[Confrontation Scene] {Simba is making his way up Pride Rock. Scar calling his mother causes him to pause and watch.} Scar: SARABI! {Sarabi ascends Pride Rock. The hyenas snap at her heels. She only glares disdainfully at them.} Sarabi: Yes, Scar? Scar: Where is your hunting party? They're not doing their job. Sarabi: {Calmly} Scar, there is no food. The herds have moved on. Scar: No. You're just not looking hard enough. Sarabi: It's over. There is nothing left. We have only one choice. We must leave Pride Rock. Scar: We're not going anywhere. Sarabi: Then you have sentenced us to death. Scar: Then so be it. Sarabi: {Disgusted, amazed} You can't do that. Scar: I'm the king. I can do whatever I want. Sarabi: If you were half the king Mufasa was you would nev-- {Scar hits Sarabi, knocking her to the ground.} Scar: I'm ten times the king Mufasa was! {Simba appears on the ledge, growling loudly. He leaps out and runs to his mother. Scar mistakes Simba as Mufasa and is understandably frightened.} Mufasa? No. You're dead. {Sarabi awakens at her son's nudge, but mistakes him as Mufasa as Scar did.} Sarabi: Mufasa? Simba: No. It's me. Sarabi: {Delighted} Simba? You're alive? {Confused} How can that be? Simba: It doesn't matter; I'm home. Scar: {Confused} Simba...? {back in form} Simba! I'm a little surprised to see you, {giving the hyenas above him an angry look} alive... {On the word "alive," Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed gulp audibly and slink into the shadows.} Simba: {As Sarabi looks on with some pride} Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart. Scar: {Backing into a wall, apologetic} Oh, Simba, you must understand. The pressures of ruling a kingdom... Simba: ...Are no longer yours. Step down, Scar.
Scar: Oh, oh, ye-- Well, I would, heh, naturally, heh--
however, there is one little problem. You see them?
{pointing to the horde of hyenas on the rocks above}
They think I'M king.
{Nala appears with the rest of the lionesses.}
Nala: Well, we don't. Simba is the rightful king.
Simba: The choice is yours, Scar. Either step down or
fight.
Scar: Oh, must it 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 gonna work, Scar. I've put it behind me.
Scar: Eh, but what about your faithful subjects? Have they put
it behind them?
Nala: Simba, what is he talking about?
Scar: {Delighted} Ahh, 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!
{Scar's last line causes the lionesses to start. All are
concentrating on Simba.}
Simba: {Steeling himself, then taking a step forward} I am.
{Sarabi approaches her son.}
Sarabi: {With much grief} It's not true. Tell me it's not true.
Simba: {Regretfully} It's true.
Scar: You see! He admits it! Murderer!
{Lightning crashes behind Scar's head to punctuate the line.}
Simba: No. It was an accident.
{Scar walks around and around Simba as he accuses him; very nicely
done animated rotation.}
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: {Severely} Then... you're... guilty.
Simba: No. I'm not a murderer.
Scar: Oh, Simba, you're in trouble again. But this time,
Daddy isn't here to save you. And now EVERYONE.. KNOWS...
WHY!
{Scar has been backing Simba up the length of Pride Rock.
After his last sentence, Simba slips over the edge and is
clinging to the ledge by his forepaws. Lightning strikes
below, igniting a fire.}
Nala: Simba!
{Scar sits back and pretends to think.}
Scar: Now this looks familiar. Hmm. Where have I seen
this before? Let me think. Hmmm... hmmm. Oh yes,
I remember. This is just the way your father looked
before he died.
{Scar grabs Simba with his claws as he did Mufasa. He
whispers into Simba's ear.}
Our plan is working -- GET THE FACTS!
