(The Lion Guard is seen at Hakuna Matata Falls)
Kion:
What's next, Bunga?
Bunga:
(Chuckling) Oh, you're gonna love this one! I call it the splash-less triple spin-a-rama dive. "Zuka Zama!" (Bunga jumps into the falls and floats backwards)
Fuli:
Ooh!
Kion:
Wow!
Ono:
You barely made a splash.
Beshte:
Nice one, Little B.
(Bunga climbs up the tree again)
Fuli:
Yeah. That's one dive even I can appreciate.
Bunga:
What can I say? When ya got it, ya got it. You want me to teach ya?
Fuli:
That's okay.
Bunga:
Okay. Suit yourself. And now, for my next dive, I'll attempt a spectacular... (Bunga's about to jump until Laini and her galagos come)
Laini:
Lion Guard! Lion Guard!
All:
Help! Help!
Fuli:
What in the Pride Lands?
Kion:
"Hevi kabis..."
(Laini jumps onto Kion's face)
Laini:
Please say you'll help us, Kion! Please, oh, please, oh, please!
Kion:
(Muffled)
(The galagos knock Bunga into the water)
Bunga:
Whoa!
(Galagos Screaming)
Fuli:
Ugh. Really?
Galagos:
Save us! Save us! Save us! Save us! Save us!
(The galagos hang onto Fuli's ears)
Fuli:
Hey, hey! Easy on the ears!
Bunga:
(Bunga gets out of the water) Hey, there, little gally-ally-go.
Beshte:
Laini? What's the kerbubble? What's gotten all you galagos so upset?
Laini:
Oh, nothing. Just that... A leopard moved into our trees!
Beshte:
A leopard?
Fuli:
What? What did she say?
Ono:
But the Pride Lands doesn't have any leopards.
Laini:
It does now. He climbed up into our tree this morning. And he wants to eat us! So will you help us, Kion? Huh? Speak up!
Kion:
(Muffled)
Laini:
Oh. Sorry. (Laini gets off of Kion's face and onto his head)
Kion:
(Sighs) Of course we'll help you.
Beshte:
Yeah, we'd never let a leopard eat you guys.
Fuli:
"Eating flies"? Who's eating flies?
Kion:
(Kion puts Laini on the ground) Stay here. We'll go get the leopard out of your tree. Sounds good?
Laini:
Oh, I don't know. We were hoping we could stay with you. Nothing can hurt us if we're with the Lion Guard.
Fuli:
(Fuli tries to get the galago off her ear)Ugh! Will someone get these galagos off my ears, so I can hear what's going on? (Gasps)
Bunga:
(Bunga gets the galago off of Fuli's ear) You didn't miss much. They want to stay with us. (Bunga holds up a galago)
Galago:
Please?
Fuli:
What? No. No way.
Bunga:
Oh, come on, Fuli. They're not so bad.
(Fuli gets the other galago off of her ear)
Kion:
You and the other galagos will be safe here. A lot safer than if you're with us, when we take on the leopard.
Laini:
Oh, good point.
Shingo:
(Wailing in distance)
Kion:
Now what? Ono!
Ono:
On it! Uh-oh. We have to go. (Ono flies up to see the trouble)
Ono:
There's a giraffe stuck in a tree.
Fuli:
"A giraffe stuck in a tree"? Are there still galagos on my ears?
Ono:
That is what I said. It's... He's... Oh. (Stuttering) You've gotta see it for yourself.
Kion:
Come on! Lion Guard, let's go!
Laini:
But the leopard? You promised you'd get the leopard, Kion! You promised!
Kion:
And we will. Right after we help the giraffe. Then we'll come back here for you.
Laini:
Okay. Thank you, Kion.
Kion:
Till the Pride Lands' end...
All:
Lion Guard defend!
(The lion guard goes to help the giraffe)
(All Gasping)
(They all spot Shingo in a tree)
Fuli:
I don't believe it. It really is a giraffe stuck in a tree!
Beshte:
Like my dad says, "Live long enough and you'll see everything."
Shingo:
(Groaning) Oh, uh, hi.
Beshte:
Shingo? What happened?
Shingo:
I was just trying to get to the last of the acacia leaves. They're so good. (Shinga ties to get the leaves) (Groaning)
Ono:
Um, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Shingo:
(Shingo gets his tung stuck) Ah! (Muffled) I see what you mean.
Kion:
Don't worry, Shingo. We're on it. Bunga, you'll need to climb up there and help pull Shingo free.
Bunga:
With pleasure. "Zuka Zama!"
(Bunga jumps onto the tree)
Bunga:
Okay, let's get that tongue free. Whoa. Hey, Shingo. Your tongue's kind of bumpy.
Shingo:
Yeah, I know.
Bunga:
(Bunga tries to pull Shingo's tongue out)Hey, easy there! (Groaning) I can't free your tongue if you keep moving it.
Shingo:
Ah! (Whimpers)
(The Galagos come running at the Lion Guard)
Galagos:
Help us!
(Galagos screaming)
(The Galago lands on Beshte)
Beshte:
Aw, look who it is.
Kion:
Laini? What are you... (Laini lands on Kion's noise)
Galago:
(Screams)
(The Galagos climb up Shingo)
Shingo:
Cut it out, you guys! (Laughing)
(A couple galagos land in Bunga's hands)
Bunga:
(Grunts) Hey, gally-ally-go!
Shingo:
(Shingo gets out of the tree) I'm free! (Sighs) Thanks, guys. (Gasps) (Shingo spots a tree) Ooh! Is that another acacia tree?
Kion:
(Kion gets Laini off his face) I told you to wait at Hakuna Matata Falls! What happened?
Laini:
Everything was fine at first. But then we heard this sound.
Beshte:
Was it the leopard?
Laini:
No, it sounded like this. (Blows Raspberry)
Bunga:
(Bunga jumps down from the tree) Yep. That'd be my Uncle Pumbaa.
Laini:
And then there was this horrible smell. (Laini puts her finger on her noise)
Ono:
Definitely Pumbaa.
Beshte:
Well, Pumbaa won't hurt you.
Kion:
Beshte's right, Laini. You and the galagos should go back to the falls. It's safer there.
Laini:
Oh, we have to stay with you. Please?
(The Lion Guard walks up to Laini's tree)
Kion:
Okay, galagos. We'll be right over there at your tree. Stay here.
Laini:
Be careful, Kion. The leopard is fierce. Really fierce!
Kion:
Don't worry, so am I.
(Badili is seen sleeping in the tree)
Badili:
(Snoring)
Kion:
(Whispering) Surround the tree. When he wakes up, we want to be ready.
(The lion guard surrounds the tree)
Badili:
(Snoring continues)
Kion:
Ono! Now!
Ono:
(Yells)
Badili:
(Badili falls out of the tree) (Gasps) (Growls)
Kion: Now!
Badili:
(Wailing) No, please don't hurt me! I didn't mean to growl. I thought you were baboons!
Bunga:
Baboons?
Badili:
Yes! They were chasing me in my dream. Hundreds of them.
Fuli:
Ooh, I've had that dream. It's bad.
(Ono lands)
Ono:
Hang on, are you the big, scary leopard?
Badili:
(Sniffles) No! I'm Badili. The big, friendly leopard.
Fuli:
If you're so friendly, why'd you scare away the galagos?
Badili:
Galagos? What are galagos?
Kion:
They're the animals who live here. You took their home.
(Galagos chittering)
(Badili looks at the galagos)
Badili:
Aw, they're so cute. Hi, there! (Badili lifts up one paw)
(Galagos Shrinking)
Kion:
They're a little scared of you.
Badili:
Oh, they shouldn't be. I didn't mean to take their home. I just didn't have anyplace else to go.
Kion:
What about your home? You're a leopard. Don't you have your own territory?
Badili:
Oh, sure. It's in Mirihi Forest.
Ono:
That's way out in the Back Lands.
Badili:
That's right. But I really like it here in the Pride Lands. The trees are more comfy.
Fuli:
Really?
Badili:
Oh, hey! I have an idea. Maybe the galagos and I could share the tree? We'd have all kinds of fun together, right?
(Galagos Screaming)
Laini:
The leopard is not staying in our tree!
Kion:
The galagos are right, Badili. You need to go back home.
Badili:
(Sobbing) Do I really have to? (Clears Throat) Uh, I mean... Are you sure you don't wanna keep me around? I'm lots of fun! I'm great at games! Wanna play tag?
(Badili waves his paw at Fuli)
Fuli:
Not with those claws.
Kion:
Badili, is there a reason you don't want to go home?
Badili:
(Nervously) What? No, don't be silly. Of course I want to go home. It's my home. I just, you know, uh, wanted to try a new home for a while.
Kion:
And you did. But now it's time to go back where you belong.
Beshte:
We'll even walk you there.
Badili:
You will? Oh, that's great. 'Cause I definitely wasn't going to wait until you left and climb up that tree again. (Chuckles nervously) Oh, that would be as silly as an elephant trying to squeeze into a meerkat hole! (Laughs) (Sighs)
Kion:
Right. Laini, we're taking Badili home now. The grove is all yours.
Laini:
Uh, thank you, Kion!
Kion:
Time to go.
Badili:
(Sighs) Fine.
(The lion guard and Badili leaves and the galagos go back home)
Galagos:
(Whooping) Hooray!
(The scene transitions to Mihiri Forest and the Lion Guard walk Badili)
Ono:
Mihiri Forest, just ahead!
Badili:
Great! That's fantastic. Hey, is anyone else parched? We passed a watering hole a while ago. I say we double back and check it out.
Kion:
Badili, what's goin' on? You keep making excuses like you don't want to go home.
Badili:
Excuses? No way! I can't wait to be home. Almost there. Yay! So, thanks for the walk. Maybe we'll see each other again some time.
Bunga:
There we go. Now, anyone else think that watering hole sounded good?
Kion:
Wait, Bunga. Something's not right. Come on.
(The lion guard watches through the bushes)
Bunga: So, this is... This is all good, right? We can go?
Kion: Not yet.
(Badili scratches his paws agaisnt the tree)
Bunga:
(Sighs)
Mapigano:
(Mapigano jumps down) (Roars)
Badili:
(Yelps)
(The lion guard watches in shock)
Mapigano:
(Cackles) What's the matter, Badili? Scare ya?
Badili:
Um, maybe a little.
Mapigano:
A little?
Badili:
Okay, a lot.
Mapigano:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I told you this ain't your turf no more.
Badili:
I know, I know, but...
Mapigano:
Didn't I make myself clear? Was I speaking a language you don't understand?
Badili:
Uh... No.
Mapigano:
So why'd you come back? (Mapigano walks closer to Badili)
Badili:
I... I... I...
Mapigano:
(Mocking) You... You... You... You what? You miss me? Forget how much bigger and how much stronger I am?
Badili:
Oh. Oh, no. No, I remembered.
(In the bushes the guard is watching)
Beshte:
That Mapigano is not a nice leopard.
Fuli:
Yeah, but Badili can't just let him take over his home!
Ono:
(Sighs) I think he already did.
Mapigano:
All of this is my turf now. So you need to scram. Again.
Badili:
I did go away. But this is my home. It's where I belong. So...
Fuli:
Here we go. And now he's gonna tell him.
Badili:
(Gulps) Maybe we can share it?
Fuli:
Seriously? Why wouldn't Badili stick up for himself?
Kion:
Maybe he needs someone to stick up for him.
Mapigano:
Share it? (Laughing) You make me laugh. (Laughing)
'Badili:
(Laughing nervously)
Mapigano:
(Laughter continues) Enough with the laughing. Get out! Now!
(The Lion Guard comes out of the bushes)
Kion:
I've got a better idea! You get out! This isn't your turf.
Mapigano:
Oh, yeah? Says who?
Ono:
Says the Lion Guard!
Beshte:
Badili's our friend.
(Bunga points his fingers)
Bunga:
You mess with him, you mess with us.
Fuli:
And believe me, you don't wanna mess with us.
Mapigano:
Why do you even care? Look at him. He's not even a leopard. He's a scaredy-cat!
Kion:
He is a leopard. And this is his turf. That means you have to go back where you came from!
Bunga:
Or don't. But then, we'll have trouble.
Beshte:
I don't think you'd like that.
Fuli:
But I might.
Mapigano:
(Chuckles Nervously) Hey! We're all friends here, right? I wasn't gonna stay. I was just visiting my old pal, that's all. Great to see you, buddy. We'll do it again sometime. Bye-bye! (Mapigano leaves)
Badili:
That was amazing! (Sighs) How can I ever thank you guys?
Kion:
You don't have to thank us at all, Badili. This is what we do.
Beshte:
But why didn't you just tell us a mean leopard kicked you out of your territory?
Badili:
I was embarrassed. Leopards are supposed to be fierce and fight for their turf. But I get too scared.
Kion:
It's okay to be scared. You don't have to be embarrassed.
Ono:
Actually, Mapigano's the one who's scared now. He's already far away.
Kion:
And he's gone for good. He knows the Lion Guard has your back.
Badili:
Thanks, guys. You're the best.
Kion:
Our pleasure, Badili. Maybe we'll see you again sometime.
Beshte:
Bye-bye!
Fuli:
Later!
Bunga & Ono:
See you!
(The Lion Guard leaves and Badili sleeps peacefully in his tree)
(The scene transitions to Embamba Canyons and the Lion Guard are on their patrol)
Ono:
All clear on this side of Embamba Canyon!
Kion:
Thanks, Ono. Looks like we'll finish our patrol early today.
Fuli:
That's what happens when we don't have to deal with panicked galagos. Like yesterday.
Bunga:
Yeah. They sure were cute though.
Beshte:
Sure were.
Laini:
Lion Guard!
Bunga:
(Sighs) I can almost hear them now.
Laini:
Lion Guard!
Ono:
You can hear them now. Look!
(Laini jumps onto Kion's back)
Laini:
Lion Guard!
Kion:
Oh, no.
Fuli:
Don't tell me...
Laini:
The leopard! He's back in our trees! I'm sure he wants to eat us this time!
Bunga:
Badili? No way. It can't be him.
Badili:
(Badili is seen sleeping in Laini's tree) (Snoring)
(The Lion Guard walks up to Laini's tree)
Bunga:
It's him!
Badili:
(Moans)
Kion:
Badili. Badili!
Beshte:
I know how to wake him up. (Grunts)(Beshte knocks Badili out of the tree and onto his back)
Badili:
(Yelps) Whoa! (Grunts) Oh! Hi, guys! Great to see you again! Thanks for dropping in!
Fuli:
Badili, you're supposed to be back home. What happened?
Badili:
(Sighs) Mapigano.
Beshte:
The mean leopard? But we chased him off!
Badili:
I know. You were amazing! (Sighs) It was so peaceful and nice with him gone. But then he came back.
Kion:
Hmm. You know, I think we made a big mistake. We never should have gotten rid of Mapigano.
Badili:
What? No, you should have! It was the best! In fact, I was kind of hoping you might do it again?
Bunga:
Sure! We'll take care of him for you. Let's go!
Kion:
No! We're not helping Badili by scaring that other leopard away for him. We need to teach you how to stand up for yourself.
Badili:
You mean, teach me to fight? I don't know if I can do that.
Kion:
You don't have to. We didn't have to fight Mapigano when we scared him away.
Badili:
No... But you're the Lion Guard.
Fuli:
Yeah, but Mapigano didn't know anything about us. He just saw we wouldn't back down.
Badili:
But I will back down. I'm not confident like you guys.
Kion:
The only reason we're confident is because we believe in ourselves. You just need to believe in yourself, too.
Badili:
How am I gonna do that? I'm not like you. You're the fiercest, bravest, fastest, strongest and keenest of sight! I'm just a nice leopard that wants to be left alone.
Kion:
(Kion stares at Badili) Badili, look at me. That mean leopard is picking on you because he knows you'll back down.
Beshte:
But you can still be nice and stand up for yourself.
Kion:
Beshte's the perfect example. He's a super-nice guy, but he's still confident.
(Beshte stands proud)
Beshte:
And you can be, too.
Badili:
But how?
Kion:
I think we can help you there.
Fuli:
Yeah! I can help you learn to be fast on your feet.
Beshte:
And I can help you get stronger.
Bunga:
I'll teach you to be brave!
Ono:
And I'll teach you to be... Huh. I can't really teach you to be keener of sight.
Bunga:
(Gasps) You could teach him how to fly! Or not.
Kion:
Ono, you can help Badili with eye contact. Looking someone in the eyes lets them know you're confident and fierce!
(Kion gives Badili a fierce look)
Badili:
I see what you mean.
Bunga:
So what do you say, Badili?
Badili:
It sounds great. But I'll never be as good as you guys at all that stuff.
Fuli:
You don't have to be.
Ono:
Fuli's right.
Beshte:
As long as you believe in your own abilities, you'll be confident enough to stand up to Mapigano.
Badili:
You really think so?
Kion:
I know so.
Badili:
Okay. Let's do it!
(The scene transitions and Badili and Ono focus on eye contact)
(Music starts)
Beau Black:
¶ Find your roar
¶ Find your roar
(Badili looks at his reflection)
Badili: (Screams) (Badili leaves)
¶ Find your roar
¶ Find your roar
¶ Find your roar
¶ Find your roar
¶ Find your roar
¶ Find your roar
¶ Yeah, you got the roar inside of you
Badili: (Growls and Screams)
¶ Here ain't nothin' will frighten you
Badili:
(Roars)
(Badili tries to push a rock)
¶ So, let's hear it Don't fear it
(Badili runs with Fuli but gets distracted chasing a butterfly)
¶ Let's hear the roar
¶ Find your roar
¶ Find your roar
(Ono helps Badili with eye sight)
Badili: (Growls)
¶ Find your roar
¶ Find your roar
(Badili scares Bunga)
Badili:
(Roars)
Bunga:
Ha! (Laughs)
¶ Find your roar
(Badili pushes a rock)
¶ Yeah, you got the roar inside of you
¶ Here ain't nothin' will frighten you
(Badili runs with Fuli)
¶ So, let's hear it Don't fear it
¶ Let's hear the roar ¶
(Badili stares at Kion)
Badili:
(Growls) (Roars)
(All cheering)
Kion:
What do you think, Badili? Ready to face Mapigano?
Badili:
I can't wait.
(The lion guard is seen walking through the forest)
Ono:
So when you talk to Mapigano, what do you do?
Badili:
I speak calm and strong, I stand tall, and I look him in the eyes.
Beshte:
And if he calls you a mean name, what do you say?
Badili:
I say, "My name's Badili. "Use it."
Bunga:
And if he tells you to go away?
Badili:
I say, "No. "This is my turf."
Bunga:
How about if he tries to scare you?
Badili:
He can't. He's not scary. He's just a leopard, same as me.
Kion:
And how do you know he's not scary?
Badili:
Because I found my roar.
Kion:
Better believe it. Now go take back your turf.
(Badili leaves to find Mapigano)
Bunga:
We're gonna stay and watch, right?
Kion:
Wouldn't miss it for the whole savannah.
(Mapigano is seen sleeping in Badili's tree)
Mapigano:
(Snoring)
(Badili tries to knock Mapigano out of the tree)
(Thudding)
Mapigano:
(Mapigano falls out of the tree) Huh? Huh? What?
Beshte:
(Whispering) Way to be strong.
Mapigano:
What? What just happened?
Badili:
(Badili makes a fierce face) I happened.
Bunga:
I'm totally gonna use that line.
Mapigano:
Back again, Badili? Where are all your little buddies?
(Mapigano looks around)
Mapigano:
Did you bring 'em along to stand up for you again?
Bunga:
Nope. Just me. This is my turf. That means you have to go.
Fuli:
You tell him, Badili.
Mapigano:
Oh. Oh, yeah? And who's gonna make me? You?
Badili:
(Badili backs away) (Whimpers)
Mapigano:
(Roars)
Badili:
(Yelps)
Mapigano:
(Laughing) That's what I thought. Same old Badili. You're nothing but a scaredy-cat.
Beshte:
No, don't let him call you names.
Badili:
No, I... I'm not scared.
(Ono covers his eyes)
Ono:
Oh! This doesn't look good.
Fuli:
We gotta help him.
(Kion stops Fuli)
Kion:
No! I believe in Badili. He can do this himself.
'Mapigano:
Ha! You sure sound scared to me.
Badili:
(Inhales) Well, I'm not. I'm not scared of you, Mapigano.
'Mapigano:
(Snickers) Is that right? Well, maybe you should be! Huh?
(Badili runs around)
Badili:
You'll have to be faster than that!
'Mapigano:
(Roars)
Badili:
(Badili hangs from a tree) (Softly) See? I have confidence in myself. 'Cause I know what I can do. And I'm not afraid to prove it.
'Mapigano:
Oh, yeah? Well... Step a little closer and say that!
Badili:
(Badili gets closer) Is this close enough? Oh, was that too close
'Mapigano:
(Stuttering) No, I just...
Badili:
I'm not scared of you, Mapigano. And I'll never be scared of you again. So you should go. Now.
'Mapigano:
Oh, yeah? Well...
Badili:
I said now! (Roaring)
'Mapigano:
(Whimpers)
(Mapigano runs away)
Badili:
And stay out!
(The lion guard comes out from the bushes)
Kion:
Way to go, Badili!
Fuli:
I don't think you'll see that guy again.
Badili:
(Whimpers) Could you tell how scared I was?
Bunga:
Are you kidding. You looked nothing but brave!
Ono:
I'm the keenest of sight. And what I saw was a leopard standing up for himself.
(Badili smiles)
Badili:
I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks for believing in me.
Kion:
No. You believed in yourself. That's what really counts. And now that you have your turf back, we can let the galagos know it's safe to go home.
Badili:
Oh, yeah. Uh, tell 'em I said "Hi." And, um, "Sorry."
(The lion guard except for Bunga is seen at Hakuna Matata Falls)
Fuli:
(Sighs) Now this is more like it!
Beshte:
Yep. Everything's right in the Pride Lands again.
(Laini comes to the lion guard and jumps on Kion's back)
Laini:
Help! Lion Guard! Help! Come quick! There's someone in our tree!
Fuli: (Sighs) Not again.
(The lion guard goes to the tree and sees Bunga sleeping)
Ono:
You're not gonna believe this.
(All snoring)
Kion:
Bunga?
Bunga:
Oh, hi, guys. What's up?
Fuli:
You are! What are you doing in their tree?
Bunga:
I just had to come back. These guys are so soft and cuddly! Come here, Laini! (Bunga picks up and hugs Laini)
Laini:
(Gasps)
Bunga:
Give me a hug.
Laini:
(Gasps) Maybe that leopard wasn't so bad after all.
(All laughing)
