Rafiki Quotes:

  • Adult Simba: I know what I have to do. But going back means I'll have to face my past. I've been running from it for so long.

    [Rafiki hits Simba on the head with his stick]

    Adult Simba: Ow! Jeez, what was that for?

    Rafiki: It doesn't matter. It's in the past.

    [laughs]

    Adult Simba: Yeah, but it still hurts.

    Rafiki: Oh yes, the past can hurt. But from the way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it.

    [swings his stick again at Simba, who ducks out of the way]

    Rafiki: Ha. You see? So what are you going to do?

    Adult Simba: First, I'm gonna take your stick.

    [Simba snatches Rafiki's stick and throws it and Rafiki runs to grab it]

    Rafiki: No, no, no, no, not the stick! Hey, where you going?

    Adult Simba: I'm going back!

    Rafiki: Good! Go on! Get out of here!

    [Rafiki begins laughing and screeching loudly]

  • Rafiki: Asante sana Squash banana, Wiwi nugu Mi mi apana.

    Adult Simba: Come on, will you cut it out?

    Rafiki: Can't cut it out. It will grow right back. Hehehe.

    Adult Simba: Creepy little monkey. Would you stop following me! Who are you?

    Rafiki: The question is, who... are you?

    Adult Simba: [sighs] I thought I knew, but now I'm not so sure.

    Rafiki: Well, I know who you are! Shh. Come here, it's a secret.

    [Whispers, then grows louder]

    Rafiki: Asante sana Squash banana, Wiwi nugu Mi mi apana!

    Adult Simba: Enough already! What's that supposed to mean, anyway?

    Rafiki: It means you're a baboon... and I'm not.

    Adult Simba: I think you're a little confused.

    Rafiki: Wrong! I'm not the one who's confused. You don't even know who you are!

    Adult Simba: Oh, and I suppose you know?

    Rafiki: Sure do. You're Mufasa's boy!

    [Simba turns around to look at him, shocked]

    Rafiki: Bye!

  • Rafiki: Look down there.

    [Slowly Simba walks to the edge of the watering hole and peers inside. His reflection stares back at him]

    Adult Simba: That's not my father. That's just my reflection.

    Rafiki: No. Look harder.

    [Rafiki touches the water which causes waves that change Simba's reflection into Mufasa]

    Rafiki: You see? He lives in you.

    Mufasa's Ghost: [From above] Simba.

    Adult Simba: Father?

    Mufasa's Ghost: [He appears in the sky as a group of stars] Simba, you have forgotten me.

    Adult Simba: No. How could I?

    Mufasa's Ghost: You have forgotten who you are and so have forgotten me. Look inside yourself Simba. You are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the Circle of life.

    Adult Simba: How can I go back? I'm not who I used to be.

    Mufasa's Ghost: [Now fully formed in the sky] Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king. Remember who you are.

    Adult Simba: [Mufasa's ghost begins to disappear] No! Please! Don't leave me!

    Mufasa's Ghost: Remember.

    Adult Simba: Father!

    Mufasa's Ghost: Remember.

    Adult Simba: Don't leave me.

    Mufasa's Ghost: Remember.

  • Rafiki: What was *that*?

    [laughs]

    Rafiki: The weather - Pbbbah! Very peculiar. Don't you think?

    Adult Simba: Yeah. Looks like the winds are changing.

    Rafiki: Ahhh. Change is good.

    Rafiki: [Chuckles] You won't find him here. The king... has returned.

    Nala: I can't believe it. He's gone back!

    Timon: Gone back? What do you mean?
