Daniel Tiger and The Lion King

Chapter 6

[The scene transitions to the desert, where Simba and Daniel Tiger are passed out under the hot sun]

{Buzzards are circling the cub's body. One descends, then all. They circle around it. With a blast of music, Timon riding Pumbaa appears and dives into the midst of the buzzards. They slap and kick the buzzards all away.}

Timon: Yeeeah! Get out! Get out! Get outta here! Whoo!

Pumbaa: I love it! Bowling for buzzards!

Timon: {Laughing, dusting himself off} Gets 'em every time.

Pumbaa: {Looking at Simba and Daniel Tiger}Uh-oh. Hey Timon. You better come look. I think it's still alive.

Timon: Ewww...

{Timon walks to the front of Simba and Daniel Tiger, who is lying with their paw over their face.}

Timon: All righty, what have we got here? {he smells Simba and Daniel Tiger}

{He tries to lift Simba's paw. He can't. He gets under it and with a great push gets it above his head. He sees Simba's face.}

Timon: Jeez, it's a lion and Tiger! {Jumping up on Pumbaa} Run, Pumbaa! Move it!

Pumbaa: Hey, Timon. It's just a little lion and little tiger, Look at them they're so cute, and all alone! Can we keep them?

Timon: {Yelling into Pumbaa's ear, which creates a reverberating effect} Pumbaa, are you nuts? We're talking about a lion and tiger. Lions and tigers eat guys like us.

Pumbaa: But they's so little.

{He leans over to regard Simba and Daniel Tiger,, and accidentally dumps Timon from his head.}

Timon:They're gonna get bigger.

Pumbaa: {Seen from Timon's point of view on the ground, with a huge nose) Maybe they'll be on our side.

Timon:Ha! [Timon stands.] That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. [Timon dusts himself off.] Maybe he'll be... [Timon pulls up short and holds up a finger as he has a sudden realization.] Hey, I've got it. What if they're on our side? [Timon gestures dramatically. He puts a pensive finger to his chin.] You know, having a lion and tiger around [Timon grasps onto Pumbaa's nostrils.] might not be such a bad idea. [Timon climbs into Pumbaa's mane.]

Pumbaa: So we keep them.

Timon: Of course. Who's the brains in this outfit?

{Pumbaa scoops Simba and Daniel Tiger up on his tusks}

Pumbaa: Uhhh...

Timon: My point exactly. Jeez, I'm fried. Let's get out of here and find some shade.

{Pumbaa trots off with Timon on his back and carrying Simba and Daniel Tiger..}

{Camera switch to Pumbaa, Timon, and Simba and Daniel Tigernear a pool of water and oasis. Simba,Daniel Tiger has been laid near the water.Timon splashes some water on Simba's,Daniel Tiger's face. Simba and Daniel Tiger stirs.}

Timon: You okay,kids?

Simba: I guess so.

Daniel Tiger: We're Fine.

Pumbaa: You nearly died.

Timon: I saved you.

Pumbaa: {Snorts at Timon}

Timon: Well, uh, Pumbaa helped. A little.

Simba: {Dully} Thanks for your help.

{Simba and Daniel Tiger heads off quietly back out towards the desert.}
