- [repeated line]
- Talking Koala Bear Doll: I'm so cuddly, I like you.
- [first lines]
- Samson: So there I was, face to face with the biggest, meanest leopard on this side of the Serengeti. And...
- Ryan: You roared so loud, his spots flew clean off. Dad I've heard this like a billion times.
- Samson: Do you know the one where I made the laughing hyenas...
- Ryan: Cry? Yep.
- Samson: The croc attack?
- Ryan: Dad.
- Samson: OK. Think.
- Ryan: Yeah, you do that.
- [chuckles]
- Samson: All right, Mr. Smart Guy, here's one I know you haven't heard. It all started in a little place I like to call... the wild.
- Samson's Father: [growls] I should have known. If you'd been born in the wild, you'd know how to roar.
- Young Samson: Dad?
- [car engine starts]
- Young Samson: Dad! Dad! Please!
- [crying]
- Young Samson: Dad.
- Samson: When they ship me to the zoo, I never wanted anyone to know where I came from. Especially those closest to me. I should have told you sooner.
- Ryan: But all those stories you tell?
- Samson: I'm so sorry, Ryan.
- Ryan: Everything you told me was a lie?
- Bridget: I wasn't meant for the wild. I was made to nibble and be elegant and to appear in children's books as the letter G.
- Benny: Well, that settles it, then. My mother definitely drank pool water when she was pregnant with me.
- Ryan: I told you I'd come to the game.
- Samson: You think this is funny? You just endangered everyone in the zoo!
- Ryan: I'm sorry.
- Samson: For what? Chasing the Gazelles or costing us the game?
- Ryan: No, I...
- Samson: All you do is sit in your tree and sulk.
- Ryan: If you would just...
- Samson: I mean, What is it? What's the problem? Is all of this because you can't roar?
- [pause]
- Samson: Ryan, I didn't mean that.
- Ryan: You know what I'm doing when I'm sulking up in my tree? I'm thinking how great it would be if Samson the Wild wasn't my father.
- Samson: Huh? Ryan, I... I didn't
- Ryan: 'Cause it would make being Ryan the Lame a whole lot easier.
- [he starts running away]
- Samson: Ryan, I'm sorry. Ryan! Please don't... leave.
- Larry: Bye, Ryan! Thanks for coming to the game.
- Ryan: Story of my life. Your roar stops a herd of wildebeests. Mine makes the babies laugh.
- Samson: Hey, come on. That was much better. I'm serious! It dropped half an octave.
- [low voice]
- Samson: It dropped half an octave.
- [chuckles]
- Samson: And it sure scared me. Made my hair stand up on end.
- [blows]
- Ryan: Yeah, right, Dad.
- Samson: Ok. Let's take it from the top.
- Ryan: I'm done for the day
- Samson: Come on, come on, one more. You were so close. Maybe it's something technical. Maybe you're not opening your mouth wide enough.
- [opens Ryan's mouth wide]
- Samson: Like this.
- Ryan: Dad, thanks for the technical help, but if you wanted me to roar like you, you'd take me to the wild.
- Samson: Whoa! Hold on a second. We've got everything we could ever want right here. Great lifestyle, three squares a day.
- Ryan: And it's boring. I'm never gonna learn how to roar here, Dad.
- Samson: Ryan.
- Ryan: But don't worry. I finally figured out how we can get to the wild.
- Samson: You did?
- Ryan: The pigeons say those green boxes go there.
- Samson: Those boxes are bad news. Stay away.
- Ryan: But, Dad...
- Samson: Listen, I know you're frustrated, but a lion finds his roar...
- Samson, Ryan: Here.
- Ryan: I'm... I'm so tired of hearing that, Dad!
- Nigel: [to a wildebeast] Terribly sorry to bother you, but, um, do you speak koala? Sprechen Sie koala?
- Ryan: Dad, thanks for the technical help, but if you really wanted me to roar like you, you'd take me to the wild.
- Hyrax: [sarcastically] Run for your lives everyone, it's a lion with big moral issues. Ouch! And I had enough of you too! Thanks a lot for wrecking my day!
- [Benny walks up to Hamir]
- Hamir: Oh Benny, I am needing until Friday before I pay you back.
- Benny: No, no, it's Ryan. He's in one of those green boxes, and they took it away. We got to find him.
- Hamir: That is not good, not good at all.
- [Pidgeons are dancing behind him trying to tell him something]
- Hamir: Ah! I know, I know! I am telling him you crazy pigeons!
- [sighs]
- Hyrax: Aaahh! Doesn't anyone ever knock anymore?
- Samson: Hey, where's my son? Did he come through here?
- Hyrax: Yeah, now that I think about it, he did come through here.
- [turns to toilet]
- Hyrax: Hello? Come out of there, baby lion, your dad's here! well, what do you know, it's a whole pride of lions down here!
- Benny: Bridget.
- Bridget: Don't stare at my spots, Benny. My eyes are up here.
- Benny: Oh! Oh, of course. I'm so sorry. Oh, oh, this, this is for you, honey.
- [presents candy necklace to Bridget]
- Benny: It goes around your left hoof.
- Bridget: Did you get that out of the trash? Oh, you did! You little trash-picker!
- Benny: I'm not a trash-picker. I'm a recycler. That's a lot more romantic. Isn't it?
- Nigel: What on earth is going on?
- Bridget: It's a human, and I do not think he works for the zoo.
- Nigel: Perhaps now is a good time to improvise.
- Samson: What?
- [Bridget steps on Samson's tail. He rawrs. The boat driver was screaming and then jumps off the boat]
- Nigel: Great! One problem down...
- Larry: Far out. Cool.
- [He gets rolled into the steering wheel]
- Nigel: One disaster to go.
- Nigel: All right Everybody, exit in an orderly All right, single file! Keep it... I seem to do a lot of falling and screaming in this adventure.
- Larry: [deleted scene] Okay. You eat one of them, I swallow one of them and that makes... five... about sixty four more.
- Samson: [up on the tree] Whew! I think we lost 'em.
- Ryan: What's the deal? They're just a bunch of wimpy donkeys!
- Samson: Ryan...
- Ryan: You could kick their rumps!
- Samson: Ryan, I can't fight them.
- Ryan: Why you run for you donkey-chickens! Get back here!
- Samson: Ryan! I can't fight them.
- Ryan: What do you mean?
- Samson: I was young... still just a cub.
- Ringleader: [in the flashback on an circus] Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages.
- Samson's Father: Samson, swallow that fear and stand tall!
- Ringleader: Witnes the greatest day in our young lion's life! The day he discovers his roar!
- Young Samson: Dad, I can't do it!
- Samson's Father: Now, go!
- Ringleader: Listen as Samson unleashes a roar so mighty, it launches widebeest clear off the savannah!
- [appears an antelope's machine]
- Samson's Father: Samson! Dig deep!
- [but samson meows before the antelope's machine while it stops and laughs]
