The Lion King II: Simba's Pride
The Lion King II: Simba's Pride is a 1998 direct-to-video film released by the Walt Disney Company on October 27, 1998, as a sequel to the 1994 film The Lion King. It premiered a year after the Broadway musical with same name began its production. The film centers around Simba's daughter, Kiara, who falls in love with Kovu, a male lion who was raised in a pride of Scar's followers, who are Simba's enemies. Desperate to be together, they must overcome the two obstacles that are keeping them apart: Simba and Kovu's mother, Zira.

[edit] Simba
- Kovu, I was wrong. You belong here.
- We are one.
- [to Kiara jokingly playing with her] Where do you think your going in such a hurry?
- Kiara what did you think you were doing you could've been killed today.
[edit] Kiara
- [exitedly runs out of the den at Pride Rock, looks at the view] Wow! [Starts to run off but is caught by Simba just in time]
- Daddy let go.
- [Being scolded by Simba after running off to the outlands] But Daddy I..I didn't mean to diso...
[edit] Kovu
- I'm sorry, Mother! She didn't seem so bad.
- [talking to himself] Okay, I have to tell her today. Oh, where do I start? "Kiara, Zira had a plot, and I was part of it, but I don't want to be... because... it's because I love you." [exhales] She'll never believe me but I'm gonna try.
[edit] Zira
- These lands belonged to Scar!
- Oh no, Simba. We have barely begun. [looks down at Kiara and chuckles wickedly]
- Simba is injured and weak. Now is the time to attack! We shall take his entire kingdom, BY FORCE!
- Oh the battle may be bloody, but that kind of works for me!
[edit] Timon
- Pumba, let me define, BABYSITTING!!
- Timon, Pumba. Great. Now that we all know each other, GET OUT OF OUR PRIDELANDS!!
- Boy, does she need a hobby!
- Pfft! That's not a king. That's a fuzzy maraca!
- [After Pumbaa tries to rescue Kiara in the lake but lands on her] Uh, Simba, the good news is, we found your daughter. The bad news is, we dropped a warthog on her. Is there a problem with that?
- I never even really met your tyrant. I mean, uh, Scar! Oh, heck of a guy! A little moody, but-
- [Cocks Pumbaa's tail]: Don't anybody move! This thing's loaded! I'll let ya have it!
- [rehearsing the confession to Simba] All right let's see, gee Simba! The good news is, we found your daughter. The bad news is, we dropped a warthog on her. Is there a problem with that?
[edit] Pumbaa
- Don't worry, Kiara! Uncle Pumba's coming!
- I thought our motto was "Hakuna Matata".
[edit] Others
- Timon and Pumba: (Rafiki reveals Kiara is a girl) Girl. GIRL?!?! OY!! (They faint)
- Nuka: Oh, hey, Vitani. Where's little termite Kovu? "The chosen one?"
- Rafiki: Kovu...Kiara...together? This is the plan? [to the sky, talking to Mufasa] ARE YOU CRAZY?!? This will never work! Oh, Mufasa. You been up there too long! Your head is in the clouds!
- Vitani: Where's your pretty daughter, Nala?
- Nuka: Roasty toasty princess, roasty toasty princess! [finishes lighting the grass on fire (in a circle around him) and jumps in excitement, but then pauses] Hey, is it hot here or is that just me?
- Zira: I have dreamed of nothing else for years!
- Timon: Boy, does she need a hobby.
- Timon: Tango-Charlie-Alpha. What's your position?
- Pumbaa: Uh...upright, head turned slightly to the left, tail erect.
- Timon: Why do I bother?
[edit] Dialogue
Simba: You know the penalty for returing to the Pridelands.
Zira: But the child does not! However....if you need your pound of flesh, here.
[nudges a terrified Kovu over to Simba, who glares at him. Kovu shivers in fright.]
Simba: Take him and get out. We're finished here [turns around and picks Kiara up with his mouth as he's getting ready to leave].
Kiara: You don't know him!
Simba: I know he's following in Scar's paw prints. And I must follow in my father's.
Kiara: You will never be Mufasa! [takes off weeping]
Zira: What have I taught you?
Kovu: Simba is the enemy.
Zira: And what must you do?
Kovu: I must KILL him!
