So bored.
Scar: Life's not fair, is it? You see, I, well I shall never be king. And you, shall never see the light of another day. Hm hm, and you.
Zazu: Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with your food?
Scar: What do you want?
Zazu: I'm here to announce that King Mufasa's on his way, so you'd better have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning.
Scar: Oh now look Zazu, you made me lose my lunch.
Zazu: Puh, you'll lose more than that when the king gets through with you. He's as mad as a hippo with a hernia.
Scar: Oooo. I quiver with fear.
Zazu: Now, Scar. Don't look at me that way. Heeeelp!
Mufasa: Scar.
Scar: Hm, hm hm?
Mufasa: Drop him.
Zazu: Impeccable timing your majesty.
Scar: Why if it isn't my big brother decending from on high to mingle with the commoners.
Mufasa: Serabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba.
Scar: That was today? Oh, I feel simply awful. Must have slipped my mind.
Zazu: Yes, well as slippery as your mind is, as the king's brother you should have been first in line.
Scar: Well I was first in line... until the little hairball was born.
Mufasa: That hairball is my son, and your future king.
Scar: Oh, I shall practice my curtsey.
Mufasa: Don't turn your back on me, Scar.
Scar: Oh no, Mufasa. Perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me.
Mufasa: Rar! Is that a challenge?
Scar: Temper, temper. I wouldn't dream of challenging you.
Zazu: Pity. Why not?
Scar: Well as far as brains go I've got the lion share, but when it comes to brute strength, I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool.
Zazu: There's one in every family, sire. Two in mine actually. And they always manage to ruin special occasions.
Mufasa: What am I going to do with him?
Zazu: He'd make a very handsome throne rug.
Mufasa: Zazu.
Zazu: And just think; whenever he gets dirty we can take him out and beat him.
That's the first scene to "The Lion King". I thought about removing the names and trying to make you figure out where it's from, but then I thought it would make me too sad to find out that I'm one of the only people that would be able to identify it after the first sentence. I'm so bored.

I would have gotten it, but I'm not sure I'd have told you it was the first scene.
I thought the first scene was when rafiki held simba up over the rock thingy.
I totally would have gotten that with the first line although I am almost positive that is not the first scene. It is at the beginning though.
I consider it the first scene. You people are thinking of the part before they even tell you the title, and it would therefore be considered the "introduction" rather than an actual scene.
I would have definately recognized it. My sister used to watch The Lion King litterally about 6 times a day. I had pretty much had it memorized x.X
"I'm gunna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!"
"Well, I've never seena king or beast with quite so little hair" *POING!*" and so on ^_^;
Right, what's posted here is the first scene, the rest is an overature as such. There's dialogue until that point.
When I first glanced at it and saw Zazu and Scar I got in the mindset of when Scar has him in a cage, the coconut song, et.al.
since when is the introduction not the first scene?
They don't actually talk until this part. Granted, there's a song, but it just doesn't count if there's no dialogue.
trev, I think Ross is on your side, but I might be mis reading things.
ross: since when is an overature a scene? Even with action; if anything it might be a prologue. But I'm fairly confident that if we were to find a script that this would be labled "secene 1"
I was merely expecting you or ross to school me on what an opening scene is.
you're right, Phillip. It's more of a prologue, not an overature though because that is usually an instrumental medly of several songs that will be played later throughout the production. Prologue I will accept.
Yeah, the Lion King is probably one of my least favorite of the disney animated musicals. I just don't like the music very much. Mulan was better...
This is definitely the opening scene, and The Circle of Life song was for the introduction -- not being counted as a scene because there is no dialogue, nor - as Julie stated - had the movie title even been stated.
I know Julie had me in mind when she said she was one of the only people who would get it after the first line. *nerd*
"I always thought they were balls of gas, burning billions of miles away."
"Pumba, with you, everything's gas."
By "Pumba" she means Rachel...
But of course!
What's sad is that you know the whole scene by heart.
We know the whole movie by heart... (for the most part)
"Eww...what a nasty flavor!"
oops! wrogn movie! XB ^_~
