Simba
- Simba: My father once told me: protect everything the light touches, if I don't fight for it who will?
- Simba: [attacks Scar after Scar admitted in to killing Mufasa] My father, your own brother - how could you!
- Scar: [to the hyenas and lionesses] First he kills Mufasa, and now he wants to kill me!
- Simba: YOU killed him! Tell them the truth!
- Scar: Don't believe his lies!
- Sarabi: Scar? You told us you didn't get to the gorge in time.
- Scar: That's true!
- Sarabi: [outraged] Then how did you see the look in Mufasa's eyes?
- [Scar growls]
- Simba: MURDERER!
- Scar: KILL THEM ALL!
- Simba: It's over, Scar.
- Scar: Have mercy on me.
- Simba: Mercy? For what you did.
- Scar: It was the hyenas. Those were the revolting, scavengers made me do it. I was planning on killing them all.
- Simba: You fooled the hyenas? Just like you fooled me.
- Scar: Simba, you wouldn't kill your only uncle.
- Simba: No, Scar. I'm not like you.
- Scar: Oh, Simba. You are truly noble, and I will make it up to you. Just tell me how I can prove myself. Tell me what you want me to do.
- Simba: Run... Run away, Scar. Run away, and never return.
- Scar: Yes. Of course... As you wish.
- [looking down and seeing a pile of hot coals, began to angry]
- Scar: Your majesty!
- [throws embers of fire at Simba's face]
- Scar: Simba... I'm so happy to see you
- [Angrily glares at the hyenas behind him]
- Scar: Alive.
- Simba: [angry] Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart.
- Scar: I can give you more than one. You see... they think I'm king.
- Nala: Well, we don't. Your reign is over, Scar. Simba is the rightful king! If you wanna get him, you have to get through us. Are you with me, lions?
- Simba: The choice is yours, Scar. Step down or fight.
- Scar: Must this all end in violence? I'd hate to be responsible for the death of a family member. To feel the shame of knowing... I took the life of someone I love.
- Simba: I put all that behind me.
- Scar: But have they put it behind them? Do your faithful subjects know what you've done?
- Nala: What is he talking about?
- Scar: So you haven't told them your little secret? Well, Simba... now's your chance to confess. Tell them who's responsible for Mufasa's death.
- Simba: It was me.
- Sarabi: It's not true. Tell me it's not true.
- Simba: It's true. I'm sorry.
- Scar: He admits it. Murderer!
- Simba: No, no. It was an accident.
- Scar: If it weren't for you the king would be alive. It's your fault he's dead! Do you deny it?
- Simba: I'm not a murderer.
- Scar: We should believe a son who takes the life of a father? We should believe a son who takes the life of a king? A son who abandons his mother?
- Timon: [about the hyenas] what's your plan for getting us past the slobbering guards?
- Simba: Live bait.
- [He, Nala and Zazu look at Pumbaa]
- Pumbaa: That's a great idea. Those guys could never resist fresh meat! So all we need to do is find something that's like big, plump, and juicy, maybe like a gnu...
- [They all continue to stare blankly at him]
- Pumbaa: why's everyone looking at me?
- Timon: [Shenzi's clan are paying attention to Timon and Pumbaa who is set up like a roast pig] Ma chère, mademoiselle. It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we proudly present your dinner! Be... our - GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
- [they flew before the clan of hunger mad hyenas]
- Pumbaa: [referring to the stars] Hey, Timon. Do you ever look up there and wonder what those sparkly dots are?
- Timon: Oh, Pumbaa. I don't wonder. I know.
- Pumbaa: Really? What are they?
- Timon: They're fireflies. Fireflies that got stuck on that big bluish-black thing.
- Pumbaa: Oh, I guess that makes sense. I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away.
- Timon: Oh, Pumbaa, why is everything always gas with you?
- Pumbaa: I know.
- Timon: What do you think, Simba?
- Pumbaa: Yeah.
- Simba: Oh, I don't know. But somebody once told me, the great kings of the past are up there. And they're all watching over us.
- [Timon and Pumbaa start laughing]
- Pumbaa: That's a good one! That's insane! That's insane!
- Timon: Royal dead guys watching over us! Well, I hope they don't fall out of the sky!
- Pumbaa: Hang on, your majesty! Don't let go!
- Timon: Oh, that would be a mess.
- Pumbaa: Oh, man!
- Timon: I mean, Simba, think about it. Why would a bunch of kings be looking out for us? We're outcasts.
- Pumbaa: Royal warthogs.
- Timon: I can't!
- Timon: I can't!
- Pumbaa: I actually can't.
- Timon: I can't.
- Pumbaa: No, you can. I can't.
- [Timon laughs again]
- Simba: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's stupid I'm going to go get some grubs or something
- [looking sad, Simba gets up and leaves]
- Timon: What did you say to him?
- Pumbaa: I don't know.
- Timon: As you were saying it, I thought, "This won't end well" you just start laughing.
- Pumbaa: You laughed too.
- Timon: I did not. I would never.
- Pumbaa: Man, I blew it.
- Simba: [referring to the impala running away from him] What's up with that guy?
- Timon: Uh, Simba, How can I say this? He's prey.
- Pumbaa: Yeah
- Timon: And he is never going to want to frolic with a carnivore.
- Pumbaa: No. You two will never frolic.
- Simba: Why not?
- Timon: You see in nature, there's a delicate balance.
- Simba: Oh yeah. The circle of life. I know that.
- Pumbaa: No.
- Timon: No, no, no. I don't know where you're getting "circle" from
- Pumbaa: No, yeah. There's no circle of life.
- Timon: No, it's no Circle.
- Pumbaa: No, not at all.
- Timon: In fact, it's the opposite.
- Pumbaa: Yeah.
- Timon: It's a line.
- Pumbaa: Yeah.
- Timon: It's a meaningless line of indifference.
- Pumbaa: And we're all just running towards the end of that line. Then one day we'll reach the end and that'll be it. That's it. Line over.
- Timon: Nothing.
- Pumbaa: Nada. And you can really just kind of Do Your own thing and fend for yourself, because you're line doesn't affect anyone else's line.
- Timon: You're alive and then you're not
- [eats an insect]
- Timon: like this guy. Mmm.
- Simba: You sure it's not a circle? that we're all connected?
- Pumbaa: A circle would mean we're all this. That would mean what I do affects him. affects that thing affects that thing.
- Timon: Yeah. No, that's not how it goes.
- Pumbaa: Which would make doing whatever we wanted not that cool.
- Timon: Let me simplify this for you. Life is meaningless.
- Pumbaa: Yes. that's why you just got to look out for yourself. That's why you do you, Simba.
- Timon: Yes Simba, for the first time, we're enrusting you to make a plan for us today
- Pumbaa: This is important, think about all you've been taught.
- Timon: What do you want to do?
- Simba: Absolutely nothing.
- Pumbaa: Exactly!
- Timon: Woo-hoo!
- Pumbaa: He gets it!
- Simba: Who are you?
- Rafiki: I know exactly who I am. The question is, who are you?
- Simba: I'm nobody. So leave me alone, alright?
- Rafiki: Everybody is somebody. Even a nobody.
- Simba: Yeah, I think you're confused.
- Rafiki: I am confused? You don't even know who you are.
- Simba: Oh? And I suppose you do?
- Rafiki: I held the son of Mufasa.
- Simba: You knew my father?
- Rafiki: Correction, I know you're father.
- Simba: He died a long time ago.
- Rafiki: He's alive. And I can take you to him. Follow me. I will show you! Your father is waiting.
- [Simba just sees his reflection in the water]
- Rafiki: Do you see him?
- Simba: I don't see anything.
- Rafiki: Look closer.
- [Simba looks closer at his reflection and sees his father]
- Rafiki: You see, he lives in you.
- Scar: Sarabi why put yourself through this, all you have to do is be my queen. Your suffering from what a memory of a life you once knew, a king you once loved. I tried to make you understand what a true king can be.
- Sarabi: Scar, a true kings power is his compassion.
- Scar: [angered] I AM TEN TIMES THE KING, MUFASA WAS!
- Sarabi: You are nothing compared to Mufasa.
- [Scar attacks Sarabi]
- Scar: [notices a roaring Simba] Mufasa, that can't be.
- Simba: Get away from my mother!
- Simba: I told you, isnt it great here? You know maybe it will be like this forever.
- Nala: It's amazing. But there's... there's something I don't understand, if you been alive all this time why haven't you come home? We really needed you.
- Simba: There fine... alright, nobody needs me.
- Nala: Your the king.
- Simba: Nala, Scar is the king.
- Nala: Simba he's decimated the pridelands, there's no food, no water.
- Simba: There's nothing I can do.
- Nala: What about your mother? This is your responsibility. You need to challenge Scar.
- Simba: I can't go back, ever.
- Nala: Why? Because of what happened at the gorge? Scar told us that...
- Simba: You wouldn't understand, none of it matters okay, Hakuna Matata.
- Nala: [confused] What?
- Simba: It's something, I learned out here okay. You see sometimes bad things happen and there's nothing you can do about it, so why worry?
- Nala: Why worry? What happened to you? You're not the Simba I remember.
- Simba: And I never will be, are you satisfied?
- Nala: No, I'm disappointed.
- Simba: You know, now you're starting to sound like my father.
- Nala: Good, I'm glad one of us does.
- Simba: [angry] You have no idea what I've been through.
- Nala: I came here looking for help, I guess I made a mistake. Goodbye Simba.
- Simba: Timon, Pumbaa, I want you to meet my best friend, Nala.
- Timon: Best friend? Well, that hurts.
- Simba: Nala, you're going to love it here. This place is amazing. It's everything you could ever want.
- Nala: Simba, we need to leave. Scar has taken over with the hyenas. You have to take your place as king.
- Timon: King? Simba?
- Pumbaa: We kneel before you as humble servants.
- [They both laugh]
- Simba: Pumbaa, relax. She's wrong.
- Timon: Lady, you've got your lions crossed
- Pumbaa: Nice.
- Nala: Seeing you again, you don't know what this will mean everyone. What this means to me. You have to come home
- Simba: This is my home. Please stay. This place is incredible. I know you'll love it.
- Nala: I can't.
