Quotes 

• The Skipper : No, I can't set foot on Denmark.

  Private : Why not, Skipper?

  The Skipper : Well, that's private, Private, between me and the Danes.

• The Skipper : Say goodbye to Earth, boys.

  Private : But Skipper, Earth has some of my favorite things, like cookies and oxygen.

  The Skipper : ...and brown paper packages tied up in strings. Kowalski, light this candle!

• King Julien : [singing]  Oh, spirit of the night / Who may or may not bite / You bring the otter fright / You bring the otter fright, though you are out of sight / Go away, go away!

  Maurice : Go way away!

  King Julien : I say don't stay!

  Maurice : I say don't stay!

  King Julien : Go away, go away!

  Maurice : Go way away!

  King Julien : I say don't stay!

  Maurice : I say don't stay!

  The Skipper : Come on, men. Let's leave this to the tiny dancer, and get us some shut-eye.

  King Julien : My ghost mojo is working! Can you feel it.

• The Skipper : Greetings, moon cat. We come in peace. For now.

• King Julien : Obviously, this is a new ghost, since the old ghost was eliminated by me, your king.

  The Skipper : Your little song and dance did bubkes!

  King Julien : Oh? And what did you do? Double bubkes! So shut up.

• The Skipper : Kowalski, status report.

  Kowalski : I'm randomly pushing buttons while we spin out of control, Skipper.

  The Skipper : Can I push one? I might feel better.

• The Skipper : Ooh, aren't you boys tardy to the party?

• The Skipper : Talk to me, Kowalski.

  Kowalski : These readings are off the charts!

  The Skipper : Well, get bigger charts then. Take it out of petty cash.

• The Skipper : It's knock-knock time, Rico.

  [Rico spits out a lit stick of dynamite] 

  Marlene : Isn't this kinda, um... extreme?

  The Skipper : No, two sticks of dynamite would be extreme. This'll just let the specter know we mean business.

• The Skipper : So we didn't go lunar?

  Kowalski : Seems I forgot to carry the two.

• The Skipper : Our turn, boys. Commence Operation: Our Turn.

• Kowalski : Lucky break you were there to rescue Marlene, Skipper.

  The Skipper : Actually, I didn't so much rescue Marlene so much as...

  Marlene : Umm?

  The Skipper : Well, let's just say if I'm ever caught in a swirling current of raw sewage, I just hope Marlene is by my side.

  Marlene : Oh, that's so sweet... I think.

• The Skipper : Gentlemen, we need a vacation. A vacation from that lemur.

  Private : Perhaps we could visit a zoo. They have pandas and hippos and a lovely house of reptiles.

  The Skipper : Private, you do realize we live in a zoo.

  Private : But we could visit a different zoo.

  The Skipper : Rico?

  [Rico slaps Private upside the head] 

• The Skipper : Gentlemen, we are going to the moon.

  [Private raises his hand] 

  The Skipper : And no, there's no zoo on the moon.

• Mort : But I don't want to go into the haunted place!

  King Julien : Be brave, Mort, like me.

  Roger : Hello!

  [the lemurs run away screaming] 

  Roger : What's the matter with the guy in the funny hat?

  The Skipper : I wish I knew, Roger. I wish I knew.

• The Skipper : Gentlemen, I give you the Penguin One.

  Private : Is it safe, Skipper?

  [a piece falls off the rocket] 

  The Skipper : Kowalski?

  Kowalski : Technically speaking, maybe.

• Kowalski : According to rumors, the previous occupant of this habitat did disappear...

  Private : ...under mysterious circumstances!

  Marlene : He was transfered, to Toledo.

  Mort : [scared]  Toledo?

  [All look scared] 

  The Skipper : [Holding a flashlight under his face]  Ohio!

  [Mort screams and runs away, slamming into a wall] 

• The Skipper : It's some kind of monster from the darkest abyss!

• The Skipper : Looks like we've got an intruder, boys. Commence Operation: Hammerhead.

  King Julien : Excuse me, hammer whose head, exactly?

• Kowalski : It appears the ghostly death rattle is coming from your own respiratory system.

  Marlene : Uh, yeah, of course. Can anybody spit it out in English?

  [Rico lies down and snores] 

  Marlene : Snoring? I don't snore.

  [Skipper plays back the tape of Marlene snoring] 

  The Skipper : Mystery solved. You spooked yourself.

  Marlene : That wasn't the scary sound.

  The Skipper : Oh, come on. It's bloodcurdling!

• The Skipper : We are in the mysterious realm of the specter.

  Marlene : It's a sewer.

  The Skipper : *Haunted* sewer.
