The unexpected friendship ch. 2 (Dutch06)

Dutch: So… where ARE you from? 
Nala: Oh, it’s not important. Besides, I may never go back…
Dutch: Ah, come on… do you really think I care about this place? (Looks around) It’s not exactly as pretty as some other places.
Nala: Well, at least you have food and water.
Dutch: It ain’t much, but it’s something, and also… what do you mean “at least”? 
Nala: Ugh, fine. If you really are interested in knowing, the Pride Lands were overtaken by… let’s say a deranged family member, and he turned everything, uh, upside-down.
Dutch: Woof. If I ever had to live like that, my head would always be rushing.
(Nala raises an eyebrow, frowning)
Dutch: Oh. Right. Well, we are coming up on the Canyons of Shame.
Nala: Canyons of what…?
Dutch: Unfortunate name…? Well, you’d be correct. If you remember when I said this wouldn’t be a walk in the park, I actually did mean it.
Nala: I still don’t quite believe you won’t kill us both… maybe we should head back-
Dutch: Look, I didn’t decide to help you because I felt like it. If you don’t want my help, it was nice knowing you, but if you do, I promise that I can show you where and how even if you won’t like it.
Nala: Then I guess we have no choice.
(They both stare at each other, with clenched teeth.)
Dutch: Ok… if you ARE ready to proceed, then we have to be extremely careful on that ledge, because if you fall into that river, you may never come back up. Understand?
Nala: Yes. I do. 
(They both make their way down the ledge, Nala stares at the water below, concerned.)
Dutch: Something bugging you? You seem… concerned.
Nala: Oh. Well, no… it’s just- LOOK OUT!
Dutch: Vultures! Hang on, try to keep balan-
(They both slip from the cliff edge as they fall into the river below.)
