Leo the Lion: King of the Jungle Page #5

And your mother what will she think?

She doesn't have to know. Nobody has to know.

Well, of course they do. Everyone thinks you're dead.

They do?

Yes. Scar told us about the stampede.

He did? What else did he tell you?

What else matters? You're alive. And that means... you're the king!

King? Pbbb. Lady, have you got your lions crossed.

King? Your Majesty! I gravel at your feet.

Stop it.

"It's not ""gravel,"" it's ""grovel."" And don't, she's got the king. Are ya?"

No.

Simba!

No, I'm not the king. Maybe I was gonna be.

But, that was the long time ago.

Look at this straight. You are the king?

And you never told us?

Look, I'm still the same guy.

But with power!

Could you guys ... excuse us for a better few minutes?

Hey, whatever she has to say, she can say in front of us. Right, Simba?

Hmm.... Maybe you'd better go .

It starts. You think you know a guy.....

Timon and Pumbaa. You learn to love 'em.

What? What is it?

It's like you're back from death.

You don't know how much this will mean to everyone.

What it means to me.

" Hey; it's OK."

I've really missed you.

I've missed you too.

I tell ya, Pumbaa. This stinks.

Oh. Sorry.

Not you. Them! Him. Her. Alone...

What's wrong with that?

I can see what's happening

What?

And they don't have a clue

Who?

They'll fall in love and here's a bottom line

Our trio's down to two.

Oh...

The sweet caress of twilight

There's magic everywhere

And with all this romantic atmosphere

Disaster's in the air

Can you feel the love tonight?

The peace of evening brings

The world, for once, in perfect harmony

With all its living things

So many things to tell her

But how to make her see

The truth about my past? Impossible!

She'd turn away from me

He's holding back, he's hiding

But what, I can't decide

Why won't he be the king I know he is

The king I see inside?

Can you feel the love tonight?

The peace of evening brings

The world, for once, in perfect harmony

With all its living things

Can you feel the love tonight?

You needn't look too far

Stealing through the night's uncertainties

Love is where they are.

And if he falls in love tonight

It can be assumed

His carefree days with us are history

In short, our pal is doomed

Is this the great place?

It is beautiful.... But I don't understand something.

You've been alive all this time.

What you need return to Pride Rock?

Well, I just ... needed to get out on my own.

Pretty own life. And it did. And it's great!

What you need at home.

Nobody needs me.

Yes you do! You are the king.

Nala, we've been through this. I'm not the king. But Scar it is.

Simba, listen to me. Scar and the hyenas taken from the Pride Lands.

What?

Everything's destroyed. There is no food, no water.

Simba, if you don't do something soon, everyone will starve.

I can't go back.

Why?

Do you understand.

What wouldn't I understand?

No, no, no. It doesn't matter. Hakuna Matata.

What?

Hakuna Matata. It's something I learned out here.

Look, sometimes bad things happen

Simba!

...and there's nothing you can do about it! So why worry?

Because it's your responsibility.

But what about you or left.

I left to find help! And I found you.

Do you understand? You are the only hope.

Sorry.

What's happening to you? You're not this Simba remember.

"You're right, I’m not. And now you were satisfying"

Nope, just disappointed.

You don’t understand myself my father.

Good. At least one of us does.

Listen! You think you can just show up and tell me how to live my life?

You don't even know what I've been through.

I would if you'd just tell me!

Forget it! Fine!

She's wrong. I can't go back. What would it prove, anyway?

It won't change anything. You can't change the past.

You said you'd always be there for me!... But you're not.

And it's because of me. It's my fault.... It's my ... fault.

Come on, will you cut it out?

Can't cut it out. It'll grow right back!

Creepy little monkey. Will you stop following me? Who are you?

The question is:
whooo... are you?

I thought I knew.... Now I'm not so sure.

Well, I know who you are. Shh. Come here. It's a secret.

Ernh! Enough already! ...What's that supposed to mean anyway?

It means you are a baboon-- and I'm not.

I think, you're a little confused.

"Wrong! I'm not the one who's confused;

you don't even know who you are!"

All right suppose you do.

"Sure do, you're Mufasa's boy!"

Good luck!

Hey, wait for me!

You’re my father?

Correction-- I know your father.

I need to tell us, but she died. For a long time ago.

Nope. Wrong again! Hah hah hah! She's alive and I'll show him to you.

"You followed Rafiki, he knows the way. Come on!"

Don't dawdle.... Hurry up!

Hey, whoa. Wait, wait.

Come on. Come on!

Would you slow down?

STOP! Shhh. Look down there.

That's not my father. That's just my reflection.

Noo. Look ... harder.

You see ... he lives in you.

Simba . . .

Father?

Simba, you have forgotten me.

No. How could I?

You have forgotten who you are, and so have forgotten me.

Look inside yourself, Simba.

You are more than what you have become.

You must take your place in the Circle of Life.

How can I go back? I'm not who I used to be.

Remember who you are. You’re my son, and the one true king.

Remember who you are.

No! Please! Don't leave me.

Remember...

Father!

Remember...

Don't leave me.

Remember...

What was that? The weather-- Pbbbah! Very peculiar. Don't you think?

Yep. It looks like the winds are changing.

Ahhh, the change is good.

Yep, but it's not easy. I know what I have to do.

But, going that means I'll have to face my past.

You’ve been running from it for so long....Ouch! Jeez-- what was that for?

"It doesn't matter, is in the past!"

Yep, but it still hurts.

Oh yes, it past can hurt. But the way I see it,

you can either run from it... or ... learn from it.

Hah! You see? So what are you going to do?

First... I'm gonna take your stick.

No, no, no, no! Not the stick!

Hey! Where are you going?

I'm going back!

Good! Go on! Get out of here!

Hey. Hey, wake up.

It's OK. Whoa, whoa. It's OK. It's me.

Don't ever do that again! Carnivores, oy!

Have you guys seen Simba?

I thought he was with you.

He was, but now I can't find him. Where is he?

Ho ho ho ho! You won't find him here.

Ha ha. The king has returned.

I can't believe it. He's gone back!

Gone back? What do you mean? Hey!
