SEQ. 3:
(DAY WITH DAD)TIME PASSAGE MONTAGE
Glimmering in the sunlight then darkening as the sky clouds over. It starts to rain.
A FLAT PLAIN rain drenches the land. LIGHTNING FLASHES.
DISTANT MOUNTAINS the storm moves over the hills and plains, casting shadows.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. PRIDE ROCK - PRE-DAWN - MONTHS LATER
In the distance, Pride Rock in its pre-dawn splendor. Simba, now a full-grown cub, trots into:
SFX:
SNORINGSimba, barely able to contain his excitement, bounds over to his sleeping parents, bumping affectionately against his father.
SIMBA:
Hey, Dad. Wake up! Dad!
Mufasa doesn't respond. Simba presses on, nudging his Dad. He tugs on Mufasa's ear and falls off, landing with an "Ooff!"
SIMBA:
Dad-Dad-Dad-Dad-Dad-Dad-Dad --
SARABI:
Your son is awake.
MUFASA:
Before sunrise, he's your son.
Simba pulls on Mufasa's tail and gets gently swatted out of frame. He runs in and head butts Mufasa:
SIMBA:
You promised!
Mufasa pops open one eye.
MUFASA:
Okay, okay. I'm up. I'm up.
SIMBA:
All-right!
Simba trots off. Mufasa immediate,!у EXHALES into sleep. Sarabi CLEARS HER THROAT and nudges Mufasa.
SARABI:
Hon-ey --
She nudges him HARD. His eyes pop open.
MUFASA:
Okay! Okay!
PRIDE ROCK LONG SHOT - MINUTES LATER
Simba exits the cave, followed by his parents. He trots ahead then runs back to his mother. Sarabi gently nuzzles him and gives him a little push on his way.
Sarabi watches proudly as Mufasa and Simba head up Pride Rock.
Mufasa and Simba look out over the Pride lands as the sun crests the far horizon, shooting yellow beams across the vast expanse.
MUFASA:
Simba, look:
Everything the light touches is our kingdom.Simba's eyes follow the horizon and grow wide.
SIMBA:
Wow.
As Simba moves around the plateau to survey his kingdom, we see the vistas he sees.
MUFASA (V.O)
A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day the sun will set on my time here and will rise with you as the new king.
SIMBA:
And this will all be mine?
MUFASA:
Everything.
SIMBA:
in awe
Everything the light touches,
scanning horizon
What about that shadowy place?
MUFASA:
That's beyond our borders. You must never go there, Simba.
SIMBA:
But I thought a king can do whatever he wants.
MUFASA:
There's a lot mоrе to being king than getting your way all the tine.
Mufasa exits the shot. Simba follows.
SIMBA:
wide-eyed
There's more?
MUFASA:
cautionary
Well, Simba --
