I know you'll behave, Melman!
Make sure to keep these party animals in line for me, okay?
[ chuckle ]
‐ Not everyone can be a perfectly behaved giraffe like me,
but I won't let Kate down!
‐ Okay, she's gone. It's race time!
[ laugh ]

Looking shiny, Mr. Ambulance. I just know we're gonna win!

That does not look like behaving to me.
Oh, no!
Alex, Marty, Gloria, look!
MARTY: Give it back, Alex!
[ Alex grunts ]
‐ Everybody stop what you're doing! ‐ What happened?
‐ Somebody popped my ambulance tire!
[ gasp ]
‐ Oh, no! ‐ Right before the race?
Yeesh, talk about bad timing for a flat.
‐ But good timing for whoever wanted me to lose.
‐ Wait, you're not saying someone did this on purpose, are you?
‐ That's exactly what I'm saying.
‐ I'm sure that it was just an accident.
‐ Why don't you pick one of the other cars in the Lost and Found to race?
‐ See, Melman? The race can go on!
‐ No way! The race is cancelled until we find the misbehaving tire popper.
So, who's gonna help me?
‐ I dunno, I still think it was an accident.
Like when I accidentally smushed Marty's dinner into his face.
MARTY: "Accidentally." ‐ The point is
even though I make mistakes, I'm still an all‐around spectacular cat!
‐ Not to mention, humble.
‐ Alex is right. We shouldn't jump to conclusions.
‐ But I gotta know what happened to my ambulance!
If the tire popper is out there, we have to find them.
Please?
[ sigh ]
‐ Fine. The sooner we get to the bottom of this,
the sooner we can start the race.
‐ I guess it couldn't hurt to ask around
and see where the facts lead us. No need to point a blaming hoof.

Ow!

‐ I've been waiting for this all day!
Just you, me, and a bottle of mustard.
ALL: Ant'ney!
‐ I found it on the floor, I swear!
‐ I'm not here for your pretzel. I'm here for the hedgies.
Why'd you do it? Couldn't help yourselves
from taking a joyride on my ambulance, could ya?
[ mumbling ]
‐ How about we let the hedgies speak for themselves.
[ mumbling ]
‐ Hold on. You're not accusing these sweet little hedgies
of popping your tire on purpose, are ya?
‐ That's exactly what I'm doing!
‐ You should probably know the whole story first.
Luckily, I have it.
It was a beautiful day in the city.
I was a‐flappin' over the habitat
when I saw a basketball come flying out of nowhere
and knock over the poor hedgies' terrarium!
The hedgies bounced down the steps and landed on your race cars.
You know, you really should clean up your toys.
It's like my ma always says‐‐ ALL: Ant'ney!
‐ Right, right where was I? Oh!
The cars went haywire and zoomed off,
ramping them up the embankment and into the Lost and Found box.
It was a real boom, smack, squeak, bang, squeak, clang!
‐ Ant'ney! ‐ Ant'ney!
‐ It wasn't their fault, they were just running scared.
End of story!
‐ So, a basketball knocked the terrarium over,
which sent the hedgies riding into the Lost and Found,
where their spikes accidentally popped the tire.
‐ Great! Now that we know what happened, we can start the race.
‐ I knew it was an accident. Problem solved, case closed!
‐ Not so fast! We've gotta find
whoever threw that basketball. They're the ones to blame!
‐ I guess it could've come from the sea lions.
They have a basketball.
‐ Oh, no! Could this horrible event have been caused
by my number one favorite performer, Ronathan?
‐ I thought I was your number one favorite performer.
‐ Not now, Alex! We gotta find the tire popper,
even if it is... Ronathan.
‐ Good luck, kids! My work here is done! And so...
is my pretzel.
‐ So... we're not racing yet?
‐ No way. Mission Ambulance Ambush is a go!
To the zip vines!

‐ J'accuse! That means, "I accuse you" in‐‐
‐ French! I know. I'm fluent.
[ chuckle ]
‐ Of course you are. Because you're perfect!
‐ What's wrong, Melman?
[ chuckle ]
‐ I'll tell you what's wrong!
You crashed your basketball into the hedgies' terrarium!
Because of you, they popped my tire with their spiky quills!
‐ Hmm? ‐ Hmm?
‐ We would never do something like that on purpose.
‐ Then how do you explain this?
‐ Don't mind Melman. He's just really...
passionate about his ambulance.
‐ Can you remember anything to help us get to the bottom of this?
‐ Anything to help our friends! Now, as I remember...
Ziggy, Lou, and I were playing basketball
and right as Ziggy did her super‐duper‐hook hook shot,
Pilar and Pedro fell out of the sky and crashed into the basketball hoop!
Ziggy was so startled, she shot it over the habitat wall!
It must've bounced all the way to the hedgies' terrarium,
but we didn't notice,
we were busy making sure Pilar and Pedro were okay.
‐ So, the parrots crashed into the hoop, which made Ziggy toss the ball,
which knocked over the terrarium,
which sent the hedgies riding into the Lost and Found,
where their spikes popped the tire.
‐ These things happen.
I crash into stuff all the time when I test out new moves.
[ grunting ]
MELMAN: Ow! ‐ See?
‐ But Pedro and Pilar are the two most graceful salsa dancers in the sky.
They never miss a beat, let alone crash.
‐ Graceful, shmaceful. They're the reason my ambulance is ruined.
The pot has quickened!
‐ Uh, I think you mean "The plot has thickened."
‐ To the parrots!
♪
‐ Hola, A Little Wild. Come to watch us rehearse?
‐ We are working on some new dance moves.
‐ Ooh, I gotta try that.
[ chuckle ]
‐ Not bad.
But let's see if you can dance your way out of this one,
why'd you crash into the sea lions' hoop?
If it wasn't for you, I'd be racing my ambulance right now!
‐ Ease up, Melman. Nobody crashes on purpose.
‐ Exactly! Oops!
‐ That's right, we never meant to crash into the hoop.
Pedro and I were practicing our aerial salsa routine
when out of nowhere, we saw some creature hop into the air...
PEDRO: And then a bright light blinded us!
PILAR: Unable to see, we spiraled down, down, down
and crashed into the sea lions' basketball hoop!
♪
‐ Hmm.
So, a small hopping creature blinded Pilar and Pedro,
which made them crash into the hoop, which made Ziggy toss the basketball
which knocked over the terrarium, which sent the hedgies
riding into the Lost and Found, where their spikes popped the tire.
[ Marty groans ]
‐ Hmm. I once blinded a whole crowd of adoring fans
with my dazzling smile!
It happens.
‐ But what kind of misbehaving creature
would've hopped into the sky to blind Pilar and Pedro?
‐ I happen to know a little frog who's really good at hopping...
‐ Oh, Lala!
Oh...
Lala!
♪
‐ Well, if it isn't my favorite wild animals!
‐ Flattery will get you nowhere, Lala.
But thanks! Big fan of yours, too.
Now tell me, why did you blind Pilar and Pedro?
‐ You mean, like blind them with my charm?
Or my beauty? ‐ Totally been there.
‐ Or with your secret blinding machine!
‐ I don't follow, but I'm excited to hear more.
Tell me everything!
‐ Somebody hopped into the sky
and blinded the parrots with the sun's reflection!
Because of that somebody, my ambulance is ruined!
‐ Would you happen to have something shiny
that might've caught the sunlight and reflected it at the parrots?
‐ Hmm. Something shiny...
also reflective.
Oh! My disco ball necklace!
Gloria invited me to the habitat for a tea party.
I was sitting on a tea spoon,
telling her all about my life at the pond,
when out of nowhere, I was catapulted into the sky!
While mid‐air, my necklace must've caught the sunlight
and temporarily blinded Pilar and Pedro...
and sent them hurtling out of the sky.
[ sigh ]
‐ So‐‐ ‐ Marty. Can I do the recap this time?
‐ Have at it! ‐ Okay, so!
Something catapulted Lala into the air,
where her necklace blinded Pilar and Pedro,
which made them crash into the hoop, causing Ziggy to toss the basketball,
which knocked over the terrarium,
sending the hedgies riding into the Lost and Found,
where their spikes popped the tire!
‐Yeah! ‐ Alright, Alex!
‐ So, whatever or whoever hit Lala's spoon is to blame!
‐ Uh, I don't know what hit my spoon, Melman!
It was probably a rock. Or an asteroid!
[ chuckle ]
‐ Wait a second, this all happened in our habitat.
Which means the animal responsible for the popped tire must be...
one of us!
[ gasping ]
‐ I can't believe one of us is responsible for this.
Well, by "us" I mean not me.
I'm a good giraffe. Even Kate said so.
So...
It's gotta be one of you! ‐ Whoa there, Melman.
I know you wanna get to the bottom of this mystery,
but we're your friends.
‐ We would never hurt you or your ambulance on purpose.
‐ Hmm. Who could've sent Lala flying through the sky.
[ chuckle ]
Was it Ant'ney?
[ sigh ]
Was it one of the rats?
[ breathing heavily ]
Was it‐‐? ‐ It was me!
I'm the one who catapulted Lala on the tea spoon!
[ gasp ]
‐ Of course! You've been dead set on starting the race all night.
You couldn't stand to see a good giraffe win!
‐ Oh! That's not true, Melman!
I never meant for any of this to happen.
[ grunt ]
[ sigh ]
‐ It's okay, Gloria. Just tell us what you know.
[ sigh ]
‐ Lala and I were enjoying our tea party,
when suddenly, something sharp stung my back
and I slammed my hand down on Lala's spoon,
accidentally sending her flying into the air.
‐ Hmm. That's no sting! That's a scratch.
‐ A scratch that could've only come from...
a lion!
‐ Who, me?
‐ So, this is all your fault, Alex!
‐ But I would never scratch Gloria!
Although, that does look like my handiwork...
‐ Think back, Alex. Is there anything you might remember?
Any reason why you might've scratched Gloria?
‐ Yeah, I'd like to hear this.
[ sigh ]
‐ It was spa day...
and I was relaxing with a cooling cucumber face mask,
when suddenly, something slammed into me really hard!
My mask had turned into a sloppy mush that covered my eyes,
which wasn't all that bad. Though I couldn't see,
it did make my coat a little more silky soft than usual.
ALL: Alex!
ALEX: Anyway, I stumbled around, looking for a towel to clean myself off.
I must've scratched Gloria without realizing it.
‐ So‐‐ ‐ Don't worry, Marty. I got it this time!
‐ Go right ahead! ‐ So, somebody shoved Alex,
which made him scratch me, so I catapulted Lala into the air,
where her necklace blinded Pilar and Pedro,
which made them crash into the hoop,
which made Ziggy toss the basketball, knocked over the terrarium,
and sent the hedgies riding into Lost and Found,
where their spikes popped the tire. ‐ This is making my head dizzy.
‐ So, whoever shoved Alex is to blame. But who would've done that?
‐ Hmm...
[ gasp ]
‐ What is it, Marty? Did you find the shover?
‐ Yup, it's me.
I'm the one who shoved Alex. I'm the one to blame!
‐ But you always follow the rules!
After me, you're the goodest animal in the whole habitat!
‐ You might not think that after you hear what happened.
I was polishing the button inside my ranger hat,
when out of nowhere, something tickled my nose
and I let out the biggest sneeze that launched me back into something!
I didn't know it was Alex. Then, well, you know what happened next.
[ gasp ]
If I hadn't sneezed, none of this would've happened.
[ sigh ]
I'm pulling myself out of the race.
‐ But, Marty!
C'mon. Let's make sure he's okay.
‐ All day, I've been looking for the tire popper...
and it's Marty?
‐ Sneezes happen, Marty. It wasn't your fault.
‐ I'm usually very good at controlling my sneezes.
But this wasn't just any sneeze. It was the biggest sneeze of my life!
Something came over me that day.
Like the fluffiest fluff floated into my nose and exploded!
‐ That happens to me whenever I make a wish on a dandelion.
Hey, where'd all the dandelions go?
‐ D‐d‐d‐dandelions?
[ grunt ]
You sure like dandelions, huh? Well, then make a wish on these petals,
'cause you're gonna wish you never showed your wings in this habitat!
I mean that in the nicest way possible!
[ sneeze ]
[ Alex screams ]
Oh, no. It was all my fault. I'm the tire popper!
I misbehaved!
First, I'm a tire popper. Next, I'll probably be a bubble popper.
Only a matter of time before I'm popping an innocent baby's balloon in the park!
I'm a monster!
[ crying ]
‐ Here you go, Melman. I fixed the ambulance.
After the chaos I caused, I don't deserve anything,
not even buttons.
‐ Oh! Marty, this is‐‐
‐ The button from his park ranger hat? Yup.
‐ But you love that hat!
I can't let you do this.
No one deserves to be punished for an honest mistake.
‐ Keep it, Melman. This was my fault.
‐ Aw, come on, Marty.
We can't do the race without you. Right, Melman?
[ sigh ]
‐ It's not your fault, Marty! It's my fault!
‐ It is?
‐Huh? ‐ What are you talking about?
‐ What happened was...
[ sigh ]
Wait. I spent the whole day blaming everyone else,
so everyone else should know I'm the one to blame.
[ static ]
[ sigh ]
Attention, wildlife.
This is Melman with an important announcement.
Ya know those delightful dandelions growing in the habitat?
I'm ashamed to say that I tore those pesky butterfly‐magnets
out of the ground.
The dandelions' fluff made Marty sneeze,
and caused him to bump Alex, which made Alex scratch Gloria,
who flung Lala into the sky, where she blinded the parrots,
so they crashed into the hoop and startled Ziggy,
who threw the ball that knocked the terrarium over
and sent the hedgies riding to the Lost and Found!
Where their spikes popped my ambulance tire!
‐ So, you're saying... ‐ It was me!
I'm the reason the tire got popped! I'm a bad giraffe!
[ crying ]
‐ Melman popped his own tire? ‐ Melman popped his own tire?
‐ I've done all sorts of bad things,
like eating the last dumpling yesterday night.
‐ Hey! That was you?
‐ And unspooling Alex's yarn ball. ‐ I'm sorry, what?
‐ And letting Marty take the blame for popping my ambulance tire.
‐ It's okay, Melman. Just 'cause you've made mistakes,
doesn't mean you're a bad giraffe.
