- Shenzi: There it is boys. The Lion King is sleeping with his mate on the lazy rocks.
- Banzai: The offspring of Mufasa. We got a hunting favor for you.
- Ed: *laugh*
- Shenzi: *hit Ed* Oh for crying out loud, we're gonna take a mane off of your chest.
- Banzai: Let's see what the lion is made out of.
- Ed: *giggle*
- Simba: *with Nala on the rocks* Does it feel great to relax on those rocks Nala?
- Nala: Sure is Simba. Living out on a happy life in the savanna.
- Simba: Can you feel the love tonight? *see the hyenas on the grass* Huh?
- Nala: Look out!
(The hyenas pop out of the grass with Simba charging at the hyenas with Nala joining in to fight the hyenas as a encounter strike occur between the groups)
- Simba: Shenzi...
- Shenzi: Hello Simba. It is great to see you again since the Battle of Pride Rock.
- Nala: You were suppose to be dead.
- Banzai: Eh. The fire isn't strong enough to roast us all like chicken wings.
- Ed: *laugh*
- Shenzi: *hit Ed* Shut, up! He's making fun of us.
- Simba: I'm asking you to get out of the Pride Lands. Aren't you suppose to be at the Outlands?
- Shenzi: No. But we're here to prey on you.
- Simba: Back off, predator.
- Banzai: Don't even say a word to our leader of the pack.
- Nala: You heard him.
- Ed: Uh?
- Simba: *get up with Nala* Let's do something new other than fighting.
- Nala: Hit it Simba.
- Simba: *play the radio's music and dance with Nala* Oh yeah!
- Shenzi: *she and the hyenas annoyed* Huh?
- Banzai: What the what?
- Ed: *laugh*
- Nala: *dance with Simba* I'm feeling the lines.
- Simba: *spin and dance by side with Nala* Oh yeah. Dancing for the Pride Lands.
- Timon: *show up with Pumbaa* Oh! What a surprise! It's Simba and Nala dancing in front of the hyenas.
- Pumbaa: Who could do a dance-off like that?
- Timon: Couldn't have said it myself.
- Pumbaa: I wonder how the hyenas got to say about this dancing moment.
- Banzai: Man. I'm feeling so dizzy.
- Shenzi: No more running around and let's get that head off the lion!
- Simba: *press knuckles and walk up to the hyenas* Get out of here and go to the Outlands where you belong!
- Shenzi: *she and her trio run off* Run away!
- Banzai: We'll be back!
- Ed: *laugh maniacally*
- Nala: What a show-off.
- Simba: What a way to scare off the hyenas.
- Nala: High five! *high five on Simba*
- Simba: *stand down with Nala* For the Pride Lands.
- Timon: Wow! How amazing you are, Simba.
- Simba: Timon and Pumbaa. I didn't see you there.
- Pumbaa: We just wanted to check on you.
- Simba: Hey, weren't you sneaking on us while facing the hyenas?
- Timon: We were about to see you until we were distracted by the hyenas.
- Pumbaa: They aren't letting go of themselves if it weren't for a zebra sandwich.
- Simba: No more hyenas to deal with and let's go home and have some lunch.
- Nala: I'm feeling a bit of Hakuna Matata around here.
- Timon: What a relief. We will be eating grubs, doing a snail-slurping contest and digga tunnah.
- Pumbaa: Oh, what a surprise!
- Simba: Never more the hyenas come.
(Simba, Nala, Timon and Pumbaa head home to Pride Rock after dancing in front of the hyenas at the end of the day)
THE END
Trivia[]
- The short is a pun of the movie The Lion King.
- The short is based on the Alpenliebe Creamfills Lion commercial where it shows a hunter on the savanna, encountering lions as the lions play the radio's music to dance before scaring off the hunter.
- Despite Shenzi, Banzai and Ed being shown alive while Simba is the king of the Pride Lands in his reign, the short is only a parody and is not canon within the Lion King mainline continuity.
