BUNGA: Um, how you doin' Muhimu? Muhimu? Everything okay?

HAMU: (HIGH-PITCHED NEIGH)

BUNGA: Hey, that's pretty good! You made your voice sound just like a... A baby! Your baby! It's here!

MUHIMU: Oh, it's a boy.

BOTH: Whoa.

BUNGA: Wow. Look at that. He's pretty cute. Does he do anything?

MUHIMU: Like what?

BUNGA: I dunno. Like play? Or tell jokes?

HAMU: (NEIGHING)

CHEEZI: Ha! Did you hear that?

JANJA: Yeah. Sounded like a snack! A whole pack of snacks! A snack pack!

(CHUCKLING)

CHEEZI: That's not all, Janja. Kion and Bunga are down there, too!

JANJA: So what? When we run in, they're gonna protect the baby. But the big zebras and the gazelle are gonna panic and run.

CHEEZI: Oh yeah!

(LAUGHING)

CHUNGU: Zebras always do that!

JANJA: And then we can pick 'em off without even thinkin'!

CHUNGU: Without thinking? Good! That's how we do everything!

(LAUGHING)

JANJA: Oh, fur Brains! Gather round,

I have a plan.



IMARA: Zira! Zira!

ZIRA: Imara, what is it?

IMARA: Three hyenas are gonna steal our pray!

ZIRA: WHAT?! You're sure?

IMARA: That's right. And they're about to eat our food before us!

ZIRA: All right, I'm on my way. Don't let them eat anything else until I get down there.

IMARA: Yes Zira.

BUNGA: That was really cool, but a little loud. Not your fault, you're weren't born yet when Kion told us to be quiet, but...

JANJA: Okay, zebras! Better run! 'Cause here we come!

SWALA & ZEBRAS: Hyenas! (SCREAMS)

ZEBRAS: Panic and run! Panic and run!

KION: No! That's just what they want! We have to stick together! Circle around Muhimu and the baby! Now!

MUHIMU: Everyone! Stop running and listen to Kion!

KION: Thanks. Now circle up!

JANJA: What's the matter, zebras? Not gonna run? Don't we scare you?

CHEEZI: Whoo!

CHUNGU: Oogie boogie boogie!

HYENAS: (LAUGHING)

KION: Forget it, Janja. We're not making it easy for you. You'll have to deal with all of us.

JANJA: Our pleasure. (GROWLING)

BUNGA: Zuka zama!

CHUNGU: (GRUNTING)

ZEBRAS: (BRAYING)

KION: Janja, time for you to g...

JANJA: (GROWLING)

MUHIMU'S SON: (BRAYING)

JANJA: Hmm? Ooh!

HYENAS: (YELLING) Oof!

KION: (GROWLING) Beat it, Janja!

JANJA: Yeah, yeah. I don't even like zebra, anyway!

CHUNGU: Yeah, it's too chewy!

CHEEZI: Yeah, and too... stripy!

FEMALE ZEBRA: Hey!

ZIRA: Well, well, well, If it isn't Janja, Chungu & Cheezi trying to steal our food, don't you?!




SHABAHA: I'll say we'll give those jokers a piece of our minds!

LIONESSES: (GROWLING)


JANJA: (GULPS) Oh boy.

MUHIMU: Bunga, did you see him? He kicked that hyena! He saved my life!

BUNGA: I don't know much about babies, but that's a pretty cool kid you've got there.

HAMU: (BRAYING)

ONO: All present and accounted for! The Mbali Fields migration is officially over!

KION: Nothing went the way we thought it would, but we still got everyone here safe.

FULI: And that's what counts.

BESHTE: We even added one.

HAMU: (BRAYING)

BESHTE: Welcome to the Circle of Life.

HAMU: (BRAYING)

BUNGA: You said it, baby!

LION GUARD: (LAUGHING)

BUNGA: Zuka Zama!

Another Cub

{Thunder and wind. The camera passes some calmly grazing antelope; we close on Rafiki's tree.}

RAFIKI: Asante sana
Squash banana
We we nugu
Mi mi apana!

{We see he is painting on the trunk of the tree: a new cub, with the ceremonial mark across the forehead, next to the old drawing of Simba}

{laughs} Ahh, Kiara...

{Wind blows Rafiki's hair wildly, signifying Mufasa's presence}

Ooh, Mufasa! Such a day this has been! Princess Kiara's birth... another Circle of Life is complete, and the Pride's future is once again secure.

{Wind blows at the paintings, scattering some of the markings}

Aaah! Stop it, stop it, stop it! Mufasa-- look what you are doing! The Circle is broken now. Why do you--

{He pauses, understanding}

Ooh... there is trouble in the Pride Lands. {he looks toward the edge of the painting, at a rough black lion figure} There is another cub? Hmm... where could this be? {realization comes to him with a puff of wind} In the Outlands...

{Camera switches to the Outlands, slowly zooming in. The landscape is a barren desert, with strange rock formations everywhere. Rafiki's voice continues in a narrative.}

But that is where Simba banished Scar's followers. Including his most loyal... Zira.

{An insect lands on the ground; immediately, Kovu appears, pouncing.}

KOVU: Rrrah!

{Kovu opens his paws to reveal the insect, buzzing; he smiles and opens his paws, releasing it to fly away.}

ZIRA: Kovu!

{Camera switches to Zira, who is supervising. She snatches the insect from the air and smashes it to the ground.}

Don't let it go. What's the matter with you?

KOVU: But Mother! He wasn't hurting anyone--

ZIRA: There is no room for weakness here, my son. Remember... Scar took you in and accepted you as his own son.

{Zira has moved close and pulled Kovu against her. Kovu seems doubtful.}

KOVU: But he wasn't my father.

ZIRA: No... but he chose you to become the next King. When you rule, we shall no longer be forced to live in these dry, barren, disgusting, pathetic, termite-infested Outlands!

{Zira is swatting at the ground, railing against fate. Kovu looks down, in quiet agreement. Suddenly, Nuka and Vitani come bounding in from off-screen, fighting to be the first back with the news.}

NUKA and VITANI: Mother! Mother! Mother!

{Nuka and Vitani are speaking over one another, trying to get the first word in.}

NUKA: We were there-- in the Pride Lands. We saw the whole thing!

VITANI: At Pride Rock. We saw everything!

NUKA and VITANI: We saw Simba's cub!

ZIRA: What? Vitani-- what did you see?

VITANI: Simba's new cub is a girl!

ZIRA: A girl! {laughs} Scar, my beloved... did you hear that? This couldn't be more perfect.

NUKA: Who's she talking to?

VITANI: Ssshhh. Scar.

NUKA: {gasps} Where? Where?

VITANI: Scar's dead... genius.

ZIRA: Yes! Because of Simba... if not for him, Scar would still be King. And I, Zira-- his loving, devoted Queen!

NUKA: You know, speaking of kings... I was thinking since I am the oldest... maybe I should be King! Huh?

ZIRA: Uh? Don't be a fool, Nuka.

NUKA: Heh heh... just a thought.

{Nuka has rolled over subserviently on his back.}

ZIRA: Kovu is the chosen one. We must fulfill Scar's dying wish, and train Kovu to become King.

NUKA: Oh... yeah.... oh, yeah. I can do that!

{Zira climbs up on a rock point to gaze out over the land with Kovu. The others follow.}

ZIRA: Look... at the Pride Lands, my son. So green... so inviting. That is our home... that is where we belong. And soon, my beloved Scar... we shall reclaim your kingdom.

Kiara's First Hunt

{Simba moves surreptitiously over to Timon and Pumbaa.}

SIMBA: {quietly} Make sure she doesn't get hurt.

{Timon and Pumbaa begin humming in a show of nonchalance, and sidle away off the rock until they drop over the side and out of view.}

ZAZU: Sire, you promised her!

SIMBA: Well Zazu, Sometimes I feel that is better to break a promise to protect those you love. Don't you agree?

ZAZU: Never, sire! A promise ought to be kept. You promised the young mistress that she could hunt in her own!

SIMBA: Zazu? Don't you what happened some years ago?

ZAZU: That was when she was a cub. Now she's a grown lioness- She can hold on her own against any those lowlife, malnourished outsiders!

SIMBA: Grown lioness or not, I shall see to it that my daughter is kept safe and sound.

ZAZU: Oh sire, do watch your paw steps. You can't treat an adult like a child. you'll regret it if you won't let her do it on her on!

The Scene where camera back to Timon and Pumbaa

TIMON: Kiara! Kiara, where are you! Kiara!

PUMBAA: Kiara! Kiara, are you in there?! Kiara?

{Fire toward Timon and Pumbaa}

TIMON AND PUMBAA: AAAAAHHHH! Let's get outta here!!

{Meanwhile back to Pride Rock}

ZAZU: Don't worry, Simba. She'll be fine. What could happen?

{Simba and Nala looks up and gasps as he sees the smoke rising.}

NALA: Zazu, I think you spoke too soon!

SIMBA: No... no! Kiara! {he turns to Zazu} Zazu! Fly ahead. Find her!

ZAZU: Right away, sire!

An Unwelcome Stranger

{Scene switch. Kovu is attempting to teach stealth to Kiara.}

KIARA: So... where do we begin?

KOVU: I'd like to see what good you are first.

KIARA: But shouldn't you show me first?

KOVU: In life. You learn something after you take the test. Now... let's see how stealthy you are. Pretend that I'm your ga- er... I mean, prey. You try to pounce on me. Okay?

KIARA: Mmm... okay.

{We hear Kiara saying "Ow" in the underbrush a few times; Kovu is smiling bemusedly to himself.}

KOVU: Okay, whenever you're ready.

KOVU: {anticipating the pounce} Three... two... {rolls his eyes} one... {he ducks}

KIARA: Gotcha!

{Kiara leaps full over Kovu's evasion and tumbles over on the ground. Kovu steps over to her head, looking down at her.}

KIARA: {slightly embarrassed} You could hear me... huh?

KOVU: Only... a lot.

KOVU: You're still breathing too hard. Relax... feel the earth under your paws... so it doesn't shift and make noise. {Kiara follows his example. A flock of birds interrupts them, alighting beyond a nearby hill} Ssshh. Watch the master... and learn.

{Kovu runs silently down into a gully, then up the other side. Leaping over the ridgetop, he pounces with claws fully extended right down on top of Timon, who is foraging for bugs there.}

TIMON: Aaaahhhh!

{Kovu freezes in the position in which he hits the ground, with his mouth open; he skids to a halt with Timon between his forelegs.}

TIMON: Don't eat me! Please! I... I... I never really met your tyrant. I mean, uh-- Scar. Scar. Oh, heck of a guy. A little moody, but, I...

KIARA: Timon! What are you doing here?

TIMON: Kiara! Thank goodness! Ohh!

MA: Hi Kiara.

UNCLE MAX: Your majesty.

TIMON: Hey... for once, we're not following ya. This just happens to be the best smorgasbord in the Pride Lands. Bugs everywhere! {he indicates the field of bugs, with the flock of birds eating contentedly away} But, you don't call for a reservation, and-- 



UNCLE MAX: Don't mess with those birds Timon, they're a cold-blooded monster from across the Pride Lands! One day we'll turn our backs-- they'll be picking us out of their teeth. Things like that eat things like us as snacks!

TIMON: Yeesh! {turning toward the birds} Get outta here, ya scavengers. Go on! Shoo! Shoo!

{Timon tries to scare away the birds; he waves his arms at one unconcerned bird, who bites Timon's nose.}

TIMON: {in pain, nose glowing red} Oh!... oh!... oh.

{Pumbaa rushes down the hill, and back up, scattering birds, who come back to land right where they were. Kiara watches with amusement, Kovu with bewilderment. Camera switches back to Pumbaa, who is standing with a dozen or so birds sitting on his back.}

PUMBAA: Ohh... Timon, I'm getting tired. I gotta lose some pounds!

TIMON: {trying to scare the birds off Pumbaa} Shoo! Go on! Shoo! Shoo!

{Kiara and Kovu trot back down the hill, Kiara laughing.}

PUMBAA:    Hey! Maybe he can help. Ya think?

TIMON: Shoo! {he manages to scare the last bird off Pumbaa's tail} Oh! Yeah... there's an idea. Right. Let the vicious Outsider-- Hey! Wait! I have an idea! {he jumps down off of Pumbaa} What if he helps?

PUMBAA: What?

TIMON: {to Kovu} You wanna lend a voice? Huh? {not getting through to him} Grrr. Guh... Roar! Work with me!

MA: {to Kovu} Listen to Timon, Kovu.  Let the lioness shows how it works.

KIARA: Like this. {she roars, scattering the birds}

TIMON: Wooo hoo! C'mon, do it again! Do it again!

{Kovu roars this time, sending the birds into a rout.}

TIMON:    Yee-haa!

{Kiara and Kovu run down the hill, sending birds flying in every direction. Kovu is still clueless.}

KOVU: Why are we doing this? What's the point of this training?

KIARA: {laughing} Training? This is just for fun!

KOVU: {as though he's never heard the word before} Fun?

{Timon and Pumbaa run by; Timon is hanging on to a bird's leg, getting carried up into the air.}

TIMON: Ya gotta get out more often. Fun! Yee-Haa! Haha haha... Woo-hoo!

KOVU: {slowly getting the idea} Yeee-Haa! Yee-Haa!

{The group runs down between a row of rocks; it is blocked at the end by a number of rhinos.}

KOVU: Yeeeee-Haaa!

{They notice the rhinos and come skidding to a halt; they notice the birds all sitting on top of the rhinos' heads.}

KIARA: Uh-oh.

BIRDS: {thhhpppbbt!}

{The lions, Ma, Uncle Max, Timon, and Pumbaa turn tail and run back the way they came; the rhinos are in hot pursuit.}

TIMON: {to Pumbaa, as Pumbaa turns a corner using the edge of a small overhang} Hey rhino!

{The lions turn sideways into a crevice in the rocks, where they hide while the rhinos pass by. They're laughing with delight as the camera trucks in.}

MA: Wasn't that fun?

KOVU: What a blast!

PUMBAA: Oh... sorry.

TIMON: {giving Kovu a noogie} You're okay, kid...

KOVU: {to Timon, caught off guard} Hey!

TIMON: ...You're okay.

UNCLE MAX: You almost got us all killed!

{They now try to squeeze out of the crevice. Amid "'Scuse me, pardon me" from Timon, Kiara's muzzle brushes up against Kovu's. They look at each other, both quite embarrassed.}

KIARA: Um... s-sorry-- uh...

KOVU: I've never done anything like this before! So... this is fun. Those two are an interesting pair.

KIARA: Why they're my dad's best friends- Timon and Pumbaa. And these are Timon's Family- Ma and Uncle Max.

PUMBAA: Pleased to meet your acquaintance!

KOVU: Uh... Nice to meet you too. Hey Timon, if you need to chase away a bunch of pesky birds, I'm your lion.

TIMON: Deal.

{Timon and Pumbaa have extricated themselves and are some way up the pathway.}

TIMON: Hey! Are you two comin' or what?

{The lions walk-off, side by side and laughing. Purrs soon mix with their laughter.}


Upendi

{Scene switch; Kiara and Kovu are slapped each other's paws.)

KIARA: Well, that was fun, wasn't it?

KOVU: Yeah. I guess I've never done anything like it before.

KIARA: So, tell me- why did you leave the Outsiders?

KOVU: Oh, well, I--

KIARA: Yes?

KOVU: Well, what happened was this- I had a change of heart. I felt that the Outsiders weren't worth living with. You know that you can't turn your back on them, right?

KIARA: Uh-huh.

KOVU: My mother ... has this way of dealing with things. She's a psychopath. Dangerous. Bent on killing anything.

KIARA: And you didn't like that?

KOVU: Nope. I thought it was mean and disgusting. So I left her and her pride. In secret. I guess they're looking for me now. But they can't find me. I'll be safe with you guys! Won't I?

KIARA: If you follow my dad's rule and not get into trouble, we'll protect you.

KOVU: Thanks, Princess.

KIARA: You're welcome. Hey, can we be friends?

KOVU: Sure! Let's be friends.

{Scene switch; Kiara and Kovu are lying on their backs, watching the clouds and giggling.}

KOVU: See that? See that? Look at that! It's really pretty.

KIARA: What? Oh yeah! Um-- look... there's one that looks like a baby rabbit. See the fluffy tail?

KOVU: Yeah... hey! There's one that looks like two lions killing each other for a scrap of meat!

{Kovu laughs; this isn't Kiara's cup of tea, and she grimaces.}

KOVU: Ah, I've never done this before.

KIARA: Really? My father and I used to do this all the time. He says all the great Kings of the past are up there.

KOVU: You think Scar is up there?

{They look at each other; Kovu gets up and moves off.}

KOVU: No one here thinks he's very great... do they? He wasn't my father, but he was still... {he sighs gently} part of me.

KIARA: My father said there was a... darkness in Scar that he couldn't escape.

KOVU: Maybe there's a darkness in me too.

{Kiara puts her paw on Kovu's, and they nuzzle. The camera tracks back, and we see Simba watching from a hill some distance away. He addresses the sky.}

SIMBA: Father... I am lost. Kovu is one of them. Scar's heir. How can I accept him?

{Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa approaches from behind.}



NALA: Simba?

SIMBA: Nala...

NALA: Simba, why aren't you asleep? What happened?

SIMBA: I was... Seeking counsel from the great kings.

NALA: Did they help?

SIMBA: {sighs} Silent as stars. My father would never--

NALA: Oh, Simba... you want so much to walk the path expected of you. Perhaps Kovu does not.

SIMBA: {surprised} What? How do you know that--

NALA: {chuckles} I can see them down there just as easily as you can. Get to know them and see.

TIMON: Well, I predicted the future about Kovu did learn about the circle of life instead of killing the pride, cause Kovu's love more than hates

{They turn and walk off; after a moment of hesitation, Simba follows. The camera moves back down to Kiara and Kovu. She is nuzzling him, but he pulls away clearing his throat.}

VITANI Reports Back To ZIRA And The OUTSIDERS

(VITANI is speaking to herself. She sees Simba take Kovu into the cavern.)

{Vitani watches from a distance as the two lions make their way back into the cavern.}

VITANI: {hushed, to herself} Get him! What are you waiting for? Kovu, get him!

{She lies down and stares with despair as she realizes Kovu is not going to attack Simba.}

VITANI: He didn't get him. {disappointed, and, somewhat heartbroken, She hisses and jumps up, rushing back to report to Zira. Scene changes back to Zira's location.}

VITANI: Mother! We've got a problem.

ZIRA: Vitani! What is it? Tell me? Did Kovu attack Simba?

VITANI: No!

ZIRA: WHAT?! {snarling}

NUKA: I knew that good for nothing termite wouldn't do--

ZIRA: Quite! You're sure?

VITANI: Affirmative. I saw it with my own eyes.

ZIRA: Kovu cannot betray us!

NUKA: If Kovu didn't attack, then I will!

ZIRA: Nuka, calm down. We have a back-up plan, remember? {to the lionesses} My friends, we must implement our Plan B- the ambush!

(The OUTSIDERS rise and walk to the Pridelands.)

ZIRA: Remember your training. We will not let Simba live, no matter what! Come on now!

NUKA: At last, I will have the honor of killing that despicable sim--!

VITANI: Oh, shut up!

{Fade to black.}

Deception and Disgrace

{Reopen on Pride Rock, with Kovu walking out onto the promontory.}

KOVU: Okay-- I have to tell her today. Oh... where do I start? "Kiara... Zira had a plot-- and I was part of it. But I don't wanna be, because-- it's because I love you. {sighs} Oh, she'll never believe me. But I gotta try.

{He goes into the cavern, where Kiara and Simba are waking up.}

KOVU: Kiara... I need to talk to you.

SIMBA: {sternly} Kiara... I don't want you talking with him. {softening} I want to talk with him.

{Kiara's face brightens; Simba winks at her, and he and Kovu go out onto the promontory and down onto the savannah. Scene switch to where they are walking through the newly burnt section of the Pride Lands.}

KOVU: So...

SIMBA: Did you sleep well last night?

KOVU: I did, yeah.

SIMBA: Well, I'm glad you were comfortable. And I can see that you really like spending time with Kiara.

KOVU: I do, Simba. You Pridelanders aren't all that bad after all.

SIMBA: "All that bad"? You're kidding. Is that what you thought about us?

KOVU: That's what I was trained to think about you. But Simba, I wanna ask you something-- it's... It's about Scar.

SIMBA: Go on. I'm listening.

KOVU: As far as I've been told, Scar wanted to rule the Pridelands, and, in spite of his obvious capabilities, he was denied his chance. He had to take the throne by force. My mother says that you killed Scar, but... To be honest, you don't seem like a killer. Can you tell me the truth about Scar? Did you really kill Scar?

SIMBA: No.

KOVU: What?!

SIMBA: I did not kill Scar. The Hyenas did.

KOVU: Hyenas, you mean like Jasiri?

SIMBA: You know her?

KOVU: Oh, I'll tell you the whole story later.

SIMBA: Scar allied with a clan of hyenas to take over the Pride Lands. His greed caused him to hate his own brother, my father, Mufasa, and his own nephew, me. 

KOVU: Okay... This is very different from what I'd heard.

SIMBA: I actually don't know what happened to him. All I told him to do was to run away and never return. He turned around and attacked me. I defended myself by using a special kick that Nala taught me. All I saw was that he flew off the cliff, and landed on the ground unconscious. I was told by some of the lionesses that they saw the hyenas gathering together at the bottom of the cliff, and they say that Scar was eaten by the hyenas. I didn't kill him. Never wanted to.

KOVU: Oh... So, my mother was wrong?

SIMBA: Yes. Scar murdered my father and tried to kill me twice when I was just a cub.

KOVU: When you were a cub? But that's so... Cruel.

SIMBA: However, he failed to get me.

KOVU: Oh...

SIMBA: Scar was lazy, and far from his ideas as a king. Yet his hate for me and my father moved him to try and kill both of us.

KOVU: But you escaped.

SIMBA: I did. but when Scar did become king, he failed to fulfill the promises of food and water he'd made to the hyenas--- and when I came to confront him, he betrayed them.

KOVU: Scar was a liar, wasn't he?

SIMBA: Yes. The hyenas had their revenge though. Scar couldn't let go of his hate... and in the end, it destroyed him.

KOVU: I've... never heard the story of Scar that way. He truly was a killer.

SIMBA: Fire is a killer. Sometimes, what's left behind can grow better than the generation before...

{He puts his paw down and raises some dust; when he lifts it, a young plant is there. The two lions lean down, head to head.}

SIMBA: ...If given the chance.

{The Outsiders all snarl and roar in reply. Scene switch back to Pride Rock, where Simba is just waking up.}

KIARA: Daddy... it can't be true.

{Camera shifts down to the valley floor, where the animals are all gathered.}

CHEETAH: Hey!

GIRAFFES: It's Kovu.

RANDOM ANIMALS: Look at that scar... I can't believe he's here. That's Kovu?

KIARA: Kovu!

{Simba snarls and jumps forward, cutting her off. Kovu approaches down the narrow aisle between the congregated animals.}

RANDOM ANIMALS: I never trusted him... It's the Outsider... it's that little troublemaker...

TIMON: Why I oughtta... let me at 'im! Let me at 'im! {to Pumbaa} Here; hold me back.

PUMBAA: Okay!

TIMON: {held back by the tail} Let me at 'im! Let me at 'im!

PUMBAA: Okay! {he lets go of Timon's tail}

TIMON: {lurching forward; turning back to Pumbaa} I think you're missing the basic point here.

PUMBAA: Uh...

RANDOM ANIMALS: What's he doing here?... He doesn't belong here... Look at that scar on his face... He looks just like Scar...

SIMBA: Why have you come back?

KOVU: Simba... I had nothing to do with--

SIMBA: You don't belong here.

KOVU: Please... I ask your forgiveness.

KIARA: Daddy, please... listen to him!

SIMBA: {to Kiara} Silence! {to Kovu} When you first came here, you asked for judgment...

RANDOM ANIMALS: Give him what he deserves!

SIMBA: ...And I pass it now.

RANDOM ANIMALS: Kick him out! That's right! Judgment day is here!

SIMBA: Exile!

KIARA: No!

RANDOM ANIMALS: Exile him! Exile! Exile!

KIARA: No! ...Kovu!

{Kovu is driven from Pride Rock at horn point.}

Evil as plain as the scar on his face

HIPPO: He asked for trouble the moment he came
ANIMALS: (See you later, agitator!)

ANIMALS: Born in grief
Raised in hate
Helpless to defy his fate
Let him run
Let him live
But do not forget
What we cannot forgive

And he is not one of us
He has never been one of us
He is not part of us
Not our kind

{Kovu is hounded from the Pride Lands. As he runs, he sees his reflection in a pool change to that of Scar.}

Someone once lied to us
Now we're not so blind
For we knew he would do what he's done
And we know that he'll never be one of us

ANTELOPE: He is not one of us

ANTELOPE: Deception
ZEBRA: Disgrace

{repeats}

{He wanders into the desert; the overlaid images are of Kiara weeping and of Simba's face turning away. Rafiki watches Kovu leave, from a distance.}

RAFIKI: Oooh...

{Scene switches back to Pride Rock. Simba is standing at the tip of the promontory, staring off into the distance.}

KIARA: Father... please reconsider!

SIMBA: You will not go anywhere without an escort from now on.

KIARA: No! That's not--

SIMBA: He used you to get to me!

KIARA: No! He loves me... for me!

SIMBA: Because you are my daughter! You will not leave Pride Rock. You will stay where I can keep an eye on you... away from him.

NALA: {surprised at his ferocity} Simba?

KIARA: You don't know him!

SIMBA: I know he's following in Scar's pawprints... and I must follow in my father's.

KIARA: You will never be Mufasa!

{Simba, Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa are stung but silenced... Kiara breaks down and runs back to her den to lie down, sobbing. She sees a stream of light shining through a hole in the wall. Determined, she pushes her way through the wall, then runs down away from Pride Rock, searching for Kovu.}

NALA: {glares at Simba} Simba! What did you do?

SARABI: {upset at Simba} Son, do you even hear yourself?

NALA: Do you realize what you're doing?

SIMBA: Kovu was out to get me!

SARABI: How can you be so sure that it was his fault?

SIMBA: The ambush!

NALA: Perhaps Kovu wasn't aware of an ambush!

ZAZU: Clearly sire, we must make better of a little something called, "sound judgment".

SARABI: Besides, Zira and her force operate stealthily. You may never know when they would attack.

NALA: And Kovu is still young...

SIMBA: Yes. Young... and dangerous.

NALA: Maybe, but only unless you had given him time. Do you remember what I'd told you that night?

ZAZU: May I just say that throughout the time Kovu has been with us, he had never raised a paw against us, princess Kiara. However, I do not wish to take aside.

{Simba sees Nala, Sarabi, his lionesses, and Zazu walking inside the den, then He's feeling guilty and sadness}

SIMBA: Oh, Father... What have I done? What have I done?

{Simba sees Timon & Pumbaa still there}

SIMBA: Pumbaa, Timon, make sure that Kiara stays in the den.

TIMON and PUMBAA: With pleasure.

{Timon & Pumbaa walking inside the den, but then sees Kiara gone!}

TIMON: C'mon Pumbaa!

PUMBAA: Wh- Why?

TIMON: We have to find her - again!

CONVERSATION 3: After "Love Will Find A Way"

Two butterflies flutter around Kovu and Kiara. Kovu brightens up at the sight of them, and laughing, rushes off after them, with Kiara in pursuit. They wrestled briefly, then catch sight of themselves in a reflection.}

KOVU: Hey, look... we are one. {he smiles at Kiara}

KIARA: {she smiles back, then realizes what Kovu just said and looks shocked} What?

KOVU: Let's get outta here. We'll run away together! And start a pride... all our own.

KIARA: {chuckles} Kovu... we have to go back.

KOVU: You're kidding. But we're finally together!

KIARA: Our place is with our pride. If we run away, they'll be divided forever.

{Kovu considers, but doesn't seem entirely convinced.}

KOVU: Kiara... I had something to tell you.

KIARA: Yes?

KOVU: I have trained my whole life to... kill your father...

KIARA: {gasp} What?!

KOVU: But I don't want to do it--- I don't want to be a part of my mother's plot.

KIARA: Oh, Kovu! Why didn't you tell me? {Kiara turns her back on Kovu.}

KOVU: Kiara--- listen to me--- if we're gonna go back, I'll fight for your father. I promise to always to be there for you and your family and friends... ...no matter what.

{Kiara cries.}

KOVU: Kiara... are you alright?

KIARA: {Kiara turns back to Kovu, crying} Kovu... to be honest, I'm proud of you for telling the truth. But we must go back if we want to talk sense to our parents.

KOVU: C'mon, let's go.

{They run off together.}

The Reunited Pride

{She and her two backup lionesses approach Simba, who is fighting off several enemies at once. The lionesses part, making way for Zira and Simba to fight one-on-one. Just as they are about to land the first blows, Kiara and Kovu leap into the scene, and stand between the two enemies.}

SIMBA: Kiara?

ZIRA: Kovu! {he stares at her, his eyes narrowing at her mention of his name} ...Move.

SIMBA: Stand aside.

KIARA: Daddy, this has to stop.

ZIRA: {to Kovu} You're even weaker than I thought. Get out of the way!

KOVU: You'll never hurt Kiara... or Simba. Not while I'm here.

ZIRA: {gasp}

SIMBA: Stay out of this!

KIARA: A wise King once told me, "We are one." I didn't understand what he meant... now I do.

SIMBA: But... they...

KIARA: Them... us. Look at them... they are us. What differences do you see? Aren't we all part of the Circle of Life?

{The river is rapidly rushing to fill the canyon. Simba leaps from rock face to rock face, trying to reach Kiara. Below, Zira hangs precariously from the rock face. Kiara is above on the ledge.}

KIARA: Zira! Give me your paw!

{Zira swipes at Kiara, growling. She slips further down the rock face; she glances at the tumbling water and logs below.}

ZIRA: Ahh... ahh...

KIARA: Zira, come on... I'll help you...

{She slides further down the rock wall, scrabbling for traction on the rock, but is unable to climb up. A change comes over Zira's face; she grins slowly up at Kiara.}

ZIRA: No. ...Never!

{She lets go and falls back-first into the churning water below. The water and logs carry her under, and the flow in the canyon gradually subsides.}

Stinger

{Pride Rock, night. The scene moves to Kovu, with his head bowed, depressed. Kiara approaches from behind.}

KIARA: Sorry about your mother, Kovu.

KOVU: You know, Scar didn't let go of his hate. My mother didn't either.

KIARA: Oh, If only Kion and his friends were here.

KOVU: You mean The Lion Guard? Oh, I met Kion.

KIARA: You do?

KOVU: I'll tell you the whole story. But first, where's Timon & Pumbaa?

{Outlands. Timon and Pumbaa are chowing down on bugs.}

PUMBAA: Hakuna Matata!

TIMON: Outlands, shmoutlands... this place is better than Disney Parks!

{A bug flies into shot and flits from side to side like Tinker-Bell in the traditional Disney transition-out sequence.}
