Journey of Memories/Transcript

Makini: 
[Makini brings the painting on the Moja Kwa Moja Stone to life[ Look, the Tree of Life. This is the next Moja Kwa Moja stone all right. 
Kion: 
Then we're still on the right path to the Tree of Life. 
Bunga: 
But that painting shows a river. You call this a river? 
Ono: 
It might've been a big river at some point. The landscapes can change overtime or with the seasons. 
Kion: 
Just like the dry season back home. Ono, what's the next landmark?
Ono: 
Nawaza. [Ono's eyes flash as he looks at the map] It's a pool of water with rocks all around it.
Kion: 
Anga?
Anga: 
Yep. [Anga goes to find the next Moja Kwa Moja stone]
Makini: 
Oh! I remember this river now. I was here with my mom and dad when I was little. On my first trip to the Tree of Life. It had a lot more water back then.
Fuli: 
Well, [Fuli leaps over a river] any river I can hop across has enough water for me.
Beshte: 
So, Makini, was Rafiki here with you too?
Makini: 
Nope. My mom and dad were taking me to the Tree of Life to meet Rafiki. We had so much fun! 
[Makini remembers a flashback from when she was little] 
Little Makini: 
Ooh! Cold! Cold! Cold
Kintendo: 
[Kitendo comes out of the water] (Grunts) (Shivering)  You're right, Makini! This water is freezing!
Little Makini: 
(Laughs) Dad!
Fikiri: 
Oh, Kitendo,  my love. (Chuckles) You know the saying. "Test the water before diving in." (Chuckles) But then again... "If you want to take a bath, you should not be afraid to get cold."
Kitendo: 
As usually you are right, Fikiri. But my way is more fun!
(All Laugh)
[The scene goes back to present day and Makini spins in water]
Makini: 
(Laughs)
Fuli:
Makini! [Fuli is seen all wet]
Makini: 
Oops. Sorry, Fuli.
Bunga: 
Zuka Zama! [Bunga jumps into the water]
Makini: 
Careful, Bunga! You know the saying. "Test the water before diving in!"
Bunga: 
(Scoffs) Where's the fun in that?
Makini: 
(Chuckles) You sound like my dad.
[Anga comes back to the Lion Guard]
Beshte: 
Hey, Anga! Did you find the next Moja Kwa Moja stone?
Anga: 
I found a rocky pool with small boulders. But it's dry.
Makini: 
Oh. That doesn't seem right. The pool I remember had lots of water. And the boulders were huge!
Anga: 
It matches Ono's description. It's just... drier.
Ono: 
Well, if this river has less water, it makes sense that the pool would be dry, too.
Makini: 
Wait! I remember those trees! There's a waterfall down there! It's amazing!
Anga: 
Uh, that's the opposite direction of the pool.
Makini: 
But it's so beautiful! Can we go, Kion? Please?
Kion: 
Well, I guess a little detour out of our way would be okay. Lead on, Makini!
Makini: 
(Whooping) Uh, right around this corner. (Gasps) We're here! This is it! Or was it? 
Ono: 
Um, am I just not seeing it?
Makini: 
Well, it used to be here. Water was pouring down this rock. (Gasps) Oh, look! See?
Fuli: 
I wouldn't call that pouring.
Makini: 
Look! One of Rafiki's paintings. This wasn't here last time. I wonder if it's a Moja Kwa Moja stone. Nope. No Tree of Life.
Beshte: 
But, now we know this used to be a waterfall. Maybe Rafiki saw the waterfall on his trip to the Tree of Life and painted it just because it was poa.
Ono: 
That makes sense. He paints things all the time in the Pride Lands.
Anga: 
So, the next Moja Kwa Moja stone is this way.
Kion: 
Let's go, everyone.
[Everyone starts walking but Makini and Beshte]
Beshte: 
Did you see the waterfall with your mom and dad too?
Makini: 
Yeah! I saw so many amazing on our trip to the Tree of Life! Oh! I remember something really fun down that way! Come on!
Kion: 
Makini? Where are you going now?
Makini: 
See this rock?  It has a big hole near the bottom that you can stick your arm through!
Bunga: 
I wanna try! I wanna try! So, where's the hole? Think I can stick my head in it?
Makini: 
[Makini sees the rock with no hole] I don't see it. I was sure this was the rock. But maybe it's not.
Kion: 
Sorry, Makini, but we have to keep moving.
Bunga: 
(Groans) Lousy rock with no hole! Ow!
Makini: 
Okay. So maybe that wasn't the right rock. (Gasps) But there is something really amazing right over there!
Fuli: 
Seriously?
Kion: 
So, what are we looking at?
Makini: 
That mountain right there! The one that looks like a monkey's face!
Anga: 
Don't see it.
Makini: 
Hmm... We might have to get lower. And tilt our heads a little.
[Everyone but Anga gets lower and lean their heads]
Fuli: 
It doesn't look like anything at all. Can we go now?
Anga: 
Good idea.
Kion: 
Sorry, Makini. Maybe you were remembering a different mountain.
[The scene cuts to the pool where the next Moja kwa Moja Stone is]
Anga: 
Here we are. Finally.
Makini: 
Yes! This is it! And it looks just like I remember it. Except there's no water. And I thought the boulders were bigger.
Fuli: 
Maybe you were smaller?
Makini: 
Oh, yeah.
Ono: 
This painting matches what I saw on Rafiki's map. Makini?
Makini: 
[Makini brings the painting to life] Yep. That's a Moja Kwa Moja stone.
Kion: 
Ono, what's next?
Ono: 
Nawaza. [Ono's eyes flash and he looks at the map] The next landmark is four white flowers in a shape of a diamond. They're in a field of smaller white flowers.
Kion: 
Anga?
Anga: 
Yep. Anga Lenga! [Anga takes off to find the next landmark]
Makini: 
I don't remember any white flowers, but I do remember a really amazing...
All: 
No!
[Makini looks sad]
Kion: 
Sorry, Makini. But no more detours. We need to keep moving.
Makini: 
(Sighs)
Beshte:
[Beshte walks up to Makini] Don't be sad, Makini. Your detours are really fun.
Makini: 
Thanks, Beshte. I had a lot of fun with my mom and dad the last time I was here. In fact, this is where they first told me I might be a Royal Mjuzi.
Beshte: 
Really? Poa.
Makini: 
Yeah. It was poa.
[Makini remembers another flashback of her and her parents]
Fikiri: 
Time to go, Makini!
Little Makini: 
[Little Makini runs] (Laughs)
Kitendo:
Makini, wrong way!
Fikiri: 
Rafiki should make paintings that mark the way to the Tree of Life.
Little Makini: 
(Laughing)
Kitendo: 
[Kitendo picks up Makini and spins her] Woah! Woah, woah, woah! (SIGHS) Well, that way does look more fun, doesn't it?
Little Makini: 
(Laughs) Yeah!
Fikiri: 
But this is the way we must go to get to the Tree of Life.
Little Makini: 
Why?
Fikiri: 
Because Rafiki would like to meet you.
Little Makini: 
Why?
Fikiri: 
Rafiki is a Royal Mjuzi. And he beleives that you may also grow up to be a Royal Mjuzi. But only the voices of the past at the Tree of Life will let him know for sure.
Little Makini: 
Oh! But... But why me?
Kitendo: 
Because you're wise, like your mother. 
Fikiri: 
Or because you're curious like and fun, like your father. But mainly because you are you.
Little Makini: 
(Giggles)
Kitendo: 
But no matter what, you'll always be our Makini.
Fikiri: 
And we'll always be with you. Until you're ready to go out on your own.
[The scene goes back to present day and Anga returns]
Kion: 
Anga! Did you find the white flowers?
Anga: 
Nope.
Kion: 
Great! Then let's... Wait, what?
Anga: 
No sign of white flowers. Or anywhere flowers would grow.
Fuli: 
So, what did you see?
Anga: 
Desert straight ahead.
Makini: 
Oh! I remember the desert! We have to cross. And head toward the cliffs.
Anga: 
I didn't see any cliffs.
Ono: 
There aren't any cliffs in Rafiki's painting either. Just the field of flowers. But the river, waterfall, and the pool are all dried up. Maybe there used to be flowers here when there was water. 
Makini: 
I don't remember flowers. But I definitely remember the desert. We walked all the way across it until we reached the cliffs.
Fuli: 
Kion, Makini's memories haven't exactly been reliable so far.
Kion: 
I know. But if we can't find the next Moja Kwa Moja stone, we can't find the Tree of Life.
Beshte: 
Makini is the only one of us who's been to the Tree of Life before. Isn't that why Rafiki sent her with us?
Kion: 
Okay, Makini. Lead the way!
Makini: 
Yes! Okay everybody, follow me!
[The scene cuts to the desert and Beshte is very hot From the sun]
Beshte: 
(Sighs in exasperation)
Ono: 
Beshte, are you okay?
Beshte: 
Yeah, I guess.
Ono: 
Hapana! Beshte! You're starting to get sunburned!
Kion: 
What? Everyone, stop! We've gotta find Beshte some shade!
Ono: 
Kion's right. Hippos don't do well in the sun!
Anga: 
There's no shade anywhere. Nothing but sand. [Anga flies in front of Beshte]
Beshte: 
Ooh! That's better. 
Kion: 
Hey, that's a great idea! Anga! Can you keep flying above Beshte so he's in your shadow?
Anga: 
I guess.
Beshte: 
Thanks, Anga.
Anga: 
No problem.
[The scene cuts to another part of the desert and Makini, Bunga and Ono are sitting on Beshte]
Kion: 
Makini, you're sure we're going the right way?
Makini: 
I'm sure! Straight across the desert toward the cliffs!
Kion: 
Guys, I know it's cooler in the shade, but Beshte might feel better if you weren't riding on his back.
Anga:
Everyone, look out!
(Wind blowing)
[A giant sand storm comes and Anga covers everyone]
Fuli: 
(Spits and groans)
Beshte: 
(Exhales) Thanks, Anga.
Ono: 
Indeed. And thanks for the lift, Beshte.
Makini: 
Yeah. Thanks, Beshte.
[Makini, Ono and Bunga get off of Beshte]
(Loud thump)
Fuli: 
Uh, what was that?
(Loud thump)
Kion: 
There it is again.
Bunga: 
Woah! Let me try. (Thumping) (Laughs) Whatever it is, it's un-Bunga-lievable!
Ono: 
Hmm. This must be a booming sand dune. I've heard of them, but never actually heard them.
Bunga: 
Well, wait 'till you hear this! (Loud thumping continues) [Bunga jumps around]
Makini: 
Oh! I remember this, too. (Thumping continues) My mom and dad and I had so much fun here! [Makini jumps and gets sand on Kion]
Kion: 
(Groans) Makini. [Makini stops jumping Is this why you brought us out here? Because you thought it would be fun?
Makini: 
What? No, Kion...
Kion:
We don't have time for any more of your detours!
Fuli: 
Kion, Makini never said this was a detour.
Kion: 
(Groans)
Fuli: 
You sure you're okay? Maybe you should have some tuliza.
Kion: 
(Groans) I don't need tuliza!
Beshte: 
Kion...
Kion: 
I... I'm sorry. I'm hot, tired, thirsty, and covered with sand. But that's no excuse. I shoudn't have yelled.
Bunga:
So... If we're all good again, let's have some more fun! (Loud thumping) [Bunga jumps around]
Kion: 
Bunga!
Tupp: 
[Tupp comes out from hiding] Can't you keep it down out here? How can a fella get any sleep with all this stomping going on up here? (Thumpig)
Bunga: 
Aw! You're so tiny! And so mad!
Tupp: 
You better believe I'm mad!
Ono: 
You're a jerboa, aren't you?
Tupp: 
Of course, I'm a jerboa! And like any decent desert creature, I was asleep!
Makini: 
In the middle of the day?
Tupp: 
Of course, in the middle of the day! Nobody travels around the dunes in the full sun! What kind of ridiculous... [Tupp kicks sand at Kion]
Kion:
(Growls)
Tupp: 
(Yelps) Never mind! Have a good day!
Kion: 
I didn't mean to scare him.
Bunga:
With that face, you could almost scare me. Almost.
Kion: 
Sorry, everybody. But this isn't working. We're going back.
Fuli: 
You sure?
Kion: 
Yes. We'll go back to the last Moja Kwa Moja stone, and start over. There's no field of flowers here.
Makini: 
But I'm sure we're going the right way. It can't be that much father.
Kion: 
We'll follow our footprints back across the desert and start again.
(Wind blowing)
[Another giant sand storm comes]
Kion: 
Woah! Heyvi Kabisa!
Beshte: 
Everybody! Hide behind us! Hurry!
[Beshte and Anga blocks everyone and the sand storm stops]
Ono: 
(Yelps)
Anga: 
Ugh!
Fuli: 
(Sighs) That's never gonna get old...
Bunga: 
I know, right?
Kion: 
Come on. Let's head back to the...Where did our footprints go? Anga, do you see them?
Anga: 
Nope.
Ono: 
Hapana. Our footprints must have been swept away by the sand storm.
Kion: 
(Sniffing) Fuli, can you make our scent? Which way did we come from?
Fuli: 
(Sniffing) (Sighs) I can't tell, Kion. The wind blew the sand and our scent all over the place.
kion: 
Well, which dunes did we pass?
Anga: 
The dunes all look different than before the storm.
Ono: 
The dunes must have shifted.  Sand dunes can shift in the wind. Common knowledge, real... 
Kion: 
Then how are we gonna know which way to go? (Growls) 
Makini: 
Uh, Kion... Maybe you could use some Tuliza?
Kion: 
[Kion tries Tuliza but spits it out] (Spits) I can’t eat that Makini! It’s covered in sand.
Makini: 
Oh. Sorry, Kion.
Kion: 
We don't know where we are or which way to go. But we can't stay out here in the sun. Especially Beshte.
Ono: 
You're right, Kion!
Kion: 
What?
Ono: 
It’s like the jerboa said. Most desert animals don’t… they shelter during the day and only come out at night. We can dig a burrow in the sand.
Fuli: 
Oh! So maybe we can make a shelter.
Ono: 
Indeed! We could dig a burrow under the sand! That's what jerboas do.
Bunga: 
Burrow? Stand aside, Ono! Nobody digs like a honey badger digs! [Bunga starts digging]
Kion: 
Here. Let me help. [Kion starts digging]
[The scene cuts to night time and the Lion Guard are sleeping while Makini thinks]
Makini: 
[Makini draws a picture of Fikiri in the sand] (Sighs) I know that I was here with you, Mom. But my friends think we might be going the wrong way.  I wish I can run back to the Pride Lands and ask you for help. What would you say? Maybe.. "As you move foward... "
[Makini remembers another flashback]
Fikiri: 
"Don't forget to look back."
Little Makini: 
[Little Makini turns around and falls] Like this? Whoa...
Kitendo: 
Makini!
Fikiri: 
I meant when we look back at where we've been, we can learn. Even from our mistakes.
Little Makini: 
Oh.
Kitendo: 
(Whoops and laughs) Come on, you two. Let's keep going. I always say, "it's more fun to step forward than it is to sit still."
Fikiri: 
That is good advice, Kitendo. 
Kitendo: 
Wait, what? I gave good advice? (Laughs) [Kitendo jumps] (Loud thump)  Hey, listen to that. (Thumping)
Fikiri: 
I never thought a step forward could make so much noise. (Chuckles)  [Fikiri hugs Little Makini]
[Music Starts]
[Fikri throws Little Makini in the air and hugs her]
Fikiri:
¶ Your life is a journey
[Fikiri puts Little Makini on the ground]
¶ And you learn as you grow
[Little Makini looks at Kitendo]
Kitendo:
¶ So don't let worries stop you
¶ You're unsure of where to go
[Little Makini walks with Fikiri and Kitendo over a path]
¶ Just one step is a good way to start
Fikiri:
¶ If it's right, you'll know in your heart
Kitendo:
¶ Once you've found you're on the right track
[Fikiri and Kitendo shows Little Makini stop at the edge and jumps down]
Fikiri:
¶ As you move forward
Fikiri:
¶ As you move forward
Both:
¶ As you move forward
[Fikiri and Kitndo show Little Makinithe view]
¶ Don't forget to look back
[Kitendo swings on a vine]
Kitendo:
¶ So when you hit a problem
¶ It won't be the first or last
[Fikiri climbs a rock and Little Makini is on her back]
Fikiri:
¶ Your life will be what you make it
¶ With help from what's in your past
[Kitendo, Fikiri and Little Makini jump from rock to rock]
Kitendo:
¶ Just one step is a good way to start
Fikiri:
¶ If it's right, you'll know in your heart
[Kitendo shows Little Makini the woods]
Kitendo:
¶ Once you've found you're on the right track
[Kitendo, Fikiri and Little Makini walk past Azaad's canyon to the forest]
Fikiri:
¶ As you move forward
Kitendo:
¶ As you move forward
[Little Makini is seen on Kitendo and Fikir's shoulders]
Both:
¶ As you move forward
¶ Don't forget to look back
[Little Makini climbs a rock up to Fikiri]
Kitendo:
¶ Every time you try something new
¶ (Try something new)
[Little Makinireaches the top of the rock]
Fikiri:
¶ Just believe in what you can do
¶ (What you can do)
Both:
¶ No one else can do that for you
[Kitendo, Fikiri and Little Makini stand on top of the rock and look at Flamingo Beach] 
Fikiri:
¶ When you've succeeded
Both:
¶ You'll know it's true
[Kitendo, Fikiri Little Makini walk over a log]
¶ Just one step is a good way to start
[Little Makini swings on a vine and lands in Kitendo's hands]
¶ If it's right, you'll know in your heart
¶ Once you've found you're on the right track
Fikiri:
¶ As you move forward
Kitendo:
¶ As you move forward
[Little Makini arrives and the Tree of Life and meets Rafiki and Queen Janna]
Both:
¶ As you move forward
¶ Don't forget to look back
Kitendo:
¶ Don't forget to look back
Fikiri:
¶ Don't forget to look back
Kitendo:
¶ Don't forget to look back
Both:
¶ Don't forget to look back
[Little Makini's parents hug her]
[Music ends]
Fikiri: 
So, Makini, "As you move forward..."
[The scene goes back to present day]
Makini: 
"Don't forget to look back."
Beshte: 
[Beshte walks up to Makini] Hey, Makini. You okay?
Makini: 
My mom says, "As you move forward, don't forget to look back." But when I do look back, I'm not remembering things right. I feel like I'm letting Kion down.
Beshte: 
You know what my dad always says. "The water is always cleaner at the front of the hippo." You gotta leave those mistakes behind you. We all know you're doing your best. The last time you were here. you were real little. A lot of things have changed since then. 
[Everyone else walks up to Makini]
Kion: 
Beshte's right. It's not your fault everything's so dry now everything's so dry here. So, now that it's night, we can get going again.. If we knew which way to go.
Makini: 
Well, it's more fun to step forward than it is to sit still. Let's go this way!
(Loud thump)
Kion: 
Did anybody take a step?
Bunga: 
Nope.
Ono: 
Negative.
Fuli: 
Not me.
Makini: 
No.
(Thumping continues)
Kion: 
Someone's coming.
Tupp: 
[Tupp walks up to the lion Guard but starts to run away] Oh, no. Not you again!
Kion: 
Wait! I'm sorry I scared you before. I'm Kion. And this is the Lion Guard. We're just passing through.
Tupp: 
Well, then, apology accepted. Name's Tupp. And let me apologize for being rude. I'm not really a morning person. I see you took my advice about getting out of the sun. Smart. You look much more comfortable.  But you also look thirsty. Follow me, my friends!
(Thumping continues)
[The scene cuts to a plant and the Lion Guard and Makini stands around it]
Tupp: 
I don't drink much water myself, but travelers coming through are always looking for water. Here.
Bunga: 
Uh, that's not water, little guy.
Tupp: 
Well, no, it's a plant.  But its leaves can collect water. See? Plenty for everyone.
Makini: 
Here, Kion. [Makini gives Kion tuliza after she cleans it]
Kion: 
(Chomping) [Kion eats tuliza] Mmm, mmm, mmm. (Exhales deeply) Thanks, Makini.
Anga: 
I didn't see this plant before. It must have been covered with sand. How did you know it was here?
Tupp: 
Well it's a plant. It doesn't exactly move. 
Anga: 
But how did you find it? There aren't any landmarks in this desert. And the dunes keep moving.
Tupp: 
Here, in the desert we don't look down to find our way. We look up! At the sky!
(All exclaim)
[Everyone looks at the stars in the sky]
Makini: 
It's so pretty! It looks like a field of flowers. Oh, that's it! That's the filed of flowers!
Ono: 
Of course! They're not flowers on Rafiki's map. They're stars!
Makini: 
Look! Four bright stars in a shape of a diamond!
Tupp: 
Ah, yes. Those stars are always in the same place in the sky. spinning around in a circle.
Kion: 
Do you know where they lead?
Tupp: 
(Laughs) Of course! They always lead there. Across the desert to the tall cliffs.
Kion: And Fuli: 
The cliffs?
Anga: 
Anga?
Anga: 
Got it. [Anga flies up and sees the next landmark] The moja kwa moja stone is on top of the cliffs!
Kion: 
You were right all along, Makini. Sorry we didn't believe you.
Makini: 
It's okay, Kion.
Kion: 
Thanks, Tupp. We can find our way from here.
[The scene cuts to another part of the desert and everyone walks towards the cliffs]
Makini: 
Oh, oh! And I know an amazing detour on our way back to the Pride Lands. We can go see my mom and dad, and tell them all about our trip.
Beshte: 
That sounds poa.
