Kion quotes from The Lion Guard

Simba

Son, we need to talk.

Kion

Oh no. Dad, we already had that talk. Can you feel the love tonight I know all about that mushy stuff.

Kion

[Gasps]

Jasiri

[Laughs] Didn't know I was up here, did ya?

Kion

No, I... I knew you were there the whole time, hyena.

Jasiri

Yep, I'm a hyena, alright. You lions are so clever. [Laughs] Especially you, Kion. Leader of the Lion Guard.

Kion

You know me?

Jasiri

Just by reputation. The mark on your shoulder's a giveaway, though. [Laughs]

Kion

So, you're not in Janja's clan?

Jasiri

Janja? Yeah, that's a good one. What are you doing in the Outlands? Not exactly your territory.

Kion

I'm going to Flat Ridge Rock, so I can get back to the Pride Lands. If that's okay with you, hyena.

Jasiri

The name's Jasiri. And if you are headed back to the Pride Lands, you're going the wrong way.

Kion

Uh-huh. And I should trust a hyena because...

Jasiri

Because I want you out of my territory.

Kion

Good. I want out of your territory. [Scoffs]

Jasiri

Then you're going the wrong way!

Kion

[Chuckles] If only.

Jasiri

[Laughs] Bye, Kion. It's been fun.

Kion

Bye, Jasiri. Maybe I'll see you again sometime?

Jasiri

Not if I see you first. [Laughs]

Basi

More than last time, Pua, but not enough for your float of crocs. Swing by next week?

If that's how it must be. [Addresses his float] Move on, my friends. We'll eat somewhere else today.

Wait! [Approaches Pua] Pua, you said we were going to eat fish.

Makuu, there aren't enough fish yet. You heard Basi.

[Rolls his eyes] I heard him. But why should we crocodiles listen to a hippo?

I've told you before, Makuu. It's the Circle of Life.

So you say. [Strides around Pua] But I think you listen to the hippos because you're weak. [Faces Pua] You're afraid of them! [Thumps his chest] But I'm not afraid of anyone. And that's why I call for a mashindano!

Beshte

Dad, what's a mashindano?

Basi

The mashindano is a physical challenge. It's how the crocodiles determine their leader.

Kion

[Concerned] Hevi kabisa.

A mashindano?

You heard me! Accept or surrender your leadership. Immediately!

I accept your challenge, Makuu. [Faces his float] In accordance to tradition, the mashindano will take place near Lake Matope at sunset.

Kiara

You back off, Kion. That's my tree!

Kion

[Steps forward] Your tree?

Kiara

I found it first, so step aside.

Kion

[Shakes his head] No way! You can't tell me what to do!

Simba

Uh, actually, she can. [Sits in between Kiara and Kion] For the next few days, Kiara will be Queen.

Kiara

Me?

Kion

Her? Queen? Dad, what's going on?

Simba

Kiara will be acting queen while your mom and I are away in Kilio Valley.

Kiara

Kilio Valley? You're visiting the elephants?

Simba

[Somberly] Yes, we have a funeral to attend. [Looks down sadly] My friend, Aminifu, passed away.

Kiara

I remember him.

Kion

He was a wise elephant.

Simba

Yes. He helped the Pride Lands return to normal after Scar was defeated. Once the elephants returned, all the other animals followed, and the Circle of Life came back into balance. And now... [Watches some leaves spiral into the air] Aminifu has completed his part of the Circle of Life.

Kiara

I'm so sorry, Dad. Uh, how long will you be gone?

Simba

Just a few days. [Lifts an uncertain Kiara's chin up with his paw] And I'll let you in on a little secret. [Nuzzles Kiara] I was nervous about ruling the Pride Lands at first too.

Kiara

[Chuckles] I'm not nervous. Well, maybe a little.

Simba

It's okay. I have faith in you.

Simba

And the Lion Guard. Just keep the peace and everything will be fine.

Kiara

I won't let you down, Dad.

Simba

I know, Princess. Or should I say queen?

Kiara

[Chuckles nervously]

Janja

Uh-oh!

Woah!

[Smiles innocently at Janja] Hmm?

Janja

Oh, you jackals are so annoying! [Advances towards Dogo] We just chased you out of our den yesterday, and now, you're back? Guess I need to make an example of you.

[Whines]

Kion

Not today, Janja! [Tackles Janja to the ground]

Janja

Hey! Hey! Easy on the fur! What are you doing in the Outlands, anyway?

Kion

Making sure you let that pup go!

Bunga

Yeah! Don't you know today's Kupatana?

Janja

[Amused] Ku... ku... Kupatana? [Laughs as the other members of the Lion Guard approach] OK, Kion. You want the jackal? He's all yours!

Kion

[Lowers his ears] Uh, okay. [Lets Janja up]

Janja

Come on, fellas. The Lion Guard's doing us a favor today! [Returns to the Outlands with his fellow hyenas] Merry Kupatana!

Ono

That was... different.

Beshte

Yeah. You think Janja celebrates Kupatana too?

Fuli

I seriously doubt it.

Simba

You know it's considered an insult if the royal family is not there for the first song.

Kion

The first song's the best part!

Kiara

Race you there!

Kion

Oh, yeah.

Simba

Shall we?

Nala

Yes. But we don't need to race.

We told you to stay out of here, hyena!

Kion

Hey! [Tackles Nuka] Back off!

Who are you?

Kion

Name's Kion! Who are you?

Nuka! Hey, Nuka!

Kovu! Tell him to let me up!

Kion

A friend of yours?

[Sighs] He's my brother.

That's right! So you'd better let me up! It's two against one now!

Jasiri

It's two against two.

It should be three against one. What kind of lion are you? Siding with a hyena.

Kion

No reason.

Bunga

Aw, come on! You can tell me!

Kion

After what happened with my mom, I'm afraid I might hurt someone else with the roar.

Bunga

Say what? Kion, it's not like you did that on purpose!

Kion

I know, Bunga, but... that's the problem. I couldn't control it. I don't know if I should ever use the roar again.

Bunga

[Shocked] Never use the roar again!?

Kion

Bunga, shh!

Bunga

Tell me you're joking! Never use the roar again!? [Laughs] Hey, you're joking, right?

Kion

Bunga, I'm...

Bunga

Kion. You're the leader of the Lion Guard. You're the Pride Lands' fiercest! You've gotta use the roar! Zuka Zama, right?

Kion

[Sighs] Zuka Zama. Sure.

Bunga

There you go. Glad I could help. Another problem solved by Bunga the Wise! Now I'm gonna go help Ono.

Kiara

The trail to Udugu?

Kion

Where's Udugu? I've never heard of it.

Kiara

Is it in the Pride Lands?

Nala

[Laughs] You'll see.

Simba

Taking the trail to Udugu is an important part of growing up in the royal family.

Nala

And all royal siblings make the journey when they're ready.

Kiara

Did you go on it, Dad?

Simba

I never had the chance. I don't have a brother or sister. And don't worry about your Lion Guard duties, Kion. While you're gone, I will be leading the guard.

Kion

You will?

Simba

Perhaps your friends could learn a thing or two from their king.

Kion

Uh... sure. I know Bunga will love it.

Kion

We did?

Nala

Yes. And I am very proud of you.

Kion

Oh, yeah!

Bunga

Hey, Ono. Let's ask him about his spin thingie. [Walks up to Hadithi] Yo, Hadithi!

Ono

Bunga! You can't just talk to Hadithi. He's the Raven Rescuer from Red Rocks. The Starling Savior at Summer Springs.

Hadithi

Don't forget the Guardian of the Great Egret Escape.

Ono

Oh, I would never... [Gasps] Uh, Bunga, is Hadithi actually talking to me?

Hadithi

Indeed I am, young egret. You seem to know a lot about me.

Ono

Oh, I do. Hadithi, sir. [Clears throat] In fact, I would have to say I'm your... biggest fan?

Hadithi

My biggest fan? [Chuckles] Are you sure, young egret? As you can see, I have many.

Forget it! How can I trust any of you if you don't trust me? This whole summit's a joke!

Kion

Makuu!

LEAVE ME ALONE, CUB!

Fuli

(Sighs) That's you, Bunga.

Bunga

(Chuckles nervously) Oh yeah. (Sniffs himself) Pure Bunga.

Kion

Bunga, why don't you stay downwind of us? So we can track Beshte without any... Interference.

Bunga

Hmmm... Got it. (Stands behind Kion and Fuli) I know! I can shout for him so he knows we're looking for him! BESHTE! BESHTE! BESTHE!

Fuli

Oh, yeah. That's much less annoying.

So, Kion? Do they look like lions to you?

Kion

Uhh...

Bunga

Yeah, come on, Kion! Do we look great? Or really great?

Kion

I've definitely never seen anything like it.

Bunga

That's what I thought. I look un-bunga-lievable!

Ono

That's one way of putting it.

Prepare yourselves for the piece de resistance!

Ta-da!

Do you see any cheetahs here, Pumbaa?

Not me. All I see is a lion. And what a lion!

Fuli

I look ridiculous!

Shh... You're spoiling the illusion. [Begins feeling her fur] Ooh. Ooh.

Fuli

What are you doing?

Sorry. Even as a lion, your fur is still so soft...

Fuli

[Disgusted] Ugh! This costume is so weird!

Beshte

Come on, Fuli. You look just like the rest of us.

Fuli

Why doesn't that make me feel better?

Kion

You know what? You all look terrific. Good work, Makini. I know you're all gonna do great at the Ukumbusho tonight.

Oh, it's almost sunset. And I still have to paint the elephants! [Rushes off with her yellow paint]
