Simba: Hey, Nala.
Nala: Hi, Simba.
Simba: Come on. I just heard about this great place.
Nala: Simba! I'm kind of in the middle of a bath.
Sarabi: And it's time for yours.
Simba: Mom! ...Mom. You're messing up my mane.
Simba: Okay, okay, I'm clean. Can we go now?
Nala: So where are we going? It better not be anyplace dumb.
Simba: No. It's really cool.
Sarabi: So where is this "really cool" place?
Simba: Oh. Uh... around the water hole.
Nala: The water hole? What's so great about the water hole?
Simba: I'll SHOW you when we GET there.
Nala: Oh. Uh... Mom, can I go with Simba?
Sarafina: Hmm... What do you think, Sarabi?
Sarabi: Well...
Nala and Simba: Pleeeease?
Sarabi: It's all right with me...
Nala: All right!
Simba: Yeah!
Sarabi: ...As long as Zazu goes with you.
Simba: No. Not Zazu.
Zazu: Step lively. The sooner we get to the water hole, the sooner we can leave.
Nala: So where we really going?
Simba: An elephant graveyard.
Nala: Wow!
Simba: Shhh! Zazu.
Nala: Right. So how are we gonna ditch the dodo?
Simba: Oh, I know how we can--
Zazu: Oh, just look at you two. Little seeds of romance blossoming in the savannah. Your parents will be thrilled... what with your being betrothed and all.
Simba: Be-what?
Zazu: Betrothed. Intended. Affianced.
Nala: Meaning...?
Zazu: One day, you two are going to be married!
Simba: Yuck!
Nala: Ewww.
Simba: I can't marry her. She's my friend.
Nala: Yeah. It'd be too weird.
Zazu: Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but you two turtle-doves have no choice. It's a tradition...
Zazu: ...going back generations.
Simba: Well, when I'm king, that'll be the first thing to go.
Zazu: Not so long as I'm around.
Simba: Well, in that case, you're fired.
Zazu: Hmmm... Nice try, but only the king can do that.
Nala: Well, he's the future king.
Simba: Yeah. So you have to do what I tell you.
Zazu: Not yet I don't. And with an attitude like that, I'm afraid you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king indeed.
Simba: Hmph. Not the way I see it. |
