Dialogue
[edit]- [Lion had accidentally caused a stampede at a curling game. Lion angrily glares at him]
- Lion 1: [nervously] I told you I'd come to the game. [chuckles]
- Lion 2: [enraged] DVDs Can Be Ordered Individually Or As A Part Of A Pack There Is A Preschool Prep Pack That Is Right For Everyone!
- Lion 1: I'm So Sorry Are You Hurt.
- Lion 2: You’ll Actually Be Able To Get Secret Easter Egg Loading Screens Which Feature The Pangolin!
- Lion 1: Here We See Professor Wide Bottom Famous Scientist Who Has Just…
- Lion 2: I mean, what is it? What's the problem? Is all of this because you can't roar?
- [Everyone gasps, Lion looks hurt. Lions eyes widen in worry about what he angrily said to him.]
- Lion 2: Lion, I didn't mean that.
- Lion 1: You know what I'm doing when I'm sulking up in my tree? I'm thinking how great it would be if Lion the Wild wasn't my father.
- Lion 2: Why? Lion, I… I didn't…
- Lion 1: 'Cause it would make being Lion the Lame a whole lot easier. [angrily runs off]
- Lion 2: Lion, I'm sorry. Lion! Please don't… leave.
- Snaie: [shows up] Bye, Lion! Thanks for coming to the game. And you were worried he wouldn't show up.
- Bridget: Benny, please tell me we're not in a dangerous jungle with an 8-inch squirrel protecting us?
- Benny: Actually, I'm 9 inches. But other than that, yes.
- Bridget: So that means...
- Nigel: We are going to die! [screaming]
- [Larry, Bridget and Nigel begin freaking out and running around in circles.]
- [talking about a sewer system]
- Samson: Appears to be a human bathing area.
- Nigel: You mean humans don't lick themselves clean? Disgusting!
- Benny: Hey, watch where you goin', you, big, big...!
- [the music begins Lovin' You by Minnie Riperton playing]
- Benny: Bridget.
- Bridget: Don't stare at my spots, Benny, my eyes are up here.
- [the music stops when Benny hears a crash]
- Blag: [to Kazar] And for the record, I've always hated your choreography. It's so... '80s.
- Samson: Who are you?
- Camo: Our names aren't important.
- Cloak: I'm Cloak, he's Camo. We're covert agents. [gets hit by Camo] Ow!
- Samson: Those boxes are bad news. Stay away.
- Woman: [screaming]] It's a rat! Get that rat off my baby!
- Benny: A rat? spinning in the air holding a candy necklace Hello!
- Baby: Silly, silly rat.
- Benny: [shudders] Rats do not got bling like this, lady.
- Woman: You little...! [smacks Benny with her purse]
- Larry: Hey, you think it has anything to do with that? his head points at the volcano
- Bridget: All right, hang on a second. Either I'm starving or Larry is making sense.
- [repeated line]
- Talking Koala Bear Doll: I'm so cuddly, I like you.
- Benny: [after being confronted by a pack of wildebeest] Don't panic, I'm in charge here.
- Bridget: That's why we're panicking!
- Benny: I say we fan out in circles.
- Bridget: What are we, peacocks? We don't fan, we run. Run for your lives, everybody!
- Larry: Guys, I've got an idea! Why don't we ask them? points at the wildebeests
- Wildebeest: I'll take the one with the funny knees.
- Benny: The funny knee...? Yaah!
- Bridget: Benny, no! he charges, but the wildebeest knocks him out Benny?
- Wildebeest: Get them! Bridget and Larry scream
- [first lines]
- Samson: So there I was, face to face with the biggest, meanest leopard on this side of the Serengeti, and...
- Ryan: You roared so loud, his spots flew clean off. Dad, I've heard this like a billion times.
- Samson: Uh, Do you know the one where I made the laughing hyenas...
- Ryan: Cry? Yep.
- Samson: The croc attack?
- Ryan: Dad.
- Samson: Okay, think.
- Ryan: Yeah, you do that.
- Samson: All right, Mr. Smart Guy. Here's one I know you haven't heard. It all started in the little place I like to call... The Wild.
- Scab and Scraw: [finding Ryan on a tree branch] Ooh, a lion cub.
- Scab: We must tell Kazar.
- Scraw: It's my turn to tell him!
- Scab: You got to tell him last time!
- Scraw: No, I didn't!
- Scab: Oh, yes, you did! [squawks]
- [cut to Benny, with the dung beetles]
- Benny: Mm, what? Wha... wha...? Whoa. Wait! What, what? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Hey, hey, hey! Ow, ow, ow! Hey! Ow! Get off me! [to the dung beetles] What is goin' on here?!
- Dung Beetle 1: Stinky does not speak.
- Dung Beetle 2: It rolls like a little ball.
- Benny: Wait, wait. You guys think I'm a...?
- Dung Beetle 1: [to Benny] Achtung, Stinky!
- Dung Beetle 2: Less talk, more roll.
- Dung Beetle 1: Ja.
- All: Roll! Roll!
- Benny: What the...? [grunting] Hey!
- Dung Beetle 1: Rolling the dung is good for tight buns! [chuckling, rolling away]
- Benny: I'll give you something to roll about! [spins around to the ground, shuddering] It's a good thing Bridget didn't see that!
- [Benny walks up to Hamir]
- Benny: Hamir! Hamir! [smacking Hamir] Get a grip on yourself!
- Hamir: Oh, Benny, I am needing until Friday before I pay you back.
- Benny: No, no, it's Ryan. He's in one of those green boxes, and they took him away in a truck! We got to find him.
- Hamir: That is not good, not good at all. [pigeons are dancing behind him trying to tell him something] Ah! I know, I know! I am telling him, you crazy pigeons! [sighs]
- Kazar: Step, kick, pivot, kick, walk, walk, walk! Aaaahhh! Why do we even bother rehearsing? [snorts at Blag] Mmmmm. Mmm-mm. A good chorus line is so hard to put together.
- Blag: Kazar, I think you'll be very pleased with what I brought you.
- Kazar: What's this? Where's the other lion?
- Blag: Right. Well, I was gonna tell you. There was this cliff and, uh– [Kazar huffs angrily at Blag] Why are you looking at me like that?
- Kazar: That's twice you've been out of step today, Blag! [As Kazar speaks, Blag slips off the edge, but holds on] You klutz. You know we can't ascend to the top of the food chain, until we eat a lion! Well, at least there'll be enough for my ascension.
- Blag: What about the rest of us?
- Kazar: Step-kick, pivot-kick! [Kazar kicks Blag's face, then Blag falls down in front of Ryan, Bridget, and Larry] Ha-ha!
- Blag: [twists his hoof] Ouch! I twisted a hoof!
- Kazar: You work, and you work. Then they break your heart.
- Blag: [off-screen] There goes my career!
- Kazar: Prepare the sacrifices!
- Nigel: If you don't give us ice creams pretty quick, you're gonna walk the plank, sir.
- Samson: Girls, put him down.
- Nigel: I am not a doll!
- Monkey 1: Cushy Tushy!
- Nigel: Ah! Leave my bum alone!
- Benny: Nigel, get your paws off my girlfriend!
- Bridget: Benny, I am not your girlfriend!
- Stan: You done running your mouth yet, Carmine? Huh, are you? Huh, huh, huh? [turns to Samson and his friends] I apologize, he never got over being flushed down the toilet. [hits Carmine twice again] Huh?
- Carmine: Yeah.
- Nigel: Ooh. Does anyone have any eucalyptus wipes?
- Bridget: We cannot lose to flightless birds!
- Samson: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No one is losing anything around here, as long as we stay focused. By the way, has anyone seen Ryan?
- Larry: Oh, oh, I know. Maybe he's sulking because he lives in his father's shadow, and he roars like a school girl.
- Samson: Thanks, Larry.
- Larry: You betcha.
- Samson: Hey! Hey, Ryan. Listen, I'm heading down to the game. I'm gonna see you there, right? Come on, Ryan, we need you. You're our biggest fan.
- Rhino: Yo, Samson! Ha, I'm your number one fan, man! Whoo!
- Samson: Thanks, man! Right back at ya!
- Ryan: You were saying, Dad?
- Samson: Ryan, listen, about this afternoon, I was just trying...
- Ryan: Dad, fine. I'll go to your game, all right?
- Samson: OK. I'll, uh... see you there, then.
- Hyrax: Aaahh! Doesn't anyone ever knock anymore?
- Samson: Hey, where's my son? Did he come through here?
- Hyrax: Yeah, now that I think about it, he did come through here. [turns to toilet] Hello? Come out of there, baby lion, your dad's here! Well, what do you know, it's a whole pride of lions down here!
- Samson: Hold on, Larry, do that again!
- Larry: Do what?
- Samson: Whatever you just did, but the opposite!
- Larry: But I don't know my opposites!
- Samson: No, Larry, like this!
- Bridget: Sam!
- Samson: I improvised. Now jump!
- Bridget: Down there?
- Samson: Yes!
- Bridget: Whoa!
- Nigel: Waaah!
- Samson: We're leaving, Larry! Whoa!
- Larry: Whoa-ah. Ugh! Uh, oh.
