On *the Past*
- (Simba burps off-screen)
- Timon: Whoa! Nice one, Simba.
- Simba: Thanks. Man, I'm stuffed.
- Pumbaa: Me too. I ate like a pig!
- Simba: Pumbaa, you are a pig.
- Pumbaa: Oh. Right.
- (all three sigh loudly)
- Pumbaa: Timon, ever wonder what those sparkly dots are up there?
- Timon: Pumbaa, I don't wonder; I know.
- Pumbaa: Oh. What are they?
- Timon: They're fireflies. Fireflies that, uh... got stuck up in that big bluish-black thing.
- Pumbaa: Oh, gee. I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away.
- Timon: Pumbaa, with you, everything's gas.
*****
- Pumbaa: What did you do, kid?
- Simba: Something terrible. I don't want to talk about it.
- Timon: Good, we don't wanna hear about it!
- Pumbaa: Come on, Timon. (to Simba) Anything we can do?
- Simba: Not unless you can change the past.
- Pumbaa: (trying to cheer him up) Kid, at times like this, my buddy Timon here says "You gotta put your behind in your past!"--
- Timon: No, no no!
- Pumbaa: I mean, uh--
- Timon: Amateur. Lie down, before you hurt yourself. (to Simba) It's "You gotta put your past behind you." Look, kid, bad things happen, and you can't do anything about it, right?
- Simba: Right.
- Timon: WRONG! "When the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world!"
- Simba: Well, that's not what I was taught.
- Timon: Then maybe you need a new lesson...
*****
- Simba: Going back means I'll have to face my past. I've been hiding from it for so long...
- (Rafiki whacks Simba on the head with his stick)
- Simba: OW! Geez, what was that for?!
- Rafiki: It doesn't matter! It's in the past! (chuckles)
- Simba: Yeah, but it still hurts.
- Rafiki: Oh, yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it.
- (Rafiki swings his stick, but Simba ducks)
- Rafiki: Aha! You see? So what are you going to do?
- Simba: Well first, I'm gonna take your stick. (grabs Rafiki's stick)
