DialogueEdit
- Pumbaa: (twice during the film) Uh...I don't do so well in crowds.
- Rafiki: Look beyond what you see.
- Timon: This could be the start of a beautiful...acquaintanceship.
- Timon: (about Simba) He's gone? Whaddaya mean he's gone?!
- Nala: It's just like the baboon said. The king has returned. [Timon and Pumbaa stare at her blankly] (sighs) You guys want me to go over it again?
- Timon: Yes please, but be a dear and skip to the part about Simba. Not that your childhood wasn't fascinating!
- 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 Nala talks, Timon and Pumbaa stop listening.]
- Pumbaa: (thinks) Poor Simba. The treachery! The villainy! The sheer indescribable horror!
- Timon: (thinks) Blah blah blah. Why is she toying with us? This crazy chick is gonna eat us!
- Nala: ...So Simba has to go back 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!
- [The scene repeatedly goes back and forth between a night scene where Simba wakes up Timon and a day scene where Timon is harmed during one of Simba's antics.]
- Simba: Timon, Timon! TIMON! (Timon grunts) I gotta go!
- Timon: (Voice very faint) Go? Go where?
- Simba: You know: Go! Bad!
- Timon: [gets the idea] Oh, you mean go?! Then why didn't you say so?! Come on, let's go!
- (On the log bridge)
- Timon: Listen, kid, when you gotta go, you gotta go!
- (On a very high tree, "Jungle Boogie" plays)
- Timon: Young lion, get down from there!
- Simba: Yahoo! All right! Hey, you guys look like ants down there!
- Timon: I'm counting to three!
- (Simba jumps onto a weak branch, it breaks)
- Pumbaa: Uh oh!
- (Simba continues to fall)
- Timon: One! Two!
- (Pumbaa jumps onto Timon, making a pillow for Simba to land on)
- Timon: (Gasping for air) Threeeeee.
- ("The Lion Sleeps Tonight" starts again)
- Simba: Timon?
- Timon: Wha? Again?!
- Simba: No, I'm thirsty.
- (Back on the log bridge)
- Timon: You know, kid, this means you'll be up again about 2 hours from now.
- (Location: A river leading to an 500 ft waterfall. "Jungle Boogie" plays while Simba swims peacefully. A floating camera captures Timon swimming vigurously.)
- Timon: Hang on, Simba! I'll save ya!
- (Simba goes off the waterfall; Pumbaa catches him.)
- Timon: (falls) YYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
- ("The Lion Sleeps Tonight" Plays Yet Again)
- Simba: Timon? (frowns)
- (Back to the log bridge)
- Timon: (extremely tired) You know, I'm gonna get old walking over this thing.
- (Simba Pounces Timon in the Air, "Jungle Boogie" plays for a final time.)
- Timon: YYAAAAAAAAAAAYAYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAYAYYYYYYYAAAY!
- ("The Lion Sleeps Tonight" plays for a final time)
- Simba: Timon?
- (Music finally stops. Timon grabs his ears in stress.)
- Timon: (Angry with bloodshot eyes) WHAT HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST THE CONCEPT OF A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP, HUH?!
- Simba: Actually, I had a bad dream.
- [Timon causes a cave-in while digging a hole.]
- Max: That would be... TIMON!
