The Penguins of Madagascar (2008–2015): Season 1, Episode 0 - Gone in a Flash - full transcript

When the penguins lose access to their favorite snack, Skipper and crew leap into action to find a new supply. Julien and Maurice fight over a camera that fell from the sky.

Making my ice cream

Sprinkling it up

Now we're adding a cherry on top

Less sprinkles next time,
okay, Maurice?

Gonna relax, take a load off

The sun is much
sunnier over here. See?

wanna eat my banana
Hope no one takes it

Nicely done, Maurice.
Now peel me a grape.

- But that was...
- Grape, Maurice. Grape! Not lip.

Here's where I last had the camera.
It couldn't just disappear.

But you just can't take...



Rule number one,
do not question the king.

Rule number two... Oh, I'll take that.

Private, these sardine smoothies
are top notch. What's your secret?

- Love, sir. I made them with love.
- Love?

It's a chemical reaction in the brain
inducing bliss. Highly addictive.

No more love in the smoothies.
We've gotta stay sharp.

The concrete jungle is an elusive
mistress who may call us into action

- at any given moment.
- Gimme, gimme, gimme!

I said, "Gimme!"

What part of "gim" or "me"
do you not understand?

I understood the "me" part.
Like, this was caught by me, for me!

No!

Maurice? Maurice?

Where are you and your booty, which
is quite large and usually easy to see?



Mort, do not scream at my...

Maurice! He's trapped!

Well, yes. Yes... That is what happens
when you question your king's power.

I question nothing!

I question why you touch the feet!

What have you got to say
for yourself now, Maurice?

You are giving to me
the silent treatment.

You think this no talky stuff
will get to me?

Forget it, Maurice.

I also can give you the treatment.

Talking to a camera. This is not normal.

No, no, no. No more talking.
I'm giving him the... treatment.

- The camera?
- Maurice!

The camera.

Maurice.

Maurice questioned my kingly authority.

So now, he is trapped
inside this magic thingy,

which the sky spirits gifted to me,
the king, from above, up there.

It's not magic. It's a camera.
Here, let me show you...

It is a magic king thing,
which you will not touch!

Do you want to join Maurice in there?

Just try me.
Go ahead, make my day, mister.

All right, boys, let's leave
the madman to his madness.

Spit it out, sad eyes.

The king's giving Maurice the treatment.

He's going to leave him
in the magic box.

You have to help get him out.

Please?

Your lower mammal brains
don't seem to comprende.

That is a camera,
and your little pal is not in it.

But, Skipper, if Maurice isn't here,
where is he?

Missing! Kowalski?

I suggest we enlist Doris the Dolphin
to use her echo-location skills

to track the missing lemur.

Forget it, Kowalski,
she's useless on land.

Besides, Doris only likes you.
She doesn't like you like you.

Now, let's crack this mystery wide open.

We're looking for anything
that might be a clue.

This might be a clue. No, it's just lint.

Kowalski! I said lay off
the love smoothies. Rico?

Hey, mister, that's evidence.

Scuff marks from
a portly lemur. My guess...

He stumbled backwards. But, why?

Perhaps a localized seismic event
of unknown origin.

Or maybe the camera's flash
blinded him?

Sounds a little preposterous, Private.
But just in case...

Kowalski, run a temporarily blinded,
portly lemur scenario. Pronto!

Stand right here, Rico.

Right. Verity it. Carry the one.
No, that's too much.

That confirms our target
landed in this waste receptacle.

I know exactly what happened.
Into the can, men.

- Kowalski, coordinates.
- New Jersey.

Ah, the Garden State. I wish
we had time to play tourist.

All right, listen up. We're going to
search this dump high and low.

- From the rusted tin can...
- Skipper, over here.

How did you...

Nice work, Private! Happy ending!

Come on, Maurice,
don't leave me hanging.

What are you doing here?

- We're here to rescue you.
- You mean take me back to the zoo?

No way. No how.

- We're going for a happy ending here.
- I am happy, now.

I've had it with Julien. He's been
a royal pain in my tail for too long.

"Get me this, get me that. "
Get me out of there!

- Kowalski, reason with him.
- Ah, reason.

I find reason tedious and boring.
We'll use force.

No!

Here, Maurice, just to show you
that I am the bigger lemur...

Not in actual pounds, of course,
but in the other kind of biggerness...

Eat the banana!

Oh, so now
it's a hunger strike too, is it?

You're not going to get to me.

You're not going to get...
Eat the banana!

This is insane! You are insane!

Come on, fifth wheel. Look sharp!

Rico!

Gotta... rest...

No dice. We have to be
back at the zoo by 0900.

- Which does not give us much time.
- We'll just have to go faster.

There is no way I can go faster.

I bet the old D train'll change your tune.

The what?

Stop looking at me like that!
This is not a contest of staring!

And I am shutting up now because
you are still getting the... treatment.

I can't take it anymore!

Okay, fine! You win!

I was wrong about always being right!

And I miss you!

I will give anything to get
my big-bootied buddy back!

- Children.
- Check.

- Bus.
- Check.

- Zoo brochure.
- And, check.

It's a field trip!

All right, boys, we're almost home.
You know what to do.

- I don't think I do.
- Don't get smart with me, soldier.

We're not cutting you any slack
just because you're the new guy.

Now we break poor Maurice
out of his magical prison.

- A little to the left!
- My left or your left?

Mine, of course. I am king.
The lefts are all mine, silly Mort.

Okay!

All right, boys, commence
Operation Shoot The Moon.

Three degrees north, Skipper!

Kowalski, adjust vector!
Rico, stretcher. Lemur, you're up!

I can't take it anymore!
You penguins are psychotic!

Mort, a little more to the left.

Oh, no!

Maurice! I want you back! Come out!

Great sky spirits, hear my plea!

Sounds like somebody's got a case
of the pre-launch heebie-jeebies.

Maurice!

It's good to see you, too.

I am so glad you are back!

But, where did your head go?

Oh, there it is.

- Look, I'll take you over those crazy...
- Mission accomplished.

As if you had anything to do with it.
The sky spirits released Maurice!

You rock, sky spirits!

Why don't you tell him what really
happened, rescued mammal.

Rule number one,
don't question the king, baby.

Private! Whip me up one them
love smoothies. I need to unwind.

Guys, a little help, please!
