Carmen Twillie: [singing] From the day we arrive on the planet / And, blinking, step into the sun / There's more to see than can ever be seen / More to do than can ever be done / There's far too much to take in here / More to find than can ever be found / But the sun rolling high / Through the sapphire sky / Keeps great and small on the endless round...| It's the circle of life / And it moves us all / Through despair and hope / Through faith and love / 'Til we find our place / On the path unwinding / In the circle / The circle

Scar: [first words] Life's not fair, is it? You see, I-- Well, I shall never be king. Heh. And you... shall never see the light of another day. [chortles] Adieu. [about to eat the mouse] Zazu: [out of nowhere] Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with your food? Scar: [annoyed] What do you want? Zazu: I'm here to announce that King Mufasa's on his way, so you'd better have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning. Scar: [sees the mouse escaped back to the hole] Oh, now, look, Zazu. You've made me lose my lunch. Zazu: Hah! You'll lose more than that when the king gets through with you. He's as mad as a hippo with a hernia. Scar: [sarcastically] Ooh, I quiver with fear! Zazu: [backs away from Scar] Now, Scar, don't look at me that way! [alarmed] HELP!!!! [Scar traps him in his mouth] Mufasa: [enters; first words] Scar. [Scar looks back at him with his mouth full] Drop him. Zazu: [pops his beak out of Scar's mouth] Impeccable timing, Your Majesty. [Scar spits him out, w

[mutters; looks down at his feet, where another halved gourd shell full of paint lies] Ah. [exchanges the gourd shell he is holding for the one on the ground. He examines his handiwork] Hmm. [The scene cuts to a frontal shot of Rafiki smiling and laughing. He dips a thumb into the paint. The scene cuts to a close-up frontal shot of the lion cub painting. Rafiki's hand comes into frame as he smears a distinctive marking across the cub's forehead] Simba. [The camera slowly zooms out from the painting; he chuckles]

Young Simba: [runs on-screen, pausing at the edge of the promontory; he stands on the promontory of Pride Rock. With an excited smile, he turns and runs away. The scene cuts to a wide shot of Simba running into the den of Pride Rock. The camera follows him to reveal the rest of his pride sleeping inside the cave, with Mufasa and Sarabi at the very back. After the Pride Rock in early morning, he comes out on the rock. He runs back into the cave and leaps over several of the lionesses, accidentally jumping on a few] Dad! Dad! Come on, Dad, we gotta go. Wake up! Random Lioness: Oomph! Young Simba: Sorry! ...Oop. [starts to wake Mufasa] Dad? Dad. Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad-- Sarabi: [over Simba's endless noise of "Dad"s, sleepily] Your son is awake... Mufasa: [also sleepily] Before sunrise, he's YOUR son. Simba: Dad? Dad! Come on, Dad! [tugs at Mufasa's ear] Daa-- Whoa! [He loses his grip on Mufasa's ear, and slips and crashes into something off camera. He then comes running ba

Young Simba: Hey, Uncle Scar, guess what? Scar: I despise guessing games. Young Simba: I'm gonna be King of Pride Rock. Scar: [sarcastically] Oh, goody. Young Simba: My dad just showed me the whole kingdom. And I'm gonna rule it all. Heheh. Scar: Yes. Well, forgive me for not leaping for joy. Bad back, you know. [flops on his side] Young Simba: Hey, Uncle Scar, when I'm king, what'll that make you? Scar: A monkey's uncle. Young Simba: [laughs] You're so weird! Scar: You have no idea. So, your father showed you the whole kingdom, did he? Young Simba: Everything. Scar: He didn't show you what's beyond that rise at the northern border? Young Simba: Well, no. He said I can't go there. Scar: And he's absolutely right. It's far too dangerous. Only the bravest lions go there. Young Simba: Well, I'm brave. What's out there? Scar: [Interrupting] I'm sorry, Simba, I just can't tell you. Young Simba: Why not? Scar: [feigning concern] Simba, Simba, I'm only looking out for the well-being of my fav

Zazu: Step lively. The sooner we get to the water hole, the sooner we can leave. Young Nala: [whisper] So where we really going? Young Simba: [whisper] An elephant graveyard. Young Nala: Wow! Young Simba: [whisper] Shhh! Zazu. Young Nala: [whisper] Right. So how are we gonna ditch the dodo? Young Simba: [whispering] Oh, I know how we can - Zazu: [lying down] Oh, just look at you two. Little seeds of romance blossoming in the savannah. Your parents will be thrilled... [he lands in front of them] ...what with your being betrothed and all. Young Simba: Be-what? Zazu: Betrothed. Intended. Affianced. Young Nala: Meaning...? Zazu: [as though holding on to his coat lapels] One day, you two are going to be married! Young Simba: Yecch! Young Nala: Ewww. Young Simba: I can't marry her. She's my friend. Young Nala: Yeah. It'd be so weird. Zazu: Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but you two turtle-doves have no choice. It's a tradition... [Simba mimics Zazu during these last words] ...going back g
