Zoka in The Lion King (Anthro Version).

Meet Scar/Mufasa and Scar's Conversation.

{Mouse named Nobi comes out and starts preening in the light. Begins sniffing. Becomes frightened. Suddenly a large lion paw swoops down and catches him.}

{Cue the Scar theme (dissonant, slow, reed theme). Fade in slowly and up full during speech}

{Camera switch to Scar holding the squeaking and struggling mouse in his paw. He talks to it while playing with it}

Scar: "Life's not fair, is it, my little friend? While some are born to feast, others spend their lives in the dark, begging for scraps. The way I see it, you and I are exactly the same. We both want to find a way out. 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... HEEELLLPPP!!!"

{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}

Zazu: "{Slimed} Eyyccch."

Scar: "{Sarcastically overjoyed} Why! If it isn't my big brother descending from on high to mingle with the commoners."

Mufasa: "Sarabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba."

Scar: "{Faking astonishment} That was today? Oh, I feel simply awful."

{He turns and start scraping his claws on the rock wall. Zazu cringes at the sound.}

Scar: "{Admiring his claws} ...Must have slipped my mind. Of course I meant no disrespect towards His Majesty {He flops down.} or Sarabi. {He gives himself a quick bath.} As you know, I have tremendous respect {He turns his head in Mufasa's direction meaningfully.} for the queen."

Zazu: "Yes, well, as slippery as your mind is, as the king's brother, you should have been first in line! {Scar clicks his teeth at Zazu, who has flown near his face. Zazu takes cover behind Mufasa's foreleg. Scar bends down to speak to him.}"

Scar: "Well, I was first in line. Or don't you remember? That is, until the hairball precious prince arrived."

Mufasa: "{Lowering his head and meeting Scar eye to eye} That "hairball" is my son... and your future king."

Scar: "Ohh, I shall practice my curtsy. {Scar turns away and starts to exit}"

Mufasa: "{Warning} Don't turn your back on me, Scar."

Scar: "{Looking back} Oh, no, Mufasa. Perhaps YOU shouldn't turn YOUR back on me."

Mufasa: "{Roars and literally jumps in front of Scar, baring his teeth for the first time} Is that a challenge?"

Scar: "Temper, temper. I wouldn't dream of challenging you again."

Zazu: "Pity! Why not?"

Scar: "{Looking at Zazu} Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share. But, when it comes to brute strength {looking at Mufasa} ...I'm afraid my big brother will always rule while I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool."

{Exit Scar}

Mufasa: "Not always, Scar. One day, it'll be my son who rules. Simba will be your king."

Scar: "{Scar pauses, glancing halfway back over his shoulder.} Then long live the king. {He keeps walking.}"

Zazu: "{Deep sigh} There's one in every family, sire... Two in mine, actually. {perches on Mufasa's shoulder} And they always manage to ruin special occasions."

Mufasa: "{Mufasa watches Scar leave.} What am I gonna do with him?"

Zazu: "Oh, come on. We both know he should've been expelled from the Pride Lands long ago."

Mufasa: "He's my brother, Zazu. This is his home. {The camera flips to Scar, who is ambling away.} As long as I am king, that will never change."

Zazu: "He'd make a very handsome throw rug."

Mufasa: "{Chiding} Zazu!"

Zazu: "And just think! Whenever he gets dirty, you could take him out and BEAT him."

{They exit, chuckling. Pan out into open savannah. Rise in music-- "This Land" track-- with theme stated in African flute, it broadens eventually with chorus and full orchestra. We see a rainstorm gently crossing the savannah. Multiplane as the thunder rumbes. Camera approaches to Rafiki's baobab tree. Camera switch to inside the tree. Rafiki is doing hand paintings on the wall. We see he is completing a lion cub.}

Rafiki: "{Mutters to himself, in which the word "Simba" can be heard} Hmm... Ah heh-heh-heh-heh-heh... {completing the ceremonial crown in the painting} Simba."

{Horns and brass close theme in a stately manner with a decrescendo. Fade to black keeping the painting of the cub.}
