08x07 - The Final Furtier

[bunniefuu]

[Gloria] Places!

[laughing]

[Alex] Oh!

[Alex] Marty!

I came up with a
new paw-ball rule,

when one team gets a point,

the other team has to spin
around until they get dizzy!

Huh? Marty?

[Pickles] Marty's not here.

He said somethin' about a
Park Ranger Horse meeting.

[Alex] Oh. Well, no problem!

I'll play with Gloria.

[Pickles] She's salsa
dancing with Pilar and Pedro.

[Alex] In that case, Mel...

[Alex screams]

[Pickles] The tall
one's gone too.

[Alex] So I'm the only
one without plans?

You know what, that's fine.
I don't need a team...

for this team sport.

Nice serve, Alex!

Melman! Use your neck!

Trot, trot, trot.

Cover me, Marty!

That was out, Gloria!

Hmm.

Check your eyes,
Alex! It was good!

[Pickles] He does
need a hobby.

[Alex] Ups, that
was Gloria's serve!

[bells toll]

Mornin', best mammals!

Another new day, another
chance for adventure!

What do you wanna do today?

[Gloria] What's the rush?

[Alex] Excited to spend
time with my friends.

We could go to Coney Island? Or
watch the baseball game or...

Ooh! Try an Escape Room?

[Marty] Got any short
and sweet ideas?

My morning's free, but I'm
meeting Ranger Hoof after lunch.

[Gloria] I have
plans later, too!

I'm practicing my big, two-bird
dance lift with Pedro and Pilar.

[Marty] Trot, trot,
trot. Trot, trot, trot.

[Melman] I'm listening in
on my first paramedic test!

How's my listening face?

[groaning]

[Alex] You're all leaving again?
But you all did that yesterday!

[Marty] When you love
something, you don't do it once.

[Gloria] That's right!
When I do what I love,

I just can't stop.

[Alex] But what
about our adventures?

Don't you love those, too?

[Marty] Trot, trot, trot.

[Alex sighs]

[Kate hums]

[Kate] Morning, friends!

[Alex] Finally someone I can
rely on to always be there...

[Kate] Your bubble
baths will have to wait.

I'm teaching a seminar
at the Science Center.

But wanted to say
goodbye before I left!

[Kate chuckles]

[Alex] Even Kate's
leaving me behind?

[Kate] The Nature Channel should help
keep you occupied while I'm gone.

My cat Lemon loves this show.

Something about those penguins.

Adorable, yet mischievous.

[Dave squeaks]

[Pickles] No way, I don't wanna
watch another banana bread bakeoff!

It's my turn.

[Pickles groans]

You let go first!

You're gonna break it!

[Mary Sue] Good
Morning, New York!

[Melman] I wanna
see the penguins!

[Mary Sue] Are you lookin' for a
once-in-a-lifetime adventure to share with friends?

[Alex] How'd she know?

[Todd] How about two
once-in-a-life-time adventures?

You could watch
the Green Giraffes

in the playoffs for the
first time in 80 years.

[Mary Sue] Or go to
New York's Space Center

and celebrate
today's big launch!

[Todd] There'll be zero-G
rides, astronaut ice cream,

and a front row seat to watch
veteran space chimp Thelma

ride her rocket into space!

[Marty] An animal in space?

[Melman] I'd love to
get her pawtograph.

[Alex] Hmmm. You know
what, Melman? You're right!

You should get her pawtograph!

[Melman] Wait, how?

[Alex] We'll go see her at the
Space Center, before launch!

[Gloria] A space launch
does sound amazing.

I'm not meeting the parrots
'til this afternoon.

[Marty] I have time
before my meeting.

[Alex] And you never
know, once we're there

you might forget about all the
other things you have planned.

And we can spend the
whole day together,

like we used to.

[Melman] Oh! My book's gonna be touched
by the same hands that touched the moon!

- Thanks, Alex!
- [Alex] Oh, prr.

That's what friends are
for. Let's blast off!

- [Marty] Yes!
- [Gloria] Uh-huh!

[man] Green Giraffes...

Cloaca!

[Melman] Hey, isn't
that Kate's tablet?

[Pickles] He means
I'm borrowing it.

Oh...

[Dave squeaks]

Today's toll payment is easy.

We'll take your
Green Giraffes hats!

[Alex] Sounds great, we can
grab new disguises in the city!

[Gloria] I've never heard
you talk about baseball.

[Pickles] What can I say, the
Giraffes are having a great season!

[Alex] Yeah!

[laughing]

[Marty] Wahoo!

- [Melman] Yeah!
- [Gloria] Wee!

[Alex] Now that's more like it.
The Zoo Crew is back together!

[Alex] Thelma's meet-n-greet
doesn't start for a while.

So we can hit the
zero gravity ride,

and catch a planetarium
show in the meantime!

[Marty] I'm impressed.

Usually I'm the one to
keep us all on schedule.

[Alex] I'm just excited
to spend the whole day

with my best friends!

- [Gloria] The whole morning.
- [Alex] Right.

After we get Melman Thelma's
pawtograph, of course.

Unless, you know, we
see a bunch of other

once-in-a-lifetime activities
that keep us here awhile.

[Marty] As long
as we're quick.

Ranger Hoof does not like when
I'm t*rd to a planting party.

You must have other things
to do today too, right?

[Alex] Pfft. Of course I have
other stuff to do, like, uh...

space!

It's kinda my thing.

Stick around and you'll get
to see me in my element today.

[Gloria] Space? But I thought
your thing was acting?

You love the stage!

[Alex] Sure, but what's a
bigger stage than space?

Just you wait, I'm gonna
become the first lion in space.

[Marty] That's my main mammal!

I always knew you were
meant for big things.

[Alex] Yep. No more getting
left behind for this cat.

[Gloria] What was that?

[Alex] I said this cat's
sh**ting for the stars!

And an astronaut's only
as good as his crew.

So what do you say, crew?

[all laugh]

- [Alex] Wow!
- [Melman] Oh!

[Gloria] Whoa.

[Marty] This must be
the line to meet Thelma!

[Melman] Can't...
quite... see... ugh...

[Melman gasps]

[Little girl] Thank you!

- [Docent] Next.
- [Melman] There's Thelma!

I can finally get
her pawtograph!

[Alex] This line is moving
quicker than I thought.

I mean, I've got so much to
ask her about space travel!

I gotta get up there.

- [Fan dad] Let's go, T.J.
- [Docent] Next!

[All giggle]

[Thelma] Aren't you adorable.

And furry.

[Alex] Uh, hi, Thelma!

We came all the way from
our habitat in Central Park

to spend the day togeth... I
mean, to get your autograph.

[Marty] Miss Thelma? Our friend Melman would
love for you to sign his pawtograph book.

[Thelma] Of course,
big fella! Come here.

[Melman] Woah. Moon hands...

[Thelma] Hey, you're
a Giraffes fan!

I've been a fan of
them my whole life,

and this is their first
World Series since 1943!

But while they're
sliding into first,

I'll be sliding
outta the atmosphere.

Guess I'll have to
catch them next century.

[Marty] You'd rather watch a
baseball game than go to space?

[Thelma] Not usually but
this isn't your usual game.

Still, if I gotta miss a series,

at least I'll be missing
it from outer space.

The stories I could tell ya!

[Melman] I wish
I could hear 'em,

but now that I got my
pawtograph, thank you again!

I should get to studying.

[Gloria] Pedro and
Pilar are expecting me.

But I'd love to hear Thelma's
adventures, some other time!

[Alex] Marty? Come on, can't
you stay a little longer?

[Marty] Sorry, bud. Today was
fun, but I gotta do my own thing.

Have fun doing yours.

Space really does
look good on you.

[Melman] See you
back at home, Alex!

[Alex] Bye...

[Docent] Last one.

[Adult fan] Thanks!

[Thelma sighs]

[Alex gasps]

[Alex] Thelma, I
wanna go to space

and you wanna watch
the World Series.

Why not solve both
problems at once?

[Thelma] Whatcha
got in mind, kitten?

[Alex] Wait! You can't go...

- [Marty] What's up?
- [Melman] Why not?

[Alex] Because I'm
going to space!

[Marty] You're what?

[Melman] I get it, Alex.
Sometimes I need space, too.

[Gloria] Melman,
I think he means

launch-into-the-solar-system
kinda space?

[Marty] Nah. He's just
messing with us. Right, Alex?

[Alex] Not at all. You're all off
doing your own things and so am I.

Today. On the moon.

[Thelma] Okay,
enough chit chat.

You've got a suit to put on, a shuttle
to catch, and a moon to land on.

The bus will pick you up over there
and take you to the launchpad.

[Marty] This is
really happening?

[Thelma] No, silly!
In 39 minutes.

Oh, and word to the wise?

Use the little kitty's
room before you go,

it's a long flight.

[Alex] That's it? Aren't you gonna
teach me everything I need to know?

[Thelma] You'll be fine!

I gotta get word to
my niece and nephew

that I can watch the Green
Giraffes game with them after all!

But I'll be back to see you
off with everything you need.

Astronaut ice cream.

[Gloria] If you're
really leaving today,

I guess we should
skip our plans...

[Alex] I'll go suit up. Then we can
ride the bus together to the shuttle...

[Marty] Are you sure
this is a good idea?

Going to space all by yourself?

[Alex] You all have your
things, can't I have mine?

[Gloria] Sure you can! I guess we just
figured it would be on this planet.

[Alex] I knew I could count on
you! Now I gotta go suit up.

Meet you at the shuttle stop.

We'll have a going
away shin-dig!

[Loudspeaker] Transport to
launchpad departing in five minutes.

[Alex] Wait 'til my friends
get a load of me in this!

[Ant'ney screams]

[Ant'ney] Alex, is that you?

[Alex] Ant'ney, what
are you doing here?

[Ant'ney] Had to come
see my old pal Thelma off

for her launch today.

[Thelma] Hiya, space kitten.
Got your astronaut ice cream!

[Alex] Thanks!

[Ant'ney] What are you doing in
Thelma's suit? This some kinda photo op?

[Alex] No. I'm taking
Thelma's place, in space.

[Thelma] Ain't it grand?

I get to see the Giraffes play their
first championship game in 80 years,

and Alex gets to
leave the atmosphere!

[Ant'ney] That sounds fun!
What's the g*ng think about this?

[Alex] You can ask them,
they'll be here any minute.

[Ant'ney] Really? 'Cause I just
saw 'em leavin' the Space Center.

[Alex] They were leaving?

[Ant'ney] Said they had
important things to do.

[Alex] More important than me?

[Shuttle driver] All board!

[Alex] Guess that's it,
then. Goodbye, Ant'ney.

Think of me when you
look at the stars.

[Alex sighs]

[All] Wait!

[Alex] Huh?

You came back!

[Marty] Sorry we're late.
We had to get this for you!

- [Alex] Huh?
- [Melman] Since you're going so far away,

we put together a box of a
few things you might need.

[Gloria] You didn't think we'd let
you leave without saying goodbye?

[Alex] Uh, no...
of course not.

- [Marty] We're so proud of you.
- [Melman] Yeah!

You're gonna be the most
famous lion in the universe!

[Alex] Yeah. Thanks. So,
this is really it, huh?

I guess I'll see you in...

Thelma? How long do these
trips usually last...

a couple of days?

[Thelma] I can't remember
exactly how many years...

[All] Years?

[Thelma] The internet didn't exist
when my last launch happened.

[Melman] Gee, that sounds
like a long time, Alex.

[Marty] Are you sure
you wanna do this?

[Horn honks]

[Thelma] Time to go!

[Gloria] We'll miss you, Alex.

[Marty] See you when
you get back, buddy.

[Alex giggles]

♪

[All sigh]

[Thelma] Huh?

[Pickles] Hi, Auntie
Thelma, we've missed you.

[Thelma] There you are!

Did you bring that doohickey
we can watch the game on?

[Dave squeaks]

[Pickles] I should be
the one to turn it on,

Dave's still learning
how to use it.

[Dave squeaks]

[Pickles] No! I taught you!

[Thelma] Quit fighting! I already
missed the first two innings!

And I would've missed it all if
it weren't for that little lion.

Now give me that tablet.

[Loudspeaker] Initiating
preflight alignment.

[alarm goes off]

[Alex screams]

[Alex] Guess it'll be
a paw-ball for one.

Great hit, Alex!

Nice return, Gloria.

[Marty] Mission Control.

[Gloria] Hmm.

There he is!

[Ant'ney] Aw, I
miss him already.

[Alex gasps]

[Alex] Oops! Better
get it before liftoff.

[Alex gasps]

Melman's firetruck?
Gloria's tutu?

Marty's ranger hat? An
old bagel from Ant'ney?

Why would they give me
their most favorite stuff?

But now I'm leaving
everything behind.

[Loudspeaker] This is control.

Prepare to close
and lock main hatch.

Launch in t-minus two minutes.

[Alex] I gotta
get out of here!

No!

[Melman sobs]

[Melman] Our little
lion is all grown up.

- [Marty] This is what he wants.
- [Alex] Someone help!

Get me out!

[Marty] Or is it?

No pressure, Martinez!

[chimps grunt]

Quit messin' with my game!

I gave up a trip
to space for this!

[chimps groan]

No! Get it back!

Do one of those,
you know, reboots!

[Pickles] Auntie? I
think it might be broken.

[Umpire] You're out!

[Pickles] Uh-oh is right.

[chimps scream]

[Alex] Wait, I've
made a mistake!

I've never been to space before!

I've never even been
to Staten Island! Ugh!

Stupid glove paws!

[All] Alex!

[Ant'ney] Hey, my bagel!

[Alex] What are
you all doing here?

[Marty] We know you don't
want to go to space!

[Gloria] So we came
to bring you home.

[Melman] You can still
borrow the firetruck.

[Loudspeaker]
Confirm hatch lock.

[Alex] I hope you all used
the little kitty's room.

[Loudspeaker] Shuttle is
now on internal power.

[Thelma] Pickles!
Dave! Where are you!

[Loudspeaker] Hydraulic
check is complete.

[Alex] I'm really wishing
Thelma taught me...

well, anything right now!

[Ant'ney] One of these buttons
has gotta be for the door!

[Melman] We're going to space and I never
got to tell Kate how much I love her!

[Gloria] And I never got to tell you
that when we watched "Good luck truck"

I already knew the ending,
cause I read it in a review!

[Melman] You know how to read?

[Alex] At least we're
together, right?

What am I saying? We're about to lose
everything and it's all my fault!

[all gasp]

[all screaming]

- [Gloria] Dave! Pickles!
- [Marty] I've never been so happy to see you two!

[Pickles] Save
the compliments.

If you want out,
you better hurry!

[all cheer]

♪

[all gasping]

[Melman] Woah...

[Ant'ney grunts]

[Alex sighs]

[Alex] I'm sorry, everyone.

I wanted to get the
g*ng back together,

but almost launching myself
into space for twenty years

probably wasn't the best
way to make that happen.

[Marty] Doing our own things
doesn't mean the g*ng's breaking up.

I guess it just means
we're growing up.

[Gloria] Growing
up. But not apart.

[Alex] I thought the new things meant you
didn't care about the old things anymore,

including me.

But now I see that no
matter how life changes,

we'll always find our
way back to each other.

[all go aw]

[Thelma] Have you seen
my niece and nephew?

[Ant'ney] That would
be Dave and Pickles.

[All] Ooh...

[Melman] They ran all the way
out to the shuttle to save us!

[Thelma] The shuttle? I waited
decades to see that game.

[Pickles] Bye-bye!

[Thelma] And I'll wait as long as it
takes for Pickles and Dave to get back...

[Loudspeaker] T minus ten, nine,
eight, seven, six, five, four...

We have main engine start.

Two, one, and liftoff!

[All] Ooh...

[Baseball announcer] Game is
tied, here comes the pitch.

It's a high fly to center.

If this is caught,
it'll decide the game!

And the Green Giraffes win!

[Murray] Huh?

Millie, what are the odds of there
being two chimps in that rocket ship?

[Millie] I dunno, Murray,
they're probably better odds

than the Giraffes
winning this game!

[Loudspeaker]
Maneuver completed.

[Melman] Think they've
got secret tunnels there?

[Marty] With Dave and
Pickles gone, I guess we're

gonna need to find a new
way out of the habitat!

[Alex] Huh! Yeah!

[audience cheers]

[giggles]

[Alex] Woah!

[all] Wow!

[Alex] Woohoo!

[laughing]

[all] Wow!

[audience cheers]

[Alex] Yeah!

Roar!

[audience cheers]

[Alex] Thank you! Thank you!

- [Marty] Way to go!
- [Gloria] I'm so proud of you!

- [Melman] Woohoo!
- [Marty] Woohoo!

Great show, buddy.

[Both] Woohoo!

[Marty] Love the
new space theme.

[Gloria] It was so real I could
almost taste the astronaut ice cream!

[Melman] Do you think
you'll ever go to the moon?

[Alex] Nah, this is
where my audience is.

And besides, in space no
one can hear you roar!

But maybe one day I'll
take my show on the road.

Who knows, I could end up
halfway around the world!

[Melman] Halfway
around the world?

[Gloria] Well, wherever you
go we'll be right behind you.

[Marty] She's got that right!

Watch your back, my main mammal,

cause no matter where we go or what
we do, we're gonna do it together.

[giggles]

[all laugh]

- [Gloria] I want in on that!
- [Melman] Wait for me!

[all laugh]

[both] Huh?

[screaming]

[all groan]

[Claire] Hey, Kate, do you
think they're cuddling?

[Kate] They're
definitely cuddling!

[All] Aww...

[Carlos] Hmm... Pickles? Dave?
I've still got my eye on you!

[Bill squawks]

[Carlos] Ah, I'm
commin', Bill!

[Melman] Nothing in the world could
make me happier than I am right now!

[Alex] Anyone up
for dumplings?

[Melman] I stand corrected.

[Gloria] Yes, please!

[Marty] I'll call
in the order!
