Timon:{trudging along the parched floor of the Gorge} What this place lacks in water and shade, it makes up for with searing heat and blinding sunshine. Home sweet home, Pumbaa! {whimpers a little with desperation}
Kitako: Don't worry Timon, there's gotta be some caves around here somewhere.
{the ground begins to rumble}
Mkundu: Duba? What is it?
Duba: Do you feel that?
(RUMBLING)
Piglet: Is that a rumbly in your tumbly, Pooh?
Pooh: I don't think so, Piglet.
{Birds flock into the air from the gorge's rim; wildebeests begin to pour over the edge and down into the valley floor. They rapidly approach Pooh and his friends, three lionesses, Timon and Pumbaa in a massive stampede.}
Kitako: Go! Go! Go!
{They take off running for their lives in front of the huge herd of wildebeests. But Timon and Pumbaa are still standing there, Duba stops}
Duba: Timon, Pumbaa, come on!
Pumbaa: {affecting a gracious, leisurely air} Shall we run for our lives?
Duba: {panicking} Yeah, no kidding!
{Duba take Timon and Pumbaa off running in front of the huge herd of wildebeests. They end up on top of one wildebeest's head, but Pooh and his friends are on three lionesses' back, then they see the herd separate before them to reveal a cliff's edge.}
Kitako: Hang on, everybody!
Timon: This is it! Good-bye, cruel world!
{The wildebeest screeches to a halt at the edge of the cliff, pitching Pooh and his friends, three lionesses, Pumbaa and Timon off in slow motion, screaming. After a few midair tumbles, they splashed in a slow-moving river. Timon stands on Pumbaa's belly.}
Mkundu: (COUGHS) Is everyone okay?
Timon: That's it? {scoffs} Pbbb. That wasn't so bad. You can't knock old Timon down that easy! Yeah. Bring it on!
Pooh: Then what's that over there?
{Pooh points to an increasing roar of rushing water, and sees that they're approaching the top of a waterfall}
Timon: Uh... Pumbaa? Question: is it possible to fall off the edge of the Earth?
Pumbaa: Uh, technically, no. The Earth is round like a sphere, Timon, so it doesn't actually have an edge.
{The camera pulls back once, twice, three times to reveal an absurdly high waterfall.}
Kitako: Everyone, hold your breath and hand on!
(ALL SHARPLY INHALES)
{Timon and Pumbaa both scream as they hurtle over the edge. Right in the middle of the fall, Pumbaa pauses the movie; back to the silhouettes.}
Pumbaa: You mind if I pause it for a second?
Timon: Sure, go ahead.
Pumbaa: Be right back!
{Timon cracks his neck one way and then the other, grunting. As Pumbaa clatters off-screen, Timon scratches in his ear, sniffs, hums "It's a Small World After All", and casually picks his nose. Just as the sound of a popcorn popper comes to a stop, Timon pulls out a big booger, which squishes between his fingertips. He gasps as he realizes Pumbaa is coming back. He frantically looks for a tissue; seeing none, he tries to shake it off his hand, then to flick it off. Finally he wipes it on the seat just as Pumbaa returns, with a huge bag of bugs.}
Pumbaa: Okay, I got the jumbo so we could share. {He pauses for a beat, as he realizes Timon is just sitting there stock-still.} ...Were you just picking your nose?
Timon: {indignantly} Nooo, I had an itch on the inside!
{He grabs some bugs and chows down, then clicks the remote. The movie resumes, with Pooh and his friends, three lionesses, Timon and Pumbaa plummeting down the waterfall and screaming.}
