  Pumbaa : Sorry.

  Timon : Anywho... . Rescuing Simba was a cinch. Then came the real scary part:

  [dramatic music] 

  Timon : Parenthood.

• Timon : [singing along to opening of "The Lion King"]  What's on the menu? It could be ceviche. It's stinky. Ooh it's Pumbaa.

  Timon : Yes, Pumbaa. Well, enough of that.

  [fast forwards film with his remote] 

  Pumbaa : Uhh, Timon, what are you doing?

  Pumbaa : But everyone's gonna get confused.

  [picks up his own remote and rewinds film] 

  Pumbaa : We gotta go back to the beginning of the story.

  Timon : [fast forwarding]  We're not *in* the beginning of the story.

  Pumbaa : [rewinding]  Yes we were, the whole time.

  Timon : [fast forwarding]  Yeah, but they don't know that.

  Pumbaa : [rewinding]  Then, why don't we tell them our story?

  [Film stops during the hyena attack; Timon and Pumbaa are spooked] 

  Timon : Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't we tell them our story?

  Pumbaa : Oh, I like the sound of that.

  Timon : Shenzi Marie Predatora Veldetta Jacquelina Hyena... . would you do me the honor of becoming... . my bride?

  Shenzi : I don't think so!

  Timon : Shenzi Marie, please. I know what you're thinking: "We're too different." "It'll never work." "What will the children look like?"

  Shenzi : Ooh, that violates so many laws of nature.

  Timon : Listen to me! The problems of a couple of wacky kids like us don't amount to hill of termites in this nutty circle-of-life thing. And so I ask you: If not now, when? If not me, who? I'm lonely.

  Pumbaa : Can I be your best man?

  Banzai : I say we skip the wedding, and go straight to the buffet!

• Pumbaa : What exactly did he say?

• Timon : I'm Timon.

  Pumbaa : Pumbaa.

  Timon : No, really.

• Pumbaa : Good night.

  Timon : Sleep tight.

  Timon : That's it. No more fortune-cookies for you!

• [Pumbaa, Timon, and Simba are all in a bubbling water hole] 

  Simba : Three pals and no worries, what more could you want?

  [all sigh relaxingly] 

  Pumbaa : [yawns]  Ah, I'm bushed.

  [while getting out of water hole] 

  Pumbaa : I think I'll turn in for the night.

  [bubbles stop] 

  Timon : I'm out!

  Simba : Right behind ya!

  Pumbaa : Oh, sorry. I thought it was a brownie.

• Timon : So, that's your special power?

  Pumbaa : You mean, you don't mind?

  [Timon and Pumbaa stare at her blankly] 

  Nala : [sighs]  You guys want me to go over it again?

  Timon : Yes please, but be a dear and skip to the part about Simba. Not that your childhood wasn't fascinating!

  Nala : OK. Look, Simba's the rightful king, but after he disappeared, Scar proclaimed himself the king and formed an alliance with the hyenas...

  Pumbaa : [Thinks]  Poor Simba. The treachery, the villainy, the SURE INDESCRIBABLE HORROR!

  Timon : [Thinks]  Blah blah blah! WHY IS SHE TOYING WITH US? AAH! THIS CRAZY CHICK IS GONNA EAT US!

  Nala : [continues to explain]  ... So Simba has to go back to challenge his uncle and reclaim his place as king!

  [Silence; Nala doesn't get a reaction from Timon or Pumbaa] 

  Nala : [frustrated]  Ohh... don't you get it? Simba NEEDS us! NOW!

  [runs off into the jungle] 

• Timon : It's as if you have some special power.

  Pumbaa : Uh, special power? well, it's pretty powerful.

• Timon : [singing] 

  [from the movie] 

  Timon : Luau! If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meet / Eat my buddy, Pumbaa, here 'cause he's a... .

  Timon : Let's just cut to the chase, shall we?

  Pumbaa : Oh, okay.

  Timon , Pumbaa : AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

• [At Simba's presentation ceremony]
