The Race to Tuliza/Transcript

[Everyone is seen walking in the desert]
Bunga: 
(Sighs)
Kion:
[Kion looks at the sun] Ugh! Mm. (Groans)  [Kion falls] Whoa!
Fuli: 
Kion!
Makini: 
Here, let me help you.
Kion: 
I don't need help. I'm fine. [Kion gets up] Let's just keep walking.
Fuli: 
Looks like Kion could use some Tuliza.
Kion: 
What? I said I'm fine!
Bunga: 
See? He's fine.
Fuli: 
Makini?
Makini: 
Tuliza, coming up. [Makini sees she has no more Tuliza] Oh.
Fuli: 
Don't tell me...
Makini: 
I really need to do a better job keeping track of our Tuliza.
Anga: 
Out of Tuliza again?
(Makini nods)
Anga: 
I'll find some. [Anga goes to look for Tuliza]
Fuli: 
Let's just hope Kion doesn't decide to roar before we get more Tuliza.
Ono: 
The journey through the desert has been hard on everyone.
Beshte: 
At least nobody's too thirsty.
Bunga: 
Thirsty? Water! Water! I'm so thirsty!
Beshte: 
Uh, except maybe Bunga.
Bunga: 
It's like there's a whole desert inside my mouth. (Pulls out his tongue) See? Dry as a sand dune.
Fuli:
Ugh. Put that thing away.
Bunga: 
(still with a tongue) Kion. Kion. Wanna thee?!
Kion: 
(Growls) Bunga!
Bunga:
[Bunga falls down] Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa! Sorry!
Fuli: 
Kion, calm down. Bunga was just fooling around.
Beshte: 
Yeah, it was just Bunga being Bunga.
Kion: 
Sorry, everybody. Sorry, Bunga.
Bunga: 
Hakuna Matata. I am pretty good at being annoying.
Kion: 
Yeah. Come on. Let's keep going.
Fuli: 
(Sighs) Come on, Anga. Find us some Tuliza.
Anga: 
Tuliza... Tuliza... Tuliza... Yes!
Fuli: 
Anga! Find any Tuliza?
Anga: 
[Anga lands] Yep. But it's really far away.
Fuli: 
How far?
Anga: 
Very. Way past the sea up ahead.
Bunga: 
A sea? You say you saw a sea? Big B! She saw a sea!
Beshte: 
Yeah, Little B. I heard her. 
Bunga: 
But a sea means water. And water means... Water! [Bunga goes towards the water]
Fuli: 
Bunga!
Kion: 
Guess we better go after him.
[The scene cuts towards 
Bunga: 
Woah! Anga was right! It's a sea!
Anga: 
Like I said.
Beshte: 
Poa! Look at all that...
Bunga: 
[Bunga goes closer in the water] Water!
Ono: 
Bunga, wait! Don't drink it!
Bunga: 
(Slurps and spits)
Ono: 
It might be salty,
Bunga: 
This water is salty! Blegh! I gotta get this taste outta my mouth! Ble-ugh! This rock tastes gross. Why would I lick a strange rock? I need water! (SPITS) Oh, right. Salty.
Kion: 
Well, if we can't drink the water, we should move on. I need Tuliza. 
Fuli: 
You think Kion could make it to the Tuliza?
Anga: 
Doubt it. It's still pretty far away.
Bunga: 
Sorry the Bunga sea turned out to be so salty. 
Ono: 
The Bunga Sea?
Bunga: 
Sure! I was the first one in, so I get to name it.
Makini: 
(Gasps) Oh, wait! I just remembered something! Rafiki says that really salty water can be very relaxing. But, you don't drink it, you soak in it. Come on, Kion. Just try it, please?
Ono: 
Makini's right. Salty water should help soothe your scar. I should have thought of that.
Kion: 
Okay. I'll give it a try. [Kion steps in the water] (Sighs) 
Makini: 
Well? How do you feel?
Kion: 
(Exhales) You know what? You're right. I do feel better Mmm.
(All sigh in relief)
Bunga: 
The Great Bunga Sea is a-mazing!
Fuli: 
Now it's the "Great" Bunga Sea?
(Water bubbling)
Kion: 
Uh, guys? Something's happening. Woah! [Kion turns on his back] Check it out! I'm floating!
Ono:
Makes sense. The saltier the water is, the easier it is to float.
Beshte: 
Poa!
Kion: 
Aah. This feels great.
Bunga: 
The Great Bunga Sea is super amazing!
Fuli: 
Ugh!
Bunga: 
Come on, Big B! The Great Bunga Sea's a-watin'!  Don't you wanna try it?
Beshte: 
I sure do.
Bunga: 
Last one in is an elephant egg!
Ono: 
Um, elephants don't lay... eggs! (Squawks) [Ono flys off of Beshte]
Beshte:
Twende Kiboko! [Beshte jumps in the water]
(All laughing)
Beshte: 
Come on, everyone! The water's poa!
Bunga: 
Or do you wanna be elephant eggs?
Makini: 
Not me! [Makini jumps into the water]
Ono: 
Hmm. I usually just wade. But it might be relaxing. Oh. Strange. But... nice!
Bunga: 
Woah! This water won't let you sink! Seriously, Fuli, this is water even you would like!
Fuli: 
Thanks, but no thanks. Besides, somebody's got to get that Tuliza for Kion.
Anga: 
Yep.
Fuli: 
No. I'll go. I'm the fastest. You're the keenest of sight. I need you to stay here and watch for danger.
Bunga: 
Come on! What could happen at the Great Bunga Sea?
Fuli: 
Well, Kion could float away.
[Kion is seen floating away]
Bunga: 
Zuka Zama! [Bunga goes after Kion] Wow! Kion, you really are relaxed!
Kion: 
Aah.
Fuli:
So, how do I get to the Tuliza?
Anga: 
It's under the tree. On top of that mesa. Just beyond the rock formations? It's the only tree around!
Fuli: 
Only tree around. I think I can find it. Huwezi!
(Chorus vocalizing) 
Bunga: 
Now that's what I call relaxed.
[Fuli runs around in the canyons]
Fuli: 
Ah! Feels so good to really run again!
(Chorus continues vocalizing)
Fuli: 
(Gasps) [Fuli hits a dead end] Whoops. Huh. Spoke to soon. Ah. This is better. Argh! Seriously? Ugh. These canyons all look the same! And now I can't see the mesa or the tree!
Azaad: 
[Off-screen] Well, well. Looks like we have a lost cheetah.
Fuli: 
Who's there?
[The scene cuts back to the rest of the Lion Guard at the sea]
Beshte: 
Mmm. This is nice.
Ono: 
Indeed. I could get used to this if we didn't need to get to the Tree of Life.
Bunga: 
The Tree of Who?
Anga: 
The Tree of Life. Don't forget we've got a mission.
Kion: 
Yeah. [Kion stretches] But this is the best I've felt in days. So peaceful.
Anga: 
Yeah, it is peaceful. Wait a second. [Anga's eyes flash and sees pink flamingos] What's that? Uh-oh. Guys! Fethers! Beaks! Pink!
Beshte: 
Huh?
Anga: 
Flamingos!
[A group of flamingos fly in the sea]
(Flamingos Squawking)
Kion: 
Guys? What's going on?
Anga: 
Um... This is not good.
[The scene cuts back to Fuli in the canyon]
Fuli: 
Who are you? Show yourself?
Azaad: 
Orders? [Azaad pops out] (Laughs) You are in position to give orders.
Fuli: 
Oh, you're a cheetah.
Azaad: 
(Scoffs) There is no fooling you! (Chuckles)  My name is Azaad. And you are in my territory! This is a problem. These canyons are not big enough for two cheetahs.
Fuli: 
If you want to leave, it's fine by me.
Azaad: 
You invade my territory. My territory! And then you make jokes?
Fuli: 
Listen, I'm sorry I stepped into your precious territory. But my friends need help. And I-
Azaad: 
Friend? Ha! We are cheetahs. We hunt alone. A cheetah does not have... friends.
Fuli: 
Well, I do. I have lots of friends. And one of them needs Tuliza. I know there's  some under the tree on the mesa. But I'm lost.
Azaad: 
Hmph. 
Fuli: 
Just show me how to get there. Please?
Azaad: 
Hmm. You seem to care very much for these friends.
Fuli: 
Well, yeah, I care. Friends help friends. That's what friends do.
Azaad: 
Even though you have friends, it is clear that you have the flame in your heart. [Inspiring music plays] The flame... of a cheetah!
Fuli: 
'Scuse me, but... Huh?
Azaad: 
You shall have my help. But if only you can beat me in a race!
Fuli:
A race? Hah. Okay. You're on.
[The scene cuts back to the sea]
(All squawking raucously)
Ono: 
What's going on? What's all this... pink?
Beshte: 
It's a whole lotta flamingos.
Bunga: 
More flamingos than you could shake a snake at.
Anga: 
Makini. Keep Kion away from these... birds.
Makini: 
Oh, yeah. Good idea, Anga!
Kion: 
What's going on?
Makini: 
Shh. Nothing, Kion. Shwari. Just close your eyes.
Kion: 
Okay, but.
Makini: 
[Makini covers Kion's eyes with a leaf] It's, it's all gonna be okay. Just think happy lion thoughts.
Kion: 
Happy lion thoughts?
(Squawking continues)
Beshte:
What are they doing here? Kion's not gonna able to relax with them around.
Anga: 
Yeah, But we have to keep him calm till Fuli comes back with the Tuliza.
Ono: 
Leave this to me. I'll have a bird-to-bird chat with them. [Ono goes to talk to the flamingos] Excuse me! Flamingos? Pink birds! Might I have a word?
Girl Flamingo #1: 
Hey! Look at the cute little birdy!
Girl Flamingo #2: 
What? Aw! He's so cute!
Ono: 
Uh, cute?
[The flamingos hover around Ono]
(Both woop and coo)
Ono: 
So, uh...  What brings you here?
Girl Flamingo #1: 
Well, duh! We're on migration.
Both: 
Migration! Whoo-hoo!
Girl Flamingo #1: 
And every year, we stop here. At Flamingo Beach!
Both: 
Flamingo Beach!
Bunga: 
Uh-uh! You mean the Great Bunga Sea.
Ono: 
Listen. Any chance you could keep the noise level down a bit?
Girl Flamingo #2: 
Keep the noise level down?
Girl Flamingo #1: 
And ruin the best Flamingo dance party of the whole feathered year?
Ono: 
(Gasps) Flamingo Dance Party!
Bunga: 
[Bunga jumps] Flamingo Dance Party!
Both: 
Flamingo Dance Party!
Flamingos: 
Whoo!
(Dance music plays)
[The flamingos dance]
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
One leg up, one leg down
[Makini moves Kion away from the flamingos] 
Now it's time to move around,
Flap those feathers, lots of pink
Dance and dance, no need to think.
[The flamingos do their dance]
Wing salute
Point beak
Head, flap
Flap, repeat
Wing salute
Point beak
Head, flap
Flap, repeat
[Bunga dances with the flamingos]
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
Yeah, we're having lots of fun
'Cause we're on a migration
[Flamingos are seen eating shrimp]
Shrimp or algae? One of each
Party hardy, Flamingo Beach
[The flamingos do their dance]
Wing salute
Point beak
Head, flap
Flap, repeat
Wing salute
Point beak
Head, flap
Flap, repeat
[The flamingos continue dancing]
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
[Bunga dance like the flamingos while Ono covers his ears]
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
[Makini pushes Kion along with Beshte and Anga]
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
[Music stops
Flamingos: 
FLAMINGO DANCE PARTY!
(Flamingos cheering and whooping)
[Anga picks up Ono and puts him on Beshte's pack]
Beshte: 
You okay, Ono?
Ono: 
I'll be fine.
(Flamingos whooping)
Kion:
(Groans)
Makini: 
Don't pay any attention, Kion. It's all gonna be all right.
Ono: 
Oh! But if these birds don't get tired of partying. It's just a matter of time before Kion loses his cool.
[The scene cuts to another part of the canyon and Fuli and Azaad begin to race]
Azaad: 
Do you see that rock? Out there?
Fuli: 
I see it.
Azaad: 
We race to this rock. Along this path. Do you agree?
Fuli: 
Why don't we just race to the Tuliza?
Azaad: 
Ah! Clever girl. But you will never see the Tuliza unless you show me the fire in your heart. You must beat me in this race.
Fuli: 
That's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Azaad: 
Good. You show the fire already. But it is Azaad who shall win.
Fuli: 
Cheetahs don't talk. They run.
Azaad: 
As you wish. On your marks. Get set. Run!
[Azaad and Fuli start racing]
Fuli: 
(Panting) Huwezi! (Laughs) Not bad. No one back in the Pride Lands could give me a decent race. It's almost too bad you're gonna lose.
Azaad: 
(Laughs) You are fast. But this is the land of Azaad. And in the land of Azaad, even one as swift as you is destined to lose. Mibinamet!
Fuli: 
(Panting)
(Chorus vocalzing)
Fuli: 
Almost there. Woah! Ahh!
Azaad: 
You must watch your step! Mibinamet! [Azaad leaps over a rock and wins] (Laughs mockingly) Azaad is victorious. Not that there was ever any doubt.
Fuli: 
That wasn't fair! You knew the trail dropped off back there! 
Azaad: 
Of course! This is my territory! Thank you for an enjoyable race. Too bad for your "friend." The fire in you're heart was not enough to lead you to victory. Alas. Now you will never find the Tuliza he needs. Oof.
Fuli: 
[Fuli grabs Azaad's tail] So race me again. Surely a cheetah with the "fire in his heart" would not be afarid of another race.
Azaad: 
You challenge Azaad?!
Fuli: 
I do.
Azaad: 
Very well. A rematch. But first...let go of my tail.
[The scene cuts back to the sea and the flamingos continue dancing]
(Dance music playing)
Beshte: 
Quiet, please!
Ono: 
Keep it down.
(Flamingos squawking mockingly)
Anga: 
(Cawing)
Girl Flamingo #2: 
Hey! Cool dance!
Girl Flamingo #1: 
Yeah, way cool!
Anga: 
No, it's not a dance, it's...
(Both imitate Anga's cawing)
Girl Flamingo #2: 
Woah!
Anga: 
Ugh!
[The scene cuts back to Azaad and Fuli at the canyon]
Azaad: 
Now you shall see what true cheetah speed looks like. And then you will know how it feels to b-
Fuli: 
I'm kind of in a hurry. Mind keeping you're speech short this time?
Azaad: 
(Laughs) Yes. As you have said, "Cheetahs don't talk. They run" On your marks. Get set. Run!
Fuli: 
Huwezi!
Azaad: 
Mibinamet!
(Chorus Vocalzing)
Azaad: 
[Azaad watches Fuli race] She is too fast. She has the cheetah's fire. But Azaad cannot lose in his own territory. Must... Take... the shortcut! Mibinamet! [Azaad tries to jump but fails and hangs on a cliff] (Grunts) Aah!
Fuli: 
[Fuli turns around] Azaad?
Azaad: 
(Grunting) 
Fuli:
Azaad! Gotcha. [Fuli hangs onto Azaad]
Azaad: 
Fuli? You have come back?
Fuli: 
Less talking. More climbing.
(Both sigh)
Azaad: 
Why?
Fuli: 
Why what?
Azaad: 
Why did you come back?
Fuli: 
Uh... You're welcome?
Azaad: 
Thank you. But still... you could have won the race. You could have beaten Azaad.
Fuli: 
Friends help friends.
Azaad: 
And Azaad has a friend now?
Fuli: 
First time for everything, I guess.
(Both laughing)
Azaad: 
You are a most remarkable cheetah, Fuli. Azaad would be very happy to have you as a friend. Now let us find the Tuliza that you need. Then we can take it to your friends, together.
Fuli: 
You're on! Want to make it a race?
[The scene cuts back to sea and the flamingo dance party]
(Dance music playing)
Ono: 
Beshte. All I can see are pink blurs. I'm guessing this means that we haven't managed to break up the Flamingo Dance Party.
Beshte: 
Affirmative.
(Flamingos whooping)
Anga: 
(Sigh) This is not going well.
Bunga: 
[Off-screen] (Screaming)
Makini: 
That's Bunga!
Ono: 
Sounds like he's in trouble.
Beshte: 
We're coming, Little B!
Bunga: 
Woo-hoo! [Bunga is being carried by a bunch of flamingos]
Beshte:
Are you okay?
Bunga: 
Yeah! This is Un-Bunga-liveable!
Ono: 
Bunga! We're trying to stop the party!
Anga: 
Before Kion loses his cool?
Bunga: 
Oh, yeah. Right. Where is Kion, anyways?
Makini: 
He's right here with me. [Makini notices Kion is gone] At least he was.
[The scene cuts to Kion sleeping and flamingos watch him]
Kion: 
(Snoring)
Flamingo Girl #1: 
Looks soft and cute!
Flamingo Girl #2: 
Oh, it's so furry!
Kion: 
(Grunts)
Flamingo Girl #2: 
(Gasps)  It makes noises! Everybody, you gotta come try this!
(Flamingos squawking excitedly)
Kion: 
[Off-screen] (Yelps)
Ono: 
That doesn't sound good.
Anga: 
Come on!
Kion: 
Hey! Get away! [Kion shoos the birds away] Leave me alone!
(Thunder rumbling)
[Everyone runs up to Kion]
Beshte: 
Uh-oh! We're too late!
Makini: 
Kion, calm down!
Ono: 
Kion! No!
Kion: 
(Growls) That's enough! I'm warning you flamingos. Take off now, or I'll send you flying!
Flamingo Girl #1: 
Like, what? Send of flying?
Flamingo Girl #2: 
You can't fly. You don't even have wings.
Kion: 
(Growls)
Beshte: 
No, Kion! Don't roar!
Bunga: 
Easy, buddy! Calm down!
Makini: 
The Tuliza's on it's way!
Anga: 
In fact, here it comes! Kion! [Anga's uses her vision and zooms in on Fuli and Azaad] Fuli's back. She's got the Tuliza! And... she's got a friend.
Bunga:
A friend? You sure it's Fuli?
Anga: 
Fuli! We need that Tuliza! Now!
[Fuli steps into the water and Azaad follows her]
Makini: 
Perfect timing! [Makini gives Kion tuliza] Here Kion!
Kion: 
[Kion eats the Tuliza] (Moans) (sigh) Thanks, Makini.
Fuli: 
Um... what's with the flamingos?
Bunga: 
What's with the cheetah?
Azaad: 
You may call me Azaad. And Fuli may call me her friend.
Bunga:
Then you may call me Bunga! And you may call this the Great Bunga Sea!
Makini: 
Feel better?
Kion: 
(Exhales) A lot better. Sorry, flamingos I didn't mean to scare you.
Flamingo Girl #1: 
Oh, no worries.
Flamingo Girl #2: 
It's totally fine.
Makini: 
There's enough tuliza here to last us for days! Thank you, Fuli.
Fuli: 
Thank you, Azaad.
Kion: 
We should get back on the path to the Tree of Life. Leave these flamingos in peace.
(Squawking happily)
[The Lion Guard and Makini start to leave]
Anga: 
If you want to call it peace. Coming, Fuli?
Fuli: 
Yeah. So I should go. With my friends.
Azaad: 
Yes. They are lucky to have a friend like you. And Azaad is lucky to have such a friend as well. It is my hope that one day, we will meet again.
Fuli: 
Yeah. That would be... nice.
Azaad: 
Until then... on your mark.
Fuli: 
Get set.
Azaad: and Fuli:
Run!
[Azaad and Fuli have one more race and Azaad heads home]
Azaad: 
Mibinamet!
Fuli: 
(Sighs) Bye, Azaad. [Fuli goes back with her friends]
