• Private : Skipper, something's wrong with the sun.

  Skipper : He finally did it!

  Private : Who did what?

  Skipper : My mad dolphin nemesis, Dr. Blowhole! He blew out the sun!

  Kowalski : Actually, according to my calculations, it is the rare cosmic event known as a solar eclipse.

  Rico : Huh?

  Skipper : Are you sure it's not the crazed handiwork of my marine mammal foe?

  Kowalski : It's totally natural. The moon is between the sun and the Earth... Ooh, it's a total eclipse! Wow! Are you as totally stoked about this as I am?

• Skipper : Kowalski, options.

  Kowalski : We'll need a diversion. I suggest releasing the spider monkeys. Bedlam is their middle name.

  Skipper : They never disappoint.

  Kowalski : Amid the chaos, we escape through the south entrance.

  Skipper : Good. And then?

  Kowalski : Then, we get jobs as holiday store displays. When we've earned enough money, we build a new secret lair, one with laser beams.

  Private : Ooh, laser beams!

• King Julien : You, you are the nicest guy around here. Make me be nice! I command you!

  Private : That wasn't very nice.

  King Julien : And you are failing already!

• Kowalski : The point is, fear of medical professionals is completely unwarranted. Yes, the benefits to one's health and personal well being are much too important...

  Alice : Looks like you penguins are due for a visit to the dentist.

  Kowalski : The dentist? Aaaaah!

  [Runs away] 

  Private : But we don't have teeth.

• Skipper : That's it! No more mister nice guy.

  Private : For you or Julien?

  Skipper : Whatever works.

• Private : I don't mean to be cheeky, but why'd the doctor have to give the shots in the bum?

  Kowalski : Our fleshy buttocks make ideal distribution points for injected medicines. Ugh! Unfortunately.

• Kowalski : Skipper, I have what you're looking for.

  Skipper : Outstanding! So when's the next big eclipse?

  Kowalski : From today, 27 years, in Brazil.

  Private : Ooh, I've always wanted to go to Carnaval.

• Private : Skipper, what are you doing here?

  Skipper : Saving you from saving me.

  Private : But really, I don't mind having another shot. I can always... turn the other cheek. He-he!

  Skipper : You'll mind if it makes you sick. Or worse.

  Private : How worse?

  Skipper : You know, the chimps didn't say. I assumed you'll grow a second head or something.

  Private : I don't want a second head!

  Skipper : Then hurry, man! The doc will be here any second.

  [Skipper tosses Private towards the window, but misses and he hits the wall; Private then climbs up to the window and turns to Skipper] 

  Private : You know, Skipper, none of us think any less of you for being afraid.

  Skipper : Well, I do. That fear almost hurt a friend. Now get out of here, soldier.

• Private : I'm sorry, Skipper.

  Skipper : Don't be sorry, Private. Be alert. You never know when our enemies will strike...

  [Suddenly, cages drop on the penguins] 

  Skipper : What the ham steak?

  Private : Um, Skipper, is this still part of the drill?

• Kowalski : There is no reason to fear the doctor.

  Private : Except for his needle, and its slow burn of pain that...

  [Kowalski glares at Private] 

  Private : ... that's not as bad as it seems.
