Mufasa: [about Scar] What am I going to do with him?
Zazu: Come on. We both know he should've been expelled from the Pride Lands long ago.
Mufasa: He is my brother, Zazu. This is his home. As long as I am king, that'll never change.
Zazu: Well, there is one in every family, sire. I had a cousin who thought he was a woodpecker. He slammed his head into trees and our beaks aren't built for it, he was concussed regularly. Oh, you've gone. Uh, sire, coming back!

Mufasa: Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures; from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.
Simba: But, Dad, don't we eat the antelope?
Mufasa: Yes, Simba, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass. And the antelope eat the grass. And so, we are all connected in the great Circle of Life.

Scar: If you wish to kill something, you might want to stay downwind.
Simba: I know how to hunt, Uncle Scar.
Scar: Then let's hope we're never attacked by a beetle. Go back to your den, Simba. I don't babysit.
Simba: Babysit? I'm gonna king of Pride Rock. My dad showed me the whole kingdom. Said I'm gonna rule it all.
Scar: Is that so?
Simba: Think about it. When I'm king, I'll have to give you orders. Tell you what to do. How weird is that?
Scar: You've no idea.

Scar: So you haven't told them your little secret? Well, Simba, now is your chance to confess. Tell them who is responsible for Mufasa's death.
Simba: ... It was me.
Sarabi: It's not true. Tell me it's not true.
Simba: It's true, I'm sorry.
Scar: He admits it. Murderer!
Simba: No, it was an accident.
Scar: If it weren't for you, the king would be alive. It's your fault he's dead! Do you deny it?
Simba: I'm not a murderer.
Scar: We should believe a son who takes the life of a father? We should believe a son who takes the life of a king? A son who abandons his mother?
Simba: No, I'm--
Scar: You're what? Say it! Are you the king?
Simba: No, no. I'm--
Scar: Are you the king?!
Simba: [falls into despair all over again] No, I'm...
Scar: You're what?! Say it!
Simba: [whimpering near the ledge] I'm nothing.
Scar: Then bow to your king!
[Simba falls and hangs over the ledge of Pride Rock]
Nala: SIMBA!
[Lightning strikes below, igniting a fire]
Scar: Now, this looks familiar. Where have I seen this before? ...Oh, yes. I remember! This is the way Mufasa looked before he died. I looked down, and saw the fear in his eyes. [claws Simba's paws] And here's my little secret. [whispers into Simba's ear] I killed Mufasa.
[In shock, Simba has a flashback in slow motion and realizes that it was Scar who killed Mufasa at the gorge; Simba's eyes wide open and his shock turns into fury as he bites Scar's mane and gets back up, resuming the confrontation]
Simba: My father! Your own brother! How could you?!
Scar: [to the hyenas and lionesses] First he kills Mufasa, and now he wants to kill me?!
Simba: You killed him! Tell them the truth!
Scar: Don't believe his lies!
Sarabi: Scar, you told us you didn't get to the gorge in time.
Scar: That's true.
Sarabi: Then how did you see the look in Mufasa's eyes?!
[Scar growls, realizing he's been exposed]
Simba: Murderer!
Scar: [to his hyenas] Kill them all!
Simba: ... It was me.
Sarabi: It's not true. Tell me it's not true.

Simba: It's over, Scar!
Scar: Have mercy, I beg you.
Simba: Mercy? After what you did?!
Scar: It was the hyenas! Those revolting scavengers made me do it! I was planning on killing them all.
[Shenzi, Kamari, and Azizi overhear and growl at Scar's betrayal]
Simba: You fooled the hyenas! Just like you fooled me!
Scar: Simba, you wouldn't kill your only uncle.
Simba: No, Scar. I'm not like you.
Scar: Oh, Simba. You are truly noble, and I will make it up to you. Just tell me how I can prove myself. Tell me what you want me to do.
Simba: Run. Run away, Scar. Run away, and never return!

Timon: Pumbaa, I think we lost them.
Pumbaa: That was terrifying. [Shenzi's clan of hyenas peer close, emerging behind them] Do you hear a low growl?
Hyena: Looks like we'll be having pig for dinner, plump and chubby.
Pumbaa: [offended] "Chubby"? Did he just call me "chubby"?
Timon: Uh-oh. [runs behind a rock]
Pumbaa: It sounded a lot like he just said "chubby." Which would be a mistake, because I will not be made to feel ashamed of who I am!
Timon: Oh, boy.
Pumbaa: I may run from hyenas, but I will always fight a bully! [charges and drives the hyenas off]
Timon: Do you feel better, Pumbaa?
Pumbaa: I do.
Timon: You got that out of your system?
Pumbaa: I did.

Simba: Go away.

Simba: What question? Who are you?
Rafiki: I know exactly who I am. The question is: who are you?
Simba: I'm nobody. So leave me alone. All right?

Timon: [about the hyenas] What's your plan for getting us past the slobbering guards?
Simba: Live bait. [he, Nala, Zazu, and Timon look at Pumbaa]
Pumbaa: That's a great idea. Those guys could never resist fresh meat! So all we need to do is find something that's like big, plump, and juicy... maybe like a gnu?
[They all continue to stare blankly at Pumbaa]
Pumbaa: Why's everyone looking at me?

[first lines; to the mouse] Life's not fair, is it, my little friend? While some are born to feast, others spend their lives in the dark, begging for scraps. The way I see it, you and I are exactly the same... we both want to find a way out.
