Timon : But with power!
Nala : Could you guys excuse us for a few minutes?

Timon : Jeez, it's a lion! Run, Pumbaa, move it!
Pumbaa : Hey, Timon, it's just a little lion. Look at him. He's so cute and all alone. Can we keep him?
Timon : Pumbaa, are you nuts? We're talking about a lion. Lions eat guys like us.
Pumbaa : But he's so little.
Timon : He's going to get bigger.
Pumbaa : Maybe he'll be on our side.
Timon : That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. Maybe he'll... Hey, I got it. What if he's on our side? You know, having a lion around might not be such a bad idea.

Timon : Look, kid: bad things happen, and you can't do anything about it, right?
Young Simba : Right.
Timon : *Wrong*! When the world turns its back on you, you turn your *back* on the world.

Pumbaa : Oh.
Timon : [singing]

Rafiki : [Chuckles] You won't find him here! The king has returned.
Nala : I can't believe it. He's gone back!
Timon : Gone back? What do you mean?
[He looks to the tree. Rafiki has disappeared]
Timon : Hey, what's goin' on here? Who's the monkey?
Nala : Simba's gone back to challenge Scar.
Timon : Who?
Nala : Scar.
Pumbaa : Who's got a scar?
Nala : No, no, no, it's his uncle.
Timon : The monkey's his uncle?

Timon : Hey! What's goin' on here?
-
Nala : Wait till everyone finds out you've been here all this time. And your mother, what will she think?
Adult Simba : She doesn't have to know. Nobody has to know.
Nala : Of course they do. Everyone thinks you're dead.
Adult Simba : They do.
Nala : Yeah. Scar told us about the stampede.
Adult Simba : He did? What else did he tell you?
Nala : What else matters? You're alive. And that means, you're the king.
Timon : King? Lady, have you got your lions crossed!

Timon : Friend?
Adult Simba : Yeah. Hey, Pumbaa, come over here.

Pumbaa : Please to make your acquaintance.
Nala : The pleasure is all mine.
Timon : How do you do?
-
Timon : [to Pumbaa] It's not gravel, it's grovel. And don't! He's not the king.
[to Simba]
Timon : Are you?
Adult Simba : No.
Nala : Simba!
Adult Simba : No, I'm not the king. Maybe I was gonna be, but that was a long time ago.
