SIDE 1

 

TIMON, PUMBAA

(offstage, war-whooping)

Eeeee-yaaaaa!

(PUMBAA and TIMON enter and charge at the birds, which scatter.)

TIMON

Get out! Get out! Get out of here!

PUMBAA

I love this! Bowlin' for buzzards!

(sniffs YOUNG SIMBA)

Uh-oh. Hey, Timon, ya better come look. I think it's still alive.

TIMON

All righty... what have we got here?

(realizing)

Yikes, it's a lion! Run, Pumbaa! Move it!

PUMBAA

Aw, Timon - look at him. He's so cute and all alone. Can we keep him?

TIMON

Pumbaa, are you nuts? You're talking about a lion! Lions east guys like us!

PUMBAA

But he's so little.

TIMON

He's gonna get bigger!

PUMBAA

Maybe he'll be on our side!

TIMON

That's the stupidest thing I ever heard.

(light bulb)

Hey! I've got it! What if he's on our side? Ya know, havin' a lion around might not be such a bad idea!
