Penguins of Madagascar Page #2

always feeling the hot breath

of Johnny Law on our necks?

No! It means, as elite units go,

we're the elitest of the elite.

Top shelf in the bureau.

The penultimate, plus one.

Where'd Private go?

Oh, there he is. D-3.

- Oh, Private. How much is he?

- He's $3.50, sir.

Well, that's outrageous.

Even for Private.

Sir, the machine is alive!

I don't think I like your attitude,

vending machine.

Or your prices! Release them!

What the...?

- Kowalski, analysis.

- All evidence indicates...

I ate too many Cheezy Dibbles.

We're behind enemy lines

and incredibly thirsty.

Rico, bust us out

of this delicious prison.

Nice work, Rico.

You are a meaningful

and valued member of this team.

Private, quit lollygagging.

And regular gagging.

Dark and ominous... Two of my least

favorite traits in a room.

- Oh, look! A button.

- Private, don't!

- Now, what have I told you about...

- Sorry, what?

It looks like some sort of giant laser

sent to kill us all, sir.

- Another one.

- No!

- Wha...?

- Naughty, naughty.

Pretty birds belong in their cages.

Now, that's just hurtful.

And I was so happy to see you again.

Skipper, Kowalski, Rico...

and sweet little Private. Boop!

Who are you?

The humans know me

as Dr. Octavius Brine.

Renowned geneticist, cheese enthusiast,

and frequent donor to NPR pledge drives.

But you know me by a different,

much older name.

A name perhaps you'd hoped

you'd never hear again.

A phantom! A shadow of a former life!

I... am...

Dave!

- Kowalski?

- Sorry, sir, no clue.

Dave!

- Dave!

- Dave!

- Dave?

- Dave!

- Dave.

- Dave!

Sorry.

Wait. Wait. I... I live this way.

- Go ahead, Dan, continue.

- You seriously don't remember me?

Dave! Dave! Right! Oh, yeah, long time.

How's the wife?

I've never been married.

You may not remember me,

but I could never forget you.

Let's shake up some old memories.

New York City.

The Central Park Zoo.

Life was good.

Roomy tank, great location,

monkey-house views.

And, of course...

my adoring legion of fans.

- Cool.

- Dave!

The octopus of a thousand tricks.

- Awesome!

- I was the total package.

- Wow.

- Hey, kids!

You got to see this. Get up here quick!

- Come on, kids. Come on...

- And then you arrived.

Oh, they're so adorable!

Just smile and wave, boys.

Smile and wave.

- And took everything from me.

- They're so cute!

- They're so adorable.

- Have you ever seen anything cuter?

Four adorable baby penguins.

With you around, no one wanted

an old octopus anymore.

"Out you go, Dave."

And so it went, over and over,

- at zoo after aquarium.

- Dad, look!

I can't see the penguins, man!

Adorable penguins stole the show.

While I was shunned.
