AUDITION SIDE – Simba & Rafiki from The Lion King JR.

SIMBA She’s wrong. I can’t go back. What would it prove, anyway? It won’t change anything.

(SIMBA sits. The silence is interrupted by an odd little tune.)

RAFIKI (offstage)

TAMATISO, A SO, A HELELE MA… (dances on and taunts SIMBA)

TAMATISO, A SO, A HELELE MA…

SIMBA Will ya cut it out?

RAFIKI Can’t cut it out. It’ll grow right back!

(SIMBA walks away. RAFIKI follows.)

TAMATISO, A SO, A HELELE MA… TAMATISO, A SO—

SIMBA Who are you?

RAFIKI The question is: Who are you?

SIMBA I thought I knew. Now I’m not so sure.

RAFIKI I know who you are. You’re Mufasa’s boy.

SIMBA You knew my father?

RAFIKI Correction. I know your father.

SIMBA I hate to tell you this, but my father died a long time ago.

RAFIKI Nope. Wrong again! He’s alive! I’ll show him to you. Shhhh... Look down there.

(SIMBA anxiously, cautiously approaches a pool of water. He looks in and sees the reflection of a lion.)

SIMBA That’s not my father. It’s just my reflection.

RAFIKI No... Look harder...
