00:17Extra good morning, Jamo!
00:19And what's so extra good about it, Pumba?
00:22What's so darn extra good about this particular morning
00:25that you must brutally wake me up?
00:27It's best as best friend day!
00:29Come again?
00:30Best as best friend day!
00:32You know, it's the specialist day of the year
00:34set aside for best as best friends like us!
00:37Here, open your present!
00:39Okay, if you insist.
00:45A Mr. Bug Juicer!
00:47You like it?
00:48I love it, Pumba!
00:49Oh, you knew I wanted one of these!
00:51All the vitamins without the exoskeleton.
00:54This is great, thanks!
00:56Anything for my best as best friend!
00:59Now, where's my present, Timon?
01:00I can't wait to open my present!
01:02I've been waiting all morning!
01:05Your present.
01:06Right.
01:07Well...
01:08You didn't forget best as best friend day, did you?
01:11No, no, no.
01:13Of course not, Pumba.
01:14Absolutely not.
01:16How dare you even think such a thing!
01:18So where's my present?
01:20Your present.
01:21Right.
01:21Well, I got you a very special present.
01:24Something much more special-er than any normal present.
01:27I got you, uh, uh, uh, a hollow rotting log!
01:32A hollow rotting log?
01:35But that's what you got me last year!
01:38Right.
01:38Last year.
01:39Sorry.
01:39I, um, I mean I got you a, uh, uh, a fungus-covered boulder!
01:44But that's what you got me the year before you got me the hollow rotting log!
01:48How about some dry grass?
01:50That was the year before that!
01:52Tree bark?
01:53Year before that!
01:54Dirt!
01:55Timon!
01:56Yes?
01:57You did get me something, didn't you?
02:01Of course I did, Pumba.
02:02It's just that, you know, rather than spend a lot of time and money,
02:06I decided to do something really, really special.
02:09What'd you do?
02:10What'd you do?
02:11I, uh, uh, wrote you a poem.
02:15Oh, boy, a poem?
02:18Wow!
02:19Written just for me by my bestest pal, Timon!
02:22I can't wait to hear it!
02:24Can't wait!
02:25Can't wait!
02:26Okay, uh, here it is.
02:30My bestest best friend, Pumba.
02:32By me, Timon.
02:34Ahem.
02:35Uh, there's no warthog quite like you, Pumba.
02:38I could never find as good a friend.
02:41You have got tusks and you smell.
02:43You are one in a million.
02:44The end.
02:47That poem didn't rhyme, Timon.
02:50It's reverse.
02:51I don't think so, Timon.
02:53I think you just wrote that poem just now.
02:56I think you forgot bestest best friend, Dave.
03:01No, I didn't.
03:02Yes, you did.
03:02No, I didn't.
03:03Yes, you did.
03:04Well, it's a dumb holiday anyway, and you made it up.
03:07Oh, are you saying you think it's dumb to be my bestest best friend?
03:12And what if I am?
03:14That I don't think you're my bestest best friend after all.
03:18Well, fine.
03:19There's a whole herd of warthogs out there, Pumba.
03:21And I can easily find another friend as good as you.
03:24You're one of a million.
03:28If that's the way you're going to be, then I'm going to find me another meerkat that appreciates
03:33bestest best friend.
03:36And I'm going to find me another warthog even betterer than you.
03:50Hmm.
03:52Oh, what makes Timon so...
03:55Oh, what makes Timon so...
04:35Oh, what makes Timon so special anyway?
04:37All he does is sleep.
04:38He just sleeps and rides around on my head and tugs on my ears when he wants me to go
04:43fast.
04:44Well, I bet I can easily find another bestest best friend if I just put my mind to it.
04:51Pardon me.
04:55Sorry.
04:58Let's see you.
04:59Perfectly all right.
05:00Shouldn't have been crouched over there anyways.
05:02You see, I couldn't sleep in this morning.
05:04I'm rarely able to sleep in much.
05:06So I decided to take a walk.
05:08Sure, locals always offer me rides, elephants and such, but I just can't stand riding around
05:13on other animals.
05:14I enjoy walking, not holding on to some strange animal's ears and tugging when I want to go fast.
05:20Is that so?
05:22Mm-hmm.
05:23Anyways, I was walking along here and I got a prickly piece of something stuck on my foot
05:28and was trying to get it off when you came along and, hey, it's gone.
05:34Fantastic.
05:35Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you very much, Mr. Mr. Pumbaa.
05:39Mr. Pumbaa.
05:41You're quite welcome, uh...
05:44Monty.
05:44So, uh, Monty, how come you didn't ask your bestest best friend to help you get the prickly piece of
05:50something off the foot?
05:51To tell you the truth, Pumbaa, I don't have a bestest best friend.
05:55Is that so?
06:00Too large.
06:02Too tall.
06:04Too stripy.
06:07Hmm, potential.
06:21Can I help you with something?
06:24Actually, my friend, or rather, potential friend, do you mind if I ask you three personal questions?
06:30Not at all.
06:32First question.
06:33What is your name?
06:35Bamboo.
06:36Second question.
06:37If something wants to eat you, what do you do?
06:40I run away very fast.
06:42Good answer.
06:42Now, third question.
06:45Do you or anyone associated with you celebrate Bestest Best Friend Day?
06:50Never heard of it.
06:51Perfect.
06:52You'll do nicely.
06:55Monty!
06:56Monty, where are you?
06:56Get over here!
06:57You gotta see this!
06:59Yes, yes.
06:59What is it, Pumbaa?
07:00Take a look at what I caught.
07:02Isn't it the fattest, juicyest grub you've ever seen?
07:08Oh, take it away, take it away.
07:11It's filthy and revolting.
07:13What do you mean?
07:14I mean it's offensive.
07:17Aren't you gonna eat it?
07:18Eat it?
07:19You want me to eat that thing?
07:21It's not even cooked.
07:23But it tastes like chicken.
07:25You're kidding, right?
07:26You mean you don't eat bugs?
07:29No, no, no, no.
07:31I eat fresh fruits, nuts, and soybean products.
07:35Eating insects gives you gas.
07:37You don't have gas, do you?
07:40What's wrong with having gas?
07:43What kind of question is that?
07:50Timon.
07:51Yeah?
07:52Ever wonder what those sparkling dots are up there?
07:56Bamboo, I don't wonder.
07:58I know.
07:59What are they?
08:00They're fireflies.
08:02Fireflies that got stuck up in that big, bluish, black thing.
08:08Oh, okay.
08:13Uh, Bamboo.
08:15What?
08:16Aren't you now going to suggest, in a droll and simple sort of way, that you always thought
08:22they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away?
08:25No.
08:27Why?
08:28Should I?
08:29What do you mean?
08:41Isn't there another watering hole?
08:43Bamboo, my friend, I don't think I like the company.
08:48I don't think I'm thirsty anymore, Monty.
08:51My new bestest best friend, Monty?
08:56Bamboo?
08:57Monty, is that you?
09:40BAMPOO! It's been years!
09:42Hug-a-chug-a-hug-hug-fiddle-pop-poo!
09:48So, what have you been up to, buddy?
09:57Oh, you know, the usual stuff, BAMPOO!
10:00You still an expert at making those fruit-nut-soybean pancakes I like so much?
10:06You still an expert at eating them?
10:10BAMPOO!
10:14Say, BAMPOO! I've just gotten an idea! Why don't I fix you up a batch right now?
10:19That sounds great, Monty! Let's go!
10:26You know what, Timon?
10:29What's that, Boomba?
10:30I disliked my new bestest best friend.
10:33Well, if it makes you feel any better, I disliked my new bestest best friend, too.
10:39Say, Timon, did you or didn't you forget bestest best friend day?
10:44Well, uh, Boomba, the truth is, of course I didn't!
10:52Oh, boy, I knew you didn't! I knew you didn't, Timon!
10:56That's why you are my true bestest best friend!
11:00So where's my present?
11:02Uh, close your eyes.
11:04The eyes are now closed!
11:18You can open them now.
11:22Uh, Mr. Buckjuicer!
11:25You like it?
11:26I love it, Timon!
11:28How poetically ironic it is that you got me the exact same thing I got you!
11:34Well, life's a crazy thing, Boomba!
11:37So, uh, what are you gonna do with the Mr. Buckjuicer I got you?
11:42We'll think of something, bestest best friend.
11:45We'll think of something.
12:10Oh, not again!
12:17Well, looky here, boys!
12:20You put me down!
12:22It's a little entertainment, pre-packaged for our convenience.
12:28Throw them here, throw them here!
12:31Let's play some one-on-one!
12:33There's three of us, Peanut Breath!
12:37We could play one-on-one-on-one.
12:40Skip it, you're catching.
12:42Einstein, you're pitching because the name of the game today is...
12:47Baseball!
12:47Doink!
12:50Okay, Einstein, how's about giving me one of your famous fastballs?
12:55Is that the slow kind?
12:57No, a fastball would be a slow ball, only faster!
13:02Now just throw the ball!
13:04Patooey!
13:08I just don't get any respect around here.
13:12No!
13:16Thank you!
13:16I'm so sorry.
13:17For the best mistake to-
13:18Asante-san-a squash-banana,
13:20And he took the fold, the floor of jungle,
13:22La-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga.
13:23Hm?
13:28Hmm...
13:28Hi-ya!
13:29Hi-ya!
13:31Hi-ya!
13:31Hi-ya!
13:32Hi-ya!
13:34Hi-ya!
13:37Hi-ya!
13:37Rafiki fastu take a stick-
13:39Oh!
13:40Da-do da-dick-
13:41Asante-san-a-swag-banana!
13:43Hi-ya!
13:45Hi-ya!
13:46Hi-ya!
13:47Hi-ya!
13:48Hi-ya!
13:49Ooh!
13:51Great spirit!
13:52I hear your summons!
13:55Ugh!
13:56You hear me is what you hear, and I ain't no great nothing!
14:01That's the problem!
14:03Problem?
14:04Yeah!
14:44Ah!
14:45I just spent the morning serving as a major league screwball to three baggy-skinned brutes!
14:51I just feel so...
14:55Demoralized by the crossing of your personal boundary?
14:58No!
14:59Air-sick and tired!
15:01You see, when you're small like me, you get pushed around big time!
15:06Plus, I-I can't do anything!
15:08I-I can't fly!
15:09I can't swim!
15:10I want respect!
15:11I want status!
15:13I want-
15:13You want your Rafiki wish, no?
15:18Exactly!
15:19Yeah!
15:21What's a Rafiki wish?
15:23All the creatures in the fold carry dreams within their soul!
15:27Rafiki grant the wish you tell, but only one!
15:31So choose it well!
15:33You got it, handsome!
15:35I wish I were-
15:35Such a big hurry for such a little one!
15:38Are you sure you don't want to think about it?
15:41Let it stir within your spirit!
15:44My spirit has been sufficiently stirred this morning, thank you!
15:48And I know exactly what I want!
15:50I wish I could be tall like the giraffe, swim like the fish, and fly like the bird!
15:57With all of that, I'll get respect!
15:59You'll get stared at is what you'll get!
16:03Respect, my friend, does not come from size of body or cleverness of skill!
16:07Respect comes from being noble within!
16:11Please, come on, you said any one wish!
16:14Very well!
16:24Great kings and warriors, past and current,
16:28This fellow is a size that he wishes he weren't!
16:37Grant him stealth of a bird!
16:40And the moves of a fishy!
16:43The stature of a giraffe!
16:45For it is his one wishy!
16:52It worked!
16:54Look!
16:55It worked!
16:57Look!
16:57Yes!
16:58It's definitely a piece of work!
17:01All right!
17:02Come with me, you crazy-looking thing!
17:06Ready?
17:08Ready!
17:09Then off you go!
17:11Go!
17:16Go!
17:17Go!
17:17Go!
17:17Go!
17:18You silly things!
17:19Find your dream!
17:20Find your happiness!
17:22Find your respect!
17:30Ha!
17:33Ha!
17:34Ha!
17:35Ha!
17:35Ha!
17:35Ha!
17:36Ha!
17:37Ha!
17:37Ha!
17:37Ha!
17:37Hello!
17:37See?
17:38I told you it wasn't cloud cover!
17:41I say, who were you with the ugly stick?
17:46I suggest you two pay me a little more respect.
17:50Why should we pay you respect when we can give you grief for free?
17:56You know, come to think of it, he is pretty impressive.
18:01I just thought a creature with his obvious skills
18:03would be putting the manoeuvres on amateurs like us.
18:07Indeed.
18:09Well, I would assume he would do something like this.
18:13Oh, you mean like this?
18:16Well, I could do that. That's no problem.
18:25There, see?
18:29Gee, you know, maybe we were wrong about you.
18:32Oh, yes, indeed.
18:34Well, wait, you can probably even do this.
18:43Bye, bye, bye.
19:20Or even this.
19:24Um, yeah, sure. I could do all that. Just try this one.
19:37Well, I'll try it, but I don't think I'd like it.
19:47Now this is more like it.
19:56Finally, a place where I get the respect I deserve.
20:03A place where I could do the game plans.
20:17Please, sir, don't hurt me.
20:20And why not?
20:21You challenged me with a direct assault on my eminence.
20:26No, no, no. I didn't go anywhere near you, eminence.
20:30You know what guys like me do with guys like you?
20:33We play baseball.
20:39Ha! Home run.
20:44This is what you do with your powers.
20:47Play ball.
20:48Seems to me you need a strike in the fish tail, I think.
20:51Oh, no, I'm just...
20:52Just about to become what you sought to conquer.
20:55Let the baseball go.
21:03So, noobie friend, how do you find your journey toward respect?
21:08Oh, it's great. You kidding?
21:10Yeah, it's a little lonely, but I...
21:13Tell you what, nobody pushes me around anymore, that's for sure.
21:16It is everything you wanted. Size and power.
21:20Oh, yeah. You kidding me? It's great.
21:22Well, good.
21:24Because here you are?
21:26What? What do you mean, here I am?
21:28Come out, come out, wherever you are.
21:31Maybe he's at lunch.
21:33Maybe that would be you.
21:36Put down my house.
21:41What is it?
21:44It's our baseball.
21:46And it's gotten bigger.
21:48Looks to me like we're gonna have to think up a new game
21:52to play with our little...
21:54I mean, big friend.
21:58What, what, what?
22:00How's about a little tackle football?
22:13Thanks, Rafiki.
22:14You should see my halftime show.
22:17What is the matter now, my friend?
22:20Inside, I was still just as scared as I was when I was a mouse.
22:24I'm nothing but a big, ugly nothing.
22:27Ugly? No.
22:29Wiser?
22:29Yes, and if you prefer, you can return to your old self.
22:34But I only get one wish, huh?
22:37I wouldn't be granting another.
22:38Just taking back the first.
22:40I can do that.
22:41It's in the handbook.
22:42Rafiki, I'd like to be back the way that I was.
22:46Wrong, nobie friend.
22:47Now you will know that neither size nor skill alone can bring you respect.
22:51It must come from within.
22:56Thank you, Rafiki.
22:58Well, now that your monkey friend is gone, we can get back to the task at hand.
23:05And I think I'm in the mood for a little basketball practice.
23:10Now listen here.
23:12I don't know where you just went to school, but I am none of the things you think I am.
23:17I am not a baseball, basketball, or football.
23:21So you can just find yourself somebody else to push around.
23:24On second time, don't do that either.
23:27Got it?
23:30This isn't fun anymore.
23:32And you make a lousy baseball.
23:39Thanks, Rafiki.
23:40You're welcome, my friend.
23:43You're welcome.
