Lion King 1 1/2, The (2004)

[bunniefuu]

What's on the menu?

It could be ceviche, stinky-oo
It's Pumbaa

I gotta tell you, Timon.
That song always gets me right here.

Yeah, Pumbaa.
Well, enough of that.

Timon, what are you doing?

I'm fast-forwarding to where we come in.

But you can't go out of order.

Au contraire, my porcine pal.
I've got the remote.

But everyone's gonna get confused.

We gotta go back
to the beginning of the story.

We're not in the beginning.

Yes, we were. The whole time.

They don't know that.

Why don't we tell them our story?

I've got an idea.
Why don't we tell them our story?

I like the sound of that.

A little backstage tour.

Take them behind the scenes for a look
at the story within the story.

They don't know how we were there,
even though they didn't know.

Couldn't have said it better.

So we're going back to the beginning?

No, Pumbaa, we're going way back

to before the beginning.

Pride Rock.

So majestic.

So powerful.

So bizarrely named.

How can a rock be proud?
It's a rock.

It's because a pride
is what they call a group of lions.

Sure, the lions get Pride Rock.
What about us meerkats?

Where I come from,
we had nothing to be proud of.

When I was a young meerkat

When he was a young meerkat

Thanks.

Maybe it'd be safer
if I show them where I came from.

Oh, boy. Do we get to see
where you grew up?

Yeah, but it ain't pretty.

Please remain seated
while the camera is in motion.

Here we are.

From Pride Rock to the pit of shame.

We're so low on the food chain,
we're underground.

But don't take my word for it. I'll just
let my fellow meerkats do the talking.

What was that?
What was that?

Where? What? Where? Where?
What was that?

Quick, before the hyena come

Clear.

Digga tunnah
Dig, digga tunnah

When you're done
You dig a bigger tunnah

Digga tunnah
Dig, digga tunnah

Quick, before the hyena come

Digga tunnah
Dig, digga tunnah

Keepa diggin'
Never get dunnah

Digga tunnah
Dig, digga tunnah

What was that?

Quick, before the hyena come

Digga tunnah is what we do

Life's a tunnah
We're diggin' through

Digga tunnah is what we sing

Digga tunnah is everything

Mud and clay is the meerkat's friend

Always more around every bend

And when you get
To your tunnel's end

Hallelujah, let's dig again
Dig

Digga tunnah
Dig, digga tunnah

When it's done
You dig a bigger tunnah

Digga tunnah
Dig, digga tunnah

What was that?

- Quick, before the hyena come
- Dig

Timon.

Excuse me, have you seen my son?
Has he been here?

Timon.

Uncle Max?
Relax. Have you seen Timon?

No, I haven't, and what a day it's been.

No fractures, lacerations, concussions,
contusions, or injuries of any sort.

As a matter of fact, there's no sign
of Timon's handiwork anywhere.

That would be...

Timon!

- Hey, everybody.
- Nice work, Timon.

Way to go, Tunnel Klutz.

- Who else could break a hole?
- Four in one week. A new record.

Not again.

What? It's called a skylight.

Isn't that creative?
A skylight.

I'll just have a word with him.

I was just trying to shed a little light
on our pathetic existence.

Timon, this can't go on.

Just this month, you've pulled down four
walls and collapsed two tunnel exits.

We have to look after each other.
Our survival depends on it.

What's the point? All we do is dig
so we can hide, and hide so we can dig.

I want to be where
we don't have to dig tunnels

and live with our heads
stuck in the sand.

What's so bad about
dreaming of a better home?

I want to show you something.
Look, Timon.

Go on, look.

Look out to the horizon.

Past the trees.

Over the grasslands.

Everything the light touches

belongs to someone else.

I thought you were going
a different direction with this.

- What can I say? It's nature's design.
- We're other animals' food.

A moveable feast,
feared by no one and eaten by all.

But when they die, they become
the grass, and we eat the grass, right?

No. We can't digest grass.
We're grass-intolerant.

OK, Max. Thank you.
You've been a big help.

- Meerkat, it's what's for dinner.
- Thank you, Uncle Max.

I think Uncle Max dislodged
one too many rocks with his skull.

But he's right, Timon. I just know
there's a way for you to fit in here.

All right, who's on sentry duty?

That's it. My son, on sentry duty.

"Timon, the Sentry."

Timon the sentry? Why not save
the hyenas the trouble and k*ll me now?

- k*ll me now.
- He has a point.

All you have to do is watch for hyenas,
and yell if you see one.

Look at Iron Joe.

Don't close your eyes.

Somebody's gotta guard us.
Somebody's gotta protect us.

Now I'm convinced.

It's outside, up in the breeze,
under the wide open sky.

Isn't that what you want? Maybe you'd
rather have him on the digging crew?

No.

Good. Then we all agree.
Timon, listen to Uncle Max.

He'll teach you what you need to know.
Honey, try to make this one work.

Scurry, sniff, flinch.

Scurry, sniff, flinch.

Scurry, sniff, flinch.

Good.
What do we do if we see a hyena?

Scream, "Mommy."

That's right, mister.
The world is fraught with danger.

- Fraught, I tell you.
- Oh, boy. It's the fraught-fest.

-...rip us limb from limb.
- Bravo, Uncle Max.

Way to sell it to the cheap seats.

Applaud now, but try clapping
when you don't have any hands.

Scurry, sniff, flinch.

I like the sound of that.

There's more to life than panic

And being some other guy's snack

I may be delicious, organic

But this little entrée's fighting back

I'm gonna put digging tunnels behind me

And live at a new altitude

I'm gonna reach for the stars
To remind me

That meerkats are not merely food

For once I'll be

Looking out for me

I'll tell you what I want
This cat is moving on

For he's a bon vivant
Who's missing out on 'bon'

I'd be a bigger cheese
Far from the desert scene

A little cooling breeze
A little patch of green

I'll be snoozing in my hammock
By a rippling stream

Many miles from any tunnel
And the digging team

Looking after number one
Will be my only creed

That's all I need

I've always been good at running away

Well, now I'm gonna run the show

I've always been seen
as the ultimate prey

But now my status ain't so quo

A dream sublime

It's hyena time...

Look, it's dinner and a show.

And I thought beans
were the only musical food.

Hy... Hy...

Well, hi to you, too.

This is no time for horseplay. You're
supposed to be up there looking for...

Hyenas.

Look at 'em scramble.

And that's how I like them.

Scrambled.

And a little bit runny.

Get in here.
What are you, a meshuggeneh?

- Stumpy? Flinchy? Swifty?
- Here.

What a relief. Everybody's...
Where's Uncle Max?

- Run for your life.
- Play dead.

You're almost there.

Suede is the look for this fall...

What's going on?
Pumbaa, you're sitting on the remote.

Sorry, I thought it was a brownie.

You've got it, Max.

I flinched when I should've scurried.

It just never gets old, does it?

The classics never do, honey.

I guess I owe everyone an apology.

All right, so I made a teensy mistake.

Like we all haven't broken into song
on sentry duty before.

Let me have a show of hands.

OK.

Maybe it's a little too soon, but I'm
sure we'll all laugh about this someday.

Trust me.

I did trust you.

But...

Sweetie...

I'm never gonna fit in here.
Nobody even likes me.

- Sure they do, honey.
- Besides you, Ma.

Besides me. There's...

I have to find my place,
but it isn't here.

Yes, it is.
We just haven't found it yet.

- But we will. Here's an idea...
- Stop with the hair already.

My place is out there, Ma.

I may not know exactly where
or how far, but I gotta go.

- No, wait. If we just...
- Ma.

I hope you find
what you're looking for, honey.

I love you.

My Timmy.

Mom. Choking. Not breathing.

And people wonder why I have issues.

I'll be OK.

I know you will.

- Be careful.
- I will.

- Don't talk to strangers.
- I know.

Remember, wash behind your ears.

Ma, I'm not a kid anymore.

- Never go swimming without a buddy.
- Got it.

- What?
- I said...

- What?
- I said...

Goodbye, Ma.

And so, with high spirits,
I boldly ventured off

where no meerkat had dared to go before.

I put my past behind me,
and never looked back.

Mommy.

What am I doing?

Which way should I go?

That depends on what you seek.

How convenient.
Enter omniscient monkey, right on cue.

You know what they say.

When the student is ready,
the teacher appears.

That's it.
No more fortune cookies for you.

Where'd you come from?

The better question is,
where are you going?

Someplace wonderful, mister.
Where...

You didn't catch the song
I sang a few minutes ago?

I didn't have the pleasure.

To recap, I want to live
in some beautiful place, outside.

A carefree place where
I don't have to hide or worry.

A life without worry.

You seek Hakuna Matata.

- Harpoon a tomata?
- Hakuna Matata. It means "no worries."

Perfect. Mind taking that stick of yours
and drawing me a map?

To find it, you must look
beyond what you see.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- It means look beyond what you see.

Beyond what I see.

Get a load of the monkey
getting all existential on me.

Beyond what I see.

It's kind of hard to think
with all this music.

Beyond what I see.

Wait a second.
It's coming to me.

It's that slug I ate
or I'm having an epiphany.

I'm going to the Big Pointy Rock.

Right?

Who was that strange monkey?

Dream home, here I come.

Hello?
Strange but wise monkey?

You know, first impressions
are very important.

I thought you were a scream.

Just eat me now. Please make it fast.
I got a low threshold for pain.

Easy there, little guy.
I'm not going to eat you.

What?
You're not?

Then why were you stalking me?

I saw you go by and I figured a little
fella like you shouldn't be out alone.

What about you?
You're all alone.

You are all alone, aren't you?

Yeah. Most animals give me
a pretty wide berth.

They do?
Even the hungry ones?

Yeah. I drive almost everyone away.

People see me coming
and they run for cover.

They can't get out
of the way fast enough.

You don't say.

Must be the gleam on those vicious
tusks. Strikes fear into their hearts.

Actually, they say
I wreck their appetite.

It's like you have this
special power.

Special power?
It's pretty powerful, all right.

- Perfect. You're hired.
- Great. For what?

To get me to a little worry-free haven
out by that big, pointy rock.

And you want me to come with you?

Do you see any other big loveable
chunk of warthog here

who also has razor-sharp tusks
and the ability to repel predators?

- I'm your pig.
- I can tell we see eye to eye.

You mean, like friends?

Easy there, big fella.
I'd say more like acquaintances.

- Well, it's a start.
- Put her there, acquaintance.

- I'm Timon.
- Pumbaa.

No, really.

All right, then.
Let's hit the road.

You got it, acquaintance.

So, clear up one thing for me.

If you weren't going to eat me,
what kind of a wacky pig are you?

I'm an insectivore.

A bug eater. Me, too.
I just never had a name for it.

I'm partial to the crawly critters.
How about you, big boy?

I prefer the ones with wings.

This could be the start
of a beautiful acquaintanceship.

So, now we're back at the beginning.
Right, Timon?

You got that right, pally.

At last, things were looking up.

I had the sun on my shoulders, the wind
at my heels, a song in my heart.

And to protect me,
a great big fat guy.

You really think I look fat?

Pumbaa. You're a pig.
It's a compliment.

Thank you.

It's the circle of life

And it moves us all

There it is. The Big Pointy Rock.

We're almost there.

- I think we're a little late.
- It's a land rush.

That loudmouth monkey. He must've
blabbed it to the whole world.

- What exactly did he say?
- "Look beyond what you see."

Maybe you should
look beyond the rock.

Maybe I should
look beyond the rock.

Let's have a little look, shall we?
Beyond what I see.

What do you know? The monkey's got
an eagle eye for real estate.

Timon, look.

- It's the monkey.
- What's he holding up?

Who cares? It's not important.
Come on. My dream home awaits.

I don't do so well in crowds.
Maybe we better go around.

The shortest distance between me
and my dream home is a straight line.

Follow me.

- Excuse me.
- Goodness.

Make room.

Watch it, Twiggy.

I'm walkin' here.

Timon.
There's something I gotta tell you.

Pumbaa. We'll have plenty of time
to chat once we settle in.

I could really use a rest stop.

Don't worry.
You'll get your second wind.

I got a really bad feeling.

It'll pass.
Trust me. It'll pass.

- Look, the rhinos are bowing.
- We'd better bow, too.

Look, sire, how they kneel
before the royal son.

That's your special power?
What a weapon.

You mean, you don't mind?

Are you kidding?
It was a gas.

I don't like to toot my own horn.

That's probably for the best.

- Let's go, Pumbaa.
- Lead the way.

This is it, buddy boy.
Home, sweet home.

- I don't got to share it with anybody.
- Don't you get lonely out here?

Lonely? Try "commitment free".

The elbow-to-elbow life
reminds me a little too much of home.

This place has everything.
Cool refreshments, cozy little hammock,

a lovely water feature,
and it's all mine.

It's really coming together,
Timon, so...

So I guess I'll just be going.

Wait a minute now.

There's no law that says you have to go.

- I mean, if you want...
- Great. I already made up two beds.

One for you, and one for me.

All this construction work
has me bushed.

Think I'll turn in early.

- Good night.
- Sleep tight.

Dream of bedbugs tonight.

Home, sweet home indeed.

Hey, keep it down up there.

We have neighbors?
We should say hello.

Noisy neighbors.
There go the property values.

Let's hear it in the herd
And on the wing

It's gonna be
King Simba's finest fling

Oh, I just can't wait
To be king

Perfect. We moved to the theatre
district. Get a load of these guys.

Knock it off.

Just can't wait...

Look out.

To be king

I'm OK.

Show people.

Chin up, Pumbaa. Our dream home's
around here somewhere.

I once came across a place that might be
just what you're looking for.

Spectacular waterfalls, set in a lush
tropical oasis, a scrumptious array...

Forget it. I'm a realist, and I'm not
gonna go chasing after some fantasy.

I'm going beyond what I see.

If you go beyond what you see,
how do you know when you're there?

I'll tell you how I know.
We're there.

This is a lovely spot.
Rustic, picturesque.

Home, sweet home.

Sure, it needs a little work,
but it's got good bones.

This is an elephant graveyard. Who'd
ever come to an elephant graveyard?

Sire, the hyenas are after the children.

I see carnivores.

Beyond what you see.

Would this be a bad time to bring up
that little place I told you about?

This is home, sweet home, baby.

Home...

Steam. Steam is good.

Steam is water. Gotta have water.
You know, for the dream home.

Steam home, dream home.

I am perfectly happy right here.

It's remote, private,
no unexpected visitors.

Something tells me this ain't
the travelling company of "Riverdance".

Beyond what you see.

How am I supposed to look beyond
what I see beyond that?

Sorry.

What this place lacks
in water and shade,

it makes up for with searing heat
and blinding sunshine.

Home, sweet home, Pumbaa.

- Shall we run for our lives?
- Oh, yes, let's.

Hang on, Timon.

This is it.
Goodbye, cruel world.

That's it? That wasn't so bad.

You can't knock old Timon down
that easy.

Yeah, bring it on.

Pumbaa? Question.

Is it possible to fall off
the edge of the Earth?

Technically, no. The Earth is round like
a sphere, so it doesn't have an edge.

- Mind if I pause it for a second?
- Go ahead.

Be right back.

It's a small world
After all

It's a small world
After all

It's a small, small world

Everybody.

It's a small world
After all

I got the jumbo so we could share.

- Were you just picking your nose?
- No, I had an itch on the inside.

- Timon, you OK?
- I give up.

But you can't give up.
We still haven't found our dream home.

Forget it, Pumbaa.

I've been dragging you down long enough.

I'm going home,
and I suggest you do the same.

I would if I could, but I can't.

Sure you can, buddy.
I won't stop you.

No, I mean I don't have a home.

You don't? What happened?
Are you lost?

No place good enough for you?

You're all alone
in this big empty world?

Truth is,
I'm all alone, too.

Pumbaa, you're the only friend
I've ever had.

- You mean...
- Yeah, Pumbaa.

And friends stick together to the end.

Timon, are you crying?

I'm fine.

I just have something in my eye.

Here, blow.

- Here, Pumbaa.
- Thanks!

OK, I'm better.

Too bad we never found
that perfect place.

- Why'd we listen to that stupid monkey?
- Maybe you're giving up too soon.

Beyond what you see.

Remember that place I told you about?

Forget about your place.
Get a load of what I found.

Talk about "beyond what you see".

This is our dream home.

Dramatic views.

Your very own porch swing.

Hot tub and spa.

Well-stocked cupboard.

Let's celebrate.

The monkey was right.
We found it. The perfect life.

I'll just whip up a little something.

He had the perfect name for it, too.

Come and get it.

Such a wonderful phrase.
It had this rhythm.

Try this, hot tuna frittata.

- That's not it.
- The spinach armada.

- Quiet, I'm thinking.
- A spoon of ricotta.

- Two words.
- Hookwormy piccata.

- Six syllables.
- Kahuna colada.

- 12 letters.
- A blue enchilada.

- Rhymes with...
- Legumes on a platter.

This oughta be hotter.
I got to Iambada.

How can you dance at a time Iike this?
I'm dying here.

- Sorry about that, paI.
- Hakuna Matata.

- Come again?
- Hakuna Matata. It means "no worries."

Hey, I got an idea.
Let's do a sing-aIong.

You tease.
I Iove karaoke. I'm there.

Hakuna Matata

What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata

Ain't no passin' craze

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

Wait a second.

Pumbaa, where's the grub?

You just can't heIp yourseIf, can you?

Sorry.

This time, show a IittIe seIf-controI.

Hakuna Matata

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

It's our problem free

Philosophy

Hakuna Matata

Matata, Hakuna, Matata

Huh-who-nuh Muh-what-ta?

- It means "no worries."
- I see.

So, I toId the boy
"To find Hakuna Matata,

you must Iook beyond what you see."

- A metaphor.
- ActuaIIy, it's not a...

You used a metaphor on Timon?

He takes things IiteraIIy.

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.

- Are you nuts?
- Nice to have a supportive famiIy.

WeII, here I go.

Remember, the journey of a thousand
miIes begins with the first step.

Thanks. Here's my first step.

Guess bowIing for porcupines
wasn't the best idea.

Yeah. Got to be right up there
with bobbing for snapping turtIes.

That's going to Ieave a mark.

Look, Timon, buzzards.
What do you say, one more round?

There must be some part of me
we haven't injured yet.

PIease.

No, I'm beat. You go ahead.
I'm caIIing it a day.

But it's no fun aIone.

Why not?
One more run won't change our Iives.

Who knows why fate Ied us
to IittIe Simba that day?

Maybe it was just
my Iove of adventure,

or my innate courage,
my vaIiant and fearIess way of...

OK, who's in charge
of the freeze frames?

- Sorry.
- Anywho...

Rescuing Simba was a cinch.

Then came the reaIIy scary part.

Parenthood.

Timon.

- I got to go.
- Go? Go where?

- You know. Go. Bad.
- Why didn't you say so? Let's go.

When you got to go,
you got to go.

Young Iion, get down from there.

AII right.
You guys Iook Iike ants down there.

I'm counting to three.

One, two...

Three.

- Timon.
- Again?

No. I'm thirsty.

This means you'II be up again
about two hours from now.

Hang on, Simba. I'II save you.

Timon?

I'm going to get oId
waIking across this thing.

Timon?

What have you got against the concept
of a good night's sIeep?

ActuaIIy, I had a bad dream.

Oh, weII...

- It wasn't me.
- Junior had a bad dream.

Why don't you sIeep over here with us?

Mi Pumbaa, su Pumbaa.

AII right!

- Good night.
- SIeep tight.

Dream of bedbugs tonight.

Watch where you aim that morning breath.
It shouId come with a warning IabeI.

What a wake-up caII.

Someone woke up
on the wrong side of the warthog.

What's the matter, Pops?
Had a IittIe too much Hakuna Matata?

Sonny boy, I invented Hakuna Matata.

Oh, yeah? WeII, I perfected it.

Sure you did.

Pumbaa, who hoIds the record
for the worId's Iongest bug beIch?

That wouId be Simba.

AII right, who's the champion
at sIug swaIIowing?

- Simba again.
- Cricket crunching? Grub guIping?

Maggot munching?
SnaiI sIurping?

Nobody. We never had
a snaiI-eating contest before.

I don't think this is such a good idea.

I toId you this wasn't
such a good idea.

Thus did the pupiI surpass the teacher.

You've been hanging around with
the monkey again, haven't you?

Our Simba is growing up.

Is this the little boy
I carried?

When did he grow
To be so tall?

Wasn't it yesterday

When he was small?

Sunrise, sunset

Swiftly fly the years

One season following another

Laden with happiness

And tears

So, that's why
they caII it a dung beetIe.

You don't say.
And yet stiII so tasty.

Yeah, and they're my favorite, too.

Just what the doctor ordered.

After a Iong day of doing nothing,
it's good to kick back.

Three paIs and no worries.
What more couId you want?

I'm bushed.

Think I'II turn in for the night.

- I'm out.
- Right behind you.

You're kiIIing me.

Timon, it's your turn
to say good night.

- Good night.
- SIeep tight.

Dream of bedbugs tonight.

You got to admit, we had a pretty
good thing going there.

We couId've gone on Iike that forever.

Except for one teeny-weeny IittIe thing
we forgot to count on.

NaIa?

How did you...

This is a disaster, Pumbaa.
A disaster, I teII you.

Because they've finaIIy
found each other,

Iike two souI mates joined across
the years by the bonds of true Iove?

Sweet, innocent IittIe Pumbaa.

She'II put a stake right through
the heart of our Hakuna Matata.

Then I guess we ought to do something.

And I know just what it is.

Pumbaa, we can't Iet them
feeI the Iove tonight.

Can you feel
The love tonight?

Can you feel
The love tonight?

That's so romantic.

Can you feel
The love...

Can you feel
The love tonight?

The peace
The evening brings?

- That worked Iike a dream.
- It did?

Sarcasm is a foreign Ianguage
to you, isn't it? Look.

Can you feel

She's making those eyes.

He's smiIing that smiIe.

They're Iaughing.

And hugging. And...

And if he falls
In love tonight

It can be assumed

His carefree days
With us are history

In short,
Our pal is doomed

That's it, buddy. We gave it
our best shot, but he's a goner.

Maybe not.

- You never give up, do you?
- Look.

- You don't know what I've been through.
- Then teII me.

- Forget it.
- Fine.

Pumbaa, do you know
what this means?

He can't express his feeIings
and she has commitment issues?

We won. We spIit them up.

And that's a good thing?

He seems to be taking it kind of hard.

I know. Poor guy.

But it's the best thing for us.
I mean, for him.

Let's go.
I think this storm's coming to a head.

Hakuna Matata is safe at Iast, paI,

because nothing's going
to take our boy away now.

He's gone?
What do you mean, he's gone?

It's just Iike the baboon said:
"The king has returned."

You want me to go over it again?

Yes, pIease, but be a dear
and skip to the part about Simba.

Not that your chiIdhood
wasn't fascinating.

Simba's the rightfuI king,
but after he disappeared,

Scar procIaimed himseIf king
and aIIied himseIf with the hyenas.

Poor Simba. The treachery, the viIIainy,
the sheer indescribabIe horror.

Why is she toying with us?
This crazy chick is going to eat us.

Simba has to go home to chaIIenge
his uncIe and recIaim his pIace as king.

Don't you get it?

Simba needs us. Now.

He needs us?
Then he shouIdn't have Ieft us.

If he wants to run off
to be "His Highness",

I say, "Don't Iet the branches hit you
on the way out."

Leave Hakuna Matata
to someone who appreciates it.

But it's not reaIIy Hakuna Matata
without Simba.

What's gotten into you?
Not Hakuna Matata?

That's crazy taIk, I teII you.
Nothing's changed here.

We had Hakuna Matata before Simba,
and we've stiII got it now.

We got to go heIp our friend, Timon.

Et tu, Pumbaa?

You're just going to waIk away,
give up on aII this?

What happened to
friends stick together to the end?

I was about to ask you
the same thing.

I got everything
I ever wanted right here.

This is more Iike it.
EIbow room.

Oh, boy, oh, boy.

Hakuna Matata

What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata

Ain't no passing craze

It means...

No worries.

You. No. Don't say a word.
I know what you're going to say.

"Did you find Hakuna Matata?"

Yes, I did,
thank you very much.

And I am happy.

DeIiriousIy happy.

"I see.
Happy, is it?"

"If you're so happy,
why do you Iook so miserabIe?"

MiserabIe, you say?
Why shouId I be miserabIe?

I don't know. Maybe my two best paIs
in the worId deserted me.

They've headed off
on some heroic mission.

My friends are gone.

And my Hakuna Matata went with them.

WouId you mind?

Thanks. I'm gIad we had this taIk.

My work here is done.

Friends stick together to the end.

What was with the running?
If you can caII it that.

I was giving you time to catch up.

You big Iug.

Hop on, buddy.
We got a fight to catch.

Let's whip some grass.

This is the stuff of Iegends.

An epic struggIe,
the pIace where heroes are born.

Pumbaa, this couId be our finest hour.

Luau.

Hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat?
Eat my buddy Pumbaa here because...

- Let's just cut to the chase, shaII we?
- Sure.

What the...

I Iove the smeII of Pumbaa
in the morning.

Move your tush, honey.

- Ma? UncIe Max?
- Timmy.

Timon?

- What are you doing here?
- Looking for you.

Mommy's here.

Let me introduce my best friend.

Pumbaa, Ma, UncIe Max.
Ma, UncIe Max, Pumbaa.

Look, there's Simba,
and that must be his UncIe Scar.

Good, they're taIking things out,
which is how it shouId be.

I have a feeIing everything's
going to be just fine.

On the other hand...

The hyenas are up there
protecting Scar. What do we do?

- WeII, I've got a pIan.
- How can we heIp?

Ma, UncIe Max,
you're going to dig a trap.

We're going to need,
dare I say it, tunneIs. Lots of tunneIs.

Pumbaa, we've got to get
those hyenas away from Simba.

And Iure them into the trap?

Nothing gets past you.

Come on, Pumbaa, Iet's ride.

Something's different about Timon.

You think?
He's wearing a dress.

Hey, Pumbaa.

What do you caII a hyena
with haIf a brain?

Beats me, Timon. What?

Gifted.

They're taIking about us.

For your Iast meaI,
you're going to eat those words.

Ma, I think we got their attention.

Not yet. Keep staIIing.

OK.

You got to be kidding.

- Now, Ma?
- Need more time, honey.

FreestyIe.

Encore, encore.

- No, you mean "entrée, entrée".
- Right. Let's just eat them.

Is it ready yet, Ma?

Not yet. Keep staIIing.

Wait. HoId on a second.

Timon? What are you doing?

Shenzi-Marie-Predatora-
VeIdetta-JackaIina-Hyena,

wouId you do me the honor
of becoming my bride?

I don't think so.

PIease.
I know what you're thinking.

We're too different. It'II never work.
What wiII the chiIdren Iook Iike?

That vioIates the Iaws of nature.

Listen. The probIems
of a coupIe of wacky kids Iike us

don't amount to a hiII of termites
in this nutty circIe of Iife.

And so I ask you, if not now, when?

If not me, who?

I'm IoneIy.

Can I be your best man?

I say we skip the wedding
and go straight to the buffet.

- Now?
- Sure, if you're ready.

- Now, Max, now.
- Hyenas in the hoIe.

I need heIp. It didn't work.

What are we going to do?

- What?
- Timon, no.

Let's get 'em.

- I'd say Scar is down and out.
- We did it.

Where's Timon?
Where's my baby?

He's hurt.
He's dead. Or worse.

- We've got to find him.
- It's OK, Ma.

PIease. It is not OK.
Don't you teII me it's OK.

Timmy.

My son, the hero.

You missed a spot.

That's so beautifuI.

Choking. Not breathing.

I couIdn't have done it
without you guys.

That's our boy.

I promised myseIf
I wasn't going to cry.

You've reaIIy come a Iong way, Timon.

Did you find what you were Iooking for?

I found a pIace that was
beyond my wiIdest dreams,

but it stiII wasn't home.

Let's go home, Ma.

WeIcome to our new home.
A predator-free environment.

I got to hand it to you, Timon,
this pIace has everything.

Now that we're aII here, it does.

Crane spreads its wings,

turns with dainty hands.

Digga tunnah,
Dig, digga tunnah

Never gonna dig another tunnah

Digga tunnah
Dig, digga tunnah

Nevermore the hyena come

Sing the praises of brave Timon
Greatest meerkat we've ever known

Never dreamed
He'd help Simba shine

Proved it's cool
To hang out with swine

Accidentally saved the day

Planned it so it would look that way

And brought us out
Of the dirt and sand

Brought his family
To the promised land

Sing the praises of brave Timon
Greatest meerkat we've ever known

That's it.

The big wrap-up, the happy ending,
the grand finaIe.

It's over aIready?

That's the thing about endings.
They come at the end.

- Can we watch it again?
- We just saw it.

- Maybe tomorrow.
- What are you guys doing?

You didn't teII me you were watching
the movie. I want to watch it.

Ma, we just finished.
Show's over.

- You'II just have to rewind it.
- Ma.

- UncIe Max, we're watching the movie.
- Oh, no.

- I brought extra butter.
- You guys are watching the movie?

Any story worth teIIing
is worth teIIing twice.

- What the...
- Excuse me.

Excuse me.

- Get out of the way.
- Who is this crowd? Down in front.

Aloha.

Watch it.

- OK, buddy, you win.
- Sure you don't mind?

- Hakuna Matata.
- Sorry.

Timon.
I stiII don't do so weII in crowds.
