What's Your Line?

"Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his 21st year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast?"

Awesome opening and first lines in Beauty and the Beast.

Scar: [after forcing Simba to the edge of a cliff while a fire burns below] Now this looks familiar. Where have I seen this before? Hm, let me think. Oh, yes, I remember! This is just the way your father looked before he died. And now here's *my* little secret...

[whispering]

Scar: I killed Mufasa!

Adult Simba: Nooooo!

Adult Simba: [leaps back up and pounces on him] Nooo! Murderer!

"The Lion King"

Timon: So where you from?

Young Simba: Who cares? I can't go back.

Timon: Ah, you're an outcast! That's great. So are we.

"The Lion King"

Gaston "I'd like to thank you all for coming to my wedding. But first I'd better go in there and propose to the girl."

Well, yeah, that's pretty important. Beauty and the Beast.

^^ LOL



Timon: [of the decimated Pride Rock] We're gonna fight your uncle... for this?

Adult Simba: Yes, Timon. This is my home.

Timon: Whoa. Talk about your fixer-upper.

"The Lion King"

(Rafiki appears before Timon from a tree)

Timon: "You! No, no, don't say a word. I know what you're going to say." (Imitates Rafiki) "Did you find Hakuna Matata?" (Normal) "Well, yes, I did! Thank you very much." (Laughs) "And I am happy. Happy, happy, deliriously happy." (Imitates) "Ho ha ha! I see. Happy, is it? So, if you're so happy, why do you look so miserable?" (Normal) "Miserable, you say? Why should I be miserable? Oh, I don't know. Maybe my two best pals in the world deserted me. Heh. They - they've headed off on some heroic mission. . . My friends. . . are gone. And. . . my Hakuna Matata went with them!"

(Rafiki smiles and nods)

Timon: (Points to his head) "Would you mind?" (bows his head down)

(Rafiki lightly hits him on the head with his stick)

Timon: "Ay. Thanks. I'm glad we had this talk." (Clicks his tongue at Rafiki and runs off screen)

Rafiki: (Speaking for the first time in the scene) "My work here is done."

The Lion King 1 1/2.

Timon: Gee. He looks blue.

Pumbaa: I'd say brownish-gold.

Timon: No, no, no. I mean he's depressed.

Pumbaa: Oh.

"The Lion King"

"I have returned."

Elmer Fudd as MacArthur in Looney Tunes.

Timon: Repeat after me.

[clears throat]

Timon: Hakuna Matata.

Young Simba: What?

Pumbaa: [slower] Hakuna Matata. It means "no worries".

"The Lion King"

Zazu: "Let me out! Let me out!"

Timon: "Let me in! Let me in!"

The Lion King.

Eglentine Price: Filigree, apogee, pedigree, perigee!

"Bedknobs and Broomsticks"

Eglentine Price: "Treguna, Makoidees, Trecorum, Sadis Dee!"

Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Eglentine Price: You must have given us the wrong address! You don't live *here*, do you?

Mr. Browne: In point of fact I do. Temporarily, at any rate. I found the front door open, the house was deserted! Everyone has left the neighborhood.

Eglentine Price: Now why should they do that?

Mr. Browne: This probably has something to do with it.

[shows them a pit with an unexploded shell in it]

Eglentine Price: Merciful heavens! I should think you'd be *terrified* at the very idea of living here!

Mr. Browne: You'd have thought so, wouldn't you? I am by nature a *little* bit of a coward; but then I pondered, as I often do. In the perverse nature of things, this diabolical object is probably the best friend I've ever had. It has enabled me, for the first time in my life, to live like a king. Shall we go in?

"Bedknobs and Broomsticks"

German Soldier: (German) "It's a witch, sir!"

German Officer: (German) "Don't be a fool! There's no such thing as a witch!"

Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Eglentine Price: I don't believe in giving animals ridiculous names. I call him Cosmic Creepers, because that's the name he came with.

"Bedknobs and Broomsticks"

Home Guard: (Singing) "Call out the navy, call out the ranks, call out the air force, call out the tanks! From the cliffs of Dover, call up the gulls; and don't forget the loyal territorials! But who's digging in here? Who will defend, ev'ry inch of England, no matter what they send? Who's standing firm in their own front yard? The soldiers of the old Home Guard, that's who! The soldiers of the old Home Guard! For we wrote the story of the old brigade, we know the glory of yesterday's parades! Who's standing firm in their own front yard? The soldiers of the old Home Guard, that's who! The soldiers of the old Home Guard!"

Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I really liked the second time they did that song at the end.
