The Little Guy/Transcript

(The crocodiles practice their moves) 
Male Crocodile: 
(Growling)
Male Crocodile #2:
(Growling)
Male Crocodile: 
(Grunts)
(Male Crocodile is fighting with the other crocodile)
Makuu: 
Now, while he's down! Jaw vise!
Male Crocodile: 
(Yells)
(Both Grunt)
Makuu: 
Tail whip, now!
Male Crocodile: 
(Grunts)
(The Lion Guard shows up)
Ono: 
Over here!
Bunga: 
Whoa! It's a crocodile smackdown! Who do you think's gonna win?
Kion: 
I think we better break it up before someone gets hurt. Come on.
(The Lion Guard goes to stop the crocodiles)
Crocodiles: 
(Grunts)
Fuli: 
(Fuli stops the crocodiles) Take it easy, crocs.
Makuu: 
(Makuu sees Fuli) Lion Guard. What are you doing?
Kion: 
Crocodiles! That's enough.
Hodari: 
(Hodari jumps on Beshte's noise) Beshte! Lion Guard! Stop!
(The rest of the lion guard stops)
Beshte: 
Hodari, what's wrong?
Hodari:
Nothing's wrong. The crocs are just practicing.
Kion:
Uh, practicing?
Hodari: 
Yeah! They spar with each other to work on their technique.
Ono: 
(Ono lands next to Hodari) He's right, Kion. I forgot.
Hodari: 
It's the crocodile way. (Hodari licks his face)
Kion: 
(Kion walks up to Makuu) Sorry, Makuu. We didn't know you were just sparring.
Makuu: 
Apparently. Crocodiles! Did I say you could stop?
(The crocodiles being to fight)
(All grunting)
Makuu: 
No. No, no. Swing your tail fast. Like this. (Makuu swings his tail) See?
Hodari: 
Fast, like this! (Hodari tries to swing his tail but hits himself) Argh!
Beshte: 
You okay, Hodari?
Hodari: 
Yeah. That was the Wide Tailspin. Still working on it.
Beshte: 
You'll get there.
Hodari: 
Maybe. (Hodari climbs up on Beshte and then the tree) But I'll never be as good as a crocodile. They're so big and strong, and I'm... Tiny.
Beshte: 
Oh, come on! You're the perfect size for a gecko. And geckos can do stuff crocs can't.
Hodari: 
But I wanna be part of a crocodile float. It's my dream! "Hodari, the crocodile." Or honorary crocodile, at least.
Beshte: 
Well, I guess everybody should have a dream.
(Rumbling)
(A herd of buffaloes past by)
Buffaloes: 
(Whining)
Ono: 
Kion!
Kion:
 I see 'em! Makuu! Incoming!
Makuu: 
(Gasps) Crocodiles! Get to higher ground!
(Makuu's crocodiles climb up the rocks and the Lion Guard go to the other side)
(The herd runs through)
(Herd grunting)
Ono: 
"Hapana!" The stampede is causing a rock slide!
Kion: 
"Heyvi Kabisa!" Look out! Fuli, Ono, calm down the buffalo.
Ono: 
On it.
Fuli: 
You got it, Kion.
(Fuli and Ono go calm down the herd)
Kion: 
Beshte, Bunga, you're with me.
(Kion and Bunga go to help the crocodiles)
(Beshte goes up to Hodari)
Beshte: 
Stay here, little guy.
(Crocodiles get stuck)
Crocodiles: 
Whoa! Argh!
Male Crocodile # 2: 
(Grunts)
Kion: 
Hold on, croc! I'm coming.
Makuu:
I got this! (Grunts) (Makuu tries to help his float but gets hurt) Argh!
Hodari: 
(Hodari puts his hands on his face) Oh, no. Makuu!
Makuu: 
(Panting)
Kion: 
Makuu, you okay?
Makuu: 
(Groans) My float's safe. That's what's important. Thanks for your help. (Grunts)
(Makuu tries to walk but struggles Kion and Bunga look at each other)
Makuu: 
(Bone cracks) (Winces) Crocodiles, break's over! Back to your sparring positions.
Kion: 
Fuli, Ono, cape buffalo okay?
Ono: 
Affirmative.
Kion: Great. Now that everyone's safe, let's get back to our morning patrol.
(The Lion Guard started to leave but Hodari stops Beshte)
Hodari: Beshte! Beshte, wait. I just got a great idea.
Beshte: Oh, yeah? You guys go ahead. I'll catch up.
Kion: Okay, Beshte.
(The rest of the lion guard leave)
Beshte: 
So what's your idea, Hodari?
Hodari: 
Well, Makuu is injured, which means that he's hurt, which means that he might need some extra help right now, which means it's my big chance! I'm going to ask Makuu if I can join his float.
Beshte: 
Well, if being part of a croc float is what you've always dreamed of, I say go for it, little guy.
Hodari: 
I will. Okay. You got this. You got this. You... Wait, Beshte. You know Makuu, right? Can you introduce me to him?
Beshte: 
Sure.
Crocodiles: 
(Both growling)
(Beshte and Hodari walks up to to Makuu)
Beshte: 
Hey, uh, Makuu?
Makuu:
Beshte. What's that?
Beshte: 
This is my friend, Hodari, and he has something he wants to ask you.
Makuu: 
(Sighs) Make it quick. I'm busy.
Hodari: 
Um, Makuu? Sir, I... I thought if you might be hurt, that you might need... If... If you gave me a chance, I could... That is...
Makuu: 
Spit it out, gecko.
Hodari:
Can I be in your float? I think I could really help out.
Makuu: 
(Chuckles) You? How would you be able to help a crocodile float?
(Guitar strums)
Hodari:
 (Hodari looks at his hands) ¶ I might be small
¶ But don't judge me by my size
¶ 'Cause deep down, Yeah, deep, deep down
¶ My heart's much bigger than most guys'
(Upbeat music playing)
(Hodari surfs on a leaf)
¶ It don't much matter If you're short or you're tall (Hodari rubs his heart) ¶ 'Cause what's in your heart matters most of all ¶ I know you might not believe a word I say
¶ And that's the reason why I'm here today
(Hodari dances on Beshte)
¶ Yeah, it might seem crazy at first glance
(Hodari stands on Beshte's noise)
¶ But it's so much more than a song and a dance
¶ You gotta look beyond my small stance
¶ So come on, now ¶ Give a little guy a chance (Hodari stands on a tree) ¶ I climb sheer rock sides And I hang upside down (Hodari jumps in a log) ¶ I can fit inside logs with room to jump around
(Hodari hides in leafs)
¶ When I hide in trees I'm almost too small to see
(Hodari stands on Male Crocodile) 
¶ I can sneak all over because I'm me
(Shupavu and Njano watch Hodari) 
¶ Yeah, it might seem crazy at first glance
(Hodari jumps from a tree on Beshte)
¶ But it's so much more than a song and a dance
¶ You gotta look beyond my small stance
¶ So come on, now ¶ Give a little guy a chance (Hodari swims in the water with the crocodiles) ¶ But what I want most of all ¶ Is to be a crocodile ¶ Yeah, that's what I want most of all ¶ And I'll be standing tall, So, so tall
¶ Yeah, it might seem crazy at first glance
(Hodari dances on Makuu's noise)
¶ But it's so much more than a song and a dance
¶ You gotta look beyond my small stance
(Hodari dances)
¶ So come on, now ¶ Give a little guy a chance
Chorus: ¶ A little guy a chance
Hodari: (Vocalizing)
Chorus: ¶ A little guy a chance
Hodari: ¶ So come on, now ¶ Give a little guy a chance ¶
(Music ends)
(All laughing)
(Hodari is shocked)
Makuu: 
(Coughs) That's very funny, Beshte. For a second, I thought your gecko friend was serious.
Beshte: 
It's not a joke. Can't you just give Hodari a chance?
Makuu: 
(Chuckles) A tiny gecko, part of a crocodile float? Ridiculous.
Hodari: 
But... But...
Makuu:
It's not the crocodile way, gecko. Now get outta here before you get squished.
(Hodari leaves)
Beshte: 
Gee, Makuu. You didn't have to hurt his feelings. Hey, Hodari! Come back!
(Beshte follows Hodari with the skinks watching)
Njano: 
(Chuckling) A gecko that wants to be a crocodile! Now that's funny.
Shupavu: 
Funny, or genius?
Njano:
Uh, pretty sure it's funny.
Shupavu: 
Makuu's not the only crocodile leader around. Perhaps Kiburi would like to meet that gecko.
Njano: 
He would?
Shupavu: 
(Chuckles) A gecko that's friends with the Lion Guard could be a useful addition to his float. And it could cause havoc in the Pride Lands.
Njano: 
Ooh, I know who would like that!
Shupavu: and Njano: 
Scar.
Shupavu: 
Come on, let's go get that gecko.
(Shupavu and Njano follows Hodari)
Beshte: 
Hey, Hodari! Where'd you go? Hodari
Ono: 
(Ono comes up to Beshte) Beshte! Beshte! The galagos are in trouble!
Beshte: 
Oh, no! Lead the way, Ono!
(Hodari is seen walking)
(Leaves rustling)
Hodari: 
Who's there? Don't make me use my crocodile moves. (Hodari tries to do his crocodile moves) (Grunts)
(The skinks come out)
Shupavu: 
Relax, gecko. We come in peace. Though I couldn't help but overhear... Makuu doesn't want you in his float?
Hodari: 
Yeah, I don't blame him. A gecko in a crocodile float is ridiculous. Ah, I should just forget the whole thing.
Shupavu: 
I wouldn't give up so easily, if I were you.
Hodari: 
Why not?
Shupavu: 
Makuu doesn't have the only float around, you know. In fact, I know a croc who would love to have you in his float.
Hodari: 
You do? He would?
Shupavu: 
Sure. He knows how much a bright, young gecko has to offer. You wanna meet him?
Hodari:
Sure!
Shupavu: 
Njano, why don't you go on ahead? Tell Kiburi what a special candidate we have for his float.
Njano: 
Good idea.
(Njano goes to the Outlands)
Shupavu: 
Come on, Hodari. Let's go.
(Laini and gallagos are stuck in a bush)
(Beshte walks up to the tree)
Laini: 
Help! Help!
Kion: 
Laini and two other galagos are under the tree hollow.
Beshte: 
Are they okay?
Kion: 
They're fine, but they're stuck.
Beshte: Not for long. "Twende kiboko!"
(Beshte lifts the tree)
Bunga: 
Come on out of there, gally-alagos.
(Bunga pulls out the galagos)
Galago: 
Yay! We're free! Whoo-hoo!
Bunga: 
Laini? (Bunga reaches for a galago but gets a bug instead) Ooh, you're not a galago.
Fuli: 
Bunga, focus. (Fuli pulls out Laini)
Laini: 
Whoo! We're free! Thank you, Lion Guard.
Beshte: 
(Beshte puts down the tree) No problem, Laini.
Fuli: 
It's what we do.
Kion: 
All right, Lion Guard. Let's get back on patrol.
Bunga: 
See you! Watch out for falling trees!
(The Lion Guard leaves and continues their patrol)
(The scene transitions to the Outlands and Njano is talking to Kiburi about Hodari)
Njano: 
Trust me, this guy's gonna be great for your float! He knows all about Makuu and his crocs. And all their fighting techniques.
Kiburi: 
So do I. But what good does that do me if the Lion Guard won't let me back into the Pride Lands?
Njano: 
This guy's a friend of the Lion Guard. I'll bet he can help you get past 'em.
Kiburi: 
A crocodile that's friends with the Lion Guard? Interesting.
Njano: 
And here he is.
(Hodari walks in with Shupavu) 
Kiburi: 
(Kiburi is shocked) I thought you said he was a crocodile.
Njano: 
No, you said that. Trust me. You can totally use this guy to take down Makuu.
Kiburi: Hmm. Njano tells me you wanna be part of my float.
Hodari: 
Yes. It's my dream. (Hodari stands up)
(Music starts playing)
¶ It don't much matter if you're short or you're tall... ¶
(Music stops)
Kiburi: 
(Kiburi picks up on arm) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No singing. If you wanna be a crocodile, you have to show me you can fight.
Hodari:
You mean, the traditional crocodile initiation spar?
Kiburi: 
That's right. Tamka here will be your sparring partner.
Tamka: 
(Growls
Hodari: 
(Hodari dances) You got this. You got this.
(Kiburi walks up to Tamka)
Kiburi: 
Let the little guy win. (Tamaka and Hodari get ready) Ready? Begin.
Hodari: 
Wide Tailspin! (Hodari swings his tail and hits Tamka)
(Kiburi nods)
Tamka: 
(Tamka falls to the ground) Oh, the agony! You have beaten me!
Hodari: 
Wow! I must be stronger than I thought. (Hodari puts his hands together0 Who's next?
Kiburi: 
Okay, that's enough. Hodari, you have won the initiation spar.
Hodari: 
(Hodari moves his legs) Really? Really? No, wait... Really?
Kiburi: 
Good job, little gecko. You are now part of my crocodile float.
Hodari: 
I'm a crocodile! Who's a crocodile? I'm a crocodile! (Hodari jumps up and down) (Chuckles) Uh, you know... Sort of. (Sighs)
Kiburi: 
Njano says you're friends with the Lion Guard.
Hodari: 
(Hodari looks to the side) Oh, yeah. Especially Beshte. He's the best.
Kiburi: 
Wow. Maybe we'll run into them and you can say hello.
Hodari: 
Where are we going?
Kiburi: 
To the Pride Lands. I've had enough of this mud. We're going to a real watering hole.
(The scene transitions and the Lion Guard is seen walking in the Pride Lands)
(Beshte looks sad)
Kion: 
Hey, Beshte. You okay?
Beshte: 
Yeah. I just feel bad about Hodari.
Fuli: 
Your gecko buddy?
Beshte: 
Yeah. His dream was to join Makuu's float. I told him to go for it, but they just laughed at him.
Fuli:
 Well, yeah. They're crocodiles.
Kion: 
It's not your fault, Beshte. You were just being a good friend.
Beshte: 
I guess. But he seemed really upset.
Ono: 
"Hapana!" (Ono uses his vision and spots Kiburi's float in the Pride Lands) Everyone! Everyone! Kiburi and his crocs, they're back in the Pride Lands.
Kion: 
Oh no you're right Ono well whatever they're doing we're going to get them out come on Till the Pride Lands end...
All:
 Lion Guard defend!
(The Lion Guard go to talk to Kiburi)
(Kiburi's float is seen walking in the Pride Lands and Kion and Ono spring into action)
Kion:
Kiburi. Why are you back in the Pride Lands?
Kiburi: 
Just visiting. Saying hello to some old friends.
Fuli: 
You don't have any friends here.
Kiburi: 
Speaking of friends, have you met the newest member of my float?
(The crocodiles step aside to show Hodari)
Beshte: 
(In shocked) Hodari?
Hodari: 
Oh, hey, Beshte! Look, I made it! I'm with the crocs now.
Beshte: 
It can't be.
Kiburi: 
See? Hodari's our friend, he's your friend, too. So doesn't that make us all friends?
Bunga: 
No way! Wait, it doesn't, right?
Kiburi: 
So, if you'll just step aside, we'll be on our way...
Kion: 
I really mean it, Kiburi. You and your crocs need to leave the Pride Lands. Now.
Kion: and Kiburi: 
(Growls)
Tamka: 
Kiburi?
Kiburi: 
Float, follow me.
(The crocodiles start to leave)
Hodari: 
Wh... What's going on here? Hey!
Kion: 
Beshte, make sure Hodari's okay. Now, let's go make sure Kiburi's float really does leave the Pride Lands
Beshte: 
(Beshte walks up to Hodari) Hodari, what are you doing with Kiburi and his crocs?
Hodari: 
Didn't you hear Kiburi? I'm part of his float now. Why did you chase them away?
Beshte: 
'Cause Simba banished them to the Outlands after they tried to take him down. They're bad guys, Hodari.
Hodari: 
No! Kiburi was nice to me, and we were just looking for water.
Beshte: 
Hodari, you gotta trust me on this one.
Hodari: 
But you said I should join a crocodile float. Now that I did, you're saying I'm a bad guy?
Beshte: 
I'm not saying you're bad...
Hodari: 
Yes, you are. You said I should follow my dreams, and I did. Maybe you're not my friend after all. (Hodari leaves)
Beshte: 
No, Hodari! Wait! (Beshte watches his friend leave sadly)
(The scene transitions back to the Outlands and the crocodiles are seen talking)
Tamka: 
I thought the gecko was gonna get us past the Lion Guard.
Nduli: 
At least he stalled 'em. They looked confused.
Kiburi: 
We just have to move fast and take down Makuu before the Lion Guard even knows we're in the Pride Lands.
(Hodari returns to the crocodiles)
Hodari: 
Kiburi! Crocs! I'm back.
Kiburi: 
Hodari? We thought maybe you decided to stay with your Lion Guard friends.
Hodari: 
They're not my friends anymore. I'm with your float now.
Tamka: 
Ooh. Like that's gonna do us any good.
Kiburi:
 It might. Watch. Hodari, you have so many crocodile moves. You gotta tell us everything you learned from Makuu's float.
Hodari: 
Oh, wow. There's so much. You should see the new moves they're working on. Like the (Hodari tries to swing his tail) Wide...Tailspin! Most of the crocs can't do it as good as me. Oh, and Makuu has been doing this crazy new move. (Hodari wiggles his tail) But I don't think he can do that move. His front leg is hurt pretty bad. (Kiburi and Tamka are shocked) Oh, oh, and there's this move, too! But I don't think he can do that one, either.
Kiburi: 
Makuu's hurt? This will definitely be useful.
Hodari: 
Useful for what?
Kiburi: 
(Chuckles) Oh, you'll see
(The scene transitions and the Lion Guard walks to Makuu's Watering Hole)
Makuu: 
Kion.
Kion: 
Makuu. Thought you should know, we saw Kiburi and his float heading your way earlier.
Makuu:
Kiburi? (Makuu rolls his eyes) Ugh.
Kion: 
We chased them back to the Outlands, but they might be back.
Makuu: 
I can handle Kiburi if I need to. (Makuu tries to walk but struggles) (Bones crack) (Grunts)
Fuli: 
Not so sure about that.
Beshte:
And Hodari's with Kiburi now. I wouldn't want him to get hurt.
Makuu: 
Hodari? Who's he?
Bunga: 
You know, little gecko, about yea high.
Makuu: 
That little guy? If he wants to be with crocodiles, he'll have to take his chances.
Kion: 
We can stick around in case Kiburi comes back.
Makuu:
We don't need your help. We crocs can take care of ourselves.
Kion:
 Well, okay.
(The Lion Guard walks away as Kiburi's float watches)
Kiburi:
We'll give the Lion Guard time to move off. Then it's payback time.
Hodari: 
Payback time? Thought we were just going to get water.
Kiburi: 
Oh, don't worry. We'll get the water. (Kiburi leans towards Hodari) And the watering hole.
Hodari: (Gulps)
Beshte: 
Guys, I'm worried about Hodari. If he's still hanging out with Kiburi, he might get really hurt.
Kion: 
Okay, Beshte. Let's see if we can find him. Ono?
Ono: 
On it! (Ono leaves to find Hodari)
(Kiburi's float goes to attack Makuu's float)
(All growling)
(The crocodiles all fight with each other)
Male Crocodile: 
(Grunts)
Tamka: 
(Tamka does the wide tailspin) Ha! The little gecko was right!
Nduli:
Ha! We know all your moves.
(Hodari is shokced)
Kiburi and Makuu: 
(Grunting)
Makuu: 
Kiburi. Only brave enough to challenge me when I'm hurt?
Kiburi: 
Your days of leadership are over, Makuu! (Kiburi attacks Makuu)
Makuu: 
(Bone cracks (grunts)
Hodari: 
Kiburi, stop! You can't just attack Makuu. You have to call for a Mashindano to challenge his leadership. It's the crocodile way.
Kiburi: 
Crocodile way? (Chuckles) Don't tell me about the crocodile way, gecko. (Kiburi swings Hodari and he goes on a tree)
Hodari: 
(Yells)
Makuu: 
The little gecko's right, Kiburi.
Kiburi: 
So? Once I'm leader, the crocodile way will be whatever I say it is!
Makuu: 
Huh?
Hodari: 
Oh, no! This is all my fault.
Ono: 
(Ono sees Makuu's float attacking Kiburi's float) Everyone! Everyone! Kiburi's float is attacking Makuu's watering hole.
Beshte: 
Is Hodari with them?
Ono: 
Sorry, didn't see him.
Fuli: 
(Fuli turns to face Kion) Kion?
Kion: 
Makuu might not want our help, but it's still our job to try.
Kiburi: 
(Kiburi attacks Makuu) (Growls)
Makuu: 
(Grunts)
Makuu: and Kiburi: 
(Grunting)
(The Lion Guard shows up to stop the fight)
Kion: 
Kiburi! Enough!
Kiburi: 
This isn't your fight, Lion Guard.
Kion: 
And this isn't your watering hole. Till the Pride Lands end...
All: 
Lion Guard defend!
(The Lion Guard goes to help fight)
Male Crocodile: 
(Grunts)
Fuli: 
(Fuli jumps on the Tamka and he lands in mud) "Huwezi!"
Tamka: 
Huh?
Ono: 
(Yells) (Ono tries to attack Nduli)
Nduli: 
Hey!
Bunga: 
"Zuka Zama!" (Bunga attacks the crocodiles) 
Nduli:
 (Grunts)
Beshte: 
(Beshte smashes into the crocodiles) (Grunts)
Crocodile: 
Whoa
Beshte: 
(Beshte spots Hodari hiding) Hodari! You okay? I was worried about you, little buddy.
Hodari: 
(Chuckles) I...I'm still your buddy? Even after I joined the bad guys?
Beshte: 
You were never a bad guy, Hodari. And I will always be your friend. Till the Pride Lands end.
Makuu: 
(Grunting)
Kiburi: 
(Snarls)
Kion: 
Kiburi, let Makuu go.
Kiburi: 
You make me.
Kion: 
(Snarls)
(Tamka knocks down Kion)
Tamka: 
(Laughs) Take that, lion cub.
Kiburi: 
Now it's just you and me.
Makuu: 
(Grunts) (Kiburi attacks Makuu)
Hodari: 
Beshte, we have to help Makuu.
Beshte:
 Hop on
Hodari:
(Hodari jumps onto Beshte) Just get me close, Beshte. I've got an idea.
Kion: 
(Grunts)
Beshte: 
(Grunts)
Hodari: 
Close enough. (Hodari jumps onto Kiburi's noise)
Kiburi: 
Get off of me, gecko.
Hodari: 
Makuu... Use the wide tail spin.
Makuu: 
(Grunts)
Hodari: 
Now.
(Makuu does the wide tail spin)
Makuu: 
(Grunts)
Kiburi: 
(Groaning)
Hodari: 
You did it!
Kion: 
Kiburi, it's time for you and your float to go back to the outlands.
Kiburi: 
This isn't over Makuu.
Kion: 
It is now. (Roaring)
(Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to blast Kiburi's float away)
Crcodiles: 
(Screaming)
(Wind Whooshing)
(Makuu walks up to Hodari)
Makuu: 
Hodari, right?
Hodari: 
Yep, that's me.
Makuu: 
That was a brave thing you did back there.
Hodari: 
Really?
Makuu: 
Yes. You have the heart of a true crocodile. If you still want to, you're welcome to join my float.
Hodari: 
Me, on your... Me...
Makuu:
Don't make me regret it.
Hodari: 
Yes, Makuu... That would be the best thing ever.
Makuu: 
Very well. Crocodiles, welcome Hodari... The honorary crocodile.
(Crocodiles chanting) Hodari, Hodari, Hodari.
(All the crocodiles chant and Hodari stands proud)
