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 therite 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'sup 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.
