Water Problem Gone Empty

[The next day in Africa]

Alex: Surprised to see me, Makunga? Well, I'm here to set things straight, like a real lion! Is this real enough for you? How about this? This is for setting me up! This is for stealing my dad's job! This is for humiliating my family! This is for ruining my friends lives! And making me look like a fool! YAAAHH!!! Had enough? Sure, fly away. Coward!

[Alex heard someone screamed in horror. He goes over and saw that the watering hole was all gone. The animals have gathered there and sees a fish.]

Giraffe: The water. It's gone.

Giraffe 2: Oh no.

Hippo: The watering hole is never gone dry before.

Giraffe: We'll need a lot more dying holes.

Bobby: How could this happen?

Makunga: Out of my way! What is going on here!?!

Bobby: The watering hole's dried up! There's barely water for one of us!

Makunga: Yes. Good observation, Shirley.

Bobby: I'm Bobby.

Giraffe: Makunga, what do we do?

Makunga: Quiet! Listen up! I'm afraid there is only one solution to this horrible crisis: We'll all have to fight for it.

Hippo: Fight for it? We can't fight for it.

Ox: That's crazy.

Bobby: That's not fair. You'd win!

Makunga: Exactly, Shirley.

Bobby: I'm Bob- [Gets kicked by Makunga]

Makunga: Sorry, folks, but life isn't fair. I'm in charge now, thanks to Alakay, the dancing lion.

Timo: Please, Makunga, this is the only water on the reserve.

Makunga: Aw, If you're thirsty, you'll have to look for water off the reserve.

Animals: Off the reserve? It's too dangerous! Hunters would shoot us! No one leaves the reserve and survives!

Alex: I left the reserve! And survived. I can do something about this. Looks like a clogged pipe, like we get in New York. I'll travel upriver...

Animals: Upriver? Off the reserve?

Makunga: You? HA!

Alex: Yeah. I'll unclog the pipe and bring back your water.

Makunga: Great! I'd help you pack, but by the looks of that hat, I see you're all set! [Laughing]

Alex: Yeah. Fine. Go ahead, laugh. Laugh your mane off. 'Cause I'll prove you wrong.

Makunga: Maybe you should try a little rain dance.

[Alex leaves, as Makunga laughed. Then one of the animals spoke knowing why Makugna never cared.]

Giraffe: Zuba would know what to do.

Animal: Where's Zuba!?

Animal 2: You don't care about us.

Hippo: Zuba should be in charge, not you.

Makunga: (Groans) All right, fine! As an added measure, I will consult with Zuba! (Groans)

[Moments later.]

Alex: Marty? Hey! Marty! Marty? Marty.

Zebra: Where'd you get the fruity hat?

Alex: Excuse me! Excuse me! Hi. Is. Is Marty in there?

Zebras: Marty? Anyone seen Marty? Which one of us is Marty?
