The story of an orphan who would be king.taglines

Mufasa

[edit]

Cub

  • [wet.] I'm not a stray, I'm just…lost.

Young adult

  • Sometimes, I get a scent. It's barely a trace on the wind. It smells like home. Then it's gone.
  • [from the second trailer] I'm here to protect you, my brother.
  • [from the third and final trailer] He's going to start a new kingdom.
  • [remembers what Eshe says to him, says it to Sarabi.] Close your eyes. Tell me what you hear. What you feel.
  • [from the third trailer] I will not bend to evil. We must fight together.
  • I'm not king, not royal blood.
  • As long as I'm king, my brother will have a place here. [Taka: Mufasa, I'm so…] But I won't ever say your name again. I can't...I won't!
  • [Taka: Then call me Scar - so that I can't forget what I have done.] "Scar."
  • Operatic roaring while standing on Pride Rock like adult Simba at the end of the movie with his last line

Taka / Scar

[edit]

Cub

  • [to Mufasa, when they just first met.] Hello, I’m Taka; son of Obasi! What’s your name? [Mufasa replies: Mufasa.]
  • [from the second trailer] I have a secret, Mufasa. I always wanted a brother.

Yound Adult

  • [jumps of the waterfall with Mufasa.] This was a bad idea!
  • [Mufasa: Taka, don't eat him.] [from the third and final trailer] Wonderful. Another we're not supposed to eat.
  • You stole my destiny. Now this is yours.
  • Then call me Scar - so that I can't forget what I have done. [Mufasa: "Scar."] Your majesty. [then walks away.]

Rafiki

[edit]

Adult

  • It’s time I tell you a story. A story of a cub not much bigger than you.
  • [from the first trailer] This story begins far beyond the mountains and the shadows on the other side of the light. A lion was born without a drop of nobility in his blood, a lion who would change our lives forever.
  • [from the second trailer] Long before they became legends, Mufasa and the prince, who would come to be known as "Scar," became brothers.

Young Adult

  • [from the third and final trailer] If you take my life, you will never find where you are going.
  • I am not a baboon, I am a mandrill.
  • We are nearing destiny, Mufasa. And so the earth must shake.
  • [from the first trailer] Destiny awaits you.
  • It's not about what you were, it's what you will become.
  • It is your time, Mufasa.

Kiros

[edit]
  • [from the second trailer] The Circle is broken. There will be one Lion King.
  • [from the third and final trailer] We have come to rule without mercy.
  • This kingdom belongs to me.
  • Blood for blood!
  • [last words] I didn’t kill him… you did.

Kiara

[edit]

Eshe

[edit]
  • MUFASA, RUN!!!
  • They were huge, white as ghosts, like nothing I've seen before.
  • Mufasa, you and Taka together. That is home.
  • Taka, your moment of courage will come.
  • I told you to wait for me! [Taka: But we can't just leave him here.] Rules are rules, Taka. The king will never accept a stray.

Dialogue

[edit]
In remembrance of James Earl Jones
Mufasa: [from offscreen; archive audio] Look at the stars, whenever you feel alone, the great kings of the past will always be prepared to guide you. And so will I.
Timon: [he and Pumbaa enter the scene.] Security detail reporting for duty. Your Grace, Your Higness...
Pumbaa: Ruler of all four-legged creatures. [bows.]
Timon: And that one three-legged zebra.
Pumbaa: Oh, right. Ron. That was tragic.
Timon: It was an eat-an-Ron.
Pumbaa: Yeah.
Timon: Ron has three legs. That's still one more than me.
Pumbaa: [looking at Timon's arms] Well, are those arms are legs?
Timon: I don't know. I think they're paws.
Pumbaa: I consider all those legs.
Simba: Guys, this is serious. I need you to stay with Kiara until I get back.
Pumbaa: Are you saying that your security detail has been called on to do babysitting.
Timon: Pumbaa, we should really discuss this, because [whispers in Pumbaa's ear.] I don't really love chil—
Simba: Guys, I promised her everything will be okay.
Timon: [sarcastically] Well, that's one way to parent.
Pumbaa: [sarcastically] She's gotta grow up sometime.
Timon: What else did you tell her? That she can be whatever she wants to be?
Pumbaa: That life is fair?
Simba: I need you two to try and act like adults, okay? Don't scare Kiara. And most of all, no stories.
Pumbaa: No stories?
Timon: Wait a sec.
Simba: I know where your head goes. I grew up with you two. Promise me.
Pumbaa: You know what, you know what, you know what? Fine. No stories.
Timon: Speak for yourself, Pumbaa.
Pumbaa: No. Pssh. [whispers to Timon] We'll tell a story anyway.
Timon: [whispers back] Okay. We're gonna tell him that we're not gonna tell a story, and then we're gonna tell a story and then...
Simba: Are you guys serious? I'm clearly with an earshot. [Kiara enters the scene.] Kiara. Hey, little one.
Kiara: I'm scared, Dad. I don't want you to leave.
Don't be scared, my love. Timon and Pumbaa will watch you while I'm gone. Be brave now, Kiara. Be brave. [Then leaves the scene.]
Pumbaa: [in normal voice] Okay, we prepared a story! [cut to the final battle from the remake, in which he and Timon defeat Scar instead of Simba].
Timon: [in normal voice, voiceover] Scar looked at us! He knew it was the end of the line! I COULD SMELL THE FEAR!
Pumbaa: [voiceover.] That was actually me, but yes. [Scar attacks, but Timon punches him. Then Pumbaa headbutts him off the cliff.]
Kiara: So you two defeated Scar, and then you ate him?
Timon: Honestly, one of the best meals I ever had.
Timon: Pumbaa, no! It is way too early for the song!
Pumbaa: It worked on Simba! He thought he had murdered his own father. He sang that song for six years straight!
Timon: Well, who didn't?! [thunder rumbles again] AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! IT'S RON THE THREE3-LEGGED ZEBRA! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
Pumbaa: We're sorry, Ron! They were just jokes! [Rafiki enters the scene]
Kiara: It's Rafiki. [runs to Rafiki.] Rafiki!
Rafiki: Little one, there's no reason to cry.
Kiara: My parents. They're gone.
Rafiki: I'll tell you secret. When your father, Simba, was your age, he was afraid of the thunder, and would hide behind the king.
Kiara: But I can never be like Mufasa.
Rafiki: Then maybe it's time I tell you a story. A story of a cub, not much bigger than you.
Kiara: [sees Simba come back then runs to him.] DAD!!!
Pumbaa: Rafiki, that was unbelievable! You could not improve it!
Timon: That said, I do not have notes.
Pumbaa: A bunch of suggestions. Take 'em or leave 'em, but take 'em.
Kiara: Dad!
Simba: Kiara! [Kiara and Simba hug.] Kiara...
Kiara: [reunites with Simba.] Dad? Where's Mom?
Simba: Well love, there's something you need to know.
Kiara: What, did something happen to Mom?
Nala: [enters the scene with Kion.] Baby, I'm right here. And I'm fine. I'd like you to meet your new brother.
Kiara: Brother? I have a brother? Hello, little one. My name is Kiara. And I will take care of you...forever. [says the same thing Rafiki said to her.] Little one, let me tell you a story. A story of a great king.
