Quotes

Needle Point/Eclipsed

The Penguins of Madagascar

Edit
  • Skipper: This is just a routine visit to the doctor. Turn and cough, boys. Turn and cough.
  • King Julien: Why is the blue sky not sky-bluish?
  • Skipper: Think again, Doctor Deranged! I don't do needles.
  • 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: Kowalski, analysis.
  • Kowalski: I'm picking up good vibrations.
  • Skipper: That's it! No more mister nice guy.
  • Private: For you or Julien?
  • Skipper: Whatever works.
  • Skipper: Gentlemen, had this had been an actual tennis ball machine uprising, we would've lost. Game, set, match.
  • 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.
  • Skipper: Sounds like the sky spirits are sending you a message.
  • King Julien: But I am being extra crazy nice.
  • Skipper: New York sky spirits are fickle pickles.
  • Mason: Phil, I don't know how to break this to you: There is no checkmate in checkers.
  • [Phil signs angrily]
  • Mason: [gasps] You groom your mother with those hands!
  • 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.
  • Mason: King Julien, you are truly inspiring.
  • King Julien: I know, it is from the dancing.
  • Mason: Yes, well we were just talking to the sky spirits...
  • King Julien: Word up. The sky spirits love me. Peace out, sky spirits! Uh, wait, wait, wait. Conversing?
  • Mason: Yes. Phil translates, actually.
  • Mason: [to Phil] Begin countdown.
  • Mason: [back to Juilien] And they are about to send you a message... right... about... now!
  • King Julien: Just waiting for you to roll over so I can fluff up your pillow.
  • Skipper: Not necessary.
  • King Julien: It is okay, I'm prepared to wait all night.
  • Skipper: I like a hard pillow.
  • King Julien: Oh, I could be your pillow. My bottom is very soft and plushy, you know.
  • 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?
  • Skipper: [as Kowalski goes to get his shot] Be strong, Kowalski.
  • Kowalski: [Gets his shot] Good Galileo Galile-EEEEEEEEEE!
  • Skipper: The man's a butcher.
  • Mason: Ah, Sunday morning.
  • King Julien: Sunday morning? Uh-uh, no! It is still Saturday night, baby! The sky spirits told me.
  • Mason: Sky spirits?
  • King Julien: Yes. They give me signs because I am the king. See that cloud up there? It says to me "party with the pansies."
  • Mason: Chim-panzees, and we were enjoing a quiet morning, if you don't mind.
  • King Julien: Oh, I do mind, mister. That cloud up there says party time, so it's time to party, mister. Mort, crank up that conga rhythm!
  • Mason: Oh, please, not conga.
  • King Julien: [singing] I am the Conga King / Doing the conga thing / Tail up and tail down / Grab my bottom and sing! / Let's all go conga-ga! / More fun in conga-ga! / You can't stop conga-ga! / Grab my bottom and sing!
  • 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.
  • Mason: He must be stopped before he conga-gas again.
  • [Phil shows Mason a newspaper headline]
  • Mason: Solar eclipse? What does that have to do with King Dancy Pants?
  • [Phil signs]
  • Mason: The sky spirits, you say? Phil, that is positively diabolical. Lovely.
