Khumba Page #3

What I've been through,

the doctor visualized

Visualized.

I think I get the picture.

I know they all make fun,

but when all is said and done,

I was ostracized.

Oh, really now, Bradley.

Oh, yeah, laugh at me.

Laugh away, make fun.

But when all is said and done,

I was ostracized

Some birds are just

not meant to be caged,

hey, Bradley?

Maybe some birds aren't

meant to be let out.

I...

And you, Mama V? What are

you on the run from?

Well, it's just not that

important where Mama V is from.

Mama V, don't look back.

Our eyes are only

on where we're going.

Right, Mama V?

Sometimes the past

is best left buried.

Now, I think it's time

for some shut-eye.

Night, Bradley.

Night, Mama V.

Night, Khumba.

Night.

Maybe tomorrow we'll find

ourselves a water hole.

A safe one.

Dog, dog, dog.

All I smell is dog.

I can fix that. I've got a natural

blend of herbs and flowers.

I'll go get you some.

It kills nasty odors dead.

It works on dog, cat, dog...

Dead dog?

I'm trying to avoid that.

The Karoo may be

going to the dogs,

but it doesn't mean

I have to eat one.

The heartburn is a killer.

No!

Khumba.

The Karoo all

looks the same to me.

Did we pass that bush already?

This was on the map, right?

Yeah, I'm sure we're

going the right way.

You better be sure.

'Cause me feathers

go limp in this kind of heat.

Leave off with

the mothering already.

So you don't want

any of this, huh?

I'm still bloated

from breakfast.

Mmm.

Wow, Tombi

would love it out here.

Oh, hello, hello.

Bradley, I wouldn't.

I told you!

Hey, those three peaks

were definitely on the map.

Come on, Bradley.

Let's go!

Let's go, Bradley.

I saw it around here somewhere.

With three peaks, I think...

What's this all about?

And it was right there.

Where? There?

Nigel!

Here, there? I'm confused.

- Oops.

- Nigel!

You found the map.

Yeah, sorry.

Are you sure

it was a map, Tombi?

Yes, and it had to be

where Khumba was going.

What's that?

There's a rustle.

Phango, he's at the fence again.

Who's at the fence?

Thembe, help me.

It's Seto, quick.

He left the fence?

What was he thinking?

I... I followed

Khumba's tracks

into a dry riverbed.

Only Phango's tracks came out.

So there was... there was

nothing left of him?

With Phango, there never is.

So Khumba is dead then.

But maybe he's still alive.

And he's following the map?

All that we can hope for

is that your friend,

your son, did not die in vain.

Mkhulu.

Seko, wait. Are you

just going to give up?

This is a sad day.

Very sad.

But Mkhulu is right.

Now it will rain. Dad,

how can you say that?

Everyone's thinking it.

I'm just saying it.

Right?

Uh, right, Dad.

Run, run!

Go around.

We got to go through.

And ruin our feathers?

Ostriches first!

You can do it, Bradley!

What's going on?

What is it, Captain?

Zebra crossing.

I don't like it when we stop.

Why the rush, fellows?

Migration season already?

This is an emigration.

What Kress means, madam,

is that we are leaving.

I thought he was Kress.

No, man.

That's Kress.

I'm not Kress.

I'm Freckie.

I'm Kress.

But I'm stuck.

Could you help us

get through the fence?

That's more than a ton

of lifting, Captain.

Help!

Hush, Bradley.

At least.

Right, team.

There's only one way.

Oaks, scrum!

What's that mean, eh?

We breaking for rugby?

Aye, you, too.

Me?

Yeah, get behind uh...

Freckie.

Uh...

Hey, I'm not Freckie.

I'm Freckie.

Let's get on with the emigration.

I thought we were leaving.

Let's get to it.

Why are you leaving?

No water. Yeah, we're in

search of greener pastures.

Freckie!

I'm Freckie.

You, take the left.

Ah, poor Saki.

He lost his brother to Phango

just yesterday.

Not me.

He got Percy.

I'm Percy.

I'm right here!

But that's Percy.

Percy's dead, man.

Hello, I'm alive!

Ah, just scrum!

Dodge.

A little tighter, Saki!

Ah! Can you feel

our power?

Hey, Percy!

You're alive!

Yeah, yeah.

Ah, I love a good scrum.

Hey, Freckie!

I'm Freckie!

That's me.

I'm Freckie.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Stay well, eh?

Look after yourself.

Hey, Percy.

You're alive, Percy.

Yeah, yeah, me, too.

Leave some water

for the rest of us.

Oh, you got mud in my mane.

You got mud in my girl's mane?

You want some, too, huh?

I can fix that.

Fight, fight, fight!

Hey, watch it.

With some fervor.

Hey, knock it off.

Where's Mkhulu?

What is going on?

Not enough water to go around.

Who almost finished the water?

Well...

I'll handle this, Mkhulu.

I'm in charge now.

Someone has to be in control.

What's happening?

Not so tough, now,

are you, big fella?

Zuki, you're spooking Nigel.

Dad, the waterhole is empty.

Khumba's stripes had nothing

to do with the rains.

We need to leave.

We're leaving?

Khiriki?

And get us all killed?

Now Phango has had

a taste of zebra,

do you think he'll stop

at just one?

Oh, but we're staying.

Staying.

Ow!

No, no biting. Only throwing!

I have seen the magic waterhole.

Hallelujah!

Woo-hoo!

I've got to hand it

to you, Khumba.

You sure are one of a kind.

This is incredible.

I'm feeing the magic.

I'm feeling the magic.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Oh, lovely.

My wandering days are over.

What's everybody looking at?

Who are they?

Hey, hey!

Welcome to

Ying's Animal Sanctuary.

We're the most diverse

species in southern Africa!

I'll take refuge

in this man made...

natural waterhole,

where all worries of Phango

are far from the mind.

Escape with the sublime fusion

of authentic African experience.

Come celebrate the

magnificence that is you!

Don't mind if I do.

Yeah, you that is

our drinking water.

So neat.

Check the coat!

What is that, Dad?

Wow!

I never...

So Afrozan!

He washed his stripes off.

Fascinating.

A natural variation.

Something wrong

with being different?

Nothing wrong at all, Miss.

I'm the only endangered

species in here, you know.

Can't be too many

of you around, are there?

They're going to love you!

That's enough now.

Being unique

comes at a price, though.

Everyone wants a piece

of you, right, mate?

Now, the show

is at five o'clock sharp.

So if you want food,

play to the camera,

be on time, and on your game.

Oh, thanks, but...

we ought to move on.

Oh, man.

We're just passing through.

Really?

Yes, right there.

Ooh, child!

Yeah.

If them farm

birds could see me now,

left behind on the ostrich farm

year after year,

while they got to go

to La Abattoir.

Bradley, an abattoir

is a slaughterhouse.

It sounds French.

It must be fancy.

Come on, Bradley.

We have to keep going.

Hey, I'm grooming

for stardom here.

Mama V. This waterhole is

safe from Phango, little one.

- But it's not the magic waterhole.

- Magic?

How much more magic

could one zebra need?

We need to keep heading

for those three peaks.

There?

Or there?

Or there?

There?

Or there, there, there?

Oh, look. There!

I'm not giving up.

I knew it.

A fellow survivor!

I know it's out there.

Ay, that's the way to...
