Babar (1989) s01e02 Episode Script

HI, POPPA.
(♪♪♪)
UNCLE ARTHUR!
MOMMA, MOMMA.
(giggling)
(♪♪♪)
(♪♪♪)
AND, FOLLOWING YOUR TEN
O'CLOCK ADDRESS TO THE LEAGUE
OF LITERARY LOCALS
YOU MUST FINALIZE THE
FINANCES FOR THE COMING FISCAL
YEAR
ATTEND THE ANNUAL FLY-FISHING
FLOTILLA
AND TOTALLY REDEFINE THE
PALACE'S ECONOMIC POLICY AS
WE KNOW IT.
HM, I SHOULD THINK THE BEIGE
MORNING SUIT WOULD BE IDEAL FOR
THE LITERARY MEETING AND,
PERHAPS, SOMETHING BLUE FOR THE
ECONOMIC POLICY.
BABAR, ARE YOU BUSY?
NEVER TOO BUSY FOR YOU,
MY DEAR.
CAN WE SPARE A MINUTE,
CORNELIUS?
WITHOUT QUESTION, BABAR.
TAKE TWO, IF YOU WISH.
TA-DA.
THIS SHOULD DO THE TRICK.
HOW DO YOU DO?
SO GLAD YOU COULD COME.
(kids giggling)
(parents chuckling)
HOWDY, PARDNERS?
(kids giggling)
(Babar chuckling)
LOOK AT THAT.
HOW ABOUT THIS?
TENNIS, ANYONE?
HEY, NO FAIR SPYING.
WE JUST CAME IN TO SEE WHA
YOU'RE DOING, SON.
WELL, THERE'S TWO KIDS IN
SCHOOL.
THEY'RE A LITTLE OLDER THAN ME
AND I INVITED THEM OVER FOR
A VISIT.
SOUNDS LIKE FUN.
SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
ME.
I'M BORING.
BUT IF I CAN JUST FIND A NEW
WAY TO ACT, I'M SURE THEY'LL
LIKE ME.
CHANGING WHO YOU ARE IS NO
WAY TO IMPRESS PEOPLE, SON.
A LONG TIME AGO, WHEN I WAS JUS
A BOY LIKE YOU
I WAS VERY FRIGHTENED.
AFTER SEEING MY DEAR MOTHER DIE
AT THE HANDS OF THE HUNTER,
I FOUND MYSELF LOST AND ALONE
IN THE GREAT FOREST, AND ABOU
TO HAVE MY FIRST EXPERIENCE ON
"THE OTHER SIDE".
I WAS ABOUT TO DISCOVER
THE CITY.
NEVER BEFORE HAD I SEEN SUCH
WONDERS.
GOOD DAY.
HELLO, THERE.
(adult Babar)
BUT THE MEMORY OF THE HUNTER
CLOUDED MY THOUGHTS AND I WAS
AFRAID THAT ALL PEOPLE WERE
GOING TO BE LIKE HIM.
(kids laughing)
NICE DAY, ISN'T IT?
HOW ARE YOU?
(boy laughing)
WHOA!
OOF!
(kids laughing)
WHEE!
(steam whistle toots)
(ducks quacking)
(trumpeting)
(blowing air)
WOW.
HELLO.
(kitty meows)
GOODBYE.
(kids shouting)
HEY, NICE CATCH.
TOSS IT IN HERE, LITTLE
ELEPHANT.
OOF!
WHAT A WONDERFUL PLACE.
PEOPLE ARE NICE HERE.
(whistle tooting)
(Babar screaming)
(gasps)
UH-OH.
WHOA.
SAY, I'LL BET YOU'RE THE BIGGES
OF YOUR HERD, RIGHT?
(horn blasting)
WHOA!
(whistle tooting)
HELLO, THERE, MY NAME'S
BABAR.
WHAT'S YOURS?
(whistle tooting)
ARE YOU A BIRD?
YOU SOUND JUST LIKE A BIRD.
(whistle tooting)
SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS
ARE BIRDS.
OH, I GET IT.
THIS IS SOME KIND OF PEOPLE
GREETING RITUAL, ISN'T IT?
(horns honking)
(Babar tooting like whistle)
GET OUTTA HERE!
(panting)
OH
MY, MY, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU
COULD USE SOME HELP, LITTLE
FELLOW.
I'LL SAY.
COME ALONG.
LET ME HELP YOU ACROSS THE
STREET.
IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IN
THE CITY.
THE CITY?
IS THAT WHERE THIS IS?
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, MADAM.
YOU MAKE CROSSING THE STREE
LOOK EASY.
WELL, I'VE HAD A LOT OF
PRACTICE, UM
BABAR.
PLEASED TO MEET YOU, MADAM.
AND I, YOU.
WILL YOU BE NEEDING ANY
MORE HELP?
I THINK I CAN HANDLE I
FROM HERE.
BUT THANK YOU FOR ASKING.
MY PLEASURE.
GOODBYE, BABAR.
GOODBYE, MADAM.
WHAT A NICE OLD LADY.
IF EVERYONE IS THAT NICE,
I'LL HAVE NO TROUBLE FITTING IN.
HOW ARE YOU?
NICE DAY, ISN'T IT?
HOW ABOUT THIS WEATHER?
HELLO, THERE.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
HOW CAN I MAKE ANY NEW FRIENDS,
IF NO ONE WILL STAND STILL LONG
ENOUGH TO EVEN SAY HELLO?
HELLO THERE, LITTLE FELLOW.
(baby gurgling)
YOU, THERE, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING TO MY BABY?
NOTHING, HONEST.
I'M JUST TRYING TO BE FRIENDLY.
OH, A LIKELY STORY.
NOW RUN ALONG BEFORE I CALL
THE POLICE.
IF THIS IS WHAT LIFE IN THE
CITY IS LIKE, I'LL NEVER FIT IN.
MAYBE IT'S THE WAY I ACT,
OR LOOK.
WELL, WHATEVER IT IS, PEOPLE
JUST DON'T LIKE ME.
I'VE GOT NO FRIENDS, NO HOME,
AND NOTHING TO EAT.
OH, BOY, A WHOLE MOUNTAIN
OF FOOD!
LET'S SEE NOW, APPLES, BANANAS,
DATES, CARROTS
(humming)
(gasps)
STOP, THIEF!
HELP, POLICE!
(whistle tooting)
ALL RIGHT, PUT THE FRUIT DOWN
AND YOUR HANDS UP.
A HUNTER!
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
STOP, THIEF!
HE'S GETTING AWAY!
AFTER HIM!
HALT, OR I'LL SHOOT.
RUN AND HIDE, EVERYONE!
IT'S A HUNTER!
GANGWAY!
POLICE CHASE IN PROGRESS!
WHY CAN'T THESE HUNTERS JUS
LEAVE ME ALONE?
HELP! POLICE!
ASSISTANCE!
THERE HE GOES!
AFTER HIM!
(panting)
CORNERED.
HE'S GONNA SHOOT ME.
I'VE GOTTA HIDE.
I ENCOUNTERED THE CULPRIT ON
THE CORNER OF CULVER AND CLARK
CONCEALING A CARROT FROM KARL
THE GROCER, THEN CORNERED HIM
BEHIND KATE'S CAFE.
CASE CLOSED.
I'M AFRAID YOU'LL HAVE TO BE
PUNISHED, YOUNG FELLOW.
PUNISHED?
WHAT DID I DO?
A "432".
THIRTY DOLLARS
OR THIRTY DAYS.
CAN YOU PAY IT?
SURE, BUT WHAT'S A DOLLAR?
(sighs)
DO YOU HAVE ANY FRIENDS
THAT CAN PAY IT?
NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS
IN THE CITY.
OF COURSE YOU DO, BABAR.
I'D BE GLAD TO PAY YOUR FINE
FOR YOU.
CASE DISMISSED.
BUT HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS
IN TROUBLE?
YOU'VE MADE QUITE A NAME FOR
YOURSELF IN THIS CITY, BABAR.
HEY, THAT'S ME.
I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER
UNDERSTAND CITY WAYS.
THE CITY IS A GRAND PLACE TO
LIVE, BUT BEFORE ONE CAN FULLY
ENJOY IT, ONE MUST LEARN TO
UNDERSTAND IT, MUSTN'T ONE?
ONE MUST, I THINK.
(wind gusting)
(thunder rumbling)
MOMMA
MOMMA
(elephants trumpeting)
(rifle clicks)
(rifle shot)
MOMMA!
(thunder crashes)
BABAR.
OH, MADAM, IT WAS AWFUL.
THERE, THERE, BABAR.
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN HAVING
A BAD DREAM.
IT WAS A BAD DREAM, BUT ONE
THAT REALLY HAPPENED.
A MAN ATTACKED OUR HERD AND
KILLED MY MOTHER.
WHY DID HE DO THAT?
SOME PEOPLE HAVE A DISREGARD
FOR THE VALUE OF LIFE, BABAR.
THEY HUNT FOR TROPHY OR FOR
IVORY AND DON'T STOP TO THINK
ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR
ACTIONS.
WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL THAT ALL
PEOPLE ARE NOT LIKE THAT.
SO, WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS, BABAR?
WILL YOU RETURN TO YOUR HOME
IN THE FOREST?
YES.
BUT, FIRST, I WAS HOPING TO
LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOU
PEOPLE.
I'M NOT DOING VERY WELL ON
MY OWN.
MORE COCOA, MADAM?
VERY CLEVER, BABAR.
JUDGING FROM YOUR IMPECCABLE
COCOA-POURING, I'D SAY YOU ARE
A VERY QUICK STUDY, AND IF YOU
WOULD ALLOW ME TO DO SO,
I WOULD BE HONOURED TO SHOW
YOU OUR WAYS.
DO YOU MEAN IT?
YOU'D BE MY TEACHER?
I CAN STAY?
ONLY IF YOU WANT TO, BABAR.
OH, BOY!
DO I?
OOPS.
LESSON NUMBER ONE:
NO JUMPING IN THE HOUSE.
RIGHT?
(both laughing)
(adult Babar)
AND, SO BEGAN MY SCHOOLING IN
CITY LIFE.
INITIALLY, I FOUND SOME OF THE
CUSTOMS DIFFICULT TO MASTER.
BUT, WITH MADAM'S HELP, AND
A LITTLE INGENUITY, I MANAGED
TO LEARN A GREAT DEAL.
MY FIRST STEP WAS TO ACQUIRE
WHAT MADAM CALLED A SUIT OF
CLOTHES.
BUT I WASN'T QUITE SURE IF
I LIKED THEM OR NOT.
YUCK!
(adult Babar)
FINALLY, I CHOSE A SUIT OF
A BECOMING SHADE OF GREEN,
AND TOPPED IT ALL OFF WITH
A HANDSOME DERBY HAT.
AND WHAT WOULD A FASHIONABLE
SUIT OF CLOTHES BE WITHOU
A PAIR OF SPATS?
I LOOKED CIVILIZED.
(chuckling)
BABAR.
BUT I STILL HAD A FEW THINGS
TO LEARN.
EVERY DAY, AFTER MY MORNING
LESSONS
WHOA!
MADAM AND I WOULD TAKE LONG
RIDES IN THE BEAUTIFUL
COUNTRYSIDE IN OUR LITTLE
RED ROADSTER.
(car horn a-ooging)
MY DAYS WITH THE OLD LADY CAME
AT A TIME WHEN I NEEDED THEM
THE MOST.
THE LESSONS SHE TAUGHT ME ABOU
LIFE AND LIVING MADE ME WHA
I AM TODAY.
(gasps)
I AM FOREVER IN HER DEBT.
(laughing)
SAY "FROMAGE".
UNFORTUNATELY, FOR ME,
MY BIGGEST LESSON WAS YE
TO COME
IN THE FORM OF A MAJOR
EMBARRASSMENT.
OH, BABAR, JUST LOOK AT YOU.
THANKS TO YOU, MADAM.
I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU,
BABAR.
TO CELEBRATE, I'VE PLANNED A BIG
COMING OUT PARTY FOR YOU AND
INVITED THE WHOLE NEIGHBOURHOOD.
THE WHOLE NEIGHBOURHOOD?
I'M NOT SO SURE I'M READY.
NONSENSE.
IT'S JUST A PARTY FOR YOU AND
OUR FRIENDS.
YOU JUST BE THAT SAME CHARMING
LITTLE FELLOW I KNOW AND LOVE,
AND YOU'LL DO JUST FINE.
I PROMISE.
(adult Babar)
AND, SO, MY BIG NIGHT HAD
ARRIVED.
I DESPERATELY WANTED TO MAKE
A GOOD IMPRESSION.
HELLO, I'M BABAR.
SO GLAD YOU COULD COME.
BABAR AT YOUR SERVICE.
HI, THE NAME'S BABAR.
PLEASED TO MEET YOU.
OH, WHO AM I TRYING TO FOOL?
THIS CROWD WILL NEVER LIKE
SOMEONE LIKE ME.
WE ARE DOOMED.
BABAR, ARE YOU READY?
EVERYONE IS WAITING TO MEET YOU.
WHAT AM I GONNA DO?
I'M JUST NOT READY FOR THIS.
THEY ONLY LIKE PEOPLE WHO THINK
AND ACT LIKE THEY DO.
AHA!
MY DEAR FRIENDS, IT IS MY
EXTREME PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE TO
YOU A CHARMING YOUNG FELLOW,
MASTER BABAR.
GREETINGS, ALL.
HOW DO YOU DO?
SO GLAD YOU COULD COME.
NICE WEATHER WE'RE HAVING,
WOULDN'T YOU SAY?
BABAR, WHAT'S GOTTEN
INTO YOU?
WHATEVER DO YOU MEAN, MADAM?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS,
YOU KNOW?
TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.
I'M PRETTY SURE I KNOW WHAT I'M
DOING.
NOW, IF YOU WILL EXCUSE ME,
I HAVE GUESTS TO CHAT AT.
IN MY OPINION, A CRIMINAL
SHOULD BE PUNISHED TO THE FULL
EXTENT OF THE LAW.
ABSOLUTELY.
ABSOLUTELY.
LATELY, THEY'VE BEEN GETTING
OFF SCOT FREE.
RIDICULOUS.
RIDICULOUS.
AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOU
PUNISHING CRIMINALS?
IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
GOOD EVENING.
SO GLAD YOU COULD COME.
AN EXCELLENT SHOT, WOULDN'
YOU SAY?
HMPH.
REALLY.
BABAR, WE WOULD LIKE YOUR
OPINION ON SOMETHING.
BE RIGHT THERE.
BABAR, THIS IS ARMAND,
THE ARTIST.
HE WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO KNOW
WHAT YOU THINK OF HIS PAINTING.
YUCK.
OH, MY.
THAT STUFF TASTES AWFUL.
BABAR, WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO
YOU?
I'M TRYING TO IMPRESS OUR
GUESTS.
EXCUSE ME.
ALLOW ME, MADAM.
AHEM.
ALLOW ME.
(loud thud)
(gasps)
(loud thud)
DID YOU EVER?
NO, I NEVER.
(assorted comments)
BABAR, I'M SURPRISED AT YOU.
YOU'RE NOT ACTING AT ALL LIKE
YOURSELF TONIGHT.
THAT WAS MY PLAN.
ULD NEVER LIKE
ME JUST BEING ME.
YOU CAN'T BE ANYONE BU
YOURSELF, BABAR.
AFTER ALL, THERE'S ONLY ONE YOU.
(door closes)
WELL, WHAT DO YOU SAY, BABAR?
THERE IS ONLY ONE YOU.
I'D LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO ALL FOR
THE WAY I'VE BEEN ACTING.
I TRIED TO IMPRESS YOU BY BEING
SOMETHING I'M NOT.
SO IF YOU'LL GIVE ME ANOTHER
CHANCE, I'LL SHOW YOU THE
REAL ME.
GOOD FOR YOU, BABAR.
I THINK I'LL MAKE MYSELF
USEFUL.
SOME TEA, MADAM?
AND, FOR YOU?
IT'S NO PROBLEM.
(baby fussing)
I'M SORRY, HE MUST BE
A LITTLE TIRED.
OR A LITTLE BORED.
THERE'S NOTHING HERE FOR BABIES
TO PLAY WITH AROUND HERE,
IS THERE?
DEE DEE DEE DEE.
(baby imitating Babar)
DEE DEE DEE DEE DEE.
(baby giggling)
OH, THAT'S VERY CLEVER.
IT'S NOTHING, REALLY.
SO, YOU LEARNED THAT IN THE
FOREST, BABAR.
WHAT WAS LIFE IN THE FORES
REALLY LIKE, BABAR?
IS IT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM
CITY LIFE?
IT IS, IF YOU CONSIDER
SLEEPING IN BUSHES DIFFERENT.
(all gasping)
AND BATHING IN ICE-COLD
STREAMS DIFFERENT.
(all gasping)
BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY
OTHER WAY.
CITY LIFE IS MUCH DIFFERENT FROM
LIFE IN THE FOREST, BUT BOTH ARE
EXCITING IN THEIR OWN WAY.
TAKE FOREST PATROL, FOR EXAMPLE.
NOW THERE'S AN EXPERIENCE I'LL
NEVER FORGET.
IT WAS DURING THE WORST STORM IN
THE HISTORY OF THE GREAT FOREST,
AND AS PART OF THE PATROL, I
WAS MY
GOODNIGHT, BABAR.
GOODNIGHT.
GOODNIGHT.
GOODNIGHT, MADAM.
IT WAS A SPLENDID EVENING.
IT WAS A PLEASURE GETTING TO
KNOW YOU, BABAR.
YOU'RE A FINE FELLOW.
THE PLEASURE WAS ALL MINE,
I'M SURE.
WHAT A NICE BUNCH OF PEOPLE.
YOU CERTAINLY MADE QUITE
AN IMPRESSION ON THEM, BABAR.
(laughing)
FOR A WHILE THERE, THEY MUS
HAVE THOUGHT I WAS KIND OF
CUCKOO.
FOR A WHILE, BUT IN THE END,
THE REAL BABAR BECAME THE HI
OF THE PARTY, AND I THINK IT'S
TIME FOR THE HIT OF THE PARTY
TO GET TO BED.
I WAS SO PROUD OF YOU TONIGHT,
BABAR.
THANK YOU, MADAM, FOR
EVERYTHING.
IT WAS MY PLEASURE.
SWEET DREAMS.
(sighs)
MADAM?
DO YOU THINK IF MY MOTHER WERE
HERE, SHE'D BE PROUD OF ME, TOO?
VERY PROUD, BABAR.
YOU CAN BE SURE OF THAT.
AND ALL WAS RIGHT IN MY
LIFE AGAIN.
YOU HAVE THE MOSTEST TO OFFER
BY JUST BEING YOURSELF.
(adults laughing)
QUITE SO.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING, POM?
I'VE GOT TO GO MEET MY NEW
FRIENDS.
(kids giggling)
HOW ABOUT PICKING UP
(door slams)
THE HATS?
DON'T FRET ABOUT IT, MA'AM.
(all laughing)
OH, BABAR.
(laughs)
