Oh.... uh ... around the water hole.

The water hole?! What's so great about the water hole?

I'll show you when we get there.

Oh.... Uh.... Mom, can I go with Simba?

Hmm... What do you think, Sarabi?

Well...

Pleeeease?

It's all right with me....

All right!

...As long as Zazu goes with you.

No! Not Zazu.

Step lively. The sooner we get to the water hole, the sooner we can leave.

So where're we really going?

The elephant graveyard.

Wow!

Shhh! Zazu.

Right. So how are we gonna ditch the dodo?

Oh I know how we can--

Oh, just look at you two.

Little seeds of romance blossoming in the savannah.

Your parents will be thrilled...

what with your being betrothed and all.

Be-what?

Betrothed. Intended. Affianced.

Meaning...?

One day you two are going to be married!

Yuck!

Ewww!

I can't marry her. She's my friend.

Yeah. It'd be too weird.

Well, sorry to bust your bubble, but you two turtle doves have no choice. It's a tradition...

...going back generations.

Well when I'm king, that'll be the first thing to go.

Not so long as I'm around.

Well in that case, you're fired.

Hmmm.... Nice try, but only the king can do that.

Well, He's the future king.

Yeah.So you have to do what I tell you.

Not yet I don't. And with an attitude like that,

I'm afraid you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king indeed.

Hmph. Not the way I see it.

I'm gonna be the mighty king. So enemies beware!

Well, I've never seen the king of beasts... With quite so little hair

I'm gonna be the mane event

Like no king was before

I'm brushing up on looking down

I'm working on my ROAR!!

Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think....

No one saying do this

No one saying be there

No one saying stop that

No one saying see here

Free to run around all day

Free to do it all my way!

I think it's time that you and I. Arranged a heart to heart

Kings don't need advice

From little hornbills for a start

If this is where the monarchy is headed

Count me out!

Out of service, out of Africa I wouldn't hang about ... aaagh!

This child is getting wildly out of wing

Oh I just can't wait to be king!

Everybody look left

Everybody look right

Everywhere you look I'm

Standing in the spotlight

Let every creature go for broke and sing

Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing

It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling

Oh I just can't wait to be king!

Oh I just can't wait to be king!

Oh I just can't waaaaaait ... to be kiiiiiiiiiing!

I beg your pardon, madam, but ... GET OFF!... Simba? Nala?

All right, it worked!

We lost 'im.

I ... am a genius.

Hey, Genius, it was my idea.

Yeah, but I pulled it off.

With me!

Oh yeah?... Rrarr!!

Ha. Pinned ya.

Hey, lemme up.

Pinned ya again.

This is it.... We made it.

Whoa!

It's really creepy.

Yeah... isn't it great?

We could get in big trouble.

I know, huh.

I wonder if its brains are still in there.

There's only one way to know. Come on. Let's go check it out.

The only checking out you will do will be to check out of here.

Aw, man.

We're way beyond the boundary of the Pride Lands.

Huh. Look, banana beak is scared. Heh.

That's Mister Banana Beak to you, fuzzy.

And right now we are all in very real danger.

Danger? Hah! I walk on the wild side.

I laugh in the face of danger. Ha ha ha ha!

Well, well, well, Banzai. What have we got here?

Hmm. I don't know Shenzi. Uh... What do you think, Ed?

Yeah, just what I was thinking. A trio of trespassers!!

And quite by accident, let me assure you.

A simple navigational error. Eh heh heh...

Whoa, whoa, wait wait wait.... I know you.

You're Mufasa's little stooge.

I, madam, am the king's majordomo.

And that would make you...?

The future king.

Do you know what we do to kings who step out of their kingdom?

Puh. You can't do anything to me.

Uhh.... Technically, they can. We are on their land.

But Zazu, you told me they're nothing

but slobbering mangy stupid poachers.

Ix-nay on the oopid-stay...

"Who you callin' ""oopid-stay?!?"""

My, my, my. Look at the sun. It's time for work!

What's the hurry? We'd love you to stick around for dinner.

Yeaaaah! We could have whatever's ... lion around!

Get it? Lion around!

Oh wait, wait, wait. I got one, I got one.

Make mine a cub sandwich. Whatcha think?

What? Ed? What is it?

Hey, did we order this dinner to go?

No. Why?

'Cause there it goes!!

Did we lose 'em?

I think so.... Where's Zazu?

The little Majordomo bird hippity-hopped

all the way to a birdie-boiler.

Oh no.... Not a birdie-boiler! Aaaaaaaa...!

Hey! Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?

Like ... you?

Whoops!

Boo!

Simba!

Aaaaiee!

Here kitty, kitty, kitty.

Oo-hoo... That was it? Hah. Do it again.... come on.

Huh?!

Oh, Please, please. Uncle. Uncle.

Ow. Ow. Ow.

Silence!

Oh, we're gonna shut up and right now.

Calm down. We're really sorry.

If you ever come near my son again...

Oh this is ... this is your son?!?

Oh your son??

Did you know that?

No.... Me? I-I-I didn't know it. No. Did you?

No! Of course not.

Oooh! Ed?

Toodles!

Dad, I ..

You deliberately disobeyed me.

Dad, I'm sorry.

Now let's go home.

I thought you were very brave.

Zazu?

Yes, sire?

Take Nala home. I've got to teach my son the lesson.

Come, Nala. Simba... Good luck.

Simba!

Simba, I'm very disappointed in you.

I know.

You could have been killed. You deliberately disobeyed me.

And what's worse,- you put Nala in danger!

I was just trying to be brave like you.

I'm only brave when I have to be.

Simba ... being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble.

But you're not scared of anything.

I was today.

You were?

Yes ... I thought I might lose you.

Oh. I guess even kings get scared, huh?

Mm-hmm.

But you know what?

What?

I think those hyenas were even scareder.

Cause nobody messes with your dad. Come here, you.

Oh no, no ... Aaagh! Errrggh! ...

Oh, come here... Hah! Gotcha!

Dad?

Hmm?

We're pals, right?

Right.

And we'll always be together, right?

Simba, ... Let me tell you something that my father told me ... Look at the stars.

The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars.

Really?

Yes ... So whenever you feel alone,

just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you

... And so will I.

Man that lousy Mufasa! I won't be able to sit for a week.

It's not funny, Ed.

Hey, shut up!

Would you knock it off!

Well, she started it.

Look at you guys. No wonder we're dangling at the bottom of the food chain.
