Makunga : Oops ! I hate to be a party
pooper, Zuba, but some of the other lions were wondering when
you plan to banish your son.
Zuba : What are you talking about Makunga ?
Makunga : It's nothing, really. They're griping
about how Alakay
never went through the rite of passage,
blah, blah, blah. So technically speaking, he can't be a member of the pride.
It's nonsense.
Zuba : I forgot about the rite of passage.
Alex : What is it ? What's this rite of passage ?
Zuba : It’s a traditional coming-of-age ceremony.
Young lions earn their manes by demonstrating their skills.
Alex : Sort of a show of skill ? Talent show ?
Zuba : Yeah. Strutting
their stuff.
Alex : A performance ! I think that's up my alley.
If it's a tradition, I want to do it. Strut my stuff. Earn my mane. I want to be
Alaki.
Lioness : Alakay.
Alex : Alakay ! Even better.
Zuba : We will hold the rite of passage in the morning !
Makunga : That's wonderful! Good luck, Alakay.
Alex : Where I'm from, we say, Break a leg !
Zuba : That's my boy !
Julien : I'm a private dancer. A dancer for money. Any old music will do.
Gloria : Beautiful, isn't it ?
Melman : Yeah !
Marty : It's amazing.
Alex : Guys...this is where we belong.
