Rafiki
Shh. It's a secret. (leans towards Simba) Asante sana, squash banana, we we nugu mi mi apana!
Enough, already! What does that mean anyway?
Rafiki
It means you're a baboon. And I'm not! (chuckles)
Going back means I'll have to face my past. I've been hiding from it for so long...
OW! Geez, what was that for?!
Rafiki
It doesn't matter! It's in the past! (chuckles)
Yeah, but it still hurts.
Rafiki
Oh, yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it.
Rafiki
Aha! You see? So what are you going to do?
Well first, I'm gonna take your stick. (grabs Rafiki's stick)
Have you guys seen Simba?
Timon
I thought he was with you.
He was, but now I can't find him. Where is he?
Rafiki
Hoo-hoo-hoo! You won't find him here! Ha ha! The King has returned.
I don't believe it. He's gone back!
Timon
What?
Timon
Hey, what's going on here? Who's the monkey?!
Simba's gone back to challenge Scar!
Timon
Who?
Scar.
Pumbaa
Who's got a scar?
No, no, no. It's his uncle.
Timon
The monkey's his uncle?!
No! Simba's gone back to challenge his uncle to take his place as king.
Ohhh.
Rafiki
To find Hakuna Matata, you must look beyond what you see.
Timon
Well, that's it. The big wrap-up. The happy ending. The grand finale.
Pumbaa
It's over already?
Timon
Well, Pumbaa, that's the thing about endings. They come at the end.
Pumbaa
Oh, can we watch it again?
Timon
Pumbaa, we just saw it. Maybe tomorrow.
Hey, what're you guys doin'? [notices the film and gasps] You didn't tell me you were watching the movie! I wanna watch, too!
Timon
Ma! We just finished! Show's over!
Well, you're just gonna hafta rewind it. [runs the film back]
Timon
Ma!
Uncle Max! We're gonna watch the movie!
Timon
Oh, no!
Max
Hey, I brought extra butter!
Hey, you guys are watching the movie?
Rafiki
Any story worth telling is worth telling twice!
Timon
What the--?
Oh, excuse me.
Excuse me.
Get outta the way.
Timon
Who is this crowd? Hey! Down in front!
Gawrsh!
Aloha!
Timon
Watch it!
Timon
Okay, buddy. You win.
Pumbaa
Sure you don't mind?
Timon
Hakuna matata.
Pumbaa
Timon, I still don't do so well in crowds.
Hahuna Ma-what-a?
Rafiki
It means "no worries."
I see...
Rafiki
So, I told the boy: To find Hakuna Matata, you must look beyond what you see.
Ah, a metaphor.
Rafiki
Well, actually, it's not a... [Ma hits him in the head with his own stick] Ah!
You used a metaphor on Timon?! He takes things literally! That's it. He's starving out there. I just know it! Max! Timon's out there chasing metaphors. I've got to go find him!
Uncle Max: [from offscreen] Are you nuts?!
Nice to have a supportive family, isn't it? Well, here I go.
Rafiki
Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
Thanks. Here's my first step. [stomps on Rafiki's foot, and the scene cuts to Timon screaming]
Timon
OW!!!!!! [pauses; Pumbaa pulls one of three quills from his butt] Aye!!!
Pumbaa
This bowling for porcupines [spits the first quill] wasn't the best idea, huh?
Timon
Yeah, it got to be right up there with bobbin' for snapping turtles. Ow-ah-ahaha!!
Pumbaa
That's going to leave a mark. [spits the second quill] Look, Timon. Buzzards! What do you say? One more round?
Timon
Sure. There must be some part of me we haven't injured yet.
Pumbaa
Please? Please, please, please, please, please?
Timon
No, Pumbaa. I'm beat. You go ahead. I'm calling it a day. [leaves while pulling out the last quill from his butt]
Pumbaa
But it's no fun alone. [whimpers in sadness before Timon jumps on his back]
Timon
Why not? One more run won't change our lives!
Dr. Frank Napier
Don, the man has a legitimate problem. How's he supposed to keep drug dealers out of his school if their buddies can just push open the exit doors and let 'em walk on in?
He's got a point, sir.
Rosenberg, this doesn't concern you.
Dr. Frank Napier(holding the newspaper): You see this yet?
Dr. Frank Napier
You know all your shit comes down on my head.
Joe Clark
Oh Frank, look-
Dr. Frank Napier
No, let me talk. It's like you're a big bird with radar, and I'm tired of getting hit!
Joe Clark
Is this my fault?
Dr. Frank Napier
This is nothing! I've got Union Lawyers threatening me, and there's talk of a walkout.
Joe Clark
Well let 'em! They're not teaching down there anyway!
Dr. Frank Napier
Then it's your job not-
Joe Clark
None of them has a personal stake in that school Frank, not one.
Dr. Frank Napier
The Fire Chief was just here, he says it's illegal to bar those doors. Mrs. Barrett is organizing a parent's group to try to get you removed, since you insulted them at that meeting the other night when you suggested that they "get off welfare".
Joe Clark
Oh, I just-
Dr. Frank Napier
Cause the fact is quite a few of them need it.
Joe Clark
I wasn't talking to all of them, Frank. Now look, you came and recruited me, man. You disappoint me brother, you disappoint me.
Dr. Frank Napier
The disappointment here is you!
Joe Clark
Me?!
Dr. Frank Napier
Yes!
Joe Clark
Look, you know who I am. You know me 30 years, you knew what I would do! You know how I'm ready.
Dr. Frank Napier
Quiet! The fact is you're screwing up. You're alienating everybody! Look at you; you have no life, your wife left you! I oughta walk out on you myself!
Joe Clark
Well, go ahead! Bail the hell on out!
Dr. Frank Napier
But I said I would back you up!
Joe Clark
That's what you said, Frank! That's what you said!
Dr. Frank Napier
Brother, I will go through the... fire with you! But you are not taking care of business! This shit you're pulling now, is just gone plain loco! And you suspend Darnell, what the hell was that?
Joe Clark
Darnell is symptomatic of the disciplinary problems that we have in this entire-
Dr. Frank Napier
He is a good, strong, young black teacher! So, he, dumped that desk right on top of your head, well right on! Good for him! You will reinstate that man, you hear? [Clark waves his hand in acknowledgment.] And then you fire Mrs. Elliot, why?! Because she didn't want to kiss your ass, well I wouldn't either, how about that?!
Joe Clark
Mrs. Elliot has an ego problem!
Dr. Frank Napier
Yeah, well, you lost the best teacher we had. We couldn't get her back now if we wanted to.
Joe Clark
I don't have time for Mrs. Elliott's problem!
Dr. Frank Napier
You better make time!
Joe Clark
We are being crucified by a process that is turning blacks into a permanent underclass here, Frank. A permanent underclass!
Joe Clark
No-oh, see? Nobody wants to talk about that. Nobody! Mrs. Elliott's missionary zeal about Mozart has nothing to do with our problem. Nothing! What good is Mozart going to do a bunch of children who can't go out and get a job?!
Dr. Frank Napier
Joe, your personal battles are gonna cost us the war. Worry about the test scores.
Joe Clark
What the hell you think I'm worried about, Frank?!
Dr. Frank Napier
End of discussion! Debate is over; you will write a formal apology!
Joe Clark
I will what?!
Dr. Frank Napier
A formal apology! For your treatment of Mrs. Elliott and Darnell and for your vicious and thoughtless insults to the women of this community! You will kowtow, you will step and fetch!
Joe Clark
Frank, if you think-
Dr. Frank Napier
Get used to it, it's the way of the world! If you're so hot on discipline, then goddamn it... [Slams a fist on his briefcase] start by accepting mine. Because contrary to popular opinion, I'm the head **** in charge! [Savagely grabs his briefcase and heads for the door, then turns back to a speechless Clark] Come on, let's get something to eat.
Joe Clark
You really think you're bad, don't you?
Joe Clark
Don't talk to me about saving those kids. The mayor wants to save his budget. And you wanna save your ass!
Dr. Frank Napier
Well, so what? You want the truth?
Joe Clark
Yeah, Frank. Let's have some truth.
Dr. Frank Napier
The truth is that for all your talking, all your 'Crazy Joe' routine, what have you ever done? Nothing. You're nothing but an insignificant man. It's like you were never born. Your life hasn't made one bit of difference, and neither has mine. Wanna take that to the grave?
