  • Young Simba: [Nala's mother, Sarafina is giving Nala a bath] Hey, Nala.
  • Young Nala: Hi, Simba.
  • Young Simba: Come on, I just heard about this great place.
  • Young Nala: Simba, I'm kinda in the middle of a bath.
  • Sarabi: And it's time for yours.
  • [grabs Simba and starts licking him]
  • Young Simba: Mom! Mom, you're messing up my mane!
  • [Sarabi smiles]
  • Young Simba: Ok, ok. I'm clean. Can we go now?
  • Young Nala: So where are we going? It better not be anyplace dumb.
  • Young Simba: No, it's really cool.
  • Sarabi: So where is this really cool place?
  • Young Simba: Oh... around the waterhole.
  • Young Nala: The waterhole? What's so great about the waterhole?
  • Young Simba: [muttering] I'll *show* you when we *get* there.
  • Young Nala: Oh... Mom, can I go with Simba?
  • Sarafina - Nala's Mother: Hmm, what do you think Sarabi?
  • Sarabi: Well...
  • Young Simba, Young Nala: [with forced grins] Please!
  • Sarabi: It's alright with me.
  • Young Simba: Yeah!
  • Young Nala: All right!
  • Sarabi: As long as Zazu goes with you.
  • Young Simba: No, not Zazu!
  • Young Nala: [sees an elephant skull] I wonder if its brains are still in there.
  • Zazu: [leading Simba and Nala to the waterhole] Step lively. The sooner we get to the water hole, the sooner we can leave.
  • Young Nala: [whispering to Simba] So, where are we really going?
  • Young Simba: An elephant graveyard.
  • Young Nala: Wow!
  • Young Simba: Shhhh! Zazu.
  • Young Nala: Right. So, how are we gonna ditch the dodo?
  • [Simba starts whispering to her]
  • Zazu: Just look at you two. Little seeds of romance blossoming in the savannah. Your parents will be thrilled, what with your being betrothed and all.
  • Young Simba: Be-what?
  • Zazu: Betrothed. Intended. Affianced.
  • Young Nala: Meaning...
  • Zazu: One day, you two are going to be married.
  • Young Simba: Yuck!
  • Young Nala: Ew.
  • Young Simba: I can't marry her. She's my friend.
  • Young Nala: Yeah, it'd be so weird.
  • Zazu: Well, sorry to bust your bubble, but you two turtledoves have no choice. It's a tradition going back generations.
  • Young Simba: Well, when I'm king, that'll be the first thing to go.
  • Zazu: Not so long as I'm around.
  • Young Simba: Well, in that case, you're fired.
  • Zazu: Nice try, but only the king can do that.
  • Young Nala: Well, he's the future king.
  • Young Simba: Yeah, so you have to do what I tell you.
  • Zazu: Not yet, I don't. And with an attitude like that, I'm afraid you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king indeed.
  • Young Simba: Not the way I see it
  • Young Simba: Isn't it great?
  • Young Nala: We could get in big trouble.
  • Young Simba: I know!
  • Young Simba: All right, it worked.
  • Young Nala: We lost him.
  • Young Simba: I - am a genius.
  • Young Nala: Hey, genius, it was my idea.
  • Young Simba: Yeah, but *I* pulled it off.
  • Young Nala: With *me*.
  • Young Simba: Oh, yeah?
  • [leaps at Nala who flips Simba on his back]
  • Young Nala: Pinned ya!
  • Young Simba: Hey let me up!
  • [Nala does so. Simba leaps at Nala again. They tumble down a hill and Nala ends up on top of Simba again]
  • Young Nala: Pinned ya again!
  • Young Nala: Pinned ya again.
