  • This could be the start of a beautiful acquaintanceship.
  • Friends stick together to the end.
  • Just eat me now and please make it fast, I have a low threshold for pain!
  • [whispering] I see carnivores.
  • Look beyond what you see.

Dialogue[edit]

[from trailer]
Timon: That's it Pumbaa. My fuse, it's genius. There! Now this titles are knock out. OW!! Not literally!

Pumbaa: Um... I don't do so well in crowds. Maybe we better go around.
Timon: Don't you know the shortest distance between me and my dream home is a straight line? Follow me!
Animal #1: Oh.
Timon: Excuse me!
Animal #2: Ow.
Animal #3: Hello!
Animal #4: Goodness.
Timon: Make room, make room. Watch it, Twiggy. I'm walking here!

Pumbaa: This bowling from porcupines. [spits one of the quills] Wasn't for best idea, huh?
Timon: Yeah. Gotta be right up there with bobbing for snapping turtles. Aah-hah-hah-hah-hoo!!!!
Pumbaa: That's going to leave a mark. (he spits the second quill)

Timon: [about Simba] He's gone?! What do you mean: He's gone?!
Nala: It's just like the baboon said. The king has returned. [Timon and Pumbaa stare at her blankly] [sighs] You guys want me to go over it again?
Timon: Yes please, but be a dear and skip to the part about Simba. Not that your childhood wasn't fascinating.
Nala: Okay. Look, Simba's the rightful king, but after he disappeared, Scar proclaimed himself the king and formed an alliance with the hyenas...
[As Nala talks, Timon and Pumbaa stop listening.]
Pumbaa: [thinks] Poor Simba. The treachery. The villainy! The sheer indescribable horror!
Timon: [thinks] Blah blah blah. Why is she toying with us? This crazy chick is going to eat us.
Nala: ...So Simba has to go home to challenge his uncle and reclaim his place as king. [Timon and Pumbaa stare blankly at her.] Ohh, you don't get it?! Simba needs us. Now!
Timon: [indignant] He needs us? Then he shouldn't have left us! If he wants to run off to be "His Highness", well, I say, don't let the branches hit you on the way out. Leave Hakuna Matata to someone who appreciates it. [He strides off stubbornly]
Pumbaa: But, Timon... It's not really Hakuna Matata without Simba.
Timon: What's gotten into you? Not Hakuna Matata? That's crazy talk. Crazy talk, I tell you! Nothing's changed here. We had Hakuna Matata before Simba, and we have still got it now.
Pumbaa: We got to go help our friend, Timon.
Timon: And you, Pumbaa? You're just gonna walk away, give up on all this? What happened to "friends stick together to the end"? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Pumbaa: [incisively] I was about to ask you the same thing.
[Pumbaa turns and stalks off. He looks back over his shoulder to see Timon flopping down in the bed.]
Timon: [stubbornly] I got everything I ever wanted right here.
[Pumbaa turns and trots off, a tear in his eye. Timon lies in the bed, tapping his toe. He begins to soliloquize to convince himself he's doing the right thing.]
Timon: Now, this is more like it. ELBOW ROOM! ["Elbow room" echoes an absurd number of times as the camera pulls back repeatedly; Timon sits in despair] Uhhhh. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

[at the end of the film]
Timon: Well, that's it. The big wrap-up. The happy ending. The grand finale.
Pumbaa: It's over already?
Timon: Well, Pumbaa. That's the thing about endings. They come at the end.
Pumbaa: Oh, can we watch it again?
Timon: Pumbaa, we just saw it. Maybe tomorrow.
Timon's Mother: [enters] Hey, what are you guys doing? [notices the film and gasps] You didn't tell me you were watching the movie. I want to watch, too!
Timon: Mom, we just finished. Show's over!
Mom: Well, you're just going to have to rewind it. [runs the film back]
Timon: Mom!
Mufasa: It's a cool movie.
Mom: Uncle Max! We're going to watch the movie!
Timon: Oh, no!
Uncle Max: [enters with popcorn] Hey, I brought extra butter!?
Simba: [enters] Hey, you guys are watching the movie?
Rafiki: [enters with laughter] Any story worth telling is worth telling twice.
[many a Disney characters enters the theater, starting with Mickey Mouse]
Timon: What the?!
Snow White: Oh, excuse me.
Dwarves: [one by one, save for Grumpy] Excuse me.
Grumpy: Get out of the way!
Timon: Who is this crowd? Hey! Down in front!
Pumbaa: Uh-oh.
[Stitch bounces repeatedly from one character to another]
Goofy: Gawrsh!
Stitch: Aloha! [Donald quacks angrily at Stitch.]
[Peter Pan crows like a rooster and the Lost Boys chatter, approaching him]
Timon: Watch it! [he gets stuck in between two characters, Terk and Victor. Dumbo arrives and sends him soaring into the air, then he approaches Pumbaa] Okay, buddy. You win.
Pumbaa: Sure you don't mind?
Timon: Hakuna matata. [Pumbaa gives him the remote and starts the film]
Pumbaa: Timon... (background fades into black) I still don't do so well in crowds.
