Dialogue

[Ryan had accidentally caused a stampede at a curling game. Samson angrily glares at him]
Ryan: [nervously] I told you I'd come to the game. [chuckles]
Samson: [enraged] You think this is funny? You just endangered everyone in the zoo!
Ryan: I'm sorry.
Samson: For what? Chasing the Gazelles or costing us the game? All you do is sit up in your tree and sulk!
Ryan: If you would just…
Samson: I mean, what is it? What's the problem? Is all of this because you can't roar?
[Everyone gasps, Ryan looks hurt. Samson's eyes widen in worry about what he angrily said to him.]
Samson: Ryan, I didn't mean that.
Ryan: You know what I'm doing when I'm sulking up in my tree? I'm thinking how great it would be if Samson the Wild wasn't my father.
Samson: Huh? Ryan, I… I didn't…
Ryan: 'Cause it would make being Ryan the Lame a whole lot easier. [angrily runs off]
Samson: Ryan, I'm sorry. Ryan! Please don't… leave.
Larry: [shows up] Bye, Ryan! Thanks for coming to the game. And you were worried he wouldn't show up.
Bridget: Benny, please tell me we're not in a dangerous jungle with an 8-inch squirrel protecting us.
Benny: Actually, I'm 9 inches. But other than that, yes.
Bridget: So that means...
Nigel: We are going to die! [screaming]
[Larry, Bridget and Nigel begin freaking out and running around in circles.]
[talking about a sewer system]
Larry: Eww! What is this stinky place?
Samson: It, uh…
Nigel: Oi!
Samson: …appears to be a human bathing area.
Nigel: You mean humans don't lick themselves clean? Disgusting!
Bridget: Oh, they're hopeless. It is hard to believe they are the top of the food chain.
Nigel: I can't imagine beginning the day without licking myself.
Samson: Think. What did Benny say? Couple of lefts, couple of rights… [sighs] Bridget, can you see the green lady?
Bridget: I'm looking, I'm looking, but I can't see over anything for a change.
Nigel: How far are you away? You in a different continent? Ow! Is that you, Larry?
Larry: Up here, Nige.
Nigel: You're a very furry snake.
Samson: Guys, shh. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves.
Nigel: I'm gonna throw up! I'm gonna throw up! I'm gonna throw up!
Bridget: Not to nitpick, but shouldn't you be tearing them to shreds?
Samson: All part of the plan. This maneuver's known as the Serengeti Slip. Page ten of the Predator's Playbook.
Larry: Are we in the right place?
Nigel: Any place without two hilarious alligators seems a move in the right direction.
Bridget: Sam! Do you see anything up there?
Samson: I sure do.
[seeing the Statue of Liberty]
Bridget: Well, well, well. There she is, like Hamir said.
Nigel: And it's sunrise, which means we're a tad short on time.
Samson: Guys, look. We know the box Ryan's in is green. It's gotta be around here somewhere, so I need you to…
Larry: Yeah. So we should shout out if we see a box that looks exactly like the ones over there.
Benny: Hey, watch where you goin', you, big, big...!
[the music begins Lovin' You by Minnie Riperton playing]
Benny: Bridget.
Bridget: Don't stare at my spots, Benny. My eyes are up here.
[the music stops when Benny hears a crash]
Blag: [to Kazar] And for the record, I've always hated your choreography. It's so... '80s.
Samson: Who are you?
Camo: Our names aren't important.
Cloak: I'm Cloak, he's Camo. We're covert agents. [gets hit by Camo] Ow!
Nigel: Here I come! Hey! [jumps off tree branch and lands on a metal fence] Who put that bar there?
Flamingos: Did too! Did not! Did too! Did not!
Fergus: Out of my way, you bum! There's that moth-eaten koala!
Nigel: I've told you flamingos a hundred times, walk.
Fergus: How about an autograph?!
Nigel: Don't…
Flamingo: [kicks Nigel up a tree branch and falls] Birds! Find the string on his back! [flamingos attack Nigel] So you're havin' a really nice day!
Samson: Guys!
Fergus: Huh?
Samson: Off my co-captain, now.
Fergus: Eh, sorry, Samson. [grunts]
Nigel: OW! That didn't hurt.
Ryan: I can't even roar. How would you even know I'm there?
Samson: So you really think it dropped an octave?
Benny: Absolutely. Hmph. What the heck is an octave?
Samson: [sighs]
Ryan: I heard that.
Samson: Mm… rabbit.
Benny: Mm. Cholesterol. I'll stick with the nuts. [grunts]
Samson: I don't know what his problem is, Benny. He's 11, but he's still roaring at a nine-year-old level.
Benny: Little help here, Sammy? You know what? Maybe you're setting the bar too high, um, with all those stories about Samson the Wild.
Samson: Hey, he's always loved those stories! They inspire him.
Benny: OK, OK. I'm not gonna argue with someone who can use my tail as dental floss. Oh, Sammy, you got something right there.
Samson: Where?
Benny: No, no, other side.
Samson: Here?
Benny: Oh, uh… [stammering]
Samson: Oh, sorry, Benny.
Benny: You got it.
Bridget: Hey! I am not in the mood for a game of footsie or hoofsie or pawsie or…
Nigel: That wasn't my paw. It was this! [turns on Statue of Liberty torch] I didn't steal it. I borrowed it. It'll light the way to Ryan.
Samson: Those boxes are bad news. Stay away.
Ryan: But, Dad…
Samson: Listen, I know you're frustrated, but a lion finds his roar…
Both: Here.
Ryan: I'm… I'm so tired of hearing that, Dad!
Woman: [screaming] It's a rat! Get that rat off my baby!
Benny: A rat? [spinning in the air holding a candy necklace] Hello!
Baby: Silly, silly rat.
Benny: [shudders] Rats do not got bling like this, lady.
Woman: You little...! [smacks Benny with her purse]
Benny: Lastly, that is the ugliest baby I've ever seen!
Samson: Benny, stealing candy from a baby?
Benny: Stealing is such a strong word. I prefer "liberating".
Samson: Uh-huh.
Larry: Hey, you think it has anything to do with that? [his head points at the volcano]
Bridget: All right, hang on a second. Either I'm starving or Larry is making sense.
[repeated line]
Talking Koala Bear Doll: I'm so cuddly, I like you.
Benny: [after being confronted by a pack of wildebeest] Don't panic, I'm in charge here.
Bridget: That's why we're panicking!
Benny: I say we fan out in circles.
Bridget: What are we, peacocks? We don't fan, we run. Run for your lives, everybody!
Larry: Guys, I've got an idea! Why don't we ask them? [points at the wildebeests]
Wildebeest: I'll take the one with the funny knees.
Benny: The funny knee...? Yaah!
Bridget: Benny, no! [he charges, but the wildebeest knocks him out] Benny?
Wildebeest: Get them! [Bridget and Larry scream]
[first lines]
Samson: So there I was, face to face with the biggest, meanest leopard on this side of the Serengeti, and...
Ryan: You roared so loud, his spots flew clean off. Dad, I've heard this like a billion times.
Samson: Uh, do you know the one where I made the laughing hyenas...
Ryan: Cry? Yep.
Samson: The croc attack?
Ryan: Dad.
Samson: Okay, think.
Ryan: Yeah, you do that.
Samson: All right, Mr. Smart Guy. Here's one I know you haven't heard. It all started in the little place I like to call... The Wild.
Scab and Scraw: [finding Ryan on a tree branch] Ooh, a lion cub.
Scab: We must tell Kazar.
Scraw: It's my turn to tell him!
Scab: You got to tell him last time!
Scraw: No, I didn't!
Scab: Oh, yes, you did! [squawks]
[cut to Benny, with the dung beetles]
Benny: Mm, what? Wha... wha...? Whoa. Wait! What, what? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Hey, hey, hey! Ow, ow, ow! Hey! Ow! Get off me! [to the dung beetles] What is goin' on here?!
Dung Beetle 1: Stinky does not speak.
Dung Beetle 2: It rolls like a little ball.
Benny: Wait, wait. You guys think I'm a...?
Dung Beetle 1: [to Benny] Achtung, Stinky!
Dung Beetle 2: Less talk, more roll.
Dung Beetle 1: Ja.
All: Roll! Roll!
Benny: What the...? [grunting] Hey!
Dung Beetle 1: Rolling the dung is good for tight buns! [chuckling, rolling away]
Benny: I'll give you something to roll about! [spins around to the ground, shuddering] It's a good thing Bridget didn't see that!
[Benny walks up to Hamir]
Benny: Hamir! Hamir! [smacking Hamir] Get a grip on yourself!
Hamir: [screams] Oh, Benny, I am needing until Friday before I pay you back.
Benny: No, no, it's Ryan. He's in one of those green boxes, and they took him away in a truck! We got to find him.
Hamir: That is not good, not good at all. [pigeons are dancing behind him trying to tell him something] Ah! I know, I know! I am telling him, you crazy pigeons! [sighs]
Kazar: Step, kick, pivot, kick, walk, walk, walk! Aaaahhh! Why do we even bother rehearsing? [snorts at Blag] Mmmmm. Mmm-mm. A good chorus line is so hard to put together.
Blag: Kazar, I think you'll be very pleased with what I brought you.
Kazar: What's this? Where's the other lion?
Blag: Right. Well, I was gonna tell you. There was this cliff and, uh– [Kazar huffs angrily at Blag] Why are you looking at me like that?
Kazar: That's twice you've been out of step today, Blag! [As Kazar speaks, Blag slips off the edge, but holds on] You klutz. You know we can't ascend to the top of the food chain, until we eat a lion! Well, at least there'll be enough for my ascension.
Blag: What about the rest of us?
Kazar: Step-kick, pivot-kick! [Kazar kicks Blag's face, then Blag falls down in front of Ryan, Bridget, and Larry] Ha-ha!
Blag: [twists his hoof] Ouch! I twisted a hoof!
Kazar: You work, and you work. Then they break your heart.
Blag: [off-screen] There goes my career!
Kazar: Prepare the sacrifices!
Nigel: If you don't give us ice creams pretty quick, you're gonna walk the plank, sir.
Samson: Girls, put him down.
Nigel: I am not a doll!
Monkey 1: Cushy Tushy!
Nigel: Ah! Leave my bum alone!
Benny: Nigel, get your paws off my girlfriend!
Bridget: Benny, I am not your girlfriend!
Stan: You done running your mouth yet, Carmine? Huh, are you? Huh, huh, huh? [turns to Samson and his friends] I apologize, he never got over being flushed down the toilet. [hits Carmine twice again] Huh?
Carmine: Yeah.
Nigel: Ooh. Does anyone have any eucalyptus wipes?
Bridget: We cannot lose to flightless birds!
Samson: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No one is losing anything around here, as long as we stay focused. By the way, has anyone seen Ryan?
Larry: Oh, oh, I know. Maybe he's sulking 'cause he lives in his father's shadow and he roars like a school girl.
Samson: Thanks, Lav.
Larry: You betcha.
Samson: Hey! Hey, Ryan. Listen, I'm heading down to the game. I'm gonna see you there, right? Come on, Ryan, we need you. You're our biggest fan.
Rhino: Yo, Samson! Ha, I'm your number one fan, man! Whoo!
Samson: Thanks, man! Right back at ya!
Ryan: You were saying, Dad?
Samson: Ryan, listen. About this afternoon, I was just trying...
Ryan: Dad, fine. I'll go to your game, all right?
Samson: OK. I'll, uh... see you there, then.
Hyrax: Aaahh! Doesn't anyone ever knock anymore?
Samson: Hey, where's my son? Did he come through here?
Hyrax: Yeah, now that I think about it, he did come through here. [turns to toilet] Hello? Come out of there, baby lion, your dad's here! Well, what do you know, it's a whole pride of lions down here!
Samson: Hold on, Larry, do that again!
Larry: Do what?
Samson: Whatever you just did, but the opposite!
Larry: But I don't know my opposites!
Samson: No, Larry, like this!
Bridget: Sam!
Samson: I improvised. Now jump!
Bridget: Down there?
Samson: Yes!
Bridget: Whoa!
Nigel: Waaah!
Samson: We're leaving, Larry! Whoa!
Larry: Whoa-ah. Ugh! Uh-oh.
