2 hours later.

Alex was muttering 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."

Melman poked his head in Alex's pen trying to wake him up "Alex. Alex. Alex. Alex. Alex!"

Alex asked "What? What?"

Melman asked "You suck your thumb?"

Alex sighed then asked "What is it, Melman?"

Melman said "Okay, okay." He sighed " You know how I have that bladder infection and I have to get up every two hours? Well, I got up to pee, um, and looked over at Marty's pen, which, you know, I usually don't do. I don't know why, but I did. And this time I looked over and..."

Alex asked "What, Melman? What's going on?"

Melman replied "It's Marty. He's gone."

Alex asked "Gone?!" He hits his head on the roof "Agh! What do you mean, "gone"?"

Melman looked at the hole that penguins were in "How long has he been working on this?? Marty! Marty!!"

Gloria said "He wouldn't fit down there."

Garifeld said "Yeah that's the penguin hole."

Alex tries to look for Marty in the haystacks, noticing that he isn't there "Marty? Marty?! Marty! Marty!!"

Gloria said "This doesn't make any sense. Where would he go?"

Alex said in terror "Connecticut!!"

Gloria said "He wouldn't." Vic said "He would."

Melman said "Oh, no! What are we going to do? We gotta-- we gotta-- I mean, we gotta-- we gotta-- we gotta call somebody!"

Alex gasped as he calls 911 on the phone "Hello?! Get me Missing Animals!! And hurry!" The others looked shocked as Alex continued talking "We've got a lost zebra probably on the way to Connecticut by now, and we're gonna need...!!"

The Police only hears Alex roaring. He took off the headphones confused asked "Hello? Hello?"

Alex said "Wait a second. We can't call the people."

The police man asked "What the...?!"

Alex takes the phone and throws it out "They'll be really mad! It'll get Marty transferred for good. You don't bite the hand that feeds you."

Gloria said "Mm-hmm. I know that's right."

Alex said "We got to go after him."

Melman asked "Go after him?"

Garfield said "Yes."

Alex said "He's not thinking straight. We gotta stop him from making the biggest mistake of his life. He's probably out there lost and cold, confused." He sadly sighed looking out from the pen "Poor little guy.

The Bee Gees's Stayin' Alive is playing while Marty walks through New York. He saw a woman wearing stripes he looked confused then continued walking.

Alex tries to land while he grabs Melman, but he falls down

Gloria bursts through the zoo wall "Melman, come on!"

Melman said "You know, maybe one of us should wait here in case he comes back."

Gloria said "Oh, no. Not now. This is an intervention, Melman. We all got to go."

Odie nodded.

Alex said "What's the fastest way to Grand Central?!"

Melman said "Ooh! You should take Lexington."

Gloria shouted "Melman!!"

Melman said as he began walking out with boxes on his hooves "OK. "We." We should take Lexington."

Alex asked "What about Park?"

Melman said "No, Park goes 2 ways. You can't time the lights."

Mason and phill looked at the hole. Mason said "I heard Tom Wolfe is speaking at Lincoln Center."

Phil asked in sign language "Are we going to throw poo at him?"

Mason replied "Well, of course we're going to throw poo at him."

Marty goes ice skating at the ice rink then falls. Alex, Gloria, and Melman were at the Subway train station

Alex said "I knew we should've taken Park. Are you sure this is the fastest way to Grand Central Station?"

Gloria said "I don't know! That's what Melman said."

Melman said coming out of the bathroom "Hey. Hey, you, guys. That room has some nifty little sinks you can wash up in and look!" He sticks out his tongue with a blue peppermint "Free mints!"

Alex said "-This isn't a field trip, Melman! This is an urgent mission to save Marty from throwing his life away! Now, where's the train?"

Melman said "Ah, Here it comes." They heard the train. They looked one way but Melman heard the horn then turned his head screaming as the train hits his head as the warning horn blares.

Gloria asked "What did Marty say to you? I asked you to talk to him."

Melman was about to get the soap but Vic kicked it away before Melman got himself sick than he needs to be.

Alex said "I did! I did! I don't understand! He said, "Let's go." And I said, "What are you, crazy?" And he says, "I'm ten years old." And he is black with white stripes, and so then we sang and..." as they got on the people began screaming and running away thinking they're getting attacked.

Police Horse was talking to Marty about directions to the station "What you got to do is go straight back down West 42nd.

Marty nodded "Uh-huh."

"It's on your left after Vanderbilt."

Marty said "Okay."

"If you hit the Chrysler Building, you've gone too far."

Marty said "Uh-huh. Thanks a lot, officer." He was about to walk off but he got stopped by the horse. "Hey! Wait for the light! Freak."

Police radio asked "Did you say "zebra"?"

Police Officer said "Yeah, yeah, that's right. A zebra. Right in front of me. Can I shoot it?"

Police radio said "Negative."

Police Officer said "Then I'm going to need some backup."

At the subway, Alex and his gang are on inside it as Alex sees a frightened man reading his newspaper about basketball game.

Alex reads the frightened man's sports paper then roars "Aw! Knicks lost again.

Vic said picking his teeth "What are you going to do?"

Conductor said "Grand Central Station."

Alex asked "Did that just say "Grand Central Station" or "my aunt's constipation"?"

Garfield said "Sounded like 'My aunt's constipation.' Don't know why but it sounded like that to me."

Gloria said "This is it."

Marty said looking at the station "Grand Central Station. It's grand and it's central."

Then the gang began to get out of the train but Melman tried to get out but his head got stuck in the door "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" But he manages to squeeze his head out of the train doors, but he hits the ceiling sign and destroys a blind man's drum set

Alex said as more people screaming and running away "Move aside. We have an emergency here. This is an emergency situation. No need. Hey, hey. Just chill out. It's not that big of an emergency." He got hit by an old lady "Hey! Hey! Would you-? Hey! Aah! Ooh!"

Nana began hitting Alex with her handbag three times, kicks his crotch, and sprayed in his eyes "Upstairs, downstairs! How do you like that?! Yah!"

Alex said "Ooh! Lady, what is wrong with you?!" He gets hit by her bag twice "Ow! Get a grip on yourselves, people!"

Nana notices that lion can talk "You're a bad kitty!"

Announcer said as the Connecticut express was gone "The next train to Connecticut has been..."

Marty said angrily "Dagnabbit! I missed the express!" He calms himself down "Looks like I'm gonna have to take the Stamford local. Aah!"

Suddenly, Alex tackles Marty in victorious
Alex cheered "I got him! I've got him!"

Gloria said as she tried to climb the escalator "He's got him!"

Garifeld said as he ran to Alex "Alright." Vic and odie followed

Melman said "He's got him! He's got him! He's got..." Melman began slipping on the floor.

Nana said "I got something for you!" She hits Melman with her bags

Melman said "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" He crashes into a clock that reads 12:21 AM "I'm OK. I'm OK. I'm OK."

Marty said "Whoa! What are you guys doing here?"

Alex said "Oh! I am so glad we found you."

Gloria said "We were so... worried about you."

Marty said "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine. Look at me. I'm fine."

Alex said "You're fine? Oh, he's fine. Oh, great. Hey, you hear that? Marty's fine. Ah. That's good to know. 'Cause I was just wondering, uh..." henow becomes desperate, disappointed and frustrated "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US, MARTY?!?! I THOUGHT WE WERE YOUR FRIENDS!!?"

Marty said "What's the big deal?! I was coming back in the morning!!!"

Alex said "Don't you ever do this again!! Do you hear me?!"

Gloria asked "Do you hear him?!"

Melman said "with the clock on his head "Guys? We're running out of time.

Gloria said "Oh, Melman, you broke their clock?!"

Vic said "And we can't fix it because we don't have pockets or money."

Alex said "Do you even realize what you've put us through?! Don't you ever do this again! Don't you ever, ever do this again!!"

Grand Central Station goes dark as the Police and Firemen are called

Gloria said "Don't--Come here!" She was grunting and panting as she tries to remove the broken clock off Melman's head until the police came to stop them while Skipper and his agents are reading a newspaper.

Skipper said "We've been ratted out, boys." They raise their arms.

Police said "Hold your fire!" They points guns at the animals as firefighters use their hoses and Nana also came with a drummer.

Skipper said "Cute and cuddly, boys. Cute and cuddly."

Mason gets caught by the police with Phil "If you have any poo, fling it now."

Marty whispered "It's the Man." He said loudly "Good evening, officers!"

Alex said "No. No. Nope. You don't talk now. OK? You're not so good with the "putting the words together and they're coming out good" thing. You keep it "shh"!" He turns to the people "Hey! How you doing? Yeah. You know what? Everything's cool. We just, uh, had a little situation here."The Police push an Animal Control, but he's frightened of Alex, so the Police use their shields to block the sacredly man's path "Little internal situation. Actually, my friend just went a little crazy. It happens to everybody. The city gets to us all. Just went a little cuckoo in the head."

Marty said "Hey! Don't be calling me cuckoo in the head."

Alex said "Just shush! I will handle this. Ooh!"

Nana kicks Alex in between the legs "Oh, I got him!"

Police shouted "Go, go, go!" They pulled Nana away "Right here, please."

Alex said "Oh! Would you give a guy a break? Aw! We're just gonna take my little friend here home and... uh, forget this ever happened. All right? No harm, no foul, right" the policemen and animal control feel shocked "Oh, no, no, no. Hey, it's cool. It's me, Alex the lion. From the zoo. Rrrr!" He roared, scaring the people "Rrrr! What's the matter with them?" He then gets shot in the butt by a purple tranquilizer dart "Ow! Ow..." he started to faint "Wow! Whoo! I feel really, really weird. Hey! Aw. I love you guys." He said in slow motion "I love you so much..."

Sammy Davis Jr.'s The Candy Man starts to play as the screen becomes kaleidoscopic. suddenly, it becomes black, save for many Martys and Melmans. The camera pans into the centermost Melman, then his pattern becomes the New York skyline as fireworks go off. Suddenly, Gloria, who is Lady Liberty flies off her pedestal like Tinkerbelle, and to the viewer, leaving a trail of sparkles that originate from her body. She then waves her torch like a wand, turning the screen into glass stars that fly to the screen.

News Reporter said "Last night's dramatic incident in Grand Central is an example of what animal rights wackos have been shouting for years: The animals clearly don't belong in captivity. Now they are to be sent back to their natural habitat, where they will live their lives in the freedom they so clearly desire."

Alex asked sticking out his hand weakly "Hey. Little help?"

Guard said as the audience runs away "He's awake! He's awake, aah!" They shoot more tranquilizer darts with different colors, the blue one lands in the middle of his palm revealing it to the viewers

Woman shouted "Do something!"

Alex said "Oh, man..."

Alex's The Candy Man dream plays again, but speeded up
