Nothing-- he's at the top of the food chain!

The food cha-haain! Ah heh-- Ahem.

So, where you from?

Who cares? I can't go back.

"Ahh. You're the outcast! That's great; so are we!"

What'cha do, kid?

Something terrible. But I don't wanna talk about it.

Good. We don't wanna hear about it.

Come on Timon. Anything we can do?

Not unless you can change the past.

"You know, kid, in times like this my buddy Timon here says

""You got to put your behind in your past."""

No. No. No.

I mean...

"Amateur. Lie down before you hurt yourself.

It's ""You got to put your past behind you."""

Look, kid. Bad things happen, and you can't do anything about it, right?

Right.

Wrong! When the world turns its back on you,

you turn your back on the world!

Well, that's not what I was taught.

Then maybe you need a new lesson.

Repeat after me. Hakuna Matata.

What?

Ha-ku-na Ma-ta-ta. It means no worries.

Hakuna Matata!

What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata!

Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries for the rest of your days

It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna Matata?

Yeah, it's our motto.

What's a motto?

Nothing! What's a motto with you? Ah haah haah hah hah...

You know, kid-- these two words will solve all your problems.

That's right! Take Pumbaa for example.

Why, when he was a young wart-hog

When I was a young wart hooog!

Very nice.

Thanks!

He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal

He could clear the Savannah after every meal

I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned

And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind

And oh, the shame

He was ashamed

Thoughta changin' my name

Oh, what's in a name

And I got downhearted

How did you feel

Ev'rytime that I...

Hey, Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!

Oh. Sorry.

Hakuna Matata!

What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata!

Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

Yeah, sing it, kid!

It's our problem-free philosophy.

Hakuna Matata!

Welcome to our humble home.

You live here?

We live wherever we want.

Yep. Home is where your rump rests. Heh!

It's beautiful.

I'm starved!

I'm so hungry I could eat the whole zebra.

Eeeahhah. We're fresh out of zebra.

- Any antelope?

- Nah.

- Hippo?

- Nope.

Listen to me kid, if want to live with us, you have to eat like us

Hey, this looks like a good spot to rustle up some grub

- What's that?

Hey grub, what's it think I look like?

Ooh, Gross!

It tastes like chicken

Slimy yet satisfying!

These are the rare delicacies. Hmm. Piquant with a very pleasant

crunch.

You'll learn to love them!

I'm telling you kid, this is the great life.

No rules, no responsibility.

ooh, the little cream filled kind... and best of all, no worries! Well kid!

Oh, well...

Hakuna Matata!

Slimy, yet satisfying.

That's it!

Hakuna Matata

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!

Nobody knows

The trouble I see...

Nobody knows

My sorrow...

Oh Zazu, do lighten up.

Sing something with a little bounce in it.

It's the small world after all

No! No. Anything but that!

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts

There they are the-standing in the row.

Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head

Oh I would never have had to do this for Mufasa.

What? What did you say?

Oh, nothing!

You know the law: Never, ever mention that name in my presence.

I ... am ... the king!

Yes, sire. You are the king. I, I, Well,

Well I only mentioned it to illustrate the differences

in your royal managerial approaches.

Hey, Boss!

Oh, What is it this time?

We got a bone to pick with you.

I'll handle this. Scar, there is no food, no water.

Yeah, it's dinner time, and we ain't got no stinkin' entrees.

It's the lionesses' job to do the hunting

Yeah, but they won't go hunt.

Oh, eat Zazu.

Oh, you wouldn't want me. I'd be so tough and gamey and- eewwgh!

Oh, Zazu, don't be ridiculous!

All you need is a little garnish.

I thought things were bad under Mufasa...

What did you say?

I said Muf--

"I said, uh ... ""Qu pasa?"""

Good. Now get out.

Mm, yeah, but-- we're still hungry.

Out!

Whoah. Nice one, Simba.

Thanks. Man, I'm stuffed.

Me too. I am a pig!

Pumbaa-- you are the pig.

Oh. Right.

Timon?

Yeah?

Ever wonder what those sparkly dots are up there?

"Pumbaa. I don't wonder; I know."

Oh! ...What are they?

They were the fireflies. The fireflies that uh, got stuck up

on that big, bluish-black, thing.

Oh. Gee. I always thought that they were

balls of gas burning billions of miles away.

Pumbaa, wit' you, everything's gas.

Simba, what do you think?

Well, I don't know

Aw come on. Give, give, give ..

Well, come on, Simba, we told you ours... pleeeease?

Well, somebody once told me that the great kings

of the past are up there watching over us.

Really?

You mean a bunch of royal dead guys are watching us?Pbbb.

Who told you something like that? What mook made that up?

Yeah. Pretty dumb, huh?

Ah, you're killing me, Simba.

Was it something I said?

Simba? He's- he's alive? He he- He's alive!!

It is time!

Ohi'mbube

Ohi'mbube

In the jungle

The mighty jungle

The lion sleeps tonight.

Pumbaa? What's going on?

SHE'S GONNA EAT ME!!

Huh?

Whoah!! ... Jeez! Why do I always have to save your AAAAAA!!

"Don't worry, buddy; I'm here for you. Everything's gonna be okay."

Get her! Bite her head! Go for the jugular. The jugular!

See, I told you he'd come in handy.

Nala?

Is it really you?

Who are you?

It's me. Simba.

Simba? Whoah!!!

Well how did you.. where did you come from ... it's great to see you..

Aaaah! how did you... who... wow... this is cool... it's great to see you.

Hey, what's goin' on here?

What are you doing here?

"What do you mean,

""What am I doing here?"" What are you doing here?"

HEY!! WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE?!?

"Timon, this is Nala, she's my best friend!"

Friend?!?

Yeah. Hey, Pumbaa! Come over here.

Nala, this is Pumbaa. Pumbaa, Nala.

Pleased to make your acquaintance.

The pleasure's all mine.

Well how do you do.. Whoa! Whoa. Time out... Let me get this straight.

You know her. She knows you. But she wants to eat them.

And, everybody's okay with this?

DID I MISS SOMETHING?!

Relax, Timon.

Wait 'til everybody finds out you've been here all this time.
