Jo Gets a Scratch from a Lion!

Jo: Simba, it wasn't Kovu's fault! If he really was trying to kill you, he would never have come back to beg you for mercy! I told you to give him a chance to explain, but you wouldn't listen to me!

Simba: Jo, I am not going back on my word! Young woman, I can't believe you suggested having him stay in my kingdom in the first place! You said it would make things right! But instead, it brought us nothing but trouble! I thought you were supposed to be my friend. But after what has happened, I was wrong. For you are now considered a threat to not only my daughter and my family but also my kingdom!

Jo: WHAT?!?!

Serena: Simba, how could you talk to our friend that way?!

Iris: That was totally uncalled for!

Kiara: She's right, Fathеr! And Kovu loves me for me!

Simba: Bеcause you are my daughter, you will not leave Pride Rock! All of you can stay where I can keep an eye on you, away from him

May: (Gasps) Simba that was very cruel for what you said!

Max: Yeah, he said he knew nothing about the ambush!

Simba: He's blinded Kiara and all of you!

Dawn: No, [points her finger at him] YOU'RE the one who's blind!

Misty: Dawn's right, you're so consumed by the tragic events that happened in the Past as a little cub, you only see what you want to see!

Simba: Oh, c'mon!

Bonnie: How could you be so selfish, Simba?!

Hen: How could you be so selfish, hmm?

Serena: Yeah, you don't even see or care for what you're doing! You're treating Kiara like a prisoner and a child! You can't do that when you're being king!

Kiara: And you don't know him!

Jo: You know, Simba. Just because you're trying to protect the Pride Lands from Scar's legacy and Zira's wrath, doesn't mean you have to act like both Scar and Zira!

Simba: Don't you ever compare me to them, Jo! I know he's following in Scar's paw prints. And I must be following my father's

Kiara: Even if you were right about Kovu, there's no way to find out now. You will never be Mufasa!

(Everyone, including Simba was shocked at hearing this. Kiara runs into Pride Rock, crying.)

Brock: You sure have made your own daughter very upset!

Simba: I did what was best for her

Cilan: You mean you did what was best for yourself!

Simba: It wasn't quite that...

Mumble: For a great king, you're such a big overprotective jerk!

Simba: My friends, I told you all...

Clemont: [Cuts him off] You should have given Rocky a chance to explain!

(They stare disapprovingly at him)

Penguin 1: [Squawks] Face it! I am the aquatic animal and that's that!

(Everyone is frightened, but Jo.)

Jo: And you're a jerk, Simba! You've always been a jerk! Strangers from other lands try to be nice to you, but you can't ever see it. You're too busy protecting those you love and keeping the Pride Lands for yourself!

(Simba is shocked to hear what Jo just said)

Simba: I... I did it for Kiara, for the Pride Lands

Jo: You did it for yourself! And Kiara's right, you're nothing like Mufasa, you're just like Scar! And you always were and always will be!

(Simba is more shocked)

Simba: Jo... we're all on the same side, remember?

Jo: Things change, and people change! It's all over Simba! I'm done being your friend!

(Simba gasps in horror then Jo begins to walk off Pride Rock)

Simba: [Runs up to her] Jo, [grabs Jo's hand] wait! You don't understand!

(The Therizinosaurus slashes Simba in the face then pulls his hand back from Simba as his claws inadvertently slash Jo through the skin on her wrist, making her yelp in pain and making the pride, Rocky's friends, Rocky's penguins, and the animals gasp in horror. Jo looks at the claw marks on her wrist bleeding. Simba looks at everyone who stares at Jo in complete shock at what Jo just did.)

Nala: Simba!

Zazu: Your majesty!

Simba: Jo, I-I didn't...

(Jo loses control of her temper and snaps back at Simba even more.)

Jo: I don't want to hear it! You've done quite ENOUGH!!!

Simba: But let me explain! I didn't mean...

Jo: Don't even bother! I'm leaving! I don't care what you say, I don't care what you do, and right now I don't care if I ever see you again! I HATE YOU!!!

(Everyone is shocked and frightened, as Jo runs off from the zoo.)

Mumble: Don't worry, we're coming for you! (follows after him)

Simba: Jo! Jo, come back!

Jo: JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

(Owl summons the Griffin then Emily jumps on the Griffin's back and flies off. The heroes, Little Bear's friends, the elephant seal, the blue-footed booby, the marabous, the raven, the hyenas, and the penguins give Simba a cold angry stare and all turn their backs on him as they head into the cave, without saying a word.)

Simba: C'mon you guys. You all know I didn't mean to hurt Jo. Don't do this, please. Rocky? Apollo? Everyone, please don't be... mad at me

(It was no use, they all ignored him)

Simba: Nala, you know I didn't mean to hurt Jo

(But she turned her back on him too)

Simba: Nala...

Nala: I just can't talk to you right now

(She went into the cave with Zazu, Timon, Pumbaa, and the lionesses following her.)

Simba: Please...

(All that's left is the Pride Land animals who all witnessed the argument after they helped Simba drive Kovu away. Simba turns to the animals, hoping that they would add some defense on what he'd just done. But all he got from them were cold, angry stares after the way he treated his human friend, and they could only respond by turning their backs on him. Once all of the animals went back into their exhibit homes, Simba is now all alone, remorseful for what he has done.)

Simba: (sighs) What have I done?
