Scar
So you haven't told them your little secret? Well, Simba, now is your chance to confess. Tell them who is 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, 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?
Simba
No, I'm--
Scar
You're what? Say it! Are you the king?
Simba
No, no. I'm--
Scar
Are you the king?!
Simba
[falls into despair all over again]
No, I'm...
Scar
You're what?! Say it!
Simba
[whimpering near the ledge]
I'm nothing.
Scar
Then bow to your king!
Nala
[Simba falls and hangs over the ledge of Pride Rock]
SIMBA!
Scar
[Lightning strikes below, igniting a fire]
Now, this looks familiar. Where have I seen this before? ...Oh, yes. I remember! This is the way Mufasa looked before he died. I looked down, and saw the fear in his eyes. [claws Simba's paws] And here's my little secret. [whispers into Simba's ear] I killed Mufasa.
Simba
[In shock, Simba has a flashback in slow motion and realizes that it was Scar who killed Mufasa at the gorge; Simba's eyes wide open and his shock turns into fury as he bites Scar's mane and gets back up, resuming the confrontation]
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
Then how did you see the look in Mufasa's eyes?!
Simba
[Scar growls, realizing he's been exposed]
Murderer!
Scar
[to his hyenas]
Kill them all!
Nala
Well, we don't. Your reign is over, Scar. Simba is the rightful king. If you want to get him, [Nala bounds onto a tall rock.] you have to get through us. [Nala halfway turns over one shoulder.] Are you with me, lions?
Lionesses
*roar*
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, [Scar paces in front of Simba.] 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
[to Simba]
What is he talking about?
Scar
So, you haven't told them your little secret? [Scar sits.] Well, Simba, now's your chance to confess. Tell them who's responsible for Mufasa's death.
Simba
[The lionesses look expectantly at Simba.]
It was me.
Sarabi
[Simba turns his back on Sarabi.] [worried]
It's not true. Tell me it's not true.
Simba
It's true. I'm sorry.
Scar
[Scar stands.]
He admits it. Murderer!
Simba
[shocked]
No, no. [stammering] 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
[Scar circles around Simba, and he stumbles toward the promontory.] [stammering in fear]
I'm not a murderer.
Scar
[Scar backs Simba toward the promontory.]
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?
Simba
No. I'm... I'm...
Scar
You're what? Say it! Are you the king?
Simba
No. No, I'm...
Scar
Are you the king?
Simba
No, I'm...
Scar: You're what?
Simba
I'm...
Scar: Say it!
Simba
I'm nothing.
Scar
[angrily]
Then bow to your king!!!
Simba
*roars*
Nala
[horrified]
Simba!
Scar
[Lightning strikes, igniting a tree below Pride Rock. Sarabi paces forward, watching in distress. The fire begins to spread. The camera pans up to show Simba clinging to Pride Rock for dear life.] [A fire forms below as Simba is hanging to the edge for dear life, Scar comes closer]
This looks familiar. Where have I seen this before? Ah, yes, I remember. This is how Mufasa looked before he died. I looked down, and saw the fear in his eyes. [furiously sinks his claws into Simba's paws, the same way he did to Mufasa. Simba roars in pain] And here's my little secret: [ lens in close to whisper in Simba's ear] I killed Mufasa. [Simba's eyes widen. In a flashback, Mufasa falls into the gorge, with young Simba watching in terror]
Young Simba
[echoing]
No!
Simba
My father, your own brother! How could you?!
Scar
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
[angrily]
Then how did you see the look in Mufasa's eyes?!
Simba
Murderer!!!
Scar
[ to the hyenas]
KILL THEM ALL!
Hyenas *cackle*
[In answer, The hyenas charge at Simba.] Simba: *growls*
Hyena
[The hyenas swarm Simba, who fights back. Simba grabs a hyena and tosses it aside.]
*whimpers*
Nala
Lions, attack!
Lionesses
[Nala charges into battle. The other lionesses follow suit.]
*growl*
[The hyenas charge at the lionesses.] Hyenas *cackle*
Shenzi
*yells*
Nala
[Shenzi bowls into Simba, and the hyenas manage to knock him onto his side. Nala looks up in concern as Simba is swarmed by hyenas.]
Simba! [Nala knocks several hyenas off Simba.] *grunts*
[Nala fights off the hyenas. Cut to Timon and Pumbaa running into a cave.] Timon and Pumbaa': *pant*
Timon
[Timon and Pumbaa pause and look outside the cave.]
Pumbaa, I think we lost them.
Pumbaa
That was terrifying.
Hyenas
[Behind Timon and Pumbaa, eyes gleam from the shadows.]
*growl*
Pumbaa
[Four hyenas stalk into the light.]
Do you hear a low growl?
Hyena
Looks like we'll be having pig for dinner. [Timon turns around.] Plump and chubby.
Pumbaa
Chubby? [Pumbaa turns around.] Did he just call me chubby?
Timon
Uh-oh.
Pumbaa
It sounded... It sounded a lot like he just said "chubby," which would be a mistake because [The hyenas surround Pumbaa.] I will not be made to feel ashamed of who I am!
Timon
[Timon watches in concern.]
Oh, boy.
Pumbaa
I may run from hyenas, but I will always fight a bully!
Hyena
[Pumbaa charges at a hyena and headbutts it aside.]
*whimpers*
Pumbaa
[Pumbaa charges and headbutts another hyena.]
*grunts*
Hyena
*whimpers*
Hyenas
[The remaining hyenas flee. Pumbaa headbutts them out of the cave.]
*cackle*
Pumbaa
*grunts* [Pumbaa pauses, and Timon climbs into his mane.] *sighs*
Timon
You feel better, Pumbaa?
Pumbaa
I do.
Timon
You got that out of your system?
Pumbaa
I did.
