## Dialogue

    Morton: Gathering, gathering! Nigel, that includes you.
    [Nigel looks up, disturbed]
    Morton: Beaks closed, ears open!
    Cecil: Friends, wanderers, marabous! When those Zambezians flocked together, they created an inside!
    Morton: [supporting every word] Inside!
    Cecil: And an outside!
    Morton: Outside!
    Cecil: And if you hadn't noticed, we are on the outside.
    Morton: Here we are!
    Cecil: The Cold, lonely, Desolate, outside.
    Morton: Hooo, hooo, hooo, hooo, hooo, hooo! [pretends to be chilly] Frigid Africa.
    Cecil: And why?
    Morton: Don't know, it's a mystery! [gets slapped by Cecil]
    Cecil: Because, they didn't like the look of us.
    Marabous: And what is wrong with what we look like?
    Cecil: They just want their little tree-house all to themselves! How sporty is that!
    Morton: Very sporty! [gets slapped again]
    Cecil: Not very!
    Morton: No! terrible!
    Cecil: Not very in my book. Which is precisely, why we should accept Budzo's proposal.
    Marabous: Since when a Marabou servants to a lizard?
    Morton: He's got a point!
    Cecil: We will be working with Budzo, thickhead, not FOR Budzo! We are partners in this great endeavour!
    Morton: Teamwork!
    Cecil: We help Budzo get on the island, we share all the goodies!
    [Cecil Laughs, so does Morton]
    Morton: I am getting hungry just thinking about it. [gets slapped by Cecil]
    Marabous: Ummm, question! Could those hurricanes be a problem?
    Cecil: Hurricanes, huh! [making a trifling gesture]
    Morton: Don't make him laugh!
    Cecil: Budzo possesses unrivaled brut strength. With his help a new wind will blow across this valley.
    [Morton pretends that there is a heavy wind]
    Cecil: A wind of change-uh!
    [Cecil slaps Morton]
    Marabous: I say, good shot! Give us another! [gets slapped by the Marabou next to him]
