The Golden Zebra/Transcript

[The Lion Guard, giraffes and buffalos are at the Watering Hole]
Shingo: 
We were here first.
Male Buffalo: 
No, we were.
Kion: 
Everyone please, stay calm. You all get water but you need to wait your turn.
Vurga Vuruga: 
But what if there's nothing left by the time we get our turn? I've never seen the water this low. What will we do when it runs out?
Male Buffalo: 
What will we do?
Shingo: 
We all need water.
Kion: 
I... I don't know. But don't worry, I'm sure the King has a plan.
[The scene transitions to the Liar of the Lion Guard and Simba and Rafiki are seen looking at paintings] 
Simba: 
Surely, I'm not the first King of the Pride Lands to face a water shortage, Rafiki? Did any of the earlier 
kings find a solution?
Rafiki: 
If they did, the paintings of the past do not have many clues. [Rafiki brings the painting to life]
Simba: 
Interesting. I'm not familiar with that watering hole. Do you know where it is?
Rafiki: 
Well, I do know it is not in the Pride Lands.
Makini:
Ooh, I've seen a watering hole that looks like that.
Simba: 
You have?
Makini:
[Makini walks up to the painting] I saw it in the Back Lands. It's a big watering hole with lots of water. It was part of the zebra herds' grazing grounds.
Simba:
Zebras? That must be Dhahabu's herd. I didn't realize there was such a big watering hole on her land. That's our answer.
[The Lion Guard shows up and talk to Simba]
Kion: 
I knew my dad would have a plan.
Bunga: 
So you want us to take over their watering hole for the Pride Lands? You got it, bro. Uh, I mean, King Bro?
Simba:
No, Bunga, that is not what I want. Kion, I want you to talk to the zebra leader, Dhahabu. Ask her if she'd be willing to share her watering hole with us.
Bunga: 
Oh, I guess that can work too.
Kion: 
Do you think she'll say yes?
Simba:
It is a big request. Ask her if there's anything we can give them in return. We need that water, Kion. And we need it soon.
Kion: 
Don't worry, Dad, we won't let you down.
[The scene transitions to the Backlands]
Kion:
Be alert, guys. This part of the Back Lands is leopard territory.
Bunga: 
Leopards, schmepards. We can handle 'em, bring 'em on.
Makucha: 
[Makucha pops out] (Roars)
Fuli: 
Makucha!
Bunga: 
Wow, that was fast.
Makucha: 
Hello, Fuli, Lion Guard. Long time no see.
Kion: 
Yeah, haven't seen you since we kicked you out of the Pride Lands.
Makucha: 
And I'm here to return the favor. You're in my territory now. So get out. [Makucha goes after Ono]
Ono: 
[Ono counts his feathers] One, two, three, four, five... I'm good.
Beshte: 
Hey, pick on somebody your own size. [Beshte pushes Makucha]
Makucha: 
Why don't you?
Beshte: 
There's nobody my size here.
Kion: 
Back off, Makucha. We don't want any trouble. We're just passing through.
Fuli: 
You wouldn't want to mess with us anyways. It's five against one.
Makucha: 
(Scoffs) Four and a half, maybe.
Bunga: 
Hey! [Bunga looks at Ono] Oh, he means you.
Kion: 
Come on, Makucha. Just let us through.
Makucha: 
I don't think so. [Makucha goes after the Lion Guard]
Bunga: 
[Bunga goes after Makucha] Zuka Zama!
Fuli: 
[Fuli goes after Makucha] Huwezi!
Makucha: 
Fine, you win. For now, but pass through quickly. And don't come back. [Makucha leaves]
Kion: 
Let's go. But keep your guard up. I don't trust that guy.
[The scene cuts to another part of the Backlands and Bunga thinks he's spots Makucha]
Bunga: 
You're right. There he is again.
Kion: 
Come on out, Makucha. We know you're in there.
[Raha and Starehe come out from a bush]
Raha: 
Makucha?
Starehe: 
Who's he?
Beshte: 
Oh. Zebras. Don't worry. We're friendly.
Fuli: 
Yeah, no need to panic and run.
Raha: 
Oh, we never panic and run.
Starehe: 
We frolic and romp.
[The zebras frolic and romp around the Lion Guard]
Both: 
¶ Frolic and romp Frolic and romp ¶ Frolic and romp Frolic and romp
Beshte: 
Will you look at that?
Fuli: 
[Fuli looks at Ono] I think I like it better when they panic and run.
Both: 
¶ Frolic and romp Frolic and romp
Kion: 
Excuse me, zebras? Sorry to interrupt.
Both: 
¶ Frolic and romp Frolic and romp ¶
Kion: 
Hey!
[The zebras stop frolicking and romping]
Both: 
Yes?
Kion: 
We're looking for a zebra named Dhahabu. Can you take us to her
Both: 
Of course we can.
Kion: 
Um, will you take us to her?
Raha: 
Well, of course.
Starehe: 
Why didn't you ask us in the first place? Come on.
Fuli: 
What's going on?
Kion: 
No idea.
Raha: 
You ready? Hold on to your hippos.
Bunga: 
[Bunga grabs on to Beshte] Got him.
[Music starts]

[Music ends]
​Ono: 
Hapana. Dhahabu is a golden zebra. They're incredibly rare. I've never seen one before.
Beshte: 
She's really different and really pretty.
Bunga: 
She's not pretty, she's incredible. You are un-Bunga-lievable.
Dhahabu: 
I don't know what that means but I'll take it as a compliment. Thank you, little mongoose.
Beshte:
Bunga's actually a...
Bunga: 
Mongoose. If she wants me to be mongoose, I'm a mongoose.
Kion: 
Dhahabu, hello, my name is Kion. I'm here with the rest of the Lion Guard...
Dhahabu: 
The Lion Guard? Are you here to guard me from lions? [Fuli looks at Kion] (Laughs) You know, there aren't any lions is Dhahabu Grove.
Fuli: 
There are now. Kion is a lion.
Dhahabu: 
Hmm, I thought lions were bigger.
Kion: 
Let me start over. I'm the leader of the Lion Guard. And this is Fuli, Beshte, Bunga and Ono.
Fuli: 
Hey.
Beshte: 
Nice to meet you.
Ono: 
Hi.
Bunga: 
[Bunga points out a finger] We've already met.
Kion: 
Anyway, we're here for the Pride Lands because...
Dhahabu: 
Pride Lands? You came all the way from the Pride Lands? How exciting! Prance with me. [Dhahabu starts to prnace]
Bunga:
Whatever you say, Dhahabu. [Bunga follows Dhahabu]
Fuli: 
Seriously? 
[The scene cuts to another part of the Backlands]
Fuli:
Kion, do we really have time for this? We need to ask her about that watering hole.
Beshte: 
I don't know, Fuli, if we get to know Dhahabu, she might be more willing to help us.
Kion: 
Beshte's right. We need to talk to her and make friends. Just like my dad said.
Dhahabu: 
Welcome to Dhahabu Grove, the happiest place in the Back Lands.
Zebras: 
[The zebras frolic and romp] (Laughing)
Kion: 
Wow, Dhahabu. Everyone really does seem to be happy.
Dhahabu: 
Of course. Good leaders keep everyone happy, and in return, everyone loves them. Right?
Kion: 
My dad's a good leader. Everyone loves him 'cause he tries to keep everyone safe.
Dhahabu: 
Hmm, really?
Kion: 
Yes, and that's why we're here. The Pride Lands have had a tough dry season. We need more water.
Dhahabu: 
Oh, that's so sad.
Kion: 
It is. So my dad sent us to ask if we can share your watering hole.
Dhahabu: 
Our... Watering hole?
Fuli: 
You do have one, right?
Dhahabu: 
Well...
[Starehe and Raha come up next to Dhahabu excited] 
Starehe: 
Of course we do. It's huge. The biggest in the Back Lands.
Raha: 
And it would be fun to meet the Pride Landers.
Starehe: 
Can we share it with them?
Both: 
Please?
Dhahabu: 
It would make my herd happy. But...
Kion:
We'd be happy to do something for you in return. Just name it.
Dhahabu: 
[Dhahabu thinks for a minute] Oh, I know! You can bring my herd a Tamboa plant.
Both: 
A Tamboa plant?
Ono: 
A Tamboa plant?
Dhahabu: 
Our favorite food. a real delicacy. But if you don't think you're up to the task, I quite understand...
Bunga: 
You got it. One Tamboa plant, coming up.
Dhahabu: 
Really?
Kion:
Sure, whatever you want. Our pleasure.
Dhahabu: 
Well, okay. Thank you. And good luck.
Kion:
Ono, you know what this Tamboa plant looks like?
Ono: 
Well, I saw one from the sky once. But they're incredibly rare. It could take us days to even find one.
Beshte:
But we don't have days, do we?
Kion:
Nope. So we better get going. Come on, Lion Guard.
Bunga: 
Bye, Dhahabu. [Bunga waves goodbye to Dhahabu]
[The scene cuts to another part of the Backlands as the Lion Guard look for a tamboa plant]
Kion:
Any luck, Ono?
Ono: 
Not yet.
Fuli: 
Ugh, we've been wandering through the Back Lands for hours.
Beshte: 
Come on, Fuli. Ono's doing his best. He did say Tamboa plants were rare.
Ono: 
Sorry, everyone, I'm still looking. [Ono spots the tamboa plant] A-ha!
Kion: 
Well?
Ono: 
[Ono lands] I've spotted a Tamboa plant, but it's very far away. And it'll be nearly impossible for us to get to it.
Bunga: 
Since when does "impossible" stop us? We're the Lion Guard.
Ono: 
I know, but...
Kion:
We'll find a way. A lot of animals are counting on us. Ono, take the lead.
Ono:
Affirmative.
[Ono leads the guard to a rocky part of the Backlands]
Kion:
Ono, are you sure this is the only way?
Ono: 
Unfortunately, yes.
Beshte: 
[Beshte walks nervously] Twende Kiboko. Twende Kiboko. Twende Kiboko.
Ono: 
Beshte, you okay?
Beshte: 
(Stutters) Yeah, I guess.
Bunga: 
You can do it, Big B. It's easy, see? [Bunga walks backwards]
Beshte: 
Careful, Little B.
Bunga: 
Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Hakuna Matata... Ah! [Bunga starts to fall]
[Everyone is worried about Bunga]
Kion: 
Bunga!
Fuli: 
Huwezi. [Fuli saves Bunga and pushes him away from the edge]
Bunga: 
Thanks, Fuli. For a second there, I thought I was one gone mongoose.
Fuli: 
Hakuna Matata, Bunga.
Ono: 
The Tamboa plant is on the other side of this thorn patch. You have to go around to avoid the thorns.
Kion: 
We don't have time to go around.
Bunga: 
So let's go through. [Bunga lifts the thorn bush]
Kion: 
Not all of us have thick skin like you, Bunga.
Beshte: 
[Beshte think] Hmm. Maybe we can go through.
Kion: 
Beshte?
Beshte: 
Follow me, everybody. Twende Kiboko! [Beshte pushes through the thorn bushes]
Bunga: 
Whoa, look at that!
Kion: 
You heard Beshte. Let's follow him.
Beshte: 
Yeah. Whoo.
Fuli: 
Nice job, Beshte.
Bunga: 
Yeah, that was un-Bunga-lievable.
Kion: 
Are you okay?
Beshte: 
I think so.
Kion: 
Good. 'Cause I think we'll need you at full strength.
[Everyone looks at the Tamboa plant]
Beshte: 
That's a Tamboa plant?
Kion: 
Ono, you said it was rare. You didn't say it was huge.
Ono: 
It looked smaller from the sky.
Fuli: 
We're supposed to carry this thing back to the zebras? Seriously?
Bunga: 
Ah, leave it to me. Come on, plantly lanty. Here we go. (Grunting) [Bunga tries to pick up the plant]
Fuli: 
How're we gonna get that thing out of the ground?
Kion: 
Well, if we can't pull it out, maybe we can dig it out.
Bunga: 
Wait. (Grunting) I've almost got...Whoa! [Bunga let's go of the plant and lands on his back near Kion] Digging's good.
(All grunting)
[The Lion Guard digs the Tamboa plant out]
Kion: 
Bunga, I think we're good.
Bunga: 
One more handful. [Bunga throws dirt at Ono by accidence] Oops. Sorry.
Ono: 
No problem.
Kion: 
Beshte, it's all you now.
Beshte: 
You got it, Kion. Twende Kiboko. [Beshte picks up the Tamboa plant]
Bunga: 
Way to go, Big B.
Beshte: 
One Tamboa plant, ready to go.
Kion: 
Great job, Beshte. Now let's get that plant back to Dhahabu.
[The scene transitions to Dhahabu Grove and everyone is doing a dance with their hooves]
Both: 
We love you, Dhahabu!
Dhahabu: 
And I love you, my zebras. [Dhahabu is shocked to see the Tambos Plant] (Screams)
(All Gasps)
Fuli: 
Let me guess. Now you're gonna panic and run.
Starehe: 
Why would we do that?
Raha: 
We're just surprised to see a walking Tamboa plant.
Bunga: 
It's Beshte doing the walking, see?
[Beshte puts down the Tamboa plant]
Kion: 
Okay, Dhahabu. One Tamboa plant, as requested.
Dhahabu: 
I... I never thought you'd actually find one.
Fuli: 
What?
Dhahabu: 
I mean, I hoped you would. I'm just...surprised.
Koon: 
It wasn't easy. But we delivered our side of the deal. So if you could show us the watering hole...
Both: 
[The zebras get excited] We will! We will!
Dhahabu: 
No! [Dhahabu stops Starehe and Raha] I'm sorry, the deal's off. We can't share our watering hole.
All: 
What?
Fuli: 
But...why not?
Kion: 
What do you mean you can't share the watering hole?
Dhahabu: 
It's...It's, um, against the rules.
Raha: 
What rules?
Dhahabu: 
The... The, uh, secret rules.
Starehe:
We never heard of any secret rules.
Dhahabu: 
That's because they're secret. In fact, you're not allowed to go to the watering hole either.
Raha: 
Huh?
Starehe:
What?
Dhahabu: 
That's right. Nobody can use the watering hole. That's my decree.
Zebras: 
Aw!
[Kion turns to his friends]
Fuli: 
I don't get it. Why'd she send us to get that plant, if she wasn't going to let us share the water?
Kion: 
I think Dhahabu's hiding something. Ono, try to get a look at the watering hole. Maybe there's reason she doesn't want us to use it.
Ono: 
Affirmative. [Ono looks at the Watering Hole] (Gasps) Hapana! Everyone, everyone...I know why Dhahabu doesn't want us to see the watering hole.
Kion: 
Why?
Ono: 
Because it's empty. The watering hole is all dried up.
Raha: 
(Gasps) All dried up?
Starehe: 
It's empty?
Dhahabu: 
What? No. The bird must be seeing things.
Ono: 
I've seen things all right, but maybe they're things that you don't want anyone else to see.
Dhahabu: 
(Laughs) What a funny bird he is.
Raha: 
Why didn't you tell us, Dhahabu?
Starehe: 
This makes us really... unhappy.
[The zebras all leave]
Dhahabu: 
Wait! Please, come back. We can frolic! And romp!
KION: 
Kion:
Dhahabu: 
Yes, I saw it a few days ago. But I don't know where the water went.
Kion: 
Why didn't you tell your herd?
Dhahabu: 
I didn't want to make them unhappy.
Ono: 
But zebras can only go a few days without water.
Beshte: 
What were you planning to do?
Dhahabu: 
I don't know. I guess I hoped it would fill itself up again.
Fuli: 
Seriously?
Kion: 
A good leader tells her herd the truth, Dhahabu. Even if it's bad news. And when there's a problem, a good leader tries to help.
Dhahabu: 
You're right. I just don't know what to do.
Bunga: 
How about a hug?
Kion: 
We can do better than that, Bunga. We'll go to the watering hole and see if we can figure out what happened to the water.
Dhahabu: 
Do you think you can fix it?
Kion: 
I don't know but if we can, will you agree to share it with the Pride Landers?
Dhahabu: 
Yes! Yes, yes, yes!
Kion: 
Lion Guard, let's go take a look. Any idea why it dried up?
Dhahabu: 
Well, there used to be a waterfall over there. Could that have something to do with it?
Fuli: 
Uh, yeah. Ono.
Ono: 
On it. I see the problem. A rock slide blocked the waterfall.
Kion: 
Okay, maybe we can unblock it and let the water flow again. Lion Guard, let's get to the top of that cliff.
Dhahabu: 
Wait, that's leopard territory.
Fuli: 
We'll take our chances.
Bunga: 
Do it all the time.
Dhahabu: 
Then take me with you.
Kion: 
Um, I don't know if that's such a good idea.
Beshte: 
Leopards usually aren't very nice.
Fuli: 
Just leave it to us.
Dhahabu: 
Kion, you said, "When there's a problem, a good leader does something about it." And I wanna be a good leader.
Kion: 
Okay, Dhahabu, come on.
Ono: 
There's the rock slide.
Kion: 
Thanks, Ono. Beshte, think you can move those boulders?
Beshte: 
Sure thing, Kion.
Makucha: 
Don't even think it.
Dhahabu: 
(Gasps) That tree just spoke!
Fuli: 
That wasn't a tree.
Makucha: 
No. It was me. I thought you were just passing through. Now you wanna take my water? (GROWLS)
Kion: 
We're not taking it, Makucha. We just wanna move the rocks so the zebras can have water too.
Makucha: 
You don't get it, I don't share. Now get outta here before I make you.
Dhahabu: 
I've got this. Perhaps you don't know who I am.
Makucha: 
Actually, I do. You're lunch.
Dhahabu: 
(Screams)
Kion: 
Dhahabu, take cover. Beshte, move the rocks.
Beshte: 
You got it, Kion.
Makucha: 
Oh, forgot to mention. This time, I brought my friends.
Bunga: 
Hang on, Big B! We'll get him. Out of the way, Leopard. Zuka Zama! (Grunts)
Dhahabu: 
Oh, no. Ono! Look out!
Kion: 
Ono?
Ono: 
Hapana! Thanks, Kion.
Male Leopard: 
(Groans)
Kion: 
(Grunting)
Bunga: 
Hey, leopard! You're not the only one who can jump out of trees. Zuka Zama!
Dhahabu: 
Come on, Beshte. You can beat him.
Female Leopard: 
(Growls)
Beshte: 
Get off.
Kion: 
I think we got 'em all.
Makucha: 
Think again.
(All Gasps)
Dhahabu: 
You guys...I'm starting to think it wasn't such a good idea for me to come after all.
Makucha: 
Leave right now or the zebra gets it.
Kion: 
Let her go, Makucha.
Beshte: 
She didn't do anything to you.
Bunga: 
Take me instead!
Makucha: 
Ugh, no thanks.
Kion: 
I'm warning you, Makucha. Dhahabu's a good leader.
Makucha: 
So? What do I care?
Kion: 
So if there's a problem, a good leader does something about it. Right? Isn't that what a good leader does?
Fuli: 
Oh, yeah, she doesn't just stand there.
Beshte: 
No, not her.
Ono: 
Indeed.
Bunga: 
Wait, who're we talking about?
Dhahabu: 
I am a good leader. And this is a problem. And I'm gonna do something about it! (Grunts) [Dhahabu kicks Makucha and he lands on the rocks]
[The Watering Hole gets unblocked and Makucha runs away from the water]
Makucha: 
(Grunts) 
Kion: 
Dhahabu, you did it. You unblocked the watering hole.
Dhahabu: 
I guess I did, didn't I?
Kion: 
Thanks for sharing, Makucha.
Makucha: 
(Snarls) [Makucha leaves]
Dhahabu: 
Speaking of sharing... The animals of the Pride Lands are more than welcome to share our watering hole.
Kion: 
Thanks, Dhahabu. You really are a good leader. 
[The scene transitions and Kion leads the animals to the watering hole.
Kion:
This way, everyone. Dhahabu and her zebras have something special to share with you.
(All gasps)
Dhahabu: 
Welcome to our watering hole, everyone. Plenty of water to go around.
(All Cheering)
Vuruga Vuruga: 
This looks wonderful.
Dhahabu: 
And I want you all to enjoy it. But first, you have to do something.
Kion: 
Huh? What's that?
Dhahabu: 
You all have to frolic and romp! 
Raha and Starehe: 
Frolic and romp. Frolic and romp.
Vuruga Vuruga: 
Looks like fun, I'm in.
Dhahabu: 
Come on, Lion Guard. You too.
[Kion, Beshte and Ono all jump in the water]
All: 
(Laughing) Frolic and romp. Frolic and romp.
Ono:
(Laughing)
Bunga: 
Watch this, Dhahabu. Zuka Zama! [Bunga jumps into the water and gets Fuli wet]
Fuli: 
Bunga!
Bunga: 
Ah, come on, Fuli. It's a party! [Bunga floats in the water]
Fuli: 
Fine. (Sarcastically) Frolic and romp. Frolic and romp.
All: 
(Laughing)
