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: [sees the mouse scampering off] Oh, now look, Zazu, you made me lose my lunch.
Zazu: Ha! You'll lose more than that when the King gets through with you. He's as mad as a hippo with a hernia...

Scar: [approaches him menacingly] Oooh... I quiver with *fear*...

Matilda: There once was a meerkat who lived in the jungle. He was hungry, but he was small. So small. And the other big animals had all the food, because they could reach the fruits. So he made friends with a hippopotamus to...
Max: [interrupting her] Okay, stop. It doesn't end well for the meerkat.
Matilda: Yes it does, because he

can stand on the hippopotamus's back to get all the fruits he wants.
Max: What's in it for the hippo?
Matilda: [precociously] The hippo wants a friend.

Max: Frey.
Frey: Max? Max, where are you?
Max: I'm gonna have to break my promise. I can't make it back up there. You remember what I said when we were kids?
Frey: Yes.
Young Max: [Flash back] I'll take us there one day.
Young Frey: Really?
Young

Max: Yeah, I promise.
Max: You wouldn't believe what I'm looking at now. Tell Matilda I really liked her story. And I... I figured out why the hippo did it.

Moses: Rameses? Rameses?
Rameses: [sarcastic] Oh, let me guess - you want me to... let your people go?
Moses: I hoped I would find you here.
Rameses: Get out!
[throws his wine glass on the floor]
Moses: Rameses, we must bring this to an end. Rameses, please, talk to me. We could

always talk here.
Moses: [sighs] This place - so many memories. I remember the time you switched the heads of the Gods in the temple of Ra.
[Moses sighs and starts to leave, until Rameses speaks]
Rameses: If I recall correctly, you were there switching heads right along with me.
Moses: No, it was you, I didn't do that.


Rameses: Oh, yes, you did. You put the hippo on the crocodile, and the crocodile on the...
Moses: [remembering] ... on the falcon.
Rameses: Yes. And the priests thought it was a horrible omen and fasted for two months! Father was furious! You were always getting me into trouble!
[he starts to walk away, then sighs]

Rameses: But then,
[he laughs]
Rameses: you were always there to get me out of trouble again. Hmmph. Why can't things be the way they were before?
Rameses Son: Father? It's so dark. I'm frightened. Why is he here? Isn't that the man who did all this?
Rameses: Yes, but one must wonder, why?

Moses: Because no kingdom should be made on the backs of slaves. Rameses, your stubbornness is bringing this misery upon Egypt. It would cease if only you would let the Hebrews go.
Rameses: I will not be dictated to. I will not be threatened. I am the morning and evening star. I am Pharaoh!
Moses: Something else is coming, something

much worse than anything before. Please, let go of your contempt for life before it destroys everything you hold dear. Think of your son!
Rameses: I do. You Hebrews have been nothing but trouble. My father had the right idea of how to deal with your people.
Moses: Rameses...
Rameses: And I think it's time I finished the job!


Moses: Rameses!
Rameses: And there shall be a great cry in all of Egypt, such as there never has been or ever will be again!
Moses: Rameses, you bring this upon yourself.
