Bad back, you know.

Hey, Uncle Scar? When I'm king, what will that make you?

A monkey's uncle.

Heh heh. You're so weird.

You have no idea. ...

So, your father showed you the whole kingdom, did he?

Everything.

He didn't show you what's beyond

that rise at the northern border...?

Well, no... he said I can't go there.

And he's absolutely right!

It's far too dangerous. Only the bravest lions go there.

Well, I'm brave! What's out th--

"No, I'm sorry Simba; I just can't tell you."

Why not?

"Simba, Simba; I'm only looking out for

the well-being of my favorite nephew."

"Yeah, right; I'm your only nephew."

All the more reason for me to be protective...

The elephant graveyard is no place for the young prince ... Whoops!

The elephant what? Whoa!

Oh dear, I've said too much....

Well, I suppose you'd have found out sooner or later,

you being so clever and all....

Oh, just do me one favor--

Promise me you'll never visit that dreadful place.

No problem.

There's a good lad. You run along now and have fun.

And remember... it's our little secret.

Hey, Nala.

Hi, Simba.

Come on. I just heard about this great place.

Simba! I'm kind of in the middle of a bath.

And it's time for yours.

Mom! ... Mom. You're messing up my mane.

"Okay, okay; I'm clean. Can we go now?"

So where are we going? It better not be anyplace dumb.

No. It's really cool.

"So where is this ""really cool"" place?"

Oh.... uh ... around the water hole.

The water hole?! What's so great about the water hole?

I'll show you when we get there.

Oh.... Uh.... Mom, can I go with Simba?

Hmm... What do you think, Sarabi?

Well...

Pleeeease?

It's all right with me....

All right!

...As long as Zazu goes with you.

No! Not Zazu.

Step lively. The sooner we get to the water hole, the sooner we can leave.

So where're we really going?

The elephant graveyard.

Wow!

Shhh! Zazu.

Right. So how are we gonna ditch the dodo?

Oh I know how we can--

Oh, just look at you two.

Little seeds of romance blossoming in the savannah.

Your parents will be thrilled...

what with your being betrothed and all.

Be-what?

Betrothed. Intended. Affianced.

Meaning...?

One day you two are going to be married!

Yuck!

Ewww!

I can't marry her. She's my friend.

Yeah. It'd be too weird.

Well, sorry to bust your bubble, but you two turtle doves have no choice. It's a tradition...

...going back generations.

Well when I'm king, that'll be the first thing to go.
