Zazu
- Zazu: How lovely to see the future King and Queen!
- Young Simba: What do you mean?
- Zazu: One day, you will be betrothed.
- Young Nala: Simba, you speak bird?
- Zazu: Married... to each other.
- Young Simba, Young Nala: Ewwww!
- Zazu: The king approaches! This is *not* a drill. His Majesty has requested an audience. Upon his entrance, you will rise and genuflect.
- Scar: Zazu... you've made me lose my lunch.
- Zazu: You will answer to Mufasa for missing the ceremony this morning.
- Scar: I answer to no one.
- Zazu: Scar? Scar! Scar, Scar, Scar, Scar, Scar, no! No, don't look at me like that.
- Scar: Are you hungry, Zazu? Perhaps--we could have a bite TOGETHER!
- [lunges at Zazu]
- Zazu: You can't eat me. It is forbidden to eat a member of the king's court!
- [Scar pins him to the ground]
- Zazu: Ow! Please! Stop it!
- Mufasa: [enters the den] Scar!
- Scar: [releases Zazu and faces his brother] Well, look who's come to mingle with the commoners.
- Mufasa: Sarabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba.
- Scar: Was that today? Must've slipped my mind. Of course, I meant no disrespect towards His Majesty or Sarabi. As you know, I have tremendous respect for the queen.
- Zazu: As the king's brother, you should've been first in line.
- Scar: I WAS first in line. Or don't you remember?
- [rises up and walks out of the den]
- Scar: That is, until the precious--prince arrived.
- Mufasa: Don't turn your back on *me*, Scar.
- Scar: Oh *no*, Mufasa; perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me.
- Mufasa: [roars and leaps in front of Scar, blocking his way] Is that a challenge?
- Scar: I wouldn't dream of challenging you... again.
- Zazu: A wise decision! You are no match for His Royalness.
- Scar: Well, as far as brains go, I've got the lion's share, but when it comes to brute strength, I'm afraid my big brother will always rule.
- Mufasa: Not *always*, Scar. One day, it will be my son who rules. Simba will be your king.
- Scar: Then long live the king.
- Mufasa: [watches his brother leave] What am I gonna do with him?
- Zazu: Oh, come on. We both know he should've been expelled from the Pride Lands long ago.
- Mufasa: He's my brother. Zazu. This is his home. As long as I am king, that will never change.
- Kamari: [to Simba and Nala] Well look at this, we weren't expecting guests... today. Would you two cubs like to... stay for dinner?
- Azizi: [butting in] Yeah stay for dinner, because you look like a midnight snack.
- Kamari: [annoyed and irritated] Can you just give me a little bit of space.
- Azizi: [backing up a little] I'm helping.
- Kamari: We've talked about this before- I come in alone I'm the lead distraction so everyone can circle.
- Azizi: Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
- Kamari: Don't be sorry, just do it!
- Shenzi: Now this is a meal I've waited my whole life. What an unexpected treat to meet the son of a king.
- Kamari: Wait a second the king, as in you know who.
- Azizi: Who rules you know where.
- Shenzi: Mufasa does not rule me.
- Young Simba: You cant do anything to me, because I'm the future king.
- Shenzi: [chuckles] he's telling me what to do, his father's strength flickering inside, I wonder how all that bravery will taste.
- Zazu: [suddenly appears] Let them go Shenzi. They made a mistake a horrible mistake, but if you do this, you will start a war with Mufasa.
- Shenzi: Hyenas and Lions have been at war since the beginning of time. But Mufasa's bloodline WILL END HERE.
- [lunges at Simba and Nala but they escape]
- Shenzi: don't let them get away!
- Zazu: Come along! Keep up! Let's move as a unit!
- Young Nala: So, were are we really going?
- Young Simba: How'd you know?
- Young Nala: You hate the water.
- Young Simba: I've heard about this place, Nala, the most incredible, amazing...
- Young Nala: Just tell me where?
- Young Simba: An elephant graveyard.
- Young Nala: Whoaaa. How far is it?
- Young Simba: Not far. Just through the shadows. But don't worry, everyone's been there.
- Young Nala: We've never been that far before. What if we get lost?
- Young Simba: Relax, Nala. I was shown the entire kingdom this morning with my Dad. There's nothing to worry about.
- Young Nala: Well there is one thing...
- Zazu: [flying overhead] We have an eminent threat! Something is approaching - oh, wait, scratch that. It's my own shadow.
- Young Nala: How do we get rid of the dodo?
- Young Simba: Trust me. I got this. Follow me to freedom
- Zazu: Oh, how lovely it is to see the future king with his future queen!
- [perches down]
- Zazu: I could just molt...
- Young Simba: What do you mean, "future queen"?
- Zazu: One day, the two of you will be betrothed. Intended. Affianced.
- Young Nala: Simba, you speak bird?
- Zazu: Married. One day, you wi be married... to each other.
- Young Nala, Young Simba: [disgusted] Ewwww!
- Young Simba: That's not gonna happen, Zazu. Nala and I are friends.
- Young Nala: Never ever
- Young Simba: And besides, she's afraid of rhinos.
- Young Nala: And he's never eaten an impala.
- Young Simba: I've tried it once.
- Young Nala: We're never getting married, Zazu.
- Zazu: A monarch who ignores tradition? With an attitude like that, I'm afraid you'll be a pretty pathetic king.
- Young Simba: Well, I'm not letting anyone tell me where to go, what to do, and even who to marry. There will never be a king like me.
- Zazu: Simba, you can't escape your destiny.
- Sarafina: Nala come here, sit with us.
- Nala: [Zazu arrives] Zazu, where have you been?
- Zazu: I'm sorry Nala, I came as soon as I could.
- [the sounds a hyena is heard]
- Sarabi: The morning report, Zazu.
- Zazu: Your Majesty, the Pride Lands are in imminent danger. The hyenas are chasing off the last of the herds
- Azizi: The birds back.
- Kamari: Get him!
- [Kamari and Azizi try to chase off Zazu]
- Kamari: Don't come here again unless you want to be eaten.
