The Race to Tuliza/Transcript

(Everyone is still walking in the desert and the sun is hot) 
Bunga: 
(Sighs)
Kion:
(Kion looks at the sun but gets annoyed at it) Ugh! Mm. (Groans)  Whoa! (Kion falls down)
Fuli: 
Kion!
Makini: 
(Makini tries to help Kion but he refuses) Here, let me help you.
Kion: 
I don't need help. I'm fine. Let's just keep walking. (Kion continues walking)
Fuli: 
Looks like Kion could use some Tuliza.
(Kion looks at everyone)
Kion: 
What? I said I'm fine!
Bunga: 
See? He's fine.
Fuli: 
Makini?
Makini: 
Tuliza, coming up. (Makini opens her gourd but sees that there's no Tuliza left) 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 looks 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: 
(Bunga acts like he's thirsty) 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. (Bunga shows Fuli is tongue)
Fuli: 
Ugh. Put that thing away.
Bunga: 
(Bunga tries to show Kion) (still with a tongue) Kion. Kion. Wanna thee?!
Kion: 
(Kion gets mad at Bunga) (Growls) Bunga!
Bunga: 
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 watches Anga as she looks for Tuliza)
Fuli:
 (Sighs) Come on, Anga. Find us some Tuliza.
Anga:
 (Anga uses her vision and tries to find the Tuliza) Tuliza... Tuliza... Tuliza... Yes (Anga goes back to everyone)
Fuli: 
Anga! Find any Tuliza?
Anga: 
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 runs towards the water)
Fuli: 
Bunga!
Kion: 
Guess we better go after him.
(Everyone goes after Bunga)
Bunga:
Woah! Anga was right! It's a sea!
Anga: 
(Anga lands) Like I said.
Beshte: 
"Poa!" Look at all that...
Bunga: 
Water!
Ono: 
Bunga, wait! Don't drink it!
Bunga: 
(Bunga drinks the water but spits it out) (Slurps and spits)
Ono: 
It might be salty,
Bunga: 
This water is salty! Blegh! I gotta get this taste outta my mouth! (Bunga licks a rock) Ble-ugh! This rock tastes gross. Why would I lick a strange rock? I need water! (Bunga drinks the 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 into 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:
(Fuli turns to Anga) Now it's the "Great" Bunga Sea?
(Water bubbling)
Kion: 
Uh, guys? Something's happening. (Kion floats on his back in the water) Woah! 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!
(Bunga splashes into the water and it lands on Fuli)
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! 
(Beshte goes into the water and Ono falls of his back)
Ono: 
(Squawks)
Beshte: 
"Twende Kiboko!"
(All laughing)
Beshte: 
Come on, everyone! The water's "poa!"
Bunga: 
Or do you wanna be elephant eggs?
Makini: 
Not me! (Makini goes into the water)
Ono: 
Hmm. I usually just wade. But it might be relaxing. (Ono tries out the water) 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: 
(Fuli sees Kion floating away) Well, Kion could float away.
Bunga: 
(Bunga grabs Kion and brings him back to everyone) "Zuka Zama!" 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!" (Fuli goes to get the Tuliza)
(Chorus vocalizing) 
(Everyone else relaxes at the sea)
Bunga: 
Now that's what I call relaxed.
(The scene tranaitions and Fuli is seen running)
Fuli:
 Ah! Feels so good to really run again!
(Chorus vocalizing continues)
Fuli: 
(Gasps) 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! (Fuli gets lost)
Azaad: 
(Off-screen) Well, well. Looks like we have a lost cheetah.
Fuli: Who's there?
(The scene transitions back t0 the Sea everyone is seen enjoying the water)
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. But this is the best I've felt in days. So peaceful.
Anga:
Yeah, it is peaceful. Wait a second. What's that? (Anga uses her vision and spots a flock of flamingos) Uh-oh. Guys! Feathers! Beaks! Pink!
Beshte: 
Huh?
Anga: 
Flamingos!
(A group of flamingos come to the sea)
(Flamingos squawking)
Kion: 
Guys? What's going on?
Anga: 
Um... This is not good.
(The scene transitions back to Fuli she looks around and hears a voice)
Fuli: 
Who are you? Show yourself?
Azaad:
(Azaad shows up) Orders? (Laughs) (Azaad jumps down) 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. 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 transitons back to the sea the flamingos party)
(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 pus a leaf on Kion's eyes to cover them) It's, it's all gonna be okay. Just think happy lion thoughts.
Kion: 
Happy lion thoughts?
(Makini moves Kion away from the flamingos)
(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 huddle 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:
(Bunga points at the flamingos) 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 puts his hands in the air) Flamingo Dance Party!
Both: 
Flamingo Dance Party!
Flamingos: 
Whoo!
(Dance music plays)
(Flamingos dance)
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
(A flamingo pick up their leg)
One leg up, one leg down
(Makini moves Kion)
Now it's time to move around,
Flap those feathers, lots of pink
Dance and dance, no need to think.
(Flamingos continues dancing)
Wing salute
Point beak
Head, flap
Flap, repeat
Wing salute
Point beak
Head, flap
Flap, repeat
(Flamingos walk around in the water)
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
(Flamingos dance around Anga)
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
(Beshte blocks the flamingos so they don't go near Kion)
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
(Flamingos enjoy their sea)
Yeah, we're having lots of fun
'Cause we're on a migration
(Flamingos eat the shrimp and algae)
Shrimp or algae? One of each
Party hardy, Flamingo Beach
(Flamingos keep dancing)
Wing salute

(Bunga dances with the flamingos) 
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
(Bunga still is dancing but Ono is annoyed with the song)
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
(Beshte, Makini and Anga try to move Kion away from the flamingos)
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, flamingo
Go, go, go!
(Music ends)
Flamingos: 
Flamingo dance party!
(Flamingos cheering and whooping)
(Flamingos run over Ono)
(Anga picks up Ono and puts him on Beshtes' back)
Beshte: 
You okay, Ono?
Ono: 
I'll be fine.
(Flamingos whooping)
Kion: 
(Kion has trouble relaxing) (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 transitions.back to Azaad and Fuli are seen getting ready 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!
(Fuli and Azaad race)
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 vocalizing)
Fuli: 
Almost there. Woah! Ahh! (Fuli falls)
Azaad:
You must watch your step! "Mibinamet"! (Azaad jumps over Fuli and wins the race) (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: 
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 transitions back to the sea the flamingos are still seen partying)
(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:
Wooh!
Anga: 
Ugh!
(The scene transitions back to Fuli and Azaad they get ready to start another race)
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 and Azaad run)
Fuli:
"Huwezi!"
Azaad:
"Mibinamet!"
(Chorus vocalizing)
Azaad: 
(Azaad sees Fuli running) 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 starts to fall) (Grunts) Aah!
Fuli:
(Fuli sees that Azaad is seen struggling) Azaad?
Azaad:
(Grunting) 
Fuli:
(Fuli grabs onto Azaad) Azaad! Gotcha.
Azaad: 
Fuli? You have come back?
Fuli: 
Less talking. More climbing. (Fuli pulls up Azaad)
(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 transitions back to the sea the flamingos continue dancing)
(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: 
(Sighs) This is not going well.
Bunga: 
(Screaming)
Makini:
That's Bunga!
Ono: S
ounds like he's in trouble.
Beshte: 
We're coming, Little B!
Bunga: 
(Bunga is seen being carried by the flamingos) Woo-hoo!
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 sees Kion is missing) At least he was.
Kion: 
(Kion is seen sleeping) (Snoring)
(The flamingos are sen looking around Kion)
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)
(The flamingos gather around Kion and he opens his eyes)
Kion: 
(Off-Screen) (Yelps)
Ono: 
That doesn't sound good.
(Everyone goes to Kion)
Anga: 
Come on!
Kion: 
Hey! Get away! Leave me alone! (Kion moves the flamingos out of the way)
(Thunder rumbling)
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! (Anga uses her vision and sees Fuli with Azaad carrying the Tuliza) Kion! 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 and Azaad step into the water to bring Kion the Tuliza)
Makini: 
Perfect timing! Here Kion!
Kion: 
(Kion eats the Tuliza) (Moans) (Sighs) Thanks, Makini.
Fuli: 
Um... what's with the flamingos?
Bunga: 
(Bunga sees Azaad) 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: 
(Makini puts the Tuliza in the gourd) 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)
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.
Both: 
Run!
(Fuli and Azaad both run their separate ways)
Azaad: 
"Mibinamet!"
Fuli: 
(Fuli watches as Azaad runs away) (Sighs) Bye, Azaad.
(The Lion Guard and Makini continue walking to the Tree of Life))
