"Darling, this is a work of art." "I call it "Macaroni and Cheese"." "It would suit you too, Giselle." "A neck wax wouldn't hurt, either." "No, thanks." "Hmm..." "Mm-hmm..."

" Hello, Bonnie." "You look lovely." "We're, erm..." "What are we doing?" "Walking around, thinking, talking..." "Hitting hyena poo into a hole." "That as well." "I was just going to tell you."

"Where's the beast, huh?" "Ahh!" "Cannonball!" "Ha-ha-ha..." "Jaw." "Come on." "Over here!" "No!" "No!" "You must know, I saved your life on my lunch break, humph!"

"Ah, right here you have water!" " So now if you would get out." " One thing." "Why on earth did you help us by hiding us in here?" "Because with Hunter, you would have been killed." "So, I see." "You are one of us, after all." "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" "I was born in a Brooklyn zoo - not that you know what that means." "I'm very, very sorry but you're dead wrong and I am certainly not who you think I am!" "I am not one of your kind for sure!" "We need water!" "I mean lots of water!" "For all of us!" "Good." "Then we go over to the dam, open the floodgates, and run the water to your valley." "And then you folks get lost!" "And so what we have created is what we like to call an oasis of peace." "In total harmony with nature, which is of course the key, and that's called ecological tourism." "The result: guaranteed sustainability, with enough electricity generated to power several cities." "You can imagine the benefits for the local economy." "You should imagine what that means for the poor animals that live downstream." " Erm..." " They're dying of thirst without water!" "Maya, go to your room at once." "You know nothing of this." "It's always about money, right?" "That's all you ever think about." "These kids..." "Go figure." "And now, if you would follow me into the complex interior." "I'll go in there, open the spout, then I'll come back out." "Meanwhile, you make sure you do not move from this spot!" "Yoo-hoo!" "Yes!" "As you can imagine, the most modern and stringent security measures are utilised in this most sensitive of areas." "Everything is state of the art and hermetically sealed." "Unauthorised access is totally out of the question." "Socrates!" "Oh, I feel rather woozy." "I'm coming!" "Ooh..." "Oh, no!" "Oh, no!" "Not again!" "Raaah!" "Raaah!" "Come, if you are man enough to do it!" "En garde." "Hmm..." "Thanks." "Oh, no, that's totally not fair." "No, no, no!" "Brave veterans, can you stand the pace?" "We're fine, thank you."

"The 'eroism of the tortoises has saved us all, but without water all that awaits us is certain death." "And we are doomed if we go back to free Socrates and release the water." "We are much too weak." "Then we have to get help!" "We'll call all the animals of the Savannah." "Excellent, weasel!" "Daddy?" "What are you doing with the lion?" "Maya, Daddy has no time for this right now." "Set the lion free right now!" "There is nothing I can possibly do." "The lion is dangerous and we can't just let it loose to run around all over the place." "And besides, I've already sold the lion to a casino in Las Vegas." "Humph!" "You have successfully penetrated the security zone, while your friends have disappeared in the drink." "You!" "Looks like you're the lucky one." " Smith sold you to a casino in Las Vegas." " Las WHAT?" "You hit the jackpot." "Top of the mountain!" "I've always dreamed of doing an appearance in Las Vegas, just once." "Huh?" "I'm not hungry." "Drink." "It'll taste a lot better." "Oh, Mum, did you have something to drink?" "Of course I did!" "You're a really bad liar, you know." "Junior?" "This is my water hole, crocodile bait!" " So?" " You go find your own puddle, si?" "Or you can find my horn!" "Instead I'll use your horn as a toenail clipper, OK?" "You're asking for it." "300 pounds, and not an ounce of brain in their fat heads." "On three." "One..." "Two..." "Three... go!" "No!" "Hey, look!" "Aw..." "Mum!" "Hold on, sweetheart." "STOP!" "Haven't you idiots got anything better to do?" " Erm, nope." " Eh, no." "Have you ever thought why you two are fighting in the first place?" "Naturally." "Because..." " Eh... 'cause..." " Mm-hmm...?" " What do you think, Biggie?" " Hey, I don't know." "Just as I thought." "From now on, go and play your juvenile games somewhere else!" "Got it?" "Hmm?" "!" "Let's go talk to Angie." "She is actually the president of Okavango." "A female president!"

"Ahem!" "'Ello, the name is..." "Charles." "Charles!" "My, my, what a lovely name!" "By the way, the oppressive 'eat can do nothing to 'ide your noble and sublime beauty." "Ooh!" "Mmm!" "If I may be so bold, you seem to 'ave been blessed with a delightful nose." "Mmm..." "So soft!" "And the most silky trunk!" "Pooh!" "Go marry her, then." "We must call a conference." "Tout de suite!" " A conference?" " A gathering of all the animals." "There we must figure out 'ow this hero of yours was able to discover the water." "I have a hero?" "Erm, who is it?" " Yoo-hoo!" " Billy?" "Hmm..." "Then someone's got to blow the great horn!" "Dad?" "!" "Mm." "There is a great gathering of the animals in two hours, called a conference." "You don't want to be late!" "I'm on my way!" "Ugh!" "Let's see, two hours." "I know I can do it." "Thank heaven for shortcuts." "Well, look who's here." "It's the lightweight!" "Hey, Biggie." "What's so funny, carrot top, eh?" "We are all gathered together to discuss our precarious situation." "As you all may know, this is our first great historical animal gathering." "For the duration of the proceedings, no-one will inflict harm upon another!" " Fine by me!" " Meerkats only really count as snacks!" "No one is allowed to touch anyone!" "Eh?" "Billy?" "Your report." "Yeah." "So, here's the scoop." "Uh, I found the water, cool." "Who cares what that worm has to say?" "He's nothing but a squashed fly on my hoof, sí?" "Problem is, the water's trapped way up in Leopard Canyon, by these massive stones." "It was the leopard?" "!" "No it was because of a bunch of strange, ugly creatures, naked, without any fur!" "Oh, that's gross!" "We're talking bloodthirsty, awful beasts." "They call themselves humans!" "What a pile of garbage!" "And since when did we ever listen to the drivel from a meerkat?" "Chino is a dumb buffalo, but for once he's got a point." "Mon ami." "This, well, meerkat has shown more courage than all of you combined." "Oh, such big words coming from you, you... .. you little half-pint." "Do you 'ave any idea what this little 'alf-pint has been through?" "Do you just know 'ow many of my comrades I 'ave lost?" "The things I 'ave seen from a dark dungeon, where my kind and I were locked up only to languish in the smallest of cells, while wondering if we were to end up on a skewer?" "Or perhaps a burgundy sauce?" "Mankind treats us like... animals!" "Well, that certainly was clear as mud." "And that's why we have to do something!" "We have to free up the water now!" "Er, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean we have to go through the..." "Valley of Death?" "!" "The water has always come, and it will come this time." "We just have to wait." "The water is not simply water." "It is the blood of our forefathers." "Come on, what's with these two old-timers!" "These two tortoises know mankind better than any other alive!" "And, of course, much, much longer." " Good..." " ... evening." "My name is Winston and... .. I am called Winifred." "We were born more than 700 years ago... .. on an island located deep within the Pacific Ocean." "In all that time, we have come across many human beings." "They have stolen and have murdered and destroyed everything many, many times." "And we let it happen." "And because of this, we have lost everything." "Our beloved home is sadly no more." "Where once were blooming flowers of all colours is now dry and arid." "Where once the very air vibrated with the twittering of thousands of kinds of birds is now only silence." "Where once seals and the beasts of the ocean bobbed in the waves, all life is now at an end." "Galápagos, our wondrous home, is now little more than a wretched, black, dark and oily mass." "The entire world is nothing more than a black, dark and oily mass." "Except for this place here." "But if you do nothing to stop it, this place too will become no more than a blackened stain." "For Man is a thief who comes in the night and takes what he wants from the land." "He is like a snake who eats his own tail to survive." "But the Earth does not belong to Man." "He's only a tiny part of it." "Man did not weave the fabric of life." "He's but a thread within it, for we all share the same breath." "The rising mists of the lush green forests, the refreshment of the rocky mountain breezes, the perfumed scent of the wind after a cooling shower of rain, the plants, Man and we, the animals." "What Man doesn't realise is what he does to the land he ultimately does to himself, and when the land is finally destroyed and the animals are either driven out or killed," "Man will rule over the Earth alone." "Then, lost and forlorn, he too will be wiped from the face of the Earth." "But that is a cold comfort to us now, for every one of you will perish if you don't defend yourselves against humanity." "My dear, you spoke wisely and with great care." "Well, that's because they were your thoughts that I spoke." "What you spoke was greater than every thought." "And still all meaningless, compared to my many years with you, our years together." "It's been wonderful." "Good." "So good..." "Winnie?" "Winnie?" "Winston and Winifred have gone to sleep for the last time." "But they live on in all our dreams and in our hearts." "The day 'as come." "Madame, we are waiting on your command." "But shouldn't we consult the oracle first?" "I don't think so, dear." "Been there, done that." " So, to battle!" " And down with the beast!" "And down with the beast!" "Allons!" "Et vive la liberté!" "Well!" "The least they could have done is consult the oracle." "I get no respect!" "What happened to tradition?" "It's a disgrace!" "Did you hear what I heard?" "We've all been asking for advice from that guy?" "A hairdresser who talks from both sides of his mouth at the same time?" "A proud army, to be sure, Madame." "It is a true honneur to be allowed to march with you." "Yes, we're proud, but are we strong enough?" "Remember, the buffalo and the rhino didn't come along." "The 'eroic courage of our brave soldiers will make up for them." "Socrates, hang in there." "We're coming!" "How about those who don't have a banana milkshake?" "Or a drop of water?" "Hey, I can read you like a book." "You wanna make me feel all guilty so that I'll help you escape." "But you're wasting your time." "I can't do anything." "The big guy with the rifle's got the key to the cage." "Here I am, confined to a cage, but yet somehow I remain free." "You are outside, but you're not really free at all." "Are you?" "Hmm...?" "So..." "Duty calls!" "Just go." "Playing monkey must be fun."
