Quotes 

• Simba : [attacks Scar after Scar admitted in to killing Mufasa]  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 : [outraged]  Then how did you see the look in Mufasa's eyes?

  [Scar growls] 

  Simba : MURDERER!

  Scar : KILL THEM ALL!

• Nala : We have to do something.

  Sarabi : Nala, Scar is the king.

  Nala : But you are our queen. We should leave before it's too late.

  Sarabi : We must stay together and protect the Pride Lands. This is our home. We must never abandon it.

  Nala : This isn't the home I remember.

  Sarabi : Our time will come Nala. Be patient.

  Shenzi : Sarabi, the king wishes to see you.

  Nala : Don't go.

  Sarabi : I am not afraid of him.

• Scar : Simba... I'm so happy to see you

  [Angrily glares at the hyenas behind him] 

  Scar : Alive.

  Simba : [angry]  Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart.

  Scar : I can give you more than one. You see... they think I'm king.

  Nala : Well, we don't. Your reign is over, Scar. Simba is the rightful king! If you wanna get him, you have to get through us. Are you with me, lions?

  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.

  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, 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?

• Sarabi : A king's true power is his compassion.

• Sarafina : Nala come here, sit with us.

  Nala : [Zazu arrives]  Zazu, where have you been?

  Zazu : I'm sorry Nala, I came as soon as I could.

  [the sounds a hyena is heard] 

  Sarabi : The morning report, Zazu.

  Zazu : Your Majesty, the Pride Lands are in imminent danger. The hyenas are chasing off the last of the herds

  Azizi : The birds back.

  Kamari : Get him!

  [Kamari and Azizi try to chase off Zazu] 

  Kamari : Don't come here again unless you want to be eaten.

• Scar : Sarabi why put yourself through this, all you have to do is be my queen. Your suffering from what a memory of a life you once knew, a king you once loved. I tried to make you understand what a true king can be.

  Sarabi : Scar, a true kings power is his compassion.

  Scar : [angered]  I AM TEN TIMES THE KING, MUFASA WAS!

  Sarabi : You are nothing compared to Mufasa.

  [Scar attacks Sarabi] 

  Scar : [notices a roaring Simba]  Mufasa, that can't be.

  Simba : Get away from my mother!

• Scar : [eating gazelle]  Won't you join me, Sarabi? There's plenty to go around.

  Sarabi : You're overhunting, Scar.

  Scar : I've simply perfected the kill. With the help of my army.

  Sarabi : You're killing everything.

  Scar : Don't you see? There is nobody to challenge me. We can finally take whatever we want.

  Sarabi : [confused]  We?

  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.

  [the hyenas promptly surround and eat the gazelle]
