Swept Away/Transcript

[The Zebras are seen stuck in some dried mud]
Thurston: 
Well everyone. I'm afraid we have no other choice. Panic and...
Ono: 
[Ono comes up to Thurston] Stop! You can't run!
(Zebras Straining)
Thurston: 
(Sighs) We can still panic.
[The rest of the Lion Guard comes up to the zebras]
Kion: 
You don't need to panic. We just have to figure out how to get you unstuck.
Thurston: 
I simply don't understand. There used to be a river here. But now everything is so dry.
Fuli: 
That's because it's the dry season.
Thurston: 
Ah the dry season. I see. But where'd all the water go?
Fuli: 
(Sighs) Maybe it panicked and ran.
Bunga: 
[Bunga slides down next to Kion] You know what we could really use? Some rain.
Thurston: 
Oh yes. Capital idea.
Fuli: 
Well obviously. (Sighs) Is no one listening to me?
Beshte: 
We need to hurry Kion. This mud's gettin' drier by the second. If it dries up completely, we'll never get all these zebras out!
Kion: 
Actually all we need is one dark cloud.
Ono: 
[Ono looks at the dark cloud] You mean like that one?
Fuli: 
[Fuli walks up to Kion and Bunga] What are you thinking Kion?
Kion: 
I'm thinking Bunga's right. We need it to rain.
Fuli: 
Okay...So where are we gonna get rain from?
Kion: 
The Roar.
[Fuli and Bunga give Kion a look]
Fuli: 
(Gasps)
Kion: 
It's made it rain before.
Bunga: 
What? This I gotta see! Do it Kion! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! [Bunga jumps up and down]
Kion: 
Okay. Everyone prepare to get wet. (Deep Breath) (Roars) 
[Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to make it rain]
(Thunder Rumbling)
Bunga: 
The Roar can make it rain! [Bunga puts one hand in the air] Un-Bunga-lievable!
Fuli: 
Ugh. That's fine all right.
(Thunder Rumbling)
Ono: 
[Ono gets scared by lighting] Hapana!
Thurston: 
(Grunting) [Thurston frees himself] Oh! Huzzah!
Beshte: 
Nice job on the rain Kion.
Kion: 
Thanks Beshte.
Fuli:
(Shivers) Now if only there was a Roar to make it stop.
Bunga: 
It'll stop any second.
(Thunder Rumbling)
Bunga: 
(Chuckles Nervously) See?
Beshte: 
Poa! This is great! The ground is really thirsty.
Ono: 
The ground might be thirsty Beshte. But it's so dry it can't absorb all this water. And there's nowhere for it to go.
Fuli: 
Oh it's going somewhere all right. Look!
[The water starts to come closer to the Lion Guard and zebras]
Ono: 
Hapana! (Whimpers)
Kion:
Lion Guard! We gotta get these zebra to safety! Fuli! Round up the zebras! Beshte! See if you can block the water!
Beshte: 
You got it Kion!
Fuli: 
This way! Huwezi!
[The Lion Guard free the zebras and gets them to safety]
Thurston: 
I don't understand. You said it was the dry season.
[Two zebras are seen stuck]
Zebras: 
(Both Straining)
Beshte: 
(Panting)
Zebras: 
(Both Gasp)
Beshte: 
[Beshte blocks the water and the zebras free themselves] (Straining)
Beshte: 
Twende...Ki... Bo...Ko! [Beshte slides down in the water and gets washed away] [He tries to hold onto a rock but let's go] Whoa! (Grunts) Poa. That was the craziest water slide ever! Right guys? Guys? Wait...I'm in the Outlands. I better get back to the Pride Lands and make sure everyone else is okay.
[The scene transitions and the rest of the Lion Guard are with Thurston's herd]
Kion: 
Anybody hurt?
Zebra: 
Nope. We're okay.
Thurston: 
Yes.
Ono: 
See? You didn't have to panic and run.
Thurston: 
Hmm. You're right. Zebras remember that for next time. Panicking was enough.
[The zebra herd leaves]
Ono: 
(Sighs)
Bunga: 
That was un-Bunga-lievable Kion!The Roar made it rain!
Kion: 
Yeah. But it was a lot more rain than I was expecting. Good job blocking that wave Beshte. [Kion notices that Beshte is missing] Beshte?
Bunga: 
Hey Big B? Where you hiding? Big B? Big B!
Fuli: 
How'd we manage to lose a whole hippo?
Kion: 
All that water. It must've swept him away! Beshte?
Fuli: 
Washed away?
Bunga: 
Nah... He's Big B! You know... Big.
Ono: 
Then again that was an awful lot of water. And it was moving awfully fast.
Kion: 
Hevi Kabisa. I should have thought of that before I used the Roar.
Bunga: 
But you saved the zebras.
Kion: 
Let's just hope Beshte's okay.
Bunga: 
'Course he's okay. He's Big B. He's gotta be okay! [Bunga crosses his arms but then opens his eyes] Uh he is gonna be okay right?
Kion:
Ono take a look and see if you can spot him.
Ono: 
Affirmative! [Ono flys up to look for Beshte] Come on Beshte. Where are you?
[The scene transitions to the Outlands]
Beshte: 
Phew. It's really hot! The sun's gonna burn me if I'm not careful. I better find some shade. The riverbed might be the fastest way home... But at least this way I'll be able to find some shade and see more of the Outlands!
(Upbeat music playing)
[Beshte looks at the sun] 
:¶ Poa! That sun is hot
:¶ Got to keep moving Long way to walk
:¶ Can't see shelter I've looked a lot
:¶ No time to waste No place to stop
:¶ 'Cause one thing hard way I've learnt
:¶ If I'm out in the sun too long I get burned
[Beshte feels the breeze] 
:¶ Loving every bit of this welcome breeze
:¶ But what I need is shady trees
:¶ But it's okay and it's all right
:¶ I'll push it along till Pride Land's in sight
:¶ Need a break Take a rest real soon
:¶Till then I'll be singing this tune
[Beshte looks at the bugs on the ground] 
:¶ Gotta look on the bright side!
[A moth comes and lands on Beshte's eyes] 
:¶ This shining sun will never get me down
:¶ Gotta look on the bright side!
:¶ A happy song will help me get around
:¶ Flood plains would be great right now
:¶ How about clouds of rain come down?
:¶ Even a shadow that will hit the ground
:¶ Not a place that's to be found
[Beshte stands in the shade] 
:¶ Wait a minute I think I've found a place
:¶ Great rock space I can take a break
:¶ Love the scenery I mean to say
:¶ But got to stay safe while I'm on my way
[Beshte shakes his bottom and the skinks watches Beshte from a distances] 
:¶ Gotta look on the bright side!
:¶ A long way home
:¶ Got lots of things to see
:¶ Gotta look on the bright side!
:¶ Spirits high is how I'll always be
:¶ Phew! Now that hit the spot
:¶ Catch my breath and rest and cool off
[Beshte keeps walking and moving] 
:¶ Stretch my leg Step I can't stop
:¶ Home on my mind Time to move on
:¶ Pride Lands bound. Be home with ease
:¶ Love that sun. But love shade and trees
:¶ Back real soon. Had time to breathe
:¶ Found that shelter! No burns for me
:¶ Gotta look on the bright side!
:¶ This shining sun will never get me down
[Beshte shakes his bottom and the skinks watches Beshte from a distances] 
:¶ Gotta look on the bright side!
:¶ A happy song will help me get around
:¶ Gotta look on the bright side!
:¶ The long way home has lots of things to see
:¶ Gotta to look on the bright side!
:¶ Spirits high is how I'll always be
(Music ends)
[The scene transitions to the rest of the Lion Guard who are following the water path]
Fuli: 
Who knows how far the rushing water took him.
Kion: 
At least we know what direction he went.
Fuli:
Yeah that's good I guess. 
[Everyone stops at the Outlands]
Fuli:
Unless that direction was the Outlands.
Ono: 
[Ono lands] No sign of Beshte. And the water's already drying up. Hippos don't do so well in the sun without any water or mud to cover their skin.
Kion: 
Then we've gotta find him fast. Come on!
[Everyone goes to the Outlands]
Ono: 
Wait for me.
[The scene transitions and Beshte stands in a shady spot]
Beshte: 
(Sighs) That's better. [Beshte gets worried after hearing Shupavu's voice]
Shupavu: 
What are you doing in the Outlands hippo?
[The skinks come up to Beshte]
Beshte: 
Huh? Oh. Hey there little lizard. I'm just looking for shade on my way back to the Pride Lands.
Njano: 
We could use you for shade! [Njano goes under Beshte]
Beshte: 
(Chuckles) Yeah. I bet you could!
Female Skink: 
We can help you find more shade if you like.
Beshte: 
You can?
Shupavu: 
[Shupavu goes onto Beshte's head] Of course we can.
Beshte: 
Poa! Like my dad says "You can make friends wherever you go."
Shupavu: 
(Chuckles) How sweet. Now follow me.
[The skinks show Beshte the way]
[The scene transitions to Ono flying in the air]
Ono: 
He's got to be around here somewhere. (Groans) Better tell Kion. I looked all over the Outlands and there's no sign of him. I feel terrible.
Kion: 
Don't beat yourself up Ono. This is my fault not yours. (Sighs) He's out there all alone.[Kion thinks for a second] Wait. Beshte's probably the only hippo in the Outlands. So even if we can't find him, we should find signs of him. Ono, could you look for hippo prints? If we find those they should lead to Beshte.
Ono: 
I wasn't even looking for footprints. You got it Kion! [Ono flys up to look for hippo prints]
Fuli: 
And maybe you and I can track him by scent.(Sniffing) [Fuli sniffs out for Beshte]
Kion: 
Good thinking Fuli. (Both Sniffing) [Kion sniffs out for Beshte]
Bunga: 
You smell him? [Bunga tries to sniff for Beshte but smells himself] (Sniffing) I don't smell him. (Inhales deeply)
(Breeze Blows)
Bunga: 
Whoa! [Bunga covers his noise and lifts up a leg] What is that smell? (Exclaims)
Fuli: 
(Sighs) That's you Bunga.
Bunga: 
(Chuckles Nervously) Oh yeah. [Bunga smells himself] (Sniffing Deeply) Pure Bunga.
Kion: 
Bunga why don't you stay downwind of us so we can track Beshte without any...Interference.
Bunga: 
Hmm. Got it. [Bunga stands behind Kion and Fuli] I know! I can shout for him so he knows we're looking for him! (Shouts loudly) [Fuli and Kion cover their ears] Beshte! Beshte! Beshte!
Fuli: 
Oh yeah. That's much less annoying. (Sniffing)
Bunga: 
Beshte! Beshte!
[The scene transitions to the Outlands Volcano and Janja is seen talking to Cheezi and Chungu]
Janja: 
It don't matter what he says. You two always gotta listen to me.
Cheezi: 
You got it boss.
Chungu: 
What'd he say?
Cheezi: 
He said listen to me.
Chungu: 
Uh Cheezi? I was listening to you.
Cheezi: 
Not me-me. Him-me.
Chungu: 
Who me?
Ushari:
[Ushari watches the conversation from a distance] So sad.
[Njano goes up to Ushari]
Njano: 
Psst. Ushari!
[Ushari turns around]
Ushari: 
I'm right here.
Njano:
Yeah well I got a secret you might wanna know.
Janja: 
[Janja looks at Njnao] Secret?
Njano: 
That hippo from the Lion Guard is stuck in the Outlands. Alone.
Ushari: 
Is he now?
Njano: 
Shupavu's keeping an eye on him right now.
Janja: 
Who cares about a hippo?
Scar: 
[Scar pops out from the lava] I care.
Janja:
[Janja turns to Scar] Oh yeah! Yeah! I care tons!
Cheezi: 
Me too!
Chungu: 
Uh... why do we care?
Scar: 
Because if the Lion Guard's strongest is alone in the Outlands it's the perfect opportunity to eliminate him!
Ushari: 
Yes. It will weaken the Lion Guard.
Scar: 
Correct Ushari. And then you hyenas will get to eat whatever you like in the Pride Lands.
Cheezi:
Whatever we want?
Chungu:
Yum!
Janja: 
[Janja turns to Cheezi and Chungu] First we gotta take out Beshte.
Chungu: 
But he's the strongest. How are we supposed to do that boss?
Janja: 
Don't call me "boss" in front of the boss. [Janja turns back to Scar]
Scar: 
In case you fools haven't noticed it's the dry season. Too much sun makes hippos weak. Since Beshte already seems to trust you skinks we can use that to our advantage. I have a plan.
Janja:
Listen to him boys he has a plan.
Chungu: 
Him you? Or Him-him?
Ushari:
Just listen. Scar always has a plan! Big plans!
Scar: 
Correct. Big plans indeed. Now here's what I want you to do.
[The scene transitions back to Beshte and the skinks]
Beshte: 
Thanks again for finding me shade. The Pride Lands are all the way on the other side of Rocky Plateau. But I don't think I can make it across without getting burned.
Njano: 
[Njano walks up to Beshte] I got ya covered! Literally! I know a shortcut. Through the caves under Rocky Plateau.
Beshte: 
You do?
Shupavu: 
And you're sure that's the right way to go?
Njano: 
Sure I'm sure. It'll keep Beshte outta the sun so he won't burn. Trust me.
Beshte: 
That'd be Poa. Let's go.
Njano: 
The cave's this way. Follow me.
Beshte: 
Who knew folks were so helpful in the Outlands? Lucky I found you guys. I mean lucky you found me. Whew! Let's go.
Shupavu: 
Yes. Totally lucky.
[Beshte follows the skinks to Rocky Plateau] 
Njano: 
This way.
Janja: 
[Janja watches as Beshte heads to his trap] He's falling for it! (Laughs) This plan's gonna work out great.
Cheezi: 
I dunno Janja. Your plans don't usually work out so good.
Janja: 
This ain't my plan fur-brain remember? It's Scar's.
Cheezi:
Oh yeah right.
Chungu: 
Then maybe it will work.
Janja: 
Exactly! Hey! [Janja turns around and then realizes what they said] (Sighs) Never mind. Come on fur-brains. Let's get over to Rocky Plateau. We got work to do. (Laughing)
[The scene transitions back to Fuli, Kion and Bunga]
Fuli: 
(Sniffing) I thought I had him but...
Kion:
(Sniffing) Yeah I'm not having much luck tracking him either.
Fuli: 
It's hard to smell somebody's scent when it's been washed away by so much water.
Kion: 
(Sigh) I hope Ono's having better luck.
[The scene transitions to Ono flying in the sky]
Ono: 
Come on Beshte... Where did you go? Those look like...Hippo prints! Of course! Beshte went into the cave to get out of the sun! [Ono flys back to Kion] Kion! Kion! I know where Beshte went!
Kion: 
You found him?
Ono: 
Not exactly. Just follow me. [Ono leads the guard to where Beshte is] His tracks lead in here.
Kion: 
Nice work Ono.
Bunga: 
[Bunga looks at Beshte's footprints] Whoa! Look at that!
Fuli: 
What is it?
Bunga: 
[Bunga's steps in Beshte's footprint] Big B...He has really big feet!
Fuli:
Because he's a hippo Bunga.
Bunga: 
Oh yeah.
Kion: 
Beshte must have gone in to get shelter from the sun. Come on!
[The scene transitions to Beshte and the skinks]
Beshte: 
So are we getting close to the end of the caves?
Njano:
Oh we're getting close to the end all right. (Snickers)
Shupavu: 
[Shupavu walks up to Njano] You got a plan right?
Njano: 
Oh yeah. Hurry up.
Beshte: 
(Inhales) Okay. [Beshte tries to fit through the rocks] (Grunts) Phew! That was a tight squeeze. [Beshte notices the dead end] Uh-oh. Hey little skinks? I think we made a wrong turn somewhere. This is a dead end.
Janja: 
[Off-screen] You got that right! (Laughs)
Beshte: 
[Beshte turns around and sees Janja] Janja!
[The hyenas pop out from hiding] 
Cheezi: 
And us! 
Chungu: 
Hello!
Beshte: 
Skinks! You gotta get outta here! Back the way we came before the hye...
Janja: 
Now!
(Chungu and Cheezi Grunting)
[Cheezi and Chuugu push and rock and it crashes]
Beshte: 
Little skinks! Look out! Uh-oh.
[The skinks get out free]
Janja: 
That's right! You're trapped! And we got lots more rocks up here! (LAUGHING) But not for long!
Beshte: 
At least those little skinks got away safe.
Chungu: 
But I thought the skinks was with us?
Janja: 
The hippo don't know that! Come on we got more rocks to push! (Grunting)
Beshte: 
Oh boy! I don't think I want to be around when that rock hits! I just gotta unblock the entrance. Twende Kibokoooo! (Echoing) Twende Kiboko...
[The rest of the Lion Guard stop after they hear Beshte]
All: 
Beshte!
Bunga: 
[Bunga knocks on a rock] (Grunting) Beshte!
[Fuli and Kion cover their ears]
Fuli:
Bunga! Not helping!
Beshte: 
Bunga?
Bunga: 
It's not huh?
Kion: 
Beshte, glad to hear you're okay.
Beshte: 
Thanks Kion. But uh... I've kind of got a [Beshte backs away so the rocks don't hit him] "hyenas and falling rock" situation here. They're pushing down rocks from an opening to Rocky Plateau. And I'm pretty sure they're trying to hit me!
Ono: 
I know where that is! I flew over it while I was looking for Beshte.
Kion: 
Hang in there Beshte! We'll handle those hyenas!
Beshte: 
Okay... But hurry. I'm runnin' outta places to go!
[The Lion Guard go to get Beshte]
Kion: 
Let's go! Till the Pride Lands end...
All: 
Lion Guard defend!
Ono: 
This way!
[Ono flys up above the rocks]
Kion: 
Ono wait! We can't just fly up there.
Fuli: 
You can't but I can get pretty close to flying. Huwezi! 
[Fuli clinbs the rocks]
Kion: 
Follow her.
[Kion and Bunga climb the rocks]
Chungu: 
(Laughing) Heh-heh. That one hit real loud. This is fun!
Janja: 
Who cares how loud it is fur-brain? Hit the hippo!
Cheezi:
We could if he'd stop moving.
Chungu: 
[Chungu goes to talk to Beshte] Hey Beshte. Maybe you could hold still a second?
Beshte: 
I don't think so.
Janja: 
Ha! He's running outta room! Now for the big one. (Grunting) 
[The hyenas push the big rock]
Beshte: 
Uh-oh.
Janja: 
(Laughing) One smooshed hippo comin' up!
[The Lion Guard come up to save Beshte]
Kion: 
Not so fast Janja! Woah! Fuli! Try to keep that rock from falling in!
Fuli: 
On it Kion! [Fuli jumps over the hyenas and onto the rock] Totally on it.
Kion: 
(Snarls) Back away Janja.
[Ono pecks Chungu's head]
Chungu: 
Hey! Stop with the pecking!
Ono: 
(Grunting)
[Cheezi puts Ono in his mouth and tries to give it Chungu but Bunga stops them]
Chungu: 
Hey!
Ono: 
(Grunting)
Fuli: 
[Fuli looks down at Beshte] Beshte! Get out of there!
Beshte: 
Twende Kiboko!
[Beshte moves the rocks blocking the path]
Kion: 
[Kion walks towards the hyenas] Thought you could hurt one of the Lion Guard did you?
[The hyenas back away slowly from Kion]
Janja: 
Oh? Is the hippo down there one of the Lion Guard? I had no idea. (Forced laugh) We were just havin' some fun. So I got nowhere to run eh cub?
Kion: 
Actually you can have all the room you need. (Roars)
[Kion uses the Roar of the Elders and blasts the hyenas away]
Bunga: 
I never get tired of that. No rain this time though. Oh well. Least we got rid of the hyenas and saved Big B.
[Bunga let's go of the big rock and it lands where Beshte was]
Fuli: 
Bunga! 
Ono: 
Beshte!
Bunga: 
Big B?
[Everyone looks worried when they don't see Beshte]
Beshte: 
Boy that last rock sure was a doozy huh? 
[Beshte comes up behind them]
(All sigh)
Bunga: 
I thought I was gonna have to be Big B from now on.
Beshte: 
Nah... I'm still here.
[The scene transitions to the hyenas landing in the Outlands]
Hyenas: 
(Yelling)
Janja: 
So much for that plan.
Cheezi: 
I guess Scar's plan worked out as good as one of yours. (Laughing) Huh Janja?
Chungu: 
Think he's gonna be mad?
Janja: 
[Janja gets up] You know maybe we don't gotta go right back to the volcano.
[Ushari talks to the hyenas]
Ushari: 
Janja? Hyenas? Scar wants to see you. Now. And he's not happy.
Janja: 
[Janja looks at the Outlands Volcano] (Gulps) Oh boy.
[The scene transitions to the Lion Guard back in the Pride Lands]
Kion: 
Beshte I'm so sorry I got you swept into the Outlands.
Beshte: 
That's okay Kion. It's not like you did it on purpose. You were helping the zebras.
Bunga: 
Yeah and it all worked out great. Plus we got to see all [Bunga jumps in the air] the hyenas go flying!
Kion: 
(Chuckles)
Beshte: 
Yeah and that never would've happened if you guys hadn't come to look for me.
Kion: 
You can always count on us Beshte.
Bunga: 
You know it Big B. [Bunga touches Beshte]
Beshte: 
Ow.
Bunga: 
Ooh. You really did get burned out there.
Beshte: 
Yeah. It's good to be home. Where there's lots of shade. And mud! [Beshte jumps in the mud and gets everyone coverd] Oh yeah! Gotta love it!
Fuli: 
(Sighs) Do we?
Rest of the Lion Guard: 
(Laughing)
