The Mbali Fields Migration/Transcript

Transcript

	Fade to a rocky cliff. Ono flies over it.
Ono	Everyone! Everyone!
	Cut to the Lion Guard standing below. They turn and run to meet Ono.
Beshte	What's the kerbubble, Ono?
	Ono lands on a rock in front of his friends.
Ono	There's trouble with the zebras!
Fuli	Ugh, what else is new?
Ono	And the gazelles!
Kion	The zebras and the gazelles are in trouble?
Ono	No, they are the trouble! They're fighting each other!
Beshte	Zebras and gazelles don't fight.
Bunga	You seein' okay, Ono? [Bunga holds up two fingers in Ono's face.] Look. How many fingers?
Ono	I know what I saw!
Kion	If the zebras and the gazelles really are fighting, we better check it out. 'Till the Pride Lands end...
	The Lion Guard runs off.
Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, Kion, and Ono	Lion Guard defend!
	Cut to the gazelles and the zebras fighting. Muhimu and Swala fight at the center of the herds.
Gazelles and zebras	bray
	Swala takes a stab at Muhimu with her horns.
Swala	grunts
	A zebra steps into Swala's path, blocking her.
Zebra	nickers
	Cut to the Lion Guard approaching at the top of the rocky cliff.
Fuli	So weird. I've never seen zebras and gazelles act like this.
	Beshte squints.
Beshte	Hey, wait. I know these herds!
	Cut to the zebras glaring.
Zebras	nicker
Beshte	[from offscreen] Those zebras follow Muhimu. [The camera pans left to show the gazelles glaring back at the zebras.] And the gazelles follow Swala.
Gazelles	snort
	Cut to Beshte.
Beshte	But Muhimu and Swala are friends!
Kion	Something's not right. Ono! Can you see Muhimu and Swala?
	Cut to Ono flying.
Ono	Affirmative! [Ono's vision flickers, and he spots Muhimu and Swala fighting in the middle of the herds.] Looks like they're in the middle of everything.
	Cut to Kion.
Kion	Then that's where we're going! Come on!
	The Lion Guard runs toward the herds. The camera pans left to show the zebras with their backs to the Lion Guard.
Zebras	nicker
	The Lion Guard begins clearing a path through the zebras.
Bunga	Let's move, zebra-deebras! [Bunga pushes at a zebra's leg, to no avail.] Black with white stripes on one side. [Bunga pushes at another zebra's leg, to no avail.] White with black stipes on the other! grunts
	The zebras glare down at Bunga.
Zebra	nickers
	Cut to Beshte, Bunga, and Kion.
Beshte	'Scuse me, guys. I think I can handle this. Twende kiboko!
	Beshte pushes his way through the zebras.
Zebras	yell Whoa! I beg your pardon!
	The rest of the Lion Guard strides through the cleared zebras.
Bunga	Thanks, Beshte. [Bunga notices something and pauses.] Uh-oh!
	Cut to Muhimu backing up rapidly.
Muhimu	neighs
Bunga	Whoa! [Bunga turns to run, but Muhimu sits on him. Cut to Bunga trapped beneath Muhimu.] Uh, hello?
Fuli	Ooh. That's gotta hurt.
Swala	laughs Nice move, Muhimu!
Muhimu	What do you mean "nice move?" You pushed me!
Swala	So? What are you going to do about it?
	Muhimu stands, leaving Bunga squished on the ground.
Muhimu	grunts
	Muhimu charges at Swala, and they begin fighting again.
Muhimu and Swala	grunt
Muhimu	neighs
Bunga	[resentfully] I know whose side I'm on.
	Bunga stands and dusts himself off. Muhimu looks over one shoulder at him.
Muhimu	I heard that!
	Muhimu and Swala continue fighting.
Muhimu and Swala	neigh
Kion	Muhimu! Swala! [Kion runs in-between Muhimu and Swala.] Stop! Hey... Enough! roars
Muhimu	gasps
Swala	Ooh!
Kion	What's going on? Swala, Muhimu, I thought you two were friends!
Muhimu	We were, until Swala and the gazelles tried to steal our grazing grounds!
Swala	Your grazing grounds? Muhimu, these are our grazing grounds!
Muhimu	Ha! No, they're ours!
Beshte	But this is the Pride Lands. Can't you just share?
Kion	Beshte's right. These grazing grounds are for everyone. There's plenty of grass for zebras and gazelles.
Ono	[from offscreen] Um, Kion... [Cut to Ono flying overhead.] That's not exactly true... [Cut to a wide shot of the Lion Guard, the gazelles, and the zebras standing on a small patch of grass among a landscape of dirt.] Except for where you are, I only see dirt!
Kion	There's no other grass at all?
Fuli	Seriously?
Beshte	Wait. So, you zebras and gazelles aren't really mad at each other. You're just hungry!
Swala	I do get cranky when I'm hungry.
Muhimu	And now, you see why we're hungry. There's not enough grass!
	Muhimu stamps her hoof.
Kion	Well, then, we just need to find a place with enough grass for all of you.
Swala	Can you do that?
Muhimu	Yes, where is all this grass?
Kion	I don't know...but I know who will.
	Cut to Kion and Simba on the promontory of Pride Rock. Simba strides away from Kion.
Simba	I knew the herds were large this year, [Simba pauses and looks over one shoulder at Kion.] but I didn't realize they'd outgrown their grazing grounds.
Kion	Isn't there somewhere with enough grass for the herds to share?
	Simba strides toward the promontory. Kion follows.
Simba	Kion, you see that patch of green, [Cut to a view of the Pride Lands from Pride Rock. In the distance is a patch of green grass.] far out in the distance?
Kion	Mbali Fields?
Simba	Mbali Fields. [Simba sits.] That's where the zebras and gazelles can find their grass.
Kion	But that's at the very edge of the Pride Lands. You think they can make it?
Simba	I'm certain they can. Because I'm sending the Lion Guard with them.
Kion	You want me to lead a migration?
Simba	You'll have the rest of the Guard with you. But I know you, Kion. You can do whatever you put your mind to.
Kion	Thanks, Dad. I won't let you down.
Simba	You never do.
	Cut to Muhimu's herd.
Zebras	neigh
	Bunga cartwheels into frame.
Bunga	Who's ready for a savanna trip? [Bunga cartwheels toward Muhimu.] Raise your hooves! Whoo! [Muhimu turns to face Bunga, who notices her.] Oh. It's you.
Muhimu	Have we met?
Bunga	Uh, yeah. You sat on me yesterday? Remember?
Muhimu	exhales I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about, little mongoose.
Bunga	Mongoose!? I'm a honey badger!
Muhimu	Whatever. When are we getting this show on the road? I need to get to the grazing grounds...before [pointedly] it is time.
Bunga	It is time? [Bunga points at Muhimu.] Don't get all Rafiki on me, Muhimu. We're almost ready to go. Just keep your stripes on.
	Bunga strides away. Cut to Muhimu's herd and Swala's herd gathered together. Ono flies over them toward Kion. He lands in front of Kion.
Ono	Looks like everyone's ready, Kion.
Kion	Great. Did you scout us the best route?
Ono	Affirmative. Through the plains, past Maji Baridi Falls, down Rocky Ridge, then right through the canyon to Mbali Fields. Pretty simple, really.
Kion	I was hoping you'd say that. [to Muhimu's herd and Swala's herd] Listen up, everybody! It's a long way to Mbali Fields. But I'll do my best to get you all there safe and sound!
Muhimu	We know you will! We trust you, Kion! Right, everyone?
Beshte, Fuli, gazelles, and zebras	Yeah! cheer Woo-hoo!
	Bunga does a flip.
Bunga	Zuka zama!
Kion	Uh, thanks. Well, let's move out! Ono, point the way!
Ono	Affirmative!
	Ono flies off. Cut to two butterflies flying past the herds as they walk through the Pride Lands.
Alex Cartañá	♪ There's a land of promise ahead, [A baby gazelle lags behind. It yawns.] though, now, it's far away. [An adult gazelle nudges the calf forward, with Beshte looking on. Cut to the calf curled up on Beshte's back as the herds continue walking.] Journey with all of our friends [A zebra pauses and looks over one shoulder wistfully.] to a place that we can stay. [Ono flies higher.] So, leave all your worries behind, because new life awaits us, [Cut to the gazelles prancing past. Beshte prances alongside them.] fields that are green. [Cut to Fuli smiling. She looks over one shoulder.] Keep moving forward, [A zebra starts to stray, so Fuli runs into its path. It turns and follows the herds again.] hard as it seems. [Cut to the zebras' reflections as they walk past a puddle.] A new road to freedom. [A zebra drinks.] Just follow the sun [Fade to a shot of the sun. Kion strides into frame, smiling. Cut to the herds following the Lion Guard through the Pride Lands.] on a trail to hope. [Kion strides to the edge of a cliff.] We've only begun. [The rest of the Lion Guard joins Kion.] We've only begun. ♪
	The Lion Guard surveys Mbali Fields in the distance. Cut to Ono landing on a rock, and Kion bounding up to him.
Kion	How's it look from above, Ono?
Ono	So far, so good. Though it seems like everyone's slowing down.
Kion	I'd better give 'em some encouragement. [The herds stride toward Kion, who turns to face them.] Hey, everyone!
Gazelles and zebras	neigh
Kion	I know you're tired, and I know you're hungry, but...
Zebra	We were hungry when we started!
Zebra	Now, we're starving!
Kion	It's not much farther, I promise. We'll get to Mbali Fields soon! [in an aside to Ono] We will get to Mbali Fields soon, right?
	Ono points.
Ono	Affirmative. [Cut to a shot of the cliff. Kion and Ono stand at the top.] We just have to go down this steep slope and through the canyon. [Cut to a shot of the canyon. Kion surveys the route.] You can see the Fields from here. [Cut to Ono eyeing thunderclouds worriedly.] I just hope we get there before the storm hits.
Kion	We're almost there, everyone! See the patch of green at the end of the canyon?
Muhimu	exhales Look at all that grass. I can almost taste it from here. Oh, yummy!
Bunga	Yummy? You know it's gonna taste like...grass, right?
Muhimu	Yes! I can't wait. In fact, I can't wait! neighs
	Muhimu runs off.
Bunga	Whoa! Muhimu?
	Muhimu charges through the zebras.
Muhimu	Out of my way! I'm coming, grass! I'm coming!
Zebra	Great idea!
Zebra	Let's go eat!
Zebras	bray
	The zebras race after Muhimu. Cut to Kion and Ono.
Kion	Uh-oh.
	Ono takes to the air.
Ono	Hapana!
Kion	Everyone! Slow down! The slope is too steep.
Zebras	bray
	The zebras leap over Kion, who ducks.
Kion	grunts
Zebras	whoop Yeah! Woo-hoo!
	The zebras race down the slope.
Fuli	sighs No way this ends well.
Swala	What are we waiting for? Let's run!
	The gazelles race down the slope.
Kion	Lion Guard, we've gotta stop them!
	The Lion Guard races down the slope, with Fuli in the lead.
Fuli	Meet you at the front of the herd. Huwezi!
	The Lion Guard runs alongside the gazelles and the zebras as they enter the canyon. A rock on the side of the canyon begins to rumble ominously.
Zebras	bray
	Ono notices the unstable rock.
Ono	Hapana! Kion? We have a problem!
Zebras	bray
	Kion notices the unstable rock.
Kion	I'm on it!
Zebras	bray
	The Lion Guard races ahead of the herds. The rock falls into the canyon, blocking the trail. Fuli and Kion double back and run toward the herds.
Kion	Everyone, stop!
Gazelles and zebras	whimper
	The gazelles and zebras pull to a halt.
Kion	Back! Run back now!
	The gazelles and zebras turn tail and flee in the opposite direction. Bunga notices something. He shoves Muhimu aside.
Muhimu	squeals [Rocks fall where Muhimu had been standing. The Lion Guard approaches the blocked passage. Meanwhile, Bunga lies, winded, on top of Muhimu.] Why did you shove me? Don't you know I'm in a family way?
Bunga	No, you were in the rocks' way! I was trying to save your life!
Muhimu	Oh. Well, that's different. Now, could you please get up? You're sitting on me!
Bunga	[smugly] Well, now, you know how it feels!
	Bunga hops off Muhimu. She stands.
Muhimu	What's that supposed to mean? Oh, never mind. Odd little hedgehog.
	Muhimu stamps away.
Bunga	I'm a honey badger!
	Cut to the Lion Guard standing in front of the blocked passage.
Kion	sighs Guess we're not as close as we thought.
Beshte	What do we do now, Kion?
Kion	Well, the herds can't go over it, and we can't go through it. So, we've got to go around it. Ono, scout out another route to the grazing grounds.
Ono	I'm on it.
	Ono flies off. Swala approaches.
Swala	I blame the zebras for this.
	Ono flies higher, looking around. His vision flickers, and he looks around the canyon. Finally, his vision settles on the Outlands.
Ono	Oh, no.
	Ono lands in front of Kion.
Kion	Any luck?
Ono	Well, I did find another route to the grazing grounds.
Beshte	That's great!
Ono	But it goes through the Outlands.
Bunga	That's not so great.
Kion	I promised my dad we'd get these herds to their new home. And if we have to go through the Outlands to get there, then that's what we're going to do.
Bunga	At least we've got one thing going for us. That storm hasn't started yet. [Thunder booms overhead, and a fork of lightning flickers in the clouds. Rain begins to fall.] Maybe I shouldn't have said that out loud.
	Cut to a chameleon standing on a rock. It walks offscreen. The camera pans to show the herds and the Lion Guard tramping through the canyon.
Muhimu	[to two zebras] I'm starting to wonder if Kion knows what he's doing. He says we're almost there. Now, he's taking us in a different direction!
Zebra	Has he ever even led a migration?
Zebra	Maybe we should've stayed home.
Swala	If Simba had brought us, we'd be there by now. [Kion pauses, listening.] I'm not sure Kion can handle a trip like this.
	Kion rolls his eyes and continues walking.
Kion	groans
	Cut to Fuli walking through several inches of water.
Fuli	Is it just me, or is this water getting deeper?
	A gazelle bounds past Fuli.
Gazelle	grunts
	Fuli looks over one shoulder. The sound of rushing water is heard. Cut to floodwaters sweeping through the canyon.
Fuli	gasps Oh, no. Kion, look out!
	Kion jumps back toward the herds.
Kion	Flash flood!
	The gazelles and zebras flee the water.
Gazelles and zebras	scream
Kion	Higher ground, everyone! Move!
Gazelles and zebras	scream
	The Lion Guard runs alongside the herds. The floodwaters begin to sweep up the gazelles and zebras. Cut to the Lion Guard watching from a high ledge. Several gazelles and zebras huddle behind them.
Kion	No animal gets lost! Let's go! Ono, keep these animals on safer ground! We'll get the others!
	The Lion Guard jumps off the ledge.
Ono	You got it! [Ono flies toward the herds.] Zebras! Gazelles! This way! [Ono leads the herds up a nearby slope.] Uphill!
	Cut to two zebras being swept along by the floodwaters.
Zebras	Help! Help me!
	Beshte runs up.
Beshte	I'm coming, zebras! [Beshte runs along the shore, then jumps into the water ahead of the zebras. He begins to wade against the current.] grunts
Zebras	Help! Help! [One of the zebras catches on to Beshte's back. Beshte ducks his head underwater and lifts the other zebra onto his back.] yell
	Beshte walks underwater against the current. He heaves the zebras onto dry land.
Beshte	grunts [Beshte collapses next to the zebras.] groans
	Cut to a gazelle fleeing the floodwaters. Fuli runs along the shore.
Fuli	Not gonna lose you, gazelle. [Fuli jumps down toward the gazelle and pushes it to safety.] grunts
	The gazelle lands on its back, with Fuli on top.
Gazelle	grunts [Fuli hops off the gazelle, and it stands.] pants Thank you, Fuli.
	Cut to Swala being carried down the canyon by floodwaters.
Swala	Kion!
	Cut to Kion climbing a dead tree that overhangs the floodwaters.
Kion	Don't panic, Swala! I'll get you!
Swala	Whoa!
	Swala is swept toward Kion's tree.
Kion	Here we go!
Swala	Whoa! Whoa!
	As Swala is swept past, Kion bites her by the horn and drags her toward shore.
Kion	groans
Swala	whimpers
	Kion and Swala collapse on the shore.
Kion and Swala	pant
	Cut to Bunga shoving a gazelle.
Bunga	grunts
Muhimu	[from offscreen] Help! [Cut to Muhimu being carried down the canyon by floodwaters.] Help me!
Bunga	Muhimu! I'm coming! [Bunga jumps into the water.] Zuka zama! [Bunga paddles toward Muhimu.] pants [Bunga hugs Muhimu's side.] Gotcha, Muhimu!
Muhimu	You've got me? You're the size of my head!
Bunga	Then it's a good thing you've got a big head. [Bunga paddles toward shore, dragging Muhimu along.] grunts Muhimu, work with me here!
Muhimu	I'm trying, but it's hard! I am swimming for two!
Bunga	I'm the one swimming for two! Now, help me out and paddle!
	Bunga continues to swim Muhimu toward shore. She paddles feebly with her front hooves. At last, Bunga and Muhimu make it to shore.
Bunga	pants [Bunga and Muhimu collapse.] groans pants
Muhimu	Well, now that you've saved me twice, I suppose I should admit it. I did sit on you.
Bunga	Yeah! [Bunga looks down at himself.] I've still got the stripe marks to prove it.
	Muhimu stands.
Muhimu	Anyway, I'm sorry. And...thank you.
	Bunga waves dismissively.
Bunga	Hakuna matata. Come on. We have to get to higher ground.
	Bunga runs off. Cut to the herds gathered beside a river. Kion spectates from a nearby ledge.
Zebras	bray
	Ono flies up to Kion.
Zebra	Who takes the low ground during a rainstorm?
Swala	Yes, he saved me, but it's his fault I was in trouble in the first place, right?
	The gazelles nod. The camera pans up to show Kion looking down at the herds, distressed and sad. He walks away, and the Lion Guard watches him with concern.
Bunga	clears throat So, um, [Bunga paces toward Kion.] Kion, what now? [Bunga pauses. Kion looks down at the ground, his back to his friends.] Kion?
Kion	I don't know. [Kion looks over one shoulder at the Lion Guard.] Keep an eye on the herds. I'll be back.
	Kion walks into a narrow pass. The Lion Guard watches him with concern. Cut to Kion approaching a cliff's edge, with roiling clouds overhead. Several shafts of light shine from the clouds, and Mufasa's face forms in the clouds.
Mufasa	Kion, something's troubling you.
Kion	Grandfather, I don't know what to do. Dad trusted me to lead the herds. But everything went wrong. And now, they all think I'm a bad leader. And I think they might be right.
Mufasa	Kion, don't let their lack of faith affect yours.
Kion	I really do want them to trust me.
Mufasa	They will. As long as you trust yourself. Confidence, Kion. That's all you need to complete this journey. But confidence doesn't come from what others think about you. It comes from inside yourself.
	Mufasa fades into the clouds.
Kion	Thank you, Grandfather.
	Kion turns and walks away. Cut to a river. The camera pans up to show the gazelles and zebras milling together, while the Lion Guard watches from nearby.
Beshte	You think Kion's gonna be okay?
Bunga	Sure he is! He's Kion!
Kion	[from offscreen] Hey, guys!
	Cut to Kion approaching Swala and a zebra.
Zebra	The herds have been talking, and we're not happy.
Swala	You promised us the trip would end in a huge field with enough grass for everyone.
Kion	We're not there yet. It's taking longer than we thought. But I know we'll make it. Trust me.
	Kion bounds in-between Swala and the zebra.
Swala	I'm not sure I do.
	Cut to a gazelle and a zebra.
Zebra	Me neither!
Gazelle	I'm with Swala!
	Bunga jerks a thumb at himself.
Bunga	Well, I trust Kion!
	Muhimu steps forward.
Muhimu	So do I! I agree. The trip hasn't gone the way we hoped. [Cut to Beshte, Kion, the gazelles, and the zebras listening to Muhimu.] But it's not Kion's fault! Part of it was mine. We all know I started the stampede. If I hadn't, we wouldn't have had to change course. And who can predict a flash flood? [Swala and the zebra exchange glances.] But Kion and the Lion Guard got us through it safe and sound. [Muhimu approaches Kion.] I have faith in you, Kion. [Muhimu bows to Kion. She stands and circles behind him.] And... And I promise to make things easier from now on, not harder.
Kion	Thanks, Muhimu. [Kion climbs onto a rock and overlooks the herds.] There's a whole new life for you at Mbali Fields. Now, we have to cut through the Outlands. I won't lie. There are predators there. But you're with the Lion Guard, and we'll keep you safe. That's a promise! We will keep you safe! So, who's ready?
Zebra	I am.
Gazelle	Me too.
	One of the gazelles stands.
Gazelle	Let's do it.
Gazelles and zebras	cheer Woo-hoo! Yeah!
	The camera pans right to show Muhimu sitting next to Bunga.
Muhimu	You'll keep me safe, right?
Bunga	'Course I will! What are friends for?
	Muhimu stands.
Muhimu	We're friends?
Bunga	Sure! As long as you promise not to sit on me again.
	Cut to Kion. He bounds off the rock.
Kion	This way, everyone! [Kion runs offscreen, and the herds follow. Cut to the Lion Guard leading the herds through the Outlands. Kion pauses and speaks in an undertone.] Remember, everybody. We're in the Outlands now. Be as quiet as you can. Got it?
Zebra	[loudly] But what if...?
Muhimu	Shhh! Kion said to be... screams [Muhimu collapses on her stomach.] It's time!
Bunga	Yeah! [Bunga grabs Muhimu by the muzzle.] Time to stay quiet!
Muhimu	No! Time for the baby!
Bunga	What baby?
Muhimu	The baby I'm about to have!
Bunga	Baby? You're having a baby? [Bunga mimics cradling a baby.] Like, a baby baby? Like, a baby baby baby? [Muhimu nods.] Why didn't you tell me?
Muhimu	Gah! I've been telling you the whole time, you silly honey badger.
Bunga	Yes! I'm a honey badger... [dramatically] You're having a baby!
	Ono, who is in midair, collapses onto his stomach.
Ono	gasps
Muhimu	Now, who's not being quiet?
Kion	You're having a baby? Right now? [Muhimu nods. Kion looks at Fuli and Ono in consternation.] What do we do?
Fuli	How should I know?
Ono	I only know about eggs.
Swala	Leave it to us. She'll need help, ladies. Who's with me? [Several female zebras gather around Muhimu and Swala. Swala looks down at Bunga.] She'll want some privacy.
	Bunga begins to back away.
Bunga	[awkwardly] Uh, no problems. [Bunga salutes Swala.] See you later!
Muhimu	Wait! Actually, I'll feel safer if you're nearby. You saved me before. I wouldn't even be here to have this baby if it weren't for you.
Bunga	[awkwardly] Really? Okay! Um... How "nearby" do I have to be?
Muhimu	groans Uh-oh! Here we go!
	Swala and the zebras crowd around Muhimu, obscuring her from the audience.
Bunga	Not too nearby then. Good.
Beshte	A baby zebra? It's gonna be so cute!
Fuli	But we're in the Outlands. There's predators everywhere! She can't have the baby here!
	Ono takes to the air. He looks down on Swala and the zebras who are circling Muhimu.
Ono	She can...
Zebra	brays
Ono	...and she is!
	Ono flies offscreen.
Beshte	Then we're gonna have to stay here 'till she's had it.
Kion	No. [Ono lands next to Fuli and Kion.] Fuli's right. There's a lot of predators out here. If we want to keep everyone safe, we need to split up. You three, take the herds to the new grazing grounds. [Beshte nods. Kion strides away from Fuli and Ono.] I'll stay here with Bunga and Muhimu.
Fuli	No! What if there's an attack? You'll need our help!
Kion	What I need is to protect the Circle of Life. That means taking care of this baby and the herds. [Fuli's ears droop with concern.] Fuli, you know it's the right thing to do.
Fuli	scoffs Doesn't mean I have to like it.
Kion	Wouldn't expect you to.
	Fuli walks off. Ono salutes Kion.
Ono	See you at the grazing grounds.
	Ono flies after Fuli. The herds follow Fuli and Ono.
Fuli	[from offscreen] Come on, everyone.
	Beshte walks alongside the herds. Cut to Bunga trying to peer between the zebras who are circling Muhimu.
Muhimu	[from offscreen] brays pants
Bunga	Um, how you doin', Muhimu? Muhimu? Everything okay?
Hamu	[from offscreen] neighs
Bunga	Hey, that's pretty good! You made your voice sound just like a... [realizing] A baby! Your baby! It's here!
	Kion bounds over to join Bunga. The zebras part to show a foal standing next to Muhimu. The foal nuzzles his mother.
Muhimu	Oh, it's a boy.
Hamu	neighs
Kion and Bunga	Whoa.
Bunga	Look at that. [Hamu totters toward Bunga.] He's pretty cute. Does he do anything?
Muhimu	Like what?
Bunga	I dunno. Like play or tell jokes?
Hamu	neighs
	Hamu's neigh echoes across the Outlands. Atop a nearby ridge, Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu emerge.
Cheezi	Ha! Did you hear that?
Janja	Yeah. Sounded like a snack! A whole pack of snacks! A snack pack! giggles
	Cheezi narrows his eyes, then shades them with a paw.
Cheezi	That's not all, Janja. Kion and Bunga are down there too!
Janja	So what? [Janja rolls his eyes.] When we run in, they're gonna protect the baby. But the big zebras and the gazelle are gonna [mockingly] panic and run.
Cheezi	Oh, yeah!
Chungu	laughs Zebras always do that!
Janja	And then, we can pick 'em off without even thinkin'!
Chungu	Without thinking? Good! That's how we do everything!
Cheezi and Chungu	laugh
	Cut to Bunga holding Hamu by the shoulder.
Bunga	That was really cool but a little loud. [Bunga pats Hamu reassuringly.] Not your fault. You weren't born yet when Kion told us to be quiet, but...
Janja	[from offscren] Okay, zebras! [Cut to Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu standing atop the ridge.] Better run! [Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu slide down the ridge.] 'Cause here we come!
Swala and zebras	Hyenas! [Swala and the zebras begin to run around in panic.] screams
	Two zebras rear onto their hind legs.
Zebras	Panic and run! Panic and run! bray
Kion	No! That's just what they want! We have to stick together! Circle around Muhimu and the baby! Now!
Muhimu	Everyone! Stop running and listen to Kion!
	The zebras pull to a halt.
Zebras	nicker
Kion	[to Muhimu] Thanks. [Cut to Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu charging toward the zebras.] Now, circle up!
	Bunga, Kion, Swala, and the zebras assume defensive positions around Muhimu and Hamu. Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu halt before the group.
Janja	What's the matter, zebras? Not gonna run? Don't we scare you?
Cheezi	[tauntingly] Whoo! chuckles
Chungu	chuckles [tauntingly] Oogie boogie boogie! cackles
Kion	Forget it, Janja. We're not making it easy for you. You'll have to deal with all of us.
Janja	Our pleasure. [Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu lunge at the zebras.] growls
	Kion intercepts Janja's attack, while Bunga intercepts Cheezi's.
