SCAR
Zazu, why am I not loved?
I am that rare and awesome thing
I&`&m every inch a king
Yet I feel a twinge of doubt
As I go walk about
BANZAI
Hey, boss!
SCAR
When my name is whispered through the pride
Is this talk of love or regicide?
SHENZI
Reggie who?
SCAR
Tell me I&`&m adored
Please tell me I&`&m adored
BANZAI
Hey, boss!
SCAR
Oh, what is it?
BANZAI
We got a bone to pick with you
SHENZI
There&`&s no food, no water-
BANZAI
Yeah. It&`&s dinnertime, and there ain&`&t no stinkin&`& entrées!
SCAR
You and your petty complaints. You don&`&t know what real hunger is. Day
after day in gnaws at the very core of my being
BANZAI
I had that once. It was worms
SCAR
No, no, no...it&`&s like an itch...deep, presistant, profound...
BANZAI
That&`&s it - worms! When they get really bad all you gotta do is...hunker down and scoot
SCAR
Thanks for the tip. Ingrates! If it weren&`&t for me
you&`&d be beating off the buzzards for your next bite!
HYENAS
Yeah, you&`&re our savior, thanks a bunch
But how about some lunch?
It doesn&`&t matter if it&`&s fresh
I need a fix of flesh
My bones have moved to where they&`&ve never been
They&`&re on the outside looking in
SCAR
Are you blaming me?
BANZAI/SHENZI
Oh no, it&`&s the lionesses
HYENAS/ZAZU
You are so adored
Oh, you are so adored
SCAR
That&`&s more like it
HYENAS
But what I&`&d give for one more hit
Of wildebeest kielbasa
Or maybe hornbill on the spit...
ZAZU
Oh, how I miss Mufasa
SCAR
Mufasa?! Mufasa?! How dare you! I told you never to mention that name!
ZAZU
Note taken. I shall never mention "M-m-m" again
SCAR
Even in death, his shadow looms over me
There he is!
No! There he is!
And there!
ZAZU
Calm yourself, Sire, or you&`&ll get another one of your splitting headaches!
SCAR
I am perfectly fine!
I&`&m better than Mufasa was!
I&`&m revered
I am reviled
I&`&m idolized
I am despised
I&`&m keeping calm
I&`&m going wild!
I tell myself I&`&m fine
Yes I am, no you&`&re not
Yes I am, no you&`&re not
I tell myself I&`&m fine
No you&`&re not, yes I am, no you&`&re not
Yes I am
No you&`&re not
Yes, no, yes, no, who am I talknig to...?
ZAZU
Oh, pull yourself together, Sire!
SCAR
Oh, very well. Zazu? Zazu, Zazu, Zazu...?
ZAZU
Yes, Sire?
SCAR
Nobody loved me, there&`&s the rub, not even as a cub
What did my brother have that I don&`&t have?
ZAZU
Do you want the short list or the long?
SCAR
Whatever!
ZAZU
Well, he had adoring subjects...a loving family...a devoted queen...
SCAR
That&`&s it! I need a queen!
ZAZU
A what?
SCAR
A queen, man! A queen! Without a queen, what am I?
A dead end, no line, no decendants, no future!
With a queen, I&`&ll have cubs... Immortality will be mine! Immortality will be mine!
NALA
Scar
SCAR
Ah, Nala... Your timing couldn&`&t have been more perfect. My how you&`&ve grown
NALA
Scar, you have got to do something. We&`&re being forced to overhunt
SCAR
She&`&s got those assets feminine
NALA
You&`&re the king. Control the hyenas
SCAR
I have to make her mine
NALA
You&`&re detroying the Pridelands
SCAR
Nobility in every gene
NALA
If we stop now... Don&`&t you see...
SCAR
She has to be my queen
NALA
...there&`&s still a chance for things to be all right again...
SCAR
Come, sweet Nala
It&`&s written in the stars
NALA
What are you doing? Are you listening to me?
SCAR
We&`&ll create a host of little Scars
NALA
What are you talking about?
SCAR
Tell me I&`&m adored
NALA
Get away from me
SCAR
Tell me I&`&m adored
Oh, Nala...you know how I loathe violence...
One way or another, you will be mine
NALA
Never, Scar. Never!
SCAR
You belong to me
You all belong to me
