Marlene quotes from The Penguins of Madagascar

Marlene

[about to fight Kowalski and Mason] This otter's about to join the naughty list.

Maurice

[After calling the other zoo animals to the lemur habitat] You’ve all been called here today to dig a proclamation from King Julien himself!

Marlene

[To Burt the elephant] Thirty peanuts says this is about his feet.

Make it forty.

King Julien

[Clears his throat] From this moment that is happening now and on, those who touch the king’s feet, which are mine, will be punished most savagely! [He unfurls a piece of paper with a foot in a “Not allowed” sign] I drew that. Me. I did. [Everyone groans]

Mort

No feet?

Skipper

Well, that’s five minutes of our lives we won’t get back.

Kowalski

Until I get my time machine fully functioning. [Everyone leaves]

Julien

Wait! This is a very serious proclamation that I am proclaiming! [Slaps the “No feet allowed” sign on the volcano] Look! It is posted right here on the plastic volcano! And ANYONE who dares to be touching my beautiful feets shall be banish-ed from my kingdom! FOREVER!!!!!!

Maurice

[Pretending to echo] Ever! Ever. Ever…

Julien

What are you doing?

Maurice

Echoing your for dramatic effect!

Julien

Oh, nice! I like it! Now go to rebuilding my super comfy pamper-time floaty throne! And make it floatier and super comfy! [Maurice leaves]

Mort

[Sadly poking his head out from behind a rock, staring at Julien’s feet] Banished… forever?

Julien

Forever!

Maurice

Ever! Ever! Ever!

Julien

What in the feets are you doing?!?

Mort

I… I… I… You… You… You…

Julien

You… You… You are hereby banish-ed from my kingdom FOREVER!!!! [Looks around] Maurice?!

Maurice

[Late on the echo] Ever! Ever… Wait! You mean Mort’s exiled? For eternity?

Julien

Forever or for eternity! I’m flexible, but the no-feet touching must be of zero tolerance!

You cannot escape us, Mort!

Hug us! We need hugs! [The feet circle around him]

Mort

Shoo! Go away, feet! [Swats the air, pretending to shoo the feet away. Nearby, Marlene watches]

Marlene

Hey, Mort. I heard about the whole foot-banishing thing. If there’s anything I can do to help…

Mort

Fix me! Cure me! Help me! Save me!

Marlene

Whoa! Take it easy, Mort! I’m an otter! Not a miracle worker! But I know someone who can help!

Skipper

[To Mort] Sad Eyes! Fall in! [Mort stands erect like a soldier] Recruit, I’m gonna mold you like a lump of wet clay!

Marlene

Yeah. Good luck with that. [Leaves the Penguins’ hideout]

Mort

Oh, goody! I’m wet clay!

King Julien

If you ask me, the not pretty part was the bad guy running away like a scaredy baby. He was no match for me, Double Agent Spy Guy!

Marlene

[laughs] You're kidding, right?

King Julien

No, Marlene, you are wrong again. Shut it.

Mort

I helped.

Marlene

[in disbelief] Julien the double agent saves the world? Come on. [leaves]

King Julien

[stammers flustered] So, I face danger and the adventure of a lifetime, and nobody will ever know about it?

Skipper

Welcome to my world. That makes you an honorary penguin.

King Julien

Does that mean I am your BFF?

Skipper

Uh... We'll keep that code on the Q.T.

Mort

[runs past] King Julien is a buffalo firefighter!

Marlene

[snaps at Stacy and Becky] Oh, my gosh, will you guys stop badgering me?!

"BADGER?!"

Oh, I wish you hadn't said that.

Is that what you think badgers do, Marlene?! [close-up] BADGER?!

Marlene

[gasps and covers her mouth in shock] I so didn't mean it that way! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean--!

You said it, Marlene! So you must have meant it!

Calm down, Becky, find your happy space! She didn't mean to spew hateful badger stereotypes!

DO YOU THINK BADGERS BADGER, MARLENE?! HUH?! DO YA?! DO YA?! DO YA?! DO YA?!

Marlene

No, no, I was just saying I don't want to play any more silly games, that's all.

[furiously turns to Marlene] Silly...?

Marlene

Ohh...

Marlene

Whoa, whoa, okay, first, we're the decorations committee. Second, uh, Dickens? Did you get a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Been-There-Done-That?

No, no, no. We are the decorations committee. And at least our ideas didn't come from the pages of Winter Hooligan Monthly.

Rico

[reading a Winter Hooligan Monthly magazine] Hey! How did he know that?!
