The Trail to Udugu/Transcript

Kiara: 
(Kiara is seen hunting in the Pride Lands for her brother) (Sniffing) Hmm. Now I got ya. (Kiara pins Kion) (Laughing) Sorry, couldn't help myself. (Kiara gets off of Kion)
Kion: 
How'd you find me?
Kiara: 
Mom's been teaching me how to track by scent. Pretty good, huh?
Kion:
Or pretty lucky!
(Kion and Kiara try to pin each other)
Kion and Kiara:
(Laughing)
(Simba and Nala watch Kion and Kiara from on top of Pride Rock)
Simba: 
She's never found him that quickly before.
Nala: 
Her tracking skills are improving.
Simba: 
They do seem evenly matched.
Nala:
And that means they're ready. Today's the day.
(Simba and Nala jump down from Pride Rock)
(Kiara and Kion are seen playing with each other)
Kiara 
Ha! Missed again.
Nala:
Ahem.
Kiara: 
Mom! Dad! I caught him faster than ever this time.
Kion: 
Only because I let you.
Kiara: 
Oh, yeah? You gonna "let" me pin you, too?
Kion: 
(Grunts)
(Kion and Kiara try to pine each other)
Simba: 
Okay, okay. That's enough, you two.
Kiara: 
(Laughs) (Blows Raspberry)
Nala: 
I have a surprise for you. You're both coming with me on the Trail to Udugu.
Kiara: 
The Trail to Udugu?
Kion: 
Where's Udugu? I've never heard of it.
Kiara: 
Is it in the Pride Lands?
Nala: 
(Chuckles) You'll see.
Simba; 
Taking the Trail to Udugu is an important part of growing up in the royal family.
Nala: 
And all royal siblings make the journey when they're ready.
Kiara: 
Did you go on it, Dad?
Simba: 
I never had the chance. I don't have a brother or sister. And don't worry about your Lion Guard duties, Kion. While you're gone, I will be leading the Guard.
Kion: 
You will?
Simba: 
Perhaps your friends could learn a thing or two from their King.
Kion: 
Uh, sure. I know Bunga will love it.
(The scene transitions to inside of the lair of the Lion Guard Kion is seen talking to his friends)
Fuli: 
Simba?
Ono: 
His Royal Highness?
Beshte: 
Leading the Lion Guard?
(bunga jumps)
Bunga:
Un-Bunga-lievable!
Kion: 
Don't get too used to him. See you when I'm back from Udugu. (Kion leaves)
Beshte: 
Good luck.
Bunga: 
Bye, Kion!
Fuli: 
Bye.
Ono: 
See you soon!
Beshte: 
"Poa!" The King and us!
Fuli: 
(Fuli lies down) (Sighs) I'm not worried. He's just like Kion, but bigger.
Ono: 
How can you be so calm? His Majesty could be here any moment. (Gasps) My feathers! I need to clean up. (Preying nervously) (Ono cleans his feathers) "Hapana!" The whole lair's a mess!
Bunga: 
(Bunga looks at Fuli) Relax, Ono! I know Simba pretty well. And you've got nothing to worry about. Let me tell ya what he's like.
(Music starts)
Bunga:
¶ You know you're in the presence of greatness
(Bunga looks at a painting of Simba)
¶ When you're running with the King
(Simba and Bunga ride on an elephant and zebras bow)
¶ Animals bow down before him
(Birds fly around)
¶ Birds flutter and sing
(Birds Chirp)
(Simba takes a bath)
¶ Everyone all over the Pride Lands
(Elephants blow their trunks into Simba's bath. Bunga is also in the bath)
¶ Lets you do anything
(Bunga and Simba jump out of the bath)
¶ You know you're in the presence of greatness
(Bunga and Simba ride on logs in the water)
¶ When you're running with the King
(Bunga and Simba slide down a waterfall)
(Simba is seen relaxing in the leaves)
¶ Things'll be so great
¶ Hanging with lion number one
(Bunga swings on a vine and pass some monkeys)
¶ We'll live like we're kings
¶ The big old tree of fun
(Monkeys feed Simba and Bunga)
¶ Get our food for free no need to hunt or run
(Simba and Bunga are seen enjoying the water)
¶ The only thing to do is
¶ Lie under the sun
(Rafiki makes mud sculptures of Bunga and Simba)
¶ You know you're in the presence of greatness ¶ When you're running with the King
(Giraffes bow at Simba)
¶ Animals bow down before him
(Birds put a leaf cape on Simba)
¶ Birds flutter and sing
(Simba and Mtoto's mom are seen running)
¶ Everyone all over the Pride Lands
(Simba knocks a tree branch into Mtoto's mom)
Mtoto's mom:
(Trumpets)
(Bunga rides on Mbuni)
¶ Lets you do anything
¶ You know you're in the presence of greatness
(Simba is seen running through the Pride Lands. Bunga follows him on Mbuni)
¶ When you're running with the King
¶ Maybe it's the smile or his fabulous shiny mane
(Bumga is seen hanging from Simba's main)
¶ Or the way he walks that helps his claim to fame
¶ In the end it don't matter it's really all the same
(Simba tries to get a bee off his noise and accidentally knocks Rafiki onto some vines)
¶ 'Cause if the King makes mistakes
(Rafiki tells Simba not to worry and Simba smiles)
¶ He never takes the blame
(Bunga walks like Simba)
¶ You know you're in the presence of greatness
¶ When you're running with the King
(Simba walks on turtles)
¶ Animals bow down before him
(Bunga and birds follows Simba on the turles)
¶ Birds flutter and sing
(Back in the Lair of the Lion Guard Bunga tries to make his hair like Simba's)
¶ Everyone all over the Pride Lands
(Bunga walks under Simba)
¶ Lets you do anything
¶ 'Cause you know you're in the presence of greatness
¶ When you're running with the King ¶
(Music ends)
Simba: 
Ahem.
Bunga:
(Bunga turns around) Oh... (Chuckles) Hey there, Simba. Um, uh, Your Highness.
(Everyone bows)
Ono: 
Sir.
Beshte: And Fuli: 
Your Majesty.
Simba: 
Hello, Lion Guard. I will admit, Bunga did get one thing right in his... ...performance.
Bunga: 
The way you walk? Your smile? (Bunga plays with his hair) Your fabulously groomed mane?
Simba: 
Uh, no. I am excited to lead the Lion Guard. Now, first things first. Are we ready for morning patrol?
Beshte: 
Yes, sir!
Fuli: 
Definitely!
Ono 
Affirmative! Uh... Your Majesty.
Simba: 
Then let's move out. Lion Guard, follow me.
Bunga: 
You heard him, let's go!
(Simba and the Lion Guard leave)
(The scene transitions to Nala, Kion and Kiara and they are seen walking)
Nala: 
This is nice. It's been so long since the three of us have spent some time together.
Kion:
What do you think's waiting for us in Udugu?
Kiara: 
Maybe a bunch of animals who want to meet their future Queen... And her little brother.
Kion: 
"Little brother?" I'm leader of the Lion Guard! If they'd wanna meet anyone, it's me.
Kiara: 
We'll see about that. Race ya!
(Kiara and Kion start racing)
Kion: 
You're gonna lose. I run with Fuli every day. I'll get to Udugu first!
Kiara: 
Oh, no, you won't! (Grunting)
Nala:
You two could compete over anything, couldn't you?
Kion: and Kiara: 
Yes!
Nala: 
(Sighs) At least you agree on that. Come on. We have a long way to go.
(Eagles Screeching)
(The scene transitions to Simba and Lion Guard who are seen walking in the Pride Lands)
Ono: 
Uh, Your Majesty?
Simba: 
Yes, Ono?
Ono: 
Well, it's not a big deal... But, uh...
Fuli: 
Ono's trying to say that on morning patrol, Kion usually goes this way.
Simba:
Is that so? And is Kion here?
(The lion guard all look at each other)
Beshte: 
No, sir.
Bunga: 
You heard the King. We'll go this way for a change. It'll be fun.
Simba: 
Yes. "Fun."
(The Lion Guard and SImba walks another way)
(The scene transitions back to Nala, Kiara and Kion who are seen walking)
Kion: 
Mom, how much longer will it take to get to Udugu?
Nala: 
That's a tough question. Udugu isn't easy to find.
Kiara:
Don't worry, I'll find it. I'm a better tracker than you.
Kion: 
We'll see about that! 
Kion and Kiara: 
(Laughing)
(Kiara and Kion chase each other)
Kion: 
You really think you can find Udugu before me?
Kiara: 
Just watch me.
(Kiara and Kion run)
Nala: 
Kion, Kiara, be careful!
Kion and Kiara: 
(Gasps)
(Kiara and Kion hang onto a cliff and Nala helps pull them up)
Nala: 
I got you.
Kiara: 
Thanks.
Kion: 
Thanks, mom.
Nala: 
That is definitely not the way to find Udugu.
(The scene transitions back to Simba and Lion Guard are seen walking)
(Rumbling in distance)
(Ono looks at the trouble)
(Mud slide heads towards the ostriches nest)
Ono: 
(Gasps) "Hapana!" Everyone, look! A...
Simba: 
A mud slide! Straight ahead!
Ono: 
Uh, yes, sire. And the mud's headed right for...
Simba:
The ostrich herd's nest! If we don't move fast, the mud will sweep the eggs off the cliff!
Ono: 
Affirmative. I was just about to say that.
Simba:
We'll have to act fast. I'll move that log, so it diverts the mud away from the nest!
Fuli: 
What should we do?
Simba:
Just stick together and follow me. (Simba goes ahead)
Fuli: 
Just stick together and follow him?
Bunga 
That's what he said.
Beshte:
And he is the King.
(The ostriches are seen screaming and running around)
Mbuni: 
Our eggs! Our eggs!
Simba:
(Simba jumps from rock to rock) This way, Lion Guard! Jump from rock to rock!
Beshte: 
Uh, jump from rock to rock? Usually, Kion just has me run through the mud.
Fuli: 
Yeah, but Kion's not in charge right now. Simba is. (Fuli follows Simba)
Simba:
Lion Guard, come on!
Bunga: 
And it sounds like he really wants us to follow him.
Ono: 
Just try your best?
(Bunga and Ono follow Simba)
Beshte: 
Okay. Here goes. "Twende Kiboko!" Oh!
(Beshte tries to jump from rock to rock but crashes into Bunga)
Bunga: 
(Grunts)
Beshte: 
Whoa!
(Bunga and Beshte slide into Fuli and Ono)
Fuli: 
(Yelps)
Simba: 
(Simba moves the log) There. That should do the trick. Now let's continue our patrol. Lion Guard, follow me!
(All Screaming)
(The Lion Guard slides down the mud)
Ono: 
We're gonna hit the log!
(The Lion Guard hits the log and the log rolls towards the nest)
Simba:
Lion Guard, the log! It's rolling towards the nest!
Fuli: 
I'll grab the eggs! (Fuli tries to get the log but gets stuck in mud) (Grunts) Or maybe I won't.
Ono: 
(Ono is stuck in mud) There's too much mud. I can't fly.
Beshte: 
I got this. (Grunting) (Beshte stops the log)
Bunga: 
Good thinking, Big B! Now the log's not gonna roll over the eggs.
Ono: 
But the log was protecting the eggs from the mud.
Beshte: 
Oh, no!
Bunga: 
(Gasps) Grab the eggs!
(Beshte, Bunga, Fuli and Ono grab the eggs)
Ono: 
(Gasps) We missed one!
(One egg moves away and Simba grabs it)
Simba:
I have it! Ostriches, your eggs are safe.
Mbuni: 
Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you. To think our eggs were personally saved by the King! What an honor!
Simba: 
It was my pleasure, Mbuni. 
(Simba and the Lion Guard get out of the mud)
Simba: 
So, our first mission was a success.
Beshte: 
Uh, yes, Your Majesty.
Bunga: 
Yeah!
Fuli: 
Yep.
Ono: 
Affirmative. 
(The scene transitions back to Nala, Kiara and Kion are seen at a thorn bush)
Kion: 
Is this really the trail to Udugu?
Nala: 
It is.
Kiara: 
If you tell us where Udugu is, I bet I can find an easier path.
Nala: 
There is no easy path to Udugu. But there is a way to get through all these thorns without a scratch. See?
Kion: 
(Kion crawls through the thorn bushes) Yeah! I can crawl under the branches to get through the thorns. Ow. (Grunts) Ouch!
Nala: 
That wasn't exactly what I meant.
Kiara: 
(Kiara tries to walk on the thorns) (Chuckles) Of course not. Over the thorns is the way to go. (Grunts) Whoa! Ouch!
Nala: 
I don't think either of you is understanding me.
Kion:
What's wrong, Kiara? Isn't your... (Grunting) ... plan working?
Kiara: 
I'm... Ow! ... fine. I know exactly... (Yelps) ... what I'm doing.
Nala: 
I hope they make it. (Nala disappears) 
Kion: 
This is definitely... (Grunts) ... the right way, Kiara. I'm almost through!
Kiara: 
And I'm almost at the branch. After that it'll be... (Groans)... easy! Right, Mom? (Kiara sees Nala isn't there) Mom?
Kion: 
Mom?
Kiara: and Kion: 
(Groaning and grunting) 
(Kion and Kiara get out of the thorn bushes)
Kiara: and Kion: 
Mom?
Nala:
(Nala watches from a distance) Now they're truly on the Trail to Udugu.
(The scene transitions back to Simba and Lion Guard are seeng walking)
Simba: 
That was so exciting. Your first rescue with the King. (Simba looks at the Lion Guard and they smile at him) I wonder what our next challenge will be. Well, let's go, Lion Guard.
Beshte: 
At least he's not mad at us for almost losing that egg.
Fuli: 
Why should he be? It's not your fault you can't jump like a lion. What's the point of being a team if we're all gonna do the same thing?
Bunga: 
Fuli, he's the King! He's gotta know what he's doing... Doesn't he?
Beshte: 
Maybe we just need to do it more Simba's way?
Ono: 
(Ono uses his vision and spots the gazelles in trouble) Everyone! Everyone! The gazelles...
Simba: 
The gazelles need our help! Lion Guard, follow me!
Ono: 
(Sighs) That's what I was going to say...
(Kiara and Kion are seen looking for Nala)
Kiara: 
Mom? Mom! No sign of Mom on my side. Have you found anything? Kion?
Kion:
Nothing over here.
Kiara: 
(Sighs softly) How could she just disappear? Mom!
Kion: 
We'll find her. We just have to keep looking. Try your side again.
Kiara: 
I tried my side. If she was there I'd have seen her.
Kion: 
I know, I just... I can't find her either. If we knew where this Udugu place was, maybe we could meet her there.
Kiara: 
Or we could track her. (Sniffing) Got her! She went this way. Come on! (Sniffs)
Kion: 
(Kion spots Nala's paw prints) Kiara, look! Paw prints. They look fresh. We must be getting close.
Kiara: 
Come on. (Sniffing)
Kiara: 
What? They just stop right here?
(The paw prints from Nala end at a rock)
Kion: 
"Hevi kabisa!" Where did Mom go?
(The scene transitions to Simba and the Lion Guard goes after the gazelles)
Simba: 
The gazelles are just over the next ridge. There!
Ono: 
(Ono uses his vision and looks at the gazelles) Swala and the other gazelles must be looking for a route up to that grassland. But those rocks...
Simba: 
They're unstable. The rocks will fall if the gazelles jump on them. Lion Guard, follow me!
Beshte: 
Should we remind him how easily gazelles spook when they're surprised?
Bunga: 
Nah! Simba knows what he's doing. It'll be fine.
Swala: 
(Swala sees something coming not realizing it's Simba) What's that? Something's coming!
All Gazelles: 
(Panicked) Something's coming! Something's coming! Something's coming!
(The gazelles start to run) 
Simba: 
They're spooked. Now we really need to hurry. Lion Guard, follow me!
(Ground rumbling)
Ono: 
Everyone, stop! The cliff is collapsing!
Fuli: 
Ono, warn Simba!
Ono: 
Affirmative! (Ono goes to warn Simba)
(The rocks fall and Simba gets buried in dirt) 
Ono: 
(Ono looks for Simba) (Gasps) Oh, no! Simba! Your Majesty? Simba!
Simba: 
(Simba pops up) (Coughing) Good to see you, Ono.
Ono: 
Your Majesty! Everyone, he's over here.
(The rest of the lion guard come up)
Beshte:
Are you all right?
Simba: 
I'm okay. Just a little stuck.
(Simba's tail gets stuck and the lion guard look at each other)
(The scene transitions back to Kiara and Kion try to find Nala)
Kion: 
This can't be right. Mom couldn't just disappear.
Kiara: 
I don't get it. We followed her trail. How can it just end?
Kion:
(Kion notices a ledge) Maybe it doesn't. There's a ledge and a trail. I bet Mom jumped up there.
Kiara: 
Then we will too. Ready?
Kion: 
One, two, three!
Kiara: and Kion: 
(Kiara and Kion try to jump but can't) (Grunting)
Kiara: 
Not even close.
Kion:
If Mom could get up there, we can too.
Kiara: 
Mom's twice our size, Kion. How can we keep tracking her if we can't jump up?
Kion: 
I've got it! I'll give you a boost, then you can keep tracking her.
Kiara: 
But what about you?
Kion: 
One of us has to boost the other, and the truth is... You're the better tracker.
Kiara: 
I won't argue that. Though you're the one who saw the tracks and figured out Mom jumped.
Kion: 
So we make a good team. And that's how we'll find Mom, by working together. (Kion lifts up Kiara) Now up you go.
Kiara: 
(Straining) Whoa!
Kion:
I gotcha! Hang on.
Kiara: 
(Straining) Just a little closer.
Kion: 
How's that?
Kiara: 
(Kiara tries to reach the ledge) (Straining) I think I'm gonna make it. (Kiara touches the ledge) Yes! (Panting)
Kion:
We did it!
Kiara: 
(Kiara hops on the ledge and sees Nala) (Gasps) I don't believe it.
Kion: 
Kiara, what's going on?
Nala: 
(Nala pops her head out) Hello down there.
Kion: 
(Chuckles) Mom! 
(Nala jumps down and hugs Kion)
Kion: 
Mom, why did you disappear? I thought you were gonna show us the way to Udugu.
Nala: 
Actually, I think you've already found Udugu.
Kiara:
We have?
Kion:
Is it that big rock?
Nala: 
No, Kion. Come on down, Kiara, and I'll explain.
Kiara: 
Uh, okay. (Kiara jumps down from the rock)
Nala: 
You see, kids, Udugu isn't a place. Udugu is another word for kinship. It's the special bond between siblings. You found Udugu when you decided to work together to look for me.
Kion: 
We did?
Nala: 
Yes. And I'm very proud of you.
(Kion and Kiara smile at each other)
(The scene transitions back to Simba and the Lion Guard and Bunga sees Simba's tail stuck)
Bunga: 
Un-Bunga-lievable. You're one lucky lion. You could have gotten smushed.
Beshte: 
Don't worry, Your Majesty. We'll get you free.
(Ostriches Screaming)
Ono: 
That sounds like...
Simba: 
Ostriches!
(Ono uses his vision and looks at the trouble)
Ono: 
(Gasps) "Hapana!" It's... Oh, uh...
Simba: 
Well? It's what?
Ono: 
Sorry. I thought you were going to say it. The gazelles! They're stampeding straight for the ostriches and their nest!
Fuli: 
Bad day to be an ostrich egg.
Beshte: 
Your Majesty, what do we do?
Simba: 
You have to stop the gazelles.
Bunga: 
And leave you here?
Simba: 
I'll be fine. You need to hurry.
(Rocks tumbling)
Ono: 
(Ono spots the rocks) Everyone, heads up!
Fuli: 
(Gasps) (Fuli pulls Bunga out of the way)
(Crashes)
Fuli: and Bunga: 
(Coughing)
Bunga: 
Whew! Thanks, Fuli.
Fuli: 
Thank Ono. He saw the boulder.
Ono: 
We all try to do what we do best.
Beshte: 
That's why we're a great team.
Simba: 
That is why, isn't it?
Fuli: 
We can't leave Simba here. It's not safe.
Beshte:
But he told us to go after the gazelles.
Simba: 
Lion Guard! All day I've been telling you to follow me, and do what I do. But that's not how your team works. So tell me. If I were Kion, how would you handle this?
Fuli: 
We'd split up. Ono and I would go after the herd. Beshte and Bunga would stay to free you.
Simba:
Then those are my orders.
Bunga: 
Wait, wait, wait, wait! There's one more thing Kion would do. Right?
Simba: 
Till the Pride Lands end...
All: 
Lion Guard defend!
(Gazelles are seen coming towards the ostriches)
(Panicked screaming)
(Fuli and Ono run towards the trouble)
Fuli: 
I'll calm the ostriches. You talk to the gazelles.
Ono: 
Affirmative! Just remember, be soft and soothing.
Fuli:
You know me! Hey, ostriches! Ostriches! Ostriches!
(Screaming continues)
Fuli: 
(Shouts) Quiet!
(Screaming Stops)
(The ostriches stop running)
Fuli: 
(Sighs) That's better.
Ono: 
(Ono follows Swala's herd) Hello? Swala, gazelles, please slow down.
Swala: 
What's that, Ono? Can't hear you.
Ono: 
(Clears throat) I said...
Swala: 
Whoa! Everybody, I can't hear Ono. Quiet! Stop! 
(The gazelles stop running)
Swala: 
Now, what were you saying, Ono?
Ono: 
Uh, never mind. 
(Fuli and Ono walk away)
Ono: 
That was weird. How'd you calm the ostriches?
Fuli: 
Soft and soothing. Just like you said.
Bunga: 
Don't worry, Your Highness. We'll have you out of there in no time. (Softly) Careful, Big B. If you let the boulder roll the wrong way it'll squish him.
Simba: 
Bunga, you know I can hear you, right?
Bunga:
Uh, sure, I knew that. Did you know that?
Beshte: 
Yep. (Beshte tries to pick up the rock "Twende Kiboko!" (Grunts)
Bunga: 
(Bunga pulls out Simba's tail) All clear!
(Rocks Rumbling)
Bunga:
Uh-oh. Let's get out of here!
(Simba, Bunga and Beshte run)
(All panting) 
Bunga: 
Whoo! That was un-Bunga-lievable! I kinda wanna do it again.
(Simba rolls his eyes)
(Fuli and Ono come up)
Fuli: 
Nice job, guys. Simba's safe, and so are the gazelles and ostriches.
Simba: 
That's because you did it your way. Kion would be proud of you. And so am I.
(The Lion Guard all smile at each other)
(The scene transitions and Kion, Kiara and Nala walk up Pride Rock)
Simba: 
So, everyone, how was your journey? Did you find Udugu?
Kion: 
We found it. But it's not really a place.
Kiara: 
It's about us working together as brother and sister. As a team.
Kion:
How did things go with the Guard?
Simba: 
Well, in a way, the Guard helped me find Udugu, too.
Nala: 
It's an important lesson.
Simba: 
It is, especially for you two. And as Queen of the Pride Lands and leader of the Lion Guard, someday you will be responsible for all of this.
(Simba, Nala, Kiara and Kion all look at the Pride Lands)
Nala: 
So hold on to what you learned today. Then you'll always have Udugu.
