The Lion King Movie Quotes
Mufasa
Everything you see - exists together in a delicate balance. While others search for what they can take, a true king searches for what he can give.

Mufasa
Everything the light touches... is our kingdom. But a king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king.

Scar
[to 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.

Pumbaa
Oh no, it's a little lion!
Timon
That is not a lion.
Pumbaa
Well then, go check it out; what is it?
Timon
That is not a lion, it's a furry bird.
Pumbaa
It looks like a lion.
Timon
It's not a li--let me get a closer look, excuse me.
[huffs]
Timon
All right, let me see what we're dealing with here.
[alarmed]
Timon
It's a lion! Run for your life, Pumbaa!
Pumbaa
Wait, hey, Timon, wait, wait, hey, Timon, it's a little lion!
Pumbaa
Can we keep him, can we please keep him? Oh, oh, okay, I promise I'll walk him every day; if he makes a little mess, I'll clean it up!
Timon
You'll be his little mess; he's gonna eat you and then use my body as a toothpick.
Pumbaa
But one day when he's big and strong, he'll be on our side.
Timon
I got it: what if he's on our side? Hear me out: having a ferocious lion around might not be a bad idea.
Pumbaa
Well then, can we keep him?
Timon
Yes, of course we can keep him! My God, who's the brains of this operation?

Scar
This gorge is where all lions, come to find their roar.
Young Simba
All lions, even my Dad?
Scar
Even Mufasa came here when he was your age, refused to leave until his roar could be heard above the rim.
Young Simba
All the way up there?
Scar
That's when you know you've found it, with a little practice you'll never be called a cub again.
Young Simba
Watch this.
[does a small roar]
Scar
You'll get it Simba, just takes time, I'll check on you later.
Young Simba

Scar
You fools have stripped your land of every living thing. And yet, I sent two little cubs your way and they come back alive.
Kamari
I guess we'll have to eat you instead.
Scar
Why eat one meal when you could be feasting the rest of your lives.
Shenzi
What could you possibly offer us?
Scar
A place where you could fill your bellies. For everything the light touches is yours for the kill.
Shenzi
The Pride Lands are not yours to give. The king controls those hunting grounds.
Scar
That's why I'm going to kill him. Mufasa has always shown too much restraint when it comes to hunting. When I am king, the mighty will be free to take whatever they want. Because a hyena's belly is never full.
Shenzi
Mufasa's far too powerful to challenge.
Scar
Mufasa is yesterday's message A clapped out, distracted regime whose failings undoubtedly presage the need for a different dream.

Zazu
The king approaches! This is *not* a drill. His Majesty has requested an audience. Upon his entrance, you will rise and genuflect.
Scar
Zazu... you've made me lose my lunch.
Zazu
You will answer to Mufasa for missing the ceremony this morning.
Scar
I answer to no one.
Zazu
Scar? Scar! Scar, Scar, Scar, Scar, Scar, no! No, don't look at me like that.
Scar
Are you hungry, Zazu? Perhaps--we could have a bite TOGETHER!
[lunges at Zazu]
Zazu
You can't eat me. It is forbidden to eat a member of the king's court!
[Scar pins him to the ground]
Zazu
Ow! Please! Stop it!
Mufasa
Sarabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba.
Scar
Was that today? Must've slipped my mind. Of course, I meant no disrespect towards His Majesty or Sarabi. As you know, I have tremendous respect for the queen.
Zazu
As the king's brother, you should've been first in line.
Scar
I WAS first in line. Or don't you remember?
[rises up and walks out of the den]
Scar
That is, until the precious--prince arrived.
Mufasa
Don't turn your back on *me*, Scar.
Scar
Oh *no*, Mufasa; perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me.
Scar
I wouldn't dream of challenging you... again.
Zazu
A wise decision! You are no match for His Royalness.
Scar
Well, as far as brains go, I've got the lion's share, but when it comes to brute strength, I'm afraid my big brother will always rule.
Mufasa
Not *always*, Scar. One day, it will be my son who rules. Simba will be your king.
Scar
Then long live the king.
Zazu
Oh, come on. We both know he should've been expelled from the Pride Lands long ago.
Mufasa
He's my brother. Zazu. This is his home. As long as I am king, that will never change.

Azizi
Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
Kamari
Don't be sorry, just do it!
Shenzi
Now this is a meal I've waited my whole life. What an unexpected treat to meet the son of a king.
Kamari
Wait a second the king, as in you know who.
Azizi
Who rules you know where.
Shenzi
Mufasa does not rule me.
Young Simba
You cant do anything to me, because I'm the future king.
Shenzi
[chuckles]
he's telling me what to do, his father's strength flickering inside, I wonder how all that bravery will taste.
Zazu
[suddenly appears]
Let them go Shenzi. They made a mistake a horrible mistake, but if you do this, you will start a war with Mufasa.
Shenzi
Hyenas and Lions have been at war since the beginning of time. But Mufasa's bloodline WILL END HERE.

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.

Run... Run away, Scar. Run away, and never return.

An elephant graveyard.
Young Nala
Whoaaa. How far is it?
Young Simba
Not far. Just through the shadows. But don't worry, everyone's been there.
Young Nala
We've never been that far before. What if we get lost?
Young Simba
Relax, Nala. I was shown the entire kingdom this morning with my Dad. There's nothing to worry about.
Young Nala
Well there is one thing...
Zazu

We have an eminent threat! Something is approaching - oh, wait, scratch that. It's my own shadow.

I've tried it once.
Young Nala
We're never getting married, Zazu.
Zazu
A monarch who ignores tradition? With an attitude like that, I'm afraid you'll be a pretty pathetic king.
Young Simba
Well, I'm not letting anyone tell me where to go, what to do, and even who to marry. There will never be a king like me.

Simba
The choice is yours, Scar. Step down or fight.
Scar
Must this all end in violence? I'd hate to be responsible for the death of a family member. To feel the shame of knowing... I took the life of someone I love.
Simba
I put all that behind me.
Scar
But have they put it behind them? Do your faithful subjects know what you've done?
Nala
What is he talking about?
Scar
So you haven't told them your little secret? Well, Simba... now's your chance to confess. Tell them who's responsible for Mufasa's death.

It was me.

It's not true. Tell me it's not true.
Simba

Babysit? I'm gonna be the King of Pride Rock, my Dad showed me the whole kingdom said I'm going to rule it all.
Scar
Is that so?
Young 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. So your dad showed you the whole kingdom, did he show you the shadows beyond the northern borders?
Young Simba
No, he said I can't go there, but...
Scar
And he's absolutely... right. An Elephant Graveyard is no place for a young prince.
Young Simba
An Elephant Graveyard, whoa.
Scar
[feigning surprise]
Aah, I've said to much, well I'd supposed you'd of found out sooner or later, you being king and all.

You've been there?

We've all been there, it's no place for a cub, all those rotting bones, burning pools of oozing mud.

Chubby? Did he just call me chubby?
Timon
Uh-oh.
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.

Scar
Mufasa's death is a terrible tragedy, the greatest leader the pride has ever known, to lose a brother such... a... deep... personal... loss. And little Simba who had barely begun to live, a cub whose blood held our future, it's almost too much to endure. I only wish I had gotten to the gorge in time been there to save them. And so it is with a heavy heart... That I must... assume the throne. Mufasa and Simba are gone which means I... am your king. But I must admit I cannot bear this burden alone and I will need some help to ensure... the safety of the pride
[the hyenas congregate the pridelands]

Scar
Long ago, you chose Mufasa over me. But now there is a new king. So stop being so selfish.
Sarabi
You are the selfish one.
Scar
The other lions look to you. As long as you resist they will reject me. Take your place by my side, and we will feast together.
Sarabi
I will never be your Queen!
Scar
Then from now on... the lions will eat AFTER the hyenas. And they don't leave much behind.

They're fireflies. Fireflies that got stuck on that big bluish-black thing.

Oh, I guess that makes sense. I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away.
Timon
Oh, Pumbaa, why is everything always gas with you?

That's a good one! That's insane! That's insane!
Timon
Royal dead guys watching over us! Well, I hope they don't fall out of the sky!
Pumbaa
Hang on, your majesty! Don't let go!
Timon
Oh, that would be a mess.
Pumbaa
Oh, man!
Timon
I mean, Simba, think about it. Why would a bunch of kings be looking out for us? We're outcasts.
Pumbaa
Royal warthogs.
Timon
I can't!
Timon
I can't!
Pumbaa
I actually can't.
Timon
I can't.
Pumbaa
No, you can. I can't.
[Timon laughs again]
Simba
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's stupid I'm going to go get some grubs or something
[looking sad, Simba gets up and leaves]
Timon
What did you say to him?
Pumbaa
I don't know.
Timon
As you were saying it, I thought, "This won't end well" you just start laughing.
Pumbaa
You laughed too.
Timon
I did not. I would never.
Pumbaa
Man, I blew it.

Timon
Uh, Simba, How can I say this? He's prey.
Pumbaa
Yeah
Timon
And he is never going to want to frolic with a carnivore.
Pumbaa
No. You two will never frolic.
Simba
Why not?
Timon
You see in nature, there's a delicate balance.
Simba
Oh yeah. The circle of life. I know that.
Pumbaa
No.
Timon
No, no, no. I don't know where you're getting "circle" from
Pumbaa
No, yeah. There's no circle of life.
Timon
No, it's no Circle.
Pumbaa
No, not at all.
Timon
In fact, it's the opposite.
Pumbaa
Yeah.
Timon
It's a line.
Pumbaa
Yeah.
Timon
It's a meaningless line of indifference.
Pumbaa
And we're all just running towards the end of that line. Then one day we'll reach the end and that'll be it. That's it. Line over.
Timon
Nothing.
Pumbaa
Nada. And you can really just kind of Do Your own thing and fend for yourself, because you're line doesn't affect anyone else's line.
Timon
You're alive and then you're not
[eats an insect]
Timon
like this guy. Mmm.
Simba
You sure it's not a circle? that we're all connected?
Pumbaa
A circle would mean we're all this. That would mean what I do affects him. affects that thing affects that thing.
Timon
Yeah. No, that's not how it goes.
Pumbaa
Which would make doing whatever we wanted not that cool.
Timon
Let me simplify this for you. Life is meaningless.
Pumbaa
Yes. that's why you just got to look out for yourself. That's why you do you, Simba.
Timon
Yes Simba, for the first time, we're enrusting you to make a plan for us today
Pumbaa
This is important, think about all you've been taught.
Timon
What do you want to do?
Simba
Absolutely nothing.
Pumbaa
Exactly!
Timon
Woo-hoo!
Pumbaa
He gets it!

Simba
Who are you?
Rafiki
I know exactly who I am. The question is, who are you?
Simba
I'm nobody. So leave me alone, alright?
Rafiki
Everybody is somebody. Even a nobody.
Simba
Yeah, I think you're confused.
Rafiki
I am confused? You don't even know who you are.
Simba
Oh? And I suppose you do?
Rafiki
I held the son of Mufasa.
Simba
You knew my father?
Rafiki
Correction, I know you're father.
Simba
He died a long time ago.
Rafiki
He's alive. And I can take you to him. Follow me. I will show you! Your father is waiting.
[Simba just sees his reflection in the water]
Rafiki
Do you see him?
Simba
I don't see anything.
Rafiki
Look closer.
[Simba looks closer at his reflection and sees his father]
Rafiki
You see, he lives in you.

You fools have stripped your land of every living thing, and yet I send two little cubs your way, why eat one meal when you can be feasting the rest of your lives, a place where you can fill your bellies

Scar
Where everything the light touches is yours.

Kamari

Azizi

Azizi
Ok, ok. Not to take anything away from you. You were great. But he is...
Kamari
See now I know your doing this on purpose.
Azizi
And brave too, tough, good energy
Kamari
Now your just being spiteful
Azizi
Good posture.
Kamari
[finally fed up]
Next time I see Mufasa I'm going to teach him a lesson he will never forget.
Kamari
Mufasa?
Scar
You fools have stripped your land of every living thing, and yet I send two little cubs your way and they come back alive.
Kamari
I guess we'll have to eat you instead.
Scar
Why eat one meal when you can be feasting the rest of your lives.
Shenzi
What could you... possibly offer us?
Scar
A place where you can fill your bellies, for everything the light touches is yours for the kill
Shenzi
The Pridelands are not yours to keep, the king controls those hunting grounds.

Scar
Simba! What have you done?
Young Simba
It was a stampede. He tried to save me. It was an accident. I didn't mean for it to...
Scar
Of course you didn't. No one ever means for these things to happen. But the king is dead... and if it weren't for you... he'd still be alive. Your father had such hopes for you... gave you so many chances. And this is how you repay him.
Young Simba
I didn't know. I didn't know.
Scar
Oh, what will your mother think? A son who causes his father's death. A boy who kills a king.
Young Simba
What am I gonna do?
Scar
Run. Run away, Simba. Run away and never return.

Go away, Zazu. I'm going to find help.

Nala
It's amazing. But there's... there's something I don't understand, if you been alive all this time why haven't you come home? We really needed you.
Simba
There fine... alright, nobody needs me.
Nala
Your the king.
Simba
Nala, Scar is the king.
Nala
Simba he's decimated the pridelands, there's no food, no water.
Simba
There's nothing I can do.
Nala
What about your mother? This is your responsibility. You need to challenge Scar.
Simba
I can't go back, ever.
Nala
Why? Because of what happened at the gorge? Scar told us that...
Simba
You wouldn't understand, none of it matters okay, Hakuna Matata.
Simba
It's something, I learned out here okay. You see sometimes bad things happen and there's nothing you can do about it, so why worry?
Nala
Why worry? What happened to you? You're not the Simba I remember.
Simba
And I never will be, are you satisfied?
Nala
No, I'm disappointed.
Simba
You know, now you're starting to sound like my father.
Nala
Good, I'm glad one of us does.

I came here looking for help, I guess I made a mistake. Goodbye Simba.

We're the guys who saved your life. Risked everything. Fought off angry vultures.
Pumbaa
Hordes of them, flocks. I'm Pumbaa. This is Timon.
Timon
Did I mention that we've saved your life?
Young Simba
It doesn't matter anyway.
[heads off quietly back out towards the desert and sits down]
Pumbaa
Whoa. How bleak is that? "Doesn't even matter"?
Pumbaa
We can help him, we're in a position to help him
Timon
Uhhhh.
[to Simba]
Timon
So? How are you in as few words as possible?
Young Simba
I did something terrible. But I don't wanna talk about it.
Pumbaa
Look, kid. We all make mistakes. There must be something we can do, right?
Young Simba
Not unless you can change the past.
Timon
Well, you know, that's a lot to ask. If I'm being honest...
Pumbaa
That's a biggie.
Timon
...you can't change the past that's already happened. But you know what you can change? The future! That's our specialty...
Young Simba
How can you change something that hasn't happened?
Timon
Well, to change the future, you gotta put your past behind you.
Pumbaa
Way behind.
Timon
Look, kid. Bad things happen and you can't do anything about it, right?
Young Simba
Right.
Timon
WRONG! When the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world!
Pumbaa
And only embrace what's next.
Timon
And turn the "What?" into "So, what!"
Young Simba
Well, that's not what I was taught.
Timon
Then maybe you need a new lesson. Repeat after me, kid. Hakuna Matata!
Young Simba
[confused]
What?
Pumbaa
Hakuna Matata!
Timon
Hakuna Matata.
Pumbaa
Hakuna... most people get a bigger reaction when we say it! Ha-ku-na Ma-ta-ta. It means "no worries." One, and a...
Pumbaa
I wanna count!
Timon
Why don't we count together?
Pumbaa
Okay. That's a good idea.
Timon
All right.

Welcome to our humble home.
Young Simba
You live here?
Timon
Well, we live wherever we want.
Pumbaa
We do as we please.
Young Simba
It's beautiful!
Pumbaa
That's really nice, huh?
Timon
Everyone, this is Simba!
Guinea Fowl
That, my friend, is a lion!
Bush Baby
What 'bout food? Have you thought 'bout feeding that thing?
Young Simba
Yeah, I'm starved. I could eat a whole zebra.
[to Simba]
Timon
Uh, no-no-no, kid. Uh, we're fresh out of zebra.
Young Simba
Any antelope?
Impala
Uh-oh.
Timon
No, listen, kid. If you want to live with us, you have to eat like us.
Guinea Fowl
And most importantly: not eat us
Timon
This looks like a good spot to rustle up some grub.
[Stopping in front of a log, Pumbaa forces it up with his snout, revealing many insects]
Young Simba
[disgusted]
Ewww. What's that?
Elephant Shrew
This one's got the nuttiness.
Timon
Mmmm... now that's what I call slimy.
Timon
Mmmm! Extra crunchy.
Pumbaa
They're local.
Timon
Oh, are they?
Pumbaa
They're from right there.
Timon
I'm tellin' ya, kid, this is the great life. No rules. No responsibilities.
[notices a nearby caterpillar]
Timon
Oooh! The little cream-filled kind! I love it!
Pumbaa
Those are good. Those are the best.

Oh, well. Hakuna Matata.

You could have been killed. And what's worse, you put Nala in danger. Do you understand what's at stake? You jeopardized the future of our pride.
Young Simba
[holding back tears]
I just wanted to show you I could do it. That I could be brave like you.
Mufasa
I'm only brave when I have to be and leave no other choice.
Young Simba
But you're not scared of anything.
Mufasa
I was today.
Young Simba
[disbelieving]
You were?
Mufasa
Yes... I thought I might lose you.
Young Simba
I guess even kings get scared, huh?
Mufasa
More than you could ever know.
Young Simba
But guess what?
Mufasa
What?
Young Simba
I think those hyenas were even scareder.
Mufasa
'cause nobody messes with your dad. Come here.
[They nuzzle their heads, and tussle playfully for a brief while]
Young Simba
Dad?
Mufasa
Huh?
Young Simba
We're pals, right?
Young Simba
And we'll always be together, right?
Mufasa
Simba, let me tell you something my father told me... Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars.
Young Simba
[awed]
Really?
Mufasa
Yes... So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be up there to guide you... and so will I.
Young Simba
But I can't see them, Dad.
Mufasa
Keep looking, son. Keep looking.

Nala
Simba, we need to leave. Scar has taken over with the hyenas. You have to take your place as king.
Timon
King? Simba?
Pumbaa
We kneel before you as humble servants.

Simba
Pumbaa, relax. She's wrong.
Timon
Lady, you've got your lions crossed
Pumbaa
Nice.
Nala
