[It also comes across that Simba hassome rather big shoes to fill, so to speak, and is only nowrealizing his true position. -BT] Simba is harshly remindedof how small and young he is compared to his father.

After a distance of rock, we reach theedge and view on the plain a very large herd ofwildebeest; the size of the herd comes across with a strikingcomputer-generated parallax pan. The camera then focuses in on thehyenas (Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed), who are waiting off of the edgeof the herd, hidden under a rock arch.}Banzai: {Stomach growls}Shenzi: Shut up.Banzai: I can't help it. I'm so hungry... {jumping up} Igotta have a wildebeest!Shenzi: Stay put.Banzai: Well... can't I just pick off one of the little sick ones?Shenzi: No!

Simba's roar echoes around the canyon.Shot of Simba lifting his ears to relish the echo. The echo issoon eclipsed, however, by a low rumble. Simba looksdown and sees pebbles jumping. Cue the very sinister "To Die For"music. We see the herd coming over the lip of the gorge. Dramaticmulti-layer camera pull up to Simba's terrified face. Simba takesoff in front of the herd.}{Cut to the rim of the gorge, where the Hyenas are seen chasingthe wildebeest herd, nipping at their heels to drive them overthe edge.

I'll go back for help, that's what I'lldo, I'll go back for he--oomph!{Scar backhands Zazu into a rock wall, knocking him out.Scar then follows Mufasa's progress from the lip of thegorge, his shadow cast mysteriously from the bottom of thegully {!}. Mufasa runs with the herd till slightly past thetree. He whips around the front of some wildebeest andruns into the herd towards Simba's tree. He gets rammedhead-first once, throwing him to the ground. A wildebeesthits Simba's tree, throwing Simba into the air. Mufasa getsup in time to catch Simba in the air with his mouth. Hegets hit again and accidentally throws Simba. Simba dodgesa few oncoming wildebeest. Mufasa runs by with the herdand grabs Simba. He jumps up to a near rock ledge and setsSimba down, but is immediately struck by a wildebeest andcarried off into the stampede.}Simba: DAD!{Simba watches in horror as he cannot find his father inthe swirling mass of wildebeest below him. At the lastsecond, Mufasa leaps out of the herd and starts to climbwith great difficulty up the sheer rock slope. Simbaturns and starts to climb up to the top of the gorge. Outof Simba's sight, Mufasa reaches a point right below aledge where he can't climb due to the steepness. His claws arescraping and his back paws have no traction. Above him onthe ledge is Scar.}Mufasa: Scar! Broth-- {slips, barely hangs on} Brother! Help me!{Scar looks disdainfully down, and then suddenly latchesonto Mufasa's forepaws with claws extended.

His expression slowlychanges to one of horror as he recognizes Scar's intent.}Scar: {Slowly and evilly} Long live the king.{Scar throws his brother backwards. Mufasa free-falls,back first. The camera follows Mufasa down from under him,then from above him, showing the stampede raging below.}Mufasa: Aaaaaaahh!{Camera suddenly focuses in on Simba, who is watching hisf

Simbabounds to the canyon floor. Mufasa is nowhere to beseen.}Simba: {Cough} Dad!!{We hear a sound}Simba: {Quietly} Dad?{We see a stray wildebeest run past, the source of thesound. The wildebeest curves around a log further down thegully. Under the log is Mufasa, laying on his side. He isnot moving or breathing. Simba approaches the body. Sadmusical theme. Again we notice how small Simba really is.}Simba: {Hopefully} Dad? ...Dad, come on. {He rubs upagainst Mufasa's cheek. The head merely rolls back inplace after the rub} You gotta get up. {He places bothforepaws on his father's cheek and pushes} Dad. We gotta gohome. {He tugs at Mufasa's ear. Again the head limplymoves back in place. Simba runs off a bit, obviouslyvery scared.} HEEEEELP! Somebody! {His voice reverberateshollowly off the sides of the gorge.} Anybody... help.{He cries. Simba turns back to the body. He nuzzles up under thelimp paw so that his father is embracing him. Pause for effect.}{Where the music would resolve, we hit a minor chord asthe image of Scar advancing appears through the dust.}Scar: Simba. ...What have you done?Simba: {Jumps back, crying} There were wildebeests and hetried to save me... it was an accident, I... I didn'tmean for it to happen.Scar: {Embracing Simba, yet still distant} Of course, ofcourse you didn't. No one... ever means {pulls Simbacloser; Simba hides his face on Scar's foreleg} forthese things to happen. ...But the king IS dead. {lookingwith mock regret at Simba) And if it weren't for you, he'dstill be alive. {Simba is crushed, believing his guilt.Another thought "occurs" to Scar.} Oh! What will yourmother think?Simba: {Sniffing} What am I gonna do?Scar: Run away, Simba. Run... Run away and never return.{Simba runs off blindly, obviously broken. Slight pause,for the audience to catch its emotional breath. Music ends.The three hyenas appear behind Scar.}Scar: Kill him.{The hyenas take off after him; Scar stands motionless.Simba is chased up the entire length of the gully. Hereaches the lip only to see a sheer drop on the otherside. Having no choice he jumps and tumbles down into apatch of briars below. The hyenas pursue the entire way.When the are running down towards the briars, Banzai seesthem and recoils.Banzai: Whoa!!{After skidding extensively, Banzai manages to stop just abovethe brambles. He heaves a sigh of relief.

AndIF he comes back, we'll kill him.Banzai: {Shouting} Yeah! you hear that? If you ever comeback, we'll kill ya!!!{"Kill ya" echoes off as we see Simba still running into thedesert.

Instead we see the adult Simba's paw come down.An immediate back up for a full view of a big Simba.}Pumbaa and Timon: {Chanting to music} Hakuna matata,hakuna matata, hakuna matata.Simba: {Adult voice now.}It means no worriesFor the rest of your days.All three:It's our problem-freePhilosophySimba:Hakuna Matata{All three dive off of the log into a pond. First, Timonjumps in doing a cannonball, and makes a small splash.Then Pumbaa, doing a swan dive, makes a small splash too.Finally Simba swings out on a vine (gripped in his teeth).Before he can dive, the vine breaks under his weight. Theresulting splash is big enough to wash Pumbaa and Timonashore.}Hakuna Matata{Simba joins Timon and Pumbaa on shore.

He then collapses to lay on theedge of the ledge. Milkweed floss is stirred into the airby his flop. The camera follows its path. It crosses thedesert. Next we see Rafiki's hand snatch some it out ofthe air. He sniffs it, grunts, and bounds down into histree. He pours the milkweed into a turtle shell, sifts it around, and then eats from the same kind of fruit he anointed Simba with. Examining the milkweed floss again,realization dawns on his face.}Rafiki: Simba? He's- he's alive? He he- he's alive! {He laughs}{Rafiki grabs his staff.

Simba's head over to whisper into his ear.

He looksover the edge and sees his reflection in a pool of waterHe first seems a bit startled, perhaps at his own matureappearance, but then realizes what he's looking at.}Simba: {Disappointed sigh} That's not my father. That's justmy reflection.Rafiki: Noo. Look harder.{Rafiki motions over the pool. Ripples form, distorting Simba'sreflection; they resolve into Mufasa's face. A deep rumbling noiseis heard.You see, he lives in you.{Simba is awestruck. The wind picks up. In the air thehuge image of Mufasa is forming from the clouds. Heappears to be walking from the stars.

me. Look inside yourself, Simba. You are more than whatyou have become. You must take your place in theCircle of Life.Simba: How can I go back?

I'm alittle surprised to see you, {giving the hyenas abovehim an angry look} alive...{On the word "alive," Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed gulp audiblyand slink into the shadows.}Simba: {As Sarabi looks on with some pride} Give me one goodreason why I shouldn't rip you apart.Scar: {Backing into a wall, apologetic} Oh, Simba, you mustunderstand. 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.{Na

la 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 orfight.Scar: Oh, must it all end in violence? I'd hate to beresponsible for the death of a family member. Wouldn'tyou 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 putit 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 themwho is responsible for Mufasa's death!{Scar's last line causes the lionesses to start. All areconcentrating 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 nicelydone 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 isclinging to the ledge by his forepaws. Lightning strikesbelow, igniting a fire.}Nala: Simba!{Scar sits back and pretends to think.}Scar: Now this looks familiar. Hmm. Where have I seenthis before? Let me think. Hmmm... hmmm. Oh yes,I remember. This is just the way your father lookedbefore he died.{Scar grabs Simba with his claws as he did Mufasa. Hewhispers into Simba's ear.}And here's MY little secret: I killed Mufasa.{Simba has a quick memory flash back to that fatefulinstant. His voice blends with his younger voice in thescream of when his father died. In one giant leap helunges up and pins Scar on his back. Scar is caught completelyby surprise and is understandably very nervous and shaken.}Simba: NoooooOOOO! ...Murderer!Scar: No, Simba, please.Simba: Tell them the truth.Scar: Truth? But truth is in the eye of the beholdllgkkk!{Simba starts to choke Scar.}All right. All right. {quietly, venomously} I did it.Simba: So they can hear you.Scar: {Grudgingly, but clear} I killed Mufasa!{Nala starts towards Scar, the hyenas attack Simba in awall of teeth.

Yah! hhyEEOOWww!{Camera switch to Timon running from Shenzi. He runs intothe cave. Zazu spots him. Timon runs into his cage forsafety from the hyenas.}Zazu: Let me out! Let me out!Timon: Let me in!

Scar runs up to the edge and sees the sheerdrop. Simba leaps up to confront him at the cliff-likeedge. Scar is very apprehensive, seeing he is cornered andat Simba's mercy.}Simba: {Quietly, severely} Murderer.Scar: Simba, Simba. Please. Please have mercy. I beg you.Simba: You don't deserve to live.Scar: But, Simba, I am... ah... {unsure of his tactic} family.It's the hyenas {regaining composure} who are the real enemy.It was their fault-- it was their idea!{Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed are in the background. Theyoverhear and back away growling at Scar's betrayal.}Simba: Why should I believe you? Everything you ever toldme was a lie.Scar: What are you going to do? You wouldn't kill your oldUncle...? {ingratiating grin}Simba: No, Scar. I'm not like you.Scar: {Greatly relieved} Oh, Simba, thank you. You are trulynoble. I'll make it up to you, I promise.

As you wish... {looking down and seeinga pile of hot coals} ...your Majesty! {Scar swipes the coalsinto Simba's face. With a cry of surprise and pain, Simbapaws the coals away as Scar leaps and attacks.}{There is a fight in slow motion. Both Scar and Simba land heavyblows. Simba gets knocked on his back. Scar leaps through theflames at him. Simba gathers courage and uses Scar's mome

ntum in a"throw" similar to Nala's fighting tactics to send him flying over theedge. Scar tumbles to the bottom. He weakly gets up. He sees Banzai,Shenzi, and Ed approaching and smiles. Ed has a very angry look on hisface.}Scar: Ahh, my friends.Shenzi: Frie-he-hends? I thought he said we were the enemy!Banzai: Yeah, that's what I heard.Banzai and Shenzi: Ed?Ed: {Laughs evilly}Scar: {Very nervous} No. L-L-L-Le-Le-Le-Le-Let me explain. No.You don't understand. No!

Simba starts up and pauses to hug Rafiki ashis father did.}Rafiki: It is time.{Very majestically, he ascends through the rain. Music is strong.Through a hole in the clouds we can see a patch of stars. One brightstar shines out briefly.}Mufasa: Remember . . .{Simba's expression gains confidence and strength.

Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. 世界上所有的生命都在微妙的平衡中生存。 2. I’m only brave when I have to be. Being brave doesn’t mean you go looking for trouble. 我只是在必要的时候才会勇敢,勇敢并不代表你要到处

闯祸。 3. When the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world. 如果这个世界对你不理不睬,你也可以这样对待它。 4. You can’t change the past. 过去的事是不可以改变的。 5. Yes, the past can hurt. But I think you can either run from it or learn from it. 对,过去是痛楚的,但我认为你要么可以逃避,要么可以向它学习。 6. This is my kingdom. If I don’t fight for it, who will? 这是我的国土,我不为她而战斗,谁为呢? 第二部分 Mufasa: Simba, let me tell you something that my father told me. Look at thestars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars. Simba: Really? Mufasa: Yes, so whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you, and so am I. 时常感动于他们之间的父子情,而且,也深深为木法沙拥有的智慧所折服!
