[In Africa, a male adult lion named Zuba was playing with his infant son Alakay.]
Zuba: No, no, son. Over here. See the lion? Look at the lion and get the lion. (Sighs and grunts) Now, son, if you're gonna grow up and be like your daddy someday, you gotta learn how to fight.
Alakay: Da-da.
Zuba: [Chuckles] Now, Alakay, let me show you something, OK? You see this mark? You and me are the same. When you're bigger, you'll wanna be an Alpha Lion, just like your daddy. Now let me see you fight. Ready? No, Alakay. No dancing! You just amuse yourself, don't you? You're a strange kid. You're a strange one. I'm... (Laughing) Now, come on, let's try it again. No, Alakay. Stop that right now. Doggone it!
[From the bushes, a male lion with a stylish mane comes up. His name is Makunga.]
Makunga: It's so disappointing when they don't grow up the way you want to.
Zuba: Makunga. You're not challenging me again, are you?
Makunga: Look on the bright side, Zuba. After I defeat you and take over as the alpha lion, you'll have so much more time to spend with your pathetic excuse of a son.
Zuba: Before I kick your butt, let me ask you: Why do you even want to become the alpha lion?
Makunga: I'm better looking, I have better hair, I'm deceivingly smart.... and I want everyone else to do what I say.
Zuba: (Groans)
Makunga: We'll fight on three. One...
Zuba: Pay attention, Alakay. Daddy will show you how it's done.
Makunga: Two, three!
[Zuba starts fighting Makunga while Alakay continued playing with the butterfly. He saw a small rope and Alakay followed it.]
Zuba: Who's the alpha lion?
Makunga: You are.
Zuba: Don't you forget it. And that, Alakay, is how you attack... Alakay?
[Alakay followed yhe rope until he was trapped by hunters]
Hunter: That's it. Here, kitty, kitty.
Hunter 2: This one's a beauty. He'll be worth a few bucks.
Hunter: It just gets easier and easier.
Alakay: Daddy!!
Zuba: Alakay! Alakay! ALAKAY!!!!
Alakay: Da-da!
Zuba: No! No! No!!! Alakay!
Alakay: Daddy!
Zuba: Alakay! Daddy's got you! Hold on!
[When Zuba unleashes the ropes to free his son, the hunter shots him by his ear bleeding]
Alakay: Da-da! (Whimpers)
[And when the truck turns around the corner, the box with Alakay starts to fell in the river.]
Zuba: ALAKAY!!!!
Alakay: Daddy!
[The title card appears as the music The Traveling Song by Will-I-am begins]
I've been around the world in the pouring rain. Feeling out of place, really feeling strange. Take me to a place where they know my name. 'Cause I ain't met nobody that looks the same. I'm a fish out of water, lion out of the jungle. (He's a fish out of water, lion out of the jungle). I need my peoples, my peoples, take me to my peoples. (They got jungle fever, show him some love, show him love). Just gotta have someone. Gotta have someone. To relate to, to relate to. I'm feeling right at home. Feeling right at home. Feeling right at home. Feeling right at home. I've found a brand new home. See I been traveling. Been traveling forever...
Baby Marty: I don't like the looks of this guy.
Baby Gloria: Well, I think he's kind of cute.
Baby Marty: I think he's kind of a showoff.
Baby Melman: Y-You think he's cute? (Coughs)
[Baby Alex keeps dancing on the rock to the people and leaps!]
All: Whoa!
[And when Baby Alex prepares a land, many days later, he became all grown up and becomes a big star!]
Adult Alex: Roar!!!
Announcer: The King of New York City.... Alex the Lion!
Marty: Whoo-hoo! I still think he's kind of a showoff.
Melman: You gotta give it to him. The guy's an animal.
Marty: Maybe he should take a break. You know, we could all use a vacation.
Gloria: Come on, where on Earth would we go on vacation?
Marty: I don't know about you, but I want to go to Connecticut!
[The scene changes to the events of what happened in the first film]
News Anchor Woman #1: On the loose, several animals, including the world famous Alex the Lion, the king of New York, escaped from the Central Park Zoo tonight. The escapes were finally cornered in Grand Central Station.
Nana: He was a very bad kitty.
News Anchor Woman #2: Animal rights activists who convinced zoo officials to have the escaped animals sent to Africa, were stunned to learn that the shipping freighter carrying the animals was reported missing today.
News Anchor Man: Tonight, hundreds of New Yorkers have gathered at the Central Park Zoo to mourn the loss of their beloved zoo animals, the question on everyone's mind-- where are they now?
...
[And in the meantime back at Madagascar, Alex and his gang are dancing to the beat of preparing a blast off to their home of New York by an Airplane of Air Penguin]

Alex: (Chuckles) Oh, no, thank you.
King Julien: Yes, thank you. It's my plane! Until I return with the spoils from the new country....Stevie will be in charge!
Maurice: I don't think they like that idea so much, Julien.
King Julien: What is that you saying, Stevie? No. Could we? No, you didn't say that! How is that even possible? Naughty little thing! Stevie says... (Speaking in gibberish language) Let them eat cake!
Mort: King Julien, wait for me! I'm all packed! I have a whole itinerary planned!
King Julian: Oh, no! It's Mort! He's so annoying! Don't let him on. Stop that thing! He's carrying scissors and hand cream!

Skipper: That has to be the second biggest slingshot I've ever seen. But It's gonna have to do. Attention. This is your captain speaking.
Private: In the event of an emergency, place the vest over your head then kiss your... good-bye.
Christian: Oh Yeah!
Gloria: New York City, here we come, baby!
