The Tree of Life/Transcript

[The Lion Guard and Makini come to a giant lake]
Anga: 
The last moja kwa moja Stone is on the other side of the lake. 
Ono: 
We're almost at the Tree of Life!
Kion: 
I know... Finally. Anga? How long will it take to go around the lake?
Anga: 
[Anga looks at the lake] It's pretty big. Could take all night. 
Kion: 
Ugh. Then let’s get going.
Bunga: 
Hey Kion! Look at this! (Tapping) [Bunga puts his leg on the ice] The lake. It’s hard.
Ono: 
The lake isn’t "hard". It’s ice. It’s so cold, it must have frozen over.
Bunga: 
Yeah, well, it’s "ice" enough that we can walk on it. Maybe all the way across.
Fuli: 
You think it's safe?
Ono: 
Ah, I'm not sure. It could be, but I think we should test it first.
Beshte: 
How are we going to do that?
Makini: 
Maybe like that.
Bunga: 
[Bunga skates on the ice] This is great! Hoo-hoo-ha! C’mon out! The ice is fine!
Kion: 
I think Bunga's right. That looks like the fastest way to go. C'mon! Whoa... [Kion slips]
[Everyone walks on the lake]
Makini: 
(Tapping) Whoa, [Makini slips] it's slippery! (Chcukles) And kind of fun.
Ono: 
Is it? Hmm. (Squawk) [Ono slips] Whoa! I think I'll just stick to flying.
Beshte: 
(Ice cracking) Guys? I'm not so sure this was a good idea. (GASPS) Uh-oh. The ice is cracking!
Kion: 
(Ice cracking) Everyone, run!
[Everyone runs off the ice]
All: 
(Gasping, panting)
Makini: 
(Yelps) (Gasping, Panting)
Bunga: 
Whoa.
Makini: 
[Makini's ice separate and she gets stuck] Help! Help!
Anga: 
Makini!
Kion: 
Anga, can you reach her?
Anga: 
The wind from my wings might tip the ice she's standing on.
Kion: 
Up to us, Fuli.
Fuli: 
Huwezi.
Makini: 
[Makini tries to reach for Kion] Almost... (Splash) [Makini falls into the water] (Screams)
Kion: 
Makini! (Grunts) [Kion brings Makini back on the ice]
(All grunting)
Makini: 
(Shudders) Oh, thank you, Kion. Thank you, Fuli.
Fuli: 
You're welcome.
Kion: 
Yeah, now, let's get off this ice.
Bunga: 
I had a feeling that hard water couldn't be trusted.
Kion:
[Kion rubs his eye because of his scar] (Grunts) Makini... I think I need some Tuliza.
Makini: 
Sure, Kion. (Gasps) Oh, no, my staff! It must have slipped off when I fell in the water!
Anga: 
[Anga looks for Makini's staff but doesn't see it] I don't see it. Must be under the ice.
Kion:
So we don't have any Tuliza?
Makini: 
Sorry, Kion.
Kion:
It's okay. At least we're close to the last moja kwa moja stone. Right, Anga?
Anga: 
Yep. Right over there.
[The gang reaches the final moja kwa moja stone]
Ono: 
(Gasps) Oh, no!
Fuli: 
What is it, Ono?
Ono: 
I just realized. Without Makini's staff, we can't bring the painting to life.
Bunga: 
So?
Ono: 
So, we can't be sure it's really moja kwa moja stone.
Makini: 
(Sadly) Oh!
Kion:
But you remember Rafiki's map, don't you, Ono? If this is the last moja kwa moja stone, then the Tree of Life must be nearby.
Ono: 
Let me see.[Ono's eyes flash and he looks at the map] Nawaza. According to the map, there's a narrow mountain pass ahead. And on the other side is the Tree of Life.
Kion:
Thanks, Ono. Anga? Do you see a pass in the mountain?
Anga: 
Let's see. Got it. [Anga uses her vision and sees the Mountain Pass] This way.
Bunga: 
Ooh, Anga, do you see the Tree of Life, too?
Anga: 
I can't see through mountains.
Kion:
Everyone, let's head for that mountain pass.
Fuli: 
Kion? I really think we should wait until morning. We don't know what's on the other side of that mountain. If we wait til sunrise, we'll be able to see better.
Kion:
Fuli, I'm not gonna get any better just waiting here. Now c'mon.
Ono: 
It's okay, Fuli. Once we get Kion to the Tree of Life, he'll feel better.
Fuli: 
(Sighs) I sure hope so. All right. You heard Kion. Let's go.
[The Lion Guard and Makini heads towards the Mountain Pass]
Ullu: 
[Ullu spots the Lion Guard and Makinicoming her way] (Hoots) Who could that be? Hmm. Better to be safe than sorry. I'll go warn the Night Pride. [Ullu goes to find the Night Pride]
Kion:
C'mon, everyone. Keep moving.
(Buzzing)
Bunga: 
[Bunga sees a beehive] Huh? A beehive. A beehive means bees. And honey, too. Mmm! [Bunga goes after the beehive]
Kion:
Bunga! Don't!
Bunga:
Don't worry. [Bunga tries to reach for the beehive] (Grunts) I'm fine. Almost there.
Kion:
Bunga, look out!
(Rocks rumble)
[The rocks start to fall and Bunga moves out of the way]
Bunga: 
Whoa!
Kion:
Rockslide! Everyone, scatter! 
Ono: 
Hapana!
(Rocks rumbling)
[The rocks block the path]
Kion:
Heyvi kabisa! Now the whole mountain pass is blocked. Bunga, why didn't you just listen to me? [Kion notices Bunga isn't with his friends] Bunga?
Bunga: 
[Bunga is stuck in the rocks] In here.
Beshte: 
Little B. You okay?
Bunga: 
Yep, I'm good. Kinda cozy in here.
Kion:
Ugh. And we're so close.
Makini: 
Shwari, Kion. It's okay.
Kion:
Okay!? We've just blocked the only way to the Tree of Life. Everyone, we have to clear these rocks. Now!
Bunga:
And get me free, right?
Beshte: 
That's right, Little B.
Fuli: 
We could just leave him.
[The scene cuts to Ullu who's guiding the Night Pride to the Lion Guard]
Ullu: 
(Hooting) Almost there.
[The Night Pride stands tall together on the rocks]
Rani: 
Night Pride, together!
[The Night Pride runs to the other side of the rock slide]
Ullu: 
[Ullu spots the rockslide] (Gasps) This wasn't here before.
Rani: 
Thank you, Ullu. We'll take it from here.
Ullu:
Happy to help, Rani. [Ullu flys away]
[Rani listens to the strange voices]
Bunga: 
[Off-screen] Get me outta here!
Fuli: 
[Off-screen] Stop moving!
Kion:
[Off-screen] Come on!
Rani: 
Ullu was right. I don't recognize these voices. Surak?
Surak: 
They're strangers for certain. And if they caused the mountainside to collapse, they must be powerful.
Rani: 
Powerful could mean dangerous. Nirmala?
Nirmala: 
They could be... I suggest we take it slow. Try talking to them. Perhaps they come in peace.
Kion: 
[Off-screen] Ugh! (Frustrated growl)
Baliyo: 
Doesn't sound like peace to me. [Baliyo climbs the rocks]
Rani: 
Baliyo! Where are you going?
Baliyo: 
I'm takin' a look.
Kion: 
Let's keep going. Once we clear these rocks, nothing will stop us from getting to the Tree of Life.
Baliyo: 
Nothing will stop them? That really doesn't sound like peace. They're strangers. And they sound mean. But I'll stop them. [Baliyo goes after the Lion Guard]
Rani: 
No, Baliyo, wait.
Surak: 
Now what?
Nirmala: 
Rani?
Rani: 
Ugh. He didn't leave us with much of a choice. With strength and respect...
All: 
Night Pride protect!
[The Night Pride goes after the Lion Guard]
Fuli: 
(Grunts) [Fuli moves the rock]
Baliyo: 
Lada'i! [Baliyo attacks Kion]
Fuli: 
(Gasps) Look out... no!
Anga: 
Fuli. More lions.
[The rest of the Night Pride comes out]
Fuli: 
(Gasps) What's going on?!
Beshte: 
What do we do, Fuli?
Fuli: 
Anga and Beshte, help me hold off the lions. Makini and Ono, keep working to get Bunga free.
Makini: 
On it.
Ono: 
Affirmative.
Anga: 
Okay.
Beshte: 
You got it, Fuli. Twende Kiboko! [Beshte goes after Surak]
Surak: 
Jogina! [Surak and Nirmala moves out of the way]
Anga: 
Anga lenga! [Anga goes after Nirmala]
Surak: 
Nirmala, duck.
Nirmala: 
[Nirmala ducks her head] Thanks.
Rani: 
[Rani goes after Fuli] (Grunts)
Fuli: 
Hey! I don't know what we did to you, but this's gotta be a misunderstanding.
Rani: 
Misunderstanding? Is that what you call this rockslide? (Grunts)
Fuli:
(Panting) The rockslide was an accident. We didn't mean to start it.
Baliyo: and Kion:
(Grunting) [Baliyo and Kion fight each other]
Rani: 
And your lion friend attacking my little brother is an accident, too? (Growls) [Rani goes after Fuli]
Bunga:
[Bunga struggles getting out of the rocks] Makini! Ono! Get me outta here! I gotta help fight!
Makini: 
We're trying, but you need to stop squirming. You're making more rocks fall.
Bunga: 
Fine, then at least let me get a good view. [Bunga moves Ono out of the way]
Ono:
(Squawks)
Bunga:
That's better. Whoa. Look at that! It's like we're fighting a Lion Guard made of lions.
Fuli: 
Ugh!
Baliyo: 
You fight good. But I fight even more good!
Kion: 
Ah, oof. (Growls) I don't know who you are. But we've come too far to let you stop us now.
[Dark clouds come above]
Baliyo: 
(Gasps) What? What is that?
Kion:
(Roars) [Kion uses the Roar of the Elders and sends Baliyo flying]
[Rani is shocked as she watches her brother fly]
Nirmala: 
Did you see that, too?
Surak: 
Indeed. I've heard stories of a lion with a powerful roar. But not since I was a cub. Rani? How do you want to proceed?
Rani: 
(Growls) [Rani goes after Kion]
Fuli: 
Kion. You're outta control.
Kion:
Fuli. I... Yeah. I guess I was.
Rani:
(Grunts) [Rani pins down Kion] Lion, who are you?
Kion:
What? Who are you?
Rani: 
I'm Rani. Leader of the Night Pride.
Kion:
Night Pride?
Rani: 
We protect everyone at the Tree of Life from those who might cause them harm. Like you. And your roar.
Kion:
I'm sorry. We're really not a threat. I can explain.
Rani: 
You may say that you and your friends mean no harm, but actions... speak louder than words.
Fuli: 
We're not here to harm anyone. 
[Rani gets off of Kion]
Kion:
Thanks. Rani, my name's Kion. My friends and I have been on a very long journey. We need to get to the Tree of Life to get help. I need help.
Rani: 
I'm sure you do. But your roar sent my brother flying. I can only imagine the damage you could do to everyone living at the Tree of Life.
Kion:
But I...
Rani: 
You, and your "friends," will never be welcome at the Tree of Life. Leave now, and never return. Night Pride, together!
[The Night Pride leaves]
Kion:
I... I can't believe it.
Anga: 
So... now what?
Bunga: 
Uh, maybe get me outta here?
Fuli: 
Yeah. Come on.
Bunga: 
Hey hey Kion you don't have to listen to her, you've got the Roar! Those lions won't stop us from going to the Tree of Life.
Fuli: 
Bunga, just because we can do something doesn't mean we should.
Bunga: 
Really? Anytime I can eat a grub I do!
Beshte: 
Fuli's right Little B. We want to be welcomed at the Tree of Life, not fight our way in. Although we did start the rockslide and block the mountain pass, maybe the lions were just defending their home just like we would if someone started a rockslide in the Pride Lands.
Makini: 
Does that mean we're not going to the Tree of Life now?
Fuli: 
No, we just have to come up with another plan. Right Kion? Kion? [Fuli sees Kion walking away sadly] Okay, for now let's just get Bunga out of these rocks.
{The scene cuts to the Night Pride]
Baliyo: 
Hey, did you see me fly?
Rani: 
Little brother, you're okay. [Rani hugs Baliyo]
Baliyo: 
Of course, and I'm not your little brother, I'm just younger. So what were those strangers and what was that Roar?
Surak: 
It was like something from a legend.
Rani: 
It doesn't matter who they were, they're gone now. But I should tell Queen Janna what really happened. Uncle Surak and Nirmala, stay with Baliyo and make sure he's really okay.
Baliyo: 
You know, I always thought that flying would be more fun.
Nirmala: 
Come on Baliyo, let's get you something for your head.
[The scene cuts to inside the Tree of Life and Rani speaks to hear grandmother Queen Janna]
Rani: 
Queen Janna, grandmother, are you awake?
Janna:
Yes Rani, I am. Is everything alright?
Rani: 
Yes, at least it is now.
Janna:
Come now, my dear. What’s wrong?
Rani: 
A very strange group of animals caused a rockslide that blocked off the mountain pass.
Janna:
Oh, is that so?
Rani: 
Yes, they were led by a lion with a scar across his eye.
Janna:
A scar? Hmm.
Rani: 
But we fought them off and I told them to leave and never return. I promise grandmother, they’ll never make to the Tree of Life.
Janna:
I believe you. Well done Rani.
Rani: 
That lion actually had a Roar so powerful enough to send Baliyo flying.
Janna:
Ah yes, the Roar. It has finally returned.
[The scene cuts back to Kion who's feeling bad about what he did]
[Music starts]
[Kion looks at the last moja kwa moja stone]
Kion::
¶Here
¶Here at the end of the trail
¶How could I come all this way
[Kion walks sadly]
¶Only just to fail
[Kion walks next to the Giant Lake]
¶Now where, where do I go?
¶I've tried all that I know
¶Don't think there's any more I can do
[Kion looks sad and then hears Fuli]
Fuli: 
(Spoken Come on, everyone! We can do this. Work together.
[Kion sees his friends working together to free Bunga]
Kion:
¶But now, I think I see
¶There's more to this journey than me
¶So if I have to, I'll move along
[Kion smiles]
¶In a group where I belong
[Kion slides down the snow]
¶With my friends
¶I know I won't be alone
[Kion runs in the snow]
¶With my friends
¶We'll find a path that I can't find on my own
[Kion jumps on ice]
¶Maybe this journey won't end today
[Kion lands on the snow]
¶But with my friends, it'll be okay
[Kion looks at his friends]
¶With my friends
¶It begins and ends
¶With my friends
[Music ends]
Makini: 
Almost there. [Makini pushes the rock]
Bunga: 
[Bunga gets free and does a dance] Hoo ha I'm free I'm free. Phew being trapped sure works up an appetite oh yeah bees. [Bunga goes after the bees]
All: 
Bunga! 
Bunga: 
Oh right. [Bunga sees Kion and goes to him] Hey Kion look I'm outta the rocks now we can go to the Tree of Life.
Kion:
I'm glad you're out Bunga but I don't think we can go to the Tree of Life.
Bunga: 
What why not? 
Kion:
Because I lost control of the Roar again. Maybe the leader of the Night Pride is right maybe it's not safe to let me go the Tree of Life. I'm sorry I took you on this journey you stuck with me through it all and then we finally get here, I ruined everything.
Fuli: 
Kion we know you didn't mean to lose control of the Roar.
Beshte: 
Maybe if we talk to the Night Pride we can explain everything. 
Bunga: 
Yeah worth a try.
Ono: 
Don't worry Kion even if we can't get to the Tree of Life, we can find another way to heal your scar and we won't give up until we do.
Kion:
You know Ono? You're right we won't give up because my scar isn't the only thing that needs healing.
[The scene cuts back to the Tree of Life]
Rani: 
So this Roar is a good thing? 
Janna: 
Yes and it can be a great thing. 
Rani: 
What about the scar on his eye didn't you say? 
Janna: 
We all have our scars Rani Sisi Ni Sawa. 
Rani: 
We're the same? Yeah but I'm still not sure I totally understand why you think.
Janna: 
All will be clear soon enough but right now I need you to go welcome this lion and his friends to the Tree of Life.
Rani: 
Okay. 
Janna: 
And hurry before they actually do leave for good.
Rani: 
Yes of course grandmother.
Janna: 
Thank you Rani.
[Rani leaves the Tree of Life]
Baliyo: 
[Baliyo jumps] C'mon Rani. Let's go.
Rani: 
Go? Go where?
Baliyo: 
Back to the pass. We can't just tell those strangers to go away. We gotta make them.
Rani: 
Glad you're feeling better, Baliyo. But the Queen was actually excited to hear about the strange Lion's Roar.
Baliyo: 
Huh? She was?
Surak: 
So it was the Roar of the Elders.
Rani: 
I guess so. Which means we must welcome the lion and his friends to the Tree of Life.
Baliyo: 
Welcome them? Did you see that Roar? Cause I felt it and...
Surak: 
It is the power of legends.
Nirmala: 
We'll need to treat him with care.
Baliyo: 
Treat him with care? Thar Roar thing sent me flying all the way through the pass. We gotta go do something.
Surak: 
Baliyo? Let's think before we react.
Nirmala: 
Arama karo.
Baliyo: 
Relax. Right. (Sighs) Sorry.
Rani: 
Give me a moment, too?
Surak: 
Of course.
[The scene cuts and Rani speaks to her parents]
(Thunder rumbling]
Rani: 
Mom? Dad?
[Rani's parents spirits 
Sãhasí:
We're here, Rani.
Ãnanda:
How are you?
Rani: 
I'm okay. But I need some advice. Grandmother wants me to welcome a strange lion and his friends to the Tree of Life. But I'm not sure that I should. What if I let them in and something bad happens? It's my job to protect the Tree of Life.
Sãhasí:
I'm proud that you take you're duty so seriously, Rani. But the Queen is very wise.
Ãnanda:
She wouldn't ask you to let them in if it wasn't okay.
Sãhasí:
Listen to her, Rani. She's preparing you to lead more than the Night Pride.
Ãnanda:
Yes. One day you will be Queen as well.
Rani: 
I know. You're right.
Sãhasí:
We know you'll do the right thing, Rani.
Ãnanda:
You always do.
Rani: 
Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Dad.
Ãnanda:
Of course.
Sãhasí:
You're welcome.
[Rani's parents spirits disappear and the scene cuts to the Night Pride running down the Mountain Pass]
Rani: 
Keep up. We need to find them before they've gone too far.
Baliyo: 
I still don't get why we're...
[The Night Pride stops running]
Nirmala: 
They cleared the pass.
Surak: 
And yet, they didn't continue any closer to the Tree of Life.
Rani: 
You're still here.
Kion: 
Yes. And I need to apologize. I'm sorry for using my Roar. And I undetstand if you won't allow me to enter. But could you let my friend Ono complete the journey to the Tree of Life? He wasn't part of the earlier fight. And his eyes need healing. Please?
[Ono comes up to Rani]
Rani: 
Oh. Of course we will welcome Ono.
Ono: 
Thank you.
Rani: 
But anyone who is willing to put their friend's  well-being before their own is worthy as well. Kion. You and your friends are all welcome at the Tree of Life.
Kion: 
Oh, thank you. 
Bunga: 
By the way? We're called the Lion Guard.
Baliyo: 
Lion Guard? You only got one lion.
Bunga: 
Yeah. You get use to it.
Rani: 
Very well. Kion? Lion Guard? Follow me.
[Everyone starts walking to the Tree of Life]
Baliyo: 
Hey, Kion. Just don't do that Roar thing at me again. Ever.
Kion: 
I won't. I promise.
Rani: 
[Rani turns her head to the Lion Guard and Makini] Lion Guard? We're here. Welcome to the Tree of Life. 
[The Lion Guard and Makini are shocked to see the Tree of Life and they reached their destination]
