• Banzai : [In the hyenas' lair, Banzai slouches with claw marks on his rear]  Man, that lousy Mufasa... I won't be able to sit for a *week!*

  Ed the Hyena : [laughs, but also tries his best to conceal it from time to time]  Eh-hee-hee-hee. Heh-heheheheheheheheheh...

  Banzai : [Glares at Ed and bares his teeth with impatience]  It's not funny, Ed.

  Ed the Hyena : [Cups his paws over his mouth then bursts into hysterical laughter, spitting as his tongue lofts out of his mouth]  BA-HA-HA-HAAAA! HA-AH-AH-AH-AH!

  [Inhales deeply] 

  Banzai : Hey, shut up!

  Ed the Hyena : AH-HA-HO! HO-HO-HO-HO!

  Banzai : [Bares his teeth]  Grrrrrr...

  [as Ed continues to laugh, Banzai barks and pounces on Ed, abruptly ending his laughing. The two commence a brief fight] 

  Shenzi : [Rolls her eyes and turns to the two yelping and rolling atop each other aggressively]  Will you knock it off?

  Banzai : [ed appears to be chewing on Banzai's leg; Banzai sits up]  Well, he started it!

  [It is now obvious that Ed is chewing his own leg repeatedly] 

  Shenzi : Look at you guys! No wonder we're dangling at the bottom of the food chain!

  Banzai : [a string of drool dangles from his chin]  Man, I hate dangling...

  Shenzi : [Scoffs]  Yeah? You know, if it weren't for those lions, we'd be *runnin'* the joint.

  [Ed nods idiotically] 

  Banzai : Man, I *hate* lions!

  Shenzi : [Grumbles]  So pushy...

  Banzai : And hairy...

  Shenzi : [Smiles]  Stinky...

  Banzai : [Grins]  And man are they...

  Banzai , Shenzi : [Elongated use of the 'u']  U-GLY!

  [both laugh hysterically] 

• Shenzi : Well, well, well, Banzai, what have we got here?

  Banzai : Hmm, I don't know Shenzi uh, what do you think Ed?

  Ed the Hyena : Oo ehehe, oh hahahaha

  Banzai : Yeah, just what I was thinking, a trio of trespassers.

  Zazu : And quite by accident let me assure you...

  Shenzi : Whoa, whoa, wait wait. I know you, you're Mufasa's little stooge.

  Zazu : I madame, am the king's majordomo.

  Banzai : And that would make you...?

  Young Simba : The future King!

  Shenzi : Do you know what we do to kings who step out of their kingdom?

  Young Simba : Puh, you can't do anything to me.

  Zazu : Uh-uh, technically they can, we are on their land.

  Young Simba : But Zazu, you told me they are nothing but slobbery, mangy stupid poachers.

  Zazu : Ix-nay on the upid-stay...

  Banzai : Who you callin' upid-stay?

• Banzai : But we got to finish the job.

  Shenzi : Well, he's as good as dead out there anyway. And if he comes back, we'll kill him.

  Banzai : [calling out to Simba]  Yeah! You hear that? If you ever come back, we'll kill you!

• Scar : Ah, my friends!

  Shenzi : Friends? I thought he said we were the enemy.

  Banzai : That's what I heard.

  Shenzi , Banzai : Ed?

  [Ed laughs menacingly] 

  Scar : No. Let me explain. No, you don't understand! No, I didn't mean... No! No!

• Young Simba : Hey, why don't you pick on somebody your own size?

  Shenzi : Like you?

  Young Simba : Oops.

• Banzai : Hey, Boss.

  Scar : Oh, what is it this time?

  Banzai : We got a bone to pick with you.

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

  Banzai : Yeah. It's dinner time and we ain't got no stinking entrées.

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

  Banzai : Yeah, but they won't go hunt.

  Scar : Oh... Eat Zazu.

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

  Scar : Oh, Zazu, don't be ridiculous. All you need is a little garlic.

• Shenzi : What's the hurry? We'd love you to stick around for dinner.

  Banzai : Yeah. We could have whatever's "lion" around.

  Shenzi : Oh wait, wait, wait. I got one, I got one. Make mine a "cub" sandwich. Whatcha think?

  [all laugh] 

  Shenzi : [Ed points] 

  Shenzi : What, Ed?

  Banzai : Hey, did we order this dinner to go?

  Shenzi : No, why?

  Banzai : 'Cause THERE IT GOES!

• Shenzi : [Banzai's stomach growls]  Shut up.

  Banzai : I can't help it. I'm so hungry... I gotta have a wildebeest.

  Shenzi : Stay *put*.

  Banzai : Well... can't I just pick off one of the little sick ones?

  Shenzi : NO! Wait for the signal from Scar.

  [Scar appears on the horizon] 

  Shenzi : There he is. Let's go.

• Scar : Surely we lions are not all that bad.

  Shenzi : Oh, Scar. It's just you.

  Shenzi : We were afraid it was somebody important.

  Banzai : Yeah, you know, like Mufasa.

  Shenzi : Yeah.

  Scar : I see.

  Banzai : Now that's power!

  Shenzi : Tell me about it. I just hear that name and I shudder.

  Banzai : Mufasa!

  Shenzi : Ooooh! Do it again!

  Banzai : Mufasa!

  Shenzi : Ooooh!

  Banzai : Mufasa! Mufasa! Mufasa!

  Shenzi : Ooooh!

  [breaks into laughter] 

  Shenzi : It tingles me!

  Scar : I'm surrounded by idiots.

• Shenzi : Do you know what we do to kings who step out of their kingdom?

  Young Simba : Puh. You can't do anything to me.

  Zazu : Technically, they can. We are on their land.

  Young Simba : But Zazu, you told me they're nothing but slobbering, mangy, stupid poachers.

  Zazu : Ix-nay on the upid-stay.

  Banzai : Who are you callin' upid-stay?

  Zazu : My, my, my. Look at the sun. It's time to go!

• Shenzi : Hey. There he goes. There he goes.

  Banzai : So go get him.

  Shenzi : There ain't no way I'm going in there. What, you want me to come out there looking like you? Cactus-Butt?

• Banzai : Yeah, be prepared. We'll be prepared. For what?

  Scar : For the death of the king.

  Banzai : Why, is he sick?

  Scar : No, fool, we're going to kill him. And Simba, too.

  Shenzi : Great idea. Who needs a king?

  Banzai , Shenzi : [singing and dancing around Ed]  No king, no king, la la la la la la...

  Scar : Idiots! There will be a king!

  Banzai : Hey, but you said...

  Scar : I will be king! Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again.

  Banzai , Shenzi : Yeah! All right! Long live the king!

  [other hyenas join in] 

  Banzai , Shenzi : Long live the king! Long live the king!

• Shenzi : What's the hurry? We'd love you to stick around for dinner.

  Banzai : Yeah, we could have whatever's lion around!

  Shenzi : Wait, wait, wait, I got one, I got one! Make mine a cub sandwich. Whaddya think?
