(In the throne-room of the Lion Temple. The situation of Eris' kidnapping has spread about and plans are needed to help rescue her and Laval (who's gone solo to do so). Cragger, Worriz and Razar are place on stage left, the Lions and their allies are stage right and the civilians are scattered about center stage...)

Cragger: The Icelands? The Icelands?!
The Icelands north of Chima?
Laval is heading for a crash.


Skinnet: He'll run into the Sabers there,
they'll blast him off his speedor there--


Worriz: Then cut him up and pack him under ice!

Gorzan: Oh bummer!

Eglor: The Icelands! The Icelands!
We're going to the Icelands!
What else are we supposed to do?


Gorzan: We'll need weapons--

Razar: I need a drink--

Bladvix: We'll need a map--

Worriz: I need a will!

Rogan: We'll save his neck and Eris too!

Razar (Indicating himself, Cragger and Worriz): Oy! Who are you kidding? We're not heroes.

Cragger: We're just your average Chiman Thugs.

Worriz: This is the kind of a job for someone
muscle-bound and pure of heartness.


Razar: And besides, it scares us witless!

Cragger: Who are you kidding? We're not heroes.

Lion Guards/Elders: They're not heroes.

Worriz: We ain't no sunshine rays at all.

Beavers: We'll drink to that.

Cragger: This ain't the kind of a job
for some humbugs like us.


(Plovar swoops in and circles around the throne-room before landing on top of the throne)

Plovar: The Sabers! The Sabers! You've got to stop the Sabers!
The Prince don't know them well at all.
Before they're finished with you,
well, you'll never know what hit you,
and it's not a pretty picture
I tell you!


Cragger: Alright, alright! We're going! We're going!
That settles it we're going!


Gorzan: We'll teach 'em not to mess with us!
We'll give them this!

G'Loona: You'll give him that!

Worriz: We'll beat'em up!

Wonald: You'll knock'em flat!

Razar, Bladvix & Rogon: All with the strength of twenty-three!

Razar (Indicating himself, Cragger and Worriz): Oy! Who are you kidding? We're no angels.

Bevar: You're only crooked like an old shack.

Worriz: I'm getting nowhere wooing girls.

G'Loona: You've done enough already.

Cragger: This ain't the kind of a job
for some furballs likes us.


Plovar (in unison with Cragger): This is exactly the
job for someone...
Oh...Cragger!


(What follows next is Wonald, G'Loona and Furty have snuck up on Cragger, Worriz and Razar and have pinched Cragger's crown, Worriz's picture of Windra and Razar's hook without them seeing till the last second. There then follows a game of 'Keep-Away' with the items being thrown around the room to everyone else with the Wolf, Crocodile and Raven trying to get their items back, only to get things they don't want handed to them...)

Worriz: Hey, hey, what're you doing?

Cragger: Oh no! What did you do with my crown?!

Razar: Oh holy rizzoly! Oh no, please!

Worriz: A sword?! Oh no, please! >Sobbing<

Razar: Why us?! Uh-oh!

(The items are dropped on the floor, leaving the Crocodile, Wolf and Raven scrabbling around for them whilst Lion Guards & Elders, the other Heroes of Chima and the Citizens (Rhinos, Gorillas, Beavers, Eagles, etc), along with the kids, all make for rear stage, turn round-&-link arms and form into a kickline upstage)

Kickline: Looks like we just got back our heroes!

Worriz: We're not heroes!

Kickline: Cragger, we know you'll come through!

Cragger: We're through already...

Plovar(still on the throne): You're just starting, Cragger!

Kickline: This is exactly the job for someone smart-- (Razar: What?)--like you!

Worriz: I ain't got manners!

Kickline: And with heart like you!

Razar: And I'll steal anything!!

Kickline: Some fine brave friends --

Cragger: Oh no, what am I DOING here?

Kickline: -- like --

Worriz: I'm completely THROUGH with all that!

Kickline: -- you!

Razar: Oh please, what AM I doing here? Oh no!

Cragger: I should've learned to keep my mouth shut and lie low like my sister told me!

(Crocodile, Wolf and Raven moan in united despair and collapse in a heap as the song end)
Part of my Legends of Chima Season 3 plot; ccb-18.deviantart.com/art/Lege…

Based on the original song from the original soundtrack of Copacabana; m.youtube.com/watch?v=A-zv3qcx… the scene depicts Cragger as he flip-flops between his wanting to help Laval (who's stubbornly gone on ahead to rescue Eris by himself) and his concerns about venturing into a frozen wasteland (after all he IS cold-blooded) along with his past reputation and fear of going up against unknown forces.
Worriz and Razar also flip-flop due to their reputations of being scoundrels and that they're fed-up with trying to be heroes - which they're not as far as they are concerned...but not everybody else on the Crocodile, Wolf & Raven.
