The Search for Utamu/Transcript

(Ono flys over the herd of bufflalo)
Ono: 
Everyone, everyone! I found the buffalo herd. They're all safe and sound.
(The rest of the guard come up to Ono)
Fuli: 
(Laughs) Yep. There they are.
Kion: 
Good work, Ono.
Beshte: 
Hmm. Why do you suppose they wandered so far from their regular grazing ground?
Bunga: 
Who cares? We found them, they're fine, let's go.
Ono: 
Wait. I'm not so sure they are fine. Look where they're grazing. (Ono looks at the herd and sees that there's a gayser) "Hapana!" They're right on top of a geyser!
Bunga: 
A what?
Ono: 
A geyser. Really hot water shooting up from a hole in the ground.
Beshte: 
Are you sure you're not making that up?
(Loud Rumbling)
Bunga: 
Whoa. Big B, you gotta eat something. That stomach of yours is rumbling like crazy!
Beshte: 
I don't think that's my stomach.
(Rumbling Continues)
Ono: 
It's the geyser! It's about to blow!
Kion: 
We've gotta warn the buffalo! Till the Pride Lands end...
All: 
Lion Guard defend!
(The guard goes towards the buffalo)
Buffalo: 
(Mooing)
(Gurgling)
(The geyser blows up)
Ono: 
Whoa!
Buffalo: 
(All mooing) (The herd starts running)
Kion: 
"Hevi kabisa!" The herd! We've gotta stop them before they trample everything in their path!
Fuli:
Leave this to me! "Huwezi" 
(Fuli goes to stop the herd)
Kion: 
She can't do it alone. C'mon!
Fuli: 
Slow it down, buffalo! That's the way. Nice and easy...
(Fuli calms down the herd)
Beshte: 
Would ya look at that.
Kion: 
Wow! Maybe she can do it alone!
(Buffalo grunting)
Fuli: 
(Panting)
(Fuli takes a break) 
Beshte: 
Poa, Fuli!
Bunga: 
That was un-Bunga-lievable!
Fuli: 
Thanks.
Ono: 
You should have seen it from up there!
Kion: 
Great work, Fuli. Now why don't you take a break?
Gallagos: 
Help! Help!
Bunga: 
And the break's over.
Fuli: 
(Sighs) It's gonna be one of those days.
Kion: 
Ono, take a look.
Ono: 
Affirmative! (Ono goes to take a look)
Gallagos: 
Help!
Ono: 
"Hapana!"
Kion: 
Ono, what do ya got?
(Ono sees the gallagos hanging from a tree)
Ono: 
Three galagos! About to fall from a tree in Ndefu Grove!
Kion: 
We'd better get moving.
Fuli: 
I got this!
(Kion makes a weird face) 
(Fuli runs to the rescue)
The gallagos hang onto a tree)
Gallagos: 
Help! Help! Don't let go! Don't let go! 
Laini: 
I can't hold on. I can't hold on! (Screams)
Fuli: 
Hang on!
Gallagos: 
(Screaming and grunting)
(The gallagos land on Fuli's back)
Fuli: 
Gotcha!
Galagos: 
(Cheering) (The galagos snuggle on Fuli's back)
Fuli: 
(Groans)
(The rest of the guard goes to Fuli)
Beshte: 
Poa, Fuli! Nice save!
Kion: 
Good thing you didn't need any backup. You left us in the dust.
Fuli: 
Yeah, I knew I could handle this one by myself. But, uh...
Galagos: 
(Cooing & purring)
Fuli: 
I could use some help getting these things off me.
Bunga: 
All right, Gally-ally-goes. Off 'a the kitty!
(The guard walks near a waterfall)
Fuli: 
(Groans) I still feel those teeny little hands grabbing my fur. You sure you got them all?
Bunga: 
Yeah, you're good. (Gasps) "Zuka zama!" Lookit! The water's reached the trees at Mapema Rock!
Beshte: 
Poa! You're right, Bunga! That means... Uh... What does that mean?
Bunga: 
It means it's the peak of the rainy season! It's time for utamu! I've gotta go get some!
(Bunga goes to get the Utamu but Kion stops him)
Kion: 
Bunga, wait! Where are you going?
Bunga: 
I just told ya. I'm gettin' utamu! They're the rarest, most delicious grubs in the Pride Lands! But they only come out one day at the peak of the rainy season! So you gotta find 'em fast! That's why...
Serval: 
(Howling)
Kion: 
What is up today? Sounds like somebody else is in trouble.
(Ono sees a serval hanging onto a ledge)
Ono: 
It's a serval! Looks like he tried to jump across Big Ravine! He's hanging on to the edge, but he won't last long!
Kion: 
Thanks, Ono! Lion Guard... Fuli?
(Fuli starts running to the serval)
Fuli: 
(Panting)
(The serval is seen hanging onto a ledge) 
Serval: 
(Howling)
Fuli: 
Hang on! (Grunts)
Serval: 
(Whimpering)
Fuli: 
Don't panic. I've got you. (Breaths deeply) I hope. (Grunts) Hey! Calm down!
(The serval is seen kicking Fuli)
Serval:
I'm sorry! I'm... I'm scared!
Fuli: 
Yeah, well I can't help you get up the cliff if you kick me off it! (Painting & stranting) Got it. Now just one...more...push!
(Fuli helps the serval out)
Serval: 
(Screams) I'm out!
Fuli: 
(Breathing Heavily)
Serval: 
You did it! (Laughs) Thank you!
Fuli: 
(Grunting) No problem.
(Fuli climbs up the ravine and the rest of the guard come)
Ono: 
Great rescue, Fuli!
Fuli: 
What took the rest of you so long?
Beshte: 
We went around the long way.
Bunga: 
Yeah. Even I wouldn't try a crazy jump like that!
Fuli: 
Just takes a little speed, that's all.
Kion: 
Fuli. Why didn't you wait for us?
Fuli: 
C'mon, Kion. You put me on the Guard 'cause I'm the fastest. If my speed can help, shouldn't I use it?
Kion: 
Yeah, but we're a team. And our team's not as good if you get hurt or worn out from going solo.
Fuli: 
I'm a cheetah. Cheetahs don't get worn out.
(Ono lands next to Fuli)
Ono: 
Actually, Fuli, cheetahs do...
(Fuli gives Ono a weird look)
Ono: 
Uh, well, maybe you don't get worn out? 
(Ono goes back in the air)
Bunga: 
Well, now that that's settled, I gotta go find the utamu grubs. You comin' or not?
Fuli: 
I'm in. Let's go!
Kion: 
Whoa, whoa, whoa! I think you need to rest. If anything else happens, we'll need you at full strength.
Fuli: 
I'm sorry, have we met? I'm Fuli. I'm always at full strength.
Kion: 
I mean it, Fuli. You need to take it easy for a while. I want you to stay here.
Fuli: 
(Groans)
(Beshte comes between Kion and Fuli
Beshte: 
I think Kion's trying to say that everybody needs to rest sometimes.
Fuli: 
(Sighs) Fine. I'll rest. But I won't like it.
Kion: 
Wouldn't expect you to. So, Bunga. These utamu grubs. Do you know where to find them?
Bunga: 
Do I? Do I? Do I? Yes! Yes, I totally do! This way! (Bunga puts his hands up)
Beshte: 
See you later, Fuli!
(The Lion Guard leaves Fuli and Fuli tries to rest)
Fuli: 
(Sighs) Bye. (Sighs) (Grunting) (Sniffs) Resting? Hunting? They're kinda the same thing.
(The rest of the Lion Guard go find the utamu)
Bunga: ♪ Utamu, utamu
♪ Good for you and yummy too
♪ Goes right down like squishy goo
♪ Utamu, utamu
♪ When only the best will do, it's the grub for you
♪ Utamu ♪ 
(Beshte accidentally bumps into Bunga)
Bunga: 
(Yells)
Beshte: 
Oops.
Bunga: 
Hey!
Beshte: 
Sorry, Little B.
Kion: 
Okay, Bunga, which way do we go?
Bunga: 
Hmm. When in doubt, follow the dung! (Bunga points at the ground)
Beshte: 
Follow the dung? Like follow the poop?
(Kion makes a gross face)
Kion: 
Ugh!
Bunga': 
Yup. The dung beetles always lead you to grubs. Never fails.
Kion: 
Really? Why's that?
Ono: 
Because grubs are dung beetle larvae. Common knowledge, really.
Bunga': 
Right! Check it out.
(Bunga, Beshte and Kion look at the dung beetles)
Beshte: 
Would you look at that. Hey, little guys.
Bunga': 
They're just heading home. And we can follow 'em!
Kion: 
Pretty cool that you knew that.
Bunga': 
I know! I'm un-dunga-lievable! (Laughs) Come on!

(The guard keeps walking meanwhile Fuli is seen hunting)
Fuli: 
(Grunting)
(A female duck interrupts Fuli's hunting)
Female Duck: 
(Yelling) Fuli! Fuli!
Fuli: 
(Sighs) Seriously?
Female Duck: 
Fuli! Fuli! I need the Lion Guard! The oryxes are fighting!
Fuli: 
Calm down. Oryxes fight all the time.
Female Duck: 
But they're fighting near our nests! If they're not stopped, they'll trample our eggs!
Fuli: 
Got it. Take me there.
Female Duck: 
Well, but, what about the rest of the Lion Guard?
Fuli: 
If you want help fast, you want me, with or without the Guard!
Female Duck: 
Mmm, that makes sense. Follow me!
(Fuli and the female duck go stop the oryxes)
(The rest of the Lion Guard are still seen following the dung beetles)
Bunga: 
Here we go! We're really picking up speed now!
Beshte: 
Uh. So, Little B, what's so special about these "utami" grubs anyway?
Bunga: 
Well, utamu brought me together with my Uncle Timon and Uncle Pumbaa.
Kion: 
Really? I never knew that.
Bunga: 
Ya mean I never told you?
Beshte: 
I always wondered. How did you end up staying with Timon and Pumbaa?
Bunga: 
Glad you asked! It was a while ago. When I was really little. 
(Bunga flashbacks to his childhood)
(Baby Bunga is seen sitting on a log eating grubs)
Bunga: 
I never met my real mom and dad. Back then I was all on my own. I could find my own food easy enough. But I was lonely.
(Timon and Pumbaa singing)
Bunga: 
And then I saw them. Right as they walked past Mapema Rock.
Pumbaa: ♪...so delish. The taste will blow your mind
Both: ♪ Utamu, utamu
(Baby Bunga sees his future uncles)
Pumbaa: ♪ Good for you and yummy too
Timon: ♪ Goes right down like squishy goo
Both:♪ Utamu, utamu
Pumbaa: ♪ When only the best will do, it's the grub for you ♪ Utamu
Timon: ♪ It's got a taste, rich and bold your mouth will be amazed
Pumbaa: ♪ It's a kind of taste you won't forget the rest of your days
Both: ♪ Utamu, utamu
Pumbaa: ♪ Good for you and yummy too
Timon: ♪ Goes right down like squishy goo
Both: ♪ Utamu, utamu
♪ When only the best will do, it's the grub for you
♪ Utamu ♪
Timon: 
Come on, Pumbaa. The utamu grubs only come out once a year. And this year, we're gonna get 'em.
Pumbaa: 
Oh, that's what you say every year, Timon. And then, halfway up that big tree, you decide to wait till next year.
Bunga: 
They seemed friendly. Funny.(Sniffing) And a little stinky. Just like me! I knew we'd get along!
(Baby Bunga walks up to Pumbaa)
Pumbaa: 
Huh?
(Baby Bunga looks up at Pumbaa)
Timon: 
Beat it, kid.Me and Pumbaa have grubs to find.
Baby Bunga: Grubs! Grubs!
Pumbaa: 
Oh, Timon! I think he likes you!
Timon: 
Okay, kid. See that big rock? I betcha there's plenty of grubs under it. You go get 'em!
Baby Bunga 
"Zuka zama!" 
(Baby Bunga goes to get the grubs)
Timon: 
Pumbaa, now! Before he comes back.
Pumbaa: 
Oh, all right.
(Baby Bunga brings Timon and Pumbaa grubs)
Baby Bunga: 
Grubs! Grubs!
Timon: 
Oh. Eh... Thanks, kid.
(Timon tosses a grub at Pumbaa)
Pumbaa: 
Mmm. Aw, look at him. He's such a cute little thing. Can we keep him?
Timon: 
Keep him? No. No more kids. We already raised a lion, remember? Besides, he's a honey badger.He can fend for himself! So long, kid. Thanks for the grub!
(Baby Bunga gives Timon and hug)
Pumbaa: 
Oh, I think he wants to be with us, too!
Timon: 
We'll see about that.
Bunga: 
Then Timon asked me to find the rarest, most delicious grubs in the Pride Lands. Utamu!
Baby Bunga: 
"Zuka Zama!" (Baby Bunga climbs up a tree) (Laughing)
Timon: 
He's really doing it! I was sure he'd be too scared and just run away.
Pumbaa: 
I don't think he's afraid of anything, Timon.
Timon: 
Yeah. The kid's loopier than a snake squeezin' his supper.
Pumbaa: 
Or as they say in the Serengeti, he's bunga!
(Baby Bunga hops down from the tree)
Baby Bunga: 
Bunga, Bunga, Bunga!
Timon: 
Would ya look at that. He got 'em! He got the utamu
Pumbaa: 
Now can we keep him, Timon?
Timon: 
Can we? The little Bunga got us the most delicious grubs in the Pride Lands! How can we not? C'mon, Bunga! From now on, you're with us! Mmm!
(In the present Bunga is seen talking to his friends)
Bunga: 
So now, at the peak of every rainy season, we celebrate. I always bring the utamu. My uncles love 'em! And I don't want to let them down.
Beshte: 
Aw, Little B. (Sniffles) That was beautiful!
Kion: 
Don't worry, Bunga. We'll help you get that utamu. Right, guys?
Ono: 
Yes. But, uh, the dung beetles aren't going to help. They're gone.
(Bunga looks down)
Bunga: 
Say what?
Beshte: 
So how are we going to find the utamu now?
Bunga: 
Hmm. (Gasps) I see the tree! (Bunga spots the tree) "Zuka Zama!" C'mon!
Beshte: 
Too bad Fuli didn't get to hear Bunga's story.
Kion: 
Yeah. But it's good that she's getting some rest.
(Fuli is seen following the female duck)
Fuli: 
(Breathing heavily) Are we getting close?
Female Duck: 
Pretty close!
Fuli: 
(Panting) Ugh. What about now?
Female Duck: 
Mmm. Pretty close!
(Fuli jumps over water)
Fuli: 
(Panting) How much farther?
Female Duck: 
Oh, we're pretty close now!
Fuli: 
(Panting and grunting)
Female Duck: 
Fuli!
Fuli: 
I know, I know! We're pretty close!
Female Duck: 
No, we're here now! Look!
Fuli: 
(Panting)
(Fuli sees the oryxes fighting)
Oryxes: 
(Grunting)
Ducks: 
(Squawking)
Female Duck: 
Can you stop them?
Fuli: 
(Exhales) You better believe it. Oryxes! (Fuli runs at the oryxes) Get out of here! Now! (Panting) 
(The oryxes leave)
Female Duck: 
You did it! You saved our nests! Thanks!
Fuli: 
No problem.  I'm just gonna... Head out now (Panting) (Panting heavily)
(Fuli lies down on the ground)
(Vultures chattering indistinctly)
Mzingo: 
(Clears throat) Before we bring the meeting of this committee to order... Please join me in the singing of our parliamentary anthem.
(Music playing)
Mzingo: ♪ What birds are the lords of the sky ♪ Ruling the rest from on high ♪ The answer is clear ♪
Mwoga: ♪ Cause we're all perched here
All:♪ All hail the vultures ♪ All hail the vultures ♪ Hail, hail the vultures, all hail ♪ All hail ♪ Hail, hail the vultures, all hail ♪ All hail ♪ We are the greatest, just try to debate us ♪ Hail, hail the vultures, all hail ♪ All hail
Mzingo: ♪ Some may call us scavengers
Mwoga: ♪ And some may call us thieves
Mzingo: ♪ But if you're looking for intelligence
Mwoga: ♪ Just look up in the leaves
All: ♪ Hail, hail the vultures, all hail ♪ All hail ♪ Hail, hail the vultures, all hail ♪ All hail ♪ We are the greatest, just try to debate us ♪ Hail, hail the vultures, all hail ♪ All hail ♪ Hail, hail the vultures, all hail ♪ All hail ♪
Male Vulture: 
(Laughs) That was good.
(Mwoga spots Fuli lying down on the ground)
Mwoga: 
Oi, is that Fuli lying down there? I've never seen her when she wasn't running. What's wrong with her?
Mzingo: 
Hmm. It seems Fuli is too young to know her limits.
Mwoga: 
Ya mean she don't know cheetahs can only run for so long before they need a rest?
Mzingo: 
Precisely. I conclude she's pushed herself too hard, and currently has no energy at all.Which means she can't fight back.
Mwoga: 
Oh, should we form a subcommittee to discuss our options in attacking Fuli in her current weakened state?
Mzingo: 
Actually, I think this is the one time that we dispense with formal parliamentary procedures... (Inhales deeply) And simply attack.
(The rest of the Lion Guard is seen at the Utamu tree)
Beshte: 
Is this really the tree where you first found the utamu, Little B?
Bunga: 
Sure is! Now all I have to do is climb up and get 'em! "Zuka Zama!" (Bunga climbs the tree)
Kion: 
Careful, Bunga! That tree looks pretty dead!
Bunga: 
I know! That's why grubs love living in it!
(Tree Creaking)
Kion, Beshte and Ono: 
(Gasping)
(Bunga starts to fall but grabs onto a tree branch)
Bunga: 
(Grunts)
Kion, Beshte and Ono: 
(Sighs)
Bunga: 
I'm comin' for you, utamu!
Kion: 
Bunga, that branch is rotten! I don't think it'll hold you!
Bunga: 
Sure it will!
Kion: 
He's gonna need our help. Ono, steady the end of that branch. Beshte, hold the trunk.
Beshte: 
Sure thing! (Beshte holds the tree) (Grunting)
(Ono holds on to a tree branch)
Bunga: 
Hey ya, Ono. I'm almost there... Whoa!
Ono: 
"Hapana". 
(Ono spots Mzingo and the vultures)
Ono: 
Kion! Mzingo and his vultures! They're circling!
Kion: 
That's never good. We need to check it out. Ono, Beshte, Bunga, let's go!
Bunga: 
Wait! Just one more step!
(Branch creaking)
(Bunga starts to fall)
Bunga: 
(Screams)
Ono: 
I'm coming, Bunga!
(Ono pushes Bunga to saftey)
Bunga: 
No! My utamu!
Kion: 
Incoming, Beshte!
Beshte: 
Got it!
(Bunga lands on Beshte)
Bunga: 
(Grunts)
Beshte: 
You okay, Little B?
Bunga: 
Yeah. I guess.
(Bungs slides off of Beshte's back)
Kion: 
Sorry, Bunga. But we gotta go see what Mzingo and his vultures are up to.
Bunga: 
Yeah, I know.
Kion: 
Ono, keep an eye out for Fuli. We'll need her if there's trouble.
Beshte: 
If I know Fuli, she's already there.
(The lion guard go towards the vultures)
(The vultures are seen circling)
(Vultures squaking)
(The vultures land and surround Fuli)
Fuli: 
(Groaning) Back off, vultures. You don't want any part of me.
Mzingo:
Oh, but I believe we do.
Mwoga: 
I want a leg!
Mzingo: 
Young cheetah. You have so little energy right now, you couldn't attack us if you tried.
Mwoga: 
Oh, um, question. You really think she can't fight back?
Fuli: 
(Inhales Deeply) Just try me!
Mzingo: 
If you had any strength, you'd have pounced by now. All in favor of attacking from all sides, hmm?
All: 
Aye!
Mzingo: 
All opposed? Motion passed. The ayes have it.
Kion: 
No sign of Fuli, Ono? We sure could use her on this one.
Ono: 
No, nothing. I... 
(Ono spots Fuli surrounded by vultures) 
Ono: 
Oh, no! IT'S FULI! She's down... And she's surrounded by vultures!
Kion: 
"Heyvi kabisa!" To the Pride Lands end...
ALL: 
Lion Guard defend!
Fuli: 
(Snarls)
Mzingo: 
Oh, don't worry, my dear. It will all be over soon. After all, we are not uncivilized. (LAUGHS) Now! Parliament, attack!
(The Lion Guard comes to Fuli's rescue)
Kion: 
Vultures! Get away from her!
Fuli: 
Kion?
(Kion attacks Mzingo)
Mzingo 
(Squaks)
(Vultures screams)
(Bunga attacks vultures)
Bunga: 
"Zuka zama!"
(Ono pecks Mwoga on the head)
Mwoga: 
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
Ono: 
Leave Fuli alone!
(Beshte attacks some vultures)
Beshte: 
"Twende kiboko"
(Vultures Squawks)
Mzingo: 
Reconvene! Reconvene!
(The vultures are seen flying in the air)
Kion: 
(Growls) Mzingo! When you and your vultures take on one member of the Guard... You take on us all! (Roars)
(Kion uses the Roar of the Elders and blasts Mzingo's vultures away)
(Vultures Squawking)
Kion: 
You okay?
Fuli: 
Yeah. Thanks for saving me, guys. Even though I feel kind of lame for needing it.
Kion: 
You shouldn't. We're always there for each other. We're a team!
Bunga: 
Yeah. Even I've been in trouble once or twice. 
(Kion gives Bunga a weird look)
Bunga: 
Okay, lots of times.
Fuli: 
Well, I wasn't helping the team by going off alone and getting worn out. Next time I really will wait for the rest of you. Just try to move a little faster so I won't have to wait so long.
All: 
(Laughing)
Bunga: 
(Sighs)
Fuli:: 
Bunga, what's wrong?
Bunga: 
I gotta go meet up with my uncles. And I don't have any utamu.
Beshte: 
Aw, I'm sure they won't care.
Bunga: 
You think?
(Fuli stands up) 
Fuli: 
Let's go to Hakuna Matata Falls and find out.
(At Hakuna Matata Falls Timon and Pumbaa are seen sititng on a log)
Pumbaa and Timon: ♪ Utamu, utamu ♪
Bunga: 
Uncle Timon? Uncle Pumbaa?
Timon: 
What's wrong, kid?
Bunga: 
I, uh, I've got some bad news. I know I usually bring the utamu grubs for us to celebrate with. But I couldn't get them this time.
Timon: 
Eh, Bunga. Utamu grubs are great. But that's not why we celebrate.
Pumbaa: 
Timon's right. We celebrate because the day we got the utamu was the day we met you!
Bunga: 
Really?
Pumbaa: 
Of course! Mmm.
(Bunga, Timon and Pumbaa all hug)
Beshte: 
Aw, that's nice.
Timon: 
Besides, this year...
(Timon and Pumbaaa lifts up a log and utamu grubs are under it)
Timon: 
We got the utamu!
(Timon and Pumbaa show Bunga the utamu)
Bunga: 
What? But how?
Pumbaa: 
Oh, you wouldn't believe it! A branch full of utamu grubs fell right outta the sky!
Ono: 
I believe it.
Bunga: 
Here's to the two best uncles a honey badger could ask for!
(Slurping and gulping)
(Timon, Pumbaa and Bunga all enjoy their grubs)
Timon and Pumbaa: ♪ Utamu, utamu
♪ When only the best will do, it's the grub for you ♪
♪ Utamu ♪
