- Adult Simba: Listen, you think you can just show up and tell me how to live my life? You don't even know what I've been through!
- Nala: I would if you just tell me!
- Adult Simba: Forget it!
- Nala: Fine!
- Timon: Let me get this straight. You're the king? And you never told us?
- Adult Simba: Look, I'm still the same guy.
- Timon: But with power!
- Nala: Could you guys excuse us for a few minutes?
- Timon: Hey, whatever she has to say, she can say in front of us. Right, Simba?
- Adult Simba: Mm... Maybe you'd better go.
- Timon: It starts. You think you know a guy...
- [Timon and Pumbaa leave]
- Adult Simba: Timon and Pumbaa. You learn to love 'em.
- Nala: What made you come back?
- Adult Simba: I finally got some sense knocked into me. And I've got the bump to prove it.
- Nala: What's happened to you? You're not the Simba I remember.
- Adult Simba: You're right. I'm not. Now are you satisfied?
- Nala: No. Just disappointed.
- Adult Simba: You know, you're starting to sound like my father.
- Nala: Good. At least one of us does.
- Nala: Have you guys seen Simba?
- Timon: I thought he was with you.
- Nala: He was, but now I can't find him. Where is he?
- [Rafiki laughs. He's sitting in a tree above them]
- Rafiki: [Chuckles] You won't find him here! The king has returned.
- Nala: I can't believe it. He's gone back!
- Timon: Gone back? What do you mean?
- [He looks to the tree. Rafiki has disappeared]
- Timon: Hey, what's goin' on here? Who's the monkey?
- Nala: Simba's gone back to challenge Scar.
- Timon: Who?
- Nala: Scar.
- Pumbaa: Who's got a scar?
- Nala: No, no, no, it's his uncle.
- Timon: The monkey's his uncle?
- Nala: No! Simba's gone back to challenge his uncle to take his place as king.
- Timon, Pumbaa: Oh.
- Adult Simba: Nala? Is it really you?
- Nala: Who are you?
- Adult Simba: It's me, Simba.
- Nala: Simba?
- [he nods. Nala was elated to see him]
- Nala: Whoa!
- [they bud their heads]
- Nala: How did you...
- Adult Simba: How did you...
- [Timon stood there surprised and speechless]
- Adult Simba: Wow!
- Nala: Where did you come from?
- Adult Simba: This is gr... It's great to see you!
- Timon: Hey, what's goin' on here?
- Adult Simba: What are you doing here?
- Nala: What do you mean what am I doing here? What are you doing here?
- Timon: Hey! What's goin' on here?
- Adult Simba: Look, Sometimes bad things happen...
- Nala: Simba.
- Adult Simba: And there's nothing you can do about it. So why worry?
- Nala: Because it's your responsibility.
- Adult Simba: Well, what about you? You left.
- Nala: I left to find help, and I found you. Don't you understand? You're our only hope.
- Adult Simba: Sorry.
- Nala: [about Scar] Simba, he let the hyenas take over the Pride Lands.
- Adult Simba: What?
- Nala: Everything's destroyed. There's no food, no water. Simba, if you don't do something soon, everyone will starve.
- Adult Simba: I can't go back.
- Nala: Why?
- Adult Simba: You wouldn't understand.
- Nala: What wouldn't I understand?
- Adult Simba: No, no, no. It doesn't matter. Hakuna Matata.
- Nala: What?
- Adult Simba: Hakuna Matata. It's something I learned out here.
- Adult Simba: Isn't this a great place?
- Nala: It is beautiful. But I don't understand something. You've been alive all this time. Why didn't you come back to Pride Rock.
- Adult Simba: Well, I just needed to get out on my own, live my own life. And I did, and it's great.
- Nala: Wait till everyone finds out you've been here all this time. And your mother, what will she think?
- Adult Simba: She doesn't have to know. Nobody has to know.
- Nala: Of course they do. Everyone thinks you're dead.
- Adult Simba: They do.
- Nala: Yeah. Scar told us about the stampede.
- Adult Simba: He did? What else did he tell you?
- Nala: What else matters? You're alive. And that means, you're the king.
- Timon: King? Lady, have you got your lions crossed!
- Adult Simba: Timon, this is Nala. She's my best friend.
- Timon: Friend?
- Adult Simba: Yeah. Hey, Pumbaa, come over here.
- Pumbaa: Huh?
- Adult Simba: Nala, this is Pumbaa. Pumbaa, Nala.
- Pumbaa: Please to make your acquaintance.
- Nala: The pleasure is all mine.
- Timon: How do you do?
- Timon: [to Pumbaa] It's not gravel, it's grovel. And don't! He's not the king.
- [to Simba]
- Timon: Are you?
- Adult Simba: No.
- Nala: Simba!
- Adult Simba: No, I'm not the king. Maybe I was gonna be, but that was a long time ago.
- Scar: [Scar and the Hyenas approach him, leading him to the edge of a cliff] Oh, Simba, you're in trouble again, but this time, Daddy isn't here to save you, and now everyone knows why!
- [Simba falls back, but hangs desperately onto the edge]
- Nala: Simba!
- [Lightning strikes the ground below, causing a fire to start up]
- Nala: We really needed you at home.
- Adult Simba: No one needs me.
- Nala: Yes, we do. You're the king.
- Adult Simba: Nala, we've been through this. I'm not the king. Scar is.
- Scar: [about the hyenas] They think I'm the King.
- Nala: Well, we don't. Simba's the rightful king.
- Adult Simba: The choice is yours, Scar. Either step down or a fight.
- Adult Simba: [sternly] Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip apart.
- Scar: [nervously] Oh, Simba. You must understand. The pressures of ruling a kingdom...
- Adult Simba: [interrupts] Are no longer yours. Step down, Scar.
- Scar: Well, I would, naturally. However, there is one little problem. You see them?
- [points up to the hyenas as they have their scary faces]
- Scar: They think I'm king.
- Nala: [enters the scene] Well, we don't. Simba's the rightful king.
- Adult Simba: The choice is yours, Scar. Either step down or fight.
- Scar: Oh, must it all end in violence? I'd hate to be responsible for the death of a family member. Wouldn't you agree, Simba?
- Adult Simba: That's not gonna work, Scar. I've put it behind me.
- Scar: But what about your faithful subjects? Have they put it behind them?
- Nala: Simba, what is he talking about?
- Scar: Ah, so you haven't told them your little secret. Well, Simba, now's your chance to tell them. Tell them who is responsible for Mufasa's death.
- Adult Simba: I am.
- Sarabi: [walks to Simba] It's not true. Tell me it's not true.
- Adult Simba: It's true.
- Scar: You see? He admits it! Murderer!
- Adult Simba: No! it was an accident.
- Scar: If it weren't for you, Mufasa would still be alive. It's your fault he's dead! Do you deny it?
- Adult Simba: No.
- Scar: Then you're guilty.
- Adult Simba: No, I'm not a murderer!
- Scar: [starts backing Simba] Oh, Simba, you're in trouble again, but this time, daddy isn't here to save you, and now, everyone knows why!
- [Simba slips over the edge and is clinging to the ledge by his forepaws]
- Nala: [shocked] Simba!
- [lightning strikes below, igniting a fire]
- Scar: [starts thinking] Now, this looks familiar. Hmm, where have I seen this before? Let me think. Oh, yes, I remember. This is just the way your father looked before he died.
- [grabs Simba with his claws]
- Scar: And here's my little secret.
- [whispers in his ear]
- Scar: I killed Mufasa.
- Adult Simba: [flashes back of Mufasa falling in a stampede] No!
- [lunges up and pins Scar on his back]
- Adult Simba: Murderer!
- Scar: No, Simba, please.
- Adult Simba: Tell them the truth.
- Scar: Truth? But truth is in the eye of the behold...
- [Simba starts choking him]
- Scar: All right. All right.
- [quietly]
- Scar: I did it.
- Adult Simba: So, they can hear you.
- Scar: I killed Mufasa!
