Fuli: We're gonna design it no matter what.
Bunga: Whatever we do, we're going design it with a lot of love and bugs.
Fuli: Bugs? Ew. No one want to see a bug crawling on the walls.
Bunga: Fine. Just design the rock with leafs.
Fuli: It's going to smell like roots when we throw all the leafs around the rock.
Kion: Don't worry, they won't smell bad.
Beshte: So are we going to design this rock or what?
Ono: Oh yes we will.

Bunga: The food are fruits?
Fuli: You spread fruit juice all over the floor!
Bunga: It's just for decorations. Don't you know how to design for a birthday party?
Beshte: We know. She's a little upset right now.
Bunga: Come on, no one want to be mad on this very special day at Pride Rock.
Fuli: Whatever, i'm just ignoring you.
Kion: Guys, we can't let this party go down the drain.
Ono: We're having guests over. So we all have to make it perfect before the king comes back.
Bunga: We get it Ono. Stop worrying about yourself.
Ono: Okay.
Beshte: Let's get this place going before the real deal.
Bunga: Gotta clean up the bits.

(Back at Hakuna Matata Falls)

Timon: Anyone wanna go next?
Galago: Ooh me!
Pumbaa: We don't have much time. Go ahead if you may.
Galago: Me and my group used to go on vacation to the Tree of Life.
Timon: Wait, that's Rafiki's tree.
Galago: I know. But it is the most beautiful place you'll ever been to. It is shown with light and power just like the Lair of the Lion Guard.
Simba: Many animals said that the branches goes around in a loop just like a slide.
Timon: In a water park?
Galago: Kinda like it.
Pumbaa: Oh boy, i really wanna slide on one of those.
Galago: You can't. It's a place for life around the tree.
Timon: Never getting too old for this.
Simba: That's all the people we have gone through.
Timon: Well, that's it for today. You guys are the very best and you are phenomenal.
Simba: Who want to visit Pride Rock for a little tour?
Timon: We're all going together.
Pumbaa: Hakuna Matata. Everyone line up.
Simba: Wait a minute, we don't need to line up.
Timon: This is not school, huh?
Simba: We can walk on our own.
Timon: Then let's walk all together to Pride Rock.
Pumbaa: Good idea.

(Back at Pride Rock, everything was set up for the party)

Kion: We done everything that we could.
Bunga: It's a wrap-up.
Fuli: Are you guys ready to celebrate before the kings come back?
Nala: You know i am.
Sarabi: My son is going to be so proud.
Tiifu: We worked hard on everything.
Zuri: Isn't Simba going to recognize all the fruit we throw into the rock?
Nala: It doesn't matter. It's just the smell of the fruits.
Beshte: Like what my father said "If you're planning a surprise party, you must keep it a secret and not tell it to the animal from having a surprise."
Bunga: Well said my friend.
Ono: Hapana! They're coming back.
Rafiki: It's an emergency! Everyone hide!
Zazu: Hide to your places!
Nala: The king is coming back. Hide everyone, hide!

(While the Pride Landers are hiding, Simba, Timon, Pumbaa and the animals of the Hakuna Matata Club are walking into Pride Rock)

Timon: Gosh, what's with the fruits all over the place. Something smell suspicious.
Galago: I think Pumbaa farted again.
Pumbaa: Hey, that wasn't me.
Simba: Can we not get into a fight? We already gone into a fight on the first day.
Timon: Everyone get nervous on the first day.
Pumbaa: You won't know what to do on your job.
Timon: Just like sentry duty.
Pumbaa: I don't do so well in crowds. So yeah, i farted in front of everyone.
Simba: Stop mentioning the past and let's go into the rock already.
Timon: But wait! We gotta have a little tour of your home.
Simba: Ugh, fine. Everyone follow me.

(At the peak of Pride Rock as Simba start touring the animals)

Simba: This is the peak. This is where we watch the view of the whole Pride Lands.
Timon: Can you see our jungle from here?
Simba: It's far away. Your home is far far away from ours.
Pumbaa: But we moved to Hakuna Matata Falls. It's not that far.
Simba: Yeah. If you moved from one place to another. Then you keep on moving to every place from around the land.
Timon: But that's not bad.
Everyone: *pop out of the rock* SURPRISE!
Simba: Whoa. What is going on?
Nala: Happy birthday Simba.
Makini: This is for you. *give the meat to Simba*
Simba: Ah, meat. Thanks Makini. *eat the meat*
Timon: What? They held a party for you?
Pumbaa: That's awkward.
Simba: Guys, i think we can call it a day for our club.
Timon: Let's party.

(The animals celebrate at Pride Rock by eating fruits and meat)

Rafiki: Any party worth making is worth making twice.
Simba: My man Rafiki.
Timon: Is it a birthday or a star day?
Pumbaa: Just a birthday.
Timon: I remember the time when the colony has my birthday at the jungle. We ate a lot of grubs.
Pumbaa: No worries.
Timon: No worries.
Kiara: It is so good to be in the gang.
Kion: You didn't know it was coming.
Simba: Thanks son. My father will be so proud in the sky when he see events like this.
Kion: Keep it coming.
Bunga: Zuka Zama! I got the biggest grub in the world.
Timon: That's not a big one, it's a small one.
Bunga: Oh yeah, everyone like to call it that.
Simba: Til the Pride Lands' end.
Everyone: Pride Landers defend!
