Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - First Totem Problems - full transcript

Wait, Mom, Dad.

Uncle, don't push!

- Grandma. Wait, wait!
An hour styling

your Molefe chest hairs,

and now, we are late for
the child's totem ceremony.

If your Mniki legs
moved as fast as your mouth,

- we wouldn't be this late!

Adult verified.

Yho.

Adult verified.

Ooh, whatever totem I get is going
to look real good on these hands.



Adult life, here I come. Ugh!

Hey, with our Molefe totem...
Mom?

Our baby girl will soon be

- our quantum physics-loving adult. Baby!
Gogo. Dad?

- Hello?
- Who said the child likes physics?

Uncle!
Hey,

with our Mniki totem,

- she'll be a third-generation...
Mom!

- ♪ Healer ♪
- Excuse me.

- ♪ Like her father... ♪
- Excuse me!

I think
you forgot something?

Yo, sorry, my baby.

Adult verified.
- Mama didn't see you there.

- You okay?



- Nervous? Faint?

Water? Baba, where's
the child's snacks?

- Here.
Hmm.

- Uh...

Uh...

- Oh, my baby, you feeling cold?

Eish! Do you want
this child to suffocate?

Mom. Dad.

I could dress myself!

Adult verified.

Yeah, ne.

Excuse me, excuse
me, my good people.

We seem to have a family
runningon African time.

So, any advice about
getting my totem?

Thought maybe I'll do some
traveling after I get it.

You know, get away for a bit.

- Haibo!
- Gah!

Kidding.

Isu.

And finally,
Sheba Mniki is here.

The long walk to freedom
never looked so good.

Okay, I'm ready!

Your totem connects
you to your past

and propels you
into your future.

You will pass through a child

and with the ancestral
gift of a totem...

return an adult!

- Yho!

Go get it, baby!

Give thanks!

Give thanks!

Give thanks!

Oh, did she break it?

Heh?

Maybe... the child is not ready?

Not ready?

I told you,

- your mother shouldn't have come.

My love, it's nobody's fault...

Oh, no, no, no.

She ruins everything!

Ay, my tooth!

I am getting that totem
even if it kills me!

Welcome to
"Ancestors Never Die" Incorporated,

my babes. Surname and time
of death please, babes?

Um...

Sheba Mniki?

But I'm not actually dead.

- At least I don't feel dead.
Oh!

- Mniki! Mniki, Mniki, Mniki!

- Excuse me, but who are you?
Oh!

- My child!

- Your child?

- Well, that...
- Mm-mm, child!

Let the adults speak.

Sheba...

No, man, no record of your
new arrival today, babes.

And
Wewe Mniki, Mimi Molefe,

aren't one of you meant to be
giving out your totem today?

My ancestors?

Hi. New Arrivals.

Babes, I think we have an
unregistered new soul, lost down here.

Uh-huh.

Okay. Let me get her

- to soul suction and body replacement...

- before she starts to rot, shame!

I know, right?

- "Rot"?
- I'd hate to tell you because...

Hey!

So, I'm not dead,
right?

Or rotting?

No, not yet, child!

But how did you know the healer's cloak
would get you through the waterfall?

You're too smart.

Ah! Definitely a Mniki!

- And I'm where, exactly?

Ancestral plane,
Totems Department.

Just need to get
you a spirit suit

so I can sneak you
to the totem printer

before Mimi finds you...

us.

Totem printer!

I definitely support that move!

- Quick, ntanam, put this on!

I swear I
can smell Mimi coming.

- Cheater!

Did you really think
you could steal my child

and give her your totem?

Wait, what?

- Ha! Ho-ho!

Eh!

Bless you.

Ha!

So I didn't get a totem
because you two were fighting?

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

- Stop! Hey! Uh...
Hey!

She's a Mniki, and you
want to dirty her future

with your Molefe totem. Sies!

Well, I'm happy to just pick
one and get out of here and...

Hmph!
- Don't beat the drums of war

unless you're ready for
a real fight, sister!

Whoa!

Hey, please stop fighting.

Ah!
- What are you doing?

Respect me!

Come closer and I'll
show you respect, bro!

- Hey!

This looks like a good time to go
and find that printing room, huh?

- Huh? You...

Attention, babe-ses!

If anyone sees a lost
soul with dreads around,

call me or security.

Thank
you, my babe-ses!

How can I help you?

Okay.

Let's go.

Excuse me!

Where
can I find the totem printer?

Here...

- Uh-huh.
Aha!

Security says! Stop!

Stop.
Stop.

She's here somewhere,
babe-ses.

I can smell the body rot-ses!

Okay, left, left, right.

There she is!

Hey, wena, stop!
The totem printer...

Straight, left, the other left.

- Ah! Ah...

Ah! Yo!

A'ight, man.

- Oh! Whoa!
- Whoa!

- Security! You stop!

Phew! Finally!

All right, here we
go, here we go, here we go.

All right, shake it off.

You got this.

Mm-hm?

- Mm?

Hmm.

Ah. Aha!

- Hey, wena!
- No!

You can't just
make your own totem,

it's more than just a tattoo.

- It's your strength in community!

If you two won't
make this work...

then
I'll make this work!

You don't understand!

We actually scan a part of
ourselves into the totem.

To keep the
connection, us, alive!

I mean, carrying a piece of you
in my totem is a little gross...

- but I get it.

- So I can literally feel you in my life.

Hmm.

Stop, Sheba. Who knows
what could happen!

- You could die!

We could die! Again!

But I did manage to break
in here and I'm still alive.

Not rotting yet,

so I'm getting my
totem and I'm out!

Ooh, shame!

What kind of stubborn
heart is this?

I blame the Mniki's! Ah!

- True!
- Ah!

But we also have a
history of heart attacks

- the child should watch out for!
- Hey! The child deserves my totem!

- She deserves peace!

- She deserves mine!
Hey, look! I've got it!

What?

Now I've got it!

Oh...

Yho.

Did she break herself?

Eh? No Totem.

And then?

What did you do, babe-ses?

Security, bound her.

Printing room, babe-ses.

- Bye-bye, baby nunu! Bye-bye!

You have eyes
and glasses, Baba.

How could you not
see where she went?

Never trust a
man with no chest hair!

Bend down then so I can snatch
that disrespect out of your chest!

E-yho! The
child probably ran away

- from all this fighting!

I didn't run away!

Well, at least I'm
not going to anymore.

Huh?

Aww.

Our baby...

- Eh?
Adult!

Haibo,

- where is my cloak?

That's my cue!

Seriously?

Adult verified.

Relax.

There's plenty of
space for us all!
