[Simba and Kovu roar at each other]
Nala: [surprised at his ferocity] Simba?
Rafiki: Hey! You! How dare you save the King's daughter?

Kiara: Father, please, reconsider!
Simba: You will not go anywhere without an escort from now on.
Kiara: No, that's not--
Simba: He used you to get to me!
Kiara: No! He loves me, for me!
Simba: Because you are my daughter! You will not leave Pride Rock. You will stay where I can keep an eye on you, away from him.

Nuka: [annoyed] Kovu, Kovu, Kovu. Scar wasn't even his father. He just took him in. (He took us all in.) [to Vitani, who is biting on a root] Oh, hey, Vitani, where's little termite Kovu, our "chosen one"? [touches the root with a claw; it snaps, and Vitani tumbles backward; Nuka guffaws]
Cub Vitani: Nuka! Where's Kovu? Did you leave him out there on his own again?
Nuka: Hey, it's every lion for himself out here. [scratching himself] That little termite's gotta learn to be on his own.
Cub Vitani: Mother's gonna be mad. She told you to watch him!
Nuka: [continuing to scratch his mangy back] Oh, who cares? I should've been the chosen one! I'm the oldest, I'm the strongest, I'm the smartest... Oh, these termites! [starts biting every place he can find on his body, and rolls around on the ground; Vitani watches, smirking] I could be a leader, if she'd just give me a chance!
Cub Vitani: [scoffs] Yeah, right. Why don't ya tell that to her?
Nuka: Yeah? Don't think I won't!
Cub Vitani: Oh, yeah? [chuckles] Here's your chance.

Simba: [angrily] Why have you come back?
Kovu: Simba, I had nothing to do with--
Simba: You don't belong here.
Kovu: [desperately] Please. I ask your forgiveness.
Kiara: [begging] Daddy, please! Listen to him!
Simba: [sternly to Kiara] Silence! [turns back to Kovu] When you first came here, you asked for judgment, and I pass it now.
Animals: Judgement! We don't want you! Put him on trial! Judgement Day is here! Yes! Judgement! Judgement! Your day is--
Simba: Exile!
Kiara: [All the animals roar in approval] No! No! Kovu!

Simba: One day I won't be here, and I need you to carry on in my place. You are part of the great--
Cub Kiara: Circle of Life, I know.
Simba: Exactly. And you need to be careful. As future Queen--
Cub Kiara: But what if I don't wanna be Queen? It's no fun.
Simba: That's like saying you don't want to be a lion. It's in your blood... as I am. We are part of each other.

Simba: You know the penalty for returning to the Pride Lands.
Zira: But the child does not! However... if you need your pound of flesh, here. [nudges a terrified Kovu over to Simba, who glares at him. Kovu shivers in fright]
Simba: Take him and get out. We're finished here. [turns around and picks Kiara up with his mouth as he's getting ready to leave]
Zira: Oh, no, Simba, we have barely begun. [looks down at Kiara and chuckles wickedly, then turns and picks up Kovu]

[Just as Simba and Zira are about to fight, Kiara and Kovu leap in between them]
Simba: Kiara?
Zira: Kovu! [Kovu doesn't back down] Move.
Simba: Stand aside.
Adult Kiara: Daddy, this has to stop.
Zira: You're even weaker than I thought. Get out of the way!
Adult Kovu: You'll never hurt Kiara, or Simba! Not while I'm here.
Zira: [scoffs] Ha!
Simba: Stay out of this.
Adult Kiara: A wise king once told me, "We are one." I didn't understand him then. [smiles] Now I do.
Simba: But-- they--
Adult Kiara: Them...us. Look at them...they are us. What differences do you see? (Aren't we all part of the Circle of Life?)
[As both prides stand stunned in realization, the rain stops and the clouds clear; Simba smiles and nuzzles Kiara]
Zira: Vitani! Now!
Adult Vitani: No, Mother! [faces Kiara then back to Zira] Kiara's right. [walks to join Simba's pride] Enough.
Zira: If you will not fight... then you will die as well. [the other Outsiders, disgusted by Zira's words, also go to stand with Simba, leaving Zira standing alone] Wh-- wha-- where are you going?! Get back here!
Simba: Let it go, Zira. It's time to put the past behind us.
Zira: [now alone] I'll never let it go! This is for you, Scar!
[Zira snarls and leaps at Simba, but Kiara pushes her away, and both start rolling down towards the river]

[Kiara and Kovu are looking at constellations in the night sky]
Adult Kovu: See that? See that? Look at that! It's really pretty.
Adult Kiara: What? Oh yeah! Um-- look, there's one that looks like a baby rabbit. See the fluffy tail?
Adult Kovu: Yeah... hey! There's one that looks like two lions killing each other for a scrap of meat. [Kiara grimaces] Ohh, I've never done this before.
Adult Kiara: Really? My father and I used to do this all the time. He says all the great Kings of the past are up there.
Adult Kovu: Do you think Scar is up there? [gets up and moves off] No one here thinks he's very great... do they?
Adult Kiara: My father said there was a darkness in Scar that he couldn't escape.
Adult Kovu: Maybe there's a darkness in me, too.
[Kiara puts her paw on Kovu's, and as they nuzzle, Simba is watching on a hill from distances away]
Simba: [calling out to Mufasa] Father... I am lost. Kovu is one of them. Scar's heir. How can I accept him?
Nala: Simba?
Simba: I was seeking counsel from the great kings.
Nala: Did they help?
Simba: [sighs] Silent as stars. My father would never--
Nala: Oh, Simba. You want so much to walk the path expected of you. Perhaps Kovu does not.
Simba: [surprised] What? How do you know what--
Nala: I can see them down there just as easily as you can. Get to know them and see. [she nuzzles under Simba's head]

[Simba has been telling Kovu about Scar]
Simba: Scar couldn't let go of his hate, and in the end, it destroyed him.
Adult Kovu: [deeply shocked] I've never heard the story of Scar that way. He truly was a killer.
Simba: [glances at the burnt plains around them] Fire is a killer. Sometimes, what's left behind can grow better than the generation before... [unearths a small plant from the dust] ...if given the chance.
