Madagascar Movie - Memorable Character Lines

Memorable Quotes
from the 2005
Madagascar Movie

As an adult, I love childrens movies because
much of the dialogue is really only understood by
the adults... I am never quite sure what the kids
are laughing at when a line is said by a cartoon character,
but I do know the adults got it by the sound
of their laughter. I always buy the video or DVD, watch it
and then send it on to my grandchildren.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Marty the Zebra: The penguins are going, so why can't I?
Alex the Lion: Marty, the penguins are psychotic.

Alex the Lion
Did he just say "Grand Central Station," or "My aunt's constipation"?

Marty the Zebra
I'm ten years old. My life is half over and I don't even know
if I'm black with white stripes or white with black stripes!

Alex the Lion
27, 28, 29, 30. Hmm, Thirty.
You have thirty black stripes and only twenty-nine white ones.
You are black with white stripes. Mystery solved. Good night!

Alex the Lion:
I feel like a mile-high, pastrami on rye, on the fly from the deli in the sky!

Private the Penguin:
Skipper. Shouldn't we tell them that the boat is out of gas?
Skipper the Penguin:
Nah! Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave.

Marty the Zebra:
Alex, do not interrupt me when I'm daydreaming.
If a zebra's in the zone, leave him alone.

Alex the Lion:
(talking in his sleep)
Come on now, baby. My little filet. My little filet mignon with a
little fat around the edges. I like that.
I like a little fat on my steak.
My sweet, juicy steak. You are a rare delicacy.

Gloria the Hippo:
Okay, let's make a good impression on the people.
Big smiles, everyone. Let's get it together.
(says to Melman).....
Gloria the Hippo: Is that the best you can do?
Melman the Giraffe: Oh, I'm not smiling. It's gas.
Gloria the Hippo: Okay, well, great. Let's make gas look good.

Gloria the Hippo: Melman! Are you okay?
Melman the Giraffe: Yeah. I often doze off while I'm getting an MRI.
Alex the Lion: Melman, you're not getting an MRI.
Melman the Giraffe: CAT scan?
Alex the Lion: No! No CAT scan! It's a transfer! It's a zoo transfer!

Julian: Welcome to Madagascar.
Marty the Zebra: Mada-who-ah?
Julian: No. Not who-ah. As-car.

Marty the Zebra: You the cat.
Alex the Lion: Who's the cat?
Marty the Zebra: You the cat.
Alex the Lion: Who's the cat?
Marty the Zebra: You the cat.
Alex the Lion: Who's the cat?
Marty the Zebra: You the cat.
Alex the Lion: Who's the cat?
Marty the Zebra: You the cat.
Alex the Lion: Who's the cat?

Mason the Chimpanzee:
(Mason and Phil are surrounded by police)
If you have any poo, fling it now.

Julian:
Shh! We're hiding. Be quiet everyone. That includes me.
Shh! Who's making that noise? Oh, it's me again...

Alex the Lion:
Whoa! Hold up there a second, fuzzbucket.
You mean like, uh, the "live in a mud hut,|
wipe yourself with a leaf" type wild?
Julian: Who wipes?
Gloria the Hippo: Oy vey.

Melman the Giraffe:
Hey! Hey, you guys! That room has some nifty little sinks
we can wash up in, and look! Free mints!
(Removes the urinal cake out of his mouth)

Alex the Lion:
(says to Marty)
You know your black and white stripes? They cancel each other out!

Alex the Lion:
Oh, great! San Diego. That means I have to compete with Shamu
and his smug little grin. I can't top that! Can't top it!

Melman the Giraffe:
(Melman presents Marty with a thermometer)
Marty the Zebra:
Ah, this is great! Thanks!
(Marty puts the thermometer in his mouth and poses]
Melman the Giraffe:
I really wanted to give you a personal present.
Do you know that was my first rectal thermometer?

Zoo Animal:
Shut up, shut up, shut up! I'm trying to sleep?
Not everyone here is nocturnal, you know!
Marty the Zebra:
Hey, I'll knock your turnal right off, pal!

There are many more funny lines...
but I love these the best!
