The Lion King 1½ Page #4

---

Oh ho ho ho ho!

It means "No worries. "

I see.

So, I told the boy

to find hakuna matata...

you must look

beyond what you see.

Oh, a metaphor.

Well, actually,

it's not a meta-aah!

You used a metaphor on Timon?

He takes things literally.

That's it.

He's starving out there.

I just know it.

Max, Timon's out there

chasing metaphors.

I've got to go find him.

Are you nuts?

Nice to have

a supportive family, isn't it?

Well, here I go.

Remember, the journey

of a thousand miles...

begins with the first step.

Thanks. Here's my first step.

Yeow!

Ay!

This bowling

for porcupines...

wasn't the best idea, huh?

Yeah. Got to be

right up there...

with bobbing

for snapping turtles.

Aah ha ha!

Oh, that's going

to leave a little mark.

Hey, look, Timon, buzzards.

What do you say,

one more round?

Oh, sure. There must be

some part of me...

we haven't injured yet.

Oh, please?

Oh, please, oh, please,

oh, please, oh, please?

Nah, Pumbaa, I'm beat.

You go ahead.

I'm calling it a day.

But it's no fun alone.

Aw, why not?

One more run

won't change our lives.

- Yaah!

- Yaah!

Who knows

why fate led us...

to little Simba that day.

Maybe it was just

my love of adventure...

or my innate courage...

my valiant

and fearless way of-

OK, who's in charge

of the freeze frames?

Sorry.

Anywho...

rescuing Simba was a cinch.

Then came the really

scary part-

parenthood.

In the jungle,

the mighty jungle

The lion sleeps tonight

In the jungle,

the mighty jungle...

Timon. Timon.

Timon!

Oh. Ohh.

- I got to go.

- Go?

Go where?

You know, go-bad.

Oh, go. Why didn't you say so?

Come on, let's go.

When you got to go,

you got to go.

Young lion,

get down from there.

Whoo-hoo! All right!

Man, you guys look like

ants down there.

I'm counting to three.

Yahoo!

Uh-oh.

One, two-

Three.

In the jungle,

the mighty jungle

Timon.

Oh! Again?

No. I'm thirsty.

You know this means

you'll be up again...

about two hours from now.

Jungle boogie

Jungle boogie,

get it on

Hang on, Simba!

I'll save you!

Yahoo!

Whoa!

Timon?

The mighty jungle...

We're going to get old

walking across this thing.

- Jungle boogie

- Whoa!

In the jungle,

the might-

- Timon?

- Aah!

What have you got

against the concept...

of a good night's sleep, huh?

Actually, I, uh...

I had a bad dream.

Oh, well...

Uhh! It wasn't me.

Junior had a bad dream.

Ohh.

Why don't you sleep

over here with us?

Mi Pumbaa, su Pumbaa.

All right!

The lion sleeps tonight

Good night.

Sleep tight.

Dream of bedbugs tonight.

Uyy!

My little darling

Don't fear,

my little darling

Hey-a,

oh, my little darling

Oh, don't fear,

my little darling

Don't fear,

my little darling

Hey-a,

oh, my little darling

Whoa. Watch where you aim

that morning breath.

That should come

with a warning label.

Whoo, what a wake-up call.

Heh heh heh.

Looks like someone woke up...

on the wrong side

of the warthog.

What's the matter, pops?

Had a little too much

hakuna matata?

Ooh. Sonny boy,

I invented hakuna matata.

Oh, yeah? Well, I perfected it.

Sure you did, sure you did.

Pumbaa, who holds the record for

the world's longest bug belch?

Uh, that would be Simba.

All righty, then.

Who's the champion

at slug swallowing?

Simba again.

- Cricket crunching?

- Simba.

- Grub gulping?

- Simba.

- Maggot munching?

- Still Simba.

Snail slurping?

Oh, uh, nobody.

We never had a snail eating

contest before.

I don't think

this is such a good idea.

Uhh...

I told you this wasn't

such a good idea.

Thus did the pupil

surpass the teacher.

You've been

hanging around...

with the monkey again,

haven't you?

Uhh.

Our Simba

is growing up.

Is this the little boy

I carried?

When did he grow

to be so tall?

Wasn't it yesterday

When he was small?

Sunrise, sunset

Swiftly fly the years

Swiftly fly the years

One season

following another

Laden with happiness

And tears

So, you see, that's why

they call it a dung beetle.

Ew. You don't say.

And yet still so tasty.

Oh, yeah,

and they're my favorite, too.

Ooh!

Ah. Ahh.

Just what the doctor ordered.

Yep. After a long day

of doing nothing...

it's good to kick back.

Three pals and no worries.

What more could you want?

Ahh.

I'm bushed.

Think I'll turn in

for the night.

I'm out.

Right behind you.

- Oh!

- Ah ha ha!

You're killing me.

Ha ha!

Timon, it's your turn

to say good night.

Good night.

Sleep tight.

Dream of bedbugs tonight.

Ahh.

You got to admit...

we had a pretty good thing

going there.

We could've gone on

like that forever.

Except for one

teeny weeny little thing...

we forgot to count on.

Nala?

- Waah!

- Waah!

- How did you-

- How did you-

This is a disaster, Pumbaa-

a disaster, I tell you.

This is a disaster, Pumbaa-

a disaster, I tell you.

You mean because they've

finally found each other...

like two soul mates

joined across the years...

by the bonds of true love?

Sweet, innocent little Pumbaa.

She's going to put a stake

right through the heart...

of our hakuna matata.

Oh, then I guess

we ought to do something.

And I know just what it is.

Pumbaa, we can't let them

feel the love tonight.

Ow!

Aah!

Can you feel

the love tonight?

Can you feel

the love tonight?

That's so romantic.

Uhh.

Can you feel

the love tonight?

Aah!

Whoa! Oh!

- Waah!

- Waah!

- Aah!

- Aah!

Can you feel

the love tonight?

The peace

the evening brings?

- Aah! Oof!

- Aah! Oof!

Well, that worked like a dream.

It did?

Sarcasm is a foreign language

to you, isn't it?

Look!

Can you feel

the love tonight?

She's making those eyes.

He's smiling that smile.

They're laughing...

and hugging...

and-and...

And if he falls

in love tonight

It can be assumed

His carefree days

With us are history

In short,

our pal is doomed

Ah, that's it, buddy.

We gave it our best shot,

but he's a goner.

Maybe not.

You never give up, do you?

Look.

You don't even know

what I've been through.

- I would if you'd just tell me.

- Forget it.

Fine!

Pumbaa, do you know

what this means?

Uh, he can't express

his feelings...

and she has commitment issues?

We won. Ya ha ha!

We split them up.

And, uh, that's a good thing?

Uh, he seems to be

taking it kind of hard.

Yeah, I know.

Look, I...

But it's the best

thing for us.

I mean for him.

Ooh, let's go, Pumbaa.

I think this storm's

coming to a head.

Hakuna matata

is safe at last, pal...

because nothing's going

to take our boy away now.

He's gone?

What do you mean, he's gone?

It's just like the baboon said.

The king has returned.

Ohh. You want me

to go over it again?

Yes, please, but be a dear...

and just skip to the part

about Simba-

not that your childhood

wasn't fascinating.

OK, look, Simba's

the rightful king...

but after he disappeared...

Scar proclaimed

himself the king...

and formed an alliance

with the hyenas.

Poor Simba-

the treachery, the villainy...

the sheer

indescribable horror.

Blah, blah, blah.
