- Marlene: The new neighbors, they took Mort! He's gone!
- [All gasp]
- King Julien: Who's Mort? Oh, my easel. Right. I too am gasping in horror, but on the inside. Because, you know, I need that easel.
- Skipper: Quick, Marlene, describe the enemy terrain.
- Marlene: It's kinda jungly. So that could be, let me think, what, South America? Africa? Asia? Maybe Australia?
- Skipper: You gotta focus, Marlene! You just mentioned four of the eight continents.
- Maurice: Uh, there are only seven continents.
- Skipper: I count Atlantis. Trust me, lemur, if you had my security clearance, you would too.
- Kowalski: All power lines run directly under the lemur habitat, right next to these water pipes. Theoretically...
- Private: Maurice has shut down power and water to all the habitats. He can control everything now!
- Kowalski: Wow. My theory was just about jerry-rigging a giant make-shift hot tub. This is much worse.
- Kowalski: Time to listen to that gut. Even though technically a gut cannot vocalize... I'm doing it again!
- Skipper: What's your sick and twisted game, Maurice?
- Maurice: That's King Maurice, ruler of all I survey! Surrender to my supreme and mighty power!
- Skipper: Well, that's going to be a bit of a problem. You see, I don't know the meaning of the word surrender.
- Kowalski: Surrender is a verb, Skipper. It means to give up or yield... Oh, I see. Here' I'll do it myself.
- [Slaps himself]
- Marlene: I'm just heading over the the reptile house to welcome the new neighbors. No one's seen them yet. I figure they're just shy. You want to come with?
- Skipper: Not without the proper recon, Marlene. We could be dead a thousand times over in that new habitat. Venemous vipers, bloodthirsty...
- Private: Badgers?
- Skipper: Flying piranha!
- Marlene: Okay, yeah. Piranha don't fly.
- Skipper: That's just what Manfredi and Johnson said back in Ecuador. We buried what was left of them with a teaspoon.
- Skipper: Listen up, lemur. Maurice ate those bad nuts. He went off the deep end.
- Kowalski: He's turned the lemur habitat into an armed fortress.
- Private: He's enslaved the entire zoo!
- King Julien: I cannot be believing my ears. Maurice ate my lychee nuts!
- King Julien: I would love to join you in the meeting of the neighbors, but I am far too busy with... Maurice, what am I far too busy with?
- Maurice: Posing for your royal portrait.
- Mort: I'm an easel.
- King Julien: Mort.
- Mort: Yes?
- King Julien: Shut up a little, okay?
- Mort: Okay.
- Maurice: But there has to be somebody for me to advise. There has to be a king!
- Skipper: [Puts Julien's crown on Maurice's head] Ring-a-ding-ding, you're a king.
- Maurice: What? I can't be the king! I'm just the king's right hand man. And when the right hand man becomes the man, then the king is left with no right...
- Skipper: Listen up, lemur. Until Julien comes back, someone has to step up and take charge.
- Maurice: But I...
- Skipper: It's either you or Sad-eyes.
- [Points at Mort, who is crying and swaying until he falls over]
- Maurice: All right. But Julien will always be our one and only king.
- Private: But if you're all cured, why are you still in the hospital?
- King Julien: Because this vibrating bed is awesome!
- King Julien: What is Mort doing in the royal portrait? Paint him out now before my eyes smell him forever!
