Dialogue edit
- Morton: Gathering, gathering! Nigel, that includes you.
- [Nigel looks up, disturbed]
- Morton: Beaks closed, ears open!
- Cecil: Friends, wanderers, marabous! When those Zambezians flocked together, they created an inside!
- Morton: [supporting every word] Inside!
- Cecil: And an outside!
- Morton: Outside!
- Cecil: And if you hadn't noticed, we are on the outside.
- Morton: Here we are!
- Cecil: The Cold, lonely, Desolate, outside.
- Morton: Hooo, hooo, hooo, hooo, hooo, hooo! [pretends to be chilly] Frigid Africa.
- Cecil: And why?
- Morton: Don't know, it's a mystery! [gets slapped by Cecil]
- Cecil: Because, they didn't like the look of us.
- Marabous: And what is wrong with what we look like?
- Cecil: They just want their little tree-house all to themselves! How sporty is that!
- Morton: Very sporty! [gets slapped again]
- Cecil: Not very!
- Morton: No! terrible!
- Cecil: Not very in my book. Which is precisely, why we should accept Budzo's proposal.
- Marabous: Since when a Marabou servants to a lizard?
- Morton: He's got a point!
- Cecil: We will be working with Budzo, thickhead, not FOR Budzo! We are partners in this great endeavour!
- Morton: Teamwork!
- Cecil: We help Budzo get on the island, we share all the goodies!
- [Cecil Laughs, so does Morton]
- Morton: I am getting hungry just thinking about it. [gets slapped by Cecil]
- Marabous: Ummm, question! Could those hurricanes be a problem?
- Cecil: Hurricanes, huh! [making a trifling gesture]
- Morton: Don't make him laugh!
- Cecil: Budzo possesses unrivaled brut strength. With his help a new wind will blow across this valley.
- [Morton pretends that there is a heavy wind]
- Cecil: A wind of change-uh!
- [Cecil slaps Morton]
