Madagascar: A Little Wild (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Pest Side Story - full transcript

Trying to earn her Queen of Kindness Kidizen badge, Gloria welcomes spirited rats into the habitat.

- Places!

- I love watching the
Kidizen Crew work.

Like their motto says,

"You're never too small
to give it your all."

- Have you ever seen anyone
work so hard on something?

- Can you blame them?

I have so many good
angles to capture,

it must take a while
to settle on just one.

Here's a thinking pose.

Action pose!

Brave pose!



Scared of spider pose!

Ah!

- Those are some
really good poses!

- I can relate to that last one.

- Shh, something official
-sounding is happening!

- Terrific work, Kidizens.

Please, step forward so I
can award you your badge

for "Excellence in
Animal Artistry."

- That is awesome!

- Way to go, Kidizens!

- Must be nice to earn
a badge like that.

- Yeah! I'm sure
they deserve them,

for their stunning
portraits of...

Ant'ney? Huh?



- Wonderful use of color!

- Ugh! I'd look better
in sculpture anyway.

- Okay, Kidizens, let's pack up!

Time to put those
art skills to work,

and earn our neighborhood
beautification badges.

- And time to put my relaxing
skills to work in this hot tub.

Ah...

- Hey, Marty, looks like the
Kidizens left something behind.

- Looks like a bunch of
leftover badges and lanyards.

Check it out!

They've got badges in
here for cleanliness,

sleuthing, drama...

building construction
and concrete repair.

Wait, what?

Okay, moving on.

And finally dancing,
and kindness. Wow!

- Can I have the
cleanliness one?

- Melman, by the power
not really vested in me,

I bestow upon you the
badge of cleanliness.

- Woah!

- And as the junior ranger
here, I got dibs on sleuthing!

And this one looks
perfect for Alex.

- Nice try, Marty, but Alex
doesn't have two faces!

- It's a drama badge, Melman.
The many faces of an actor!

The comedy face.

And the tragedy face.

- Oh...

- Comedy face. Tragedy face.

Comedy face. Tragedy face.
Comedy face. Tragedy face.

Comedy face!

- You really are a
great actor, Alex!

- That's me! Badge
me, badge guy!

- And last but not least,
Gloria gets the dancing badge.

Here ya go, Glo.

- Umm... I love to shake my
tail as much as the next hippo,

but I'm so much more than
just a spectacular dancer!

I'll take the kindness
badge instead.

- Well, you are
kind, that's true,

but dancing's more your
"thing", don'tcha think?

- What's that supposed to mean?
I am the Queen of Kindness!

- You are always saving
snacks to feed the ducks.

- And you're pleasant to be around.
- Thank you.

- And you did give me your extra
dumpling that one time. But...

it's hard to top what
a great dancer you are.

- I am great at dancing, but
I'm even better at "kind'ing".

And I'll prove it.
Stand back, everyone.

Queen of Kindness
coming through!

- So, just to be clear,

no one wants building
construction and concrete repair?

- Wow! Thanks, Gloria.

- It's the least a Queen
of Kindness can do.

- Uh?

Thanks, Gloria.

- Queen of Kindness
at your service.

- Trot, trot, gait.
Illustration two.

Gait, gait, trot.
Illustration three.

Trot, gait, trot.
Illustration four.

Trot, trot, gait!

- Saved ya from a big ol' muddy puddle.
The Queen of Kindness strikes again!

You're welcome.

- Uh...

thank you?

- Oh, bananas!

Now we have to climb back
down and get them all.

Or you
could open wide...

- Woah, okay, that's enough!

- You're welcome! All hail
the Queen of Kindness!

Ah!

- I think we made a wrong
turn in those tunnels, mates.

Looks like we're
going on safari!

- You're not on safari. This is
A Little Wild habitat at the zoo.

- Well, isn't that wild?

- You're funny.
- You're too kind!

- Really?

I mean, that makes sense.
Kindness is kinda my thing.

So, if there's anything you need at all,
just give the Queen of Kindness a call.

- Now that you mention
it, there is one thing.

- Roommates?

- We'd love to have
them as guests.

- They're moving in? Shouldn't
we at least discuss this first?

- They're not moving in.

The kids are trying
to earn a badge

by beautifying the entrance in the
park, near where the rats live,

that's why the rats need a
place till the noise dies down.

So I invited them to hang
in our habitat till then.

- Oh, okay. So they'll probably
be out by tonight then?

- At the latest...

unless it's later.

- That's fine by me!

Rats are much cleaner
than most people think.

- I'm good with it.

I just don't want anybody
messing with my yarn balls.

- Nobody wants to mess
with your yarn balls, Alex.

- If you spent as much time
as I have winding them,

you'd be touchy too.

- Whaddaya say?

It would be the neighborly thing
to do. The kind thing to do.

- Why not?
- Sounds fine.

- Yippee.

- We're all clear.
- Pleased to make your acquaintance.

And thanks for your hospitality.

- Welcome! And let us
know if you need anything.

Anything at all.

Anything!

- Well, maybe not any thing.

- Speak for yourself.

I'm going to be
kind. No matter what.

- All hail Gloria,
the Queen of Kindness!

- Over there is Alex and
Marty's bedroom cave.

That's the bed
where Melman sleeps.

And the big ol' log next
to the tree is our couch.

- Are you quite certain our
stay won't be any trouble?

We don't wish to be a bother.

- Scooch, scooch!

Oh, no, please!

Relax and help yourselves
to whatever you like!

There! Rest your feet!

- Much more comfy
than I expected.

- Quite soft for a hardwood.

- I was going to hang out
there, but it's alright.

At least they're keeping
their claws off my yarn.

- Good idea! They need toys!

Here!

Consider this your own
personal toy chest.

- I couldn't possibly!

- You must!

- Okay!
- Okay!

- Hey, those are the
lost and found items

that might need to be returned
to their owners one day.

- Marty, it's fine,
they're being careful.

- Yes, but...
- Marty, be kind.

- But, Gloria...
- Marty.

- Gloria...
- Marty.

- Uh...
- Marty!

- I guess it's alright if you're
careful not to break anything.

- Oh, yeah! GLORIA: Yes,
it's more than all right.

I know we've only just met,
but I want you to know:

there is no limit
to my kindness.

- Are you quite sure? We really
don't want to overstep our bounds.

- They can make themselves at home
however they like, right, Gloria?

- Right you are, Melman!

Allow me to explain.

- As long as you're asking, we could
use a bit of help with something.

If it's not a bother.

- What is it? Anything.

My mates and I have a band.

We're playing tonight, but we
didn't have our instruments

when we got blocked
from our home.

So even if we get back in time to play,
I'm afraid we shan't be warmed up.

- Oh, no! We don't have
musical instruments here.

- That's okay. We
use found objects.

We especially love shiny things
that sound good when they're hit!

It's sort of the rat way.

- I suppose there must be stuff
around here you could use.

- Riley here loves a good bass.

And Rafael is
partial to the drums.

If you could be so kind.

- "If I could be so kind?"

Uh... hello?

Ah!

Yippee!

Fancy that!

Tada! Now you have drums!

- Oh, lovely.

You've been more than generous.

Now, do you have any
materials for a guitar?

- I've got just the thing!

Alex, can I have the teensiest bit
of yarn for some guitar strings?

- Gloria, my yarn balls
are really special to me.

- So is that a yes?

- No.
- Okay.

- There, there, it's okay.

- It's some dental floss
from the lost and found.

Marty let me have it.

It might be used.

- Scavengers can't be
choosers, we rats always say.

This is perfect!

You've truly gone above and
beyond, and I would hate to impose,

but have you something we could blow
into, like a bottle or something?

- Coming right up!

- Rock on, sister!

- Feel that beat?
- I sure do!

But I'm a little too
beat for these beats.

This looks like
the perfect moment

for the Queen of Kindness
to take a little dip.

- Ah.

Ah...

Salutations!
- Hello!

- What the...?
- These are some more of me mates.

We're not crowding you, are we?

- Oh, um...

Well, to be honest...

Kick your claws
up! By all means!

The hot tub's all yours, enjoy!

Guess I'll head on over to
the slide to make more room.

Ah!

Wait, I was about to use that.

- No problem!

Get in line behind me.

- Hey there!
- The line ends here.

- Wait, how many
of you are there?

- Mates, step aside.
Let's not impose.

It's okay.

If they're having fun, I
don't want to get in the way.

Woohoo! Good times.

- Woohoo!

Woo-hoo-hoo!

- We'd better wait.
Tank's too full.

- How could the tank
be full already?

- The water's great! Thank you
for the invitation, Gloria.

We're having so much fun!

- I'm so glad!

- We might even take your offer
and stay awhile, right, mates?

- Yes!

- How much longer can they
possibly stay in there anyway?

- Fun fact: rats can swim
for three days straight.

- Three days?

Ah!

Sorry.

- Hey there! Just
double checking.

We can help ourselves to
anything in the habitat,

is that right?

- Yep.
- Cheerio!

Now just triple checking

because it appears at the
bottom of your watering hole

is a treasure chest!

- Oh! So cool!
- What's that?

Oh, that's...

Well, that's my own very special
personal private keepsake

from when I was a tiny hippo.

- How intriguing and
oddly fascinating!

We'll put it away then.

- Huh?

- Well, no...

I just... Maybe you...

Oh...

It's okay.

Use whatever...

you want.

- You've been hiding a treasure
chest at the bottom of your tank

the whole time we've known you?

- It must be pretty important. You
sure you want them playing with it?

- The Queen of Kindness shares
everything! Right, Gloria?

- Right. ROCKY: Whoa,
a glittery seashell.

- Oh! No, no. That's Sheldon!

My most precious toy from
when I was a baby hippo.

- Oh, I wanna see too!

- Careful! It might
crack if it gets dropped!

But you know, kick your
claws up or whatever.

- Oh, lemme see,
lemme see, please!

- Okay!

Let's be nice to Sheldon!

- Oh, no!

Ah!

- No!

Sheldon!

No!

Everyone keeps your
claws off my shell!

- Wait, what I miss?

- It is clear that I and my rat pack
have officially overstayed our welcome.

Thanks for your hospitality.

We're terribly sorry for any
trouble we may have caused.

Rodents! To the tunnels!

Hope to see you all
again sometime. Peace!

- Ah!

Wow, Gloria.

I didn't know your voice
could go that loud.

- I don't know what came over
me. That wasn't kind at all!

- Why didn't you just tell the rats how
you felt when they found your chest?

- I don't know.

But I can tell you
how I feel now:

awful.

Ah!

- What are you doing? GLORIA:
Looking for a new badge.

- The one for dancing?

- No. For the Queen of Mean.

- Ah, c'mon, Gloria,

you did a lot of nice
things for those rats.

- But it wasn't enough.

Queen of Kindness. Psht.

- Let's do something fun to
get your mind off this. Hm...

How about a dumpling
picnic in Central Park?

- That's a great idea.

- Yeah, let's do it! C'mon,
Gloria, that'll cheer you up.

- If a soak in my tub
won't cheer me up,

then I doubt a bunch of
scrumptious dumplings will either.

Aw... Ah!

- But I'll give it a try.

Yay!

- Hey, Dave and Pickles, we
brought you a badge for...

- We love them! Go ahead in!

Oh!

- Hey! That's not
what those are for!

That's definitely not
what those are for!

- Let it go.

Ouch!

- This gate's not
supposed to be here.

Great.

Now the Kidizens are
beautifying this tunnel entrance

and we can't exit
till they're done.

At least now we know what the
concrete repair badge is for.

- Ah!

- I bet it's going
to look beautiful!

- But the dumplings!

Follow me!

- Are you sure this
is the right way?

- Pretty sure!

It's that way.

Or... maybe that way?

- We're lost, aren't we?

- "Lost" is such a strong word.

- Do we know how
to get back home?

- I... don't think so.

- Then that means we're lost!

- It's probably my fault. I'm sure
my mean, dark heart led us here.

- Actually, it's because the Kidizens
blocked the last tunnel exit.

Follow me!

- Really?

We're following Alex again?

Okay.

Well!
- Ah!

- Fancy seeing you all here!
- Rocky! What are you doing here?

- We're throwing a
party for getting back.

The Kidizens finished their work

and someone had to find
more musical instruments.

Look! Ribbon sticks!

- We got lost on our
way to have dumplings.

Can you show us the way?

- We've got dumplings
at our party! Come join!

- I don't wanna go.

I can't face all those rats
again after what I did.

- C'mon!

- Okay.

- Alright, this way!

Yeah!

- Oh!

- Welcome!

Wow!

- Awesome!

- Hold on. This is a rat's nest?
I thought it would be ratty-er.

- It's adorable.
- Told ya they're clean!

- Hey, mates, I got the ribbon
sticks. And look what else I found!

Our first song's dedicated
to these fine folks

who gave us a place to stay
till we could get home.

Dance party!

- Stop that.

- I didn't realize
Gloria was shy.

- Gloria shy?

Yeah, right.

- Does she hate dancing then?
- Dancing's her favorite thing ever.

- Are we talking
about the same Gloria?

- Limbo contest!

- Care to eat or dance or limbo?

- Thank you, but I can't
accept your kindness

after I was so unkind to you.

- But you were very kind!
- Ha!

What about when I yelled
at you all to leave?

- Aw, no hard
feelings about that.

- Well, you should
have hard feelings!

It's kind to share and I
didn't. I mean, look at you!

You're sharing your home,
your music, your toys,

this delightful block
of Swiss Cheese.

- Wait! Please. Don't.

That Swiss cheese has been
aging in my family for years.

It isn't for guests.

It's not even for eating,
it's an ancient relic

that's very special to us.

May I interest you in a
lovely cheddar instead?

- Oh! Yes, please.

- Here you go.
- Thank you!

- I hope you understand why we
don't share our Swiss cheese,

and that you won't
think us unkind.

- Not at all. Huh!

Wait, I think get it!

So that cheese is special to you,
like my Sheldon is special to me!

And if I had told you how I felt about
you getting into my special stuff,

I never would have yelled
at you in the first place.

- That sounds about right!

Go, Melman! Go, Melman!
Go, Melman! Go, Melman!

- I think they need backup.
- Roger that.

Go, Melman! Go,
Melman! Go, Melman!

- I did it! I'm a
limbo champion! Ow!

- Hey, we need more space. Let's
take this party back to our place!

- Gloria, where's your
kindness badge by the way?

- Here you go!

- By the power vested
in me by myself,

I hereby return this
badge to where it belongs:

on Gloria!

- Thank you! Long may the
Queen of Kindness reign!

- Now, a little number to
thank the Queen of Kindness,

Gloria!

- Gloria?

- 'Scuse me!
- You're excused.

Yes, you may swim in the pool,

but the trunk at the bottom
of the pool is off limits!

And so is my stuffed
pooky wooky doll!

- You have a stuffed pooky wooky
doll you never told us about?

- There's a whole world of
surprises in that watering hole.
