Julien said riding up to the dying hole "Giddy-up, giddy-up! Look, Maurice! Here's the perfect spot for my summer palace! So please fill in all these holes and relocate the riff-raff. Oh. Who'd leave a perfectly good head?"

Maurice said "What a waste."
Melman said "Tell me about it. I'm in my prime here. I'm terminal, you know? I probably only have another two days left to live."
Maurice said "That's a bummer, man."
King Julien said "If I, King Julien... that's my name....only had two days left to live, I would do all the things I've ever dreamed of doing."

Melman asked "Like what?"
King Julien said I'd love to become a professional whistler. I'm pretty amazing at it now, but I want to get even better, make my living out of it" he began blowing raspberries "You know what else I would do? I would invade a neighboring country and impose my own ideology, even if they didn't want it!"
Melman said "Easy for you to say. You're a king."
King Julien said "Yes. And you are only just a sad little head. There must be something you want to do before you die!"
Melman said "Well, there is this one thing."
Julien said "What? Tell me."
Melman said "No, I couldn't."
Julien asked "What is it?"
Melman said "You know, I never told Gloria how I feel about her."
Julien said "What is it? Please tell me!"
Melman said "I never had the guts to tell Gloria how I feel about her. How I've always felt about her."
Julien said "Fine. Don't tell me! Oh...Is it a woman? You didn't tell me it's a woman."
Maurice said "What are you afraid of? You're a dead man anyway."
Melman said "Yeah. Yeah. You're right."
Julien said "Well, you've got to march right up to this woman. Look her right in the eye. Lean forward. Just a little, or almost all the way. Then you let her lean forward a little until you're....just lips' distance away from each other. Then you tell her how much you hate her."

Melman said "Actually, it's more like love her."
Julien said "Oh, you sly dog! Woof, woof! You're a real player. Now listen to me. You got to rise up. You hearing me?"
Maurice said "He didn't hear you. "
Julien said "I can't hear you!"
Melman said "Yeah."
Julien said "Good. You got to rise up!"
Maurice sang "Rising up!"
Julien said "You're gonna get out of the hole!"
Melman said "I'm rising out of the ground!"
Julien said "He's rising, Maurice."
Maurice said "I'm rising, Maurice!"
Maurice said "Rising!"
Julien said "You go right up to this woman!"
Maurice asked "Do you feel it?"

Julien shouted "Go up to her face!"
Maurice shouted "Tell the truth!"
Melman said "I'm going to tell her!"
Julien said "And then you say, "Baby, I dig you!""
Melman said "Yeah! I'm going to do it! I'm going to do it!" Melman ran off. Julian said "I love that happy little head."

Then at night is the big date for Gloria and moto Moto, there were birds helping.

Moto Moto sang "She loves me She loves my eyes, She loves me She loves my thighs, She loves my roundness, She love that I'm chunky She love that I'm plumpy, She love my heftiness She love my zestiness She love me restlessly She love me forever She love me... ..'cause she love me"

Gloria said "Moto Moto...before things get too serious, well, I was wondering, if I were to, for example, stay here... l'd like to ask you..."

Moto Moto said "Let your candied lips be the messengers to my... ear canal."
Gloria said "Well I don't know. I have so many questions."
Moto Moto said "Well I promise the answer will always be yes. Unless no is required."
Gloria said "Okay. So what is it about me that you find so interesting?"
Moto Moto said "You're the most plumpenest girl I've ever met."
Gloria said "OK. Other than that."
Moto Moto said "Let's see. Yeah, well, you know... you chunky."
Gloria said "Right."
Moto Moto said "My gosh, girl, you huge."
Gloria said "You said that."
Moto Moto said "Yeah, that's right. We don't have to talk no more."
From the forests. Melman appeared "Gloria! Gloria."
Gloria said "Melman. Melman, I want you to meet Moto Moto.
Melman: Moto Moto. Yeah, nice to meet you. Well I guess I..."
Gloria said "It's OK, Melman. Apology accepted."
Melman said "Oh. Yeah, right, that. That's why I... Good. OK. Well, that's it, then."
Moto Moto said "You're good. We're kind of busy here, man."
Melman said "No. No, that's not it." He pulls Moto Moto from Gloria "Listen, Mototo, you better treat this lady like a queen. Because you, my friend, you found yourself the perfect woman. If I was ever so lucky to find the perfect woman, I'd would give her flowers every day. And not just any flowers. OK? Her favorites are orchids. White. And breakfast in bed. Six loaves of wheat toast, butter on both sides. No crust, the way she likes it. I'd be her shoulder to cry on and her best friend. I'd spend every day thinking of how to make her laugh. She has the most amazing laugh. That's what I would do if I were you. But I'm not, so you do it."
Moto Moto said "OK. What?"
Hippo said "That was beautiful."

(anyone else thinking he was cheating?)

Moto Moto asked "Anyways, where were we?"
Gloria said "I'm "huge"?"

The next morning, Alex is tilting his head angrily as if he was breaking the fourth wall.
"Surprised to see me, Makunga? Well, I'm here to set things straight, like a real lion! Is this real enough for you? How about this? This is for setting me up! This is for stealing my dad's job! This is for humiliating my family! And making me look like a fool!"

The nest has the birds come out and they attack Alex while he spits some of them with its feathers
Alex said "Had enough? Sure, fly away. Coward!"

Garifeld walked up to him "Wow, punching a nest." Alex asked "Garfield? Shouldn't you be with the wild cats?" Garfield said "Nah, I was supposed to marry all of the woman and care for the cubs, but I'm a cat. A house cat. I'm only good at what I'm good at."

Alex nodded then got it "Hey, hey you're right. I'm good at what I'm good at. Thanks man."

Garfield said "No problem."

They heard someone screamed in horror. They go over and saw that the watering hole was all gone. The animals have gathered there and sees a fish.
"The water. It's gone." "Oh no.l
Hippo said "The watering hole is never gone dry before."
"We're gonna need a lot more dying holes."
Bobby asked "How could this happen?"
Makunga said "Out of my way! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?!?"
Bobby said "The watering hole's dried up! There's barely enough water for one of us!"

Makunga said "Yes. Good observation, Shirley."
Bobby said "I'm Bobby."
Giraffe asked "Makunga, what do we do?"
Makunga said "QUIET!!! Listen up! I'm afraid there is only one solution to this horrible crisis: We'll all have to fight for it."
Hippo said "Fight for it? We can't fight for it."

"That's crazy.
Bobby said "That's not fair. You'd win!"
Makunga said "Exactly, Shirley."
Bobby said "I'm Bob..."
Before Bobby can finish, Makunga kicks him up, shocking the other animals.
Makunga said "Sorry, folks, but life isn't fair. I'm in charge now, thanks to Alakay, the dancing lion."

Timo said "Please, Makunga, this is the only water on the reserve."
Makunga said "If you're thirsty, you'll have to look for water off the reserve."
Animals said "Off the reserve?! It's too dangerous! Hunters would shoot us! No one leaves the reserve and survives!"

But then, as the animals talk, Alex looks back and remembered how he left the reserve when he got caught in the crate by the hunters when he was a cub.
Alex said "I left the reserve! And survived. I can do something about this. Looks like a clogged pipe. Like we get in New York all the time. I'll just travel upriver..."
"Upriver?" "Off the reserve?"
Makunga asked "You?" He laughed.

Alex said "Yeah! Me! And my friend! We'll unclog the pipe and bring back your water." Garfield said "Yeah, we'll prove you wrong."

Makunga said "Great! I'd help you pack; but the looks of that hat, I see you're all set!" He he continued laughing.
Alex said "Yeah. Fine. Go ahead. Laugh! Laugh your mane off! I'm gonna prove you wrong."

Makunga said "Maybe you should try a little rain dance."

Alex leaves to find his friend Marty, as Makunga scatting and laughed. Then one of the animals spoke knowing why Makunga never cared to the world of being a bad king.

"Zuba would know what to do."
"Where's Zuba!?" "You don't care about us!"
Hippo said "Zuba should be in charge, not you."
The Animals start clamoring to find Zuba.
Makunga growled "ALL RIGHT, FINE!!! As an added measure, I will consult with Zuba!" Meanwhile, Alex goes off to find Marty.
Alex said "Marty? Hey! Marty! Marty? Marty."
Zebra asked "Where'd you get the fruity hat?"
Alex said "Excuse me! Excuse me! Hi. Is Marty in there?"
Zebra asked "Marty? Anyone seen Marty? Which one of us is Marty?"
Alex said "All right. Well, if you see him, tell him his friends Alex and Garfield came to say goodbye."
"Goodbye? Don't go." "Where are you going Can we come?"
Alex said "No. This is something we have to do this alone."
Zebras said "You can't leave the reserve!" "What are you doing?" "They'll get your hat." Hunters are everywhere!" "Could you leave the hat?"
Alex said "Marty, Look! I know you're in there. Before I go, I got something I want to say. You've been a great friend. You've helped me so often to see the bright side of my problems that I never think of you is having any. I wasn't there for you when you needed me. Just like back at the zoo. What kind of friend does that make me? A pretty lousy friend, I guess. Well I just want you to know that I... You're one in a million."
Zebra said "This is touching." Another Zebra starts sobbing
Zebra said "It is touching."
Alex said "So could you turn around so I can tell you to your face? That's right. Gotcha! I see you in there! Yeah, you. You, right there. Twelfth row, two hundred and third from the left. That's you, Marty. I know it's you. Know what makes you special? These guys are white with black stripes. You're black with white stripes. You're a dreamer, Marty. Always have been. You have great taste in music and horrible taste in friends. Well, not Melman and Gloria, but me."
Marty said "OK, I'm in."
Alex said "No, Marty. You can't come with us."
Marty said "I don't believe you don't have a choice."
Then the three began their journey. Garifeld held onto their backs. "People are out there!" "You're crazy!" "Come back!" "The people will get you!" "Don't lose the hat! Bye, hat!"

Meanwhile Moto Moto was digging. 
Gloria asked "Any water?!"
Moto Moto said "No, just more diamonds and gold."
Gloria said "Okay. Don't give up hope."
Julien said "Listen up! I will help you! There's only one way to get your precious water. I, your beloved King Julien must simply make a small sacrifice to my good friends, the water gods, in the volcano!"
"What does that do?" Julien said "What does that do? Excellent question. My sacrifice goes in the volcano. The friendly gods eat up my sacrifice. "Very nice. Thank you for the sacrifice." "Here, have another sacrifice." "No, I've had enough." " Listen I'm gonna insulted unless you have another." "I don't want another sacrifice okay?!" "Look at you! You look skinny!" "No! I've had enough! Is that clear?!" The gods eat the sacrifice. They are grateful. They give me some water, and then I give it to you."
Gloria asked "What?" "Does it work?"
King Julien! Said "No! I mean, yes. Well, Maurice?"
Maurice said "Ah, it's fifty-fifty."
They all said "We'll do it!"
Julien said "Excellent! Now all I need is someone who would like to go into the volcano and get eaten by gods. Any hands! Hands, anybody! Okay, I need someone, perhaps who has never found love, who could look death straight in the eyeball. A real, genuine hero."
Melman said "I'll do it."
Gloria asked "Melman?"
Julien said "Hurry up! Before we all come to our senses!"

Gloria asked "Melman, what is wrong with you?"
Melman said "I'm dying anyway. If there's a chance it'll get you water, it'll be worth it."

Gloria asked "Are you nuts?"
Melman said "Gloria I just want you to know, back at the zoo, it was never the doctors or prescriptions that kept me going. It was always you. Seeing you every day, that's what kept me going."
Gloria said "Melman! Wait!"
