Quotes 

• Private : It's okay, Mort. We're not going to hurt you.

  Skipper : Not true, Private. I did authorize lethal force.

• Skipper : What in the name of Eisenhower's oatmeal?

• Skipper : I don't get it. What in the world made me shake my tailfeathers like that?

  Private : Maybe Darla's magic was real.

  Kowalski : Don't be ridiculous, Private. Cold, hard science negates even the possibility of magic.

  Private : Okay, then maybe Skipper has a dancer buried deep inside him.

  Skipper : Magic's real. Case closed.

  Kowalski : But science...

  Skipper : Nope, I said case closed.

• Mort : [Pops out of briefcase]  Case open! REPLACE WITH:

  King Julien : Without the electrically power, the zoo has now become... a jungle! And who is the king of the jungle?

  [silence] 

  King Julien : Okay, I'll give you a hint. He is also the king of the zoo and the outlying mid-town area. And it is me. Okay, no more hints.

  Skipper : Negative! There is no such thing as jungle law.

  King Julien : Oh, really? Perhaps everyone here might want to hear the opinionings of a certified jungle lawyer.

  Maurice : [Wearing a tie and seating next to a briefcase, reading some papers]  Ahem. All hail King Julien! Case closed.

  Mort : [Pops out of briefcase]  Case open!

• Skipper : This is going to end very badly for you, Your Majesty. And when this jungle law does fail, I will have four sweet, sweet words for you.

  King Julien : Oh! "I love King Julien"?

  Skipper : No. "I told you so."

• Skipper : Ah, King Ringtail. I believe I owe you some words.

  Kowalski : In random order, they are: told, I, so, you.

  Skipper : Allow me to unscramble.

• Skipper : Attention, panicky mob! Clearly this is phase one in the space squid invasion. I'd advise you all to keep your heads. Space squids always start with the heads.

  Marlene : Space squids? Guys, I think we're just having a blackout.

  Skipper : That's just what the space squids want us to think, Marlene... if you truly are Marlene.

  Mason : No, I believe she's right. The entire city is suspiciously dark.

  Skipper : Well, I guess that's a perfectly logical explanation for... Hiyah!

  [Grabs Marlene by the ankles and shakes her upside down] 

  Skipper : Show... your... tentacles... you... squid... spy!

  Marlene : Ow! What the...! Let go!

  Skipper : Her story checks out.

• Skipper : Tiny lemur, the feet need you.

• Skipper : Ah, hobby day. It's like taking a regular day and making it a Saturday.

  Private : But Skipper, it is Saturday.

  Skipper : Hmm, it's working already.

• Skipper : This better be life or death, Ringtail, or we can arrange those stakes.

• Skipper : [starts dancing]  That ain't right! Kowalski, analysis.

  Kowalski : Skipper, you seem to be shaking your booty.

  Private : Quite impressively, I might add.

  Rico : Uh-huh!

  Skipper : I'm not doing this. Something's making me dance.

  King Julien : You... you have my groove! It is not all bye-byed after all! Yes!

  Skipper : Get it outta me!

  King Julien : I don't know how.

  Darla : Guess who does.

  Mort : Is it Santa?

  Darla : Yea... what? No! I'm the only one who can fix this. But am I gonna?

  Mort : Santa would.

  Darla : Well, I ain't Santa!

  Private : What if Julien apologized?

  Darla : That's all I'm asking.

  King Julien : Have I not made my policy on apologizing clear? It is for the weak and wrong.

  Skipper : Listen, Ringtail. I'm about to show you how weak and wrong you are. Apologize now.

  King Julien : Uh-uh.

  Skipper : Okay then. Let's dance!

• Skipper : Rigth, men. Jungle law has stunk up our zoo long enough. Time to apply some penguin-scented disinfectant to this mess.

• Skipper : Well, Ringtail, I believe it's time I said a few words.

  Private : Oh, no. He wouldn't. Not now.

  Skipper : I... told... you... that this plan was brilliant!

  King Julien : Say what?

  Skipper : What his Majesty knew was that the biggest danger in a crisis situation was blind panic. So he set up this post-apocalyptic-wasteland scenario to keep our minds off of the blackout. Genius!

• Private : Skipper, you gave up an "I told you so." That's the most noble thing I've ever seen.

  Skipper : Sometimes, Private, you just have to set your sights a little higher.

  King Julien : Yes! Praise me, for I am so much greater than any penguin could ever be!

  Skipper : Rico, set the sights a little higher.

  [Rico launches a watermelon from a catapult; it lands on Julien] 

  King Julien : Aah! I've been meloned!

  Skipper : All hail the king.
