Eye of the Beholder/Transcript

[The screen is obscured by dust. Kion crouches low, while wildebeests run around in panic.]
Wildebeests:
*bellow*
[A wildebeest charges at Kion, and he dodges.]
Kion:
*grunts*
[Kion ducks as a wildebeest charges past. Fuli sidles up to Kion.]
Fuli:
Kion! [Fuli flinches at a passing wildebeest.] *groans* How are we supposed to chase off the hyenas? [Fuli looks around pointedly.] We can't even see them with all this dust.
Kion:
I'm sure that's part of Janja's plan, Fuli.
Ono:
[from offscreen] Kion! [Ono flies over Kion and Fuli.] Fuli! Look out!
[A wildebeest charges at the screen, and Kion and Fuli dart in opposite directions.]
Kion:
"Hevi Kabisa!"
Fuli:
Whoa!
Kion:
Good eyes, Ono! Keep 'em peeled for Janja and his clan!
Ono:
Peeled eyes? [Ono makes a disgusted face.] Ewww. *gasps* [Ono's vision flickers, and he spots Cheezi and Chungu hiding in some underbrush. A baby wildebeest stands nearby.] Hapana! Bunga! Beshte! [Beshte and Bunga look up at Ono.] I see Cheezi and Chungu! They're behind that bush!
Bunga:
Let's get 'em, Beshte.
[Bunga hops onto Beshte's back. Meanwhile, Cheezi and Chungu continue to sneak up on the baby wildebeest.]
Cheezi and Chungu:
*laugh*
[Cheezi and Chungu lunge out of the underbrush, and the baby wildebeest flees.'
Beshte:
"Twende kiboko!" [Beshte charges at Cheezi and Chungu, who flee.]
Cheezi and Chungu:
*scream*
Bunga:
[Bunga lifts an arm into the air.] [triumphantly] "Zuka zama!"
Ono:
*chuckles* That takes care of those two.
[Kion's face turns to horror as a wildebeest charges toward him.]
Wildebeests:
*bellow*
Kion:
*yells* [Kion jumps over the charging wildebeest.] Ono! [Ono flies over Kion.] Look for Janja! We chase him off, the rest of the hyenas will go too!
Ono:
Affirmative!
[Ono swoops offscreen. Meanwhile, Kion ducks to avoid more running wildebeests.]
Wildebeests:
*bellow*
[From behind Kion, Janja sneaks up on Kion through the dust.]
Janja:
*snarls* [softly, to himself] Gotcha now, lion cub.
Ono:
*gasps* [Ono's vision flickers, and he spots Janja sneaking up behind Kion.] Kion! Behind you! Look out!
Janja:
[Janja lunges at Kion.] *snarls*
[Janja and Kion roll on the ground.]
Kion:
*grunts*
[Janja pins Kion.]
Kion:
*gasps* Janja! [Janja attempts to bite Kion, but he dodges out of the way. Kion manages to pin Janja.] I told you to stay out of the Pride Lands!
Janja:
[From under Kion's paw] Did you? I must have forgot! [Janja lunges at Kion.] *grunts*
Ono:
Kion! [Ono's vision flickers.] Incoming!
[From underneath Janja, Kion looks behind him. He then looks up at Janja with a confident grin.]
Kion:
See ya, hyena. [Kion kicks Janja into the horns of a passing wildebeest.]
Wildebeests:
*bellow*
Janja:
*screams* [The wildebeest bucks its head, and Janja goes flying. He lands in a heap on the ground.] *grunts* I've had enough. [Janja stands. Cheezi and Chungu stand nearby.] Come on, fellows. Let's go! [Janja runs away.]
Cheezi:
But, Janja, what about the plan?
Chungu:
*chuckles* Yeah. The dust is still making things hard to see.
Janja:
[Janja pauses on his way into the Outlands'] Yeah, yeah. Dust don't matter when the Lion Guard has [Janja looks up pointedly.] eyes in the sky. Now, move it!
[Cheezi and Chungu follow Janja. Fuli approaches from behind.]
Fuli:
That's right! Get out of here!
Chungu:
[Chungu pauses and looks back at Fuli.] *laughs nervously* I'm going! I'm going! [Chungu takes off after Janja and Cheezi.]
Kion:
Keep going, Janja! All the way back to the Outlands!
Bunga:
And stay out!
Kion:
Nice job, everyone. Follow them, Ono. Make sure they leave the Pride Lands.
Ono:
[Ono salutes Kion.] You got it, Kion. [Ono flies after Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu.] You heard him! Keep going! [The hyenas disappear over a cliff. Some dust falls into Ono's eyes as he flies after them.] Owww! My eye! [Ono careens toward the ground.] *screams* I'm hit!
Kion:
Oh, no. [from offscreen] Ono!
Ono:
[Ono hits several trees as he falls.] *grunts* [Ono lands in a bush, stumbles out, then collapses on his back.] *groans* Bird down! Bird down! *groans*
[From Ono's point of view, we see his eyes open to fuzzy vision. Kion and Fuli gather around him worriedly.]
Fuli:
He's over here!
Kion:
Don't worry, Ono. We'll get you to Rafiki. He'll know what to do.
[The scene transitions to Pride Rock.]
Birds:
*chirp*
Rafiki:
[from offscreen] *hums* [Rafiki paints in the Lair of the Lion Guard. Cut to reveal that he is painting the Lion Guard.] *chuckles*
Kion:
[from offscreen] Rafiki!
Rafiki:
[Rafiki looks over one shoulder.] Huh?
[The Lion Guard strides into the Lair of the Lion Guard. Ono lies on Beshte's back, with one eye closed.]
Kion:
We need you, Rafiki. Ono's hurt.
[The Lion Guard pauses, and Beshte bends down.]
Beshte:
Easy there, Ono.
Ono:
Owww, my eye.
Rafiki:
[Rafiki approaches Ono and inspects his eye.] Mmm, yes. I see you cannot see. Ha, ha! [From Ono's point of view, we see Rafiki through fuzzy vision.] Dirt in the eye! Not as bad as it looks. [Rafiki puts some leaves on a flat rock. He beckons to the Lion Guard.] Now, down here! Quick!
[Beshte bends down, and Ono slides down his snout onto the rock.]
Ono:
*groans*
Rafiki:
[Rafiki approaches with a broken gourd.] Okay, it's okay. Just a moment. [Rafiki motions to the Lion Guard to back up.] And a little space? [The Lion Guard looks on worriedly. Rafiki mashes some leaves in his gourd.] Mmm. Yes, yes. Just enough. [Rafiki adds some pink paste. The Lion Guard continues to watch in concern.] Now, hold still, Ono. [Rafiki wraps something that is offscreen.] And... Ah-ha! [Rafiki lifts his arms in triumph.] Yes! There.
Ono:
[Ono sits up. He has a leafy eye patch over his left eye.] *gulps* How's it look?
Bunga:
Hmm.
Fuli:
Well...
[Bunga and Fuli exchange glances.]
Ono:
Oh, [Ono cowers.] is it that bad?
Fuli:
[regaining her composure] No, no. Not at all.
Beshte:
I like it. Green is your color.
Bunga:
Yeah, yeah, yeah! [Bunga strides toward Ono.] It totally brings out your eyes!
Fuli:
Bunga!
Bunga:
Did I say your eyes? I mean, it brings out your [Bunga points at his eye.] one eye. The one you've got left. [Bunga scratches the back of his head.] I mean, I know the other one's still there, but you can't see it. I mean, uh.. [Bunga facepalms.]
Ono:
[resigned] Oh, forget it.
Beshte:
Well, I think it's poa. And if I ever get dirt in my eye, I want one just like it.
Kion:
Yeah. Me, too.
Ono:
[Ono looks over one shoulder at Rafiki.] So, am I gonna be okay?
Rafiki:
[Rafiki waves dismissively.] Yes, yes. [Rafiki strides around Ono.] Your eye will be fine. [Rafiki leans an elbow on the rock and points at Ono.] Just wear this eye patch for three days...and no craziness.
Ono:
Three days?
Bunga:
[Bunga spreads his arms wide.] No craziness?
Kion:
Don't worry, Ono. The Guard can get by for a couple days without you. You need to rest and get better.
Ono:
But I can still help the Guard. [Ono leaps to his feet.] Besides, I can see just fine. [Ono turns and runs headlong into the wall.] *grunts* Is that wall new?
Fuli:
No, but those paintings are.
[Cut to cave paintings of several Lion Guards.]
Rafiki:
[from offscreen] Yes, yes. Every Lion Guard appears on the walls of the lair so everyone remembers who they are. [The camera settles on the painting of Kion's Lion Guard. The Lion Guard and Rafiki survey the paintings.] Today, I must add all of you to the story of the Lion Guard.
Beshte:
"Poa!" [Cut to the camera zooming in on the painting of Kion.] So that's Kion... [The camera pans to the painting of Fuli.] and there's Fuli.
[The camera pans to the painting of Bunga.]
Bunga:
And that's me! [Bunga points at the painting.] That's me! That's me! That's me!
Kion:
Amazing.
Rafiki:
Amazing to [Rafiki points at Kion.] you. [Rafiki points at himself.] To me? Not so much. But they do say that art is in the eye of the beholder.
Bunga:
You got what in your eye?
Ono:
"Eye of the beholder." It means everyone has their own opinion of what's good.
Rafiki:
Yes. [Rafiki stares thoughtfully at the cave paintings.] And this painting, it does not quite have the [Rafiki gestures emphatically at the Lion Guard.] spirit of your Lion Guard.
Kion:
What do you think, Ono?
Bunga:
[Bunga sidles up to Kion.] Kion, Ono can't see.
Ono:
[Ono jumps into the air and hovers in front of Bunga.] Yes, I can! And I'm still the keenest of sight. Come on, I'll prove it! [Ono flies offscreen.]
Kion:
Ono!
Beshte:
Be careful!
[Ono flies out of a hole in the ceiling.]
Fuli:
Wait up!
[The Lion Guard rushes out of the Lair of the Lion Guard. Rafiki turns back to survey his cave paintings.]
Rafiki:
Hmm. In my eye, it is not yet right.
[The scene transitions. Ono flies across the savanna, while Kion, Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli keep pace with him below.]
Kion:
Ono! You should be taking it easy!
Ono:
Flying is easy! I hurt my eye, not my wings. Just watch. You'll see. [Ono flies higher.] I can still help the Guard. [Ono's vision flickers, and he overlooks the savanna below.] I can see everything from up here. [Mzingo flies into Ono's field of vision, heading right for the camera. They bump into each other.] *groans* [Ono falls offscreen.]
Mwoga:
Oi, watch where you're going!
Ono:
[Ono falls.] *screams*
Mwoga:
[Mwoga stares after Ono with interest.] Hmm.
[Ono hurtles toward Kion, Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli.]
Bunga:
Incoming!
[Kion, Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli scatter. Ono runs frantically along the ground, mid-landing.]
Ono:
Whoa, whoa, whoa! *screams* [Ono trips and rolls along the ground.] Whoa! *grunts*
[Ono stops rolling. He sits up and looks around, then collapses on his back. His friends approach from behind.]
Beshte:
Ono, are you okay?
Ono:
*groans* I'm good.
Fuli:
Maybe you shouldn't be flying around with just one eye?
Ono:
*groans*
[The camera pans up to reveal Mwoga flying overhead.]
Mwoga:
Interesting.
Kion:
Ono, I really think you should take a break.
Ono:
[Ono sits up.] But doesn't the Guard need me? I'm the keenest of sight.
Bunga:
You were the keenest of sight.
Kion:
Easy, Bunga.
Ono:
[desperately] Kion?
Kion:
You just need to get better, Ono. You'll be back on duty in no time. But for now, let's get you back to the lair.
Ono:
Okay.
Mwoga:
*chuckles* Definitely interesting.
[Mwoga flies offscreen. The scene transitions to the Outlands. Mzingo's parliament sit in the branches of a dead tree.]
Mzingo:
And so, on the question as to whether impala or reedbuck tastes better, [Mzingo taps his wings together thoughtfully.] the parliament finds more deliberation is necessary.
Mwoga:
[from offscreen] Mzingo! [Mwoga flies toward Mzingo's parliament.] *pants* Sorry I'm late.
Mzingo:
[Mzingo rolls his eyes.] *sighs* Mwoga. Mwoga. Motion to allow Mwoga to join parliamentary procedures already in progress.
[The vultures each raise one wing, with the exception of one.]
Vultures:
Aye!
Vulture:
Nay!
Mzingo:
The ayes have it. Mwoga, you may rejoin the parliament. [Mwoga lands on a branch next to the vulture who voted against him. He scoots closer to Mzingo, which forces the vulture to switch places with him.] I trust you have a compelling reason for being late.
Mwoga:
Indeed. [Mwoga conspiratorially holds one wing to the side of his head.] It seems that Ono of the Lion Guard [Mwoga peers through his feathers.] is no longer able to see out of one eye.
Mzingo:
The keenest of sight can no longer see? [Mzingo looks away thoughtfully.] Hmm. That is interesting.
Mwoga:
[Mwoga holds up a wing.] I suggest we form a subcommittee to study the situation.
Mzingo:
Capital idea. Do I hear a second?
Mwoga:
[Mwoga glares at the vulture who voted against him.] *grunts*
[The vulture cowers and holds up a wing.]
Vulture:
Aye!
Mzingo:
Very well. The meeting to nominate subcommittee members to study the severity of Ono's loss of eyesight will go to the planning committee for a vote during the next session. [The camera pans down to reveal Janja at the base of the parliament's tree. His head is tilted to the side as he eavesdrops. Behind him are Cheezi and Chungu.] I feel the need to...
Chungu:
Can we go now? [Chungu sits.] I'm hungry.
Janja:
[Janja glares over one shoulder at Cheezi and Chungu.] Shhh! [Janja tips one ear toward the vultures.] The vultures always know what's going on in the Pride Lands. And it sounds like Ono can't see.
Cheezi:
*laughs* Ono can't see! Yeah, that's great! [Cheezi's face turns to confusion.] *gasps* Uh, why is that great?
Janja:
[Janja paces toward Cheezi and Chungu.] Because, fur-brain, Ono is the Guard's eyes in the sky. Any time I got a brilliant plan, Ono spots it, and the Guard ruins it. But if he can't see anymore... *laughs* I got an idea. Come on! [Janja starts to bound away, then pauses and looks over one shoulder at Cheezi and Chungu.] And before you ask, yes, it involves food.
[Janja runs offscreen. Cheezi and Chungu exchange confused glances.]
Chungu:
How'd he know we were thinking about food?
Cheezi:
We're always thinking about food!
Chungu:
Oh, yeah! *laughs* [Cheezi and Chungu race after Janja.] Hey, hey, hey, wait for us!
[Cheezi and Chungu catch up to Janja.]
{Music Starts]
Cheezi:
So, what's the idea, Janja?
Chungu:
Tell us the plan! Tell us the plan!
Janja:
Easy, fellows. Easy. [Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu enter a grassy area on the border of the Outlands and the Pride Lands. Cheezi and Chungu bob their heads to the music.] ♪ Give me a sec to think things through. We need a plan for something new. I think I know just what to do so that Guard won't have a clue. 
[The camera zooms in on Janja's eye. Everything takes on a surrealist style. Ono flaps onscreen, but Janja appears and blows him away.] 
Janja:
Without their eyes up in the sky, [The camera zooms out to reveal Cheezi and Chungu standing next to Janja.] we'll trick them hiding way up high. ['he camera zooms out to reveal the Lion Guard crouching defensively below Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu. The hyenas slink away.] We'll make our move. We'll be so sly. And then we can kiss the Guard goodbye!
Cheezi:
[Chungu blows a kiss at the Lion Guard.] Ha, ha!
Chungu:
[Spoken} Bye-bye! [Cheezi waves at the Lion Guard.]
Janja:
Oh, yeah! [Several animals ride along a river in leaves.] ♪ [An oversized Janja picks up a cow.] Once the Lion Guard's outta the way, [An oversized Cheezi and Chungu emerge next to Janja and eye the animals hungrily.] the Pride Lands will be our buffet. [Cheezi and Chungu fight over a zebra.] We'll eat all night. We'll eat all day [The background changes from blue to orange. Janja appears, dominating the screen, and lifts his paws into the air.] with the Lion Guard outta the way. Outta the way!
[Janja ducks down, and Cheezi and Chungu take his place.]
Cheezi and Chungu:
♪ Outta the way!
[Cheezi and Chungu duck down, and Janja takes their place.]
Janja:
♪ Outta the way!
[Janja ducks down, and Cheezi and Chungu take his place.]
Cheezi and Chungu:
♪ Outta the way!
[Cheezi and Chungu duck down, and Janja takes their place. A duck and a wildebeest hop up on either side of Janja.]
Janja:
♪ Then we can feast on bird and beast...
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu:
♪ ...when they're outta the way!
[Cheezi dances in a spotlight, then runs offscreen. Chungu appears, shaking his backside to the beat. Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu stand atop a gorge, with rock piles in front of them']
Janja:
♪ We'll make a trap that they can't see, one they can't escape so easily. [Janja knocks one of the rock piles into the gorge.] A rock slide or two in a narrow ravine [The rocks block the gorge, and the Lion Guard is trapped at the bottom.] can be just the trick, [Rocks block the screen.] if you know what I mean.♪ [Cheezi and Chungu nod.] *laughs* [Cheezi and Chungu shake their heads.] Oh, fur-brains! [The camera pans down to show Janja rolling on a rock over the Lion Guard.] ♪ Once the Lion Guard's outta the way, [The camera pans to show Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu floating down a river on leaves, their bellies comically full.] the Pride Lands will be our buffet. [Chungu chews on a bone. We'll eat all night. [The background changes from blue to orange. Janja emerges from behind Chungu.] We'll eat all day with the Lion Guard outta the way. Outta the way!
[Cheezi dances in a spotlight.]
Cheezi and Chungu:
♪ Outta the way!
[A zebra jumps through the spotlight.]
Janja:
♪ Outta the way!
[Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu jump after the zebra.]
Cheezi and Chungu:
♪ Outta the way!
[Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu form a circle and glare into the screen.]
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu:
♪ Then we can feast on bird and beast [A ring of trembling zebras stare up into the camera.] when they're outta the way!
[Janja dances with a zebra in a spotlight. He spins the zebra toward Cheezi, who throws the zebra into a river. The zebra lands in a leaf and floats toward a cave. The cave snaps shut on the zebra, revealing that it was actually Janja's open mouth. Janja stands with his arms outspread in a circle of dancing zebras.]
Janja:
♪ Oh, outta the way!
Cheezi and Chungu:
♪ Outta the way!
Janja:
♪ Outta the way!
Cheezi and Chungu:

[Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu lounge on the ground, their bellies comically full.] 
Janja:

Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu:
♪ ...when they're outta the way!
[Janja collapses on his back. The scene transitions to show Janja onscreen.]
Janja:

[Cheezi and Chungu appear on either side of the zebras, who begin trembling.]
Cheezi and Chungu:

Janja:

Cheezi and Chungu:

Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu:

[Cheezi and Chungu spring apart from Janja.]
Janja:
*laughs* [Janja stands.] Do you get it now?
[Cheezi and Chungu shake their heads. Janja buries his head in his paws. The scene transitions to the Lair of the Lion Guard.]
Rafiki:
[from offscreen] *hums* Hold still, Kion.
Kion:
[Kion poses on a rock.] How does it look?
[Rafiki paints the Lion Guard, while Bunga and Fuli watch from nearby.]
Rafiki:
Uh, it is still not right. [Rafiki pauses and glances over one shoulder at Kion.]
Bunga:
Try painting him in action. Like this! [Bunga poses.] *growls* Now, you try it.
Kion:
Like this? [Kion poses.] *growls*
Bunga:
[Bunga bounds up a rock pile to join Kion.] No, no, no. You need to look more like a lion. [Bunga poses.] *growls*
Fuli:
*chuckles* How can Kion look more like a lion?
Bunga:
Like this. [Bunga shoves Kion.] *grunts* [Bunga adjusts Kion's legs and puts him in an upright position.] Ah. See? [Bunga adjusts Kion's jaw.] Now, put your chin out, like you mean it.
Rafiki:
[Rafiki rolls his eyes.] *groans*
Kion:
*giggles* Bunga, that tickles.
Bunga:
[Bunga poses Kion.] Hmm, Kion, you're not looking very lion-y. [Bunga adjusts Kion's legs.] Let's see. Hmm.
Kion:
[Kion teeters.] Whoa! Bunga! [Kion collapses.] *grunts*
Fuli:
Was that action enough for you, Rafiki?
Rafiki:
Hmm, yes.
Bunga:
[Bunga lifts one arm into the air.] Wait a minute. I know. Paint me in action. [Bunga strikes multiple poses.] *grunts* [Bunga steps on a broken gourd, which flies into the air and lands on his head.] But don't paint me like this.
Kion:
[Kion collapses in laughter.] *laughs* [Rafiki glares, unamused.] Sorry, Rafiki. [Kion stands and gets back into his pose. Rafiki holds up a hand.]
Rafiki:
No, no, no. [Rafiki wags a finger.] Thank you for the help. [Rafiki makes shooing motions at the Lion Guard.] Now, please, no more help. I need to think in peace. [Rafiki sits in a meditative position.]
Beshte:
[from offscreen] Hey, you guys. [Rafiki's eyes snap open. Beshte rushes into the Lair of the Lion Guard.] I have some news.
Rafiki:
[Rafiki sags out of his meditative position.] *sighs* No peace here.
Kion:
[Kion approaches Beshte.] So, what's the news, Beshte?
[Kion, Bunga, and Fuli gather around Beshte.]
Beshte:
Oh, it's really important. See, I was just down at the watering hole. And my friend Kulu? Her cousin overheard some buffalo [Kion's face turns to confusion.] talking about something his sister saw earlier today when she was over in the canyon near Chakula Plains. Poa! I'm glad I was there to hear about it.
Kion:
And what was it, Beshte?
Beshte:
What was what?
Fuli:
[Fuli rolls her eyes.] [irritated] *groans* [Fuli stamps a paw emphatically.] What your friend Kulu's cousin overheard the buffalo's sister say she saw from the canyon!
Beshte:
Oh, right. *chuckles* I almost forgot the most important part. She saw Janja and his hyenas on the ledge overlooking the plains.
Kion:
Janja? Back in the Pride Lands? He wouldn't come back unless he was planning something. [Kion paces away thoughtfully.] Hmm...
Beshte:
Oh! Did I mention there's a herd of zebra grazing there?
Kion:
That's it! [Kion turns to face his friends.] Janja's planning to attack the zebras! Come on, we have to get to Chakula Plains! [Kion bounds out of the Lair of the Lion Guard.] Till the Pride Lands' end...
Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli:
[Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli follow Kion.] Lion Guard defend!
Ono:
[Ono watches his friend leave from a nest.] [crestfallen] Most of the Lion Guard defend.
[Rafiki paints the Lion Guard.]
Rafiki:
*hums* [Rafiki stops painting and throws up his hands.] Ah! Why? Why? [Rafiki bounds away from his paintings.] It is still not right!
[Ono flies down to survey the paintings.]
Ono:
[from offscreen] It looks fine to me, Rafiki. [The camera pans to show Rafiki's paintings of past Lion Guards.] It's just like all the other Lion Guard paintings.
Rafiki:
[Rafiki holds up his hands.] That is the problem. [Rafiki puts a hand to his face thoughtfully.] The new Lion Guard, it is not like the others. Yet it should be simple. [The camera zooms in on Rafiki's painting of Kion's Lion Guard.] Their leader and those he leads. [Rafiki holds up his fists.] Ha, ha! [Rafiki unclenches his fists.] Kion! [Rafiki gestures at the painting of Kion.] He does not just lead you. [Rafiki approaches the painting of Kion's Lion Guard.] You are all friends! *laughs* Yes! Yes! [Rafiki turns to face Ono.] You all belong together!
Ono:
[pensively] We do belong together. All of us. [with more confidence] Eye or no eye, my place is with the Guard. Thanks, Rafiki! [Ono flies out of the Lair of the Lion Guard.] I gotta get going if I'm gonna catch up with them!
[The scene transitions to the hyenas who are setting up a trap]
Cheezi:
(Grunts) There. Why're we doin' this, Janja? We can't eat rocks.
Chungu: 
[Chungu is seen eating a rock] (Chomps) What?
Janja: 
All part of my plan.
Chungu:
To eat zebras?
Janja: 
The zebras are just the bait.
Cheezi: 
To catch bigger zebras?
Janja: 
No, fur brains! To trap the Lion Guard!
Chungu: 
Uh, we're gonna eat the Lion Guard?
Janja: 
No! We're going to...
[The Lion Guard runs through the canyons] 
Kion: 
[from offscreen] Hurry! This way!
Janja: 
[The hyenas watch from above as the Lion Guard runs by] Shh. Here they come now.
Kion: 
This is the fastest way to the zebras! Come on!
Janja: 
Now!
[Both Grunting]
[The hyenas push the rocks blocking the Lion Guard's path]
All:
Whoa! [Grunting] [Coughing]
[The Lion Guard tries to go the other way]
Kion: 
Quick! We'll have to take the long way round!
Janja: 
That's what you think.(Grunts) [Janja pushes the rocks to block the Lion Guard's path]
All: 
Whoa!
Bunga: 
Not again!
Kion: 
Take cover.
(All of the Lion Guard take cover)
Beshte: 
[Beshte lifts up the rock] (Grunts)
Fuli: 
[Fuli goes under the rock] Kion! Bunga!
Kion:
Bunga!
Bunga: 
[Bunga skips with joy an goes to the other rocks] (Giggles)
Kion: 
Everyone okay?
Beshte: 
Yep.
Fuli: 
I'm good.
Bunga: 
Let's do that again!
Kion: 
Right. Thanks, Beshte.
Beshte: 
"Poa!" (Grunts) [Beshte puts down the rock]
Kion: 
"Heyvi kabisa!"
Fuli: 
What are the chances of two rock slides making two walls in one day with us in the middle?
Kion: 
No chance. This is Janja's doing.
Janja: 
[Janja and the hyenas apporche from above] You got that right, Kion! You're trapped! I win! (Shirking laugh) Looks like we're dining on zebra today. And you can't do nothing to stop me!
Kion: 
Don't even try it, Janja! [Kion tries to climb the wall but struggles] (Grunts)
Janja: 
How you gonna stop me, lion cub? You're all the way down there! Aw, poor little Lion Guard. Protectors of the Pride Lands. Stuck behind a big ol' wall.
Cheezi and Chungu: 
(Laugh)
Janja: 
You fell right into my trap. Or my trap fell right onto you!
(All laughing)
Janja: 
Come on, boys. All the zebra you can eat. And more.
Chungu: 
Now you're talkin'.
Cheezi and Chungu: 
(Laugh)
[The hyenas start walking towards the zebras]
Janja: 
♪ Outta the way
Cheezi and Chungu: 
♪ Outta the way
Janja: 
♪ Outta the way
Cheezi and Chungu: 
♪ Outta the way
Janja, Cheezi and Chungu: 
♪ Now we can feast on bird and beast ♪ Now they're outta the way ♪ Now they're outta the way ♪
Chungu: 
(Laughs) Now we get it.
[The scene cuts back to the Lion Guard]
Bunga: 
What are you waiting for, Kion? Use the Roar! Blast that wall!
Kion: 
Uh, I can't, Bunga! [Beshte looks at the rocks] The zebras are right on the other side. The rocks could fly out and hurt them.
Bunga: 
Oh, right. Then blast this wall. We can go around the long way to get to the zebras, and then... [Bunga makes a disapointed face] Oh.
Fuli: 
Then it'll be too late.
Beshte:
I think I can move this rock. Maybe it'll make an opening big enough for us to squeeze through.
Kion: 
Worth a try. Go for it, Beshte.
Beshte:
(Grunts) [Beshte tries to pick up the rock]
(Rumbling)
Beshte: 
"Twende Kiboko!"
[The rocks start to fall]
Bunga: 
Whoa. [Bunga moves out of the way]
Kion: 
Beshte! Watch out!
Beshte:
Uh-oh. [Beshte moves out of the way]
Kion: 
Beshte, you okay?
Beshte: 
I'm okay. Sorry that didn't work.
Kion: 
Don't worry, Beshte. We just have to come up with something that will work.
Ono: 
[Ono comes to where the rest of the Lion Guard] Guys, guys!
Fuli: 
Ono!
Bunga: 
Hey, ya, Ono!
Ono: 
[Ono lands] I don't know if I can help, but I'm here.
Beshte: 
You flew all the way here? You must be feeling better.
Ono: 
Well, I still can't see very well.
Kion: 
It doesn't matter. You flew here. And that gives me an idea. Ono, I'm gonna use the Roar to blast those rocks. Fly over to the zebras and get them to move away from the canyon.
Ono: 
Easy enough. You got it, Kion. [Ono flys to the zebra herd] [Nervous] If you would, please follow me away from the canyon. (Ono tries to move the zebra but they don't follow) (Giggling nervously) Now, hurry. This way! Don't push! [Ono lands next to Thurston] Oh, come on. Perhaps I've failed to emphasize the importance of following me.
Thurston: 
We're eating here. Can't you see that?
Ono: 
I can see. But what you can't see is that the hyenas are coming!
Thurston: 
[Thurston picks up his head] Hyenas? You guys chased them out of the Pride Lands yesterday!
Ono: 
That's what we thought! Except when we were chasing them, I got sand in my eye. It made it hard to fly. I still tried, but I accidentally dive-bombed my friends, and they... They all had to run. Be right back. [Ono flys to scare the zebras] [Yelling] Move it!
[All Yelping]
[All the zebra start to run]
Thurston:
Panic and run! Panic and run!
[The scene cuts to the hyenas]
Cheezi: 
♪ Outta the way Outta the way ♪
(All Laughing)
[The hyenas see that the zebra are moving]
Chungu: 
(Gasps) Hey. Where's lunch going?
Janja: 
Nowhere. [Janja makes an angry face] (Growls) Come on, boys. After them!
Ono: 
[The sceen cuts back to Ono and the zebras] [Laughs] I knew I could get you to move.
[The scene cuts back to Bunga who i seen looking at rocks]
Bunga: 
Wow. [Chuckling] Oh.
Beshte: 
See anything, Little B?
Bunga: 
Yeah.
Fuli: 
Really? Did Ono get the zebra to move?
Bunga:
Oh, I don't know. All I see are rocks.
Fuli: 
[Groans]
Kion: 
Don't worry. I'm sure Ono can do it.
Ono: 
[Ono flys back the rest of the :ion Guard] Kion! Kion! (Panting) The zebra are on the move! You're all clear to roar!
Kion: 
Thanks, Ono. Everyone, get behind me. [Bunga, Fuli, Beshte and Ono get behind Kion] (Roaring)
[Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to make the rocks get unblocked and the rocks hit the hyenas]
Chungu: 
Uh-oh.
(All Grunt)
[The rocks crash into the hyenas and the Lion Guard get out of the hyenas trap]
Kion: 
How's the plan working now, Janja?
Janja: 
I got plenty of plans, Kion. New plan, fellas. Run!
Cheezi and Chungu: 
[Both Yelping]
[The hyena start to run]
Bunga: 
(Laughs)
Janja: 
You haven't seen the last of me!
Kion:
Good job, Ono. We couldn't have done it without you.
Ono: 
Just glad to be back on the team.
Kion: 
You were always on the team, Ono.
[The scene translates to Pride Rock and we go into the Lair of the Lion Guard]
[Everyone is looking at Rafiki's finished painting]
Rafiki: 
Yes, yes, yes. Now it is right. The leader of the Lion Guard and his friends.
Kion: 
It's perfect, Rafiki. [Kion looks at Ono] What do you think, Ono?
Ono: 
I think it's the best painting I've even seen.
Rafiki: 
That means a great deal to me. [Rafiki points at Ono] Coming from the keenest of sight.
[Ono smiles at Rafiki and he brings the painting to life]
[The Lion Guard all Exclaim]
Beshte: 
"Poa!"
Fuli: 
Nice. [Beshte smiles at Fuli]
[The scene cuts to the Lion Guard's painting]
Rafiki: 
This Lion Guard is best together.
