Ono and the Egg/Transcript

(The Lion Guard is seen walking in Mizimu Grove)
Ono:
All quiet in Mizimu Grove, Kion!
Kion:
Thanks, Ono. Let's check out Hakuna Matata Falls, then we can head to...
(Rumbling)
Kion:
(Gasps) You guys hear that?
Fuli:
It sounds like... A stampede?
Ono:
(Ono uses his vision and spots the trouble) Everyone, everyone! It's a stampede, all right. A stampede of hyraxes!
(Hyraxes are seen running)
Hyraxes:
(Squeaking)
Beshte:
Aww, It's a stampede of cuteness.
Kion:
I wonder what's got them so upset.
(Ono uses his vision and spots a Hawk)
Ono:
That's what!
(Mpishi chases after the hyraxes)
Mpishi:
(Screeches)
Ono:
It's a harrier hawk! And it looks like she's hunting those hyraxes!
Kion:
She can't hunt here. This isn't hawk territory.
Fuli:
Yeah. But does she know that?
Mpishi:
(Screeches)
Hyraxes:
(Squeaking)
Ono:
I've got this! (Ono goes after the hawk)
Kion:
Lion Guard, let's go!
(The Lion Guard follows the hawk)
Kulinda:
(Kulinda is seen getting her nest ready) You just wait, my little itsy-bitsyboo! This will be the best nest in the whole...(Mpishi passes by Kulinda's nest) Oh! A hawk? Here in the Pride Lands? Gracious... Oh! (Ono passes by Kulinda's nest) That was Ono of the Lion Guard! Did you see him? No, I guess you didn't. Go, Ono, go!
(Pim squeaking)
Mpishi:
I am so excited to eat you! I've never had tree hyrax before!
Ono:
Hey you! Hawk! Put down that hyrax!
Mpishi:
Sorry, young egret. This hyrax is my small bite. Not enough to share!
Ono:
I don't want to share it, I want to save it! (Ono pulls Mpishi's feathers)
Mpishi:
(Exclaims in pain) (Mpishi faces so she can see Ono) That hurt! Why'd you do that?
Ono:
So you'd stop looking where you're going.
Mpishi:
Stop looking where I'm... (Mpishi bumps into a tree)
(The hyrax falls out of Mpihsi's talents)
Ono:
I'm coming, little hyrax! (Ono goes after the hyrax)
Pim:
(Squeaking)
Ono:
(Ono catches the hyrax but finds out he's too heavy) Gotcha! (Grunting) You're heavier than you look!
Beshte:
It's okay, Ono! You can let him go. I'll catch him!
Ono:
(Grunting) Oh, good.
Pim:
(Squeaking)
(Ono and Pim land on Beshte)
Ono:
(Sighs) Thanks, Beshte. (Groans)
Beshte:
Happy to help!
(Kion, Fuli and Bunga go up to Mpishi)
Kion:
What are you doing here, hawk? The Pride Lands aren't your hunting grounds.
Mpishi:
But the Pride Lands are filled with delicacies you can't find anywhere else! Can you blame me for wanting to try new foods?
Fuli:
Mmm. It is good to try new food... (Kion gives Fuli a weird look) Uh, but you still can't hunt here.
Kion:
That's right. The reason there are so many different animals in the Pride Lands is because we all respect the Circle of Life. I hope you'll do the same, and return to your own territory.
Mpishi:
Fine. I'll go home. (Mpishi flys away) After I sample at least one tasty Pride Lands treat!
Kion:
Great job, Ono. We couldn't have stopped that hawk without you.
Pim:
(Squeaks) (Pim hugs Ono)
Ono:
Aw, thanks. Just doing my duty.
Kulinda:
(Kulinda watches from her nest) That Ono is a true hero. Which makes him the perfect bird to watch you while I build us a new nest. With hawks around here, this place will never do! (Kulinda flys away)
(The Lion Guard walks Ono to his nest)
Ono:
Thanks for walking me back to my nest.
Kion:
You did a great job today, Ono. But now you should rest. Okay?
Ono:
Affirmative. See you guys later!
Kion:
Bye, Ono!
Fuli:
See ya!
Beshte:
Take it easy!
(The rest of the Lion Guard leave and Ono tries to lay in his nest but falls off an egg)
Ono:
(Sighs Happily) Huh? "Hapana!"
(The rest of the guard turns around)
Kion:
Ono?
Ono:
(Ono spots an egg in his nest) There's an egg in my nest!
Bunga:
Would ya look at that? Ono's gonna be a mom!
Beshte:
Oh, I don't think that can be right, Bunga.
Bunga:
(Chuckles) Oh, yeah. Ono's gonna be a dad!
Ono:
I'm not going to be a mom or a dad! This isn't my egg!
Kion:
Any idea whose egg it is?
Ono:
Hmm... (Ono looks at the egg) Judging by the speckles and the size, I'd say it belongs to a hamerkop.
Fuli:
But why would a hammerkop leave its egg in your nest?
Ono:
I don't know. Hamerkops are usually excellent parents.
Kion:
Then there has to be a good reason. We need to find the mother hamerkop and make sure everything is okay.
Ono:
Affirmative! Let's go!
(Ono starts to leave to go find the hamerkop)
Beshte:
Uh, Ono? You think the egg will be okay up there by itself?
Ono:
(Ono stops) "Hapana." I better check. (Ono checks out the egg) Huh, not a lo of hollow space... The baby's getting big inside.
Beshte:
Does that mean it's close to hatching?
Ono:
Yes. It will need someone to sit on it to keep it warm until the baby bird's ready to be born.
Bunga:
(Bunga climbs the tree) I'll do it! I'm great at babysitting! "Zuka za..." (Bunga tries to jump on the egg but Ono stops him)
Ono:
Bunga! You can't just jump on the egg! You'll break it!
(Bunga looks at the egg)
Bunga:
Huh. You sure?
Ono:
I'll stay with the egg. But please bring back its mom soon. Okay?
Fuli:
It shouldn't be hard to track her. (Fuli smells out for the hamerkop) (Sniffs) Ah, the scent's still strong. What do you think, Kion?
(Kion sniffs for the hamerkop)
Kion:
(Sniffs) Yep. Got it. We'll be back before you know it. Let's go!
(Bunga climbs down the tree)
Bunga:
Have fun sitting on that egg, Ono!
(The rest of the lion guard leaves to find the hamerkop)
Ono:
So. Let's figure out precisely what you need. My bottom's not as large as a mama hamerkops, so we'll need to maximize warmth. There, the perfect approximation of hamerkop egg-sitting! Hmm. I hope no one sees me like this. (Ono sits on the egg to keep it warm)
(The scene transitions and the wind whistles)
(The rain storm starts)
(Lighting Crashes)
(Kulinda is seen flying in the rain)
Kulinda:
(Leafs fly out of Kulinda's talents) Oh! Fiddle leaf figs! There go my sticks! Oh, well. Plenty more where those came from!
(The Lion Guard is seen walking in the rain and Bunga gets hit by a stick)
Bunga:
Hey! Who's throwing sticks at me?
Beshte:
No one, Little B. It's just the rainstorm.
Fuli:
(Sniffs) Wait. (Sniffs) The hammerkop mom is this way.
(Rumbling)
Kion:
Uh-oh. I know that sound... (Kion spots a mudslide) Mudslide! And those hares are right in its path! C'mon! (The Lion Guard goes to stop the mudslide)
(Mpishi is seen flying in the rain)
Mpishi:
Now, what yummy tidbit can I taste before I head home?
Masikio:
Mudslide! Mudslide!
(The hares go hide from the mudslide)
Mpishi:
Ooh! Red rock hares! Such a delicacy. Nobody should notice if one of them just happens to go missing during a mudslide. (Cries) (Mpishi goes after the hares)
Hares:
(Chittering)
(Mpishi spots the Lion Guard)
Mpishi:
The Lion Guard? Again? But if they're here, then they're not watching the rest of the Pride Lands! Tasty treats, here I come! (Mpishi flys away)
(One of the hares walks up to the Lion Guard)
Fuli:
Are you okay?
Masikio's Sister:
I am, but the others ran into the aardvark dens to hide! The mud's headed right for them!
Beshte:
(Gasps) It could bury them inside!
Kion:
Then we have to get them out. C'mon. Till the Pride Lands end...
All:
Lion Guard defend! (The Lion Guard goes to help the hares)
(The scene transitions and Ono is seen sitting in his nest)
Ono:
Hmm. I think my tail feathers fell asleep.(Groans)
(Crackling)
(The egg starts to hatch)
Ono:
(Gasps) 'Hapana!" You're hatching! Oh. What a cute little bird!
Baby Hamerkop:
(Squwaks)
Ono:
Okay, maybe not so little. Uh, hello there, baby hamerkop!
Baby Hamerkop:
(Tweets)
(Baby Hamerkop dances)
Ono:
What are you doing? Oh! Of course. You're doing the Hamerkop Family Dance. That way we'll be bonded as a family... Wait! Baby hamerkop, you don't understand. I'm not your family! Really! This is all a case of mistaken identity! My friends have gone to get your mom! (Baby Hamerkop continues dancing) (Groans) And I hope they find her soon.
(The Lion Guard is seen helping the hares)
Beshte:
"Twende Kiboko!" Okay, guys! Get 'em out!
Bunga:
Hey hairy-airy-airs! You can't be in there! The mud's coming! Everybody out!
Masikio:
It's too scary out there! Can't you just let us hide?
Bunga:
No can do. I gotta get you outta there. One way... Or another! (Farts)
(All coughing)
Masikio:
Oh, I say!
Kion:
Is everybody out?
(Masikio notices her sister missing)
Masikio:
(Gasps) Where's my sister?
Kion:
I'll get her.
(Kion goes after the hare)
Fuli:
Kion?!
(Everyone watches as Kion goes into the mud and Bunga put his arm on his chest)
(Kion comes out with the hare and brings it to everyone)
(Cheering)
Beshte:
You okay, Kion?
Kion:
(Panting) Sure. Wouldn't want to do that again, though. Now, let's go find that hamerkop!
(The scene transitions and Ono is seen with the baby Hamerkop)
Ono:
So...Uh...What do we do while we wait for your mom?
Baby Hamerkop:
(Tweets) (Baby Hamerkop chases an insect)
Ono:
(Sighs) (ONo notices the hamerkio is missing) (Gasps) "Hapana!" (Grunting) You're as heavy as a hyrax! Hold on! We can land on a nice, soft... Thorn bush? (Grunting) Ow. Huh, wait! Come back! (Grunting) Baby bird? Don't move, little bird. I'm coming to get you. (Ono goes after the baby Hamerkop)
(The scene transitions and Kion and Fuli sniff for the mother Hamerkop)
Kion:
(Sniffs) We're close. The scent's getting stronger.
Fuli:
(Sniffs) Much stronger. (Fuli spots the mother Hamerkop's nest) Maybe 'cause we've found her nest.
Bunga:
That's not a nest. It's a mountain in a tree!
Beshte:
Think the mama hammerkops inside?
Bunga:
One way to find out! (Bunga climbs the tree)
Kion:
Bunga, wait!
Bunga:
Hello? Anyone home? (Bunga goes inside the nest) Whoa! This place is un-Bunga-lievable! I bet even Beshte could fit in here! What a nest! (Gasps) (Bunga spots the grubs) And it's got grubs! (Crunching) I could get used to this place.
(Kulinda appears)
Kulinda:
Well, don't! 'Cause it's already taken!
Beshte:
Oh! Hey Kulinda! I didn't know it was your egg in Ono's nest.
Kulinda:
Yep!
Kion:
I don't get it. If you already have such a great nest, why'd you leave your egg with Ono?
Kulinda: You think this just happens? My nest wasn't ready yet! (Kulinda finishes building her nes) There. Now it's perfect!I needed a safe place to keep my little wudgie-cakes while I built this nest! But now I can't wait to bring my egg back home. There's nothing wrong with my egg, is there? Is that why you came? Because something's wrong?
Fuli:
No. Everything's fine.
Beshte:
We just came to get you and walk you back to your egg!
Kulinda:
Oh, what a relief! Thank you, I'd love the company.
Kion:
Then, let's go! (Kion looks for Bunga) Uh, Bunga?
Bunga:
Coming! Snack for the road.
(The Lion Guard and Kulinda walk towards Ono's nest)
Kulinda:
I do hope Ono didn't mind too terribly watching my egg.
Beshte:
You kidding? Ono's the best.
Bunga:
Yep! I bet he and that little eggy are all cuddled up warm and snug right now.
(Ono is seen chasing baby Hamerkop)
Ono: (Groaning)
Baby Hamerkop:
(Tweeting)
Ono: Finally.
"Hapana!" What were you doing? Do you have any idea how dangerous that is?
(Baby Hamerkop almost falls down a river)
Baby Hamerkop:
(Tweets)
Ono:
That river's moving way too fast. And you can't swim! You can't even fly! Not only that, there's a waterfall down there! I did not sit on your egg till it hatched just to watch you get hurt! Now, we're going back to my nest to wait for your mom and that's final. You understand?
Baby Hamerkop:
(Tweets) (Baby Hamerkop yawns)
Ono:
(Sighs) Great. Now, you're tired. Okay. Fine. We'll stay here a minute and rest. But in the tall grass, where it's safer.
Baby Hamerkop:
(Cooing) (Baby Hamerkop snuggles next to Ono)
Ono:
Uh... That's okay. You can lean on me if you want. (Chuckles) You know, you're kinda cute when you're not getting into trouble. Sleep tight, baby hamerkop.
(Mpishi is seen flying above Ono's nest and Mwoga follows her)
Mpishi:
Nothing here... (Mpishi sees Mwoga) Hmm. (Mpishi turns around and sees Mwoga) You following me, vulture?
Mwoga:
(Exclaims) Oh! Why, uh, yes. Yes, I was! (CLEARS THROAT) You're a hawk, you know. And where there's a hawk, there's bound to be some food to pick over!
Mpishi:
True. We hawks are quite the hunters!
Mwoga:
With an eye for delicious meals, if I might say so. Oh, I'm Mwoga, by the way.
Mpishi:
Hello, Mwoga. I'm Mpishi.
Mwoga:
So Mpishi, what're you doin' 'ere in the Pride Lands? This ain't your territory.
Mpishi:
I've tried all the food in my territory. I thought I'd come here and try something new. But every time I try to grab a succulent bite around here, the Lion Guard's there to stop me.
Mwoga:
The Lion Guard? Oi, if they're on your tail, you're outta luck.
Mpishi:
Maybe I just need a little help outwitting the Lion Guard. What do you say? Wouldn't you like a fresh meal?
Mwoga:
Fresh? Bleagh! This beak only touches Grade-A carrion!
Mpishi:
Carrion? Leftovers? You call that a meal?
Mwoga:
Well, yeah. Tender. Tasty. (Slurps) And it never tries to run away!
Mpishi:
Maybe, but a truly great meal is fresh!
(Music starts)
(Mpishi and Mwoga fly in the air)
¶ Nothing is more thrilling than catching your own food
(The scene transitions to various color and Mpishi watches the animal conga line)
¶ But you gotta eat it right away and that's my attitude
(Mpishi eats the animal conga line)
¶ 'Cause there's no doubt about it
¶ Fresh food is the best
(Mpishi sees the leftovers and smacks it away)
¶ If it's been left out for days
¶ Then give it to the rest
(Mpishi and Mwoga are seen flying)
¶ Yeah, I'm just telling you how I feel
¶ That's what I call a real, real meal
(Snakes are seen and Mpishi flys over them)
¶ A real meal fills your belly with delight
(Mpishi lands on a tree and tries to eat a bat but they fly away)
¶ You know it right away All it takes is one bite
(Mpishi dances with the hyraxes)
¶ That's a real meal
¶ A real meal
¶ Yes, it's real, real, real, so real
(Mpishi and Mwoga fly in the air)
Mwoga:
¶ Not to say you're crazy
¶ But you're out of your bird brain
(A bunch of carrions are seen in a conga line and Mwoga watches)
¶ Leftover food like carrion
¶ It's all I'd ever take
(Mwoga eats the carrion conga line)
¶ So what if there's some rot And some tiny, buzzing flies?
(Mwoga flys over the sun)
¶ Food that's sitting in the sun is what I call a prize
(Mwoga is seen surrounded by carrions)
¶ I'm just telling you how I feel
(Mpishi and Mwoga fly in the air
¶ That's what I call a real, real meal
Mpishi and Mwoga:
¶ A real meal fills your belly with delight
¶ You know it right away
(Mpishi and Mwoga fly over a huge hyrax)
'Cause all it takes is one bite
(Mpishi and Mowga dance)
¶ That's a real meal
¶ A real meal
(Mpishi and Mwoga dance)
¶ Yes, it's real, real,real, so real
(The scene transitions back to normal colors)
(Mpishi and Mwoga fly in the air)
¶ That's a real meal
¶ Real meal
(Mpishi flys around Mwoga)
¶ Yes, it's real, real,real, so real ¶
(Music ends)
Mpishi:
How about this? You help me, and I will let you have all the scraps you can eat.
Mwoga:
All the scraps I can eat? I might 'ave to talk to the committee 'bout it...
Mpishi:
Now or never, Mwoga.
Mwoga:
Mpishi, you got yourself a deal!
(The scene transitions and the Lion Guard walk Kulinda to Ono's nest)
Kion:
I bet Ono will be happy to see you!
Kulinda:
Yes. And I can't wait to see my eggie-pie! Here comes Mommy! (Kulinda notices her egg hatched) (Gasps) My egg!
Kion:
Is it gone?
Kulinda:
No! It hatched!
Bunga:
(Bunga climbs the tree) You sure there was a baby inside?
Kulinda:
Yes! And it's gone! (Crying)
(Baby Hamerkop hears her mother and goes to her)
Baby Hamerkop(Chirping)
Ono:
(Ono notices baby Hamerkop missing) (Gasps) "Hapana!"
Kulinda:
There you are! My little one! I'd know you anywhere!
(Both Tweeting and they both dance)
(Ono comes out)
Ono:
Where's my baby?
(The rest of the Lion Guard is shocked at Ono)
Fuli:
Uh, what'd you call it?
Ono:
Uh... The baby. Her baby. Your baby.
(Both tweeting and dancing)
Ono:
Aww, that's nice. She really is your baby.
Kulinda:
Oh, Ono, thank you so much for watching her. I knew you'd be perfect for the job!
Ono:
It was nothing, really. Though I did learn something new.
Beshte:
What's that, Ono?
Ono:
Baby hamerkops love chasing insects! (Baby Hamerkop chases an insect) So no matter what, you always have to keep an eye on 'em! Should be common knowledge, really. Stop watching her for one second and she's gone! Isn't that right, little...
(Everyone sees that the Baby Hamerkop is gone)
Kulinda:
(Gasps) My baby! Where is she?
Ono:
Oh, where'd you go this time? (Ono spots baby Hamerkop) She's at the river! We need to hurry!
Fuli:
On it! (Fuli tries catch baby Hamerkop but misses) I missed her.
Kion:
Not your fault. C'mon!
(Everyone goes after baby Hamerkop)
Kulinda:
The river's too fast! We can't catch up!
(Mpishi catches baby Hamerkop)
Mpishi:
(Screeches)
Ono:
"Hapana!"
Kulinda:
No!
Mpishi:
Mmm-mmm! Hamerkop!
Bunga:
Whoa. Didn't see that comin'.
Kion:
It's that hawk again! We'll follow them and see what we can do!
(The rest of the Lion Guard follow the hawk on the ground)
Ono:
Let the baby hamerkop go!
Mpishi:
And leave the Pride Lands without trying at least one of its specialties? I don't think so!
Ono:
You're not getting away that easy! Drop the hammerkop, hawk!
Mpishi:
Well, if you insist.
(Mpishi throws baby Hamerkop)
Baby Hamerkop:
(Tweets)
Ono:
No!
(Mwoga catches baby Hamerkop)
Mwoga:
Surprise!
Ono:
Mwoga? Come back here!
Fuli:
Ugh! I feel so helpless down here. We have to do something!
Kion:
Wish we could, Fuli. But Ono's the only one of us that can fly.
Bunga:
Wait. I've got an idea! (Bunga climbs on a tree and hops on Mowga's back) "Zuka Zama!"
(Bunga tries to grab the baby and Mwoga throws baby Hamerkop to Mpishi)
Mwoga:
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
Mpishi:
Toodle-oo! It's munchy-time!
Kulinda:
No hawk's going to take my baby!
Ono:
Kulinda, wait! We need to work together! Listen, I have an idea.
Mwoga:
The baby's gone! All right? Now, get off!
Bunga:
Sure! See ya! (Bunga jumps off of Mowga)
Mwoga:
(Vocalizes) (Groans) (The rest of the guard surrounds Mwoga) Um... Off to the Outlands then?
Kion:
Good idea, Mwoga. Get outta here.
Mpishi:
I am so looking forward to having you for a snack! Hamerkop is very rare where I come...
(Kulinda and Ono go after Mpishi from both sides)
Kulinda:
(Sharks).
Mpishi:
(Yells)
(Kulinda knocks Mpishi out and catches baby Hamerkop)
Baby Hamerkop:
(Chirping)
Ono:
Nice catch.
Kulinda:
Nice plan.
Ono:
(Ono goes up to the hawk) For the last time, hawk, leave the Pride Lands! Now!
Mpishi:
I hear you. Fine. I won't hunt in the Pride Lands anymore. No dish is worth this aggravation.(Mpishi flys away)
Ono:
Good.
(Everyone goes back to the rest of the Lion Guard)
Beshte:
Kulinda. We're so glad you and your baby are back together again.
Kulinda:
Well, we wouldn't be if it weren't for all of you. Especially you, Ono. And that's why I want to thank you with something special. I want to name my baby after you. (Ono smiles)
Bunga:
Two Onos? Won't that be confusing?
Kulinda:
No. The baby's a girl, so I'm naming her "Ona."
Ona:
(Chirping)
Ono:
(Chuckles) Hey...She likes it! I'm gonna miss you, Ona. But I promise I'll visit, okay?
Kulinda:
You're welcome anytime. But we consider you family now, so when you do visit, you know what you have to do.
Ono:
(Sighs) Okay. I'll give it a try.
(Kulinda, Ono and Ona do a dance)
(All Chirping)
(The rest of the Lion Guard watch them dance)
(All exclaim)
Beshte:
Aw. That's nice.
(Mpishi, Ono and Ona continue dancing)
