The Lion King quotes

View Quote [Simba escapes the hyenas through a thicket of thorny bushes. Banzai has fallen in them, and has thorns in his rear.]
Shenzi: [watching Simba] Hey, there he goes, there he goes!
Banzai: [picking thorns with teeth] So go get him!
Shenzi: There ain't no way I'm goin' in there! What,you want me to come out looking like you, Cactus-Butt?!

View Quote Pumbaa: (singing) And, oh, the shame!
Timon: He was ashamed!
Pumbaa: Thoughta changin' my name!
Timon: Oh, what's in a name?
Pumbaa: And I got downhearted...
Timon: How did you feel?
Pumbaa: ...every time that I--
Timon: Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
Pumbaa: Oh... sorry.

View Quote Banzai: (to Scar) We got a bone to pick with you!
Shenzi: [to Banzai] I'll handle this. (to Scar) Scar, there's no food and no water--
Banzai: Yeah, it's dinner time, and we ain't got no stinkin' entrees!
Scar: [exasperated] It's the lionesses' job to do the hunting...
Banzai: But they won't go hunt.
Scar: Oh... eat Zazu.
Zazu: Oh, you wouldn't want me! I'd be so tough and gamey and... eww...
Scar: Oh, Zazu, don't be ridiculous. All you need is a little garnish.
Banzai: (aside, to Shenzi) I thought things were bad under Mufasa.
Scar: (suddenly angry) What did you say?!
Banzai: I said Muf... (Shenzi nudges him) I said, uh... "Qu? pasa?"
Scar: Good. Now get out!
Banzai: Yeah but, we're still hungry.
Scar: (yelling) Out!
(The hyenas quickly flee the cave)

View Quote (Simba burps off-screen)
Timon: Whoa! Nice one, Simba.
Simba: Thanks. Man, I'm stuffed.
Pumbaa: Me too. I ate like a pig!
Simba: Pumbaa, you are a pig.
Pumbaa: Oh. Right. (all three sigh loudly) Timon, ever wonder what those sparkly dots are up there?
Timon: Pumbaa, I don't wonder; I know.
Pumbaa: Oh. What are they?
Timon: They're fireflies. Fireflies that, uh... got stuck up in that big bluish-black thing.
Pumbaa: Oh, gee. I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away.
Timon: Pumbaa, with you, everything's gas.

View Quote Simba: Nala, this is Pumbaa. Pumbaa, Nala.
Pumbaa: Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Nala: The pleasure's all mine.
Timon: How do you do?... Whoa! Whoa. Time out; lemme get this straight. You know her. She knows you. But she wants to eat him. And everybody's... okay with this? Did I miss something?!

View Quote Timon: (watching Simba and Nala walk away together, of which he disapproves) I tell you, Pumbaa, this stinks.
Pumbaa: Oh. Sorry.
Timon: Not you. Them!

View Quote Rafiki: Shh. It's a secret. (leans towards Simba) Asante sana, squash banana, we we nugu mi mi apana!
Simba: Enough, already! What does that mean anyway?
Rafiki: It means you're a baboon. And I'm not! (chuckles)

View Quote (Simba and the others are blocked by a huge pack of hyenas)
Timon: Hyenas... I hate hyenas... (to Simba) So what's your plan on slipping past those guys?
Simba: Live bait.
Timon: Good idea. (realises) Hey!
Simba: Come on, Timon. You guys have to create a diversion.
Timon: What do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hula?!
(Drumbeats)
Timon: Luau! (singing) If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat, eat my buddy Pumbaa here because he is a treat! Come on down and dine on this tasty swine, all you have to do is get in line! Are ya achin'...
Pumbaa: Yep, yep, yep!
Timon: ...for some bacon?
Pumbaa: Yep, yep, yep!
Timon: He's a big pig!
Pumbaa: Yep yep!
Timon: You could be a big pig too! Oy!
(Timon and Pumbaa scream and run off, chased by the hyenas)

View Quote Scar: Why, Simba! I'm a little surprised to see you... (threatening glance at the hyenas) alive.
Simba: Give me one reason why I shouldn't rip you apart.
Scar: Simba, you must understand. The pressures of ruling a kingdom--
Simba: --are no longer yours. Step down, Scar.
Scar: Oh, of course, I would, naturally. But there's one little problem. You see them? (indicates the large group of hyenas) They think I'm king.
Nala: (leading a group of lionesses] Well we don't. Simba's the rightful king.
Simba: The choice is yours, Scar: either step down, or fight.
Scar: Oh, must this all end in violence? I'd hate to be responsible for the death of a family member. Wouldn't you agree, Simba?
Simba: That's not going to 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: [grins] 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!
Simba: (Pauses) I am.
Sarabi: It's not true. Tell me it's not true!
Simba: It's true.
Scar: You see, he admits it! Murderer!
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?
Simba: No.
Scar: Then you're guilty!
Simba: No, I'm not a murderer!
Scar: (Backing Simba towards the edge of a cliff) Oh, Simba, you're in trouble again. But this time, Daddy isn't here to save you. And now everyone knows why!
(Simba falls off cliff, barely holding on by his front paws)
Scar: Now this looks familiar. Hmmmm, 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's paws) And here's my little secret... (Whispers) I killed Mufasa.
Simba: (Leaps back onto Pride Rock, tackling Scar) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MURDERER!!
Scar: No, Simba, please!
Simba: Tell them the truth.
Scar: Truth? But, truth is in the eye of the behol-- (Simba begins applying pressure to Scar's neck) Alright. Alright! (Whispers) I did it.
Simba: So they can hear you.
Scar: I KILLED MUFASA!!!

View Quote Pumbaa: (charges through a group of hyenas) Heeeyyyy-yaaaaah!
Timon: 'Scuse me. Pardon me. Comin' through. Hot stuff. Whoo!

View Quote (during the final battle at Pride Rock, Timon is chased by Shenzi, Banzai and Ed into a cave. Pumbaa appears at the entrance)
Pumbaa: Problem?
Banzai: Hey, who's the pig?
Pumbaa: Are you talking to me?
Timon: Uh-oh. He called him a pig.
Pumbaa: Are you talking to me?!
Timon: Shouldn't 'a done that.
Pumbaa: ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?!?
Timon: Now they're in for it.
Pumbaa: They CALL me... MISTER PIG! (charges at the hyenas while yelling manically)

View Quote (after Scar is knocked off Pride Rock) Scar: Ah, my friends.
Shenzi: Friends? I thought you said we were the 'enemy'.
(Ed laughs while smiling)
