Scar
- [first lines]
- Scar: [to mouse] Life's - not fair - is it, my little friend? While some are born to feast - others spend their lives in the dark... begging for scraps. The way I see it, you and I are exactly the same, we both want to find a way out.
- Scar: This gorge is where all lions, come to find their roar.
- Young Simba: All lions, even my Dad?
- Scar: Even Mufasa came here when he was your age, refused to leave until his roar could be heard above the rim.
- Young Simba: All the way up there?
- Scar: That's when you know you've found it, with a little practice you'll never be called a cub again.
- Young Simba: Watch this.
- [does a small roar]
- Scar: You'll get it Simba, just takes time, I'll check on you later.
- Young Simba: Dad will be so proud, huh?
- Scar: It's a gift, he'll never forget.
- Simba: [attacks Scar after Scar admitted in to killing Mufasa] My father, your own brother - how could you!
- Scar: [to the hyenas and lionesses] First he kills Mufasa, and now he wants to kill me!
- Simba: YOU killed him! Tell them the truth!
- Scar: Don't believe his lies!
- Sarabi: Scar? You told us you didn't get to the gorge in time.
- Scar: That's true!
- Sarabi: [outraged] Then how did you see the look in Mufasa's eyes?
- [Scar growls]
- Simba: MURDERER!
- Scar: KILL THEM ALL!
- Scar: [notices the hyenas] My friends, it will take some time but together we will build our army.
- Kamari: Friends, huh. I thought you said we were revolting scavengers.
- Azizi: [angry] Yeah, and you wanted to kill us.
- Scar: No, no let me explain I was trying to fool him. We will rule together!
- Shenzi: There was only one true thing you ever said Scar, a hyenas belly is never full.
- Scar: NO!
- [Scar tries to fight off the hyenas but they all quickly pounce and maul him to death]
- Zazu: The king approaches! This is *not* a drill. His Majesty has requested an audience. Upon his entrance, you will rise and genuflect.
- Scar: Zazu... you've made me lose my lunch.
- Zazu: You will answer to Mufasa for missing the ceremony this morning.
- Scar: I answer to no one.
- Zazu: Scar? Scar! Scar, Scar, Scar, Scar, Scar, no! No, don't look at me like that.
- Scar: Are you hungry, Zazu? Perhaps--we could have a bite TOGETHER!
- [lunges at Zazu]
- Zazu: You can't eat me. It is forbidden to eat a member of the king's court!
- [Scar pins him to the ground]
- Zazu: Ow! Please! Stop it!
- Mufasa: [enters the den] Scar!
- Scar: [releases Zazu and faces his brother] Well, look who's come to mingle with the commoners.
- Mufasa: Sarabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba.
- Scar: Was that today? Must've slipped my mind. Of course, I meant no disrespect towards His Majesty or Sarabi. As you know, I have tremendous respect for the queen.
- Zazu: As the king's brother, you should've been first in line.
- Scar: I WAS first in line. Or don't you remember?
- [rises up and walks out of the den]
- Scar: That is, until the precious--prince arrived.
- Mufasa: Don't turn your back on *me*, Scar.
- Scar: Oh *no*, Mufasa; perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me.
- Mufasa: [roars and leaps in front of Scar, blocking his way] Is that a challenge?
- Scar: I wouldn't dream of challenging you... again.
- Zazu: A wise decision! You are no match for His Royalness.
- Scar: Well, as far as brains go, I've got the lion's share, but when it comes to brute strength, I'm afraid my big brother will always rule.
- Mufasa: Not *always*, Scar. One day, it will be my son who rules. Simba will be your king.
- Scar: Then long live the king.
- Mufasa: [watches his brother leave] What am I gonna do with him?
- Zazu: Oh, come on. We both know he should've been expelled from the Pride Lands long ago.
- Mufasa: He's my brother. Zazu. This is his home. As long as I am king, that will never change.
- Scar: You fools have stripped your land of every living thing. And yet, I sent two little cubs your way and they come back alive.
- Kamari: I guess we'll have to eat you instead.
- Scar: Why eat one meal when you could be feasting the rest of your lives.
- Shenzi: What could you possibly offer us?
- Scar: A place where you could fill your bellies. For everything the light touches is yours for the kill.
- Shenzi: The Pride Lands are not yours to give. The king controls those hunting grounds.
- Scar: That's why I'm going to kill him. Mufasa has always shown too much restraint when it comes to hunting. When I am king, the mighty will be free to take whatever they want. Because a hyena's belly is never full.
- Shenzi: Mufasa's far too powerful to challenge.
- Scar: Mufasa is yesterday's message A clapped out, distracted regime whose failings undoubtedly presage the need for a different dream.
- Simba: It's over, Scar.
- Scar: Have mercy on me.
- Simba: Mercy? For what you did.
- Scar: It was the hyenas. Those were the revolting, scavengers made me do it. I was planning on killing them all.
- Simba: You fooled the hyenas? Just like you fooled me.
- Scar: Simba, you wouldn't kill your only uncle.
- Simba: No, Scar. I'm not like you.
- Scar: Oh, Simba. You are truly noble, and I will make it up to you. Just tell me how I can prove myself. Tell me what you want me to do.
- Simba: Run... Run away, Scar. Run away, and never return.
- Scar: Yes. Of course... As you wish.
- [looking down and seeing a pile of hot coals, began to angry]
- Scar: Your majesty!
- [throws embers of fire at Simba's face]
- Scar: [to the hyenas] The way I see it, why eat one meal... when you can be feasting the rest of your lives? Are you hungry?
- Scar: Long, live...
- [Raises paws]
- Scar: THE KING!
- [Scar slaps Mufasa]
- Mufasa: [screams as he falls] Aaaa-aaaa-aaaahhhh!
- Young Simba: [cries out] No-oooo-oooo-oooo!
