SIMBA:

disoriented

I -- guess so.

PUMBAA:

You nearly died.

TIMON:

I saved you.

Pumbaa snorts at him.

TIMON:

TIMON:

adding

Well, Pumbaa helped. A little.

SIMBA:

Thanks for your help.

Simba gets up and starts to leave. Timon calls after him:

TIMON:

Hey, where ya goin'?

SIMBA:

Nowhere.

Simba looks forlorn as he walks away.

TIMON:

Gee. He looks blue.

PUMBAA:

I'd say brownish-gold.

TIMON:

No-no-no. I mean he's depressed.

PUMBAA:

Oh.

to Simba

TIMON:

elated

SIMBA:

TIMON:

An outcast. That's great! So're we!

PUMBAA:

SIMBA:

Something terrible. But I don't want to talk about it.

TIMON:

PUMBAA:

going to Simba

Ya know, kid, in times like this my buddy Timon here says: you gotta put your behind in your past.

confused

TIMON:

interrupting

No-no-no! Amateur! Lie down before you hurt yourself.

to Simba

It's:
You gotta put your past behind you. Ya know: take life one day at a time. No past, no future. Hakuna Matata!

SIMBA:

PUMBAA:

slowly

Ha-ku-na Ma-ta-ta.

explaining

It means "no worries."

TIMON:

testimonial

Yup. Two little words that'll change your life.

SIMBA:

Really?

TIMON:

Uh-huh. They changed mine.

SEQ. 9.1 (SONG:
"HAKUNA MATATA")

Out of nowhere, a bright spotlight shines on Timon. Very dramatically Timon talks his testimonial. Then segues into song where he demonstrates how he didn't conform with the meercat colony he lived in.

TIMON:

WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MEERCAT

PUMBAA:

WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG MEERCAT

TIMON:

I WAS WORKIN' IN THE COLONY PAYIN' MY DUES ACCEPTIN' WITHOUT QUESTION THE PREVAILING VIEWS THAT A MEERCAT'S LIFE WAS ONE LONG GRIND

PUMBAA:

THAT SOUNDS ROUGH

TIMON:

DIGGIN HOLES, STANDIN' GUARD TILl IT CROSSED MY MIND

TIMON PUMBAA:

I WAS WRONG:

(HE WAS WRONG)

AND ALL ALONG:

(ALL ALONG)

ALL THAT I NEEDED

(WHAT DID'JA NEED?)

WAS TO HAVE HEEDED

(SING IT, TIMON)

CHORUS:

HAKUNA MATATA! WHAT A WONDERFUL PHRASE HAKUNA MATATA! AIN'T NO PASSING CRAZE

PUMBAA:

DITTO!

CHORUS:

IT MEANS NO WORRIES AND THE REST OF YOUR DAYS TAKE OUR PROBLEM-FREE PHILOSOPHY HAKUNA MATATA!

SIMBA:

Hakuna Ma-- Does that really work?

TIMON:

Ha-ha-ha. Oh does it work? Oh that's rich. Oh, Pumbaa, tell him.

PUMBAA:

Listen to mе, kid. Listen. Sit down there. I got a story, too!

Pumbaa launches into his tail of woe -- showing how his special aroma made him an outcast.

PUMBAA:

singing

WHEN I WAS A YOUNG WARTHOG

TIMON:

WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG WARTHOG
