SIMBA

Isn t this a great place?

NALA

It is beautiful.

SIMBA

And there s lots more you haven t even seen yet.

NALA

Simba, I don t understand. You ve been alive all this time. Why didn t you come back to Pride Rock?

SIMBA

And leave paradise?

NALA

Simba, Scar let the hyenas take over the Pridelands!

SIMBA

What?!?

NALA

Everything s destroyed. There s no food, no water. If we go back together, we can do something about it.

SIMBA

I can t go back.

NALA

Why?

SIMBA

It doesn t matter. Hakuna matata.

NALA

What?

SIMBA

Hakuna matata . It s something I learned out here. Look, sometimes bad things happen and there s nothing you can do about it. So why worry?

NALA

What s happened to you? You re not the Simba I remember.

SIMBA

You re right. I m not. Are you satisfied?!?

NALA

No. Just disappointed.

SIMBA

You know, you re beginning to sound like my father.

NALA

Good! At least one of us does!
