And in the meantime, Alex makes the sign of "Help!" for waiting the boat. And Marty tries to cheer up Alex for an apology.

Marty said "Yo, Al. Melman, Gloria, Vic, Garfield and Odie are over there having a good time. There's room on the fun side for one more."

Alex said "No, thanks."

Marty said "Look, I've been thinking. Maybe if you gave this place a chance, I don't know, you might even enjoy yourself."

Alex said "Marty, I'm tired. I'm hungry. I just want to go home."

Marty said "Could you just give it a chance? Think about it. It really isn't the fun side without you."

Alex said nothing as the sign broke to say...um you know. Alex walked up to the place before he knocked he took a deep breath then knocked.

Melman said "Shh. Shh. It's him."

Marty asked "Who is it?"

Alex said "It's the pizza man. Who the heck do you think it is?"

Marty looking through the peep hole "Yes? Can I help you?"

Alex asked "Can I come to the fun side?"

Marty opened the door "Beg your pardon?"

Alex said "You know, I've been kind of a jerk, Marty. But I've been thinking about what you said, and I'm sorry."

Marty opened the door after the many locks "Welcome to Casa del Wild! Take a load off." He stopped him "Hey, hey, wipe your feet." Alex wiped his feet then came in.

Gloria cheered "Alex!"

Garifeld said "Welcome!"

Vic said "My bro!"
Marty said "Mi casa is su casa." He made a drink.

Alex said "Very impressive."

Marty said "Hey, have a drink. It's on the house."

Alex drinks the water, but it's salad and he spits it! "This is seawater."

Marty spat it out too "Oh, you don't swallow it. It's just temporary till the plumbing's done. Hey, y'all look hungry. How would you like some of nature's goodness?"

Gloria asked "You have food?"

Marty said "The Fun Side Special, coming up. Seaweed on a stick."

Alex asked "Seaweed?"

Marty said "On a stick. Don't love it till you try it."

Melman said "That's unbelievable!"

They all took a stick then cooked it as they each took a bite.

Gloria said "Mmm... So good."

Garfield said "it's not lasagna but it's something."

Odie licked his lips from the seaweed.

Marty said "Well, thanks. It does kind of hit the spot, doesn't it?" Alex coughs of eating seaweed, because he wants steak "Well, maybe it could use a little lemon."

Alex said "No, it's great. It's really great. Doesn't get any better than this?"

Marty said "Oh, but it does. Check this out."

He opened the roof to show them the starry sky.

Gloria said "Wow! Would you look at that."

Alex said "It's like billions and billions of helicopters."

Garfield said "Wow!"

Vic whistled in awe.

Odie said 'Oooh'
