[Gosh Simba. Are you trying to convince Oogway? Or yourself? All of a sudden, he's remembering his conversation with Nala. About the Pridelands being overrun with hyenas. No water. No food. Everyone starving. And all of this under Scar's reign.
He doesn't want to think about it anymore. Slowly he gets to his feet.]

[But that voice isn't coming from the comm, it is coming from behind you, Simba. Oogway likes to hang out out here sometimes, too.]
So. [He settles nearby, long stick in hand, ostensibly for support] Why are you upset?

Jeez, what're you trying to do? Give me a heart attack?
[He settles back down and goes back to watching the ping pong game.]
I'm not upset.

I'm just out here enjoying the night.

[But to avoid being hit again, Simba does decide to come clean.]
My uncle was here. But he's gone now. I'm not upset about it. He didn't belong here. I just hope he's back where he needs to be.

[Come on! Isn't it obvious?]
They need him there.

Of course, your uncle must go back. I am sure he will take good care of his kingdom.
[Won't he, Simba?]
Come. I will show you something.
