Movie quotes

  • (..) Well, I was first in line,... until the little hairball was born. That "hairball" is my son and your future king. Ohh, I shall practice my curtsy. Don't turn your back on me, Scar. On, no, Mufasa. Perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me. Is that a challenge? Pity! Why not? (..)

Now Scar, don't look at me that way... HELP!!! Scar! Mm-hmm...? Drop him. Impeccable timing, your majesty. (..)
