Scenes with Rafiki
4 scenes Rafiki 
[at the end of the film]
Well, that's it. The big wrap-up. The happy ending. The grand finale.
It's over already?
Well, Pumbaa, that's the thing about endings. They come at the end.
Oh, can we watch it again?
Pumbaa, we just saw it. Maybe tomorrow.
[enters]
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!
Ma! We just finished! Show's over!
Well, you're just gonna hafta rewind it. [runs the film back]
Ma!
Uncle Max! We're gonna watch the movie!
Oh, no!
Simba
[enters]
Hey, you guys are watching the movie?
Rafiki [enters with laughter]
Any story worth telling is worth telling twice!
Snow White
Oh, excuse me.
Dwarves
[one by one, save for Grumpy]
Excuse me.
Grumpy
Get outta the way.
Who is this crowd? Hey! Down in front!
Goofy
[Stitch bounces repeatedly from one character to another]
Gawrsh!
Stitch
Aloha!
Sure you don't mind?
Hakuna matata.
Hahuna Ma-what-a?
Rafiki [chuckles]
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]
This bowling for porcupines [spits the first quill] wasn't the best idea, huh?
Yeah, it got to be right up there with bobbin' for snapping turtles. Ow-ah-ahaha!!
That's going to leave a mark. [spits the second quill] Look, Timon. Buzzards! What do you say? One more round?
Sure. There must be some part of me we haven't injured yet.
Please? Please, please, please, please, please?
No, Pumbaa. I'm beat. You go ahead. I'm calling it a day. [leaves while pulling out the last quill from his butt]
But it's no fun alone. [whimpers in sadness before Timon jumps on his back]
Why not? One more run won't change our lives!
[After the Can You Feel the Love Tonight song]
That's it, buddy. We gave it our best shot, but he's a goner.
Maybe not...
You never give up, do you?
Look!
Young Simba
[from the first film.]
Listen, you think you can just show up and tell me how to live my life? You don't even know what I've been through!
Young Nala: would if you'd just tell me.
Young Simba
Forget it!
Young Nala
Fine!
Pumbaa, do you know what this means?
He can't express his feelings and she has commitment issues?
We won! [laughing] We split them up!
And, uh, that's a good thing? Uh, he seems to be taking it kind of hard.
Yeah, I know. Look, I... Heh. But it's the best thing for us. I mean, for him! Let's go, Pumbaa. I think this storm's coming to a head. Hakuna Matata is safe at last, pal, because nothing's going to take our boy away now. [later, Young Nala is telling him and Pumbaa that Young Simba left] He's gone? What do you mean he's gone?!
Young Nala
It's just like the baboon said. The king has returned. [Timon and Pumbaa stare at her blankly. She sighs] You want me to go over it again?
Yes please, but be a dear and skip to the part about Simba. Not that your childhood wasn't fascinating.
Young Nala
Okay. Look, Simba's the rightful king, but after he disappeared, Scar proclaimed himself the king and formed an alliance with the hyenas... [As Young Nala talks, Timon and Pumbaa stop listening]
Young Nala
...So Simba has to go home to challenge his uncle and reclaim his place as king. [Timon and Pumbaa stare blankly at her] Ohh, don't you get it? Simba needs us. Now! [she runs off to find Young Simba]
[indignant]
He needs us? Then he shouldn't have left us! If he wants to run off to be "His Highness", well, I say, don't let the branches hit you on the way out! Leave Hakuna Matata to someone who appreciates it. [he strides off stubbornly]
But, Timon... It's not really Hakuna Matata without Simba.
What has gotten into you? Not Hakuna Matata? That's crazy talk. Crazy talk, I tell you. Nothing's changed here. We had Hakuna Matata before Simba and we've still got it now.
We got to go help our friend, Timon.
Et tu, Pumbaa? You're just going to walk away, give up on all this? What happened to "friends stick together to the end?" Huh? Huh? Huh?
[incisively]
I was about to ask you the same thing. [Pumbaa turns and stalks off. He looks back over his shoulder to see Timon flopping down in the bed]
[stubbornly]
I got everything I ever wanted right here! [Pumbaa turns and trots off, a tear in his eye. Timon lies in the bed, tapping his toe. He begins to soliloquize to convince himself he's doing the right thing] Now, this is more like it. ELBOW ROOM!!! ["Elbow room" echoes an absurd number of times as the camera pulls back repeatedly; sits in despair] Uhhhh. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. [sighs] Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase. Hakuna Matata, ain't no passin' craze. It means no worries. [Rafiki appears, laughing] No. No, no, no. Don't say a word. I know what you're going to say. [Imitates Rafiki] Did you find Hakuna Matata? [normal voice] Well, yes, I did. Thank you very much and I am happy... Happy, happy, deliriously happy. [imitates Rafiki again, laughing] I see. Happy, is it? So, if you're so happy, why do you look so miserable? [normal voice again] Miserable, you say? Why should I be miserable? Oh, I don't know. Maybe my two best pals in the world deserted me. They've headed off on some heroic mission. My friends are gone. And my Hakuna Matata went with them. [Rafiki nods] Would you mind? [Rafiki hits his head with stick] Ah! Thanks. I'm glad we had this talk. [he walks away]
Rafiki My work here is done.
