Learn English with Films Lesson 2: THE LION KING
| Scar: | Life’s not fair, is it? You see I — well, I… shall never be King. {exhale lightly} And you… shall never see the light of another day. {closed-mouth laughter. Starts to place the mouse on his extended tongue} … Adieu… {quiet laugh} |
|---|---|
| Zazu: | {Interrupting} Didn’t your mother ever tell you not to play with your food? |
| Scar: | {Light sigh. The mouse is under his paw.} What do you want? |
| Zazu: | I’m here to announce that King Mufasa is on his way. {bows} …So you’d better have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning. |
{The mouse runs away from Scar}
| Scar: | Oh now look, Zazu; you’ve made me lose my lunch. |
|---|---|
| Zazu: | Hah! You’ll lose more than that when the King gets through with you. He’s as mad as a hippo with a hernia. |
| Scar: | Oooh… I quiver with FEAR. |
{On “FEAR” Scar crouches down and is baring his teeth at Zazu.}
| Zazu: | {Very concerned} Now Scar, don’t look at me that way… HELP! |
|---|
{Scar quickly pounces on the bird, catching him in his mouth.}
| Mufasa: | {Almost immediately and off-camera} Scar! … |
|---|---|
| Scar: | {Mouth full} Mm-hmm? |
| Mufasa: | Drop him. |
| Zazu: | {Speaking from Scar’s mouth} Impeccable timing, your majesty. |
{Scar spits the bird out, covered with saliva}
