    Marty: Alex, be careful! She's crazy!
    [Gia, Vitaly, and Stefano hang their heads missing the Zoosters when Julien staggers in]
    Julien: Sonya baby! I don't wanna be king anymore. What really matters is what we smell like together! Forgive me?
    [Sonya places Julien in her mouth]
    Julien: Hello?
    Kowalski: [grabs a tranquilizer dart from Julien's tail] GASP! It's DuBois!
    Skipper: Baba booey! [turns to Julien] Where'd you get this?
    Julien: I got it from the zoo!
    Skipper: The hippies got ambushed!
    Gia: What? We have to help them!
    Esmeralda: But they lied to us.
    Jonesy: Yeah, why should we lend a paw?
    Gia: They are our friends!
    Jonesy: They're not even circus.
    Vitaly: That's Bolshevik!
    [The dogs are now convinced]
    Skipper: I'd never thought I'd say this on American soil, but the Russki's right!
    [Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman wake up back in their zoo enclosures]
    Alex: Oh, no.
    Marty: Alex? Where are you?
    Gloria: What is happening?
    Melman: Gloria, Are you okay?
    Mayor: The king of New York City...
    Marty: Alex!
    Alex: No, no, no!
    Mayor: ...Alex the Lion!
    [Alex runs onto his cement rock, the crowd cheers outside his enclosure. Alex turns and looks at Marty, Gloria and Melman]
    Mayor: Thank you, thank you all for coming to this special celebration. And now, the woman who made this all possible, who brought Alex the Lion and a couple of... 3? 3 other animals back to New York, and she's French. Ooh-la-lah. Please welcome Chantel DuBois!
    [Walking onto the stage, DuBois smirks at Alex. His eyes widen. DuBois steps behind the podium, her Animal Control officers standing at attention behind her. The mayor presents DuBois with a oversized check for a million dollars. She rips the check in half, then drops it to the ground. Looking downward, DuBois opens a small briefcase, then pulls out a dart with a skull and crossbones on it]
    Marty: Alex!
    [Alex watches in horror as DuBois picks up the poison dart, drops it into her gun, then places the gun inside a giant foam hand. She taps the microphone]
    DuBois: It was never about the money. It was about... [she holds up the foam hand] ...the lion.
    [DuBois points the hand at Alex. Alex raises his arms. DuBois fires! As the dart sails toward Alex, Gia swings in and pulls him out of the way, and the dart hits a streetlamp]
    Alex: Gia?
    Gia: Circus stick together.
    [Alex grins]
    Marty: Da-da da-da-da-da-da-da, circus Da-da da-da-da-da-da-da, Afro Circus Afro, Circus Afro Polka dot, polka dot, polka dot, Afro!

    Private: Aye, aye, Skipper!
    Skipper: Unleash the seal.
    Stefano: I am a sea lion!
    Skipper: Whatever. Two tons of fun. Dive, dive, dive!
    Melman: Let's rock.
    Gloria: You and me, baby!
    Marty: Wow!
    Vitaly: Suck in that gut!
    Marty: I am impressed!
    Skipper: Mission accomplished. Now let's get out of here!

    Alex: Stefano!
    Stefano: Don't leave without me!

    [Stefano screams and runs. Dubois chases after Stefano]
    Gia: Go, Stefano! Climb! [Vitaly makes stairs for Stefano using blades]
    Vitaly: Come on, my friend! [DuBois catches him and yanks him back down to the ground] Stefano!
    Stefano: Help me!
    Dubois: I will have your head!
    Stefano: Oh, no! Help me!
    Gia: Alex!
    Alex: Marty! Shoot me a line.
    Marty: You got it. Afro, don't fail me now!

    Dubois: If I am goin' down, your head is coming with me!
    Alex: I don't think so! [whistles]
    Jonesy: Oi, Let's go! [he and Frankie blast off]
    Alex: You're going down, but not with my head! [the dogs pick Alex up and blast up before he lands in the penguin habitat]
    Stefano: Jet pack, he pull up!
    Alex: Your days of chasing animals are over, DuBois, because you just messed with the KING! [throws DuBois to his caged habitat and DuBois roars angrily over her defeat, as the spectators cheer.] This is where animals like you belong! Now sit! [DuBois gets shot in the butt with a dart. She falls to her knees] Lie down. [DuBois lies down, revealing Maurice and Mort; Mort is holding the gun]
    Mort: [laughs] Naughty me!
    Alex: Roll over. [DuBois rolls over off the rock] Good DuBois. Now stay!
    Gia: We did it!
    [Gia and Alex smiles]
    Stefano: Balloons to the children of the world! Trapeze Americano!
    Vitaly: It is real.
