Madagascar: A Little Wild (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 5 - CupKate - full transcript

Melman is worried that his homemade birthday gift for Kate won't measure up

- Places!

- Aw, Melman. Isn't he just
the cutest when he sleeps?

- Yup! Good thing he doesn't need a
bed or it'd have to be really big.

Giraffes can grow
up to 20 feet tall.

- You got that right, Claire!

And you've just earned yourself
an Animal Fun Facts sticker.

Huh. I could've sworn I
had some stickers in here.

Mm. Pickles, Dave, did you
happen to see my stickers?

- You're not buying it either, huh?
- Nope!

- Come on now, hand 'em over.

- There you go.
- Thanks, Kate!



- You're welcome. Enjoy
your day at the zoo!

- Bye!
- See ya later. Huh? Hey!

You're not trying to sneak
these away again, are you?

Oh, all right.
But just one each!

- I know that giraffes
have really big hearts.

Up to 25 pounds! Can
I get a sticker too?

- Sure thing!
Here you go. Huh?

- Are they always this wild?
- Oh, no. They're usually much wilder.

Pickles, put your
diaper back on!

- What's the perfect
birthday gift for someone

who's always spreading
sunshine across the zoo?

Some sunny balloons!

- Aw, how did you know
it was my birthday?

- Let's just say, a
little birdie told me.



- Was it Bill the Flamingo?
That bird cannot keep a secret.

Ah, thank you,
Carlos. I love 'em!

- You're welcome.
Happy birthday!

- Ugh!

Presto! A perfect birthday card
for a perfect birthday Kate.

- Good morning, Melman! Today
is gonna be a beautiful day.

- Everybody! I'm so excited
for Kate's birthday,

so I put together
something special!

- So did I! Check out
what I made for her!

- Wow.
- You made that?

- Very impressive, my main
mammal! Now, check this out.

You know that Sketch-It toy that's
been in the Lost and Found for months?

Leapin' lions!

- It took me a while to
get her hair just right.

- Wow. You Sketch-It'ed that yourself?
- I was feeling inspired.

- Kate's gonna love that!
How 'bout this gift?

Wow!
- Awesome!

- Where did you get that!

- I made it! I collected freshwater pearls
from the oysters in my tank for months.

- I didn't even know you
had oysters in your tank.

- Kate's gonna love it!
- She's gonna love all our gifts!

- She goes gaga for
homemade presents!

- Yeah, when they look like that!
- What did you wanna show us, Melman?

- Oh, nothing. I don't know
what I'm giving Kate yet.

But it'll be spectacular.

- Okay.

- What did you get her?
Kate's gonna love that.

Come on.
Think, Melman, think!

I gotta get Kate a
new birthday present.

But what could I get her that
she'd love more than anything?

- Uh! Rainbow sprinkle cupcakes?
Oh, I love them more than anything!

What a perfect way to
celebrate my birthday!

It's almost my lunch break.
Meet me at The Cupcake Bee!

- Kate! Quick! It's the baby hedgehogs.
- What's the matter?

- I tucked them in to sleep, but
I sang them the Good Morning song

instead of the Good Night song and
now they're throwing a tantrum.

They won't sleep!

- Don't worry, it took me a few tries
to master the hedgies' routine, too.

- I'm on it.
- Thanks, Kate. You're a rockstar!

- Change of plans. I'm a
little tied up at the habitat

and won't be able to meet
you for lunch after all.

Thank you for the invite,

but I'll have to get my
birthday cupcakes next year.

- Uh! I know what I'm going
to get Kate for her birthday!

It's something she'll love more than
anything: rainbow sprinkle cupcakes!

- Sounds cool! Can I see them?

- Oh, well. I haven't
gotten them yet.

That's where you all come in.
We're going to The Cupcake Bee!

- The Cupcake Bee? Woohoo!
What's a cupcake bee?

- Huh? I thought you'd know.
- Nope.

- Never heard of it.

- Oh, well, maybe you can
make Kate something instead.

- I need this to be Kate's
most special gift ever.

- She'll love anything you give her,
as long as it comes from the heart.

- Well, my heart is telling me that
what she'll love most is a cupcake

from The Cupcake Bee,
whatever that is.

Incoming!

- Ant'ney!
- Hiya, kids! What's the word?

- I have two words,
cupcake and bee.

- Ever heard of it?
- I know The Cupcake Bee.

It's that new bakery in town! All
the birds are chirping about it.

- Everybody loves that place.
- So does Kate! Can we go there?

- What are we waiting
for? Let's fly!

I mean, I'll fly, you kids do
what you do. Meet ya in the city!

- Dave, ya missed a spot! Uh!

You're welcome! That
woulda been embarrassing.

- Pickles, Dave!
You two look...

uh, lovely?

- Flattery will get you
nowhere. Toll, please.

- Gloria, show 'em what you got.

- It's beautiful!

Thanks, Gloria! We love it.

Woohoo!

- First thing's first.
We need disguises.

- Uh, didn't anyone ever teach these
kids to clean up after themselves?

- Wow! Watch out!
- What?

Heads up!

- Oh, oh!

This is not how New Yorkers
are meant to get around!

You walk, you fly, or you
sweat in the subway station

until they fix the train.

- They're just gonna
leave their stuff here?

- These scooters are part of
a city-wide sharing system.

It's free to ride 'em.
Any monkey could do it.

- Any monkey? How
about a giraffe?

Whoo! MARTY: Wahoo!

Woohoo!

- What? No way! Ah!

Yeah! ALEX: Yeah!

Woohoo!
Woohoo!

Ah!

Yeah!

Melman! Are you okay?

- Okay? I'm great! My nose
is telling me I'm this close

to getting my hooves on
the best birthday gift

in the whole city!

- Yeah, you and the
rest of New York.

- Maybe you can get her the second
best birthday gift in the city?

- This is taking forever!
- How long have we been standing here?

- Three minutes!

- At least it smells amazing.

- Uh! That's where the cupcakes
are made! Let's go see!

- I don't want to lose my place.

- Go ahead, Melman. We'll
wait in line for you.

- Thanks, Marty! Thanks, Alex!

- I'm so bored of
waiting in this line.

- I know how we can pass the time.
How about a game of tic -tac-toe!

- Fine, but I get to be the toe.

- Oh, so beautiful.

I can just imagine how
much Kate will love it.

- It'll be perfect!

Hmm.

- I swear, they were hissy -fitting
and temper-tantruming all morning!

- C'mon, hedgies. You
gotta ease up on Carlos.

He loves you just as much
as I do. Don't you, Carlos?

- Of course I do!

Ugh! I don't even
know why I try!

- It's almost afternoon,
way past your bedtime.

Aw, what a sweet present. How did
you know my boots needed a shine?

Hmm. All right,
let's tuck it in.

- Kate!
- Hush! What's up, Carlos?

- Now we've got a situation
with the sea lions.

Ronathan's got his whiskers
in a ruffle, literally!

- Uh! I'll be right there.

- Hey! She finally
got them to go to...

sleep.

Kate, wait!

- Ha! Beat ya again.
- Aw, come on.

The sun was in my eyes.
New game: staring contest.

Whoever looks away
first loses. Go!

Hmm...

Next!
- Uh! Look! The line got shorter.

- But let the record show,
I won by half a blink.

Gloria, Ant'ney, Melman!
It's almost our turn!

- We're so close, I can
taste it! BIANCA: Next!

- It's almost time! Yippee!
- What are they doing?

- Classic starring contest. Round two!
- Huh.

- I'm in line at The Cupcake
Bee. Yeah, I'll try to be quick.

I gotta get my lil'
girl's birthday cupcakes.

They're her favorites.

- Alex! Maybe we should give
that man our place in the line.

- Yeah. Sure, Melman.
Whatever you want.

- But then again, we have
been waiting here for hours.

- He'll get his turn -
Uh-uh. Yeah. Totally.

- 'Cause on the one hoof, I've got to
get Kate's favorite rainbow cupcakes.

- I don't wanna disappoint her. These
cupcakes would really make her day.

- On the other hoof, why shouldn't
we let this guy go in front of us?

That's what Kate'd
do. Don'tcha think?

- I think that our game's
over. And that Melman's right.

C'mon, gang, let's
give this man our spot.

- Works for me.

- It's only one spot in line.
What's the worst that could happen?

Next.
- Weren't you just in front of me?

Next!
- Coming!

Thanks, Bianca! These are gonna
make my little girl's day.

- Tell her happy birthday for me!
- Finally, it's our turn!

- Cupcake Bee, B speaking! I'm
sorry, I just sold our last cupcake.

- Uh-oh. Maybe they have
some extras in the back.

- Oh, we have no extras in the back.
- Surely, they're going to make more.

- More cupcakes are coming...
- See?

- Tomorrow! Until
then, we're closed.

- Guess I spoke too soon.
- Oh, no! What have I done?

- C'mon, Melman. Let's
head back to the habitat.

We'll all help you make
something special for Kate.

- Wait! Come check this
out! It's the bakers.

Looks like they finished up for the day.
Maybe they left a cupcake or two in there.

You find anything?

- Nothing here.
- Nada.

- Nope.

- I guess I won't be getting Kate
the best birthday present after all.

- Thanks goodness,
you're still here!

I just got an order for an
art gallery party tomorrow.

These cupcakes had better
be perfect. Now, move out!

- If you can't pick up cupcakes for
Kate, maybe you could bake them for her?

- I'm here! What's wrong?

- Ronathan bonked his nose
on the side of the pool.

I tried bandaging him up, but
he keeps running away from me.

- Aw, buddy. Let's
take care of that.

I guess you're feeling better!

- It worked, she fell
for it! Time to rock.

Aw!

Wow!

That was wonderful!

It's almost like you created a
brand new routine just for me!

- Hey, Kate?
- Uh-oh. I'm afraid to ask.

- We've got a situation
with Bill the Flamingo.

Mind giving me a hand?

- Sure thing! You wouldn't believe
the private sea lion show I just had!

- Now, I need two dozen
chocolate and two dozen vanilla.

I've filled the CupCake
Maker 300 with batter,

so the conveyer should start
popping 'em out any minute.

Oh, and make sure to keep
those icing swirls tight.

Oh, and easy on the toppings!

They ordered cupcakes
with sprinkles on top,

not sprinkles with
cupcakes on the bottom.

Get it done. Left,
left, left, right, left!

- She's gone. What's the plan?
- You heard Bianca.

Those cupcakes will start
popping out any minute.

Gloria and Alex, you'll
handle the art gallery order.

- Ah!
- Under my supervision.

Melman and Ant'ney can get to
work on a special batter for Kate.

Everyone to their stations!

Get ready!

Cupcakes to be frosted coming
in T-minus five seconds.

- How hard can it be to
frost a few cupcakes?

- Three, two, one.
Here they come!

- Looking good!
- I'm a natural.

- Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy.

- Melman, this is where
you add a pinch of sugar.

- Are you sure? I think
I saw the bakers...

- I watched those bakers
bake all day! Trust me, kid.

I know what I'm talking about.

That's not a pinch.
This is a pinch.

There you go!

- Should I put that
much baking soda, too?

- You know what the best chefs say:
"Lots is good, but more is better."

- One most special
cupcake coming right up!

- Now all we gotta
do is bake it.

- Ah, I love it when
a plan comes together!

- Uh. Uh, is this
getting faster?

- Who turned up the speed?
- What? Oh. Heh-heh.

- Not faster, Marty, slower!

- I'm trying!

- We got this. We can do this!
- Okay, we can make this work.

- Ah! Ah! I don't
know what to do!

- Oh!

- It's rising so fast! I must
be a really good cupcake maker.

- Yeah, that must be it.
You've got a real talent for...

Get back!

- Hum! Hum!

- Melman? You okay?

- It's spectacular!

I can't wait to see
the look on Kate's face

when she realizes I made
her the hugest cupcake

in the whole world!

- Let's frost that
baby and get it home!

- After we take care of the rest
of these art gallery cupcakes.

- I'm on it! Ah!
- Uh-uh!

- Let me guess. That's
not what you meant.

- Yee! It's perfect!

- Well, at least we
know they taste good.

- Lift on the count
of three. One...

Three!

Okay, okay,
you got it. Nope, nope.

A little more left.
Whoa, whoa, too much!

To the right now. No,
back to the middle! Okay.

Easy, easy. Melman! I'm
watching you. Don't drop it.

Your side's going down, Melman!

- I just saw a cupcake
floating down the street.

- Oh, Murray! Your
blood sugar must be low.

- Bakers, what's the
status of that order?

I got T-minus ten to
get them out the door...

These cupcakes are crooked,
lopsided and completely...

perfect for the opening
of an art gallery!

Uh! Tomorrow my bakers
are getting a raise!

- This is hopeless!
It'll never fit.

- Maybe if we squish a little
here and squash a little there...

- Uh, hello? Shouldn't you
be following that thing?

- Oh, right!

- Bon voyage and bonne chance!

Yeah!
- We gotta get that cupcake!

Woohoo!

Whoo! Yeah!

- Where'd the cupcake go? Huh?

We gotta get away
from that cupcake!

- Phew! That was a close one.
- But where's the...?

- Here it comes!

- Huh? You know for a second,
I thought it was going to...

- Huh. Could use
more sprinkles.

- Now what am I going to give
Kate? Her birthday's almost over!

- I don't know, but
you better think fast.

- What a day! I
know it sounds wild,

but it's almost as though all the
animals knew it was my birthday.

Even Bill the Flamingo
left me a little something!

Would you look at
this little lion!

Aw! A family portrait!

And a pearl necklace? Aw,
Carlos, you shouldn't have!

- I didn't. Maybe you
have a secret admirer!

- Huh!

Wherever they came from, I
know just where to put them.

Hmm.

- Whatcha got there, Melman?
- Check out that fancy hoofwork!

- Did you make that yourself?

- It's not as good as all of your gifts.
What if Kate doesn't like it as much?

- She's gonna love
your homemade card.

- How could she not? It's a
gift from her favorite giraffe.

- All that matters is that
it comes from the heart.

- All right. Who's
ready for bedtime?

What's this? Would
you look at that.

Your hoofprint on this leaf
looks almost like a heart.

Uh! I had such a
wonderful birthday,

but this one-of-a-kind Melman
original is the icing on top!

Hmm...

- I knew she'd love it.

- I'm gonna frame this
and hang it in my office,

and every time I look at
it, I'll think of you.

- I don't know about you, Kate,
but according to my watch,

it's cupcake time!

- Uh! Dad! You made it!
- Dad?

- You got my favorite cupcakes.
- Only the best for my little girl.

- Uh! That's the guy!
- From The Cupcake Bee?

- Wow! How'd you
manage to nab these?

I heard the line at The Cupcake
Bee stretched for three blocks!

- Some nice kids gave
me their spot in line.

Reminded me of
something you might do.

- Who'da thought? Kate got her
favorite cupcakes today after all.

- Mission CupKate, accomplished!
- All thanks to Melman.

- I guess the perfect gift
really does come from the heart!

- Happy birthday,
Kate! Make a wish.

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow! Ow!

Ow!

Maybe covering ourselves in
stickers wasn't such a great idea.

Ow!
