(SNORTING)
JANJA: C'mon, boys! It's lunch time, and I'm starving!
CHUNGU: I'm always starving!
CHEEZI: (LAUGHING)
KION: Hyenas!
(SCARED YELPS)
CHUNGU: Hey!
KION: I thought I told you to stay out of the Pride Lands!
JANJA: Did ya now? My stomach keeps on forgettin'.
CHUNGU: His stomach forgets. (LAUGHS) That's a good one!
KION: Go!
JANJA: Oh, no.
CHEEZI: (LAUGHS) That cub's got no sense of humor!
KION: Lion Guard, calm the herd! I'll take care of these guys.
ONO: You got it.
CHUNGU: We're leaving? What about lunch?
JANJA: All of the sudden I'm not so hungry.
CHEEZI: But Janja! You said you were starving!
JANJA: Just run, fur brain!
KION: That's right! Back to the Outlands! Now!
(YELLS AND GRUNTS)
(CREAKING)
(YELLS AND GRUNTS)
(COUGHING)
BESHTE: That's right. Easy there. You're all okay now.
BUNGA: Yeah! Kion's chased those hyenas back into the Outlands!
FULI: And he should be back by now. Ono, check on Kion.
ONO: Affirmative! Hapana!
(GRUNTING)
ONO: Everyone, everyone! Kion's in trouble! Come on!
(GRUNTING)
(GASPS)
BUNGA: Kion! Hang on, Kion, we're coming!
BESHTE: Little B, don't! The current's too strong!
FULI: Ono! Keep pace with Kion!
ONO: Right!
BUNGA: (COUGHING) Whoa! (PANTING) Thanks, Big B.
ONO: Hang in there, Kion. Oh, no! Kion, look out! Rocks! Straight ahead!
KION: Whoa! (PANTING) (COUGHING) (PANTING) (SIGHS)
FULI: Kion! Are you all right?
KION: A little wet. (COUGHS) But I'm okay.
ONO: But Kion, look. You're over here. In the Outlands.
KION: I can see that, Ono. And it looks like I can take that trail upriver. Don't worry, Ono. I'll be fine. Besides, I don't have much of a choice. I definitely can't cross the river here. The water's way too rough. Lion Guard! Meet me at Flat Ridge Rock! I can cross the river there!
BESHTE: Huh?
FULI: Flat Ridge Rock?
BUNGA: Yeah, yeah, yeah! I know exactly where that is! Follow me!
KION: Thanks, Bunga! Ono!
ONO: Yes, Kion?
KION: Better go with them. Make sure Bunga really does know where Flat Ridge Rock is.
ONO: Affirmative! Guys, wait up!
BUNGA: C'mon! C'mon! We don't want Kion waitin' up at Flat Ridge Rock, wondering where we are. (EXCLAIMS)
BESHTE: What's wrong, Little B?
BUNGA: Uh, nothing.
FULI: Bunga? Are you sure you know how to get to Flat Ridge Rock?
BUNGA: Pfft! Of course, I know. It's this way! Huh? (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) Ow. Wait, no, no, no, no. It's this way!
USHARI: (HISSING) Going somewhere, Bunga?
BUNGA: Nope! Gotta be this way. Well, it's one of these ways.
BESHTE: Too bad Kion's not here to lead us.
ONO: Do you even know where we are?
BUNGA: Sure! Uh... We're lost!
(ALL SIGH)
KION: Hmm. (GRUNTS) (SNIFFING)
JASIRI: Hello! Surprise!
KION: (GASPS)
JASIRI: (LAUGHS) Didn't know I was up here. Did ya?
KION: No, I...I knew you were there the whole time....Hyena.
JASIRI: Yep, I'm a hyena all right. You lions are so clever! (LAUGHS) Especially you, Kion.Leader of the Lion Guard.
KION: You know me?
JASIRI: Just by reputation.The mark on your shoulder's a giveaway, though. (LAUGHS)
KION: So, you're not in Janja's clan?
JASIRI: Janja? Yeah, that's a good one.What are you doing in the Outlands? Not exactly your territory.
KION: I'm going to Flat Ridge Rock,so I can get back to the Pride Lands. If that's okay with you, hyena.
JASIRI: The name's Jasiri. And if you are headed back to the Pride Lands, you're going the wrong way.
KION: Uh-huh. And I should trust a hyena because...
JASIRI: Because I want you out of my territory.
KION: Good. I want out of your territory.
KION: (SCOFFS)
JASIRI: Then you're going the wrong way!
BESHTE: Thanks for getting us outta the woods, Ono.
ONO: No problem. But I don't know which way to go from here. I've never been to Flat Ridge Rock.
BESHTE: Neither have I.
FULI: Me neither.
BUNGA: Well, it's probably around here somewhere.
BESHTE: All I see are grass, trees and zebras.
FULI: Ugh! I can't believe we don't know where to go! We're the Lion Guard! (SIGHS) This never happens when Kion's around!
BESHTE: Easy, Fuli. We just need to ask somebody for directions.
THURSTON: Hello, Lion Guard. I couldn't help but overhear. You need directions?
BUNGA: Yeah, we do! Do you know where Flat Ridge Rock is?
THURSTON: Flat Ridge Rock? Oh! Is that near Ukuni Woods? Or Big Springs?
FULI: We don't know where it is. That's why we're asking you!
THURSTON: I see. Well, that's too bad. I'm not sure where it is. Now, where was I going?
BESHTE: Uh, maybe back to your herd?
THURSTON: Oh yes, of course! Thank you!
ONO: Zebras. (SIGHS) They never know where they're going.
BESHTE: Hey! We could ask Mbeya the Rhino! He knows the Pride Lands like the back of his horn.
FULI: Great. Any idea where we can find Mbeya?
BESHTE: This time of day, Mbeya usually hangs out at the Watering Hole.
BUNGA: Yeah! Watering Hole, here we come.
FULI: Ono, you lead this time.
ONO: Affirmative! Follow me!
FULI: This way, Bunga.
BUNGA: I was taking a shortcut.
KION: Still following me?
JASIRI: You're still ignoring my advice.
KION: About going the wrong way? (SCOFFS) I'm pretty sure I'm heading towards Flat Ridge Rock.
JASIRI: Maybe so, but you can't get there on this trail.
KION: Oh, yeah? Why's that?
JASIRI: The trail ends. Here!
KION: What? Whoa...
JASIRI: (CACKLING)
KION: Heyvi kabisa!
JASIRI: (GROWLS)
FULI: (SIGHS) How long can it possibly take to ask for directions to Flat Ridge Rock? They've been talking forever!
BUNGA: Beshte does like to talk.
ONO: Yes. But perhaps I'd better go talk to him.
MBEYA: You get to be my age, you never know what might happen!
BESHTE: (LAUGHS)
ONO: Sorry to interrupt. But Beshte? We have to meet Kion? At Flat Ridge Rock?
BESHTE: Oh yeah! Guess I better be going. See you later, Mbeya.
MBEYA: Later, Beshte.
FULI: So? What did he say?
BESHTE: You won't believe it. Remember that heatwave we had yesterday?
FULI: Yeah, I remember. It was hot. Now what did Mbeya say?
BESHTE: He forgot to cover himself in mud! (LAUGHS)
BUNGA: Why would Mbeya want to cover himself in mud, Big B?
ONO: That's how rhinos avoid sunburn. Common knowledge, really.
FULI: (SIGHS) I meant, what did Mbeya say about the directions?
BESHTE: (CHUCKLES) Fuli, you don't need directions to cover yourself in mud. Just find a nice mud puddle and roll in it.
FULI: Argh! Not directions for mud bathing. Directions for getting to Flat Ridge Rock!
BESHTE: Oh, yeah! The directions to Flat Ridge Rock! I forgot to ask. Be right back.
(ALL GRUNT)
BUNGA: Yeah. Kion would never forget something like that.
(JASIRI LAUGHING) Hold still, this won't hurt at all. (GRUNTING)
KION: Hey, what are you doing?
JASIRI: Getting you out of this thorn bush. If you'd just hold still!
KION: What? Why would you help me? You're a hyena.
JASIRI: You lions really do think all hyenas are bad!
KION: All the ones I've met are.
JASIRI: Like Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu? Well, obviously, I'm not like them. For one thing, they're males, which means they're foolish. No offense.
KION: Not all males are foolish.
JASIRI: Says the male lion flat on his back, stuck in a bush. (LAUGHING)
ONO: Things would certainly go a lot better if Kion were leading us.
BUNGA: Yeah. But you gotta love all these flies!
FULI: Ugh. Yeah, gotta love 'em. Beshte, are you positive Mbeya said this is the way to Flat Ridge Rock?
BESHTE: Yep! 'Course, he also said he's never actually been there.
(GROANS)
ONO: Everyone! There's a ridge up ahead with a flat rock on top of it! It's gotta be Flat Ridge Rock!
BUNGA: Zuka Zama! Kion, here we come!
FULI: This time, I'll lead the way. Comin' through.
BUNGA: Fuli, slow down! How can you lead us when we can't keep up?
KION: Thanks... I guess.
JASIRI: You guess?
KION: Well, yeah! You could have told me the trail ended before I went over the hill!
JASIRI: Yeah. But then I wouldn't have seen the leader of the Lion Guard rolling down a hill! (LAUGHS)
KION: Okay, you've had your laugh. Now I'm lost. Can you tell me how to get to Flat Ridge Rock?
JASIRI: Follow that trail.It'll take you to Flat Ridge Rock. And back to your beloved Pride Lands.
KION: Thanks.(GRUNTS)
JASIRI: You're limping.
KION: I'm fine. Just a little sore from the fall. I can handle it.
JASIRI: Okay, tell ya what. It's kinda my fault you're hurt. So I'll stick with you until you can see Flat Ridge Rock.
KION: Okay. I mean, if you want to.
JASIRI: What I want? (LAUGHS) I want you out of my territory!
KION: (GRUNTS) Yeah, well, me too.
(GRUNTING AND SIGHING)
Huh? Fuli?
FULI: Hi, guys. What kept you? I even had time to clean up.
BESHTE: Uh, Fuli? Usually Kion wouldn't get so far ahead that the rest of us have trouble keeping up.
FULI: Oh. Sorry, guys.
BUNGA: Wait! This is Flat Ridge Rock?
ONO: Well, this rock is pretty flat. And it's on a ridge.
BUNGA: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah! I know this place! I've been here hundreds of times! You know, there's a great shortcut we could have used!
ALL: Bunga!
BUNGA: What?
LIZARD: (GULPS)
KION: See that? That's the Circle of Life for you.
JASIRI: Wait. You think I don't know about the Circle of Life?
KION: Well, you are a hyena.
JASIRI: Look. I know Janja's clan is greedy and eats more than their share. But most hyenas respect the Circle of Life! We're the clean-up crews- picking up after all the sloppy eaters. We hyenas eat what you lions leave behind.
KION: Oh. I guess I never really thought about it like that.
JASIRI: (LAUGHS) Of course not.You think hyenas and lions are so different. But we're not! We're more similar than you think, Kion. Sisi ni sawa.
KION: You're saying we're the same? No, I don't think so.

KION: What's wrong?
JASIRI: We're in Janja's territory. And, believe it or not, we don't get along! (LAUGHS) Don't worry. Flat Ridge Rock is right over there.You're almost home.
KION: Asante, Jasiri. Thanks for your help.
JASIRI: Sure. Bye, Kion!
KION: Hey, Jasiri! If you ever need my help...
JASIRI: Help? From a lion? (LAUGHS) That's a good one!
KION: Okay.
JANJA: (SNARLING)
JASIRI: Janja!
JANJA: Well, well. If it isn't Jasiri. Thought I told you to stay off our turf!
JASIRI: Just passing through.So move. Or do I have to move you myself?
HYENAS (LAUGHING)
JANJA: Big talk, coming from someone who's all alone!
JASIRI: Okay, I'll take another path.
(HYENAS GROWLING)
JASIRI: So, you figured out that only three of you didn't stand a chance against me.
JANJA: C'mon, boys .Let's remind Jasiri what happens to someone who wanders into our part of the Outlands!
JASIRI: These all the hyenas you got, Janja?
KION: Jasiri?
(SNARLING)
CHEEZI: Me first!
(LAUGHS) (GRUNTS) (GROANING)
JASIRI: (LAUGHS) Who's next?
CHUNGU: (SNARLING) (SCREAMS)
JANJA: (GRUNTS) Enough playing around.
(GROWLING)
(GRUNTS)
JANJA: (GROANS) Kion?
JASIRI: What are you doing here?
KION: I'm here to help.
JASIRI: If you say so...But I got 'em right where I want 'em!
(BLOWS)
(YELPING)
(GRUNTING)
KION: Yeah, I can tell.
(GROWLING)
(GRUNTS)
(GRUNTING)
JASIRI: Kion! Behind you!
KION: Nice move, Jasiri.
JASIRI: Thanks. You're not so bad yourself. For a lion.
(SNARLING)
KION: Uh-oh. Looks like we're cornered.
(HYENAS LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY)
JANJA: Don't know why you're in the Outlands helpin' a hyena, Kion, But it's the last thing you're gonna do. (LAUGHS) Get 'em, boys!
CHUNGU: Got you now!
CHEEZI: Yeah! (LAUGHS)
KION: Jasiri, get behind me! Now!
JASIRI: What? Why?
KION: Trust me.
JASIRI: Can't believe I'm trusting a lion.
(WIND WHOOSHING)
KION: (LOUD ROAR)
BUNGA: Zuka Zama! Kion's in trouble!
KION: (CONTINUES ROARING)
HYENAS: (YELPING AND GRUNTING)
JANJA: Uh. I hate that roar.
(YELPS)
JANJA: Come on, boys!
(YELPING)
JASIRI: (LAUGHS) Look at 'em go!
That was the funniest thing I've ever seen! (LAUGHING)
JASIRI: Okay, that roar thing? That is definitely something we don't have in common.
KION: I've seen you in action. You don't need a roar.
JASIRI: You know, I never thought a lion would help a hyena.
KION: Well, not all lions are alike.
ONO: He's over here!
BUNGA: Kion!
FULI: (GROWLING) JASIRI: (GROWLING)
FULI: Back off, hyena!
(BOTH GROWLING)
KION: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Take it easy! She's a friend!
FULI: She is?
JASIRI: I... I am?
KION: Definitely.
BUNGA: But she's a hyena.
KION: I know. But not all hyenas are like Janja. Some of them are good. She's one of them.
FULI: Really?
KION: She got me through the Outlands.
JASIRI: And he saved me from Janja and his clan.
BESHTE: Well, any friend of Kion is a friend of ours.
KION: You should have seen her take on Cheezi and Chungu. She was fierce.
FULI: Huh. I like her already.
BUNGA: Sure is nice having Kion lead us again. Even if he is walking behind us.
JASIRI: Well, I better get back to my territory. I'm sure your roar doesn't scare off Janja forever.
KION: (CHUCKLES) If only!
JASIRI: (LAUGHS) Bye, Kion. It's been fun.
KION: Bye, Jasiri. Maybe I'll see you again sometime?
JASIRI: Not if I see you first! (LAUGHS)
KION: Hey, guys! Wait for me!
