OK. Wind her up, boys!
lt's Monte Carlo or bust.
- Struts.
- Check.
- Flaps.
- Check.
- Diamonds and gold.
- Check.
We'll be back from our gambling spree
in a couple weeks.
- Bye!
- Or whenever the gold runs out.
- Buh-bye!
- Good-bye.
All right! We'll be waiting for you!
Just kidding!
We're never coming back!
Sorry! What was that?
lnitiate warp drive.
Did theyjust say
they were never coming back?
Guys?
Marty?
Oh, goody, you're here!
Why don't you just chew on this?
l'm hungry.
l'm just messing with you.
l lost all feeling
in this thing years ago.
Melman? Why do you look like that?
Look who's talking.
Gloria? Why are you guys so... elderly?
Now, when was the last time
you looked in the mirror?
What?
No!
Wake up! Wake up, Ally-Al!
- Wake up!
- Marty!
Marty, it was horrible.
That same nightmare again, huh?
We were stuck here in Africa,
and we were all super-old and wrinkly...
Well, l aged well,
but the rest of you looked terrible!
Relax, Alex.
'Cause l got a surprise for you!
ls it the penguins?
Have they come to take us home?
Nope. But it's the next best thing.
Another day bites the dust.
Come on, now!
Watch it. Watch yourself. Small divots!
Sorry, little incline there.
Back up this hill.
A low-hanging branch,
then just over this bluff and voil!
Happy birthday, pal!
Whoa.
Wow! New York City.
Surprise!
Gloria! You're the Statue of Liberty!
Bring me your huddled masses, baby!
And, Melman, you're the Brooklyn Bridge!
Actually, l'm the Triboro Bridge.
Wow! You guys made this?
Yeah. From memory!
From crazy, obsessive memory.
Hey! Fifth Avenue... with no traffic!
There's Times Square, with its
modern-day corporate lack of character.
Nine Duane Reades on the same street!
And the zoo.
Wow, our home.
Look! There's a little me.
And little all of us-es!
Alex! Alex! Alex!
Oh, no!
You guys.
You've both made and ruined my day.
Make a wish, sweetheart.
Your wish has come true!
Oh, yay!
My tummy is speaking to me!
Oh, gross!
l wouldn't eat that side of the cake
if l were you.
Alex, what was your wish?
l wished we could go home.
l mean, don't get me wrong.
l love this.
But it's not the real thing.
That's because it's a mud model, Alex.
lt's not actually New York.
l hope that was clear.
What are we doing?
Here we are relying on the penguins
to come back for us.
But... we should just go to Monte Carlo
and get them.
How do a lion, a zebra, a giraffe and
a hippo walk into a casino in Monte Carlo?
l don't know. Ask the rabbi!
- Hey, l'm serious.
- Come on!
We can do it!
We can do anything! lt's us!
We're us!
Yeah, that's right.
We've gone halfway around the world!
Compared with that, Monte Carlo's
just a hop, skip and a swim away!
Yeah.
To home.
- Home!
- Home.
- Home.
- Cheeseburger.
Tell you what, bet those penguins
will be glad to see us.
Yeah, they're probably
bored out of their minds!
You pillow fight
like a bunch of little girls!
Chimichanga! These pillows
are filled with baby birds!
What?
There it is. The casino!
What?
l said, "Perfect.
That's where we'll find the penguins."
What?
Come on, guys.
Operation Penguin Extraction
does not include levity.
We can't draw attention to ourselves.
We're invisible!
l'm talking really, really quiet.
Everybody dance now!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Everybody dance now!
Yeah!
OK. Phase One:
We break into the casino,
grab the penguins,
and get them
to take us back to New York
in the Monkey-Powered Super Plane!
Check.
Phase Two:
We chew out the penguins
for abandoning us in Africa.
