[edit]
  • Scar! Brother, help me!
  • Remember.
    • Who: Mufasa
    • Source: The Lion King (1994)
    • Note: Mufasa, who was hanging on a cliff trying to get away from a blue wildebeest stampede after saving his son Simba, pleads for Scar to help him, but Scar refuses, grabbing Mufasa's paws, mockingly says "Long live the king", and then tosses him from the cliff into the stampede, straight to his death. Years later, he appears in the clouds as a spirit, convincing his son to return to Pride Rock and reclaim his place as king. The next line is the last word he says; the last word of the movie.
  • Ohhh, my friends. [Shenzi: "Friends"? I thought he said we were the enemy.] [Banzai: Yeah, that's what I heard.] [Shenzi and Banzai: Ed?] [Ed chuckles deviously and slurps his lips, as the many other hyenas approached Scar, laughing evilly together] No, let me explain! No, you don't understand! No, I didn't mean it! NO, NO! NO, I DIDN'T... I WAS MEANT- I... NO, NO!
    • Who: Scar
    • Source: The Lion King (1994)
    • Note: Scar had previously blamed his hyena minions for Mufasa's death in an attempt to gain mercy from Simba, not knowing that they had been listening. After being defeated by Simba, and thrown off into the embers below, he is surrounded and torn to shreds by his former minions.
  • I'm sorry, Mother. I tried.
    • Who: Nuka
    • Source: The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998)
    • Note: Nuka said this after chasing Simba, who goes up a pile of logs to escape from Zira and the other Outsiders. Simba escapes, but the logs come falling on him, causing his death. The line is originally going to include "Well, I finally got your attention, didn't I? Didn't I...", and him squeezing out from under the logs, but it was scrapped.
  • Where are you going? Get back here! [Simba: Let it go, Zira. It's time to put the past behind us.] I'll never let it go! This is for you, Scar!
    • Who: Zira
    • Source: The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998)
    • Note: Zira was about to attack Simba when Simba's daughter, Kiara, suddenly knocks her aside. They both fall down a cliff towards the rapids of a gorge with a rushing river full of logs. Although Kiara tries to save her, Zira falls to her death as she screams while considering the offer. The original concept was to have Zira about to whisper with reply "No. Never!", and deliberately let go of the cliff, but it was also scrapped.
  • Scar! Help me!
  • Remember.
    • Who: Mufasa 2019
    • Source: The Lion King (2019)
    • Note: Mufasa, who was hanging on a cliff trying to get away from a blue wildebeest stampede after saving his son Simba, pleads for Scar to help him, but Scar refuses, grabbing Mufasa's paws, mockingly says "Long live the king", and then slaps him from the cliff into the stampede, straight to his death. Mufasa years later appears in the clouds as a spirit, convincing his son to return to Pride Rock and reclaim his place as king. The next line is the last word he says; the last word of the movie.
  • My friends...it will take some time, but together, we will build our army! [Kamari: "Friends", huh? I thought you said we were "revolting scavengers".] [Azizi: Yeah! That you wanted to kill us!] No! No, let me explain! I was trying to fool him! We will rule together! [Shenzi: There's only one true thing you ever said, Scar: "A hyena's belly is never full."] NOOOOO!!!!
