Kovu: I humbly ask to join your pride.

Simba: No! You were banished, along with the outsiders.

Kovu: I have left the outsiders. I'm a rogue, judge me now, for who I am. Or am I to be blamed for a crime I didn't commit?

Vitani: Where's your pretty daughter, Nala?

Kovu: [talking to himself] Okay, I have to tell her today. Oh, where do I start? "Kiara, Zira had a plot, and I was part of it, but I don't want to be... because... it's because I love you."

Pumbaa: I thought you were gonna watch her

Timon: No, you were going to watch her.

Pumbaa: Watch this!

[tackles him]

Timon: Take that, you creepy warthog! Say it, fat! Fatty fat fat.

Simba: Kiara!

Zira: Kovu!

Simba: Stay out of this!

Kiara: Daddy, this has to stop.

Zira: You're even more pathetic than you are. Get out of the way!

Kovu: You won't hurt Kirara or Simba! Not while I'm here.

Simba: Why are you doing this?

Kiara: A wise king once told me, "We are one." I didn't understand him then. But now I do.

[Kovu just rescued Kiara from the wildfire]

Kiara: Where am I?

Kovu: You're safe - in the Pride Lands.

Kiara: The Pride Lands? No! Why'd you bring me here? Who do you think you are?

Kovu: [shocked] I think I'm the one that just saved your life!

Kovu: [points out where the grass has grown back from the fire, between them] Hey, look... we are one.

Kiara: What?

Kovu: Let's get outta here. We'll run away together! And start a pride... all our own.

Kiara: Kovu... we have to go back.

Kovu: You're kidding. But we're finally together!

Kiara: Our place is with our pride. If we run away, they'll be divided forever.

Kovu: I never heard the story of Scar that way... he truly was a killer.

Simba: Fire is a killer. Sometimes what's left behind can grow back better than the generation before [swipes paw over dust to reveal a small plant]

Simba: If given the chance.

Simba: As long as you live here, it's who you are. You'll understand someday.

Rafiki: Oh Mufasa, you've been up there too long! Your head is in the clouds!

Zira: What is your destiny?

Kovu: I will avenge Scar. Take his place in the Pride Lands.

Zira: Yes! What have I taught you?

Kovu: Simba is the enemy.

Zira: And What... must... do?

Kovu: I must kill him!

Mufasa: Well done, my son. We are one.

[the spirit of Mufasa shows his plan to bring peace to the Pridelander/Outlander feud]

Rafiki: What? Kovu, Kiara together? This is the plan? Are you crazy? This will never work! Oh Mufasa, you've been up there too long, your head is in the clouds!

[Kiara and Kovu are stargazing]

Kovu: I've never done this before.

Kiara: Really? My father and I used to do this all the time. He says all the great kings of the past are up there.

Kovu: You think Scar's up there?

[Shocked, Kiara doesn't answer]

Kovu: He wasn't my father, but he was still part of me.

Kiara: My father said there was a darkness in Scar that he couldn't escape.

Kovu: Maybe there's a darkness in me too.

Kiara: [about letting Kovu return to the Pridelands] Daddy, please! Reconsider!

Simba: You will not go anywhere without an escort from now on.

Kiara: No! That's not ...

Simba: He used you to get to me!

Kiara: No! He loves me, for me!

Simba: Because you are my daughter! You will not leave Pride Rock. You will stay where I can keep an eye on you - away from him!

Kiara: You don't know him!

Simba: I know he's following in Scar's paw prints, and I must follow in my father's.

Kiara: You will never be Mufassa!

[Simba is horrified; Kiara runs off, crying]

[Rehearsing speaking to Simba]

Timon: The good news is, we found your daughter. The bad news is, we dropped a warthog on her.

Simba: Stay out of this!

Kiara: A wise king once told me, we are one. I didn't understand him then. Now I do.

Simba: But they...

Kiara: Them? Us. Look at them, they are us. What differences do you see?

[Kiara and Kovu are running with Timon and Pumbaa]

Kovu: Why are we doing this? What's the point of this training?

Kiara: Training? This is just for fun!

Kovu: Fun?

Timon: Yeesh! You need to get out more. Fun! Yee-ha!

[Kovu pounces, only to realize Timon is there]

Timon: AHHH! Don't eat me, please! I... I never really met your tyrant, I mean, uh, Scar! Scar, oh heck of a guy. A little moody, but...

Kiara: Timon, what are you doing here?

Timon: Kiara! Thank goodness! Oh. Hey, for once, we're not following you. This just happens to be the best smorgasbord in the Pride Lands! Bugs everywhere! But, you don't call for a reservation and... yeesh!

Zira: It's over, Simba! I have dreamed of nothing else for years!

Timon: [speaking to himself] Boy, does she need a hobby.

Young Kiara: I'm not just a princess, you know. That's only half of who I am!

Pumbaa: Oh, who's the other half?

Young Kiara: Umm... uhh...

Young Kovu:What are you doing?

Young Kiara: My father says never to turn your back on an Outsider!

Young Kovu: And do you always do what your father says?

Young Kiara: NO!

Young Kovu: Bet ya do! Bet your Daddy's little girl!

Timon: That's not a king. That's a fuzzy maraca!

Kiara: Them? Us? Look at them... they are us! What differences do you see?

Simba: Stand aside.

Kiara: Daddy, this has to stop.

[Kovu growls at Zira]

Simba: Stay out of this.

Simba: A wise king once told me, "We are one." I didn't know what that meant. But now I do.

Simba: But, they….

[Being chased by lions]

Pumbaa: What do we do now?

Timon: Remember our motto: "When the going gets tough, the tough get going!"

Pumbaa: Wait a minute, I thought our motto was "Hakuna Matata".

Timon: Pumbaa, stop living in the past. We need a new motto!

[Kiara and Kovu are stargazing]

Kiara: That one looks like a cute bunny. See the fluffy tail?

Kovu: Yeah. Hey! That one looks like two lions killing each other for a scrap of meat! Ah, I've never done this before!

[Timon and Pumbaa are surrounded by Lions]

Timon: [holding Pumbaa's tail] Don't anybody move! This things loaded... I'll let you have it!

Young Kiara: Will somebody please just listen to me?

Timon: I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. Did you say something, Princess?

[Timon and Pumbaa are fighting]

Simba: What are you doing?

Pumbaa: Ahh!

Timon: Good question. Uh, let me ask you one.

Pumbaa: Hippothetically.

Timon: Very hypothetically. There's this guy...

Pumbaa: But he's not a lion...

Timon: No. No, he's not a lion. Yeesh, definitely not a lion... and uh... uh, his daughter, um, say... vanished?

Zira: Well done, Kovu. Just like we've always planned.

Simba: You!

Adult Kovu: No! I didn't have anything to do with this!

Zira: Attack!

Timon: [he and Pumbaa narrowly escape being trampled by a herd of antelope] This must be where the deer and the antelope play!

[about Kiara]

Nala: Simba, who does she remind you of?

Simba: What? Who?

Nala: She's just like you when you were young.

Simba: Exactly!

Rafiki: You follow old Rafiki! He knows the way!

Kiara: Where are you taking us?

Rafiki: To a special place in your heart called... Upendi!

[while surrounding himself in a ring of fire with his torch]

Nuka: Roasty-toasty princess! Roasty-toasty princess!

[Stops]

Nuka: Hey, is it hot in here or is it just me?

[Notices he's in a ring of... ]

Nuka: Fire!!

[to Vitani]

Zira: If you will not fight, then you will die as well.
