"Simba" (Shrek) Part 20 - Sunrise / Lord Jafar's Proposal/ Wedding Prepartion (🎵🎵 Hallelujah🎵)

### The next Morning

Danny is asleep. Simba is nowhere to be seen. Nala is still awake. She is plucking petals from the sunflower.

**Nala:** I tell him, I tell him not. I tell him, I tell him not. I tell him. (she quickly runs to the door and goes outside) Simba! Simba, there’s something I want....

Nala looks and sees the rising sun, and as the sun crests the sky she turns back into Ariel along her name back to Ariel as well. Just as she looks back at the sun she sees Simba angrily stomping towards her.

**Ariel**: Simba. Are you all right?

**Simba**: Perfect! Never been better.

**Ariel**: I.... I don’t.... There’s something I have to tell you.

**Simba**: You don’t have to tell me anything, Princess. I heard enough last night.

**Ariel**: You heard what I said?

**Simba**: Every word.

**Ariel**: I thought you’d understand.

**Simba**: Oh, I understand. Like you said, "Who could love a hideous, ugly beast?"

**Ariel:** But I thought that wouldn’t matter to you.

**Simba:** Yeah? Well, it does. (Ariel looks at him in shock. He looks past her and spots a group approaching.) Ah, right on time. Princess, I’ve brought you a little something.

Jafar has arrived with a group of his men. He looks very regal sitting up on his horse. You would never guess that he’s only like 3 feet tall. Danny wakes up with a yawn as the soldiers

**Danny**: What’d I miss? What’d I miss? *(he spots the soldiers, mumbling to himself.)* Who said that? Couldn’t have been the Danny.

**Jafar**: Princess Ariel.

**Simba**: As promised. Now hand it over.

**Jafar:** Very well, lion. (holds out a piece of paper) The deed to your pride-lands, cleared out, as agreed. Take it and go before I change my mind. (Simba takes the paper) Forgive me, Princess, for startling you, but you startled me, for I have never seen such a radiant beauty before. I’m Lord Jafar.

**Ariel:** Jafar? Oh, no, no. (Jafar snaps his fingers) Forgive me, my lord, for I was just saying a short… (Watches as Jafar is lifted off his horse and set down in front of her. He comes to her waist.) farewell.

**Jafar:** Oh, that is so sweet. You don’t have to waste good manners on the lion. It’s not like it has feelings.

**Ariel**: No, you’re right. It doesn’t.

Danny watches this exchange with a curious look on his face.

**Jafar:** Princess Fiona, beautiful, fair, flawless Ariel. I ask your hand in marriage. Will you be the perfect bride for the perfect groom?

**Ariel:** Lord Jafar, I accept. Nothing would make....

**Jafar:** (interrupting) Excellent! I’ll start the plans, for tomorrow we wed!

**Ariel:** No! I mean, uh, why wait? Let’s get married today before the sun sets.

**Ariel:** Oh, anxious, are you? You’re right. The sooner, the better. There’s so much to do! There’s the caterer, the cake, the band, the guest list. Captain, round up some guests! (a guard puts Ariel on the back of his horse)

**Ariel:** Fare-thee-well, beast.

Jafar's whole party begins to head back to Atlantic. Danny watches them go.

**Danny**: Simba, what are you doing? You’re letting her get away.

**Simba**: Yeah? So what?

**Danny**: Simba, there’s something about her you don’t know. Look, I talked to her last night, She’s....

**Simba**: I know you talked to her last night. You’re great pals, aren’t ya? Now, if you two are such good friends, why don’t you follow her home?

**Danny**: Simba, I.... I wanna go with you.

**Simba**: I told you, didn’t I? You’re not coming home with me. I live alone! My Pridelands! Me! Nobody else! Understand? Nobody! Especially useless, pathetic, annoying, talking Dancing Cats!

**Danny**: But I thought....

**Simba**: Yeah. You know what? You thought wrong! (stomps off)

**Danny**: Simba.
