Africa Reunion

Alex: How! How! Me Alex! Me and me friends fly, fly in great metal bird. Then plummet! Smash ground! Go boom! Then here we emerge. We offer only happiness and good greetings.

Hippo: Is he dancing about a plane crash?

Alex: Yeah. We just... yeah. I thought... Sorry.

Giraffe: You mean you came from off the reserve?

Alex: Yeah, way off. From the Central Park Zoo, actually.

Christian: (Chuckles nervous) We don't know him.

[A loud roar caused the zoo animals to turn. It came from a male lion named Zuba. He coughed as he cleared his throat. Followed by his is his wife Florrie]

Florrie: Don't strain yourself.

Zuba: What's going on here? What's all this hubbub?

Elephant: They say they're from off the reserve.

Zuba: That's impossible. Only people come from off the reserve.

Alex: You look familiar. Do I know you?

Zuba: How could you possibly survive the hunters?

Gloria: Hunters?

Zuba: What are you looking at?!

Alex: Me? Nothing.

Zuba: This watering hole doesn't need any more mouths to feed. So skedaddle back to wherever you came from.

Alex: Okay. Well, Is there a manager we could talk to?

Zuba: Oh, I see. You're here to challenge me!

Alex: What? No! No.

Zuba: Well, that's what it looks like to me!

Florrie: Zuba! Wait.

Zuba: I'm trying to take care of business...

Florrie: Yeah, yeah, Zuba. Hold on. Alakay? Is that you?

Alex: No, it's Alex. lx. Like New York Knicks.

Florrie: Zuba, look!

Alex: Oh. I've always had that. The vet checked it out. It's kind of a beauty spot, really.

Zuba: A mark.

Alex: All right, this is a little weird.

Zuba: Honey, he's come home.

Alex: What?

Zuba: You've come home.

Alex: Whoa!

Zuba: Son.

Alex: Dad. Mom and Dad? Mom and Dad! Mom and Dad!

Zuba: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! (Laughing)

Alex: It's my mom and dad! I got a mom and dad!
