Uh, we are gathered here today
to honor a patriot.

A lemur who showed courage
on the battlefield

and bravely fought for his kingdom
in some war

that happened a long, long, long, long...

[clears throat]

...time ago.

This guy is like super old, peoples.

-And he's pretty grumpy.
-[clears throat]

Maurice, do you need a lozenge
or some sort of salve?



[mumbling] He's right over there.

Argh!

Give it up for Hector!

Madagascar's oldest
and only living war hero.

Give it up, everyone!

[all cheering and applauding]

He's so old.

On behalf of everyone in the kingdom,

thank you for whatever you did.

Ow! Watch it!

Well, then hold still.

I am holding-- Ow!

Stop poking me!

I'm trying to give you an award.

A little thanks
would be appreciated, you know.

[screaming in pain]

Yeah, you're welcome!

How long...

[slurping]

is this ceremony going to last?

It's taking forever!

I don't care about history.

Oh, me neither.

The past is so old. Like Hector.

I can't believe my ear holes,

because what I am hearing
is a whole lot of "blah blah,"

when I should be hearing
a whole lot of "rah rah!"

Lemur spirit, let's go! Chop-chop!

Yes!

Willie, thank you for expressing
your lemur spirit.

Oh, no, actually, I was
just raising my hand

to ask if we could go home now.

Ugh.

Oh, yeah, Willie. Yeah, sure, yeah.

Go ahead, no problem.

Go ahead and leave,

if you don't care about sacrifice,

and its saucy handmaiden freedom!

Why? Oh! I was just being
passive aggressive, people.

[screams] You're not actually
supposed to leave!

These idiots would be singing
a different tune

if they ever had to go to war.

Aha!

[humming a tune]

That's it. [laughs]

I'm afraid to ask this,
but, what are you doing?

My kingdom doesn't have spirit

because they never had a war
to bond them.

"Quid pro quo," I will give them a war.

First, that's not what
quid pro quo means and second,

I don't think starting a war
is a very good idea.

That's right, Maurice.
It's a very great idea.

Help me decide who to go to war with.

[sighs]

[humming]

Nope, too dangerous.

[continues humming]

Nope, too dangerous.

-[grunts]
-No.

Ah! I love those guys!

Aren't they extinct?

[shudders] No.

-No. Oh... Yes, perfect!
-[giggling]

-I will start a war with...
-[groans]

...the butterflies.

We can totally take those guys. [laughing]

May I remind you that your people
probably won't support a war

with a peaceful group of flying insects

-who never did us any harm?
-[Mort groaning]

Oh, yes, they will, Maurice,

because that peaceful group
of flying insects will strike first.

[loud techno music playing]

Hurry up, Maurice, we don't have all day!

Why are we doing this again?

We're framing the butterflies
for an attack

in order to unite my peoples
in support of a war.

Ah! I've been reborn as a butterfly.

[laughs]

Perfect.

Disturbing, but perfect.

Now, hold this.

[Mort groans]

I'm flying!

[Maurice groans]

[continues groaning, straining]

[laughing]

[grunts] A little help here.

[groans]

Ow!

[all cheering]

Don't just hang there, Mort.

Remember, you're a mean little butterfly.

I'm a mean little butterfly. [snarling]

[straining] King Julien,

I don't think I can hold it much longer.

Sure you can, Mo-Mo.

Hey, Dorothy, watch this move.

I call it "The Full Diva."

-Yeah, that's nice, Ted.
-[groans]

[grunting]

Say, why is that fat butterfly
throwing fruit at us?

[screams] Because I'm attacking you!
[grunts]

[exclaims]

[screaming] I'm starting a war!

[all clamoring]

A war? We're all gonna-- [groans]

-[all screaming]
-[grunts]

Oh! Oh, no! [straining] King Julien?

Not now, Maurice.

Can't you see I'm busy here watching?

[all continue screaming]

[creaking]

[continues straining, mumbles]

[screaming]

[Mort groaning]

-[rumbling]
-[all screaming]

Maurice! Did I tell you to let go?

No. [screams] No, I did not!

[all exclaiming in horror]

What's going on? What happened?

[groaning]

Oh, golly.

[screams] Ted!

-What did you see, Ted?
-Oh, Ted! Who did this to you?

It was a butterfly, King Julien.

An unusually large,
strange-looking butterfly. [shudders]

Its face was so horribly ignorant.

[gasps] A butterfly?

-Hey!
-Did everyone hear what Ted said?

It was a butterfly.

Oh, boy. [groaning] Ow!

A butterfly?

Clover, I know you're going to say
that doesn't make any sense.

That makes complete sense!

I always knew those butterflies
were no good.

One word, "cocoons."

What goes on in there?
You tell me! Huh? Huh?

But you can't, you see?
'Cause nobody knows!

[all] Hmm.

Listen up, everybody.

The butterflies attacked our water slide.

Uncool! Un-cool!

Seems like we should
probably bond over this,

and I don't know,
I'm just throwing out ideas,

spitballing, declare war or something.

Well, if King Julien
says we should go to war,

then we should go to war.

Of course we should!

They attacked us
and destroyed our water slide.

-[all chanting] We want war!
-[snarling] We want war!

[chanting continues]

That settles it.

I hereby declare war upon the butterflies!

[all cheering]

See how the people
are coming together, Maurice.

You gotta admit,
my plan is totally working.

Yeah, for now.

But your plans always have
a way of backfiring.

Yeah? Name one time.

Well, there was the time
you made me go up a foosa's--

Oh, hey, there's Mort.

Look, King Julien,

I designed it myself.

Red, white and feet.

-Not bad, Mort.
-[Mort giggling]

Glad to see your lemur spirit
is coming out.

Even if it is a little creepy.

King Julien, I've alerted our Navy
to the butterfly threat.

They await your orders, sir!

We have a Navy?

[mumbling nervously]

I'd like to begin training
the new recruits.

Um, train them for what?

Fighting.

Combat.

[grunting] The war?

[laughing]

Oh, Clover, you clearly
know nothing about war.

There won't be any fighting. [laughs]

Fighting...

in a war.

Did you hear what she said, Maurice?
[continues laughing]

Actually, the definition of "war" means--

[Julien mocking]
The war is good for my people. Look.

When's the last time you saw
everybody working together...

[all cheering]

...full of so much lemur pride
and ringtail spirit?

Eh. That may be, but what do you think
is gonna happen

when the butterflies
hear that we're at war?

-[Maurice gulps]
-What was that? Wait, uh...

-What did Maurice say?
-[Maurice hums]

Nothing. He said nothing.

You framed the butterflies for the attack
to start a war, didn't you?

Uh... [drawling]

-Technically, Maurice and Mort did.
-Really?

-Argh! What?
-But don't worry, Clover.

The first rule of war,

is never tell your enemy you're at war.

-Duh!
-Argh!

The butterflies will never know.

I come with news from the lemur kingdom.

What has that idiotic primate
King Julien done now?

Out with it!

Uh, King Julien has declared war
on us, Your Highness.

Finally, the moment has come!

For too long, butterflies have been seen
as merely decorative.

Tiny little things that just flap along
in the breeze

without a thought in our heads.

But no more!

Now the world will see
what we're really made of!

[laughing maniacally]

Hello? I was just doing
an evil telepathic laugh.

[sighs] Man, I wish we had lips.

[snoring]

-[rumbling]
-[exclaims, groans]

[gasps]

[grunting]

[gasps]

-[whirring]
-No!

-[trembling]
-[panting]

[all screaming]

Everyone, take cover!

In your huts, now!

[screaming continues]

[screams] My beverage!

[sobbing] Why?

-[engines revving]
-[all screaming]

Maurice!

The butterflies are attacking us!

[screaming] What are we going to do?

[splattering]

That was a big load of kumquats.

Yeah, but fortunately,
they all hit one spot.

Sorry, Horst.

[sobbing]

My beverage!

Bad news, Your Majesty.

It's the Pee Pee Pants, sir. She's gone.

What about Willie?

He went down with the ship.

[Julien sobbing]

I'm really going to miss that guy.

What is everyone crying about?

[screams] Willie!

-[Willie groans]
-[giggles nervously]

Oh, Dorothy. I am just so angry
at those nasty butterflies.

I'm so angry that I could just...

Ooh, Ted.

...sing a song about it!

[explosion]

[feedback]

[all cheering]

I didn't know
lemurs could explode like that.

Yeah? That's how much
he loves his kingdom, Maurice.

[sighing in despair]

As your royal advisor,

I urge you to talk to the Butterfly Queen
and put an end to this.

I cannot do that, Maurice.

Not when my peoples
are finally united as one.

I can't back out now!

But we're unprepared for war.

We don't have an army or weapons or--

Oh, I've got weapons.

The Pee Pee Pants
was just the initial assault.

Textbook psychological warfare.

They'll be back. And we better be ready.

Ugh, there's no way
we can beat the butterflies.

-You're right!
-I knew you'd see reason.

We need help!

-Oh, no.
-Oh, yes, Maurice.

We need someone strong
and intimidating who's on our side.

Someone to be our war buddy!

-Yes! [laughs]
-[Maurice sighs]

I'll handle this on my own.

Let's go, Maurice.

Hm. It's a note from King Julien.

"Will you be my war buddy?"

[chomps]

Circle one. Yes or no.

Oh, well, isn't that nice?

[stomach rumbling]

Wait a minute.

[rumbling continues]
I... I'm starting to feel... gassy.

[gasps] Is there gluten in this?

I'm allergic to gluten.

Everybody knows that!

That King Julien
tried to kill me with gluten.

That's it. He'll pay for this!

[rumbling continues]

Uh-uh-uh! Right after I use the restroom!

[farts, explodes]

I guess they'll have to do.

[clamoring]

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

[screaming] Welcome to the situation room!

-May I begin the briefing, sir?!
-Yes, Clover.

Wouldn't hurt to lower the volume
a few notches, though.

Can't, sir, too excited!

This is my first situation room.

Dreams really do come true, sir!
A-ha! [inhales deeply]

As you can see, we are here.

Whoa!

You mean,

we're in the map?

[sniffing frantically]

-Uh...
-[sniffing, mumbling]

From what my scouts have told me,
the enemy has us surrounded.

[mumbling] What are those again?

These are the butterflies.

Ooh!

[chomps] I won the war!

No, King Joey,
those aren't real butterflies.

Oh! [retching]

[King Joey mumbling]

Our best bet is to fortify our position.

Or we should all scatter.

No, no. Fortify. Nope, scatter.

[screams] Don't know
what to do! So excited!

Clover, get a hold of yourself!

King Joey, stop eating
the war pieces, please.

Maurice, [screaming] get someone in here
with real war experience!

[Hector grunts]

Okay, Hector, hit us with the ideas.

[retching]

Nope. We're not doing this.

Some war hero you are!

[Ted] The butterflies are coming!
The butterflies are coming!

[screams] And the crocodiles, too! Run!

[wings buzzing]

[all screaming]

[snapping]

The butterflies got a war buddy, too!

We're not safe here.

-[all continue screaming]
-[crocodiles growling]

Everyone, fall back to the cave!

This way! Quick!

-[screaming continues]
-[snarling]

-[snarls]
-Everyone, grab hold!

-[straining]
-[snarling]

[Julien] Okay, so we're all in the cave.

What now?

[Ted] I just fear-tinkled.

-[Julien] Oh, come on, man!
-[Dorothy] Oh, Ted!

-[lemur 1] Throw him out of the cave.
-[all clamoring]

[lemur 2] We're in the dark!

-[lemur 3] You need to get that checked.
-[lemur 2] You can't just pee in the dark!

[Clover grunts]

Oh, Maurice.

This is not what I thought
war would be like.

It's not all fun and parades.

[gasps] Look, Maurice!

Mort?

My King Julien! [groans]

A flower. Beauty.

Living amidst the destruction and ashes,

like a rose in concrete.

Respect, flower. Respek.

-[Mort groans]
-It's just a flower, Your Majesty.

You're right. It is just a flower.

But if this little flower
can live in peace,

why can't we, Maurice?

[shouting] We were living in peace
until you went and--

I know what I must do now.

[Julien groans]

[Mort humming]

That settles it.

I'm inviting the butterflies
and the crocodiles to a peace summit.

Huh?

[all straining]

[Clover gasps]

-Ooh.
-Huh?

[all gasping]

Uh, hello, Madam Butterfly.
May I show you to your seat?

So... uh, where are the crocodiles?

The crocodiles are late. Let's begin.

Whoa! I can, like,
hear you in my brain. [chuckles]

How did you do that?

Oh, man, can you teach me?

-I could totally freak people out.
-[clears throat] Focus.

You really need to get
that cough checked out.

I said... let us begin.

Ah! Yes, of course. [chuckles nervously]

I offer you this flower
as a symbol of peace.

I hope you will take it
and we can put an end to this war

and go back to peaceful peacey-ness.

Uh, I take your silence as a "yes."

So, if you could just sign here,
this peace treaty, that'd be great.

Uh, all standard language.
Nothing to be worried about.

[gasps]

The butterflies are not interested
in peace.

Okay, well, then,
not to split hairs or anything,

but uh, why did you come
to a peace treaty then,

if you didn't want peace?
You see what I mean?

Because, I wanted to see your face

when I declared all out jungle war!

I assure you, I will win and when I do,

-I will take over all of Madagascar!
-[murmuring]

[shouting] It will be mine! All mine!

-[laughs maniacally]
-[exclaims]

[gulping]

Oh. Did not see that coming.

-[plant burps]
-[butterflies cheering]

Finally, she's gone!

Thank you, King Julien. Thank you.

[all] We're free! We're free!

-We're free! We're free! We're free!
-[Julien laughing]

[all cheering]

Oh, golly! Did I really explode earlier?

[kissing]

[all continue cheering]

[Mort cheering]

[playing a tune]

[Clover] Okay, out of my way.

Dangerous flora coming through.
Stand clear.

So, not only did I unite my own people,

but I saved the entire butterfly kingdom
from their oppressive ruler.

And you thought my plan would backfire.

May I remind you that we're still
technically at war with the crocodiles?

Oh, we took care of the crocodiles
for you, King Julien.

They're in a maze!

[laughs]

[grumbling, sobbing]

[shouting] King Julien!

[Julien] Woo!
