Zuba was pouting on a rock.

Florrie asked "You going to mope around like this all day?"
Zuba said "Hmph."
Florrie said "Don't "hmph" me. Listen, Zuba. A miracle happened. Our son has come back to us. How come that is not good enough for you?"
Zuba asked "What are you saying, woman?"
Florrie said "We lost him once, Zuba. Let's not lose him again."
Makunga pretended to be panting "Zuba! Zuba!"
Zuba said "Get out of here!"
Florrie asked "What do you want, Makunga?"

Makunga said "It's awful. The watering hole is dried up."
Zuba said "DRIED UP?!" He growled "That's impossible!!"
Makunga said "There's nothing left!"
Zuba said "Well! You're alpha lion, Makunga. What are you gonna do about it?"
Makunga said "Your son, Alakay, he said he could fix it. He's gone upriver."
Zuba said "Off The Reserve?!"
Florrie said "No!"
Makunga said "Even with his friend. I tried to stop him! I told him it was suicide, but he was determined to prove himself to you!"
Zuba said "You stay here, in case he comes back! I'll get Vic!" He then ran off.
Makunga said "Hurry, Zuba! I'm so parched." He coughed

In the woods, Alex and Marty go to look for the clog.
Marty asked "Is this place starting to freak you out?"
Alex replied "We'll slip in, find the problem. Hunters will never know we were here."

Marty asked "Why are we doing this?"
Alex replied "Look Marty, maybe my dad will think I'm... I just want to show him I'm a real lion."
Marty asked "As opposed to a chocolate lion."
Alex said "Shh. I know this may sound hard to believe; but apparently, lions don't dance."
Marty and Garfield asked shocked "WHAT?!?"
Alex shushed them "As far as my dad is concerned."

Marty said "As far as people are concerned, you're a huge hit."

Garifeld said "Yeah people love you."
Alex said "That was New York. This is Africa... it's much tougher crowd. Marty! Marty, this is it! This is the clog! Come on."

They climbed up the dam.
Marty said "Well, there's the water."
Marty drinks some of the water. While Marty is drinking the water, Alex notices Nana
Alex said "Marty, stay down. Look at that."
Nana said "Knit one, purl two."
Alex said "It's her."
"Is this right?"
Nana said "Very good."
"Nana, slow down."
Nana said "You're a little tangled, aren't you? No, don't pull. I'll do it."

The three got down scared.
Alex said "We need dynamite. Got any dynamite?"
Marty said loudly "Oh, snap! I just used my last stick this morning!"
Alex tells to quiet down, but an arrow hits the fruit hat of shame.
Marty shouted "Savages!"
Alex said "Evasive maneuvers!"
Marty shouted "Serpentine, serpentine!"
Alex said "Squiggly squid maneuver!"
Marty said "Zag, zig-zag, zig ziggy zag!"
Alex said "No, no! Squiggly squid!"
Marty said "Etch A Sketch! Etch A Sketch! Etch A Sketch!"
Alex said "That's too complex! Octopus, octopus!"
Garfield said "Those are way too confusing! Just run!"

Then Alex and Garfield got caught in a snare trap.
Marty shouted "Alex! Garfield."
Alex shouted "Run, Marty!"
Marty said "Come on, I can't leave you here!"
Alex said "Go get help! Squiggly squid maneuver! Go! Go! Squiggly squid!"
Marty screamed "ETCH A SKETCH!!! ETCH A SKETCH!!!"

The camera changes to the volcano where Melman is about to go into the lava, but he is looking to the deep of the volcano "OK. OK, OK, OK. OK, here we go. OK, OK. Here we go! Here we go!"
Joe asked "What's all the hoopla about?"
Giraffe asked "Joe?"
Giraffe 2 said "Joe the Witch Doctor? We thought you were dead!"
Joe said "So did I. Then I realized I'm covered in brown spots."
Giraffe said "So, Melman's not dying!" He suddenly realizing the truth "Melman's not dying!"
"Oh, no!"
Gloria said "Excuse me! Melman!! Move! Don't do this! Julien, stop this! This is crazy!"
King Julien said "Oh, suddenly throwing a giraffe into a volcano to make water is crazy!"
Gloria said "Yes!" She then got close to him "Please, Melman! STOOOP!!!!"
Melman asked "Gloria?"
Gloria said "You can't do this! "
Melman asked "Why not?"
Gloria said "Because...Oh!"
But as she could finish, she trips which causes cracks to come out, Melman is shocked at what he's seeing, he runs up, but begins to fall. Gloria stops him from falling
Gloria said "You can't do this, Melman."
Melman said "First of all, that hurts. Second of all, I've only got 18 hours to live, anyway."
Gloria said "Melman, I gotta know...did you really mean those things you said about me?"
Melman said "Of course I did."
Gloria said "That's crazy."
Melman asked "It is?"
Gloria said "It's crazy to think I had to go halfway around the world... to find out that the perfect guy for me lived right next door."

Melman said "Then I guess it's you and me, neighbor. You and me for the next 18 hours."
Gloria said "I'll take whatever you got."
Julien said "Maurice, what just happened?! "
Maurice said "I believe the fat lady has sung."

As Melman and Gloria enjoyed their romance, Marty showed up to warn them about Alex and Garfield.
Marty said "Hey! What's going on here?"
Gloria said "Marty!"
Marty said "Hey. Hey. Listen up. Alex and Garfield are in big trouble! We got to get upriver fast!"
Melman asked "What about the plane?"
Marty said "Perfect! Come on!

Meanwhile, the chimps made are having an argument with protest
Mason said "The plane won't be fixed until the suits meet our demands. Now, about maternity leave."
Skipper asked "Maternity leave? You're all males."
Marty said "Look! We need that plane for a rescue mission."
Skipper said "Well, there's nothing I can do until we bust up this union."
Gloria slammed her hand on the table "I'm gonna get the bustin' up all of you if you don't get this plane going!"
Skipper said "Can't you see these commies have my hands tied here? No maternity leave!"
Mason said "Maybe a certain someone wouldn't want these blowing around on the savanna?" He shows a bunch of pictures of Skipper and Lola the Doll "Hmm?"
Skipper said "All right. You get your maternity leave."
The whistle blows
Marty said "Finally!"

Back in the woods, the hunters have tied up Alex and Garfieldand are gonna kill him and eat him as their dinner
Alex asked "Where we headed? What's going on? Where are we going? Oh, no! Please! No, you're not gonna put me there! No, no, no! This is wrong."
Garfield said "Now I feel bad for kabobs."

Nana said "You see? You are survivors. Now, how about a nice lion casserole?"
Tour Guide said "You can't eat a lion."
Nana said "Eh. Don't worry, it tastes like chicken."
Alex said "No, no, no. Don't listen to her. She's out of her mind, people! Hey! Hey! I'm from New York City too! It's me, Alex the lion! From Central Park!"

Suddenly, the hunters hear a roaring. It revealed to be Zuba and Vic.
Alex shouted "Dad!"
Zuba said "What were you thinking, son?! You got no business being out here!! This is it. I want you to stay behind me."
Alex said "No, Dad. They're New Yorkers. They're just rude and frightened people."
Zuba said "Stay back!" He snarled
Nana asked "You'd let your dinner get away?"

Vic said "I'm not letting you go again."

They heard a gun and Alex got an idea. And Garfield got in on it. Doing they're signature moves.

Zuba asked "What are you doing, son? "
Alex said "The only thing we know how to do."
Tour Guide asked "Huh?"

They began dancing.
"What the heck?"
"Hey! I know those moves. Alex? And Garfield?"
♪Check it, check it out, I'm 'bout to do my thing♪
The hunters begin to notice that it's Alex the Lion and Garfield!

"It's Alex the lion! And Garfield!" "From Central Park!"
"It is them!" "Only one lion and one cat can move like that!"
"He's beautiful."
Zuba said "I can't believe it." Vic said "You better believe it."
"How does he do that?!"

The hunters chant Alex's name. Then the dads got into it.
Alex asked "Dad, what are you doing?" Zina said "We're dancing with our sons! I think."

Alex said "Don't think, Dad. Feel! Butterfly!" Zuba said "I'm feeling it! I'm feeling it!"

They all shouted "ROAR!!!!!"

Everyone is cheering for the cats and they drop the weapons.
Nana said "Ohh. That was beautiful. Now let's eat!" Nana pulled out the shotgun
Alex shouted "Dad, look out!"

Nana shot the gun. But, it suddenly brought a bucket, which was connected to a plane.
Zuba asked "What the...?"
Marty said "Alex! Garfield Get in!" They all got in.
Garfield said "She's got a gun! Let's get out while we can!"
Marty asked "What?!"

Garfield said "She's got a gun! Let's get out while we can! Pass it on!" The monkeys passed it on.
Mason said "He said that let's have some fun and take out the dam, Basset hound!"
Marty said "Skipper! Alex wants to take out the dam!"
Skipper said "All right! But it's their funeral."
Marty asked "What?!"
Skipper said "Hard to port!"
Gloria said "Aye-aye, Skippy!"
Melman said "Bring it on! Bring it on! Whoo!"

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Nana said "Come back! That's my dinner!"
Skipper said "Kowalski, full throttle. Music!"
Private puts the music of Copacabana by Barry Manilow "Ooh! I like this song."

Kowalski said "It never gets old."
Skipper said "It does have a catchy tune. Come about! Bring her in low! Hold onto your skirts! It's dam-busting time!"
Gloria said "Whoo! Hold on tight, baby! Here we go!"
Alex said "Tell them "No! Pull up! They'll kill us! There's got to be another way!" Pass it on!" The monkeys then passed it on.
Mason said "They say no pull up, kill us. there is no other way, Basset hound!"
Marty asked "Are you sure?"
Skipper said "Men, there is no sacrifice greater than someone else's." Nana shoots Lola's head then Nana got ready. "No! MEDIC!!!! Ramming speed!!"

The four began screaming.
Nana said "Bring it on!
Marty screams as Gloria and Melman whooping and the four still screaming.
Nana said "Bad kitties."
And the dam is now crushed and the water now has freedom to save the Circle of Life!
At the volcano
Julien said "I don't know why the sacrifice didn't work. The science seemed so solid. I'd jump right in that volcano if I wasn't so good at whistling." He blew raspberries again.
Mort said "Oh! It's you! I found you!"
King Julien asked "Mort??"
Mort laughing then screams after he sees the shark "Bad fishy!"
Julien and Maurice screamed "AHHHH!!!"

The shark falls into the lava
Maurice said "Whoa. I wonder if the gods like seafood."
Julien said "Let's find out." They climbed out then they saw the river "Look, Maurice."
Maurice said "That was quick."
Julien said "I did it! I did it! I did it!" The lava spewed behind him "OK, you did it!"
Mort cheered "Oh, yes!!!!"

The animals were trying to quench their thirst then they saw the water. "Look!"
The Animals cheered "It's Alakay! It's Zuba! You did it! Alakay, Zuba, you did it!"
Florrie cheered "Zuba! Alakay! You're back! I'm so glad you're safe!"
Makunga said "Out of my way. Well, well, well, well, well. You know, Zuba, if I remember correctly, you quit the pride. And you were kicked out. So don't think for an instant that this changes anything."
Garifeld said "You're right. In fact, we humbly present you with this token of appreciation. It's a man bag. Very popular where we come from."
Makunga said grabbing it "I don't know what to say."
Alex said "You can still be tough and carry your stuff."
Makunga said "My! Does the strap adjust? Yes. I think this will go very nicely for me when I go out hiking. But I'm afraid you're still banished." He put it on.
Alex said "We figured you'd say that."
Zuba and Vic pulls down the bucket, revealing that Nana was inside it
Nana said "My handbag! You bad kitty!"

Nana kicks Makunga's nuts, steps on his foot, uses her ruler to hit his hand and wet willies his left ear.
Makunga said "No, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
And Nana spanks Makunga's butt
Alex said "Ow!" Garfield said "Oooh!
And Nana takes Makunga back to her camp so that she and her hunters can cook him alive.
Zuba said picked up the staff and held it out to Alex "You deserve this, son. Welcome to the pride."
Alex said "Thanks, Dad. But this belongs to you."
Vic said "No! No, Alex. To us! My son! The King of New York!"
Florrie cheered "That's my baby!"

The scene cuts to the wedding day where Skipper and his doll girlfriend get married
Zuba said "Love transcends all differences. We are gathered here today to celebrate such a love. Do you take each other, for better or for worse?"
Skipper said "For better, please."
Alex said "What a beautiful, weird couple!"
Melman said "That's not going to last."
Private asked "Can I kiss the bride?"
Skipper replied "No! Music!"

More than a Feeling by Boston plays again.
Skipper said "Struts."
Kowalski said "Check."
Skipper said "Flaps!"
Kowalski said "Check."
Skipper said "Diamonds and gold."
Kowalski said "Check."
Florrie said "Bye-bye!"
Zuba said "We'll miss you!"
Florrie said "See you later!"
Skipper said "We'll be back after the honeymoon in Monte Carlo, or whenever the gold runs out."

Zuba said "Take care yourself!"
Florrie said "Come back soon!"
Alex said "You know Mom, let them take their time. New York isn't going anywhere, right, guys?"
Marty said "Yeah! You're right about that!"
Melman said "As long as I'm with her..and you two, I don't care where we are. She has the most amazing laugh."

The lot looked scared and confused.
Marty said "Love has no boundaries!" Odie nodded.
Alex said "Well, looks like you're stuck with us for a while. Dad? What's wrong? I just thought we could hang out a bit and..."

Zuba makes faces of angry and happy, then he laughs
Marty said "Hey!"
Alex said "You got me!" Zuba said "I got you, son!" He began scatting.
Alex said "You got me with..You did my thing. You brought it back around on me. I love it."
Zuba scatted "I got you, son!"
Alex said "The old man's not too bad, eh, Marty?"
Marty asked "Marty? Who's Marty?"
Alex said "Come on!"
Marty said "I don't know no Marty. No call me Marty."
Alex said "You can't fool me." Marty said "I don't see no Marty. Ain't no Marty here."
Alex said "Marty! I can look into your eyes, and I know it's you."
Julien said "Hey! Shake the hot things!" "WHOO!!!" "Shake the hot things!" "WHOO!!!" "Shake 'em! Shake 'em! Shake 'em!

Will.I.Am's "I Like to Move it" plays in the end credits
