Daily Dialogue — April 28, 2010

Mufasa’s ghost: [apears among the stars] Simba, you have forgotten me.
Adult Simba: No. How could I?
Mufasa’s ghost: You have forgotten who you are and so have forgotten me. Look inside yourself, Simba. You are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the Circle of Life.
Adult Simba: How can I go back? I’m not who I used to be.
Mufasa’s ghost: Remember who you are. You are my son, and the one true king. Remember..

 — Mufasa (James Earl Jones), Simba (Matthew Broderick), The Lion King (1994), screenplay by Irene Mecchi & Jonathan Roberts & Linda Woolverton

The Daily Dialogue theme this week is poignant father-son exchanges, suggested by JD Walters, who also suggested The Lion King.
