The Zebra Mastermind/Transcript

[A dust devil comes into the Pride Lands and the Lion Guard goes after it.]
(Wind whooshing)
Kion: 
We got another dust devil. Come on.
Fuli: 
Ugh! That's the third one today.
Ono: 
Well, the conditions are perfect. Fair skies, no wind. Hot air rises and starts to rotate and... Hapana! [Ono gets attacked by the dust devil] It's headed for Ukuni Woods.
Beshte: 
That's where the hyraxes live.
Bunga: 
They better hang on to their branches.
Hyraxes: 
[The hyraxes are hanging out on a tree] (Squeaking)
(Wind whooshing)
Hyraxes: 
(Squeaking) [The hyraxes start to fall out of the tree]
Kion: 
Hurry!
Ono: 
Here come the hyraxes! 
Bunga:
[Bunga catches the hyrax] Gotcha!
Pim: 
(Squeaking) [Pim lands on Beshte]
Beshte: 
And I got you.
Fuli: 
(Sighs) There it goes.
Kion:
They don't last long, but they sure make a mess.
Beshte: 
[Beshte brings the hyrax to the tree]There you go, little guy.
(Hyraxes squeaking)
Ono: 
[Ono gives the fruit to the hyraxes] And I think this is yours.
Kion: 
Something tells me we're gonna be chasing these things all day.
Bunga: 
Great! I love catching hyraxes.
Fuli: 
I think Kion meant the dust devils.
Kion: 
Right. Ono, keep an eye out.
Ono: 
Affirmative.
Thurston: 
Lion Guard? Excuse me. We need to talk.
Fuli: 
Do we have to?
Kion: 
I know what you're thinking, but we should at least check it out 
[The Lion Guard walks up to the zebras]
Kion:
Is there a problem?
Thurston: 
I should say there is. That dust devil mussed my mane. And I got hit by a leaf. The Lion Guard needs to stop those dust devils, so it doesn't happen again.
Kion: 
I wish we could, but nobody knows when a dust devil's gonna happen, or where it's gonna go.
Thurston: 
Then you should stay on the alert.
Ono: 
[Ono lands] Everyone! Everyone! Another dust devil on the Chakula Plains!
Kion: 
We got to go now. Thanks for the advice. Lion Guard, let's move.
[The Lion Guard leave]
Thurston: 
Yes, that's right. Get moving, Lion Guard. Did you see that? I gave the Lion Guard advice, and they did just what I suggested.
Zebras: 
(Murmuring in consent)
Thurston: 
I don't know what the Lion Guard would do if it wasn't for me. In fact, I think you could say I'm the real brains behind Lion Guard.
(Upbeat music playing)
Thurston: 
[Thurston runs and jumps onto a rock]
¶ The Lion Guard
 might be tough
[Thurston jumps off of the rock]
¶ But they're really
 not that bright
¶ That's why they talk to me
[Thurston runs]
¶ I help them
 make things right
¶ I know so many things
 like...
¶ Zebras are black and white
¶ So the guard always
checks with me
[Thurston kicks his back legs]
¶ Before they go and fight
[Thurston's herd gathers around]
Zebras: 
¶ Oh, yes, he's the best
¶ The smartest
 that you'll find
¶ Brighter than the rest
[Thurston's herd circles around him]
¶ A tribute to our kind
¶ When he takes the lead
¶ We all fall behind
¶ He's the Zebra...
¶ Zebra...
¶ Zebra Mastermind
[Cheezi and Chungu watches Thurston in the distance] 
Thurston: 
[Thurston walks up to his herd]
¶ Just ask me
 and I'll tell you
¶ I'm so very, very smart
¶ If you need an answer
¶ I am the place to start
¶ I don't brag about my wisdom
¶ I just don't have the heart
¶ But if it weren't for me
¶ The Guard would fall apart
[Thurston looks at the camera
Zebras:
¶ Oh, yes, he's the best
[Cheezi and Chungu look at Thurston]
¶ The smartest
 that you'll find
[Thurston's herd walks around Thurston]
¶ Brighter than the rest
¶ A tribute to our kind
¶ When he takes the lead
¶ We all fall behind
[The zebras walk in two lines]
¶ He's the Zebra...
¶ Zebra...
¶ Zebra Mastermind
[The zebras gather around Thurston]
Thurston: 
The Zebra Mastermind, that's me.
Zebras: 
¶ He's the Zebra...
¶ Zebra...
¶ Zebra Mastermind ¶
[Music ends]
[Cheezi and Chungu watch in the distances] 
Cheezi: 
Did you see that?
Chungu: 
Yeah. Who knew zebras could dance?
Cheezi: 
And who knew a zebra was the brains behind the Lion Guard.
Chungu: 
I wonder what it would be like being smart like that. If we were smart, we'd be in that big meeting with Janja and Scar.
Cheezi: 
The one Janja said we couldn't go to 'cause we're not smart enough?
Cheezi: 
(Chuckles) Yeah. They're trying to figure out how to beat the Lion Guard.
Chungu: 
Oh! Ooh! But that zebra is the brains behind the Lion Guard.
Cheezi: 
(Laughs) Oh, yeah! If we took that zebra to Scar, the Lion Guard wouldn't be smart no more!
Chungu: 
(Gasps) Cheezi, didn't we just get an idea?
CHeezi:
(Laughing) Our very first one. Let's go get that zebra.
Thurston: 
I'm not in the grazing mood anymore. Ta-ta for now. 
[Thurston leaves the herd and bumps into Cheezi and Chungu]
Chungu: 
Psst. Hey, you, Zebra.
Cheezi: 
You're coming with us.
Thurston: 
Oh, hello there. Haven't we met before?
Chungu: 
Well, we did try to eat you once when we were lost.
Thurston: 
Oh, yes! But you didn't, right?
Cheezi: 
I guess not.
Thurston: 
Fabulous. Now, what's all this about going somewhere?
Chungu: 
We're taking you to a big, uh, party!
Cheezi: 
(Laughing) Yeah, right! And you'll be the guest of honor.
Thurston: 
Marvelous! Will there be snacks?
Chungu: 
There will be if you're there.
Thurston: 
Sounds like fun. Lead the way. I can honestly tell you I was not looking forward to another afternoon with the herd. Oh, they're nice and all...
[The scene transitions to the Pride Lands and the Lion Guard chases another dust devil]
(Wind whooshing)
Bunga: 
There goes another one. Bye-bye, dust devil.
Kion:
What's the damage Anybody hurt?
Fuli: 
Over here [Fuli finds a pangolin] It's a pangolin He's rolled up under all this stuff.
Beshte:  
Aw. Poor little fella.
Ono: 
Actually, it's a very effective defense strategy. You can relax now. The danger's passed.
Pangolin: 
(Grunts) [The pangolin gets up]
Fuli: 
You okay?
Pangolin: 
(Grutning)
Ono:
Were there other pangolins with you?
Pangolin: 
(Grunting)
Kion:
They could have rolled off anywhere. Ono.
Ono: 
On it. [Ono goes to find the pangolins]
[The scene transitions to the Outlands]
Thurston: 
Say, have I been here before?
Chungu: 
I think you was here with the Lion Guard once.
Thurston: 
Hm. Perhaps I led them here. Finding their way around is not one of their strong points.
Cheezi: 
Wait, wait, wait. The Lion Guard's got weak point?
Thurston: 
(Chuckles) Oh, my, yes.
Chungu: 
Uh, like what?
Thurston: 
Well, like flowers.
Cheezi: 
Flowers?
Thurston: 
Once, we were in a field of fluffy red flowers, just one sniff and they all started sneezing and sneezing, and sneezing. (LAUGHING) They were so overcome from sneezing that anyone, anyone could've beaten them.
Cheezi: 
Anyone? Chungu, come here. [Cheezi talks to Chungu away from Thurston] You hear that? When the Lion Guard sniffed them flowers anyone can beat 'em.
Chungu: 
Uh, so?
Cheezi: 
We're anyone.
Chungu: 
Oh, yeah. We are!
Cheezi: 
So, instead of giving Scar the zebra, what if we gave him the Lion Guard? (Laughs)
Chungu: 
Ooh, he'd like that even better!
Cheezi: 
And all we got to do is stick flowers under the Lion Guard's noses Uh, hey, zebra. We got to go, um, do something real important. (LAUGHS) So, we need you to stay here, okay?
Thurston: 
And then we'll go to the party?
Cheezi: 
Yeah. Yeah, the party. Right.
Chungu: 
So, do not go anywhere, okay?
Thurston: 
I will be right here when you return. Zebra's honor.
Cheezi: 
Uh, and, uh, where did you say those flowers were. (LAUGHS) The ones that make the Lion Guard sneeze.
Thurston: 
Ah, yes. They're right next to the place with that big thing with all that stuff on it.
Chungu: 
Oh, yeah. I know that place.
Cheezi: 
Then let's get going Come on!
[Cheezi and Chungu leave Thurston alone in the Outlands]
Thurston: 
I hope they don't bring any of those flowers here. I'm not fond of the smell, and they make me sneeze. Wait! Was it the Lion Guard who sneezed at the flowers or was it me? 
Oh, well. Either way, it makes for a fascinating story.
[The scene cuts to the Pride Lands where the Lion Guard are helping the pangolins]
Beshte: 
Twende Kiboko! [Beshte lifts up a long]
Bunga: 
Hey, pangy-angolin. [Bunga picks up a pangolin] Everything is okay now. You're good to unroll and relax.
Fuli: 
He might be more willing to relax if you stop shaking him. [Fuli puts down the pangolin]
Bunga: 
Mm. Good point.
Pangolin:
(Grunting)
(All grunting)
[The pangolins leave]
Beshte: 
(Sniffles) Aw. I love a happy ending.
[Cheezi and Chungu show up]
Cheezi: 
(Laughs mischievously)
Chungu: 
Then we will give you an ending you will not forget.
Cheezi: 
Yeah, that's right.
Beshte: 
Cheezi? Chungu?
Kion: 
What's going on you two? Where's Janja?
Cheezi: 
[Cheezi rubs flowers on the Lion Guard's noises] Give it up, Lion Guard.
Chungu: 
Yeah. Or you're gonna get this.
(Both grunting)
Fuli: 
What are they doing?
Beshte: 
It looks like they brought us flowers.
Bunga: 
Should we have gotten them something?
Cheezi: 
That's right! We got flowers and we ain't afraid to use them.
(Laughs sheepishily)
Chungu: 
We warned you, now take that. And that! And that, and that!
Cheezi: 
(Laughing) Yeah! Oh, we got you now! (Grunting)
Beshte:
Are they attacking us?
Cheezi: 
How do you like that? (Grunting)
Bunga: 
Maybe?
Cheezi: 
Your turn. (Laughs) [Cheezi rubs flowers in Fuli's noise]
Fuli: 
Are you done?
Cheezi:
Chungu, the flowers ain't making them sneeze at all.
Chungu: 
[Chungu rubs a flower on Kion's noise] (Grunting) They're not? (Grunting)
Kion: 
Stop it! I don't know why you want us to sneeze, but we're putting an end to it.
Fuli: 
Thanks for the flowers. Now, beat it. (Growls)
Cheezi: 
[Cheezi falls onto Chungu] (Whimpering) Let's get out of here!
Cheezi and Chungu: 
(Both groan)
Beshte: 
Good idea. Twende Kiboko! [Beshte lifts up Cheezi and Chungu]
Cheezi and Chungu: 
(Both screaming and groaning)
[Cheezi and Chungu leave]
Cheezi: 
Why didn't the flowers make 'em all sneezy?
Chungu: 
Maybe we picked the wrong kind of flowers. (Sneezes)
Ono: 
That was... different.
Kion: 
Yeah. I wonder what they were really up to.
(Wind whooshing)
[Another dust devil comes]
Ono: 
Hapana! No time to wonder We've got another dust devil.
Kion: 
Lion Guard, let's go. 
[The scene transitions to Goigoi who's sleeping in the Outlands]
Goigoi: 
(Snoring)
Reirei:
[Reirei walks up to Goigoi] Goigoi! Wake up!
Goigoi: 
[Goigoi wakes up] (Gasping) Huh? Honey Paws? Why you roustin' me?
Reirei:
Scar's called a big meeting for all of the pack leaders.
Goigoi: 
(Grunts) Okay, okay. I'ma comin'.
Reirei: 
You're not invited.
Goigoi: 
I'm not? Phew! (Groans) What is it now, Sugar Snout?
Reirei: 
I woke you, 'cause I want you to round up some supper.
Goigoi: 
(Exclaims) Me? Hunt?
Reirei: 
That's right. Make yourself useful for a change. If I come back and find no food, I better not find you here either, you do-nothing lollygagger! [Reirei leaves]
Goigoi: 
Do-nothing? Lollygagger? It's like she thinks I can't do nothing. Well, I'll show her. I'll do something so amazing... Hmm, [Goigoi spots Thurston in the Outlands] I'll be a baboon's brother. That there is a month's worth of fine dining. (Laughs) Once I bring it home, Reirei will have to admit I've done something. (Growling)
Thurston: 
Oh! Well, hello there.
Goigoi: 
Eh... Howdy, stranger. (Chuckles) What's a big juicy, uh... handsome fella like you doing in these parts?
Thurston: 
I am waiting for my hyena friends. They're taking me to a big party.
Goigoi: 
A party?
Thurston: 
Yes. Because I'm an expert on the Lion Guard. The hyenas especially enjoyed hearing about their weaknesses.
Goigoi: 
The Lion Guard has weaknesses?
Thurston: 
Oh, yes. You know, sometimes they run right past me, like they don't see me at all. It's my stripes, of course. They make me invisible to lots of animals, including the Lion Guard.
Goigoi: 
Invisible, huh? So, you can say you sneak up on all of them, and they never see you coming?
Thurston: 
Well, perhaps. But you see there's...
Goigoi: 
So your stripes would let you take the whole Lion Guard by surprise and defeat them all by yourself?
Thurston: 
I suppose. But why would anyone want to do that?
Goigoi: 
'Cause it would really be doing something, and then Reirei would know I ain't a do-nothing.
Thurston: 
I see. Who's Reirei?
Goigoi: 
Wait here till I get back. I'm gonna make you a big part of my victory celebration. Wonder where I could get me some stripes?
Thurston: 
Hmm. I wonder if I told my stripes only make me invisible when I'm surrounded by other zebras? Oh, well. I'll tell him at the party.
[The scene cuts to the Pride Lands and the Lion Guard chases another dust devil]
(Wind whooshing)
Bunga: 
That's right. Keep going, dust devil. The Lion Guard's here.
Ostriches: 
(Groaning) [The ostriches are seen stuck in dirt]
Kion: 
Heyvi kabisa! Huwezi! [Fuli attacks Chungu]
Chungu: 
Ooh!
[Ono pecks Nduli]
Nduli: 
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Beshte: 
 Twende Kiboko! [Beshte lifts up Tamka]
Tamka: 
(Shouting)
Bunga: 
Zuka Zama! [Bunga grabs Cheezi's tail and spins it]
Cheezi: 
(Groaning)
GOiogi: 
The zebra was right for a change. Panic and run!
(All screaming and grunting)
All: 
Panic and run! Panic and run!
Thurston: 
Where are they going? We were headed for a party.
Beshte: 
They invited you to a party?
Thurston: 
That's right. They all wanted to talk to me about you.
Kion:
Like how flowers make us sneeze?
Thurston: 
(Stammers) Well...
Ono: 
Or that we can't see stripes.
Beshte: 
Or if you rub our tummies, we fall asleep.
Thurston: 
Perhaps I may have mentioned something along those lines.
Fuli: 
Ever think you might talk too much?
Thurston: 
Me?
Kion: 
Come on, let's go home.
[The Lion Guard brings Thurston home]
Thurston: 
Well, perhaps I do talk a tad too much. But I can do better. In fact, I'll start right now. You'll see, I won't make a peep. Not a peep! Nope, not a single peep from me. You're not...
