• Kion : [as he sees Mufasa]  Hevi kabisa! Are you...

  Mufasa : Yes, Kion. I am your grandfather.

  Kion : Mufasa. I've heard a lot about you.

  Mufasa : And I've been watching you. You are about to embark on a great journey, Kion, leader of the Lion Guard!

  Kion : I'm not sure dad's gonna let me lead the Lion Guard. He's worried that I can't handle it.

  Mufasa : Kion. Simba is worried. But he's worried because he loves you. Being leader of the Lion Guard will not always be easy.

  Kion : Then maybe dad's right. Maybe I'm not ready to lead. Or use the roar. I'm not even sure I can control it! First, it's super loud. Then it's just a squeak. And I... I don't want to end up like Scar.

  Mufasa : Don't be afraid, Kion. Trust your instincts. The Roar will be there for you when you need it. And so will I. Until the Pride Lands' end.

• Kion : Well, l I'd never be like Scar. Ever!

  Simba : I'm glad to hear that, son. Because starting today, you are the leader of the new Lion Guard.

  Kion : I'm the what?

  Rafiki : You heard Simba. Ha-ha! The leader of the new Lion Guard? It is you! Yes! It. Is. You!

• Simba : Kion, the Lion Guard has always been made of lions. Do you really think a Lion Guard with only one lion can protect the pridelands?

  Kion : Well, actually...

  Simba : Son, listen. The Lion Guard isn't a game that you play with your friends. It's real. The circle of life and your life will depend on who's on your team. Please, Kion. There are plenty of good lions for the guard. I need you to take your new responsibility seriously. Just a seriously as Kiara takes hers.

• Kion : [about the previous Lion Guard]  So, what happened to them? It looks like they haven't been in here since... forever.

  Simba : I'm afraid it's a story without a happy ending.

  [rafiki points to the paintings] 

  Kion , Bunga : Whoa.

  Simba : When your grandfather Mufasa was about your age, his younger brother Scar was the leader of the Lion Guard. Scar also had the gift of the Roar. The Roar made Scar feel powerful. But that power went to Scar's head. He began to think that he should be king instead of his older brother Mufasa. So Scar ordered the Lion Guard to help him take down Mufasa. When the guard refused, Scar was furious. And then, Scar used the Roar to destroy the Lion Guard. What Scar didn't realize is that by using the Roar for evil, he would lose the power of the Roar completely.

  Kion : Hevi Kabisa.

  Bunga : Yeah.

  Rafiki : The Roar is a very powerful gift. It can be used for great good. But it can also lead to terrible evil.

• Kion : Dad, am I glad to see you. I'm not sure why but when I tried...

  Simba : Kion, Kiara tells me you've asked Bunga to join the Lion Guard.

  Bunga : Hey.

  Simba : Is this true?

  Kion : Well, yeah. I was just talking to my friends about it.

  Simba : Your friends? Kion, I asked you to assemble the new Lion Guard. Instead, you're just playing with your friends?

  Kion : I'm not playing, dad. My friends *are* the new Lion Guard. Fuli is the fastest, Beshte is the strongest, Ono is the keenest of sight, and the bravest, it's Bunga.

• Bunga : Hey, everyone. Everyone, listen to this. Simba just put Kion in charge of the new Lion Guard.

  Kiara : Lion Guard? What's a Lion Guard?

  Kion : Dad just told me about it. The Lion Guard is the team that protects the pride lands and defends the circle of life. And I'm its new leader.

  Bunga : I'm gonna be in the Lion Guard, too. It's unbungalievable!

  Kiara : You and Bunga protecting the pride lands? Does dad know about this?

  Kion : Dad told me to assemble the pride land's best.

  Bunga : And I'm the best. Just ask me.

• Kion : [after trying to use the roar]  What in the pride lands?

  Ono : That was different,

  Fuli : Kion, you call that a roar?

  [laughs] 

  Beshte : Didn't sound like a roar.

  Bunga : That wasn't the Roar. That was a squeak.

• Kion : Fuli, the Lion Guard needs you. You're the pride lands fastest.

  Fuli : You got that right. And you're supposed to be the fiercest?

  Beshte : Well, he is a lion.

  Ono : And lions are fierce. It's kinda common knowledge, really.

  Bunga : Show 'em the Roar, Kion. Show 'em the Roar.

  Fuli : What's Bunga talking about? The Roar? You think you're something special just 'cause you can roar?

• Kiara : [to Kion; who has been teasing her about her uptight nature]  What will *you* grow up to be, *little* brother?

  Kion : [With a playful smile, Kion leans closer so he's inches away from Kiara's face and speaks calmly and slowly, but jokingly]  *Happy*?
