Zazu is in a cage made of some animal's ribcage, singing. Scar is laying out on a rock picking his teeth with a bone.

Nobody knows

The trouble I've seen

Nobody knows

My sorrow...

Oh Zazu, do lighten up. 

Scar tosses the bone at Zazu and it clatters against the cage 

Sing something with a little... bounce in it.

It's a small world after all...

No! No. Anything but that!

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts diddely-dee-dee There they are a-standing in a row... 

Scar is enjoying this and starts to join in

Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head...

Oh... I would never have had to do this for Mufasa.

What? What did you say?

Oh, nothing!

 You know the law: Never, ever mention THAT name in my presence. I... am... the KING!

Scar shoves his muzzle between the ribs of Zazu's cage on the last line. His breath blows Zazu up against the wall.

Yes, sire. You ARE the king. I... I... Well, I only mentioned it to illustrate the differences in your royal managerial approaches. 

Hey Boss!

Oh, what is it this time?

We got a bone to pick with you.

I'll handle this. Scar, there's no food, no water...

Yeah, it's dinner time, and we ain't got no stinkin' entrees.

It's the lionesses' job to do the hunting...

Yeah, but they won't go hunt.

Oh... eat Zazu.

Oh, you wouldn't want me! I'd be so tough and gamey and... eeww...

Oh, Zazu, don't be ridiculous. All you need is a little garnish.

I thought things were bad under Mufasa.

What did you say?

I said Muf... 

I said, uh... "Qué pasa?"

Good. Now get out.

The hyenas start out but then pause

Mm... yeah, but - we're still hungry.

Scar: Out!

They run off; Ed lets loose a crazy laugh

Timon, Pumbaa, and Simba are lying on their backs looking at the stars.

Whoah. Nice one, Simba.

Thanks. Man, I'm stuffed.

Me too. I ate like a pig.

Pumbaa - you are a pig.

Oh. Right. 

Timon?

Yeah?

Ever wonder what those sparkly dots are up there?

Pumbaa. I don't wonder; I know.

Oh. What are they?

They're fireflies. Fireflies that uh... got stuck up on that big... bluish-black... thing.
