Marty: Welcome to Casa del Wild（野外之家）. Take a load off. Hey, hey, wipe your feet.
Gloria: Alex!
Marty: Mi casa is su casa（我的家就是你的家）.
Alex: Very impressive.
Marty: Hey, have a drink. It's on the house.
Alex: This is seawater.
Marty: Oh, you don't swallow it. It's just temporary till the plumbing's done. Hey, you all look hungry. How would you like some of nature's goodness?
Gloria: You have food?
Marty: The Fun Side Special, coming up. Seaweed on a stick.
Alex: Seaweed?
Marty: On a stick. Don't love it till you try it.
Melman: Unbelievable.
Gloria: So good.
Marty: Well, thanks. It does kind of hit the spot, doesn't it? Well, maybe it could use a little lemon.
Alex: No, it's great. It's really great. Doesn't get any better than this.
Marty: Oh, but it does. Check this out.
Gloria: Wow. Would you look at that.
Alex: It's like billions and billions of helicopters.
Marty: It's a shooting star. Make a wish. Quick!
Alex: Ooh! How about a thick, juicy steak?
Marty: You know what, Alex? I promise you I'm gonna find you a steak tomorrow even it kills me.
Alex: Thanks, Marty.
Melman: It is getting late. I guess I'm gonna...
Gloria: I think I'm gonna hit the sack too. Sweet dreams, everyone.
Marty: Alex. What are you doing?
Alex: Twenty-seven, 28, 29. Thirty black and only 29 white. Looks like you're black with white stripes after all. Dilemma solved. Good night.
Julien: You see, Maurice, Mr. Alex was grooming his friend. He is clearly a tender, loving thing. How can you have the heebie-jeebies（俗語(yǔ)：焦慮、緊張、沮喪）for Mr. Alex? Look at him. He's so cute and plushy.
Maurice: I don't think he was grooming him, Julien. Look more like he was tasting him to me.
Julien: Suit yourself, no matter. I don't care. Soon we will put my excellent plan to action. All we have to do is wait until they are deep in their sleep. How long is this going to take?!
