I give you the king of the jungle.

Where the devil is my egg timer?

- Tookie-Tookie.

- Tookie!

I'm fed up with this felonious fowl

stealing everything in the kitchen.

- Miserable creature.

- Tookie-Tookie.

George, what on earth

are you doing?

George just feel like looking

a little special today, that all.

Possibly there is a stirring

of special feelings within you?

Uh-huh.

George having stirring

of special feelings right now.

I see.

- Good thing she same species, huh?

- Yes.

Ape?

Tell George how to make

Ursula George's mate.

Please? Brother?

First, command her attention by bulging

out your cheeks and pursing your lips.

- Show George.

- All right. Just like this. Watch.

Even puffier.

Next, display your interest

by drawing back your upper lip...

jutting your jaw forward

and exposing your teeth.

- Like this? Like this? Right?

- Now, throw a handful

of leaves in the air...

then leap about and hoot

in a dominant fashion.

- Like this, Ape?

- Good. She won't be able to resist that.

Ursula!

Gosh, this trail's really rough.

"Ursula! Ursula!"

- Hey, come back here.

- They're not abandoning us, are they?

They are threatening.

If you don't mind, Kwame...

I have a knack for getting

the most out of my employees.

- Do you mind if I address the porters?

- They only speak Swahili.

Well, I just happen to have

a Swahili phrase book.

Be my guest.

I think our troubles are over.

Tell them I'll pay 50 zamoles

a man if they'll help me capture

the white ape and bring him back alive.

Alive? After he, uh...

Well, he pulled Ursula's scrunchie off,

we know that much.

- 50 zamoles a man. What do you say?

- They only speak Swahili.

One hundred zamoles a man

and you got a deal.

- Hey, wait a second.

- Done.

Meanwhile, at a very big

and expensive waterfall set...

Ursula was amazed that she was lost

in the wilderness with a jungle man.

Here I am, lost in the wilderness

with a jungle man.

I should be terrified that no one

will ever find me, but I'm not.

- Thank you.

- For what?

For this adventure.

It's what I've always wanted.

King of jungle

only here to help.

Mr Boombastic

The awesome, boombastic

romantic, fantastic lover

Sade

Mr Lover-Lover

- Mr Lover-Lover

- George, are you okay?

- Mr Lover-Lover

- Your face is swelling up like...

- Ah, Mr Lover-Lover

- Is something in my teeth?

Okay.

Listen, um...

I'm gonna step outside

for a little air, okay?

- Are you sure you threw the leaves?

- Yeah, George threw leaves.

Well, cheer up, old boy.

I spent all day...

poring through every book

in the library...

and finally I found this.

It's positively packed full

of human courtship rituals.

Listen.

"What's a nice girl like you...

doing in a plane like this?"

Go for it.

- Hi.

- Hi.

What... Oh.

- Did you fight a crocodile for this?

- Oh. No, George not fight.

Crocodile have toothache.

George pull tooth.

Crocodile give to George after. Gift.

Good juju.

- Juju?

- Good luck. Protection.

I have something like that too.

Want to see?

It's not worth anything.

I found it in a cereal box

when I was ten years old.

It's my good luck. My juju.

- Can l...

- Oh.

I want you to have that.

For George?

That's the nicest present

George ever get.

Thank you.

- All right, man.

- Yeah.

It dancin' time.

- Ursula, wanna dance?

- Oh, no. Thanks.

- I'd be too embarrassed.

- What mean "embarrassed"?

That's when you feel stupid

in front of other people.

You know, like

they're judging you.

- You've never felt that?

- No.

There are no other people.

- Good point.

- George not feel stupid.

Sometimes George smash

into tree, and sometime...

Sometimes George fall out of tree house,

but not feel stupid.

Something good

always happen after.

George just lucky, I guess.

One day I looked up

and there you were

No people here to look stupid for.

Just George.

Like a simple question

looking for an answer

Now I am a whale

Listening to some inner call

Swimming blindly to throw

myself upon your shore

What if I don't find you

when I have landed

Would you leave me here to die

on your shore, stranded

Think I know why

the dog howls at the moon

I think I know why

the dog howls at the moon

I sing dela, dela

When I'm with you

I burn for you

I've been waiting for you

all my life

Hoping for a miracle

I've been waiting day and night

Day and night

I've been waiting for you all my life

Waiting for redemption

I've been waiting day and night

I burn for you

And so it came to pass

that George of the Jungle...

attended his first co-ed dance.

But his rapturous rendezvous with the

urban heiress was to be short-lived...

as the very next morning, Kwame and

his men were drawing dangerously close.

That is, dangerously close to shoving

a coconut up Lyle's sleeping bag.

That's it! I've had it!

I am the richest, smartest, handsomest

guy here, so I get to go first.

There's an elephant around here.

Bad guy falls in poop.

Classical element of physical comedy.

Now comes the part where we throw

our heads back and laugh. Ready?

Ready.

Those were nowhere near

properly digested.

In case anybody's

wondering, I'm okay.

Have you cleaned my lighter yet?

Come on, come on.

That was Ursula.

Did you hear that?

She's alive. Ursula...

Why don't you bring on a brass band

while you're at it, you nit?

We gotta be stealthy here, right?

Stealthy. Right.

Party time.

We'll take it from here.

Get off!

It's him!

Hey, it's a dude. I told you

there weren't no white ape.

You dragged me all the way

up here to look at some guy

in a leopard-skin bikini.

- If I wanted to see that,

I could've stayed in Miami.

- Wait a second.

The white ape is a man?

Let me at him.

Hang on. Could you, uh, see

if he's dangerous?

Here, boy!

Where's my little doggy?

I've got a feeling he's not.

Okay. I'll go first.

If he gets aggressive,

I'll scare him off with this.

- I thought that was a lighter.

- It is a lighter,

but he doesn't know that.

Ursula, it's me.

Lyle. Your man.

I've come for you. Are you okay?

Ursula!

- Lyle, what are you doing here?

- Thank God.

Mushy bear, you're safe.

I don't believe it!

Oh, I was so afraid

for your safety.

Lyle! Don't get all smoochy

and disgusting with me, okay?

I remember what you did

when that lion came.

What are you talking about?

I was fighting the lion the whole time.

You were just so terrified

you don't remember.

- I remember George,

that's who I remember.

- George?

Look over there.

What do you see?

- An elephant.

- But what has the elephant got?

- Fleas.

- Ivory! White gold.

Listen, Ursula, I have no idea what

you're talking about. Can we just go?

- George!

- Ursula!

Ready...

aim...

Run, Shep!

Run for your life!

Did that monkey just speak?

That monkey just spoke.

- I knew it.

- He talked.

- Shoot it now.

- Huh?

With the tranquillizer gun, idiot!

That ape's worth a fortune.

No!

Stop, or I'll shoot!

- No!
