• [Kiara and Kovu are stargazing] 

  Kovu : I've never done this before.

  Kiara : Really? My father and I used to do this all the time. He says all the Great Kings of the Past are up there.

  [chuckles] 

  Kovu : Do you think Scar's up there?

  [shocked, Kiara doesn't answer; realising what he just said, Kovu gets up and sits a short distance away; Kiara watches him sadly] 

  Kovu : He wasn't my father, but he was still... part of me.

  Kiara : [approaches Kovu]  My father has said there was a... a darkness... in Scar that he couldn't escape.

  Kovu : [ashamed]  Maybe there's a darkness in me too.

  [Kiara nuzzles him] 

• Kovu : I humbly ask to join your pride.

  Simba : No! You were banished, along with the outsiders.

  Kovu : I have left the outsiders. I'm a rogue, judge me now, for who I am. Or am I to be blamed for a crime I didn't commit?

• [Kiara and Kovu are running with Timon and Pumbaa] 

  Kovu : Why are we doing this? What's the point of this training?

  Kiara : Training? This is just for fun!

  Kovu : Fun?

  Timon : Yeesh! You need to get out more. Fun! Yee-ha!

• Kovu : [talking to himself]  OK, I have to tell her today.

  [groans] 

  Kovu : Where do I start? "Kiara, Zira had a plot, and I was part of it, but I don't *wanna* be... because... it's because I love you."

  [sighs sadly] 

  Kovu : She'll never believe me... but I gotta try.

• [Kovu just rescued Kiara from the wildfire] 

  Kiara : Where am I?

  Kovu : You're safe - in the Pride Lands.

  Kiara : The Pride Lands? No! Why'd you bring me here? Who do you think you are?

  Kovu : [shocked]  I think I'm the one that just saved your life!

  Kiara : Look, I had everything under control.

  Kovu : Not from where I'm standing.

  Kiara : Then move downwind.

• Kovu : [points out where the grass has grown back from the fire, between them]  Hey, look... we are one.

  Kiara : What?

  Kovu : Let's get outta here. We'll run away together! And start a pride... all our own.

  Kiara : Kovu... we have to go back.

  Kovu : You're kidding. But we're finally together!

  Kiara : Our place is with our pride. If we run away, they'll be divided forever.

• [Kiara and Kovu are stargazing] 

  Kiara : That one looks like a cute bunny. See the fluffy tail?

  Kovu : Yeah. Hey! That one looks like two lions killing each other for a scrap of meat! Ah, I've never done this before!

• Zira : What is your destiny?

  Kovu : I will avenge Scar. Take his place in the Pride Lands.

  Zira : Yes! What have I taught you?

  Kovu : Simba is the enemy.

  Zira : And What... must... do?

  Kovu : I must *kill* him!

• Simba : Kiara?

  Zira : Kovu! Move.

  Simba : Stand aside.

  Kiara : Daddy, this has to stop.

  Zira : You're even weaker than I thought. Get out of the way!

  Kovu : You'll never hurt Kiara *or* Simba! Not while I'm here.

  [Zira snarls] 

  Simba : Stay out of this.

  Kiara : A wise king once told me, "We are one." I didn't understand him then. Now I do.

  Simba : But... they...

  Kiara : Them? Us? Look at them! They *are* us. What differences do you see?

• Kiara : Hey. Thanks for saving me today.

  Kovu : What kind of hunter are you anyway, princess? You almost got yourself killed out there.

  Kiara : What?

  Kovu : You wouldn't last three days on your own.

  Kiara : Oh, and I suppose *you* could teach me?

  Kovu : Yeah.

  Simba : Kiara!

  Kiara : Coming!

  [stalls Kovu] 

  Kiara : All right, impress me. We start at dawn.

  [goes inside] 

  Kovu : I look forward to it.

• Simba : Why have you come back?

  Kovu : Simba, I had nothing to do with...

  Simba : You don't belong here.

  Kovu : Please. I ask your forgiveness.

  Kiara : Daddy, please. Listen to him.

  Simba : [to Kiara]  Silence!

  [back to Kovu] 

  Simba : When you first came here you asked for judgement. And I pass it now!

  [animals were telling Simba to exile Kovu] 

  Simba : Exile!

  Kiara : No!

• Rafiki : And where are you going?

  Kovu : Uh... Nowhere.

  Rafiki : Ha. That's what you think.

  Kovu : Who was that?

  Kiara : A friend of the family.

  Rafiki : Come on. You follow old Rafiki. He knows the way.

• Timon : Hey! Wait! I have an Idea.

  [he jumps off of Pumbaa] 

  Timon : What if he helps?

  Pumbaa : What?

  Timon : [to Kovu]  You wanna lend a voice? Huh? Grr... gr... Roar! Work with me!

  Kovu : Huh?

  Kiara : Like this.

  [she rawrs. The birds were scattered] 

  Timon : Wooo hoo! Come on, do it again! Do it again!

  Timon : [Kovu rawrs making the birds scatter even more]  Yee-haa!

• Zira : Scar, watch over my poor Nuka.

  [furiously turns to Kovu] 

  Zira : You!

  [slashes at Kovu, giving him a scratch over his eye just like Scar's] 

  Zira : What have you done?

  Kovu : I didn't... I-I didn't mean to, i-it wasn't my fault, I... I did *nothing*!

  Zira : Exactly! And in doing so, you betrayed your pride. Betrayed Scar!

  Kovu : I want nothing more to do with him!

  Zira : You cannot escape it! Nuka is dead because of *you*!

  Kovu : No.

  Zira : You've killed your own brother!

  Kovu : NO!

  [flees] 

• [Zira has fallen to her death in the rapids; Kiara sighs in remorse] 

  Simba : Kiara.

  [holds out his paw] 

  Kiara : Daddy.

  [takes Simba's paw] 

  Kiara : I tried.

  [they climb out of the gorge] 

  Nala : [embraces her daughter]  Kiara!

  [everybody gathers around] 

  Pumbaa : Wow! That was really brave!

  Timon : Yee-ha!

  Kiara : [approaches Kovu]  Kovu.

  Kovu : Oh, Kiara.

  [they embrace] 

  Simba : [regretfully]  Kovu?

  [Kovu approaches him] 

  Simba : I was wrong. You belong here.

  [Kovu and Simba smile at each other; Kiara embraces Kovu] 

  Simba : Let's go home.

  [turns to the Outsiders] 

  Simba : *All* of us.
