Melman : No, no that's not it. Listen Mototo, you'd better treat this lady like a queen. Because you, you my friend... have found the perfect woman. If I was ever so lucky to find the perfect woman, I would give her flowers every day. And not just any flowers, okay? Her favorites are orchids. White. And I would bring her breakfast every day. Six loaves of wheat bread with butter on both sides. No crusts. Just the way she likes it. I'd be her shoulder to cry on and her best friend. And I'd spend every day thinking of ways to make her laugh. She has the most... amazing laugh. That's what I would do, if I were you. But I'm not. So you do it.
Moto Moto : Uhhh... What? Aaaanyways, where were we?
Gloria : [sigh] I'm huge?

Julien : [after Melman has announced he has only 48 hours to live] If I, King Julien, that's my name, had only two days to live, I would do all the things I always wanted to do.
Melman : Like what?
Julien : I'd become a professional whistler. I'm pretty fantastic right now, but I would do it professionally.
[Tries to whistle, but all that comes out is a long raspberry]
Julien : Another thing I would do is invade a neighboring country, and force my own ideology on them, even if they didn't want it.

Melman : What, you don't have doctors here?
Stephen : Well not any more.
Melman : What if you catch a cold or something.
Additional Giraffe : We go over to the dying holes, and we die.

Melman : Gloria, I just want you to know, back at the zoo, it was never the doctors or the prescriptions that kept me going. It was always you. Seeing you every day, that's what kept me going.

Melman : Gloria!
[sees Gloria and Moto Moto]
Melman : Gloria.
Gloria : Melman.
[Moto Moto turns around puckered]
Gloria : Melman, I... I want you to meet Moto Moto.
Melman : Ah. Moto Moto. Yeah, nice to meet you. Well, I-I guess I...
Gloria : It's ok, Melman. Apology accepted.
Melman : Oh. Yeah, right, yes. That... yes. That's why I... good. Phew. Ok. That's - Well, that's it then.
Moto Moto : You're good. We're kinda busy here, man.

Gloria : Melman, I gotta know, did you mean those things you said about me?
Melman : Of course I did.
Gloria : It's crazy.
Melman : It is?
Gloria : [picks him up and carries him] It's crazy to think I had to go halfway around the world, to find out the perfect guy for me lived right next door.
Melman : Then I guess it's you and me neighbor. You and me for the next 18 hours.
Gloria : I'll take whatever you got.

Julien : Look, Maurice! The perfect spot for my summer palace! Please fill in all these holes and relocate the riff-raff.
[sees Melman in the dying hole]
Julien : Who'd leave a perfectly good head lying around?
Maurice : What a waste.
Melman : Tell me about it. I'm in my prime here. I'm terminal, you know? I probably only have another two days left to live.
Maurice : That's a bummer, man.
-
Melman : Saw. Suture. Swab. You're in my light, Stephen.
Stephen : Say, you've got a brown spot there on your shoulder.
Melman : Yes, that's very observant, Stephen. As you can see, I'm covered in brown spots.
[to Timo]
Melman : OK! That bone will be good as new in a few weeks.
Little Giraffe : So, I don't have to pick out a dying hole?
Melman : No, Timo, you got your whole life ahead of you.
Little Giraffe : Really?
Melman : Go out there and grab it by the horns!
Little Giraffe : Thank you, Dr. Mankiewicz!
Melman : Break a leg! Sweet kid.
