The River of Patience/Transcript

[The Lion Guard, Makini and the Night Pride stand in front of the Tree of Life]
Beshte: 
Poa. The Tree of Life is huge! 
Rani: 
Yes, it is. Now follow me.
[Everyone walks inside the Tree of Life]
Kion:
Heyvi kabisa.
[Everyone stands in front of Queen Janna]
Rani: 
Grandmother. As requested, I have brought Kion and the Lion Guard. Lion Guard? This is Queen Janna, Guardian of the Tree of Life.
Janna: 
Be welcome here. 
[The Lion Guard and Makini bow to the queen]
Kion: 
Thank you, Your Majesty. My Friend Ono and I have come to be healed.
Janna: 
Step closer, Kion and Ono. [Kion and Ono comes closer to Queen Janna] You have the Mark of the Guard. You are from the Pride Lands then?
Kion: 
Uh, yeah. 
Ono: 
Indeed.
Janna: 
And so, the Roar has returned.
Kion: 
You know about the Roar?
Janna: 
Of course, Kion. I take it that Rafiki sent you here?
Kion: 
Yes. Ono's eyes are hurt. And my scar... I can't control the Roar.
Janna: :
So, I have heard. Nirmala? [Nirmala witnesses Kion's scar and Ono's eyes] Nirmala is a fierce warrior. But she is also a gentle healer. 
Nirmala:
[Nirmala walks up to Queen Janna] (Whispering)
Janna: 
Ono, healing your sight will be simple. But the remedy will take a few days to prepare.
Ono: 
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Janna: 
Kion? Your ailments are more complicated. It is more than just a scar. Your healing will take time. And patience. 
Kion: 
Then I'd like to start right away. 
Janna: 
I'm sure you would. Nirmala?
Nirmala: 
We'll begin today.
Kion: 
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Nirmala: 
This way, Kion. 
[Kion leaves with Nirmala]
Janna: 
Rani? Please show our other guests around.
Rani: 
Show them around? But I...
Janna: 
Baliyo and Surak can handle the Night Pride duties for now. You must continue to take on the duties that I cannot perform. 
Rani: 
(Sighs) Yes. Of course. Follow me.
[Everyones leaves the Tree of Life except for Makini]
Janna: 
Little Makini. Please stay.
Makini: 
[Excited] You remember me?
Janna: 
Of course. Though you were much smaller when you and your parents came here to meet Rafiki. 
Makini: 
(Screams) Yes! This is where Rafiki said I'd be a Royal Mjuzi someday! He started my training!
Janna: 
And we will continue your training here, if you'd like.
Makini: 
(Gasps) I'd be honored!
[The scene cuts to Dirisha also known as the The River of Patience and Nirmala starts to heal Kion]
Nirmala: 
This is Dirisha. The River of Patience.
Kion: 
And this is where you'll heal my scar? So I can control the Roar?
Nirmala: 
This is the first of many steps on your journey to healing.
Kion: 
How long's it gonna take?
Nirmala: 
That depends on you. As Queen Janna said, you must have patience. Look at the top of that ridge. Do see the bright orange flower? 
Kion: 
Yeah?
Nirmala: 
I need you to bring it to me.
Kion: 
I'll be right back.
Nirmala: 
[Nirmala stops Kion] Easy, Kion. Arama karo. You need to follow my instructions. First, you'll need to wait for a log to float past. Hop on to the log, and ride it down the river. Once you reach that sandy bank, jump off. Then take the winding path up to the top of the ridge. 
Kion: 
Wouldn't it be faster just to swim across the river? Then climb the ridge to get to the flower.
Nirmala: 
Possibly. But the fast way isn't always the best way.
Kion: 
Where have I heard that before? [Kion rubs his eye because of his scar] (Sighs) Okay. I'll try it you're way. So where are the logs? 
Nirmala: 
One will come. 
Kion: 
Yeah, but how long is that gonna take? It could be days!
Nirmala: 
Then we wait for days. 
Kion: 
(Sighs loudly) Fine.
[The scene cuts to another area outside of the Tree of Life]
Rani: 
You might wonder what makes the Tree of Life such a special place.
Anga: 
Wow.
Beshte: 
Poa.
Rani:
As you can see, the Tree of Life is a home to every kind of habitat.  [Rani shows the Lion Guard her home]
[Music starts]
[Rani and the Lion Guard walk around her home]
Rani:
:¶ Welcome to the Tree of Life
[Rani and the Lion Guard Ciso's River]
:¶ A wondrous mystic place
:¶ We're living life in harmony
:¶ It's what we all embrace
[Beshte and Ono listen to Rani]
:¶ So, if you need healing
[Bunga and Fuli walk around]
:¶ Shelter free of sorrow and strife
[Rani and the Lion walk through the willows and desert]
:¶ You will be welcome
:¶ Welcome to the Tree of Life
[Rani and the Lion Guard walk past camels]
:¶ Desert, forest, tundra, plain
[Rani and the Lion Guard walk up a rocky hill]
:¶ Are brought together here
[Rani and the Lion Guard walk through tundra and past polar bears]
:¶ So, animals from near and far
[Bunga puts snow on his toung]
:¶ Live in peace and without fear
[Rani and the Lion Guard walk up a rocky hill]
:¶ So, if you need healing
:¶ Shelter free of sorrow and strife
[Bunga, Fuli, Beshte and Ono walk up a rocky hill]
:¶ You will be welcome
[Rani and the Lion Guard walk through the Marsh forest]
:¶ Welcome to the Tree of Life
[A bunch of pikas walk by Beshte and Ono]
:¶ Respect for fellow animals
:¶ Is all you need to stay
[Lemurs jump over Fuli]
:¶ (All you need to stay)
[Astuto's Kit runs past and jumps on Bunga's head]
:¶ But, no one living here
[Anga flys with a bunch of different birds]
:¶ Would want it any other way
[Rani hops on a log]
:¶ So, if you need healing
:¶ Shelter free of sorrow and strife
[Rani and the Lion Guard walk past Heng-Heng
:¶ Know you are welcome
[Rani and the Lion Guard walk past Pratibimba]
:¶ Welcome to the Tree of Life
[Rani and the Lion Guard stand outside of the Tree of Life]
:¶ You know you are welcome
[Rani looks at her home]
:¶ Welcome to the Tree of Life
[Music stops]
Rani: 
All are welcome here, as long as they respect the Circle of Life.
[The scene cuts to the Mountain pass and Makucha's Army heads towards the Tree of Life]
Makucha:
[Chuckling loudly] Almost there. Soon all of those rare, delicious animals will be ours!
Ora: 
You sure, Makucha? I cannot see the Tree of Life anywhere. 
Makucha:
Ora. I'm following their scent. 
Chuluun: 
Yes. The honey badger's stink is unforgettable.
Makucha:
Chuluun. Ora. Listen up. This is what we're gonna do. 
Chuluun:
I don't take orders from anyone.
Ora: 
Nor do I! My venom can knock you both down for a week.
Ullu:
[Ullu is seen a tree near by] Hoo?
Ora: 
Then all those rare animals will be mine.
[The scene cuts to Rani and the Lion Guard who are in Tundra]
UllU:
Hoo? [Ullu goes to warn Rani]
Rani: 
Hold up, everyone. 
Ullu: 
(Whispering)
Rani: 
Tour's over. Gotta go. [Rani and Ullu leaves]
Anga: 
What was that?
Fuli: 
I don't know. But something's up.
[The scene cuts to Kion and Nirmala at The River of Patience]
Kion: 
(Sighs in exasperation) I could have waited for logs back in the Pride Lands.
Nirmala: 
But Rafiki sent you here to be healed. Doubtless because Askari first discovered the Roar at Chikha Escarpment, not far from here. 
Kion: 
What? He did? Finally! [Kion hops on a log but falls] (Grunts) Whoa! 
Nirmala: 
Try again.
Kion: 
(Sighs) And we're waiting. Again.  [Kion gets out of the water]
Rani:
[Rani shows up to warn Nrimala] Nirmala!
Kion: 
(Gasps)
Rani: 
Come quickly. We need you!
Kion: 
Do you need me too? 
Nirmala: 
Yes. We need you to stay here and focus on your task. [Nirmala leaves with Rani]
Kion: 
(Sighs)
[The scene cuts back to the Mountain Pass and Makucha's Army gets closer to the Tree of Life]
Makucha:
This is it! The scent's getting stronger. Just follow me!
Chuluun: 
If you want us to follow, stop talking and start leading!
Makucha:
Fine. Come on! Those rare animals will never know we're coming!
[The Night Pride shows up to fight]
Rani: 
Maybe not... But we know. 
Makucha:
Who are you?
Rani: 
We are the Night Pride. And you have one chance to turn around and go back where you came from.
Baliyo:
You should probably take her offer.
Makucha:
Thanks, but no thanks! (Growling) 
Rani: 
With strength and respect...
Night Pride: 
Night Pride protect! [The Night Pride goes after Makucha's Army]
[The scene cuts back to Kion and the Lion Guard walk up to him]
[Kion is seen falling asleep]
Fuli: 
Kion!
Kion: 
(Gasps) I'm awake. 
Bunga: 
Why are you just sitting here?
Kion: 
I'm waiting for a log.
Anga: 
Sounds fun.
Bunga:
Oooh, yeah! It does! [Bunga lies on his stomach]
Kion: 
It's really not.
Fuli: 
Something's going on. That owl came to get Rani, and she just ran off. Think they could use some help?
Kion: 
They might. Come on!
Bunga: 
Wait! I didn't get to see a log!
[The scene cuts back to the Night Pride fighting Makucha's Army]
Makucha:
Take your best shot! (Grunts) [Makucha fights Baliyo]
Ora: 
(Scoffs) Not bad. 
Makucha:
(Panting) Whose side are you on?
Ora: 
My side, Makucha! Always! (Low growling)
Rani: And Ora: 
[Rani fights Ora] (Both Grunting) [Rani knocks down Ora]
Rani: 
(Growling) [Rani jumps on Chuluun]
Chuluun: 
(Gasps)
Rani: 
Get out! [Rani kicks Chuluun]
Chluun: 
(Grunts)
Makucha:
No!
[Chuluun knocks into Makucha and Ora and they all leave]
Rani: 
Now leave! And never come back! Well done, Night Pride.
[The Lion Guard run into the Night Pride]
Kion: 
Heyvi kabisa!
All: 
(Grunting) [Everyone knocks into each other]
Rani: 
Kion? Lion Guard? What are you doing here?
Kion: 
We came to help?
Bunga: 
That's right! Where are the bad guys? Let me at 'em!
Rani: 
They're gone. Defending the Tree of Life is our job. And we're good at it.
Kion: 
But...
Rani:
We don't need your help. You came for healing. So stay out of our way, get healed, and go home.
Baliyo: 
Besides, it was just two leopards and a Komodo dragon. No big deal.
Ono: 
Two leopards? And a Komodo dragon?
Nirmala: 
They didn't seem to like each other very much.
Surak: 
True. Perhaps that is why they didn't fight well together.
Baliyo: 
I don't know. That big leopard, Makucha? He fought pretty good.
Kion: 
(Shocked) Makucha?
Rani:
What?
Kion: 
We know Makucha. And probably the other two. They must have followed us here. 
Rani:
They followed you?
Kion: 
I'm really sorry. This is all our fault.
[The scene cuts to inside the Tree of Life]
Janna: 
And that is Askari, when he first discovered the Roar of the Elders. I'm glad you are here, Makini. It's been some time since we've had a Royal Mjuzi That bakora staff was hers. Before she completed her journey on the Circle of Life.
Makini:
Oh! [Makini picks up the staff] It's beautiful. 
Janna: 
If you like it, it's yours now.
Makini:
Really?
[Rani and Kion walk into the Tree of Life]
Rani: 
Grandmother! 
Janna: 
Rani? Is something wrong?
Rani: 
You could say that. Kion led an army of predators here!
Makini:
An army of predators? [Makini stands close to Janna]
Kion: 
I wouldn't call three an army.
Rani: 
We never should have let him in.
Kion: 
I am sorry, Your Majesty. I had no idea they were following us. 
Janna: 
I doubt they will leave now that they have found the Tree of Life.
Kion: 
At least let me and the Lion Guard help with Makucha and...
Rani:
[Rani walks closer to Kion] (In anger) No! I told you! We can handle it!
Janna: 
Rani?
Rani: 
Sorry, Grandmother.
Janna: 
Thank you for your offer, Kion. But Rani is correct. It is the Night Pride's duty to protect the Tree of Life.
Kion: 
Yeah, but it's my fault that... 
Janna: 
Kion. You must help yourself before you can help others. Now go. And let Nirmala guide you. After all, that is why you have come to the Tree of Life.
Kion: 
(Sighs) Yes, Your Majesty. 
[The scene cuts back to the River of Patience and Kion and Nirmala waits for a log]
Kion:
Still no log. (Sighs) Nirmala, if you'd let me do it my way, I'd have the flower and be back by now!
Nirmala: 
Let me guide you, Kion. Like Queen Janna said.
Kion: 
Argh... Yes!  [Kion sees a log]
Nirmala: 
Patience, Kion. 
Kion: 
Forget it! This time I'm doing it my way!
Nirmala: 
If you must.
Kion: 
[Kion tries to swim but struggles] Whoa. This current is stronger than it looked. (Grunting) [Kion makes it to land] (Panting) 
Nirmala: 
This way, Kion! Follow me!
Kion: 
Straight up the slope looks faster to me. Whoa. [Kion climbs up the slope but struggles] (Grunting) Almost there...
Nirmala: 
How's that going for you?
Kion: 
It's going just... Fine! (Groans) [Kion slides down the slope] Where's the flower? Why didn't you get it while you were up there?
Nirmala: 
This is your task, Kion. It's almost night. You should get some sleep while I go on patrol. Tomorrow is a very important day. 
Kion:
Yeah? What's gonna happen tomorrow?
Nirmala: 
Tomorrow you're going to try again. 
[The scene cuts to night time where the Lion Guard is hanging out]
Kion: 
(Sighs) "Try again. Try again." That's all Nirmala ever says! Ugh! But how is falling into a river supposed to heal me?
Bunga: 
Sounds like fun to me!
Beshte: 
I'm sure tomorrow will be better.
FUli: 
Kion, you can do anything you put your mind to.
Bunga: 
Yeah! You're Kion! Leader of the Lion Guard! You never give up.
Beshte: 
Bunga's right.
Anga: 
Yep.
Ono: 
Indeed.
Kion:
Okay. I'll try again tomorrow.
[The scene cuts to the Night Pride who goes on patrol]
Rani: 
Is Kion healed yet?
Nirmala: 
Rani. You sound just like him. It's going to take time.
Rani: 
I hope it doesn't take too long. Kion and the Lion Guard are nothing but trouble.
Surak: 
Speaking of trouble, look who's back.
[Makucha's Army comes back and sneaks up on the Night Pride]
Baliyo: 
They're trying to sneak up in the dark? What part of Night Pride didn't they understand?
Chuluun: 
Ora! Pick your tail up! My plan is to sneak in under cover of darkness. They won't see us. But they might hear us!
[The Night Pride watches over Makcuha's Army]
Baliyo: 
Nah! We saw you too.
Chulunn: 
What?
Rani:
We're the Night Pride. Remember?
Baliyo: 
Lada'i! [Baliyo fights Ora]
[Surak fights Chuluun and Rani fights Makucha]
(All Grunting)
Rani: 
And this time stay out!
[Makucha's Army gets kicked out and the Night Pride leaves]
Makucha: 
Great plan, Chuluun. Let's attack the Night Pride at night.
Ora: 
Yes! Enough sneaking around! Next time we do it the dragon way! Go in fast, go in mean, and bite everything we see! 
[The scene cuts to early next morning and Nirmala and Kion continue healing]
Nirmala: 
(Yawning) Kion? 
kion: 
I'm ready to try again.
Nirmala: 
Excellent. And it looks like I got here just in time.
[A log comes up]
Kion: 
Patience. Patience. [Kion jumps on the log]
Nirmala: 
Well done!
Kion: 
Try again.  [Kion goes to the other side on the log]
Nirmala: 
Good job, Kion! Now you're getting it
Ullu: 
[Ullu comes up] (Hooting) Nirmala! Rani needs you! The predators are attacking again!
Kion: 
I'll come with you. They followed me here. Let me help kick them out!
Nirmala: 
You're the one in need of help, Kion. Remember? Stay focused and finish your task. No matter what! [Nirmala goes with Uluu]
Kion: 
(Sighs) Stay focused... Finish the task. 
[Thee scene cuts back to the Mountain Pass and the Night Pride gets ready to fight Makucha's Army]
Rani: 
With strength and respect... 
All: 
Night Pride protect!
[The Night Pride goes after Makucha's Army]
Ora: 
Now! Hit them hard, and hit them fast!
Makucha: 
I got a better idea. Let's find another way in! [Makucha and Chuluun find another way to the Tree of Life]
Ora:
What?! No! I am in charge! Remember?
Rani:
They're trying to go around us! Come on.
[Makucha's Army hits a dead end]
Ora: 
Dead end. Now we do it my way. We stand and fight!
Chuluun: 
You do it your way. I'll do it mine!
[Rani fights Makucha]
Ora: And Makucha: 
(Growling)
Baliyo: 
[Baliyo fights Ora] Surak! Look out!
Surak: 
[Surak ducks from Chuluun] (Growling)
Baliyo: 
Nice move. [Ora bites Baliyo and knocks him down] Guys, I'm down.
Rani: 
Hey. That's my little brother you bit! [Rani fights Ora]
Rani: and Ora:
(Both Grunting)
Makucha: 
Nice work, Ora. Now it's three against three.
[The scene cuts back to Kion]
Kion: 
Made it. Now where's that flower?
Rani:
[Off-screen] (Screams)
Kion: 
[Kion sees the Night Pride in danger] Heyvi kabisa! The Night Pride. And Baliyo's down. Nirmala said to finish the task. No matter what. [Kion grabs the flower] But now I can help!
(All growling)
[Makucha's Army circles around the Night Pride]
Rani:
Baliyo.
Chuluun: 
[Chuluun goes after Baliyo but Kion knocks her down] (Growls)
Baliyo: 
Kion!
Makucha: 
Kion?
Ora: 
Kion?
Baliyo: 
Use your Roar thingy! Send those guys flying!
Ora: 
The Roar? Forget it! I do not want to get hit with that Roar again! [Ora leaves]
Makucha:
Some "leader" he turned out to be.
Chuluun: 
Forget him. Forget attacking. Kion came down that hill. So the Tree of Life must be on the other side.
Makucha: and Chulunn:
(Both growling)
Rani: 
Surak. Follow Ora. Make sure he doesn't double back.
Surak: 
Understood. [Surak follows Ora]
Rani: 
Nirmala, get Baliyo somewhere safe. Kion, you're with me. We have to stop them from getting over that ridge!
Kion: 
Okay. [Kion starts to follow Rani]
Nirmala: 
Kion! The path!
Kion: 
Let Nirmala guide me... (Panting) [Kion goes up the path] I hope... I get there... in time..
Makucha: 
[Makucha is shocked to see Kion[ What? Kion! 
Kion: 
Surprise, Makucha! (Grunting) [Kion goes after Makucha]
Chuluun: 
Watch it! [Makucha almost hits Chuluun] (Laughing) You missed!
Rani: 
I won't! [Rani attacks Chuluun]
Chuluun: 
Whoa! [Chuluun falls]
Kion: 
Nice.
Rani: 
You too. Now let's make sure they keep going.
[The scene cuts to the Lion Guard who's running towards the fight]
Fuli: 
This way!
Bunga:
Don't tell me we missed the battle again!
Anga: 
Nope. Look.
Makucha: 
Ugh! The Lion Guard?
Bunga: 
Hey, Makucha, Chuluun. Remember me? And my stink? (Farting)
Makucha: and Chulunn:
(Both Coughing)
Chuluun: 
Oh, no! [Makucha and Chuluun leaves]
Bunga: 
And don't come back.
Rani: 
I guess we make a pretty good team after all. How's Baliyo?
Nirmala: 
The venom will wear off eventually. He will be fine.
Rani: 
[Rani hugs Baliyo] You should be more careful, little brother.
Baliyo: 
Not my style.
Kion: 
[Kion sees the flower destroyed] Nirmala? I did get the flower. But it got trampled in the battle.
Nirmala: 
You finished the task. Giving me the flower wasn't really the point. Though I would have liked to have a new flower to put behind my ear.
Bunga: 
Does this mean Kion's all better?
Rani: 
Does it?
Kion: 
I don't think so. There's more I have to do, isn't there?
Nirmala: 
Yes. You've taken the first step. But there's still a long way to go.
Kion: 
Guess I just need patience.
[The scene cuts to the Mountain Pass and Makucha's Army]
Ora: 
We would have made it if Kion had no shown up. He is trouble.
Makucha: 
The whole Lion Guard is trouble. We need to get rid of 'em.
Chuluun: 
Yeah. Especially that Bunga.
Mama Binturong: 
[Off-screen] Oh, yes. Especially "that Bunga." No one wants to get rid of him more than me. 
Makucha: 
And who are you?
Mama Binturong: 
[Mama Binturong comes out of her tree] I'm Mama Binturong. And I'm your new leader.
