The Lion King 1½ - Quotes

Ma: Hahuna Ma-what-a?

Rafiki: [chuckles] It means "no worries.

Ma: I see...

Rafiki: So, I told the boy: To find Hakuna Matata, you must look beyond what you see.

Ma: Ah, a metaphor.

Rafiki: [Ma hits him with the stick] Well, actually, it's not a... Ah!

Ma: You used a metaphor on Timon?! He takes things literally! That's it. He's starving out there. I just know it! Max! Timon's out there chasing metaphors. I've got to go find him!

Uncle Max: Are you nuts?!

Ma: Nice to have a supportive family, isn't it? Well, here I go.

Rafiki: Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.

Ma: [Stomps on Rafiki's foot] Thanks, here's my first step.

Timon: [Screams; pauses; Pumbaa pulls one of three quills] OW!!!!!! Aye!!!

Pumbaa: [spits the first quill] This bowling from porcupines wasn't the best idea?

Timon: Yeah, it got to be right up there with bobbin for snapping turtles. Ow-ah-ahaha!!

Pumbaa: [spits the second quill] That's going to leave a mark. Look, Timon. Buzzards! What do you say? One more round?

Timon: Sure. There must be some part of me we haven't injured yet.

Pumbaa: Please? Please, please, please, please, please?

Timon: [pulls out one last quill] No, Pumbaa. I'm beat. You go ahead. I'm calling it a day.

Pumbaa: But it's no fun alone.

Timon: Why not? One more run won't change our lives!

Pumbaa: I don't do so well in crowds. Maybe we better go around.

Timon: Don't you know the shortest distance between me and my dream home is a straight line? Follow me.

Animal #1: Oh.

Timon: Excuse me.

Animal #2: Ow.

Animal #3: Hello.

Animal #4: Goodness.

Timon: [[Midnight Cowboy|I'm walking here] Make room. Make room. Watch it, Twiggy. ].

Pumbaa: [Hears his stomach growling, so he sits down and stops his stomach. He clears his throat.] Timon, there's something I got to tell you.

Timon: Pumbaa, Pumbaa, Pumbaa. We will have a plenty of time to chat once we settle in.

Pumbaa: I could really use a rest stop.

Timon: [to Pumbaa] Don't worry. You'll get your second wind.

Pumbaa: [whimpering] I got a really bad feeling!

Timon: [he grabs Pumbaa's tail; Pumbaa farts. The animals bow before [[w:Simba|Simba] It'll pass. Trust me! It will pass. ].]

Zebra #1: Oh, look. The rhinos are bowing.

Zebra #2: Ooh, we'd better bow up, too.

Zazu: Look, sire, how they kneel before the royal son.

Timon: So, I guess that's your special power? What a weapon!

Pumbaa: You mean, you don't mind?

Timon: [laughs] Are you kidding? It was a gas!

Pumbaa: Well, I don't like to toot my own horn...

Timon: [pauses out] Yeah, that's probably for the best. Let's go, Pumbaa.

Pumbaa: Lead the way.

Banzai: [snickers; Ed laughs] And I thought beans were the only musical food.

Timon: Hy... Hy... Hy...

Timon: [first lines; singing] Whaaaat's on the menu? It could be ceviche, it's stinky, ooh, it's Pumbaa-aah...

Pumbaa: I gotta tell ya, Timon, that song always gets me right here.

Timon: [fast forwards the first movie] Yeah, Pumbaa... Well, enough of that.

Pumbaa: Uh, Timon, what are you doing?

Timon: I'm fast forwarding to the part where we come in.

Pumbaa: [stops to the part before the final verse of Hakuna Matata where Simba grows into an adult] But you can't go out of order.

Timon: Au contraire my porcine pal, I've got the remote.

Pumbaa: [rewinds the movie] But everyone's going to get confused! We've got to go back to the beginning of the story.

Timon: [stops at the presentation of Simba then fast forwards again] We're not in the beginning of the story.

Pumbaa: [stops at Timon shocked face then rewinds again] Yes we were, the whole time.

Timon: [stops at the reunion with Simba and Nala then fast forwards third time] Yeah, but they don't know that.

Pumbaa: [stops at the hyenas and scream] So then why don't we tell them our story?!

Timon: Hey I've got an idea, why don't we tell them our story?

Pumbaa: Oh! I like the sound of that.

Timon: A little backstage tour, take them behind the scenes while revealing the intimate look in the story within the story.

Pumbaa: Because what they don't know is how we really were there even though they didn't know we were there, you know?

Timon: [rewinds the movie to the very beginning] Couldn't have said it better myself.

Pumbaa: So does this mean we're going back to the beginning?

Timon: [[Shrek|Oh no, Pumbaa, no.] ] We're going way back to before the beginning...

Mufasa: Look out, Simba!

Zazu: Sire, the hyenas are after the children!

Zazu: Look, sire, how they kneel before the royal son.

Ma: Get in here! What are you a meshugginah!

Ma: Well, I hope you find what you're looking for, honey.

Ma: ['''[[w:Timon and Pumbaa|Timon; '''Timon''': What's the point? All we do is dig so we can hide, and hide so we can dig. I want to be where we don't have to dig tunnels and live with our heads stuck in the sand. What's so bad about dreaming of a better home?; '''Timon''': Funny, I thought you were going a whole different direction with this.] ]: I was just trying to shed a little light on our pathetic existence.] Timon, this can't go on. Just this month, you've pulled down four walls and collapsed two tunnel exits. We have to look after each other. Our survival depends on it. I want to show you something. Look, Timon. Go on, look. Look out to the horizon, past the trees, over the grasslands. Everything the light touches belongs to someone else.

Uncle Max: [Looks at Shenzi, Banzai and Ed] This is no time for horseplay, Timon. You’re supposed to be up there looking out for... HYENAS!!!

Uncle Max: Applaud now, sonny boy, but try clapping when you don't have any hands.

Uncle Max: I flinched when I should have scurried.

Uncle Max: ['''[[w:List of The Lion King (franchise) characters#Ma|Ma; [w:Timon and Pumbaa|Timon] ]: Something's different about ].] You think? HE'S WEARING A DRESS!

Uncle Max: [to Timon and Pumbaa gets jumpscares by Hyenas in the theater; shocked] LOOK OUT!!

Adult: [same lines from the [[The Lion King|first film; [w:Nala (The Lion King)|you; '''Nala''': I would if you'd just tell me.; '''Nala''': Fine!] ].] Listen, ] think you can just show up and tell me how to live my life? You don't even know what I've been through! Forget it!

Adult: [Banzai, Shenzi and Ed in the theater; shocked] The hyenas trying to killed Nala!

Adult: [hugging [[w:Timon and Pumbaa|Timon and Pumbaa] ].] I couldn't have done it without you, guys.

Cub: [He looks down] Woo-hoo! All right! Man, you guys look like ants down there.

Cub: You know, go...bad.

Cub: I got to go.

Cub: [from offscreen; '''Timon''': ?] Timon. Timon. Timon!

Nala: ['''[[w:Timon and Pumbaa|Timon; [w:Simba|He's; [w:List of The Lion King (franchise) characters#Rafiki|the baboon] ]: ] gone? What do you mean he's gone?] It's just like ] said. The king has returned.

Pumbaa: I'm an insectivore.

Pumbaa: ['''[[w:Timon and Pumbaa|Timon] ]: Just eat me now and please make it fast. I got a low threshold for pain.] Easy, easy there little guy. I'm not going to eat you.

Pumbaa: [first lines] I gotta tell ya, Timon, that song always gets me right here.

Timon: ['''Pumbaa''': Easy, easy there, little guy. I'm not going to eat you.] Just eat me now and please make it fast. I got a low threshold for pain.

Timon: Hey! What's going on? Pumbaa, you're sitting on the remote!

Timon: Friends stick together to the end.

Timon: [[w:Timon and Pumbaa|Pumbaa] ], this could be the start of a beautiful... acquaintanceship.

Timon: [first lines; singing] What’s on the menu?! It could be ceviche, it's stinky, ooh, it's Pumbaa-aah...
