Editing Ash's Adventures of The Lion King/Transcript (section)

== Water Hole Scene/I Just Can't Wait to Be King ==
{Camera is at a ground angle slightly behind the cubs and humans walking towards the water hole. Zazu is visible in the sky overhead.}

* '''Zazu''': Step lively. The sooner we get to the water hole, the sooner we can leave.
* '''Misty:''' Well Ash, it looks like we can let our water Pokémon take a dip in the water hole.
* '''Ash Ketchum:''' Yeah, and they get to meet the other animals in the Pride Lands.
* '''Pikachu:''' Pika.

{Camera angle changes to the cubs from an immediate real view}

* '''Nala''': {Whisper} So where we really going?
* '''Simba''': {Whisper} An elephant graveyard.
* '''Nala''': Wow!
* '''Simba''': {Whisper} Shhh! The others.

'''Nala''': {Whisper} Right. So how are we gonna ditch them?

{Camera switch to just above Zazu. We hear the cubs whispering back and forth below}

* '''Simba''': {Whispering} Oh, I know how we can -
* '''Zazu''': {Flying down} Oh, just look at you two. Little seeds of romance blossoming in the savannah. Your parents will be thrilled... {He lands in front of them} ...what with your being betrothed and all.
* '''Simba''': Be-what?
* '''Zazu''': Betrothed. Intended. Affianced.
* '''Ash Ketcum''': What are you trying to say Zazu?
* '''Brock:''' I think I know he saying that one day that both Simba and Nala are going to be married in the future.
* '''Simba''': Yuck!
* '''Nala''': Ewww.
* '''Simba''': I can't marry her. She's my friend.
* '''Nala''': Yeah. It'd be too weird.
* '''Zazu''': Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but you two turtle-doves have no choice. It's a tradition...

{Simba mimics Zazu during these last words}

* '''Zazu''': ...going back generations.
* Brock: He does have point because that's how things are in life. I could write a book about the secrets of love and marriage!
* Misty:  I guess that book would be your autobiography?
* Brock: (Sighs)
* Misty: I have a natural understanding the the matters of marriages.
* Brock: Huh, sure you do. (Before get ear pull by Misty)
* Misty (take Brock away) I think you need a cool off in the Watering Hole.
* Brock: NOT THE EAR AND THERE ARE NO BEAUTIFUL GIRLS IN THE PRIDE LAND!!
* Ash Ketchum: (shook his head and thoughts) Some things never change. (flet a tug who turned out to be Nala) Hmm?
* Nala: Ash, what does Misty mean about "natural understanding the the matters of marriages"?
* Simba: Yeah and what Brock says about "there are no girls in pride land"?
* Ash Ketchum (to Simba & Nala as he keel down to their level) Well you see, you two, Misty, know some about Loves and Marriages.
* Simba: Really?
* Ash Ketchum: Well not all the time and as for Brock, he has a things about with beautiful girls.
* Nala: How come?
* Ash Ketchum: You see whatever Brock see some beautiful girls, he trying to ask them to be his girlfriend but sometimes there are some already got boyfriend.
* Pikachu: (agreed) Pika.
* Ash Ketchum: Or some are proposed to marriage.
* Pikachu: (agreed) Pika.
* Ash Ketchum: or some is not interesting with Brock.
* Pikachu: (agreed) Pikachu.
* Ash Ketchum: But luckily for me, Misty and Brock's Croagunk are keeping Brock under control.
* Pikachu: (agreed) Pika, Pikachu.
* Ash Ketchum: So, does this make any sense to you now.
* Simba: Maybe but still, I can't marry her. She's my friend.
* Nala: Yeah. It'd be too weird.
* Ash Ketchum: Maybe so, but who knows. One day in the deep future, you two might end up together as the new king and queen of the pride land, (to Simba) just like your parents, Simba.
* Pikachu: (agreed) Pikachu.
* '''Simba''': Well, when I'm king, that'll be the first thing to go.
* '''Zazu''': Not so long as I'm around.

{Start fading in intro to "I Just Can't Wait to Be King"}

* '''Simba''': Well, in that case, you're fired.
* '''Zazu''': Hmmm... Nice try, but only the king can do that. {Pokes Simba's nose}
* '''Nala''': Well, he's the future king.
* '''Simba''': Yeah. {Thumping Zazu's chest} So you have to do what I tell you.
* Ash Ketchum: What?!
* Misty: What? Simba, you're still the prince. So you can't tell us what to do yet!
* '''Zazu''': And with an attitude like that, I'm afraid you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king indeed.
* '''Simba''': Hmph. Not the way I see it.

{Full song, colors change to wild pop-African. Background abruptly becomes surreal, brightly-colored cartoon style.}

'''[Simba]''' 

I'm gonna be a mighty king

So enemies beware!

'''[Zazu]''' 

Well, I've never seen a king of beasts

With quite so little hair

{Plucks Simba's hair where mane would be}

{Simba gets a mane of leaves}

'''[Simba]''' 

I'm gonna be the mane event

Like no king was before

{Climbs a log}

'''[Simba]''' 

I'm brushing up on looking down

I'm working on my ROAR

{On "ROAR" he shouts at Zazu, startling him backwards into a puddle}

'''[Zazu]''' {Drying on what appears to be a hanging towel} 

Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

{Camera pulls back; reveals the "towel" as the ear of a red elephant which hits Zazu with its trunk as with a golf club, sending him skipping like a stone across a shallow pool of water; the cubs follow immediately.}

'''[Simba]'''

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

* '''Zazu''': {Speaking} You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think...

{For this verse Zazu is making quick spoken-part replies to each line. Simba and Nala are on each side of Zazu; as he turns to talk to one, the other makes faces at him.}

'''[Simba]'''

No one saying do this

'''Zazu''': [Now when I said that, I -]

'''[Nala]''' 

No one saying be there

'''Zazu:''' [What I meant was...]

'''[Simba]''' 

No one saying stop that

'''Zazu''': [Look, what you don't realize...]

'''[Simba and Nala]''' 

No one saying see here

'''Zazu:''' [Now see here!]

'''Simba''': Free to run around all day

{Simba and Nala are now riding ostriches}

'''Zazu''': [Well, that's definitely out...]

'''[Simba]''' Free to do it all my way!

'''[Zazu]''' {Flying ahead of the cubs, looking back to speak to them and so not paying attention ahead}

I think it's time that you and I

Arranged a heart to heart

{Flies into a rhino}

'''[Simba]''' 

Kings don't need advice

From little hornbills for a start

{Zazu lights on a branch}

'''[Zazu]''' 

If this is where the monarchy is headed

Count me out!

Out of service, out of Africa,

I wouldn't hang about... Aagh!

{The camera pulls back to reveal Zazu has lighted on a log being washed towards a waterfall. It disappears over the edge. Zazu yells in surprise, but quickly reappears flying towards and through the camera.}

'''[Zazu]''' 

This child is getting wildly out of wing

'''[Simba]''' 

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

{The cubs trot up a corridor of zebras standing at attention; when Zazu, Ash and co. follows, they all turn and raise their tails; Zazu covers himself with a wing.}

* '''Misty and Brock:''' Ugh.

{Nala and Simba dance about under a moving herd of elephants while the African flute leads a short instrumental sequence. Zazu flies overhead, looking for them. Simba ends up standing on a giraffe's head.}

'''[Simba]''' 

Everybody look left

Everybody look right

{Zazu squawks as the herd tramples him}

{Simba hops up a ladder of giraffe heads}

'''[Simba]''' 

Everywhere you look I'm

Standing in the spotlight!

{Sliding down a giraffe's neck into theatrical pose}

* '''Zazu''': {Speaking, but in strict time} Not yet!

'''[Chorus]''' 

Let every creature go for broke and sing

Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing

It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling

{The Chorus lions close mouth of hippos, monkey, buffalo , giraffes, ostrich birds etc. forms a pyramid with the cubs on top}

'''[Simba & Chorus]'''

Oh I just can't wait to be king!

Oh I just can't wait to be king!

Oh I just can't waaaaaait lion roar gone birds teewt gone happy ... to be kiiiiiiiiiing! lion Roar

{The pyramid topples leaving the rhino sitting on Toucan Crash 1)

* '''Zazu''': {Muffled} I beg your pardon, madam, but... GET OFF! ... Simba? Nalaaaaaaaaaa!
* '''Misty:''' Poor Zazu.
* '''Pikachu:''' Pika Pi.
* '''Ash Ketchum:''' And we lost Simba and Nala!
* '''Misty:''' Huh? Where'd they go! We were supposed to watch over them!
* Ash Ketchum: Mufasa is not going to happy when he finds out about this!
* Brock: Alright you two calm down. We'll find them.
* Ash Ketchum: Okay, Brock, maybe we'll have better luck if we look for them in the sky. (grabs Noctowl's pokeball.) Noctowl I choose you!
* Noctowl: (appears)
* Brock: Good idea Ash. I'll help too. Golbat I choose you!
* Golbat: (appears)
* Ash Ketchum: Okay guys, we gotta find Simba and Nala split up and report back in half an hour.

(Noctowl and Golbat files off to find the two cubs in the sky.)

* Brock: I'll catch up with you later. I'll help Zazu out.
* Misty: He's right. We have to go and find Simba and Nala.
* Ash Ketchum: (nods and turns to Pikachu) Let's go Pikachu.
* Pikachu: Pika.

(Ash, Pikachu, and Misty ran off to find Simba and Nala while Brock stay behind.)
