Plot[]
(At the Hakuna Matata Falls, Timon jump in the water as Pumbaa flip over in the water while swimming)
- Timon: What a perfect day in a perfect life in the Hakuna Matata Falls.
- Pumbaa: I love the concept of swimming.
- Timon: I wonder why warthogs like you make a perfect swimmer.
- Pumbaa: I'm getting the hang of it. Who says pigs can't swim?
- Timon: Or who say a meerkat can't swim when we actually dig tunnels and find water to drink on.
- Pumbaa: Then why can't we take a walk?
- Timon: A walk? Why would we walk?
- Pumbaa: You and me Timon. We always do this every morning.
- Timon: Do we really have to do this? Fine. Let's go out there and take a nice walk.
- Pumbaa: I really gotta go. You know.
- Timon: Don't tell me you're going to throw a secret weapon on me.
- Pumbaa: Of course not. We're just going to have a nice walk, okay?
- Timon: Okay. Whatever you say.
- Pumbaa: Let's go!
- Timon: Alright buddy. You win. You really win.
(Timon and Pumbaa get off the water as Timon hop on Pumbaa's back as they leave the Hakuna Matata Falls and explore through the Pride Lands as we see jackals running, antelopes running, zebras walking, elephants blowing their trunks, ants crawling to the ant hills, birds like hornbills flying and crocodiles swimming in the lake with Timon and Pumbaa taking their walk throughout the savanna)
- Timon: Look how well the Circle of Life keep on moving.
- Pumbaa: It goes around and around like a string of a tape.
- Timon: Jeez, what make you look in the ground?
- Pumbaa: Just searching for grubs. That is one.
- Timon: Your tusks really make yourself a formidable of hardware, used to fend off attacks by predators such as hyenas and cape dogs.
- Pumbaa: I'm a very powerful pig like what everyone said.
- Timon: I got a big guy with a big diet. That's what make a partner real bad.
- Pumbaa: Hey.
- Timon: I meant to say real good, but working hard is just striving real bad. You know i'm saying?
- Pumbaa: I'm not in the mood of crashing into the mud.
- Timon: I know Pumbaa. Let's keep looking around for grubs while we're at it.
- Pumbaa: Hakuna Matata.
(In the mongoose colony, a group of mongooses are looking around as they spot on Timon and Pumbaa walking)
- Shauku: Hey, are you seeing what I'm seeing?
- Mongoose #1: That is a warthog.
- Shauku: What is on the warthog's back? A civet?
- Mongoose #2: That is a meerkat.
- Shauku: A meerkat?
- Mongoose #3: I thought the meerkats moved out of the undergrounds a while ago.
- Mongoose #4: We always see one meerkat riding on the warthog.
- Mongoose #5: What if we give the warthog a massage?
- Mongoose #6: How about a nice spa make a big massage for the warthog?
- Mongoose #1: Yeah, let's step on the warthog for a nice spa.
(The mongooses walk as they reach into Pumbaa's body as Timon feels awkward by the mongooses' arrival on Pumbaa's body)
- Timon: What's going on?
- Mongoose #1: Aw, is his skin smooth?
- Mongoose #2: He is clean.
- Mongoose #3: He make a clean nice racket of a tickle.
- Pumbaa: Hey, why are these mongooses standing on my back?
- Timon: Oh no you don't. Get out of my friend. I am riding on him first, not you guys.
- Mongoose #1: Give him some privacy. *push Timon out of Pumbaa's back*
- Timon: Hey! Come on, you kick me out of my own friend, I kick your group out of the way.
- Pumbaa: Uh, Timon? These mongooses are trying to make a massage out of me.
- Timon: Silly Pumbaa. They're only here to bother you.
- Shauku: We're just giving him a massage.
- Mongoose #1: He make a nice smooth bed.
- Mongoose #2: So cozy.
- Mongoose #3: I can feel the back.
- Pumbaa: *walk out of the mongoose colony as the mongooses get off his back* Get outta here. That tickles.
- Mongoose #1: Spa's over!
- Mongoose #2: He's like the biggest warthog i've ever seen!
- Mongoose #3: We should do it again someday.
- Timon: Back off! No one step on my friend!
- Pumbaa: Aw come on Timon. Maybe they want to make a nice effort on me.
- Timon: They were bothering you. Do you know how annoying it is to step on people backs?
- Pumbaa: It's ain't that bad.
- Timon: Ugh, *get on Pumbaa* Let's go.
- Pumbaa: Right at you. *continue walking*
- Timon: Who think a mongoose make a nice massage for a warthog?
- Pumbaa: You know I do.
- Timon: Silly Pumbaa.
- Pumbaa: Let's go for a worm.
- Timon: I swear to grub, next time if the tick bugs come at your skin, i'll be trying to eat the grubs out of your skin.
- Pumbaa: It's still going to tickle me.
- Timon: Whatever you say Pumbaa. I'll still protect after all in the savanna.
- Pumbaa: I'm always a pig after all.
(Timon and Pumbaa continue to walk in the savanna after the mongoose spa)
