- What'd you wish for?

- Nope. Can't tell you that.

Come on. Tell.

No siree.

I'm telling you, it's bad luck.

You want some bad luck,

I'll blab it out.

But if you want to be safe,

I'll keep my mouth shut.

Would you just tell us?

What could happen?

OK.

I wished I could go to the wild!

The wild?!

I told you it was bad luck.

The wild? Are you nuts?

That is the worst idea

I've ever heard.

It's unsanitary.

The penguins are going.

So why can't I?

The penguins are psychotic.

Come on. Just imagine

going back to nature.

Back to your roots.

Clean air, wide-open spaces!

There's wide-open spaces

in Connecticut.

- Connecticut?

- You got to go over to Grand Central.

Then you got to take

the Metro-North train... north?

So one could take the train?

Just hypothetically.

Come on. What would

Connecticut have to offer us?

- Lyme disease.

- Thank you, Melman.

No, I just want...

There's none of this in the wild.

This is a highly

refined type of food thing

that you do not find in the wild.

Ever thought there might

be more to life than steak, Alex?

He didn't mean that, baby.

No, no, no.

Doesn't it bother you guys

that you don't know anything

about life outside this zoo?

- Nuh-uh. Nope.

- Mm-mm.

Well, I mean, come on.

That's just one subject.

You got a little schmutz

right there on your...

Thanks, guys.

Thanks for the party. It was great.

Really.

What's eating him?

Maybe you should talk to him.

Go over and give him a little pep talk.

Hey, I already gave him

a snow globe. I can't top that.

I can see where this is going.

It is getting late.

I guess I'm going to...

Come on. He's your best friend.

All right, all right. OK.

- Night, Marty.

- Night, Glo.

What a day.

I mean, I tell you, it just doesn't

get any better than this, you know?

Ooh! It just did. Even the star's out.

Not going to find a star

like that in the wild.

Helicopter.

Marty. Buddy. Listen.

Everybody has days when they think the

grass might be greener somewhere else.

Alex.

Look at me.

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.

Marty.

I'm thinking of a song.

Alex. Please. Not now.

Oh, yes. It's a wonderful song.

I think you're familiar with it.

Oh, no. Oh, no, you don't.

No, no, no.

I'm not listening.

Start spreadin' the news

I don't know you.

I'm leaving today

- We are a great big part of it

- He's funny. Who is that?

Come on. You know

you know the words.
