[insects chirp]

[elephant trumpets]

- [baby] Da... - [male child] Pssht.

[male] Ah, the savannah.

Home to so many dangerous animals.

- [male child] Ouch! Baba's hitting me. - [male child

[male] Home, indeed, to nothing but dangerous animals.

- [he roars] - Dada!

- A lion! - [he roars]

[laughs] No, Lion, you're not going to eat us!

But, of course, I'm going to eat you.

You look yummy.

Lions is the most dangerous-test-test of all.

Ah, no, my boy. They're not half as dangerous as...

- [bird call] - An eagle!

[they gasp]

[male] Mmm, meerkats.

Delicious.

Good, always on the lookout,

because all animals are dangerous.

- All of them? - All of them.

Really? Even butterflies?

Ah, butterflies. They're the most deadly-dangerous of all.

- Oh, wow. - Uh-oh!

Da!

[he gasps]

[male child] But how do you do it?

[female roars] Gotcha! All three of you!

- Grandmama! - [they laugh]

"Grandmama"? Never heard of her.

- [kids growl and giggle] - I'm a jackal and I'm hungry.

Tasty! Mm, delicious. Yummy!

You see? That's why even butterflies are dangerous.

- [baby giggles] - They distract you.

Yeah, and that's why we don't trust any animals.

With just one exception.

And what might that be?

Er, snails?

Erm, small fish?

Oh... very, very tiny, non-poisonous ants.

- Huh? - Mm-mm.

- Hm? - Hm?

- Meerkats. - Meerkats!

- Dada! - Exactly.

[baby chuckles]

And that's why we always stick to ourselves.

[all] Mmm!

But isn't that just... Uh!

[they giggle]

...boring?

[uplifting orchestral and vocal music plays]

[birdsong]

[snoring]

[snuffling]

[groans softly]

Hm.

[sniffs]

No.

Left, right, up, down.

- I just did. - But you didn't look behind you.

I was just about t...

Yes, Grandpapa.

And stay away from strangers!

[groans softly] I know, even butterflies.

Especially butterflies.

- Wait! I'm coming. - No, you're too small.

Oh, not fair!

[gasps softly]

[chuckles]

Hey.

[laughs]

Oh. There's not much left.

- No, sorry! - [meerkat gasps]

That was me. Today I was like so thirsty!

You know when you like get so super-thirsty and you just want to...

Drink the river dry?

Yeah, bwah! The whole river.

Well, obviously not the whole...

- Mm... - You are a big, ol' greedy river hog.

No, I'm Bristles.

- So you're funny, too? - You noticed. You're pretty funny, too.

- Yeah? - Sure. You're good at...

stand-up.

[Bristles laughs]

You get it? Stand-up.

That's, like, so funny!

Hey, we could be a double act: Bristles and...?

- Tafiti. - Well, hello, Tafiti!

- Bye, Bristles. - [bird of prey calls]

We're just getting to know each other. I've got more jokes.

- Hey, hold on a sec! - Stay away from strangers.

[Bristles] Stop. Help!

- They're all... - [Bristles] Help!

- [eagle screams] - ...dangerous!

- [Bristles] Help! - Hold on, I'm coming!

- Help! - Wait!

- [eagle strains] - [Tafiti and Bristles grunt]

[Bristles and Tafiti yell]

Let go!

[Bristles] Ahh!

[Tafiti] Bristles!

Whoa!

Oh, some other time.

[they yell]

[gasping] Thank you. Thank you so much. Th...

- Tafiti? - [muffled] Down here.

Oh.

- [Tafiti groans] - Sorry. You okay?

I'm fine. [bones crack]

But you're bleeding.

Oh... just a scratch.

- Doesn't it hurt? - No. No, no, no.

Huh?

Yes!

- Oh. - We've got some herbs at home, but...

Your home? [he gasps]

That's so kind. Just because I'm bleeding.

- No! You can't. Wait... - Ya-hoo!

If my grandpapa sees you...

[sniffs]

[Tafiti] Bristles, stop.

No, no, no. You can't just go to my home.

At last...

- Huh? - Hi.

- [Bristles grunts] - What on earth is that pig doing here?

- I'm Bristles. - Tafiti!

Grandpapa, an eagle attacked him and I just wanted to...

Tafiti, haven't you understood anything? No ifs, no buts.

- We stick to our own kind. - But he's bleeding!

- [Grandmama] Who's bleeding? - [Tafiti gasps]

No one.

Erm, I could come back some other time.

No, you won't be coming back at all.

Let me take a look.

- Ah, we'll take care of that in a jiffy. - [Baba gurgles and giggles]

Oh. [Baba giggles]

You're not allowed here!

Oh, I'm gone already.

- No, you're not. You have to leave now. - [Bristles grunts]

- Can't hear you. - You can't stay here.

- Stay here? Really? - Uh-uh.

[Baba giggles]

Ding dong.

[giggling] Ding dong.

Oh, er, ding dong!

- [they laugh] - Ding dong!

Hmph.

- [they laugh] - Oh.

Ding don... Argh...

- A snake! - [Tafiti] Oh no!

[Bristles grunts]

- [snake hisses] - Ding dong.

Baba! Quick, take my hand.

I got you.

Hey, you. Come on. Over here.

- [snake hisses] - [Grandpapa grunts]

[Grandmama] Oh.

[panicked breathing]

Here! Here!

Okay.

Hey, you! Here.

[claps] Over here!

Come here!

- Come here. - [Bristles gasps]

[snake hisses]

[Grandpapa] Oooh-ah!

- [they sigh] - [Tafiti] Phew.

That was close.

[low growling]

Er...

I'm sorry.

- [Grandpapa exhales sharply] - Da!

- The snake.. It bit you? - Ah, it's nothing.

- [he groans] - [Tafiti gasps] Grandpapa!

[ominous music plays]

[shallow breathing]

I'm so sorry.

It's all my fault.

Listen to me. I don't have much time left.

But you're going to get better, right?

- The poison works slowly, but it works. - Grandpapa...

Tafiti, I want you to promise me something.

Anything, Grandpapa. Anything.

Stay away from strangers.

They're dangerous. Like that Bristles.

You see the harm done by that stupid bush pig.

Oh...

Yes, Grandpapa. Yes.

Promise me this.

Stick to your own kind.

Always.

I promise, Grandpapa.

I promise.

Mice don't dance with elephants.

[Bristles moans softly]

I just wanted to apologize.

You're still here?

- I'm really sorry. - Just go.

But...

Now.

[Bristles whimpers]

[insects chirp]

[Tafiti sighs]

But there must be something I can do.

[low snoring]

He won't make it to the next rain.

The next rain? But that's soon.

There must be something we can do, something to save him.

Across the desert you must go...

by day, by dusk...

by starry night,

through Gate of Snakes

'neath Cobra bright,

to where the one blue flower grows...

full of magic...

full of might.

- [Grandpapa groans] - Grandpapa? Grandpapa!

A blue flower.

What kind of blue flower?

Hm. That's just an old legend.

- And... what's it about? - The blue flower. Huh.

- The one they say heals everything. - Everything?

Grandpapa, too? I'm going to go get it.

Tafiti, no one even knows if that flower exists.

I have to try. It's our only chance.

Do you know how many have gone looking for it already?

Lots.

And how many of them ever returned? Not one.

I don't care!

- [he grunts] - No, Tafiti.

I don't want to lose you as well.

[howling]

[snoring]

[uplifting orchestral music plays]

[music fades]

[insects chirp]

[adventurous music plays]

[bird hoots]

- [rustling] - Hm?

- [twigs snapping] - Hello? Who's there?

[insects chirp]

[grunting]

Oh.

[Bristles sniffs and grunts]

[he groans]

Argh!

Oh.

- [he yells] - You?

Who? Oh, yeah, right. Me.

What are you doing here?

- Have you been following me? - No. Never. Totally not.

You have been following me.

- How else am I going to save Grandpapa? - No way.

You are not coming with me.

Oh, says who?

[insects chirp]

I'm going to find a blue flower, too.

Across the desert, through that Snake Gate

where the co...

Ooh, are there really snakes there?

Yes.

Erm...

any idea of, like, how many?

You know, lots and lots of snakes

or maybe just one?

Lots and lots.

[Bristles gulps]

Oh.

[bird twitters]

[Tafiti] Hm.

Hm.

Huh.

Hmm.

Hm.

[Tafiti sighs]

Stop following me.

I'm not. We're just going in the same direction.

Just get lost.

[Bristles strains]

[thumping sound]

Funny we're going the same way, though, isn't it?

[grunts] It's fair enough. We're both trying to find a blue flower.

I told you, I'm going alone.

Whatever. You're going alone.

And I'm going alone, too.

It's not like it's your own personal path.

I can use it, too, you know. It's for everyone.

- Don't pay any attention to me, oh no. - Ah!

- Just pretend like I'm not here. - Bleurgh.

Ooh, hey, hey, hey. Wait!

How important is it that the blue flower is actually blue?

[Tafiti groans] Crucial.

Hmm.

Red's also a pretty good colour, though, isn't it?

Shame.

Could have saved us so much time.

Mm, it's not bad, actually.

No healing powers as such, but tangy... tangy!

Hm?

[gasps]

And... a very earthy aftertaste.

You should try one, Tafiti.

Tafiti?

[birdsong]

Tafiti!

[Bristles huffs and puffs]

Phew.

[he gasps]

Oh!

[he gulps]

Is this the desert?

It's a... It's a bit bigger than I thought.

No end in sight.

And beyond it, the blue flower.

Ooh, ooh! Hang on a sec.

[he strains]

No... no...

end in sight.

Whoops! Oh!

[eagle cries]

Or closer than we think.

Tafiti! Tafiti!

[high-pitched] Tafiti!

Look out! Tafiti!

- Tafiti! - Just go...

[they grunt]

[eagle cries]

What's wrong with you?

See? And now you've attracted the eagle.

- You are really such a great help! - No, it wasn't me. I...

Just leave me alone.

Wait, if we walk together, he can't get us.

- We're too heavy. - [eagle] Really?

Why would I want to get anyone?

[both] To eat us!

But my dears,

getting is now completely unnecessary.

Defenceless animals, all alone in the desert.

With no water and all those snakes and jackals around.

Well, actually, it's just a matter of time

and, bingo, dinner is served!

- With no effort on my part. - [Tafiti laughs nervously]

Off you go.

I'm right behind you.

Okay, there are trees on the horizon.

That must be an oasis. I can make it.

He can't do anything as long as we stick together.

We're not together!

Suit yourself.

Oh.

Hello, little meerkat.

Hmm... Wait!

We're just going the same way, alright?

Fine by me.

[laughs evilly]

[insects chirp]

[wind whistles]

[panting and groaning]

Is it still far?

[they pant]

[eagle cries]

How much longer?

[chuckles menacingly] Oh, not much longer at all.

Look! There! The oasis.

- [Tafiti laughs] - The oasis!

Oh yeah, I'm gonna dive in. I'm gonna...

swim.

Oh.

[both] Er...

Is that it?

[they grunt and groan]

Oh, okay, just a small sip.

[slurping]

[groaning] Water...

Come on. Let's get out of here.

[groaning continues]

Wa... ter.

- Oh. - [pelican] Water.

[pelicans squawk softly]

Water...

Water, but, of course, here.

Hey, we might need some, too.

[pelican groans feebly]

[chick whimpers]

Aw...

Water.

Oh.

Here.

Ah.

- [water trickles] - Works wonders!

- Thank you. - Yes, thank you.

- Time for take-off. - Where are you going?

We just follow the rain.

[pelicans squawk]

Is there another oasis around here?

No, that's the only one.

This is the only oasis?

But what are we going to drink?

Oh, no, no, no. It's all dried up.

What awful bad luck!

Argh! I'm so stupid, stupid, stupid.

Oh, Grandpapa.

- If only I'd gone alone. - Yeah. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

- [Bristles] Huh? - How can anybody be so stupid?

Giving away your water? Super-stupid.

- Eh! - Stupid, stupid, stupid!

- Shut your trunk! - Wasn't it your water, too?

- Stupid. - Argh!

Keep your eyes on him. He must have water somewhere.

What? Uh! Follow that mouse!

[huffing and puffing]

- [mouse] Get away. Get off! - [Bristles] Where's the water?

- You got water somewhere. Your pockets? - [mouse] Stop!

[gasps] He's disappeared.

[whispers] Quiet.

[wind whistles]

- There. - [mouse] Oh, oh!

Follow him! [he grunts]

- [Bristles grunts and sniffs] - [mouse] Stop that!

- I got him. - [mouse] Paws off, piggy.

[he strains] Eek! It's got thorns.

[mouse] Oh, it's got thorns! Like I said, stupid, stupid, stupid.

[Bristles grunts, mouse yells]

[groaning] Ow!

- Hey! That's mine. - Melons.

Everywhere!

- Yeah. And they're all mine. - Come on. You can spare one.

- That one maybe. - No.

- That one? - No.

- That one? - No! That one's for this evening.

And that one's for tomorrow. And for the day after tomorrow.

Those are for the summer.

Those are for the winter. That one's for my birthday.

That's a midnight snack.

- And those there... - Yes?

- They're for when things get tough. - When things get tough?

- Things are tough now! - If you give away your water...

- Yeah, exactly. We give it away. - Shh.

...then that's your problem.

My melons!

- Give me back... my... melons! - [distant howling]

- [Tafiti] Shh. - [mouse] My melons!

- [mouse] Give me back my melons! - [howling continues]

- [Bristles] Come and get them. - [mouse] That's mine.

Do you have to shout?

[Bristles gulps]

[howling]

Too late.

Argh, jackals.

[yelling]

[low growling]

Oh, no.

[growling and snarling]

[eagle cries]

Hey, fellas, that's my snack.

[growling continues]

There!

[they huff and puff]

Argh! Stay back!

I'll distract them. Ha!

[jackals yelp and whine]

[groaning and grunting]

[Tafiti strains]

[jackal whimpers]

[Tafiti chuckles]

Argh!

[Tafiti gasps]

[he strains]

[Bristles gasps]

[Tafiti] Oh...

- [Bristles] Pick on someone else! - [whimpering]

- Take that! - [jackal whines]

- Yeah! - And that! And that!

- And that! - Take that!

Hey, that's mine!

[jackals yelp and whimper]

[Tafiti grunts] Hi-yah!

- How do you like that? - [jackal whimpers]

[Tafiti grunts]

[Tafiti laughs]

[jackals whimper and whine]

[jackal snarls]

Erm...

[snarling]

Oh... oof.

[low growling]

[jackals snarl]

[snarling intensifies]

No, no, no!

- [slurping] - Huh?

This is great. [Tafiti chuckles]

No, not that one. Come on, Bristles. Quick.

- [Tafiti whispers] Let's go. - Er, okay.

[they pant]

[Bristles] Uh...

[Bristles groans]

After all that, I need some refreshment.

- [he grunts] - No, that's our last reserves.

Oh.

[female vocalizes] ♪ Tafiti, oh-oh ♪

- [Bristles] Now? - Not yet, Bristles.

- [Bristles] Now? - No.

- [Bristles] Now? - [weakly] No.

[they pant]

Now?

Okay.

- Are they gone? - [they gasp]

You?

- Our... our last reserves. - "Yours"? Hey! This melon is mine.

[Bristles snarls]

[Tafiti growls]

Okay, fine, whatever. Take it. Have it all.

No, no, wait. One for the road.

Yeah, that's me. Generosity personified.

I give away my last morsel, and what's left for me? Nothing.

- Not even a home. - Me neither.

- Not even a family. - Me neither.

The only thing I got left is my snout.

Just me and my trunk.

- Hey, I got one of those, too. - No, you don't.

- Hey, yes you do. - You bet I do. [he trumpets]

You call that tooting? Listen up.

- [high-pitched trumpeting] - Quiet.

Hey, that's nothing. Wait.

[both trumpet]

- What you doing? - I'm going.

- Okay, let's go. - Alone, Bristles.

Alone?

Like I should have done right from the start.

- Where's he off to? - Across the desert to the blue flower.

- Uh-huh. And which way's that? - Erm...

Hm.

Well, aren't you two lucky you got me, then.

What did you say? Across the desert?

Easy-peasy. We go straight ahead.

- Which straight ahead exactly? - [mouse] To the blue flower?

- [Bristle] Mm-hm. - Erm... er, that way.

- So, let's go. - [mouse] Let's hit the road, Mr. Piggy.

[Tafiti sighs and groans]

Didn't you want to go alone?

I am. We're just going in the same direction.

[mouse] You're lucky we met, you know.

I've been searching for someone like me my entire life.

And we got everything in common.

Snout, snout. Clever, clever. We're like...

- Twins. - ...twins! Exactly.

You even got some of my amazing good looks and stunning physique.

- [Bristles] I do? - [mouse] I'm thirsty. You thirsty, too?

- And how. - Hey, Bristles and I are thirsty here.

- Why don't you try walking for a bit? - We're fine like this. Right, Bristles?

Water... I need water.

Okay, I'll go ahead.

[bird caws]

[he gasps] Wow!

- [Tafiti sighs] - What is that?

- [mouse] I can tell you. That's... - [both] Water!

Correct! And who lead you here? Me, MKonga!

[both] Wheee!

Hey, wait up.

[they yell and shout]

[chuckling]

[both] Bleurgh! Ew!

That's salt water. You can't drink that.

Well, you can, but then you die in agonizing pain.

- Take a look around, fellas? - [both] Hm?

[they gasp]

If we stay here, we'll die.

No kidding. So, let's go back to the oasis, huh?

- All that way? - Without water?

Hey, stupids, you brought me here, you take me back.

- Right now! - [Tafiti] No! You brought us here.

You said it was the way to the blue flower.

Flower? In the desert? You guys are two baboons short of a troop.

- You lied to us? - Yeah. So?

What do you mean? "Yeah. So?"

I'm in the middle of the desert with two crazies who give water away,

destroy my melons,

and you expect me to tell you the truth?

- But... - At last, he gets it.

It's like watching a light go on.

One light? Thousands.

I wish Grandpapa could see this.

He loves the stars.

There's the Big Meerkat. And there's the little one.

The Elephant, the Baboon.

- The Cobra. - And what about the Mouse?

There's gotta be a mouse up there.

The Cobra ate it.

The Cobra?

The Cobra! The star sign!

Grandpapa was talking about the constellation.

[Bristles] Oh.

Across the desert you must go, by day, by dusk, by starry night,

through Gate of Snakes, 'neath Cobra bright,

for there the one blue flower grows!

Full of magic, full of might!

- [MKonga] Your point? - We should have gone that way.

Was that a shooting star? Oh.

No.

Can I make a wish anyway?

I always wish for the same thing.

A family.

You don't have any?

Any friends?

I don't have anyone.

Hey, I don't have no friends neither.

Weird.

Bristles, erm...

- It's really good you came along. - [Bristles gasps] Oh, Tafiti.

[Tafiti chuckles] Er...

[MKonga clears throat]

- [Tafiti sighs] - [Bristles] Hm.

- Come on then. - [MKonga] Ooh. Ah.

[they grunt and chuckle]

Hey, make some space, huh?

Ah, perfect. [he sighs]

Such a shame we're all going to die of thirst.

[eagle] Oh, yes.

Such a shame.

[footsteps]

[waves lapping]

Oh, we're already in heaven.

- We're in heaven. - Right in the middle of the clouds.

- [yawning] - Ah! There's somebody there!

- Hey, it's me. - Oh.

I think it's just fog.

Fog? Oh, right, of course.

[rustling]

- Can you hear that, too? - Huh?

- There! - Uh-oh, what's that?

- Er... - You don't know either?

[they yell]

Phew.

[beetle] Go away.

[beetle

Oh, excuse me.

[MKonga] Ow!

[he grunts] What do you think you're doing?

- Can't you see? - We are collecting water.

- Water. - [both] Water.

- Ow! - That's gross.

- Better than nothing. - Get your own water.

- Wait. Stop! - How do you do that?

- [dripping sound] - [MKonga] Hey, stop!

- [beetle chuckles] - [MKonga] Come on!

I meant no offense.

- Hey, look I did it, I... - [beetle] Watch out!

[MKonga] Come on, I'm thirsty.

- It doesn't work for me. You? - [MKonga] Come back!

- No, not at all. - [beetle] Get your own water!

[MKonga strains]

- [gasps] Bristles! Hold on, don't move. - Is there something on me?

Get it off me!

Just keep still.

Don't move.

[slurping]

[gasps]

[Tafiti] Ah.

[Bristles laughs] Now it's my turn again. [he burps]

That is so disgusting!

It's so good this little piggy came along.

I went the whole hog and saved our bacon. Get it?

Get it? Get it? Hog? Bacon?

Yes, we got it the first time, Bristles.

Very good. Wait.

Look.

[sizzling] Ow, hot!

- Help! Ouch! Ooh! - Bristles, what you doing? Not funny!

Ah! Is that hot?

If it's too hot, then you're too slow.

Can you smell burning?

- Oh dear. - Argh!

[he pants]

Coming through!

Argh! Ahh.

Ooh! Ouch!

A-ha! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Ah, hot!

Oh, ah... [he blows]

If it's too hot, then you're too slow.

Ah, ah, oh, oh...

- [Tafiti] What's that? - That's the salt pan.

- Why is it called a pan? - Simple. You go in, you get fried.

- [eagle cries] - Just like in a pan.

Oh, yummy! I love a good barbecue.

- But that's the way we have to go. - We'll never make it.

And if we go at night?

It's not so hot then.

Have you totally lost it?

Look at the size of it! You heard him, we go in there, we're roasty-toasty.

Roasty-toasty.

Tasty.

[laughs evilly]

Hm.

[hopeful lullaby music]

[soft whimpering]

Speed it up, will you? When the sun rises, we sizzle.

No wimping out. Come on, shake a leg. You can sleep when we're there.

[weakly] There. Not much further.

Look, Bristles.

We've almost made it.

- Oh, boy. - I'm coming in a sec.

- Come on, we'll lead the way. - What?

We can't leave Bristles lying there.

Why not?

Bristles? Get up.

[he strains]

Ah, jeez, the sun's coming up.

Huh? Oh no!

Ah. [he strains]

No, thank you. You can sizzle on your own.

You go on. I'll... I'll be fine.

You hear? He'll be fine. Let's move. We can make it without him.

- [Tafiti strains] Get up! - Okay, suit yourself.

Can't you just make a bit of an effort? Just for a few tiny steps?

Oh, you gotta be kidding me!

Well, how about that? The moment we've all been waiting for.

Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Both of yous! So stupid. It's even rubbing off on me.

Club Stupid's newest member.

- You're stupid, too. - [squawks] There's no need for that.

Tafiti, Bristles, that's it, you're getting up, now!

Shh. Just let sleeping hogs lie.

Shut up, scrawny.

- Move! - Alright, then, go for it.

Give it your all. Nothing like physical exertion to make you nice and tender,

my tasty little appetizer.

Did you hear? You're gonna fry.

- Oh, yes. Oh, yes. - [MKonga] You'll sizzle and bake.

That's it. Get up right now!

That's an ORDER!

[echoing] Order!

Order!

Will you be quiet? Some of us are trying to sleep here.

Shut it, hose nose.

[romantic opera music plays]

[MKonga sighs]

[MKonga sighs] Mm.

Terribly sorry, but that's my snack.

[eagle] Arghhhh!

Ooh! Ow! Ooh-ooh!

[he yelps]

Maybe it's time to go vegan.

[thud] Ow!

- [eagle yelps] - See what you've done to me?

I'm speechless. No words.

They just won't come. Not a single word.

I can't express myself.

My desires, my emotions, my sensitivity...

[elephant] Shh.

And you really don't mind about the...

[whispers] ...size issue?

[elephant] Soft, my sweet.

You're perfect.

Perfect?

She thinks I'm perfect.

She's absolutely perfect.

Mmm.

[Tafiti sighs weakly] Bristles...

[weakly] Tafiti.

[birds twitter and animals chatter]

Argh! What are you doing? I'm getting wet. Stop! Ah!

[Bristles laughs] Tafiti's scared of water! Tafiti's scared of water!

- It's not funny. - [MKonga] Wow.

- She is... She's just like me. - [Bristles grunts]

We are exactly the same.

Yes, it's unbelievable.

[MKonga] Wa-hoo.

Wow! Wa-hoo.

[they laugh]

[Bristles laughs]

[MKonga and elephant laugh]

[MKonga] Woo!

Woo-hoo!

You know what Grandpapa told me?

He said, "Mice don't dance with elephants."

- [Bristles] Huh? - [Tafiti] Hm.

Grandpapa.

Time to say goodbye, Tafiti.

And don't forget your promise.

No, I'm going to get the flower for you. I'm on my way.

If I don't leave now, it'll be too late.

- You stay here. Get some rest. - Oh, yes. Rest.

No, no! I'm coming with you.

- Okay, then let's go, guys. - Er, folks...

I know this will be a terrible blow, but you'll have to count me out.

- She's perfect. - Ohh. He thinks I'm perfect.

[they kiss]

My elegant, oh so elegant, heffalump.

- Eurgh. - We should, erm...

Yeah, let's go.

[MKonga] Oh, my trunk mate.

- Oh, mwah! Crinkle skin! - [elephant laughs]

[wind whistles]

[Tafiti groans]

- [Bristles] I couldn't help thinking... - We need to... find the flower.

Yeah, of course.

But after we've found it and Grandpapa gets better,

could I...

could I live at yours?

What?!

Argh!

[Tafiti coughs and splutters]

You're not a meerkat.

Yeah, but if mice can live with elephants...

- Grandpapa would never allow it. - Grandpapa! What?

But he's the one we're getting this stupid flower for.

I've got thirsty, fried, sizzled,

nearly died.

All because of Grandpapa!

[Tafiti] Huh. Oh.

If you hadn't...

If you hadn't thrown that snake around, we wouldn't need the flower!

And now Grandpapa is dying and time is running out.

And it's all because of you!

- Blaming me won't help Grandpapa either! - Turn back! I told you not to come.

Fine! Go get your stupid flower yourself!

That's what I wanted to do the whole time!

That's it! I've had enough. It's over.

Do you hear me? I'm... [drowned out by wind]

Hm?

Bristles?

Bristles!

Bristles!

Bristeeels!

[wind dies down]

[grunting]

[beetle gasps]

[Tafiti groans]

[he coughs and splutters]

Bristles.

Bristles?

Bristles! [echoes]

[he gasps] Bristles!

Is that you?

[panting]

Oh, Bristles.

Bristles!

Where are you?

[tearfully] I'm so sorry.

I'm really glad you came with me!

I really am glad you came with me.

I really am.

And now you're gone.

And I'm...

all alone.

[imitates Bristles] Tafiti!

Do you have any idea how annoying that was?

[imitates Bristles] Tafiti!

[chuckles softly] Intensely annoying.

But I really miss it.

- [Bristles in distance] Tafiti! - Exactly. Just like that.

[Bristles] Tafiti!

Bristles?

- Tafiti! - Bristles! Where are you?

Down here! [echoing]

[he gasps]

[Bristles] Careful! Don't get too close to the hole!

Wah! Ahhhh!

[he gasps and splutters]

Swim! You have to swim.

Er...

Hi-yah!

[Bristles pants] Tafiti!

Come on!

[panting] Wake up!

[Bristles grunts]

[Tafiti splutters and coughs]

[weakly] Bristles...

[softly] Tafiti.

I'm so sorry.

- No, I'm sorry. - No, I'm the one who's sorry.

Where are we?

[water drips]

[he gasps]

Did you draw that?

And Grandpapa?

Erm... let's go. There's no time to lose.

Look!

There seems to be a current.

- It has to go out somewhere. - What? No!

- No way I'm getting back in. - [Bristles] I see.

But there's no way we can get up there.

- Mm-mm. No more water for me. - Let me take a look.

[ominous music plays]

Huh?

Hey, it looks good.

It goes further round the corner. Let's go.

- No. I'm not getting wet. - You don't have to.

All aboard, up here. You won't even get your paws damp.

[Tafiti] Erm...

- [Tafiti] Oh! Whoa! - And away we go!

[Bristles chuckles] Don't worry. Fat floats.

♪ If you're not that good at swimming Then don't you go alone

♪ You need a bush pig you can float on Don't take chances on your own

♪ There's all kinds of danger And you may want to flee

♪ But you never ever have to If you just have me

♪ If you're not that good at swimming Then don't you go alone

♪ You need a bush pig you can float on Don't take chances on your own... ♪

Whoa... I guess this is the way we have to go.

[he gasps] Oh, no, no, no. Stop.

[Bristles] It's gotta be the way out.

Who cares! Turn around. Turn around now!

Uh, okay.

[Tafiti] Ah...

[Bristles strains]

Oh, hi. Er...

Do you know the way out?

- [they yell] - [Bristles] Hold on!

Ah!

- [low growling] - Faster! We have to go faster.

Ahhh!

Faster!

[yelling]

[Tafiti moans]

Ah!

[panicked moaning]

[growling]

[yelling]

Help!

[Bristles strains]

[low growl]

[grunting]

I'm stuck.

I'm stuck!

Quick. [he strains]

Help!

[farting]

[popping sound]

[graceful operatic singing]

[Bristles yells]

Bristles, are you okay?

Whoa, did you see that?

I can fly!

- I'm a rocket pig. Whee! - [fish sighs]

[he chuckles] Not bad, eh?

- Bristles! Bristles, look! We made it. - Huh?

The Gate of Snakes! Hang on. I'm coming up.

We...

[Bristles gasps] Whoa.

The Gate of Snakes.

The Gates of Snakes!

The Gate of... Uh!

Snake... A snake.

[hissing]

Help. Help.

Run!

Tafiti! Help!

[he whimpers]

[Tafiti gasps]

If I were you, I'd crawl home right now.

[Tafiti strains]

- [snake hisses] - Argh!

[Tafiti yells]

Argh!

Hey, try and get me!

Er...

[Bristles] Hm? No! No, don't!

If you wanna mess with someone,

you mess with me.

[Tafiti strains]

[Bristles] Hey!

Hey, if you wanna mess with someone...

...you mess with us.

[Tafiti] Try and get me. Too late.

Over here.

Hey! [Tafiti laughs]

Oh.

Get me!

- Come on! - [Bristles] Over here.

- [Tafiti] Hello. - Come on, then.

[Tafiti] Hey.

Hey!

Over here.

Ha-ha.

[Bristles chuckles]

[Bristles strains]

[Tafiti cries out]

[snakes hisses]

[low growl]

- Ha-ha! We made it! - [Bristles chuckles]

Mm.

Does it hurt?

Now let's go get that flower.

- Catch me if you can! Woo-hoo! - [Bristles chuckles] Coming to get you.

[they laugh]

[Tafiti sighs]

Huh?

Oh.

[low rumble of thunder]

Do you see any flowers?

Not one.

[bird caws]

[Bristles strains]

Hm.

[thunder rumbles]

- It was all for nothing. - Has it really got to be a... flower?

[rain patters]

[horn plays sombrely]

[thunderclap]

[sombre piano and orchestra music]

Maybe...

the blue flower really doesn't exist.

[music crescendos]

[music fades]

[birdsong]

[snoring]

[sniffs]

[snoring]

[Tafiti gasps]

[Bristles yawns]

[he gasps]

[Bristles snores]

[he sighs]

[Bristles grunts and yawns]

Bristles.

Bristles.

[Bristles grunts and groans]

Ohh.

[he gasps] Bristles!

- What are you doing? - Erm...

eating.

Hm. It's like... fruity...

with a spring bouquet.

You ate the blue flower.

What? No.

- You just ate the blue flower. - Really? Er...

You're sure it was blue?

We just came this long, long, deadly, dangerous way,

and you ate the blue flower!

Oh, no! No, no, no, no.

We finally find the blue flower and I eat it.

[he sobs]

And now Grandpapa's a goner, and it's all my fault!

Farewell! I ate the blue flower.

[Tafiti gasps]

The only blue flower in this whole, great, wide, gigantic world...

- And I ate it. - Bristles! Bristles! Look!

[Bristles] Wow!

[they chuckle]

Look! I found a blue flower. And another one.

And another. And another. And another flower.

And anoth... Wow!

Did we ever luck out with the rain!

Thank you, clouds! Thank you, rain!

Oh, the rain, the rain!

Oh, the rain, the rain, the rain...

The rain...

Bristles, the rain!

I know! The rain, the rain, the rain...

Don't you get it?

- It means we're too late. - What?

Grandmama said Grandpapa wouldn't survive the next rain.

Stupid rain clouds! Go and rain somewhere else!

Bristles, they are raining somewhere else.

They were here, now they're there. They're still not where Grandpapa is.

Huh? Not where Grandpapa is?

Ah! It still hasn't rained at Grandpapa's.

Maybe we really can do it.

- We just have to beat the clouds home. - How?

- We just fly faster than them. - [low rumbling of thunder]

- We're never gonna make it. - [bird squawks]

Not by ourselves we won't.

[he whistles]

- We'd be delighted to. - Really?

As we pelicans say, you scratch my beak, I'll scratch yours.

Great.

[Tafiti chuckles]

Okay, here we go.

[Bristles strains]

I'm in. Hey.

[eagle cries]

[pelican] It's not going to work.

Of course it will. It has to.

- Bristles isn't that heavy. - [pelican] Hm.

I'll lend you a hand. So, er...

Okay, erm, almost there.

- Tafiti? - [he strains]

Huh? What are you doing?

Get back in your beak immediately.

I apologize.

Can I try?

[sighs]

Tafiti, I can't come with you anyway.

- Remember your promise? - But...

Grandpapa was right.

I don't belong with you.

[eagle gasps and sighs]

It was all my fault with the snake.

But...

Tafiti, you have to go now.

If you don't, it was all for nothing.

[eagle sniffles] Oh.

But what about you?

I'll do fine. Hm.

So, said goodbye enough then?

Good.

Time for take-off.

I'll never forget you.

Ever.

[pelicans squawk]

[softly] Goodbye, Tafiti. Goodbye.

[pelicans squawk]

Ahem.

Argh!

[he sobs]

[elephant trumpets]

[elephant trumpets]

[MKonga] Mwah. Ah.

[elephant trumpets]

[he sniffles]

Mwah.

- [Tafiti] Hey! - [MKonga] Hey! Where's your friend?

Where's Mr. Piggy?

[Tafiti sighs]

[soft orchestra music plays]

Is this the desert?

It's, er... It's a bit bigger than I thought.

- Don't pay any attention to me, oh no. - Ah!

- Just pretend like I'm not here. - Bleurgh.

[yelping in distance]

[low growling]

[music drowns out speech]

[Tafiti chuckles]

Did you draw that?

We're almost there.

Just in time. It hasn't rained yet.

[birdsong]

[insects chirp]

Grandpapa, I'm coming!

- Grandpapa, I have it. - Tafiti!

The blue flower. I have it.

Oh, Tafiti, it's too late.

Too late? No... er...

Here. Come on.

Drink this. Come on.

Yes, yes. There we go.

- Come on. Yes. - [Grandpapa groans weakly]

Grandpapa?

Grandpapa...

[tearfully] Oh... no.

[he sobs softly]

[Grandmama] Oh, Tafiti.

[Tafiti] Mm-mm.

- [pelican kid] Oh. - Thanks, anyway, for your help.

[Tafiti sniffles]

[pelicans squawk]

[Grandpapa] Oh?

[pelicans squawk]

[Tafiti gulps]

- [Grandpapa yawns] What's the commotion? - [squawking]

- It's just the... - [they gasp]

- [both] Grandpapa! - You're alive!

Of course I am. I just overslept a bit.

- I think? - [Grandmama laughs] Overslept!

- What's up with you two? - Don't you remember? The snake bit you.

- A snake? Rubbish. I'd be dead. - But you were. Well, almost.

Ah, yes, a snake.

Grandpapa! Grandpapa!

Then why am I...

- Tafiti went and got the blue flower. - The blue flower?

- It really exists? - Yes.

You... saved me?

Yes, our little Tafiti. All by himself.

No, not all by myself.

What?

Bristles helped me.

Who?

Bristles.

- The one with the snake? - Of all the...

- But you promised. - Yes, I did.

And I wanted to do it alone, but, then, well...

[he sighs deeply] I'm sorry.

And where is he now,

this Bristles?

Far away.

And I'll never see him again.

[thunder rumbles in distance]

- Da! - [eagle cries]

- [they yell] Eagle alarm! - [they gasp]

- [Bristles] No! No! Help! Don't eat me! - [Baba] Ding dong.

- [Tafiti] Bristles! - I taste terrible.

Tafiti!

- Ding dong. - [Tafiti] Let go of him!

- Right now! - Shall I?

No, no. Please, please, don't.

Very well, then. Fasten your seatbelt.

[Bristles yells]

- [he groans] - Thank you for flying Eagle Air.

You're... not going to eat me?

- No. - But... why?

You two belong together.

[Baba gasps]

And besides, meat-based diets are overrated anyway.

[eagle squawks]

Bristles!

Tafiti.

[Grandpapa angrily] Tafiti!

[Bristles chuckles nervously] Hello. Anyone know when the next eagle departs?

Ha-ha-ha.

Er... actually, I really must be going, because I'm...

I'm urgently expected,

erm...

nowhere.

B... Bristles?

- Bristles! - [Grandpapa] Leave him.

It's better that way. We stick to our own kind.

No, it's not better at all.

It's better to have friends. And Bristles is my friend.

- Tafiti! - Grandpapa, yes. I know.

I promised you I'd stay away from strangers.

But I could never have done it alone. Never!

If Bristles hadn't been there, I'd have been eaten by jackals,

or I'd have died of thirst, or drowned, or been killed by the snake!

By myself, I'd never have found the blue flower.

- Really? - Without Bristles?

Never.

[thunder rumbles]

- But Bristles is a... - His friend.

[Baba burbles]

[Baba yawns]

[rain patters]

Oh, well, all alone again.

No big deal. [he chuckles]

Probably all for the best, really.

- Hey, wait! - Huh?

- Where are you going? - Me?

Er... well...

off.

But I don't want you to go.

No?

Please stay.

I don't think that's a good idea.

I'm not going to leave you all on your own.

But... Grandpapa?

What are you waiting for? You're going to get wet out there.

Come on, get inside.

I think he's talking to you...

You, too, Bristles.

Come on.

Me?

Yes, come on.

Bu... but...

You really mean it?

[Bristles pants excitedly]

How long can I stay? Do I have to go again when it stops raining?

No, of course not. You're staying for good.

- You mean, like, forever? - Yes, forever.

But how exactly do you mean forever?

It could be forever and ever,

or it could just mean end of the rainy season?

- Forever. - Oh... that's nice.

[Baba] Ding dong.
