- Alex the Lion: What is it, Melman?
- Melman the Giraffe: Okay, okay. Oh. You know how I have that bladder infection and I have to get up every two hours? I got up to pee and looked over at Marty's pen, which I usually don't do. I don't know why, but I did. And...
- Alex the Lion: What, Melman? What's going on?
- Melman the Giraffe: It's Marty. He's gone.
- Alex the Lion: Gone?
- [hits his head]
- Alex the Lion: What do you mean gone?
- Melman the Giraffe: How long has he been working on this?
- [into the hole]
- Melman the Giraffe: Marty! Marty!
- Gloria the Hippo: [enters the scene] He wouldn't fit down there!
- Alex the Lion: [looks into his haybed] Marty? Marty! Marty!
- Gloria the Hippo: This doesn't make any sense. Where would he go?
- Alex the Lion: [in shock] Connecticut!
- Gloria the Hippo: He wouldn't.
- Melman the Giraffe: Oh, no! What are we... What are we going to do? We gotta, we gotta. I mean, we got to, we gotta, we got to call somebody!
- [Alex gasps, then runs to the phone and dials 911]
- Alex the Lion: Hello? Get me some Missing Animals. And hurry. We've got a lost zebra on the way to Connecticut by now, and we're gonna need...
- [the police hears the lion roaring on speaker]
- Police Officer: Hello? Hello?
- Alex the Lion: Wait a second. We can't call the people.
- [hangs up the phone, then destroys it]
- Alex the Lion: They'll be really mad. It will get Marty transferred for good. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
- Gloria the Hippo: Mm-hmm, I know that's right.
- Alex the Lion: We gotta go after him.
- Melman the Giraffe: Go after him?
- Alex the Lion: He's not thinking straight. We gotta stop him from making the biggest mistake of his life. He's probably out there lost and cold, confused. Poor little guy.
- Police Horse: What you got to do is go straight back down west 42rd.
- Marty the Zebra: Uh huh.
- Police Horse: It's on your left, after Vanderbilt.
- Marty the Zebra: Okay.
- Police Horse: If you hit the Chrysler building, you're gone too far.
- Marty the Zebra: Alright. Thanks a lot, Officer.
- [Marty walks away]
- Police Horse: Hey! Wait for the light... Freak
- Police radio: [a police officer is on top of the house talking to his police radio] Did you say "zebra"?
- Police Officer: Yeah, yeah, that's right. A Zebra, right in front of me. Can I shoot it?
- Police radio: Negative.
- Police Officer: Then I'm going to need some backup.
