Mama Binturong/Transcript

[Everyone is walking in the forest and Beshte talks with his new friend]
Beshte: 
(Laughs)
Anga: 
Looks like Beshte's made another friend. 
Kion: 
Everywhere we go. [Kion looks back at Beshte]
Beshte: 
So Tenuk, there a lot of good plants to eat in this forest?
Tenuk: 
Ah the best! Fruits, berries, leaves you name it.
Bunga: 
How are the bugs?
Tenuk: 
Couldn't tell ya.
Ono: 
Tapirs don't eat bugs. Common knowledge, really.
Bunga: 
You don't know what you're missing.
Tenuk: 
Gonna be in these parts long? I'd love to introduce you to my friends. Hey guys, say hi to my new friend. 
Both: 
Hi, Beshte!
Beshte: 
Gee. Folks sure are friendly around here.
Tenuk: 
Yeah. And you're welcome to stay here as long as you like.
Fuli: 
Yeah, well, we're just passing through right, Kion?
Kion: 
Right.
Tenuk: 
Well, if there's anything you need while you're here, just let me know. And I mean, anything. 
Makini: 
Oh! We can always use some more tuliza.
Tenuk: 
(Stutters) T-T-Tuliza! (Yells) I take it back! Go away! Leave me alone!
(Leaves rustling) 
Makini: 
Was it something I said?
Bambun: 
Good gracious! What's going on?
Seisou: 
What did you do to Tenuk?
Beshte: 
Nothing. We didn't mean to scare him. Honest.
Makini: 
Yeah. I guess he just doesn't like tuliza.
Both: 
Tuliza! (Sceaming)
Anga: 
Wee-rid.
Kion: 
What's going on around here?
Bunga: Yeah. Everybody's running away from Makini whenever she says Tuliza.
(Birds squawks) Ah, Tuliza! Ahhh!
Beshte: 
I don't think it's about Makini.
Kion: 
Beshte's right. It's something about tuliza.
Smun:
[Smun watches the Lion Guard from a distances] Tuliza?
Fuli: 
Maybe they're scared of tuliza?
Bunga: 
Scared? Of a flower?
Fuli: 
Well, they're sure scared of something.
Smun: 
Oh, ho, ho, I gotta tell Mama. [Smun runs to Mama Binturong]
(Suspensful music playing)
Smun: 
(Panting) [Smun bumps into another porcupine] Oops!
Porcupine: 
Hey, watch where you're going. 
Smun: 
Let me through. I gotta talk to Mama. Oh, Mama! Mama! Mama!
Mama Binturong:
(Sniffs and sighs ) [Mama Binturong is sniffing tuliza] Yes, dear. What is it?
Smun: 
There's a bunch of strange animals in the forest, and they're talking about tuliza.
Mama Binturong:
Tuliza, you say? The most wonderful, beautiful, delicious flower there is. Do these strangers have some? Or, do they want some?
Smun: 
(Whimpers) I don't know, Mama.
Mama Binturong:
Well if they want some, they can't have it. And if they have some, then I want it. And we all know why, don't we? Because the tuliza is all...  (Sinserly) mine! (Laughing maniacaly)
All: 
Yes, Mama.
Mama Binturong:
You're all such good boys.
All: 
Thank you, Mama.
Mama Binturong:
And you all know you're place.
Smun: 
That's right. You're the boss!
Mama Binturong:
Yes. Mama's the boss. And nobody messes with me... Or my tuliza!
[The scene turns black and white and music starts]
Mama Binturong:
¶Well, you best not mess with Mama
¶'Cause Mama's always right
¶And if you mess with Mama
¶You're gonna lose the fight
¶Now Mama loves her boys
¶They know that she knows best

¶And if you mess with my tuliza
¶You know that's just as bad
¶There's nothing else you can do
¶That makes Mama more mad
¶My tuliza's so delicious
¶A delectable delight
¶So keep your paws off it!
¶Or you're gonna get a fright
¶Don't even say its name
¶'Cause every flower's mine
¶Unless you wanna meet the quills of a loyal porcupine
¶Oh yeah, you best not mess with Mama
¶You'll find out if do
¶A whole mess of trouble
¶Will come raining down on you!
¶And if you mess with my Tuliza
¶You know that's just as bad
¶There's nothing else you can do
All: 
¶That makes Mama more mad
Mama Binturong: 
¶Now you know Mama's always right
Porcupines: 
¶Right!
Mama Binturong: 
¶And she's got quite a appetite
Porcupines: 
¶Tite!
Mama Binturong: 
¶And you boys have gotta feed
Porcupines: 
¶Feed!
Mama Binturong: 
¶Her insatiable tuliza needs
All: 
¶You best not mess with Mama
¶You'll find out if do
Mama Binturong:
¶A whole mess of trouble
¶Will come raining down on you
¶And if you mess with my tuliza
¶You know that's just as bad

¶That make Mama more mad
Porcupines:

Mama Binturong: 
¶You best not mess
Porcupines: 
¶You best not mess with Mama
Mama Binturong: 
¶Oh you best not mess with Mama
Porcupines: 
¶You best not mess
[The scene turns back to color and music ends]
Mama Binturong:
Now, let's find out what these strangers want with my tuliza.
[The scene cuts to another part of the forest and an civet is eating a plant]
Tompok: 
(Chewing and swalloing)
Bunga: 
Oh, guys, guys, guys, guys, watch this.
Tompok: 
(Chewing)
Bunga: 
[Bunga sneaks up and scares Tompok] Tuliza!
Tompok: 
(Yells) 
Bunga: 
Did I surprise him!
Tompok: 
Woah! (Grunting)
Bunga: 
Uh-oh.
Tompok: 
(Yells) (Whimpers) [Tompok falls into the river]
Beshte: 
Oh, no, he fell into a river.
Fuli: 
Bunga!
Anga:
I got him.
Tompok: 
(Whimpering)  Help!
Anga: 
[Ana grabs Tompok Anga-lenga!
Tompok: 
Let me go! (Screaming) Help!
Anga: 
You're welcome.
Tompok: 
Please, let me go!
Anga: 
[Anga brings Tompok to safety] There.
Bunga: 
Sorry about that.
Beshte: 
So little civet, why is everyone here so afraid of tuliza?
Tompok: 
Tuliza! (Screaming) [Tompok runs away]
Anga: 
Like I said. "Wee-rid."
Tompok: 
[Tompok bumps into Smun] (Grunts) 
Smun: 
What did you tell those strangers?
Tompok: 
Nothing.
Smun: 
(Scoffs) We heard you say "tuliza."
Tompok: 
(Sheepishly) I just said the word.
Mama Binturong:
When will you civets learn? It's not nice to fool Mama Binturong. 
Tompok: 
Mama Binturong, I promise, I didn't tell them anything about you're tuliza.
Mama Binturong:
Then why are they talking to you about tuliza?
Tompok: 
I don't know. I don't know. 
(Quills emerge)
Kion: 
No more joking around okay, Bunga? We don't have time for jokes. We gotta keep going.
Smun: 
Mama, the strangers!
Mama Binturong:
Let him go. I want to see these strangers for myself.
Kion: 
[Kion scratches his eye because of his scar] (Grunts) 
Fuli: 
Makini.
Makini: 
Oh, right. Have some tuliza, Kion. [Makini gets some tuliza for Kion]
Mama Binturong:
(Sighs) Tuliza! Porcupines get me that staff. 
All: 
Yes, Mama.
Makini: 
We don't have much, but you can have a little.
Kion:
Okay. [Kion eats tuliza] (Chews and swallows) 
Mama Binturong:
(Slurps and licks lips) Tuliza!
[The porcupines bring the staff to Mama Binturong]
Makini:
Better?
Kion: 
Yes. Thanks, Makini. Okay, now let's go.
[The Lion Guard and Makini continue walking]
Fuli: 
Uh, Makini. Forget something?
Makini: 
No, I don't think so. I... (Gasps) My staff... Thanks, Fuli. [Makini goes back to the log and sees her staff missing] I was sure I put it on this log. Where could it be?
Mama Binturong:
(Sniffs) Hmm, Tuliza! (Soft chuckles) (Chewing) Good boys. (Sniffs) Now, back to the hideout.
[Mama Binturong and the porcupines leave]
Kion: 
You sure you put it on the log?
Makini: 
Yes. It was right here.
Anga: 
Guys, look, tracks.
Fuli: 
Porcupine tracks. The tracks end here. (Sniffing) And I can't smell anything but Bunga.
Bunga: 
You're welcome.
Beshte: 
You're really think some porcupine stole Makini's staff?
Kion: 
Maybe. Anga, see if you can spot porcupines with Makini's staff.
Anga: 
Yup. [Anga goes to look for porcupines]
Makini: 
Oh, I'm so sorry, Kion. My staff had the rest of our Tuliza. And, nobody here will help us find Tuliza! But, what if you need some more? And, my staff makes the moja kwa moja stone paintings come to life, too! But, I think the only place I can find a new bakora staff is in the Pride Lands. (Gasps) We'll never find the Tree of Life now!
Beshte: 
Makini, shwari.
Makini: 
Oh, yeah. Thanks, Beshte. (Sighs) Shwari.
Anga:
[Anga lands] What'd I miss? 
Kion: 
Nothing much, Any sign of the staff thieves?
Anga: 
Nope. Too many trees and plants to see much of anything to see from the sky.
Kion: 
What do you think, Fuli?
Fuli: 
Uh, well, we do need Makini's staff to get our way to the Tree of Life.
Beshte: 
We could ask the animals who live here. Maybe they know who took it.
Fuli: 
You mean, the animals that run away every time we talk to them?
Beshte: 
Only when we mention Tuliza. They might help us find a missing staff.
Kion: 
Good idea, Beshte. Let's go ask around.
Anga: 
[Anga sees a gibbon] Maybe this guy can help us.
Beshte: 
Hey, there, Mr. Gibbon.
Seisou: 
Oh, uh, hello, again.
Beshte: 
My friend Makini lost her staff. Maybe you've seen it?
Seisou: 
A staff? What's that?
Beshte: 
It's a stick, with a couple of gourds hanging on it.
Seisou: 
Uh, why would somebody hang gourds on a stick?
Bunga: 
That's where we keep our Tuliza.
Seisou: 
Tuliza! (Yells) [Seisou runs away and climbs a tree]
Fuli: 
Bunga.
Bunga: 
Don't worry, I got this. Zuka Zama. [Bunga climbs a tree and follows the gibbon] Hey, gibbon, I didn't mean to say "tuliza." It's not about the tuliza. 
Seisou: 
No, no, no. No, no, no. no. no no!
Bunga: 
Forget I said "tuliza."
Seisou: 
(Yells) [Seisou runs away]
Fuli: 
Bunga!
All: 
Stop saying "tuliza"!
Bunga: 
Guys, you're not supposed to say "tuliza," remember? Oops, I said "tuliza." Oops, I said it again. [Bunga goes after Seisou]
Seisou: 
Go away!
Bunga: 
Forget the other thing I said. We're just looking for the stick.
Anga: 
[Anga sneaks behind Seisou] Look.
Seisou: 
(Yells) 
Anga: 
We just wanna talk.
Seisou: 
Fine. You got me. But I don't know anything about anything. You, uh... You should talk to the mongoose. 
Bunga: and Anga: 
The Mongoose?
(Suspenseful music plays)
[The scene cuts to another part of the Forest]
Anga: 
This is where he said the mongoose lives.
Bambun: 
Who said that? Who says I live here? 
Kion: 
A gibbon said you could help us. We're looking for a missing staff.
Bambun: 
Not me. I can't help ya. But I know a guy who might. A civet,  He'll talk to you.
[The scene cuts to another part of the Forest]
Anga: 
The mongoose sent me.
Tompok: 
(Yells) Not you again!
Beshte: 
Easy, little fella. We just wanna talk to you, about a uh, lost stick.
Tompok: 
Lost stick? Hmm. I know a guy, a mouse deer.
Makini: 
A mouse?
Bunga: 
Why'd you call me dear?
Tompok: 
No, a mouse deer. He's the guy you should talk you.
(Suspenseful music playing)
[The scene cuts to another part of the Forest]
Mouse Deer: 
You need answers. I got answers.
Bunga: 
[Bunga points at the Mouse Deer] Oh! I get it now. A mouse deer.
Mouse Deer: 
It's not polite to point. The guy you need to talk to about the stick, lives in the cave, right over there.
Kion: 
Great. Thanks.
[The scene cuts to Seisou's cave]
Bunga: 
Hey, you! We see you there.  Are you the guy who knows who took our staff?
Seisou: 
[Seisou pops out] Uh, yeah, that's me.
All: 
You!
Kion: 
Why didn't you just talk to us before?
Seisou: 
'Cause this is the only place I know that her porcupines aren't listening. I don't want her to know I'm helping you.
Makini: 
"Her?" Her, who?
Seisou: 
(Softly) Mama Binturong.
Bunga: 
Mama been there what?
Seisou: 
Mama Binturong. She controls all the... (Whispering) Tuliza in the forest.
Ono: 
So that's why everyone's scared when we mention tuliza.
Seisou: 
Yes. Everyone's scared of Mama Bintruong. She's so mean, nobody even wants to say "tuliza," in case it makes her mad. She's very mean when she's mad. Yeah, if she catches anyone with tuliza, she sends her porcupine after them.
Fuli: 
That explains the porcupine tracks.
Makini: 
And why they took my staff! There was still tuliza in the gourd.
Kion: 
So how do we find this Mama Binturong?
Seisou: 
Her hideout is deep in the Stone Forest. But, uh, you'll never reach it. 
Kion: 
Why's that?
Seisou: 
The Stone Forest is almost impossible to get through.  Only Mama Binturong and her porcupines can get through it safely.
Fuli: 
Well, we're the Lion Guard. (Scoffs) We can do anything. 
[The scene cuts to Stone Forest]
Fuli:
Okay, maybe not anything. What do you think, Kion?
Kion: 
I think we have to get through these. [Kion tries to fit through the stones but can't] (Grunts) Careful, these rocks are sharp.
Ono: 
Maybe Beshte can get through. Hippos have very thick skin. Common knowledge, really.
Beshte: 
[Beshte looks at the stones] I'd be lucky if I could get a toe between those rocks.
Ono: 
Hapana, they are so close together I don't know if I would fit.
Kion: 
Anga, maybe you can get through from above?
Anga: 
I'll see. [Anga tries to get her talons in the stones but struggles] (Grunts) Nope. Not gonna fit. [Anga sees Tuliza] Hmm, tuliza. Lots of tuliza. [Anga lands] I can't get through the rocks. But, I'm pretty sure I found  Mama Binturong's hide out.
Kion: 
That'd be good news if anybody could get to it.
Ono: 
So, we need someone who's not bothered by sharp rocks or porcupine quills, and can carry Makini's staff back here. There's only one choice!
Bunga: 
[Bunga rubs his back agaisnt the rocks] (Grunts excitedly) Oh, that feels good. Oh, yeah, that's the spot.
Fuli: 
You think he can handle it? 
Kion: 
Of course, he can. Right, Bunga?
Bunga: 
Uh-huh. Of course, I can do it. Uh, do what?
Fuli:
Go through the Stone Forest to Mama Binturong's hideout, and get Makini's staff back, all by yourself.
Bunga: 
Yes! You're right.  I can totally do it. Show me the way.
Anga: 
Straight through there. You'll see Mama's hideout when you get close. There's lots of tuliza.
Bunga: 
Go straight, look for tuliza. Got it! Zuka Zama!
Makini: 
Good luck, Bunga!
(Upbeat music playing)
Bunga: 
(Grunting) [Bunga jumps over stones] (Laughing) Woah! (Effort grunts)  (Grunts)  Yeah! Hmm, which way do I go? (Echoing)  Don't ask me.  (Echoing)  Hey, that's my voice (Echoing) . Zuka Zama (Echoing) . Bunga, shh! (Echoing) Okay. (Echoing) (Grunts) Yup! Woah! "A-ha. Tuliza. That's gotta be Mama's hideout. (Sighs) That's a long way down. This is gonna be fun! Zuka Zama! [Bunga jumps and lands perfect] Prefect Landing. All right porky-orcupines let's do this! Huh? Where is everybody? Hello, I'm here. Anbody here? Hey-hey look at that. This is gonna be easier than I thought.
Mama Binturong: 
[Off-Screen] Welcome, Mr.  Bunga.  We've been expecting you.
Bunga: 
Uh? Who said that?
Mama Binturong: 
[Mama Binturong walks up to Bunga] I did.
Bunga: 
A-hah! You're Mama Binturong.
Mama Binturong: 
That's right.
Bunga: 
Hey, wait, how'd you know my name?
Mama Binturong: 
It's been echoing all over the Stone Forest.
Bunga: 
Oh, yep. All right, Mama. Just give me that staff back. Or, we'll have trouble.
Mama Binturong: 
I have a better idea. Why don't you go back where you came from, and I keep the staff. 
Bunga: 
Why would I do that?
Mama Binturong: 
Because around here, everyone does what Mama says.
Bunga: 
Well, I'm not from around here! So we can do this the easy way, or we can do it the hard way.
Mama Binturong: 
I choose the hard way. Or the sharp way. Porcupines!
(Dramatic music playing)
[The porcupines come out]
Mama Binturong: 
Go on, boys, you know what to do. 
Bunga: 
What is it?
Mama Binturong: 
Oh, I expect you'll soon see my point, Mr. Bunga.
(Quills emerging)
Bunga: 
Hah! You expect me to be scared of this, Mama.
Mama Binturong: 
No, Mr. Bunga, I expect you to be poked! (Laughing manically)
Bunga: 
[Bunga doesn't feel the pain] (Chuckles) That tickles. Zuka Zama. [Bunga jumps] 
(All grunt)
Bunga:
(Laughs)
[The porcupines touch each other]
Smun:
(Grunting) 
Porcupines: 
(Grunts)
Bunga: 
Zuka Zama!
Porcupines: 
(Thundding) (All groaning)
Bunga: 
You're gonna need more than porcupines to beat me! Now, hand over that staff!
Mama Binturong: 
Come and get it.
Bunga: 
All right, you asked for it. [Bunga climbs the Tuliza pile] (Grunting) (Panting) Made it! Whoo! (Pants) Just give me a second.
Mama Binturong: 
I don't think so. [Mama Binturong knocks Bunga down]
Bunga: 
(Yells) Oh, no, you don't! [Bunga climbs the Tuliza pile] I'm here to get my friend's staff... (Grunts) and I'm not... (Grunts) leaving...  (Grunts) without it. Now, give me that staff!
Mama Binturong: 
Never! (Laughs)
Bunga: 
(Grunts)
Mama Binturong: 
(Laughs)
Bunga: 
Okay, fine. If you're not gonna give me that staff, I'm gonna eat all your tuliza.
Mama Binturong: 
Don't you dare touch my beautiful tuliza.
Bunga: 
(Munching) [Bunga eats tuliza]
Mama Binturong: 
(Growls)
Bunga: 
(Swallows) Ugh, this is gross.  I don't know how Kion does it.
Mama Binturong: 
No! Get your filthy paws off my tuliza!
Bunga: 
(Laughing) [Bunga grabs the staff]
Bunga: and Mama Binturong: 
(Both grunting)
Bunga: 
(Yells)
Mama Binturong: 
(Laughs) Silly honey badger, did you really think you could get away with eating my tuliza?
Bunga: 
Silly Binturong, [Bunga holds the staff up] missing something?
Mama Binturong: 
Oh! You might have the staff, but you're not going anywhere.
[The porcupines walk out again]
Bunga: 
Pfft! You guys, again!
Mama Binturong: 
You see, Mr. Bunga, there's no way out. (Laughing)
Bunga: 
That's what you think. (Breaks wind) [Bunga farts]
Mama Binturong: 
(Coughing)
Bunga: 
Think I'll take some tuliza to go. [Bunga puts tuliza in the gourd]
(All Coughing)
Bunga: 
You lose, Mama Binturong! [Bunga leaves]
(Triumphnt music)
Bunga: 
Un-Bunga-liveable.
Mama Binturong: 
(Coughs) Which way did he...
(Tense music playing)
(Petals rustling) [The tuliza gets ruined]
Mama Binturong: 
(Screams) My tuliza! It's ruined!
Smun: 
We'll get more tuliza.
Mama Binturong: 
No! I'm through with tuliza and this whole forest! There's just one thing I want now. I want to get that Bunga! [Mama Binturong leaves the Stone Forest]
Smun: 
The forest won't be the same without her.
[The scene cuts back to the rest of the Lion Guard and Makini]
Bunga: 
Somebody lose a staff?
Makini: 
(Gasps) You got it! Yay! And you filled it with tuliza.
Bunga: 
That's right!
Makini: 
(Sniffs) Ew!
Kion: 
Great job, Bunga. Now let's go find that next moja kwa moja stone.
Bunga: 
You'll never guess how I got away.
Fuli: 
(Soft chuckles) You used your stink, right?
Bunga: 
You know my secret weapon?
Fuli: 
Not that big of a secret, Bunga.
(All Laughing)
[The Lion Guard and Makini continues on their way]
