These lands belong to Scar!
―Zira confronts Simba[src]


Oh, haven't you met my son, Kovu? He was hand-chosen by Scar to follow in his pawprints and become king.
―Zira introduces Kovu to Simba[src]


Zira: Kovu was the last born before you exiled us to the Outlands, where we have little food, less water...
Simba: You know the penalty for returning to the Pride Lands!
Zira: But the child does not! However, if you need your pound of flesh...here.
—Zira offers Kovu's life to Simba[src]


Oh, no, Simba. We have barely begun.
―Zira[src]


You were supposed to be watching him!
―Zira scolds Nuka for not watching Kovu[src]


Zira: Who has made us Outsiders?
Kovu: Simba!
Zira: Who killed Scar?
Kovu: Simba!
Zira: And what have I told you about them?!
—Zira scolds Kovu[src]


Friends? You thought you'd get to the daughter. And Simba would welcome you with open arms? What an idea... What an idea! You brilliant child. I'm so proud of you! You have the same conniving mind that made Scar so...powerful.
―Zira plots against Simba[src]


I now see the path to our glorious return to power!
―Zira[src]


Hush, my little one. You must be exhausted.
―Zira to Kovu[src]


Good night, my little prince. Tomorrow, your training intensifies.
―Zira to Kovu[src]


You are ready! Nice...very nice... You have the same blackness in your soul that Scar had.
―Zira admires a full-grown Kovu[src]


Zira: What is your destiny?
Kovu: I will avenge Scar...take his place in the Pride Lands.
Zira: Yes! What have I taught you?
Kovu: Simba is the enemy.
Zira: And what must you do?
Kovu: I must kill him!
—Zira tests Kovu[src]


The fire rescue worked perfectly, and Simba fell for it. Now, the closer Kovu gets to the daughter, the closer he gets to Simba! And once he has Simba alone...
―Zira[src]


Kovu cannot betray us!
―Zira after Vitani witnesses Kovu sparing Simba[src]


What are you doing out here, and so...alone? Well done, Kovu. Just like we always planned.
―Zira frames Kovu[src]


Zira: What have you done?
Kovu: I didn't mean to... It wasn't my fault... I... I did nothing!
Zira: Exactly! And in doing so, you betrayed your pride...betrayed Scar!
Kovu: I want nothing more to do with him!
Zira: You cannot escape it. Nuka is dead because of you!
Kovu: No.
Zira: You've killed your own brother!
Kovu: No!
—Zira confronts Kovu for betraying her[src]


Simba has hurt me for the last time. Now, he's corrupted Kovu! Listen to me. Simba is injured and weak. Now is the time to attack! We will take his entire kingdom...by force!
―Zira rallies her pride[src]


Zira: It's over, Simba! I have dreamed of nothing else for years!
Timon: Boy, does she need a hobby.
Simba: Last chance, Zira. Go home.
Zira: I am home!
—Zira before the final battle[src]


Go for the eyes! Break his jaw! Hit him low! Get them! Do what you must!
―Zira coaches the Outsiders in attacking Simba's pride[src]


You're even weaker than I thought. Get out of the way!
―Zira to Kovu when he interferes with her fight against Simba[src]


If you will not fight, then you will die as well.
―Zira to Vitani when she refuses to kill Simba[src]


I'll never let it go! This is for you, Scar!
―Zira's last words[src]

Simba's son? Well, what an honor.
―Zira meets Kion[src]


Nuka: He pounced on me!
Zira: I'm sure you pounced first.
Nuka: Well, yeah.
—Zira and Nuka on Kion[src]


Friends with royalty? Gracious! I underestimated you, my dear.
―Zira to Jasiri[src]


Oh, yes! After all, it doesn't matter where we live. We're all lions. And that's what's important.
―Zira to Kion[src]


Don't worry, Kion. I'll tell you all about it. But first, you need to tell me, whose side are you on? Lions...or hyenas?
―Zira bargains with Kion over information about the Roar of the Elders[src]


Scar and I were close. Very close. He taught me all about the Roar! If it weren't for your father, he'd still be king of the Pride Lands.
―Zira to Kion[src]


If he uses the Roar against other lions, he'll lose it forever. And if he doesn't use the Roar... Well, he'll just lose. Either way, we win. Without the Roar, Kion is harmless. Without Kion, Simba's Pride Lands are defenseless.
―Zira to the Outsiders[src]


So...a Lion Guard with just one lion. Pathetic! Stand tall, my lions! We have this ridiculous group of animals outnumbered!
―Zira rallies the Outsiders against the Lion Guard[src]
