Scar : [bellowing] Sarabiiiii!
[echoes and reechoes; we soon see Sarabi walking through the pack of hyenas, trying to snap at her; Simba looks on as Sarabi approaches]
Sarabi : Yes, Scar?
Scar : Where is your hunting party? They're not doing their job.
Sarabi : Scar, there is no food. The herds have moved on.
Scar : No! You're just not looking hard enough.
Sarabi : It's over. There is nothing left. We have only one choice. We *must* leave Pride Rock.
Scar : We're not going anywhere!
Sarabi : Then you have sentenced us to death!
Scar : Then so be it!
Sarabi : You can't do that!
Scar : I'm the king! I can do whatever I want!
Sarabi : If you were half the king Mufasa was, you...
Scar : [knocks Sarabi unconscious] I'm *eleven* times the king Mufasa was!
[Lightning flashes and illuminates a snarling Simba]
Scar : Mufasa! No! You're dead!

Young Simba : [Nala's mother, Sarafina is giving Nala a bath] Hey, Nala.
Young Nala : Hi, Simba.
Young Simba : Come on, I just heard about this great place.
Young Nala : Simba, I'm kinda in the middle of a bath.
Sarabi : And it's time for yours.
[grabs Simba and starts licking him]
Young Simba : Mom! Mom, you're messing up my mane!
[Sarabi smiles]
Young Simba : Ok, ok. I'm clean. Can we go now?
Young Nala : So where are we going? It better not be anyplace dumb.
Young Simba : No, it's really cool.
Sarabi : So where is this really cool place?
Young Simba : Oh... around the waterhole.
Young Nala : The waterhole? What's so great about the waterhole?
Young Simba : [muttering] I'll *show* you when we *get* there.
Young Nala : Oh... Mom, can I go with Simba?
Sarafina - Nala's Mother : Hmm, what do you think Sarabi?
Sarabi : Well...
Young Simba , Young Nala : [with forced grins] Please!
Sarabi : It's alright with me.
Young Simba : Yeah!
Young Nala : All right!
Sarabi : As long as Zazu goes with you.
Young Simba : No, not Zazu!

Scar : Ah, so you haven't told them your little secret. Well, Simba, now's your chance to tell them. Tell them who is responsible for Mufasa's death.
Adult Simba : [pause] I am.
Sarabi : [whispering] It's not true. Tell me it's not true.
Adult Simba : It's true.
Scar : You see? He admits it! Murderer!
Adult Simba : No! It was an accident.
Scar : If it weren't for you Mufasa would still be alive. It's your fault he's dead! Do you deny it?
Adult Simba : No.
Scar : Then, you're guilty.
Adult Simba : No, I'm not a murderer!
-
Sarabi : Mufasa?
Adult Simba : No. It's me.
Sarabi : Simba? But how...?
Adult Simba : It doesn't matter. I'm home.
Scar : Simba? Simba! Well, it sure is a surprise to see you...
[turns to the hyenas]
Scar : ...*alive*!
-
Adult Simba : [sternly] Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip apart.
Scar : [nervously] Oh, Simba. You must understand. The pressures of ruling a kingdom...
Adult Simba : [interrupts] Are no longer yours. Step down, Scar.
Scar : Well, I would, naturally. However, there is one little problem. You see them?
[points up to the hyenas as they have their scary faces]
Scar : They think I'm king.
Nala : [enters the scene] Well, we don't. Simba's the rightful king.
Adult Simba : The choice is yours, Scar. Either step down or fight.
Scar : Oh, must it all end in violence? I'd hate to be responsible for the death of a family member. Wouldn't you agree, Simba?
Adult Simba : That's not gonna work, Scar. I've put it behind me.
Scar : But what about your faithful subjects? Have they put it behind them?
Nala : Simba, what is he talking about?
Scar : Ah, so you haven't told them your little secret. Well, Simba, now's your chance to tell them. Tell them who is responsible for Mufasa's death.
Adult Simba : I am.
Sarabi : [walks to Simba] It's not true. Tell me it's not true.
Adult Simba : It's true.
Scar : You see? He admits it! Murderer!
Adult Simba : No! it was an accident.
Scar : If it weren't for you, Mufasa would still be alive. It's your fault he's dead! Do you deny it?
Adult Simba : No.
Scar : Then you're guilty.
Adult Simba : No, I'm not a murderer!
Scar : [starts backing Simba] Oh, Simba, you're in trouble again, but this time, daddy isn't here to save you, and now, everyone knows why!
[Simba slips over the edge and is clinging to the ledge by his forepaws]
Nala : [shocked] Simba!
[lightning strikes below, igniting a fire]
Scar : [starts thinking] Now, this looks familiar. Hmm, where have I seen this before? Let me think. Oh, yes, I remember. This is just the way your father looked before he died.
[grabs Simba with his claws]
Scar : And here's my little secret.
[whispers in his ear]
Scar : I killed Mufasa.
Adult Simba : [flashes back of Mufasa falling in a stampede] No!
[lunges up and pins Scar on his back]
Adult Simba : Murderer!
Scar : No, Simba, please.
Adult Simba : Tell them the truth.
Scar : Truth? But truth is in the eye of the behold...
[Simba starts choking him]
Scar : All right. All right.
[quietly]
Scar : I did it.
Adult Simba : So, they can hear you.
Scar : I killed Mufasa!
