be the leader? Why, why not me? 'Cause I'm the phase tracker! CROUPIER: Ze King is letting it ride. MARTY: How did I get phased out? 'Cause you're part of a... A phase isn't something you own. It's something you're in. That's it. Who voted you Grand Phase Master anyway? Me! I voted me! 'Cause I'm the leader! CROUPIER: Black! That's it, baby! Now? No! Ze King of Versailles wins it all! Wow! Maybe I should be in charge. Melman! I am a doctor. Now! No! Why can't we all be leaders? Enough! I'm gonna lead. (GLASS SHATTERING) (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) (SCREAMING) (ALL CLAMOURING) Ah-ha! What's new, pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa! Marty, what phase are we at? Uh, uh, phase three! Apologize! Right. Oh, man, we are so sorry. Well, apology accepted. Let's roll! Marty! We skipped phase two! We didn't chew them out! Don't look at me. I'm just followin' the leader! (RINGING) Now! I'm a bit busy right now. Just pull the switch! (BLOWS RASPBERRY) Okay, fine. What the heck is going on with the lights? # Yo! Tell me what you want # What you really, really want # Oh, I'll tell you what I want What I really, really want # I wanna, I wanna... # GLORIA: What are you doing? Come on! (PEOPLE SCREAMING) Initiate lockdown! And get me Capitaine Dubois from Animal Control! (PHONE RINGING) DUBOIS: Non, rien, rien Non, je regrette rien DUBOIS: Speak. (GUARD TALKING INDISTINCTLY ON PHONE) Oui. A zebra? A hippo? A giraffe? A lion? When I was seven, I strangled my first parrot, flushed my first goldfish, punched my first snake. And now I have finally reached ze moment I have been preparing for my entire life. Ze pinnacle of my career. To hunt ze king of ze beasts! Ah! Oh, no. Lockdown, eh? What do we do? All right, everybody, stand back! I got this one. Never mind. Well, you only get one chance at a first impression. (WHISTLES) (ALL SCREAMING) What just happened? Where are we? What is this? We call it the Luxury Assault Recreational Vehicle. RECORDED VOICE: The car goes vroom-vroom! Step on it, boys! Capitaine Dubois! I am so happy to see you! You will not believe... Get back, you fool! Ow! Wait! Your cheap cologne is obscuring the animal musk! (GROANING) Oh, my face! (SNIFFING) Poor, poor animals. You should never have left ze forest. Now you deal with me. Kowalski!

ALEX: Negative on the driver! There's no driver! GLORIA: (SHRIEKING) Oh, nobody's driving! Oh, no, we're gonna die! Don't just sit there, fancy pants. Grab the wheel! Are you kidding? I don't drive, I'm a New Yorker! Move over, Miss Daisy! What are you doing? Zebras can't drive! Only penguins and people can drive. What do all these buttons do? (ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO) MELMAN: Help me! SKIPPER: Nice one, stripes! Crazy woman gaining! Our Omega-3 slick'll take 'em down. Private, activate! Whoop! Ohh! She's good! Kowalski, intel. KOWALSKI: Sir. We have a serious problem. Capitaine Chantal Dubois, Monaco Animal Control. Perfect case record. (BOTH SCREAMING) You're goin' the wrong way, Marty! Just call me Marty-o Andretti.

Your hoofs aren't meant to be on a wheel! Ooh, hey, hey, hey! Too late for you to drive! Don't look at me! Don't look at me when we argue! Look at the road! Be cool! Be cool! (MUSIC STOPS SUDDENLY) Hi, Officer. Is there a problem? Hi. MARTY: Whoa! MELMAN: Watch out! (SCREECHING) We need more power! Time to fire up Kowalski's nucular reactor. That's a nuclear reactor? Nucular. She's on the roof! But, sir, it's not ready. The control rods will have to be calibrated. And don't even ask me about the Uranium 238 blanket. Okay. (ALL SCREAMING) Okay, Marty, we lost her! Maybe you can slow down now. I can't! There's no brakes! No brakes? Well, way to commit, soldier. (ALL SCREAMING) (LAUGHING) (ALL CONTINUE SCREAMING) (SCREAMING) (CREAKING) Let's get outta here! GLORIA: Go, go, go, go! (ALL CLAMOURING) (CHUCKLING) Hey, where's everybody going? (EXCLAIMING FEARFULLY) I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm the first flying monkey! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Whoo, whoo, whoo! Oh, yay! That's our ticket out of here! Yeah, baby! (ENGINE HUMMING) Everybody! On the monkey chain! Deploy banana gun! ALEX: Grab the little guys! Toss 'em up! Let's go! Go, go, go!

Game on. . # New York, New York It's a heck of a town # The Bronx is up # But the Battery's down (SCATTING) ALL: # New York, New York Kowalski, status report. So the good news is this song is almost over. Well, that's music to my ears. And the bad news? The gear assembly is badly damaged, sir. It's only a matter of time before... (ALL SCREAMING) MELMAN: Why can't we ever just make a normal landing? Oh, man! Hold on, Melman, okay? I'll get you down, sweetie. (GROANING) Where is he? Must find King Julien. King Julien! # It's getting hot in here # So take off all your fur # I am getting so hot # I want to take my fur off Skipper, what about the plane? Well, the chimps'll work through the night. No breaks, no safety restrictions. Hey, where you going? Get back here, we have a contract! Yes, well, I'm afraid labour laws are slightly more lenient in France. You see, they only have to work two weeks a year. Well, someone else has the Canadian work ethic! But you penguins, you can still fix it, right? Right? Yeah, yeah. You're a little crackerjack, can-do team. You want me to give it to you straight? Yes! Yes! No. Bend it a little? Well, the plane's totalled. Kaput, blammo, busted! Never to fly again. So that's it? That's it then, we're never gonna get home? No! We gotta get home! We can fix it. We'll fix it! Yeah, guys, come on, we'll fix it! You just start from the outside pieces and you work your way in. And yeah, perfect! Come on! Don't just stand there, guys. Marty! Drag that thingy over here. And we'll just attach it to this little dealy-bob over here. Alex! And... We're not going home. (SIGHS) We're never going home. (POLICE SIREN BLARING) It's the fuzz! What are we gonna do? We can't hide forever! And we can't just blend! You know this ain't Africa. Oh, what's the point? Tell me one conceivable way that extra-large animals like us are gonna be able to move through Europe without attracting unwanted attention. Hey. (ALL SCREAM) Where are you coming from? Please, you gotta hide us. Just until the heat dies down. Absolut no outsiders. So wipe that Smirnoff your face and Popov! Oh, come on, man. You gotta do one cat a solid. Cat to cat. Do a solid here, buddy. Come on. Just till the heat dies... VITALY: Nyet! This train is for circus animals only. STEFANO: They sounded like they be in trouble. VITALY: Stefano, we do not invite trouble into our circus. I don't trust lion. Hair too big and glossy! Aw, come on, Vitaly. You being-a mean. He not lion. He lioness with a beehive. (LAUGHS) This is awkward. We can hear everything they're saying. (TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING) VITALY: It is not our problem. No, no, no, no! No, no, wait! Wait, wait! Eh! Just-a give us a minute-a. He's on the phone-a, and I can't get him off! Ow! We cannot leave them there! VITALY: Only circus animals on this train! Wait, listen! We are circus animals. You gotta let us in! You are really circus? (SIREN BLARING) FRENCH POLICEMAN: Je vois quelque chose! Yes. Absolutely. Full circus! To the core. My momma was circus. Totally circus! MARTY: My daddy was circus. VITALY: Gia! Shut the door! (POLICEMEN SPEAKING FRENCH) Please. POLICEMAN: Which way, Levant? LEVANT: Over there, over there! They are circus. Circus stick together. (GROANS) (CHUCKLES) (CLEARS THROAT) Wow, Circus Americano! You must all be-a very famous-a! Yeah, we, uh... Absolutely. We're, uh, relatively well-known... But, but Alex is really the star. Well, I'm not, I wouldn't say star. More, more like, more like, well, star. What is your act, Alice? Well, I, uh, I basically, I jump up on my rock. Rock? Yeah. It's a, uh, it's a very high rock. A really high rock! And then? And then I... Well, I roar, like real... But like a serious, like... (ROARS) And then? And then I jump off the rock. And then? And then... And then what? That is all? Into a pool! Full of water! Full of cobras! It... Actually it appears like I'm jumping into a pool... With cobras! Aquatic cobras, for effect. But I actually pull up at the last second. Pull up? Yeah. How do you do that? Wire harness! Balloons! Jet pack! Well... (STAMMERING) Yeah, I flip off the wire harness, ignite my jet pack, and then toss balloons to the children of the world. Kids love it. Kids always love that. (SCOFFS) Is this like-a the trapeze? Yes! Trapeze! Exactly! Wow! Trapeze Americano! Hey, I have a great idea! Maybe you come-a with us to Roma! (ALL GASP) Heh, Vitaly is-a just playing around. (CHUCKLES) He is-a good, no? Yeah, thanks. Thanks. But, you know, we're gonna get off at the next stop, so we can get back to America. STEFANO: (GASPS) That is such a coincidence! Because we're going... Going to... Let me finish! We're going to America as well! (GROWLS) What? America? No way! You're going to America? What? Wow! When? After Roma, we go to London. And then a big-time promoter will see us, and then send us to New York! Ooh! They're goin' to New York! Well, only if he likes what he sees. New York? Seriously? That's our home! That's where we live! Isn't that fun? Can we go with you? Sure! You can bunk with Vitaly! (ALL EXCLAIMING IN SURPRISE) Whoa! Or not. Nyet. Oh, no. I don't-a think-a Vitaly likes that idea! What's he gonna do? Which one of you is leader? Tell your comrades there is one rule we do not break! Thou shalt say it and not spray it? Nyet! Circus owner no allow stowaways! (CHUCKLES MENACINGLY) (WHIRRING) I hear ya, Russki. Although the circus owner may allow stowaways if the stowaways just happen to be the owners. Riddle me that. What is sharply dressed little birdie talking about? Show 'em, boys. (JEWELS CLINKING) (CHUCKLES) (GIGGLING) You have a deal, mi amigo. I am sure this circus will bring you great success! (CLOWNS LAUGHING) Shh! I guess this is goodbye and good luck! (ALL LAUGHING) What do we know about owning a circus? Nothing. But it's our only shot at getting home. Well, you better know what you're doing. You're risking Private's community college fund. (SIGHS) I'll never be President! (WE NO SPEAK AMERICANO PLAYING) (BOTH EXCLAIMING IN SURPRISE) (SNIFFS) Hey, this is not first class! Oh! Definitely coach. (EERIE CREAKING) (GASPS) (ALL EXCLAIMING IN FRIGHT) (ALL TREMBLING) # La la-la, la la... Mort! Stop it! (GIGGLES) (CRACKS) (ALL GASP) (GROWLING) (ALL GASP) (SCREAMS) (SQUEAKING) (GRUNTING) Hey, gorgeous. Has anyone ever told you that you look like a supermodel? Albeit a fat, hairy one who smells. Whoa-ho-ho! Whoo-hoo! Oh, you have a very hairy back. I like that in a woman. . Zat's it! I'm going in. Stop! Don't do it! Don't be a hero! Lion. 12 hours old. Two hundred and fifty kilograms. Glossy mane. Too much conditioner. (GUN FIRES) Ah, stupid bozos! (SNIFFING) Hello, kitty! (CHUCKLES) So you ran away with the circus. What a cliche. (OPERATIC MUSIC PLAYING) SKIPPER: What a dump! Yeah, if they want to attract a decent sports team, they should bulldoze this rat trap and invest in a new arena. (SCREECHING) The Colosseum, Marty! The original theatre-in-the-round! You know, my ancestors used to perform here. No kiddin'! Yeah. Every show had a captive audience. Mmm. Apparently they killed. Sounds like a great gig! Trenta minuti, everybody! Trenta minuti! MARTY: This is so exciting! Remember, we just lay low. Stay out of the way. Let 'em do their thing. Oh, would you look at this! You gotta go back in your momma's belly, 'cause you're too cute to be out here in the real world right now. Oi! Naff off, you muppet! Whoa, what the... Marty, they're professionals, come on. Whoo! You look gorgeous! (HORSES GIGGLING) All right, animals! We may be your new owners but we don't want to reinvent the circus wheel here, so just go out and do what you do! Just think of this as a fun warm-up for that promoter in London. Right, Marty? Mart? Marty? I want to be a circus horse! We could paint you white! And then paint you pink! Awesome! Not layin' very low, are we, Marty? Sonya! Where is the bear? Sonya! We're about to start! Hey, Vitaly! Got your game face on. (GROWLS) (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Good game face. What is that cat's problem? (IN RUSSIAN ACCENT) "I'm a mean Russian cat that isn't nice to anybody." Hey, honey, look! Look, I'm doin' it! Tee-hee! Guys, stop fooling around. We're just havin' a little fun. Let's let these animals do their show. Ta-da! # Da-da da-da-da da-da-da, circus! # Da-da da-da-da-da-da-da Afro Circus, Afro Circus, Afro # Polka dot, polka dot, polka dot, Afro! Really? Sonya! Where is Sonya the bear? (CON TE PARTIRO PLAYING) Aha! I want to kiss every inch of your huge head. It may take me a number of weeks. (SCREAMS) (GRUNTING) Hey, watch it! Don't! Ow! Ooh. That was heavy. (GROWLING) Don't cry. Stop crying! It makes me cry to see you cry, my darling. I will get you something even better. (ENGINE REVVING) (ALL SCREAMING) Hey, you can buy love. Whoa, whoa! Not too fast! Ladies and gentlemen, presenting-a Gia, the trapeze flying jaguar! And there she go. The triple-flip roll with a double leap, and... (SCREAMS) What are you doing? That's just paper. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Were you spying on me? No, no, no! I just came by to say that I don't want you to think... I don't want you to think of me as some sort of authority figure. Don't worry, I don't. You don't? Oh. Not at all. Well, the other circus animals might find me a bit intimidating. No. Nobody is intimidated at all by you. Oh! Good stuff. Good. Good news. In fact, I do not think they have given you a second thought since you showed up. That's good to hear. If anything, they're starting to feel sorry for you. Okay. I get it. Okay? Ow! Ooh! Is there more? Uh, I just wanted to thank you for letting us get on the train back there. I know the big cat with the accent wasn't so excited about us gettin' on the... (GRUNTS) Look, lion guy. This circus means everything to us. And if you do anything that threatens this circus, you will have to answer to me. Capisce? Uh, capisce, cool. Trust me. We're cool. Whoa! Oh! You call this layin' low? JULIEN: Whoo-hoo! Hey, hey, hey! (RATS SQUEAKING) JULIEN: Faster! Faster! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa-ho-ho! Where zere is circus, zere is lion! (CHUCKLES) And when in Rome... Vive la France! (RATTLING) (BLOWS WHISTLE) Halt! Come on, my hairy queen. We'll do doughnuts in the Pantheon. (JULIEN WHOOPING) Mmm. You're in-a big-a trouble. Now you're really in-a big-a trouble... Now you're really, really in-a big-a trouble... I'm-a new. (GUN CLICKING) (GRUMBLES) Okay! Strike up-a the band-a! You have a band? Prepare to be blown away! Blow me away! Here we go-a! Ha-ha! (ALL CHEERING) Look at this. Whoa! Hey! It's nice to be home! Ahhh! (DISAPPOINTEDLY) Yay. Hey! Whoa-a! How do dogs-a do-a that? MAN: Get on with it! Stupido! Uh-oh. (AUDIENCE BOOING) (TRUMPETS) (ALL GASP) Well, that was worth the price of admission. (WHINNYING) Hey, watch it, mate! (SCREAMS) Who's from-a Cincinnati? Stefano, you know "blown away" means good, right? Don't worry. The big finale is-a comin' up! Gimme a downbeat-a! Look at this! (HONKING) (ALL SCREAMING) Oh, no. No, this is not happening. You have a deal, mi amigo. Oh, it's-a good, no? Yes, go out and get-a food and come back! (CRICKETS CHIRPING) (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) (PEOPLE PROTESTING) Deep breaths. You're in a happy place. It's all good. There's an angry mob outside, and they're demanding their money back! I think we all know the right thing to do. Come on, come on, come on! MARTY: Come on! Come on! Hurry up! Get on the train! (GASPS) (EXCLAIMS IN FEAR) GLORIA: Come on, guys! Mamma mia! Grazie, Alice. Just throw us the money! (GROANS) Capitaine Chantal Dubois. Get up. I'm going to have to send you back to Monaco, under maximum security. What? (GASPS) It's just a pillow! Eh, that's the oldest-a trick in the book, Comandante. Every bambino in Italy knows-a that one. Maybe. Uh, but do they know about the old escape-a hole behind the innocent-a looking poster! Oh. Or the really old "I'm-a gonna hide up on the ceiling-a trick!" (WHISTLES) Of course. The secret-a tunnel under the bed! Get this thing out of the way. Let's go! This secret tunnel is a dead end! ITALIAN POLICEMAN: There's-a nothing but bedsprings and-a mattress-a stuffings down here! Was that the sound of a cell door-a closing? (COMPUTER BEEPS) Voila! COMANDANTE: Was that-a the sound of my HP printer printing? . ALEX: (GROANS) This is a disaster! GLORIA: We blow all our money on a bad circus, and we're not any closer to New York! If anything, we're further away! We could at least have bought a circus that knew how to circ! I don't even know why we bought a circus in the first place. We had enough dough for a plane! Are you kidding me? You must have some money left over. I used it to buy teeth and then have 'em capped in gold. Now I can eat apples! Sadly, I discovered I don't like apples. MARTY: No promoter is sendin' this show to America. It's toe up! GLORIA: Now it all makes sense. No wonder the circus master was so happy to sell. Shh! MARTY: He was happy all right. Happy about rippin' us off! (SCREAMS) Where did Alex go? I don't know. (SCREAMING) Come on! This-a way-a! No, no, no, you come this way! Hey, Alice-a, watch-a your head! (TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING) (YELLS) (GASPS) Alice-a! Alice-a! I'm fine! Ah-ha! Fantastic! (TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING) Was that trapeze-a Americano? Uh, yeah. Sort of. Incredible! I hope this is important. Come this way, Alice-a! By the way, it's "icks," not "iss." Alex. Like New York Knicks. I know. New York Kniss. Is not-a hard. Whoa! What is this place? I know you think we are a stinky, poopy circus, but there is something you must-a know. There was a time when Circus Zaragoza, we were a great-a circus! Numero uno in all-a the Europe! And Vitaly, he was the biggest star of us all. He was fearless. Taking-a risks. Always-a new. He jump-a through the hoop like he could fly! (AUDIENCE CHEERING) ALL: (CHANTING) Vitaly! Vitaly! Vitaly! Vitaly! Stefano! Make the hoop smaller. Like-a this-a? Smaller. Like-a this-a? Good! (POPS) (AUDIENCE CHEERING) STEFANO: It had never been done-a before because it was physically impossible! And the people, they loved it! WOMAN: Vitaly, grande! Smaller! (POPS) (ALL CHEERING) STEFANO: And the hoop-a, she got-a smaller! Like the ring on the finger of the tiniest lady with the slimmest of fingers. Bravo, Vitaly! He would not stop-a pushing. And one-a fateful day, he push-a too far! Light the hoop on fire! (ALL GASP) (ALL CHEERING) He fly too close-a to the sun and he got-a burned. Literally. The extra virgin olive oil is-a extra flammable. And he lost-a everything. His-a wife, she run off with a musician. He lost-a his-a dignity, his fame, his passion, and his fur. And when it grow-a back, it is-a less-a soft. More like a prickly beard. Scusi, Vitaly! (GROWLS) Wow! Nothing! His only passion now is the borscht. Whoa! He was our inspiration. So when he lost-a his passion... Well, as Vitaly goes, so goes the circus. This is why we need your help-a. What sort of help? You can teach us to do new circus. Americano style! We find a new passion. Make a new show. And we go all the way to U.S. and-a A-a. (CHAIR SQUEAKING) A-a! I know. It is stupido idea. We are a lost-a cause-a. No, no, no, this isn't stupido, this could work! What? What you just said. (GASPS) What? The idea you just said! Two seconds ago. What? Your stupido idea! It could? Stefano, you're a genius! No, no, no, no. I am only average intelligence-a. Some say I'm even slightly below. We are gonna rethink everything anybody's ever known about circus! I call it Phase four dash-seven-B wherein, in order to get home, we will come up with something fresh, something amazing, something brand-new! Fresh, never before seen! Off the chain! Something that'll blow that circus promoter away! (ALL SHOUTING) I missed. (ALL PROTESTING) Who do you think you are? I'm gonna chew his leg off! Circus has been same for generations! We make good, classic, family entertainment. A-ha! But last few generations, families not so entertained. (NERVOUS CHUCKLE) (CLEARS THROAT) That's right. Families not so entertained because you're just goin' through the motions out there! It's missing passion. How one to have passion for stool poked in face? Exactly! And by stool, you mean chair, right? The fact is, you guys, you got stuck in a rut. You stopped pushing. You stopped taking risks. But those days are over. Because now, we're gonna completely change the show! Then it wouldn't be a circus, would it? Yeah. Circus is not about the acts you do. Circus is in here. How come's Freddie gets all the circus? Circus is about following your passions. Wherever they take you! (SCOFFS) You cannot change circus. There is long tradition! That's what everybody thought, Vitaly, until those French Canadians came along, drunk off their maple syrup and cheap pharmaceuticals, and completely flipped the paradigm! Now they play Vegas! 50 shows a day, in 52 separate venues! And one of them completely in the nude! Yeah. That's right. And you know how they did it? Take off-a their clothes? No. They got rid of the animals. ALL: What? Say it ain't so! FREDDIE: No. No, it ain't true. (ALL PROTESTING) (GROWLS) How could they? Well, you know what I say to that? I say they can take the animals out of the circus, but they cannot take the animals out of the circus! I mean, they cannot... (CLEARS THROAT) I think you understand what I'm saying! Yeah. ALL: Yes. Uh, no! We don't need humans because we've got passion! What does a human say when he's passionate? He says, "I'm an animal!" Well, we are animals! That's right! (ROARING) ALL: Yes! Yes! We'll make an all-animal circus! Because if we follow our passion, we can go anywhere! Anywhere! We can do anything! Anything! If we do it together! All of us! Yeah. (ALL WHOOPING) Yes! Yeah! We're in! We'll have some of that! Can I hear you say "Fur power"? Fur power! Take our circus back and we'll do it together! ALL: (CHANTING) Fur power! You and me, baby! What? An act together! I love it! We can do that funky groove dance thing! Uh, dance? This thing right here. Look. (HUMMING) Huh? Me and you! We got this! Uh, but I, I, I... I can't dance. ALL: (CHANTING) Fur power! Chanting is fun! Chanting is fun! Chanting is fun! Fur power! Fur power! (LAUGHING) Bah! I do not trust this lion. Vitaly, I may not trust him either, but I am tired of sitting and standing and rolling over. It is great tradition of sitting, standing, rolling over. You know our circus is in trouble. This could be our last chance. But we will not do this without you. Circus always stay-a together. (SIGHS) Okay. I do one hoop. (WHOOPS) I want a hug-a, too! (ALL CHUCKLING) (ENGINE WHIRRING) Attention! I have found our lion! He is hiding with the circus! # Non! Rien de rien! # Non! Je ne regrette rien! # Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait # Ni le mal, tout ca m'est bien egal! # Non! Rien de rien! (GRUNTING) # Non! Je ne regrette rien! (GRUNTING) # Car ma vie # Car mes joies (CRIES OUT IN PAIN) # Aujourd'hui # Ca commence avec toi! # . (MAN YODELLING) STEFANO: More-a boom-a-stick, Rico! I really want to fly! Are you really gonna shoot yourself out of that thing? I've always dreamed of doing this. From-a time I was a little pup. To be a human cannonball-a! Except, you know, a sea lion cannonball-a. Is it dangerous? Is it dangerous? Yes, of course it's dangerous! Now, are you sure about this? I'm-a sure. 'Cause if blowin' up is your thing, then you in the right place. Si. That's means-a yes! Ready for launch? Ready for launch! Fire in the hole! Wait! (SCREAMING) (MOANS) Mamma mia! Help-a me-a! Rico! Get the cannon ready! Same charge! SKIPPER: Fire in the hole! Ooh! Whoa! (SCREAMING) (WHOOPING) All right! Ha-ha! (CONTINUES WHOOPING) Yeah! Whoo! Marty! I'm so glad you're-a here. Whoo! I was flyin'! I was F-N-L-Y-in'! I'm proud of you, but... (CRIES OUT) I don't think I can hold on much longer! Uh, oh, yeah, right. Sorry about my enthusiasm. Here, wrap this around you. All right, I got you. I got ya! (EXCLAIMS JOYFULLY) (WHOOPING) Forget about bein' part of the herd. I'm gonna be part of the flock! I'm gonna fly, baby! Oh, yes! What a triumph! Oi, what's with you? Hand over that circus, Freddie! I'll have your guts for garters. Hey, hey, hey. Put your weapons down. Come on, guys, chill out. Cute and cuddly's obviously not your thing. What? Oh, he's got us pegged. I got a better idea. Show 'em, Rico. (POWERING UP) (SCREAMS) Oh, that was great! DOG 1: Flippin' 'eck! DOG 2: Rocket shoes! I wanna try that! Come on! Whew! Hey! Hi. I admire how you have inspired these animals. Oh, thanks. And what you said about passion, it was like poetry. I love passion and poetry. They go together, really. I mean, I know they don't rhyme. Trapeze is my passion. Terrific. I look forward to seeing you up there... You can teach me! What? Teach me. Oh, well, you know, I've always been kind of a solo act. So that kind of rules that out. I wonder if you actually do trapeze. Oh! I actually do do trapeze. Show me! (SCOFFS) "Show me"? What are we, five? I am five, yes. (STAMMERS) (SIGHS) (DANCE MUSIC PLAYING) MELMAN: Dancing. All you're doin' is moving and not getting anywhere. I mean, the... The music totally throws off my timing. You want... You want excitement? Ha-ha! Check it out. Who's on a tightrope, huh? Huh? Who's on a... (SCREAMS) I'm on a tightrope! I'm on a tightrope! Melman! Oh, my gosh! Help me! Baby, hold on! Hold on, I'm coming right now! (EXCLAIMING IN FEAR) (SCREAMS) Melman? (EXCLAIMING RHYTHMICALLY) Calm down, Melman. I'm gonna fall and break all of my neck! Just look at me. Look at me! All eyes on me. Okay. Come to me. I... I can't. It's just like dancing, Melman. Two steps forward, one step back. I can't dance, okay? Okay? There, I said it. Maybe because you've never tried. No, I have tried. I... I practiced in private, because you dance so well. You practiced? For me? Yes. But it's no use. I never know what to do with my arms. Whoa! Ahhh! Hold it, okay? Whoa! That part is so easy, Melman, okay? 'Cause all you have to do is put 'em around your partner. See? Two steps forward. One step back. Whoo! I'm dancin'. Ha! Two steps forward. I'm dancin'! One step back. We're dancin' on a tightrope! You're great. Whoo-hoo! I'm dancin'! (BOTH WHOOPING) Okay. (SIGHS) Whew! All right. So, when do we get the jet packs and aquatic cobras? Uh, well, this is a beginners class, and that's a pretty advanced manoeuvre. Okay, how do we begin? Well, it's a bit complicated unless you understand the whole pitch and yaw. Arc and gravity. All that stuff, which I won't bore you with! Okay. Ah! Do you need a push? No. (LAUGHS) Just... Just watch and learn! Whoa! Whoa! # Love always comes as a surprise # You don't need to close your eyes Like that? That's one way of doing it, sure. # 'Cause soon you'll recognize its colours # Life, well, it always has a twist Whoa! Wow! You use a net! Yes! Trapeze Americano. We use the net. # You know I can't resist this feeling Trapeze Americano! # I used to feel so far from home (GROANS) # I thought all hope had flown Whoa! (LAUGHING) # Just a dreamer on my own # And I know life's complicated # But we have to try Look at him go! # To find our own future with you at my side (GRUNTING) # We can all work together to build something new # I know you can see it Let's make it come true # (LAUGHS) Wow! (ALL LAUGHING) Bravo! Bravissima! Hey, Vitaly, maybe you even do-a two hoops-a, no? Psst! Senorita Bellbottoms. Tenemos una problema grande. Que? Que grande problema? Oh, no! She's onto us! Shh! Don't make it any easier on the psycho. What are we gonna do? We'd better vamoose pronto. But we're not ready. We're in the middle of rehearsals. Well, then why don't you lilt over, grab your peduncle and kiss New York goodbye. Are you sure-a we are-a ready? Of course, we're ready! Born ready! Ready steady! Come on, let's go! Let's go, go, go, go, go! SKIPPER: All right, you heard the cat. Move it! Come on! All aboard! Grab your luggage and drain your bladders. It's gonna be a long ride! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! JONESY: Oi! What's the rush? All right, everybody, let's blow that promoter away! (ALL WHOOPING) MELMAN: London, here we come! MARTY: Sunshiny London, yes! (AUDIENCE CHEERING) AUDIENCE: (CHANTING) Vitaly! Vitaly! Vitaly! Vitaly! (GASPING FEARFULLY) (BIG BEN TOLLING) SKIPPER: Come on, come on, come on, where is he? Bingo! If that's not a red-blooded American promoter, I don't know what is! We need to get this show on the road. Private! Tell them the eagle has landed. The eagle has landed! Roger that. Oh, and keep an eye out for Dubois. Aye-aye, guvnor! The promoter is in the house! New York is closer than ever! Let's not get ahead of ourselves. First, we got a circus to do. Got it. We're on, folks! Do we go on before or after the dogs? Yes. BOTH: What? Overlap. Your acts overlap. We go on between? Where's Vitaly? He opens. I don't know. Tu lo viste? Stefano! Hey! Stefano! Have you seen Vitaly? (STEFANO WHIMPERING) Hey. Stefano, why the sad little face? Vitaly! He will not go on! What? I tried everything I could! (WEEPING) (SHUSHING) Wipe away the tears. Calm down. Where is he? I'm sure I can reason with him. Vitaly, what are you doing? You missed. You're leaving? You're just gonna walk out on everybody? They have good show without me. Look. I got a good left foot, but without my right foot I can't walk. You get fake foot. Then you walk. I don't want fake foot! Okay? (SIGHS) What happened to "circus stick together," huh? "The show must go on." Cliches. Come on, man, stop being this guy! Be the other guy! What other guy? The guy who was all circus! The guy who jumped through hoops! Give me that! The guy everybody looked up to. Come on. Where's that Vitaly? That Vitaly is no more. Listen, man. You may have given up on yourself, but your friends haven't given up on you. Are you just gonna turn your back on them and sit and eat borscht the rest of your life? Or are you gonna get out there and jump through that tiny little hoop? It is impossible. (SIGHS) It was always impossible, Vitaly. That's why the people loved it. That is why I loved it. Because I did the impossible! I was once a brave tiger. And if I go down in flames, (LAUGHS) so be it! You know, I think I might have an idea for you. . Light the hoop on fire! (HEART POUNDING) (GROWLS) (ALL GASPING) Oh, mamma mia, Santa Maria, Santa Maria. Mamma Maria, mia Santa, Santa Mia Farrow. Come on, you got it. (POPS) (GASPS) Yeah! (ALL CHEERING) (EXCLAIMING HAPPILY) Yes! All right, what are you waitin' for? We got a show to put on! Let's go! Go, go, go, go, go! # Ignite the light # And let it shine # Just own the night # Like the Fourth of July # 'Cause, baby, you're a firework # Come on, show 'em what you're worth # Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh" # As you shoot across the sky-y-y # Baby, you're a firework # Come on, let your colours burst # Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh" # You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe # Boom, boom, boom # Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon # It's always been inside of you, you, you # And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough # 'Cause, baby, you're a firework # Come on, show 'em what you're worth # Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh" # As you shoot across the sky-y-y # Baby, you're a firework # Come on, let your colours burst # Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh" # You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe # Boom, boom, boom # Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon # Boom, boom, boom # Even brighter than the moon, moon, oh # Boom, boom, boom # Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon # Boom, boom, boom # Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon # (BOTH LAUGHING) We're goin' to America! Whoo! Today! Yeah! Now, that's what I call crack-a-lackin' to the mack-a-lackin'! We did it, Alice-a! Yeah! Maybe I am average intelligence after all! Perhaps even slightly above. No, I don't think so. Ha! Hair conditioner. Great idea, my friend! Feel. Huh, go ahead. Soft like kitten, no? Oh, look at that. Slippery but not flammable. Ah, you smell like-a peaches and herb! (BOTH WHOOPING) Gia and Alex, the Trapezing Cats! We did pretty good. You will flip and I will catch. And sometimes I will flip and you will catch. And then we will both flip and we'll travel the whole world! (LAUGHING JOYOUSLY) # New York, New York! It's a heck of a town! # (GIA TALKING INDISTINCTLY) Uh, you know, the thing is... I... I may not always be around. Where are you going? Well, I'm, I'm... (MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVVING) Bravo, bravo! What a heart-warming performance, Monsieur Circus Master. It brought tears to my eyes. (LAUGHS) No, not really. ON SPEAKER: Monsieur, we both know the lion does not belong to you. (GASPS) It's that horrid woman! He is a fugitive from justice. You will turn the lion over to me, so that I may put him where he belongs. (YELLS) On my wall. (LAUGHS MALICIOUSLY) (ALL GRUNTING) What? SKIPPER: Incoming! (GRUNTS) Ooh! SKIPPER: Outgoing! Wait! (CANNON FIRING) (ALL SCREAMING) SKIPPER: A-ha! Hoo-hah! Down low. Too slow. Well done, Private. Did I do good? Nah, not really. Whew! Man, that was close! Alex? You are from a zoo? Yes. Yes. But wait, there's more. More? Or less. There's less. You were never circus? Well, we... We had to say we were circus. Or you'd never have let us on the train! After all we have been through together, you want to go live in a zoo? Gia, I... You used us. No, no, no! I mean... I mean, yes, but... And trapeze Americano, you make that up, too? It didn't exactly exist when I taught it to you. Ooh, jet packs and aquatic cobras! I should have known. Balloons-a to the children of the world-a was-a not real, either? Well, yeah, that's not real, but look at what we did. I was shot out of a cannon! I could have-a died! But I thought it was your lifelong dream. For all I know your name is not even-a Alice. No, Stefano, but it never really was. I don't-a feel-a safe! (WEEPING) Gia, I... We trusted you. My tears are real! You are not! I can't believe you lied to all us circus folk. (BLOWS NOSE) JULIEN: Me? Stay with the circus? (SONYA GROWLS) Ow! I am a king! I want to rule New York! (JULIEN GRUNTING) Stop it! No means no! Or in your language... (MIMICS ROAR) (ROARS) Not everything is solved that way, you know? Sonya? Are you listening to me? Now I'm getting the silent treatment, am I? Come over here right now! Don't shut me out, baby! What is wrong with you? Speak! (GROWLS FIERCELY) Okay, if these are your feelings, I understand now. And I'm going! It's obvious I'm just an emotional whoopee cushion for you to sit on! When you look for where I am, I won't be there! (JULIEN SOBBING) (WHIMPERS) Come, everybody. We have show to do. But-a how do I go on-a without-a Marty? Stefano. I don't know what to do. You can still do cannon solo. But-a I want to do-a solo act-a with Marty! (SOBBING) And what do I do? Go back to sitting and standing and rolling over? No. We can do impossible! And we never go back to way we used to be. The way it used to be isn't the way it was. And it won't be the same-a without-a them-a, whatever way it is. (BELL TOLLING) Well, we're here. Home. Huh. My rock looks smaller than I remember it. Look at the mural. Doesn't actually capture the real thing, does it? Wow. I forgot about that wall in between us, Melman. Mmm-hmm. Was that always there? Guys, I'm sorry I ever left the zoo in the first place. What do you mean? I mean if I had just stayed put, we wouldn't have anything to be sad about right now. Leaving the zoo was the best thing that ever happened to us. Really? Yeah. Out there in the world, we were really living. JULIEN: Yeah! It was exciting! JULIEN: Uh-huh! It was romantic. It was dangerous. I've never felt so alive! When we were with the circus, we were already home. I only wish we'd realized that sooner. I'm really gonna miss those guys. What do you say we go back? Really? Oh! I'm in! I'm with ya! But what do we tell them? Well, we make it right by telling them how wrong we were. It's worth a shot. (MIMICKING VITALY) And if we go down in flames, so be it! GLORIA: Yes! Let's do this! JULIEN: I like it! MARTY: Yeah, yeah! Hey, is my neck getting longer? Feel my fur. It's so soft. It is soft. I'm like a candy cane in a black and white movie. Oh, no. Dubois. Sonya, I miss you, baby! I miss my stinky bear! Babe! I miss fishy kisses! Surprise! (CLICKING TONGUE) He will never fit in the carry-on. But his head will! (LAUGHS TRIUMPHANTLY) MAN 1: Hey! (SPEAKS FRENCH) Look! Look what she's done! You brought back Alex the Lion! MAN 2: You brought him home. It's a miracle! Thank you. Thank you! Eh, you're a hero! JULIEN: Sonya, where are you? Sonya! Excuse me. (ROARING) Sonya baby! I don't want to be king anymore! I was so hung up on who I was, who you was, what you smelled like, when all that really matters is what we smell like together. (SONYA MOANS) JULIEN: I know! Baby, forgive me. Oh! Hello? Hello! Gasp! It's Dubois! Baba booey! Oh, Sonya. Where did you get this? I got it from the zoo. The hippies got ambushed! What? We have to help them! But they lied to us! Yeah! Why should we lift a paw? They are our friends! They're not even circus! That's Bolshevik! I never thought I'd say this on American soil, but the Russki's right! . (GROANING) Oh, no. Alex? Where... Where are you? Gloria! Are you okay? Oh. MAYOR: Presenting the King of New York City! What is happening? Alex! No, no! No, no! Alex the Lion! (PEOPLE CHEERING) Thank you. Thank you all for coming to this special celebration. And now, the woman who made this all possible. Who brought Alex the Lion and a couple of... Three? Three other animals back to New York. And she's French. Ooh-la-la! Please welcome Chantal Dubois! (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) (CAMERAS CLICKING) (ALL GASPING) Alex? (FEEDBACK) It was never about the money. It was about the lion. (EXCLAIMS IN SURPRISE) Gia? Circus stick together.
