The River of Patience/Transcript

(The Lion Guard, Makini and the Night Pride walk up towards the Tree of Life)
Beshte: 
"Poa." The Tree of Life is huge! 
Rani: 
(Rani turns to face Beshte) Yes, it is. Now follow me.
(Everyone walks inside the Tree of Life to speak to Queen Janna)
Kion: 
"Heyvi kabisa."
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 Queen Janna)
Kion: 
Thank you, Your Majesty. My Friend Ono and I have come to be healed.
Janna: 
Step closer, Kion and Ono. 
(Kion and Ono step closer and Janna recognizes the Mark of the Guard)
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 looks closely at Kion and Ono)
Janna: 
Nirmala is a fierce warrior. But she is also a gentle healer. 
Nirmala: 
(Nirmala talks to 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. (Ono goes back on Beshte's back)
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. 
(Nirmala takes Kion to begin his healing)
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.
(Rani goes to show the rest of the Lion Guard around)
Janna: 
Little Makini. Please stay.
Makini:
(Makini stays and walks up to Janna) 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 transitions and Nirmala takes Kion to the River of Patience)
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.
(Kion goes but Nirmala stops him)
Nirmala: 
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? (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 transitions and Rani shows the rest of the Lion Guard around 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. 
(Music starts)
(Rani and the Lion Guard walk around)
Rani
¶ Welcome to the Tree of Life
(Rani and the Lion Guard walk past a Waterfall) 
¶ A wondrous mystic place
¶ We're living life in harmony
¶ It's what we all embrace
¶ So, if you need healing
(Ono listens to Rani's song)
¶ Shelter free of sorrow and strife
(Fuli and Bunga are amazed by everything)
¶ You will be welcome
(Rani and the Lion Guard walk past the Desert, Forest, Tundra and Plain)
¶ Welcome to the Tree of Life
(Rani and the Lion Guard walk past some camels)
¶ Desert, forest, tundra, plain
¶ Are brought together here
(Rani and the Lion Guard walk past Tundra and past a polar bear)
¶ So, animals from near and far
(Bunga catches snow on his tung)
¶ Live in peace and without fear
¶ So, if you need healing
¶ Shelter free of sorrow and strife
(Rani and the Lion Guard walk past the Forest)
¶ You will be welcome
¶ Welcome to the Tree of Life
(Pikas walk past Beshte and Ono)
¶ Respect for fellow animals
(Leumars leap over Fuli)
¶ Is all you need to stay
¶ (All you need to stay)
(A fox leaps by Bunga and jumps on top)
¶ But, no one living here
(Anga flys with other rare birds)
¶ Would want it any other way
(Rani leaps on a log)
¶ So, if you need healing
¶ Shelter free of sorrow and strife
(Rani and the Lion Guard walk by Heng Heng the panda)
¶ Know you are welcome
(Rani and the Lion Guard walk past a river)
¶ Welcome to the Tree of Life
(Rani and the Lion Guard make it back to the Tree of Life)
¶ You know you are welcome
¶ Welcome to the Tree of Life
(Music ends)
Rani: 
All are welcome here, as long as they respect the Circle of Life.
(The scene transitions and Makucha and his army walk through the mountain pass)
Makucha: 
(Chuckles 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. 
Chluun: 
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 spots Makucha's army) Hoo?
Ora: 
Then all those rare animals will be mine.
Ullu: (Hooting) (Ullu goes to warn Rani)
(The scene transitions back to Rani and the rest of the Lion Guard)
Rani: 
Hold up, everyone.
Ullu: 
(Whispering)
Rani: 
Tour's over. Gotta go.
(Ullu and Rani leave)
Anga: 
What was that?
Fuli: 
I don't know. But something's up.
(The scene transitions back to Kion and Niramla)
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? (Kion spots a log) Finally! (Kion hops on the log but falls into the water) (Grunts) Whoa! 
Nirmala: 
Try again.
Kion: 
(Kion gets out of the water) (Sighs) And we're waiting. Again. 
Rani: 
(Rani comes up) 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 transitions back to Makchua and his army walks closer to the Mountain pass)
Makchua: 
This is it! The scent's getting stronger. Just follow me!
Chuluun: 
If you want us to follow, stop talking and start leading!
Makchua: 
Fine. Come on! Those rare animals will never know we're coming!
Rani:
(Rani and the Night Pride stop Makucha's Army) Maybe not... But we know. 
Makchua:
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.
Makchua: 
Thanks, but no thanks! (Growling) (Makucha gets ready to stop the Night Pride)
Rani: 
With strength and respect...
Night Pride: 
Night Pride protect!
(The scene transitions back to Kion who is seen falling asleep but the Lion Guard comes tohim)
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: 
(Bunga lies down) Oooh, yeah! It does!
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 Lion Guard goes to help the Night Pride)
(The scene transitions back to the Night Pride and Baliyo kicks Makucha out of the way)
Makchua: 
Take your best shot! (Grunts)
(Baliyo kicks Makucha)
Ora: 
(Scoffs) Not bad. 
Makchua: 
(Painting) Whose side are you on?
Ora: 
My side, Makucha! Always! (Low growling)
(Surak grabs Ora's tail)
Rani and Ora: 
(Rani knocks Ora out of the way) (Both grunting)
Rani: 
(Growling) (Rani jumps on top of Chuluun)
Chuluun: 
(Gasps)
Rani: 
Get out! (Rani kicks Chuluun)
Chuluun: 
(Grunts)
Makchua: 
No!
(Makucha's Army leaves)
Rani: 
Now leave! And never come back! (Rani turns to the Night Pride) Well done, Night Pride.
Kion: 
"Heyvi kabisa!"
(The Lion Guard slides into the Night Pride)
ALl: 
(Grunting)
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: 
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.
(Rani leaves to tell Janna what happened)
(The scene transitions back to Janna who is seen training Makini)
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:
(Makini picks up the staff) Oh! 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: 
(Makini looks scared) An army of predators?
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 up to Kion) 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 transitions to Kion and Nirmala are back at the River of Patiences waiting 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:
(Kion rubs his eye because of his scar) Argh... (Kion spots a log) Yes! 
Nirmala:
Patience, Kion. 
Kion: 
 (Kion falls off the log) Forget it! This time I'm doing it my way!
Nirmala: 
If you must (Nirmala jumps on a log and makes it to the other side)
Kion:
(Kion tries to swim) Whoa. This current is stronger than it looked. (Grunting) (Grunting) (Panting) (Kion makes it to shore)
Nirmala: 
This way, Kion! Follow me!
Kion: 
Straight up the slope looks faster to me. (Kion goes up the slope) Whoa. (Grunting) Almost there...
Nirmala:
(Nirmala makes it to the top) How's that going for you?
Kion:
It's going just... Fine! (Kion falls) (Groans) 
(Nirmala jumps down)
Kion: 
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 transitions to later that night and, Kion is seen talking to his friends)
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 transitions and the Night Pride gets ready to go 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)
Baliyo: 
They're trying to sneak up in the dark? What part of Night Pride didn't they understand?
(Ora's tail drags)
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!
Baliyo: 
Nah! We saw you too.
Chuluun: 
What?
Rani: 
We're the Night Pride. Remember?
Baliyo: 
"Lada'i!" (Baliyo attacks Ora)
(Surak attacks Chuluun)
(Rani attacks Makucha)
(All Grunting)
(Makucha's army all roll down a hill)
Rani: 
And this time stay out!
(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 transitions to the next morning and Kion and Nirmala are at the River or Patience) 
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 across the river)
Kion:
 Patience. Patience. (Kion jumps onto the log)
Nirmala: 
Well done!
Kion: 
(Kion falls off the log) Try again. (Kion catches the log)
Nirmala: 
Good job, Kion! Now you're getting it!
Ullu:
(Ullu comes to warn Nimrala) (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 leaves with Ullu)
Kion: 
(Sighs) Stay focused... Finish the task. 
(The scene transitions and the Night Pride gets ready to fight Makucha's Army)
Rani: 
With strength and respect... 
All: 
Night Pride protect!
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 in)
Ora: 
What?! No! I am in charge! Remember? (Ora follows Makucha and Chuluun)
Rani: 
They're trying to go around us! Come on.
Ora: 
Dead end. Now we do it my way. We stand and fight!
Chuluun: 
You do it your way. I'll do it mine!
Ora and Makucha: 
(Growling)
(Rani fights Makucha)
Baliyo:
(Baliyo fights Ora) Surak! Look out!
(Chuluun tries to attack Surak but she ducks and Surak attacks her)
Surak: 
(Growling)
Baliyo:
Nice move. 
(Ora bites Baliyo)
Baliyo:
Guys, I'm down.
Rani: 
Hey. That's my little brother you bit! (Rani attacks Ora)
Rani and Ora: 
(Both grunting)
Makucha:
Nice work, Ora. Now it's three against three.
(The scene transitions back to Kion and he makes it to the top)
Kion: 
Made it. Now where's that flower?
Rani: 
(Off-screen_ (Screams)
Kion: 
(Kion sees the Night Pride fighting Makucha's Army) "Heyvi kabisa!" The Night Pride. And Baliyo's down. Nirmala said to finish the task. No matter what. (Kion picks up the flower) But now I can help!
(Makucha's Army circles around the Night Pride)
(All growling)
(Rani tries to attack Chuluun but misses)
(Chuluun goes after Baliyo)
Rani:
 Baliyo.
(Kion attacks Chuluun)
Chuluun: 
(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 Chuluun: 
(Both growling)
(Makucha and Chuluun go up the hill)
Rani: 
Surak. Follow Ora. Make sure he doesn't double back.
Surak: 
Understood. (Surak leaves)
Rani: 
Nirmala, get Baliyo somewhere safe. Kion, you're with me. We have to stop them from getting over that ridge!
Kion: 
Okay.
Nirmala:
Kion! The path!
(Rani and Kion go to stop Makucha and Chuluun)
Kion: 
(Kion goes up the path) Let Nirmala guide me... (Panting) I hope... I get there... in time..
Makucha: 
What? Kion! 
Kion: 
Surprise, Makucha! (Grunting) (Kion gets rid of Makucha and tries to go afrer Chuluun but misses)
Chuluun: 
Watch it!  (Laughing) You missed!
Rani: 
I won't! (Rani pushes Chuluun)
Chuluun: 
Whoa!
Kion: 
Nice.
Rani: 
You too. Now let's make sure they keep going.
(The rest of the Lion Guard comes to help_
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) (Bunga farts on Makucha and Chuluun)
Makucha: and Chuluun: 
(Both coughing)
Chuluun: 
Oh, no!
(Makucha and Chuluun both leave)
Bunga: 
And don't come back.
(Rani and Kion walk down the hill)
Rani: 
I guess we make a pretty good team after all. 
(Everyone goes to check on Baliyo)
Rani: 
How's Baliyo?
Nirmala: 
The venom will wear off eventually. He will be fine.
Rani: 
You should be more careful, little brother.(Rani hugs Baliyo)
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 transitions back to the Mountain Pass, Makucha's Army is seen talking)
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: 
(Mama Binturong shows up and is hanging from a tree) Oh, yes. Especially "that Bunga." No one wants to get rid of him more than me. 
Makucha: 
And who are you?
Mama Binturong: 
I'm Mama Binturong. And I'm your new leader.
