The Lion King (1994)

Life's not fair, is it?

You see, I... Well, I shall never be king.

And you shall never see the light of another day.

Adieu.

Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with your food?

What do you want?

I'm here to announce that King Mufasa's on his way,

so you'd better have a good excuse for missing this morning's ceremony.

Oh, look, Zazu.

You've made me lose my lunch.

You'll lose more than that when the king gets through with you.

He's as mad as a hippo with a hernia.

I quiver with fear!

Now, Scar, don't look at me that way.

Help!

- Scar? - Mm-hmm?

Drop him.

Impeccable timing, Your Majesty.

Why, if it isn't my big brother descending from on high

to mingle with the commoners.

Sarabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba.

That was today?

I feel simply awful!

Must've slipped my mind.

Yes, well, as slippery as your mind is,

as the king's brother, you should've been first in line!

Well, I was first in line, until the little hairball was born.

That hairball is my son and your future king.

I shall practise my curtsy!

Don't turn your back on me, Scar.

Oh, no, Mufasa.

Perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me.

Is that a challenge?

Temper, temper.

I wouldn't dream of challenging you.

Pity. Why not?

Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share.

But when it comes to brute strength,

I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool.

There's one in every family, sire.

Two in mine, actually,

and they always manage to ruin special occasions.

What am I going to do with him?

He'd make a very handsome throw rug.

Zazu!

And just think, whenever he gets dirty,

you could take him out and beat him.

Hmm.

Simba.

Dad! Dad!

Come on, dad, we gotta go! Wake up!

- Uhh! - Sorry.

Dad! Dad!

Your son is awake.

Before sunrise, he's your son.

Dad! Come on, Dad.

You promised.

Okay, Okay. I'm up, I'm up.

Yeah!

Look, Simba.

Everything the light touches is our kingdom.

Wow.

A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun.

One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here

and will rise with you as the new king.

- And this'll all be mine? - Everything.

Everything the light touches.

What about that shadowy place?

That's beyond our borders.

You must never go there, Simba.

But I thought a king can do whatever he wants.

Oh, there's more to being king than getting your way all the time.

- There's more? - Simba...

Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance.

As king, you need to understand that balance

and respect all the creatures,

from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.

But, Dad, don't we eat the antelope?

Yes, Simba, but let me explain.

When we die, our bodies become the grass,

and the antelope eat the grass.

And so we are all connected in the great circle of life.

- Good morning, sire! - Good morning, Zazu.

Checking in with the morning report.

Fire away.

Well! The buzz from the bees

is that the leopards are in a bit of a spot.

Really?

What are you doing, son?

Pouncing.

Let an old pro show you how it's done.

I told the elephants to forget it, but they can't...

- Zazu, would you turn around? - Yes, sire.

The cheetahs are hard up, but...

Stay low to the ground.

Cheetahs never prosper...

Yeah, okay. Stay low to the ground, right? Yeah.

- What going on? - A pouncing lesson.

Very good. Pouncing.

Pouncing? No, sire, you can't be serious...

This is so humiliating.

Try not to make a sound.

What are you telling him, Mufasa?

Mufasa? Simba?

That's very good.

- Zazu! - Yes!

- News from the underground. - Now, this time...

Sire! Hyenas in the Pride Lands!

Zazu, take Simba home.

Aw, dad, can't I come?

No, son.

Pah! I never get to go anywhere.

Oh, young master, one day, you will be king.

Then you can chase those slobbering, mangy, stupid poachers

from dawn until dusk.

Hey, Uncle Scar! Guess what?

I despise guessing games.

I'm gonna be King of Pride Rock.

Oh, goody!

My dad just showed me the whole kingdom,

and I'm gonna rule it all!

Yes. Well, forgive me for not leaping forjoy.

Bad back, you know.

Hey, Uncle Scar.

When I'm king, what'll that make you?

A monkey's uncle.

- You're so weird. - You have no idea.

So, your father showed you the whole kingdom, did he?

Everything.

He didn't show you what's beyond that rise at the northern border?

Well, no. He said I can't go there.

And he's absolutely right.

It's far too dangerous.

Only the bravest lions go there.

Well, I'm brave. What's out there?

I'm sorry, Simba, I just can't tell you.

Why not?

I'm only looking out for the well-being of my favourite nephew.

Yeah, right! I'm your only nephew.

All the more reason for me to be protective.

An elephant graveyard is no place for a young prince. Oops!

An elephant what? Whoa!

Oh, dear, I've said too much.

Well, I suppose you'd have found out sooner or later,

you being so clever and all.

Just do me one favour.

Promise me you'll never visit that dreadful place.

No problem.

There's a good lad.

You run along now and have fun.

And remember,

it's our little secret.

- Hey, Nala. - Hi, Simba.

Come on. I just heard about this great place.

Simba! I'm kind of in the middle of a bath.

And it's time for yours.

Mom!

Mom, you're messing up my mane!

Okay, okay, I'm clean. Can we go now?

So, where are we going?

It better not be anyplace dumb.

No, it's really cool.

So, where is this really cool place?

Oh.

- Uh, around the water hole. - The water hole?

What's so great about the water hole?

I'll show you when we get there.

Oh.

Uh, mom, can I go with Simba?

Hmm, what do you think, Sarabi?

Well...

Please?

It's all right with me.

- Yeah! - All right!

As long as Zazu goes with you.

No, not Zazu.

Step lively.

The sooner we get to the water hole, the sooner we can leave.

So, where are we really going?

An elephant graveyard.

Wow!

Shh! Zazu.

Right. So, how are we gonna ditch the dodo?

Oh, just look at you two.

Little seeds of romance blossoming in the savanna.

Your parents will be thrilled,

what with your being betrothed and all.

Be-what?

Betrothed. Intended.

Affianced.

Meaning...

One day, you two are going to be married.

- Yuck! - Eww!

I can't marry her. She's my friend.

Yeah, it'd be so weird.

Sorry to bust your bubble,

but you two turtle doves have no choice.

It's a tradition going back generations.

When I'm king, that'll be the first thing to go.
