Quotes 

  • Young Simba : What's a motto?

    Timon : Nothing, what's a motto-with-you?

    Pumbaa : Nice!

    Timon : Boom!

  • Timon : If you want to live with us, you have to eat like us

    [Timon and Pumbaa are eating grubs] 

    Timon : Mmmm, extra crunchy.

    Pumbaa : They're local.

    Timon : Oh, are they?

    Pumbaa : They're from right there.

  • Pumbaa : I missed 'em, I'm gonna get one of those vultures one day; I'm gonna get one!

    Timon : I don't know why it's so important to you.

    Pumbaa : I just feel like it would make me feel better.

    [gasps] 

    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!

    Timon : [hiding behind rock]  It gets bigger.

    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?

    Pumbaa : [singing]  We're gonna name him Fred!

  • Pumbaa : [as he and Timon catch up with Simba and Nala, about to reclaim Pride Rock from Scar]  We're here!

    Timon : Oh, everyone calm down. We're here.

    Pumbaa : The backup has arrived!

  • Timon : [about the hyenas]  What's your plan for getting us past the slobbering guards?

    Pumbaa : All we need to do is find something that's like big and juicy...

    [Simba, Nala, and Zazu stare at him] 

    Pumbaa : Why is everybody looking at me?

  • Pumbaa : [the hyenas are body shaming Pumbaa causing him to react]  I may run from hyenas, but I do not run from a bully!

  • Pumbaa : How bleak is that?

    Timon : Now his problems are my problems.

  • Timon : King... Simba?

    Pumbaa : We kneel before you as loyal servants.

  • Young Simba : You live here?

    Timon : Well, we live wherever we want.

    Pumbaa : We do as we please.

  • Simba : [singing Hakuna Matata]  One more time.

    Pumbaa : I think we got this one.

    Simba : We're just getting into the groove.

    Timon : Let's leave a morning roll.

  • Simba : [Simba belches]  must be the termites.

    Pumbaa : Or the crickets.

  • Timon : Pumbaa I think we lost them.

    Pumbaa : That was terrifying.

    Timon : Do you hear a low growl.

    Hyena : Looks like we'll be having pig for dinner. Plump and chubby.

    Pumbaa : 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.

    Pumbaa : I may run from hyenas... but I will always fight a bully

    Timon : [rubbing Pumbaa's head]  You feel better Pumbaa?

    Pumbaa : I do.

    Timon : You got that out of your system?

    Pumbaa : I did.

  • Timon : [about the hyenas]  what's your plan for getting us past the slobbering guards?

    Simba : Live bait.

    [He, Nala and Zazu 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 him] 

    Pumbaa : why's everyone looking at me?

    Timon : [Shenzi's clan are paying attention to Timon and Pumbaa who is set up like a roast pig]  Ma chère, mademoiselle. It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we proudly present your dinner! Be... our - GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

    [they flew before the clan of hunger mad hyenas] 

  • Pumbaa : [referring to the stars]  Hey, Timon. Do you ever look up there and wonder what those sparkly dots are?

    Timon : Oh, Pumbaa. I don't wonder. I know.

    Pumbaa : Really? What are they?

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

    Pumbaa : 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?

    Pumbaa : I know.

    Timon : What do you think, Simba?

    Pumbaa : Yeah.

    Simba : Oh, I don't know. But somebody once told me, the great kings of the past are up there. And they're all watching over us.

    [Timon and Pumbaa start laughing] 

    Pumbaa : 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.

  • Simba : [referring to the impala running away from him]  What's up with that guy?

    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!

  • Pumbaa : You thought he was dead? I thought I was dead!

  • Pumbaa : [singing]  And, oh, the shame!

    Timon : Yes, he was ashamed!

    Pumbaa : I thought of changin' my name!

    Timon : I mean, to what? Brad?

    Pumbaa : And I got downhearted! Every time that I... far... ted?

    [to Timon] 

    Pumbaa : Are you gonna stop me!

    Timon : No, I'm not! You disgust me!

  • Young Simba : [wakes up]  Who are you?

    Timon : Um...

    Pumbaa : Uhhhh...

    Timon : 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"?

    Timon : [sighs]  Like I don't have enough that I'm dealing with. His problems are my problems.

    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...

    Timon : [interrupting]  Okay. I do the counting.

    Pumbaa : I wanna count!

    Timon : Why don't we count together?

    Pumbaa : Okay. That's a good idea.

    Timon : All right.

  • Timon : [Timon and Pumbaa reveal Simba a gorgeous rift-jungle panorama: waterfalls, woods, distant mountains, lush lakes and rivers]  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.

    Timon : [under his breath]  Oh, here we go.

    [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.

    Pumbaa : [slurps up dozen of the bugs]  Slimy, yet satisfying.

    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.

    Timon : [offers the caterpillar to Simba]  Well, kid?

    Young Simba : Oh, well. Hakuna Matata.

    [gulps up the caterpillar, then swallows it indisposed, he yet looks more cheerful] 

    Young Simba : Slimy, yet satisfying

    Timon : [excited]  That's it!

  • Pumbaa : [Timon and Pumbaa meet Zazu for the first time]  Hey, hey, look. A bird!

    Simba : Timon. Pumbaa. This is Zazu.

    Timon : Oh, wow... it's a puppet.

    Zazu : Charming. Simba, we are with you until the end.

    Pumbaa : We are at your service, my liege.

    Simba : Follow me.

  • Simba : Timon, Pumbaa, I want you to meet my best friend, Nala.

    Timon : Best friend? Well, that hurts.

    Simba : Nala, you're going to love it here. This place is amazing. It's everything you could ever want.

    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.

    [They both laugh] 

    Simba : Pumbaa, relax. She's wrong.

    Timon : Lady, you've got your lions crossed

    Pumbaa : Nice.

    Nala : Seeing you again, you don't know what this will mean everyone. What this means to me. You have to come home

    Simba : This is my home. Please stay. This place is incredible. I know you'll love it.

    Nala : I can't.

  • Timon : [as Simba burps]  Oh.

    Pumbaa : Hello!

    [Timon and Pumbaa laugh] 

    Timon : Nice one, Simba.

    Simba : Oh, thanks. Must've been the termites.

    Pumbaa : [farts]  Or the crickets.

    Timon : And you wonder why I prefer to sleep underground.
