The Lion King: Scene 9
BE PREPARED SCENE
Banzai: Man, that lousy Mufasa! I won't be able to sit for a week!
Banzai:
It's not funny, Ed.
'
Hey, shut up!
'
Shenzi: Will you knock it off!
Shenzi:
Banzai: Well, he started it!
Banzai: Tse, po sngolä'i!
Shenzi: Look at you guys. No wonder we're dangling at the bottom of the food chain.
Shenzi:
Banzai: Man, I hate dangling.
Banzai:
Shenzi: Shyeah? You know, if it weren't for those lions, we'd be runnin' the joint.
Shenzi:
Banzai: Yeah. Man, I hate lions.
Banzai: Sran. Oh, oel ve'kì falukanit.
Shenzi: So pushy.
Shenzi:
Banzai: And hairy.
Banzai:
Shenzi: And stinky.
Shenzi:
Banzai: And man, are they...
Banzai:
Shenzi and Banzai: Uuuuglu!
Shenzi and Banzai:
Scar: Oh, surely we lions are not all THAT bad.
Scar:
Banzai: Ohh. Oh, Scar, it's just you.
Banzai:
Shenzi: We were afraid it was somebody important.
Shenzi:
Banzai: Yeah, you know, like Mufasa.
Banzai:
Shenzi: Yeah.
Shenzi: Sran.
Scar: I see.
Scar: Oel kame.
Banzai: Now that's power.
Banzai:
Shenzi: Tell me about it. I just hear that name and I shudder.
Shenzi:
Banzai: Mufasa.
Banzai: Mufasa
Shenzi: Ooooh. ... Do it again.
Shenzi: Ooooh. ... Liveyn.
Banzai: Mufasa.
Banzai: Mufasa
Shenzi: Ooooh!
Shenzi: Ooooh!
Banzai: Mufasa. Mufasa! Mufasa!
Banzai: Mufasa. Mufasa! Mufasa!
Shenzi: ...Oooh! It tingles me.
Shenzi:
Scar: I'm surrounded by idiots.
Scar: Skxawngìl nì'aw tok oepxaw.
Banzai: Not you, Scar; I mean, you're one of us. I mean, you're our pal.
Banzai:
Scar: Charmed.
Scar:
Shenzi: Ohh, I like that. He's not king, but he's still so proper.
Shenzi:
Banzai: Yeah. Hey, hey. Did ya bring us anything to eat, Scar, old buddy, old pal? Huh? Did-ya-did-ya-did-ya?
Banzai:
Scar: I don't think you really deserve this. I practically gift-wrapped those cubs for you. And you couldn't even dispose of them.
Scar:
Shenzi: Well, ya know. It wasn't exactly like they was alone, Scar.
Shenzi:
Banzai: Yeah. What are we supposed to do-- kill Mufasa?
Banzai:
Scar: Precisely.
Scar:
Scar: I never thought hyenas essential.
Scar:
They're crude and unspeakably plain.
'
But maybe they've a glimmer of potential
'
If allied to my vision and brain.
'
Scar: I know that your powers of retention
Scar:
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
'
But thick as you are, pay attention
'
My words are a matter of pride
'
It's clear from your vacant expressions
'
The lights are not all on upstairs
'
Scar: But we're talking kings and successions
Scar:
Even you can't be caught unawares
'
Scar: So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Scar:
Be prepared for sensational news
'
A shining new era
'
Is tiptoeing nearer
'
Shenzi: And where do we feature?
Shenzi:
Scar: Just listen to teacher
Scar: Tìng mikyun karyuru
Scar: I know it sounds sordid
Scar:
But you'll be rewarded
'
When at last I am given my dues
'
And injustice deliciously squared
'
Be prepared!
Livu hawnawl!
Banzai: Yeah, Be prepared. Yeah-heh... we'll be prepared, heh. ...For what?
Banzai: Sran, Livu hawnawl. Sra-srane... Ayoe layu hawnawl, heh. ...Peufpì?
Scar: For the death of the king.
Scar:
Banzai: Why? Is he sick?
Banzai: Pelun? Lu po spxin?
Scar: No, fool - we're going to kill him. Simba too.
Scar:
Shenzi: Great idea! Who needs a king?
Shenzi:
Shenzi (and then Banzai): No king! No king! la-la-la-la-laa-laa!
Shenzi (and then Banzai): Kea eyktan! Kea eyktan! la-la-la-la-laa-laa!
Scar: Idiots! There will be a king!
Scar:
Banzai: Hey, but you said, uh...
Banzai:
Scar: I will be king! ...Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again!
Scar:
Shenzi and Banzai: Yaay! All right! Long live the king!
Shenzi and Banzai:
All Hyenas: Long live the king! Long live the king!
All Hyenas:
Hyenas: It's great that we'll soon be connected.
Hyenas:
With a king who'll be all-time adored.
'
Scar: Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
Scar:
To take certain duties on board
'
Scar: The future is littered with prizes
Scar:
And though I'm the main addressee
'
The point that I must emphasize is
'
You won't get a sniff without me!
'
Scar: So prepare for the coup of the century
Scar:
(Oooh!)
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
'
(Oooh... La! La! La!)
Meticulous planning
'
(We'll have food!)
'
Tenacity spanning
'
(Lots of food)
'
Decades of denial
'
(We repeat)
'
Is simply why I'll
'
(Endless meat)
'
Be king undisputed
'
(Aaaaaaah...)
Respected, saluted
'
(...aaaaaaah...)
And seen for the wonder I am
'
(...aaaaaaah!)
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
'
(Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Be prepared!
Livu hawnawl!
All (Even Ed): Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared -
All (Even Ed):
Be prepared!
Livu hawnawl!
