— I'm starved.
— I'm so hungry I could eat a whole zebra.
— Ah. We're fresh out of zebra.
— Any antelope?
— Nuh-uh.
— Hippo?
— Nope. Listen, kid, if you live with us, you have to eat like us. Hey, this looks like a good spot to rustle up some grub.
— Eugh, what's that?
— A grub. What's it look like?
— Eugh! Gross.
— Mmm. Tastes like chicken.
— Slimy yet satisfying.
— These are rare delicacies. Mmm. Piquant, with a very pleasant crunch.
— You'll learn to love them.
— I'm telling you, kid, this is the great life, no rules, no responsibilities. Ooh, the little cream-filled kind.
— Look, kid, bad things happen, and you can't do anything about it, right?
— Right.
— Wrong! When the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world.
— Well, that's not what I was taught.
— Then maybe you need a new lesson. Repeat after me. Ahem. Hakuna matata.
— What?
— Hakuna matata. It means "no worries".
"Timon? Ever wonder what those sparkling dots are up there?"
"Pumbaa, I don't wonder, I know."
"Oh? What are they?"
"They're fireflies. Fireflies that got stuck up in that big bluish-black thing."
"Oh, gee. I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away."
"Pumbaa, with you, everything's gas."
Hakuna matata.
You know, kid, these two words will solve all your problems!
— You know, kid, in times like this, my buddy Timon here says, «You got to put your behind in your past».
— No, no, no. It's, 'You got to put your past behind you.' Look, kid, bad things happen, and you can't do anything about it, right?
— Right.
— Wrong! When the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world.
— What'd you do, kid?
— Something terrible. But I don't want to talk about it...
— We don't want to hear about it!
— Hey, what's goin' on here? Who's the monkey?
— Simba went back to challenge Scar.
— Who?
— Scar.
— Who's got a scar?
— No, it's his uncle.
— The monkey's his uncle?
— Hey, Timon, it's just a little lion. Look at him. He's so cute and all alone. Can we keep him?
— Pumbaa, are you nuts? You're talking about a lion. Lions eat guys like us.
— But he's so little.
— He's going to get bigger.
— Maybe he'll be on our side.
— That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. Maybe he'll... Hey, I've got it. What if he's on our side?
What a wonderful phrase.
Hakuna matata.
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
Hakuna matata.
