Zazu/Quotes and Lines

These are quotes and lines spoken by Zazu from Disney's The Lion King.

The Lion King

 * Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with your food?
 * I'm here to announce that King Mufasa's on his way. So you'd better have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning.
 * Ha! You'll lose more than that when the King gets through with you. He's as mad as a hippo with a hernia...
 * Well, as slippery as your mind is, as the King's brother you should've been first in line.
 * Pity! Why not?
 * He'd make a very handsome throw rug.
 * And just think, whenever he gets dirty, you can take him out and beat him.
 * [stops on a nearby rock] Good morning, sire!
 * Checking in with the morning report.
 * Well, the buzz from the bees is that the leopards are in a bit of a spot...
 * And the baboons are going ape over this. Of course, the giraffes are acting like they're above it all...
 * ...The tick birds are pecking on the elephants. I told the elephants to forget it, but they can't...
 * Yes, sire. [continues immediately] The cheetahs are hard up, but I always say ...
 * Cheetahs never prosper.
 * [Realizing something is amiss] What's going on?
 * Oh very good, pouncing. [realizing] Pouncing?!? Oh no, sire, you can't be serious... [Mufasa motions for Zazu to turn back around] Oh... this is so humiliating.
 * What are you telling him, Mufasa? [Looking around uneasily-- Simba and Mufasa seem to have disappeared.] Mufasa? Simba?
 * [leading Simba and Nala to the waterhole] Step lively. The sooner we get to the waterhole, the sooner we can leave.
 * Just look at you two. Little seeds of romance blossoming in the savannah. Your parents will be *thrilled*, what with your being betrothed and all.
 * Betrothed. Intended. Affianced.
 * One day, you two are going to be married.
 * Well, sorry to bust the old bubble, but you two turtledoves have no choice. It's a tradition going back generations.
 * Not so long as I'm around.
 * Hmmm... Nice try, but only the king can do that.
 * Not yet I don't. And with an attitude like that, I'm afraid you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king indeed.
 * That's Mr. Banana Beak to you, Fuzzy! And right now, we are all in very real danger.
 * And quite by accident let me assure you...
 * I madame, am the king's majordomo.
 * Uhh... technically, they can. We are on their land.
 * Ix-nay on the oopid-stay...
 * Oh, my, my, my. Look at the sun. It's time to go!
 * Oh no, not the birdie boiler! [Zazu rockets away, with his Tail Feathers on Fire]
 * Oh look, sire; the herd is on the move.
 * Your father's on the way! Hold on!
 * [to Mufasa; pointing at Simba, who is holding on to the branch of a dead tree in the middle of the stampede] There! There! On the tree!
 * Nobody knows the trouble I've seen.... Nobody knows my sorrow...
 * ....It's a small world after all--
 * I got a lovely bunch of coconuts... Deedly-dee-dee... There they are a-standing in a row... Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head..
 * Oh, I never would have to this to Mufasa.
 * Oh, nothing!
 * Yes, Sire! You are the king! I-I.. Well, I only mentioned it to demonstrate the differences in your own managerial approaches.
 * Oh, you wouldn't want me! I'd be so tough and gamy!
 * [caged while the battle rages around him] Let me out! Let me out!

The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar

 * "I've found him, Your Highness! Kion is over here!"

The Lion Guard

 * "I am fluent in Elephant. Not to mention gorilla, chimpanzee, and several dialects of bushbuck."
 * "Believe me, sire. By the time we get there, I'll have you speaking like a true elephant!"
 * "Come now, sire. It's really not as bad as all that."
 * "No, no, no, sire. Like this, Eihe kala pano tou."
 * "I'm not sure, sire, but I think you just said he had 'poop' on him."
 * "Oh! Mbuni, it's ma-un-de-lay-e-oh, ya uhhi. Remember that for tonight!"
