[singing; Pumbaa turns to follow a bug; he fades out; speaking; singing; Realizing Pumbaa is not there]
Pumbaa
Timon? AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
[follows the bug. He still hums the bass and stalks the bug up to a log, theatrically hiding behind a tree. When he tries to jump over the log he gets stuck momentarily and looks back; spooked; looks around, then shrugs, He jumps over the log. As he views the bug at close range, the camera (at his viewpoint) switches focus from it to a pair of green eyes out in the grass. The camera closes up on Nala getting ready to jump; he runs, with Nala in hot pursuit. Nala, with teeth and claws bared, chases Pumbaa around at high speed]
Timon
Pumbaa?
[hears the noise of the chase]
Timon
Pumbaa! Pumbaa! Hey, what's goin on?
Pumbaa
SHE'S GONNA EAT ME!
[screaming at Timon]
Timon
Huh? Woah! Jeez! Why do I always have to save your-- AAHHHH!!!! Don't worry, buddy. I'm here for ya. Everything's gonna be okay. Get her! Bite her head! Go for the jugular. The jugular! See, I told you he'd come in handy.
[gets up on the branch and sees Nala charging at full speed towards them; gets down and tries to help push Pumbaa out from under the root; sees Nala was about to close on Pumbaa and he is in the line of attack. At the last minute, Simba bounds over Pumbaa and catches Nala head on at full force. They start fighting savagely; to Pumbaa; to Simba; to Pumbaa again]
Adult Simba
Nala? Is it really you?
[very surprised and no longer threatening; Nala immediately backs off and looks at Simba, examining him]

Pumbaa, you are a pig.
Pumbaa
Oh. Right.

Ever wonder what those sparkling dots are up there?
