08x06 - Marty's Big Break

[bunniefuu]

[Gloria] Places!

[Kamryn] The coast is clear!

[Lyla] You heard
Kamryn, let's move!

[exhales]

[Kamryn] There you go,
home safe and sound.

[Lyla] Another great
Junior Ranger practice!

[Marty] Thanks, everyone!

[grunt]

[Kate] I knew I
left my phone here.

Huh?

[snoring]

Hmm.

Goodnight, A Little Wild.

[Marty] Phew!
Mission accomplished!

Thanks again.

[Kamryn] Anytime! C'mon, Leo
and Lyla, we better get back

to the Junior Ranger stables.

[Marty] Right! And I better get
back to my Junior Ranger cave.

[yawn]

[Alex] Marty! You're back!

I laid out your
favorite blankie.

[both] Huh?

[giggle]

[Marty] Blankie is
code for my secret map

of the travel tunnels!

[Alex] I also
fluffed your pillow

and found your
favorite bedtime teddy!

[giggle]

[Lyla] We don't even have
teddies at the stables.

[Marty] I do not
sleep with a teddy!

I sleep with my Ranger
Handbook and one eye open.

[Alex] Yep! So you can
make sure no one lays a paw

on Mr. Fluffy Butt.

[giggle]

[Leo] Goodnight,
Mr. Fluffy Butt!

[laughing]

[Marty] Oh...

I didn't mean what I
said, Mr. Fluffy Butt.

We're good.

[yawn]

[Alex] Morning, Marty!
You're up early.

[Marty] I guess...

[Gloria] Oh, I bet
Marty couldn't sleep

'cause he's too excited

for Central Park's
Earth Day celebration!

[Melman] That's today? Yes!

Earth is my favorite
planet in the whole world!

[sigh]

[Gloria] What's the matter? Aren't
you excited for the big parade?

[Marty] Eh, I'm just not
in a celebrating mood.

- You should go without me.
- [Melman] What are you gonna do all day?

[Marty] Oh, just think
about how I'll never be

an official Ranger.

[Alex] But you passed Ranger
Hoof's Junior Ranger exam,

that seemed pretty official.

[Marty] Kamryn, Leo,
and Lyla are official.

They live in the barns
and work with the humans.

Next week they're invited
to the Graduation Trot,

where they'll go from
Junior Ranger Horses

to official Ranger
Horses, unlike me.

I was saving this page
for my graduation,

when I'd become the city's
first official Ranger Zebra.

I've been picturing
it all my life,

maybe it's silly, but
a zebra can dream.

♪ It's a perfect day
A perfect place ♪

♪ And looks like everything
Is going perfectly ♪

♪ Oh, oh! ♪

♪ Yeah, the g*ng's all
here And looking great ♪

♪ And I gotta say perfection
Looks real good on me, yay! ♪

♪ Yeah, in the right
place At the right time ♪

♪ Perfectly! ♪♪

[sigh]

[Marty] The humans are
never gonna think of me

as a real Ranger Horse.

I'll just have to
keep sneaking around,

and my dreams will just
have to stay dreams.

[horse neighs]

- [Charlie] Hey, Kate!
- [Kate] Hey, Ranger Charlie!

[Gloria] Why don't you
talk to Ranger Hoof?

She knows how hard
you've worked,

- maybe she can help.
- [Marty] Good idea, Gloria!

- [Hoof] Morning, Stripes.
- [Marty] Morning, Ranger Hoof!

- [Charlie] Got a minute?
- [Kate] Sure! What's up?

[Charlie] Would you mind handing out
flyers for the Earth Day celebration?

I'm having a tough time
drumming up excitement for it.

The mayor hasn't even RSVP'd.

We need her support to continue
our conservation efforts.

We've been working so hard
to keep the parks clean

and the city green!

[Marty] It sure is a
shame to work so hard,

and not have it all pay off...

[Hoof] It sure is.

[sigh]

Are we talking about
Ranger Charlie, here?

[Marty] You know how hard I
work to be a Junior Ranger.

And it's my dream to
be an official Ranger,

but the humans don't even
know I show up to training.

[sigh]

[Hoof] If I could
talk to humans,

I'd happily tell Ranger Charlie
what a spectacular addition

you'd make to the academy.

[Marty] Thanks.

[sigh]

[Hoof] Hey, how about we
run through some trots?

That always cheers you up.

[Marty] Okay. I
might not be able

to attend the Graduation Trot,

but I can still
practice my moves.

[Charlie] Whaa?

Am I seeing things,
or is that zebra doing

our Ranger trots?

[Kate] If I didn't
know any better,

I'd think your horse
has been teaching Marty

a thing or two about
being a Ranger!

[Charlie] I'll say!

He trots as well as my
Junior Ranger horses!

If only he could attend
the Earth Day event.

That might get the
Mayor to show up.

[gasp]

[Kate] Y'know, Marty
isn't so different

from your Junior Rangers.

Zebras and horses belong
to the same family.

If having Marty at Earth Day

could help your
conservation efforts,

I'd be happy to bring him.

[Charlie] Really?
Thanks, Kate!

This'll be the
best Earth Day yet!

And, hey, if all goes well,

maybe Marty can be our
first official Ranger Zebra!

[gasp]

- [Alex] That's my main mammal!
- [Melman] Woo!

[Hoof] How about that,
Marty? You're one step closer

to making it to the
Graduation Trot!

[Marty] Only if all goes well.

Which means I've gotta
make sure today is perfect.

[Mary-Sue] Another
perfect game!

[Todd] Yes, outstanding effort

from the New York
Green Giraffes!

[Melman] Woohoo!

[All] Go, Giraffes!

[Marty] Shouldn't Kate be
done with her morning rounds?

[Gloria] She'll be
back any minute.

[Melman] Want some dumplings?

[Marty] No, thanks. I need
to be on my A-game today,

so I'm having the
breakfast of Rangers!

A morning smoothie!

[Alex] Ugh!

Enjoy your smoothie,
more dumplings for us!

[Todd] Up next, an
exclusive interview

with Mayor Patel.

[Mayor Patel] Good
morning, Mary-Sue and Todd,

and good morning, New York City!

[Marty] Mayor Patel?
I've gotta hear this!

[Mary-Sue] Madame Mayor,
our viewers want to know,

what's a day in the life
of Mayor Patel like?

[Mayor Patel] There's
just so much to do!

A stroll at the Highline,
a Broadway show.

[Alex] My kinda gal!

[Todd] How about Central
Park's Earth Day celebration

this afternoon?

[Mayor Patel] Sounds charming,

but sadly I can't attend
every event I'm invited to.

[Mary-Sue] Breaking news,
today's Earth Day celebration

will feature Central
Park's newest Ranger horse.

Only it's not a horse, it's...

a zebra!

[Mayor Patel] A zebra? At Earth
Day? Bob, clear my schedule!

I'll see you in
Central Park, New York!

[gasp]

[Kate] Ready to head
to the park, Marty?

[Charlie] I hope
so, I just got word,

Mayor Patel is coming after all!

We've assigned Marty

to pull the mayor's
carriage in the parade!

[squeal]

[Alex] That's a big job!

Sure you don't want some
dumplings to fuel up?

[Marty] Thanks, but I'll
stick to my smoothie

like the Rangers. I wanna
do it all just right.

You heard Charlie,
if all goes well,

he'll make me an
official Ranger Zebra.

I just gotta make sure
today goes smoother than...

well, a smoothie!

[laughing]

[Kate] Here we are, Marty!

Earth Day.

Now this is a celebration!

[Charlie] There's the
zebra of the hour!

You're just missing one thing.

[Kate] Marty, you were
born to wear that hat!

You two have fun.
If you need me,

I'll be over there
handing out pamphlets.

[Charlie] See ya, Kate!
Now, we gotta get you ready!

Where's my grooming brush?

[Ant'ney] Woah!

Wahoo!

[Marty] Hiya, Ant'ney!

[Ant'ney] I wasn't
gonna eat it, I swear!

Oh, hey, it's just you, Stripes.

[Marty] Notice
anything different?

[Ant'ney] Yeah! This
ain't a hot dog.

Eh, well, ya can't
argue with a free meal.

Oh, different about you.

Eh, you developed
more white stripes?

No, no, no, more black stripes!

[Marty] Nope. I'm
out of the habitat,

on official Junior Ranger
duty. Well, at least for today.

[Ant'ney] Oh,
that's great, kid.

[Marty] Ranger Charlie
said if I do good

pulling the mayor's carriage,

I could go to the
Graduation Trot

and become the city's
first Ranger Zebra!

[Ant'ney] Congrats!
You must be thrilled!

[Marty] I'll be more thrilled
once I get this place in order.

There's still so
much work to do!

[Ant'ney] Eh? It looks
pretty good to me!

[Marty] Pretty
good won't cut it.

Today's gotta be perfect.

[Leo] Marty! Over here!

[Marty] Duty calls,
catcha later!

[Ant'ney] Hmm, definitely
more black stripes.

[Leo] Hey, Marty! Nervous
about your big day?

[Marty] Me? Nervous? Never!

[stomach rumble]

[Charlie] Grooming time!

[sigh]

[Kamryn] Once we're groomed,

we're gonna run through some
pre-parade stretches. You in?

[Marty] I'd love to, but I have
a few things to take care of.

[Charlie] You four
relax until parade time!

[Marty] Enjoy your stretching.
I've got work to do.

[Lyla] Suit yourself!

[stomach rumble]

[Ant'ney] Yeesh. I thought a
bear was sneaking up on me.

Was that you, Stripes?

[Alex] There's our
favorite almost Ranger!

[Gloria] You won't hang out
with your Junior Ranger friends?

[Marty] Kamryn, Leo, and Lyla
have nothing to worry about,

they've got their Graduation
Trot invitation in the bag.

[Alex] I'm sure yours
is in the bag too.

[Marty] I can't risk any
hiccups or hitches today.

[Melman] I don't see
any hiccups or hitches.

- [Gloria] Everything looks great.
- [Ant'ney] That's what I said!

[Alex] But if you
need any help...

[Marty] I could use a couple of
extra paws and hooves and claws.

Just to make sure everything
goes according to plan.

[Melman] How can we
help, Junior Ranger?

[Marty] Let's start with...

the grass. It looks nice!

But this grass is at
least a centimeter longer

than the Ranger
handbook's desired length.

[Ant'ney] Oh, no,
that's... terrible?

[Marty] Melman, I'm
putting you on mowing duty.

[Melman] You can
count on me, Marty!

[sigh]

[Gloria] Do you even know
how to use a lawn mower?

[Melman] Nope! And I don't
know where the find one!

But I won't let Marty down.

[Ant'ney] You're looking
kinda sweaty there, Stripes.

- Everything okay?
- [Marty] No.

But it'll be a lot better
once everything is in shape!

[Alex] Awesome!
Confetti cannons!

[Ant'ney] I heard the rangers
say these puppies will go off

at the end of the parade.

[Marty] I'm worried they
won't be loud enough.

Or filled with enough biodegradable
confetti. Can you test 'em, Gloria?

[Gloria] But if
I test them now,

there won't be any
confetti left in them

for the actual parade.

[Marty] Sure there will!

All you have to do is pick
up every piece of confetti

and put it back in the
cannons, easy peasy!

[Gloria] Sure... If it'll
help your dream come true,

then, I got you, Marty.

[stomach rumble]

[Ant'ney] There it is
again. What was that sound?

[Marty] What? Nothing!

We gotta focus on the
sound of these cannons!

[Alex] Do you want me
on cannon duty, too?

[Marty] No...

I've got the most important
job for you, Alex.

[Alex] That makes sense.

[Marty] This is the carriage
I'm pulling Mayor Patel in

during the parade,
and it's all smudgy!

[Alex] Really? I think
it's kinda sparkly.

[Marty] "Kinda sparkly" might
cut it for an average day,

but today, I need total sparkle!

So, when Ranger Charlie
sees me pulling it,

he'll see my sparkle too!

This is my big moment.

- [Alex] I get it.
- [Marty] Thanks, buddy.

Here. You're on polishing duty.

[sigh]

[Marty] What's
going on, Melman?

I thought you were
gonna mow the grass.

[Melman] I couldn't
find a lawnmower,

so I tried getting
Frances to eat the grass,

but she's having an off day.

[bleat]

so I figured I'd eat it myself.

[Marty] Thanks, bud!

Everything is so close
to being perfect,

I can taste it!

[belch]

[Melman] I'm
definitely tasting it.

[cannons go off]

Ooh, sounds like Gloria's
testing the cannons.

[Marty] Hooo! For a second, I
thought that was me going off.

Wow! How was cannon testing?

[Gloria] Loud. Very loud.
Now I'm trying to get

all the confetti
back in the cannons.

[Marty] Thanks, Gloria.

Good to know the parade will
end with a bang, literally!

[sigh]

[grunting]

[sigh]

[Marty] Great job, Alex!

[Alex] Thank you, next time
I'll use a bigger brush.

[Melman] Ugh! I'm finally
done with the grass.

I can't wait to brush my t...

My toothbrush!
Alex, how could you?

[Alex] Wha? Melman, buddy,
I can explain! Marty!

[Marty] Keep up
the good work, bye!

[Charlie] Happy Earth Day!

Enjoy Central
Park's lush greenery

and thriving wildlife,

thanks to our
hard-working Rangers!

Oh, and don't miss the parade,

featuring New York's
own Mayor Patel.

[Marty] Thanks, everybody.

I know I asked a lot of
you, but it paid off.

Everything looks per...!

[stomach rumble]

As I was saying,
it looks perfec...

[burp]

- Ugh!
- [Gloria] Whoa, Marty.

Are you sick?

[Alex] Yeah, that
didn't sound so good.

[Marty] I'm not
sick. I feel great!

[Ant'ney] I'm not so sure.

Sweats, tummy rumbles, weird,
gross burps, no offense.

You're definitely sick.

[Melman] Maybe you should go
back to the habitat to rest.

[Marty] Rest? After everything
I've done to prepare?

When I'm this close
to getting my dream?

- No way.
- [Gloria] Uh, but, Marty...

[Marty] If I'm gonna go to
the Graduation Trot next week,

everything has to go as planned.

And a stomach ache was
not part of the plan.

[stomach rumble]

It's probably just that
smoothie I had for breakfast.

My stomach isn't used
to so much power.

[Ant'ney] I think
he means fiber.

[Alex] Uh, Marty?

I'm pretty sure the
problem isn't the smoothie.

[Mayor Patel] Hello, NYC!

Thank you for coming
to celebrate me.

I mean, Earth Day!

[Marty] The mayor's here!

Nothing is going to
stop my big moment,

especially not my own stomach.

[Charlie] There you
go, Mayor Patel!

So we'll go through the arch,
all the way around the fountain

accompanied by the music
from the Kidizens band.

The Ranger Horses
and I will lead,

followed by Marty
pulling carriage.

[Mayor Patel] Saving
the best for last!

Can't blame you,
the city loves us!

[Marty] Ugh...

[stomach rumble]

[Charlie] They sure do!

The other rangers
and I have no doubt

Marty's gonna make
us proud today.

[Marty] Don't worry,
Ranger Charlie,

I won't let you down.

[Mayor Patel] News people!
This is where the action's at.

I want all of New York
looking right here.

Make sure you get my good side.

[Todd] You got it, Mayor!

[Mary-Sue] All eyes and
cameras on you and the zebra.

[Marty] Ugh...

[burp]

[Charlie] Okay,
everyone, it's show time!

[Mayor Patel] Oh, yes,

[Marty] Interesting? That's

Gotta make it to the end.

[Ant'ney] How's your
stomach, Stripes?

[Marty] Not so great!

I gotta get out of here, fast!

[Alex] What are we gonna do?

[Ant'ney] I've got it!

I've got an idea to get
Marty outta here fast.

I'm going in!

Let's get a picture

with the city's first
official Ranger Zebra!

[Photographer] Scooch
a little to the left?

Back to the right?

Okay, smile!

Perfect!

[sigh]

[Mayor Patel] I want
this moment memorialized,

to demonstrate on this Earth
Day just how important it is

to honor the natural world,

and that we must care
for our wildlife,

and let nature do
what it does best,

which is to be wild and free...

[scream]

[farting]

[Mayor Patel] Woohoo, hoo!

What is that?

It appears that someone let
the horses out of the barn,

if you know what I mean!

you have it, folks!

[Todd] Phew!

A mystery blast
causes big laughs

at Central Park's
Earth Day celebration!

Whoa! Looks like New
York's first Ranger Zebra

is already on the run.

[Kate] Marty! Where
are you going?

[Gloria] Poor Marty!

[Kate] Aww.

There, there, buddy. It's okay.

[sigh]

Oh, hey! Where'd you
three pop out from?

Make sure Marty gets
some rest, okay?

I don't know what made
him run away like that.

Poor thing must've been under
a lot of pressure today.

[Ant'ney] Pressure?
You got that right!

Ahem... sorry.

[Marty] It was not
too much pressure.

It was supposed to be
the best day of my life.

But I humiliated
myself and the rangers

in front of the entire city.

I really blew it.

[laugh]

[Ant'ney] Blew it!

That was the last one.

[Marty] Now I'll never get
invited to the Graduation Trot.

[Alex] Sure you will, Marty.

Ranger Charlie has to
know you did your best.

[Marty] My best was a bust...

[Ant'ney] Bust!

[groan]

Well, that's instant Karma.

[Marty] It's all because
of that smoothie.

If I hadn't drunk it, I never
would've gotten a stomach ache,

and everything
woulda been perfect.

[Alex] Actually, Marty,

I may have snuck a taste
of your smoothie earlier.

And I feel great!

[Marty] Wait, if it
wasn't the smoothie,

then what caused
my stomach ache?

Why do I feel fine now,

when the most important
moment of my life is over?

[Hoof] Over?

Stripes, you're just
getting started.

[Marty] Ranger Hoof!

You must be here
for my Ranger Hat

and my resignation.

[Hoof] Nah, I'm just
here to check on you.

And to let you know
that I was anxious

during my first parade, too.

[Marty] Why does everyone
keep saying that?

I was not anxious
or under pressure!

I've just had this
dream my whole life,

the future of which
depended on one perfect,

extremely important,
life-changing moment,

now why would that
make me anxious?

[Hoof] Mmhmm.

[Marty] Oh.

So, my stomach ache didn't
come from what I was drinking,

it was from what I was feeling?

And what I was feeling...

was anxious.

[Gloria] You were so stressed

about everything being
perfectly perfect,

you made yourself sick.

[Hoof] Being a ranger
isn't about being perfect.

All that matters is
that you do your best.

[Marty] But I, you
know, let one go!

On national TV!

And everyone laughed at me!

[laugh]

- [Marty] See?
- [Hoof] You've got it all wrong, Marty.

Turn on the TV, would ya?

[Mayor Patel] Celebrating
Earth Day today,

and having a laugh
with the fine people

of New York City,

reminded me how important
it is to just...

well, let loose sometimes!

[Mayor Patel farts]

[laughing]

But one thing we
don't wanna let loose

is our conservation program.

The park has never
looked better,

thanks to our dedicated Rangers.

Happy Earth Day, New York!

[Hoof] See? It wasn't
the perfect day

you hoped for, but...
