Babar (1989) s01e07 Episode Script

HI, POPPA.
(♪♪♪)
UNCE ARTHUR!
MOMMA, MOMMA.
(giggling)
(♪♪♪)
(piano ♪♪♪)
(applause)
WASN'T SHE JUST SO BEAUTIFUL?
MOM, WAS THAT REAL LIGHTNING?
WOW, THAT WAS A GREAT SHOW.
THIS IS MY MOST FAVOURITE
PLACE IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
YEAH, THIS PLACE IS THE BEST.
YOU KNOW, CHILDREN, THERE WAS
A TIME WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE THE
PLAYHOUSE WAS GOING TO BE TORN
DOWN.
NO.
YES.
TELL US WHY, POPPA.
YEAH, DAD, TELL US WHY.
PLEASE!
VERY WELL, CHILDREN, IF YOU
INSIST.
IT ALL STARTED WITH A STORM --
THE WORST STORM IN THE HISTORY
OF THE GREAT FOREST.
THE PLAYHOUSE WAS STRUCK BY
LIGHTNING.
THE CELESTEVILLE FIRE BRIGADE
COULD DO NOTHING BUT CONTROL
THE FLAMES AND WHEN THE SMOKE
CLEARED AND THE SUN CAME UP,
PLAYHOUSE WAS A SMOULDERING
SHELL.
(young Babar)
IT DOESN'T LOOK SO BAD.
A LITTLE PAINT HERE AND THERE
AND IT'L BE AS GOOD AS NEW.
MY TUSS, ABAR, THIS IS
DISASTRUS, NOT TO MENTION
HORRIBLE AND CATASTROPHOUS.
DON'T WORRY, CORNELIUS.
WE'LL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
REPAIR IT, RIGHT, HANDYMAN?
AFTER AN EXTENSIVE
EXAMINATION OF THE SUB- AND
SUPER STRUCTURES COUPLED WITH
A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF THE
EXISTING LOAD-BEARING BEAMS,
IT IS MY PRFESSIONAL
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE FACADE
IN QUESTION BE REMAINDERED AND
REDEFINED.
WE TEAR T DOWN AND TURN I
INTO A BISTRO.
TEAR IT DOWN?
McBABAR'S, A RESTAURNT FI
FOR A KING.
IT COULD E VRY POPULAR
SOME DAY.
THAT'S A NICE IDEA, HANDYMAN,
BUT I TINK WE'LL JUST REPAIR
THE PLAYHOUSE.
HAVE IT YOUR WAY, BUT IT'LL
COST EXTRA.
THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN MONEY.
ABSOLUTELY.
WELL SAID, SIRE.
HOW MUCH EXTRA?
WHOA, THAT'S A LOT OF ZEROES.
THE PALACE CAN'T AFFORD THIS.
COULD THEY NAME DINNERS
AFTER US?
AH, YES, LIKE "CREPES
POMPADOUR".
AND "HANDYMAN HASH BROWNS".
WAIT A MINUTE, YOU CAN'
BE SERIOUS.
EVERY NIGHT, AND TWICE ON
SATURDAYS, PEOPLE COME HERE TO
FORGET THEIR TROUBLES,
TO WATCH AS DREAMS AND FANTASIES
BECOME REAL, AND IF THERE'S ONE
THING MY MOTHERTAUGHT ME,
IT'S OKAY TO BELIEVE IN DREAMS.
E
I HER MEMORY.
I JUST CAN'T ALLOW IT TO BE
TORN DOWN.
I'M SURE WE CAN ACCOMPLISH
ANYTHING YOU DECIDE, BABAR.
THEN LET ME ACOMPLISH
MY DREAM.
THE PLAYHOUSE BELONGS TO
EVERYON.
LET'S ASK EVERYONE TO HELP
REBUILD IT.
A COMMUNITY PROJECT.
WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA, SIRE.
SOME CITIZENS CAN DONATE
THE SUPPLIES, SOME CAN DONATE
TEIR TIME.
WE CAN ALL REPAIR IT TOGETHER.
THE "HELP SAVE THE PLAYHOUSE"
PROJECT.
LET'S GO, WE'VE GOT WORK
TO DO.
(adult Babar)
AND, SO, WORD WAS SPREAD
THROUGHOUT CELESTEVILLE
INVITING ONE AND ALL TO COME
HELP REBUILD THE PLAYHOUSE.
THE RESPONSE TO OUR PLEA WAS
EVEN BETTER THEN EXPECTED,
AND THE "SAVE THE PLAYHOUSE"
PROECT GOT OFF TO A GRAND
START.
UNFORTUNATELY, ARTHUR HAD IDEAS
OF HIS OWN.
IT WAS THEN THAT OUR SUPPLIES
STARTED TO MYSTERIOUSLY
DISAPPEAR.
HM
A PLANK HERE, A PILE OF BRICKS
THERE.
ALL WERE NECESSARY TO
COMPLETE THE PLAYHOUSE
AND ALL WERE THINGS THA
COULD ADD UP TO ONLY ONE THING
-- ARTHUR WAS BUILDING
SOMETHING OF HIS OWN.
HEY, COME BACK!
DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE TRYING TO
BUILD ANOTHER ROCKET.
YEP, I'M GOING STRAIGHT TO
THE MOON.
IF JULES VERNE CAN DO IT,
SO CAN I.
OH, ARTHUR, THAT'S JUS
A STORY, AND, BESIDES, THE MOON
IS THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY.
(gasping for air)
YOU WAIT AND SEE.
WHEN I'M FINISHED, I PLAN TO BE
THE FIRST ELEPHANT ON THE MOON
-- IN HONOUR OF CELSTEVILLE.
(laughs)
SO, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE UP TO.
JUST WAIT TILL LORD RATAXES
HEARS ABOUT THIS.
EN GARDE!
TAKE THAT, BABAR.
ALL HAIL LORD RATAXES,
KING OF THE JUNGLE.
LORD RATAXES!
IT'S BASIL BEARING BIG NEWS.
ARE YOU BUSY, SIR?
OF COURSE, I'M BUSY.
WHAT'S IT LOOK LIKE?
IT'S ABOUT THOSE PUDGY
PACHYDERMS--
ORGET THE ELEPHNTS.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ABOUT MY
ANNIVERSARY?
LADY RATAXES HAS BEEN HINTING
AROUND FOR HER GIFT ALL DAY.
WHAT AM I GETTING HER THIS YEAR,
ANYWAY?
I WASN'T AWARE YOU WERE IN
NEED OF A GIFT, YOUR RHINENESS.
WHAT KIND OF AN ADVISOR
ARE YOU?
AS MY ADVISOR, IT'S YOUR DUTY TO
ADVISE ME TO ADVISE YOU TO GE
A NICE GIFT FOR MY WIFE.
EVERY YEAR, SHE WANTS SOMETHING
DIFFERENT, SOMETHING UNIQUE,
AND EVERY YEAR I GET THE SAME
THING -- A LOUSY HORN-WARMER.
VERY PRACTICAL, SIR.
WELL, I'VE HAD IT.
YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I'M GETTING
LADY RATAXES THIS YEAR, BASIL?
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'M GETTING
HER -- NOTHING.
SOONER OR LATER, SHE'S GONNA
REALIZE I'M THE KING OF THIS
CASTLE.
I WEAR THE PANTS IN THIS FAMILY.
RATAXES!
(nervous gasp)
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HUGGUMS.
OH!
DO YOU LIKE YOUR GIFT, DEAR?
IT'S JUST WHAT I'VE ALWAYS
WANTED.
GOOD.
NOW WHERE'S MINE?
FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK.
BASIL AND I WERE JUST TALKING
ABOUT THAT, WEREN'T WE, BASIL?
YOU MEAN ABOUT HOW YOU WEAR
THE PANTS IN THIS FAMILY AND
HOW YOU--
NOT PANTS, YOU FOOL,
HORN-WARMERS.
I WEAR THE HORN-WARMERS IN THIS
FAMILY, RIGHT, DEAR?
WHERE IS MY GIFT?
WELL, YOU SEE, I HAVEN'
QUITE DECIDED ON YOUR GIFT YET,
DEAREST.
I WAS THINKING MA
CARD--
AND?
AND I WAS GOING TO GET YOU--
THE MOON.
THE MOON?
THE MOON?
OH, WHAT A PERFECT GIFT.
YOU'VE NEVER PROMISED ME THE
MOON BEFORE.
T WOULD BE A DREAM COME
TRUE.
BUT I CAN'T GET YOU THE MOON.
BUT I WANT IT, DEAR.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
GETTING ME THE MOON WOULD BE
THE PERFECT WY FOR YOU TO
EXPRESS YOUR LOVE FOR ME.
SO, GET OUT THERE AND EXPRESS
YOUR LOVE.
WHATEVER GAVE YOU THE IDEA
I COULD GIVE HER THE MOON?
SAY, IS THIS WHAT I THINK
IT IS?
YOU HAVE A KEEN EY, SIR.
BABAR IS PLANNING TO FLY THE
FIRST ELEPHANT TO THE MOON.
BABAR!
THE RHINOS WILL BE FIRST.
IF THY CAN BUILD A RCKET,
S CAN WE.
WE'LL O DOWN IN HISTORY.
AFTER I BEAT BABAR TO THE
MOON I'LL TIE A NICE BOW AROUND
IT FOR MY LADY
CALL THE SCIENTISTS.
CALL THE CARPENTERS.
WE'RE GOING TO THE MOON!
(hammering)
WE'RE REALLY MAKING PROGRESS.
THE ROYAL SPY TO SEE YOU,
SIRE.
I DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD
A ROYAL SPY, CORNELIUS.
A GOOD MAN, QUITE CAPABLE.
AT YOUR SERVICE, KING ABAR.
I BRING NEWS FROM RONOLAND
OVER HERE, SPY.
QUIET, I AM TALKING TO
THE KING.
BUT I AM THE KING.
I KNEW THAT.
I WAS JUST TESTING YOU,
THAT'S ALL.
OF COURSE.
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO TELL ME?
I HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY,
MOSTLY MY OWN, THAT AT THIS VERY
MOMENT RATAXES AND HIS REBEL
RHINOS ARE PLANNING TO CONQUER
THE MOON.
CONQUER THE MOON?
THAT'S HORRIBLE.
THAT'S DEPLORABLE.
THAT'S RATAXES.
EVEN RATAXES WOULDN'T TRY
SOMETHING AS SILLY AS THAT.
HEADS DOWN!
I CLAIM THIS HERE MOON IN THE
NAME OF HIS RHINESS, LORD
RATAXES.
(clearing throat)
OH, MY GOSH, THE ELEPHANTS
BEAT US.
NO, WE HAVEN'T.
THEN THERE'S STILL TIME.
I'D BETTER TELL RATAXES.
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
RATAXES IS TRYING TO BEAT ME
TO THE MOON.
THIS IS DISASTROUS.
WE MUST FIND SOME WAY TO BEA
THE RHINOS.
I, FOR ONE, DO NOT PLAN
TO GO TO SLEEP BY THE LIGH
OF A RHINOCEROS MOON.
HEAR, HEAR.
IF IT'S A RACE RTAXES WANTS,
A RACE HE'LL GET.
WAIT A MINUTE.
NO ONE CAN CLAIM THE MOON.
IT'S THERE FOR EVERYONE
TO ENJOY.
INSTEAD OF GETTING CAUGHT UP IN
SOME SILLY RACE, LET'S DEDICATE
OUR EFFORTS TO SOMETHING
WORTHWHILE, LIKE REBUILDING THE
PLAYHOUSE.
THE MOON IS WORTHWHILE.
GETTING RATAXES IS
WORTHWHILE.
THEN I SUGGEST WE EXAMINE
THESE ROCKET PLANS OF YOUNG
ARTHUR'S IN MORE DETAIL,
FOR THE GREATER GLORIFICATION
OF CELESTEVILLE.
YEAH.
AND THE HONOUR OF OUR KING.
ALL IN FAVOUR?
YAY!
TO THE ROCKET SITE.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PLAYHOUSE?
WHAT ABUT THE DREAM?
(adult abar)
AND, SO, EVERYONE RUSHED OFF TO
JOIN THE MOON RACE, LEAVING
ONLY THE THREE OF US TO FINISH
OFF THE PLAYHOUSE.
AH!
OUCH!
DARN THAT ARTUR.
THIS S ALL HIS FULT.
HE'S GOT EVERYONE BELIEVING THE
CAN ACTUALLY FLY TO THE MON.
CELESTE?
BABAR.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST MARCH RIGH
OVER THERE AND ORDER THEM TO
STOP WASTING THEIR TIME?
I COULDN'T DO THAT.
IF THEY THINK WORKING O
A ROCKET IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN
HELPING US, THEN I CAN'
STOP THEM.
THEIR DREAM IS TO SHOOT FOR
THE MOON.
MINE IS TO REBUILD THIS
PLAYHOUSE, NO MATTER WHAT.
WELL, THEY'RE WRONG, AND I'M
GOING TO GO TELL THEM THA
RIGHT NOW.
AND THAT GOES FOR ME, TOO.
(adult Babar)
ALTHOUGH CELESTE AND ZEPHIR'S
INTENTIONS WERE GOOD, THEY,
TOO, GOT WRAPPED UP IN THE
GLAMOUR OF IT ALL.
HM, GOOD REFLEXES.
HUH?
AT EASE IN HIGH PLACES.
SAY, WHAT IS THIS?
SOME KIND OF CHECK-UP?
PRECISELY.
UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU'D
RATHER NOT BE OUR ROYAL ROCKE
PILOT.
OH, ZEPHIR, ROYAL ROCKE
PILOT.
ARRRGH, ARTHUR, NOW LOOK WHA
YOU'VE DONE.
WHAT ABOUT BABAR AND THE
PLAYHOUSE?
DID YOU SEE THAT?
WHAT A FOLLOW-THROUGH.
MISS CELESTE, WOULD YOU DO
US THE HONOUR OF CHRISTENING
OUR ROYAL ROCKET?
ME?
YOU WANT ME TO CHRISTEN
THE ROCKET?
ALL OF CELESTEVILLE WOULD BE
DEBT.
WELL, I GUESS UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES, BABAR WOULD
UNDERSTAND.
I MEAN, IT'LL ONLY TAKE
A MINUTE.
(adult Babar)
I COULDN'T BLAME THEM FOR WHA
THEY DID, BUT IT STILL HURT.
(young Babar)
I GUESS IT'S JUST YOU AND
ME NOW, MOM.
START THE COUNT UP.
START THE COUNT UP.
OH, MY
ONE, TWO, THRE,
FOUR, FIVE!
RATAXES!
YES, DEAREST.
HURRY UP WITH THE MOON.
THEY SAY ITS COLOUR MATCHES
MY EYES.
I DIDN'T KNOW "BLOODSHOT" WAS
A COLOUR.
(chuckling)
WHAT WAS THAT?
NOTHING, DEAR.
JUST RESTARTING THE COUNT UP.
RESTARTING THE COUNT UP.
ONE, TWO--
THREE FOUR FIVE
BLAST OFF!
THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT.
I BEAT BABAR AND PLEASED LADY
RATAXES ALL IN ONE DAY.
IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER
THAN THIS, DOES IT?
PROGRESS REPORT, PLEASE.
I JUST HAVE TO PUT THIS LID
ON AND WE'RE ALL SET.
I BRING NEWS FROM RHINOLAND.
SPEAK, SPY.
RATAXES' LATEST ROCKET IS
ALMOST FINISHED.
IN A FEW MINUTES, HE'LL BE
FLYING OFF.
OH!
WE'VE GOTTA FIòH THIS
ROCKET FAST.
GET A LADDER.
GET A CRANE.
GET SOMETHING.
(hammering)
FIRST THE STAGE CAVES IN
THEN THE LOBBY SPRINGS A LEAK.
WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG?
OHHH!
I HAD TO ASK.
BLAST THAT BABAR,
HE'S ALMOST FINISHED!
WHERE'S THE PILOT?
LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE MOON.
I'M AFRAID WE'RE ALL OUT OF
PILOTS, SIR.
I'M FALLING BEHIND SCHEDULE.
WHERE CAN I FIND A PILOT A
THIS HOUR?
(nasty chuckle)
ONE PILOT COMING UP.
IF I CAN JUST GET THIS ROOF
SHORED UP I'LL BE HOME FREE
(loud rumbling)
OH, MY GOSH, THE ROOF'S
CAVING IN!
(straining)
BABAR, COME QUICK!
IT'S REALLY URGENT!
AND THIS ISN'T?
THIS JOB IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ONE
PERSON TO HANDLE.
I NEED--
HELP, BABAR, HELP!
OH, NO, RATAXES HAS CAUGH
ZEPHIR.
THAT'S WHAT I CAME TO
TELL YOU.
HE'S IN BIG TROUBLE.
I'M SORRY, MOM, BUT HE'S MY
BEST FRIEND.
(adult Babar)
AT THAT POINT, I HAD JUST ABOU
ENOUGH OF THAT SILLY MOON RACE,
AND WITH ARTHUR'S HELP,
I DECIDED TO FIGHT SILLY
WITH SILLY.
OH, WELL, YOU ALWAYS WANTED
TO SEE THE WORLD, ZEPHIR.
THIS WAY, YOU GET TO SEE IT ALL
AT ONCE.
WE'RE RARING TO GO.
(nasty chuckle)
RATAXES!
IF IT'S ABOUT THE MOON,
IT'S COMING.
OH, I JUST CAN'T WAI
TO SEE IT.
ANY LAST REQUESTS?
TRDE PLACES WITH ME?
AH, IN YOUR DREAMS.
(nasty chuckle)
START THE COUNT UP.
START THE COUNT UP.
ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE!
LOOK OUT BELOW!
HUH?
(gasps)
WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU?
WE ARE ALL-POWERFUL MOON MEN.
WE HAVE COME TO STOP YOUR ATTACK
ON OUR HOME.
THE MOON?
WAIT A MINUTE, HOW DO WE KNOW
YOU'RE REALLY MEN FROM THE MOON?
YEAH, YOU COULD BE FROM ANY
OF THOSE PLANETS UP THERE.
YOU NEED PROOF?
SOME CHEESE, MAYBE?
SAY, REA GREEN CHEESE.
THESE GUYS ARE THE GENUINE
ARTICLE.
WE WEREN'T TRYING TO ATTACK
YOUR HOME, HONEST.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
I JUST WANTED TO CONQUER IT,
THAT'S ALL, FOR MY WIFE'S
ANNIVERSARY PRESENT.
ANNIVERSARY?
HOW COULD I FORGET?
TODAY IS MY ANNIVERSARY.
YOU DON'T SAY.
SMALL GALAXY, ISN'T IT?
SILENCE, EARTH PEOPLE.
SINCE WE SHARE THE SAME
NUPTIAL DATE, INSTEAD OF
DISINTEGRATING YOU
WE WILL MAKE YOU A TRADE.
A TRADE?
YES, YOU MAY HAVE OUR MOON
IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR PILOT.
YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING.
MOON MEN NEVER KID.
(laughing)
OH!
ADVISE ME.
SHOULD I MAKE THIS TRADE?
YOU'D BE A FOOL NOT TO.
DO WE HAVE A DEAL?
DEAL!
(cheering)
THAT BABAR IS ONE SLY FELLA.
BOY, YOU GUYS WERE GREAT.
IT WAS ALL BABAR'S IDEA.
I THOUGHT HE WAS KIDDING WHEN HE
TOLD ME TO PUT THIS STUFF ON.
MOON MEN NEVER KID.
(all laughing)
(announcing)
WILL ALL SUBJECTS PLEASE REPOR
TO THE ROCKET STAND.
HEY, THE ROCKET'S READY.
LET'S GO.
YOU'D BETTER HURRY, ZEPHIR.
YOU WOULDN'T WANNA MISS YOUR
FLIGHT.
LET 'EM GET ANOTHER MONKEY.
THIS WHOLE MOON RACE THING IS
OVERRATED, ANYWAY.
I'M REALLY SORRY FOR LEAVING YOU
ALONE, BABAR.
I GUESS WITH ALL THE EXCITEMENT,
I FORGOT WHAT'S IMPORTANT.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, PARTN»
LET'S YOU AND ME LEAN UP THIS
OLD BROKENDOWN PLAYHOUSE.
THANKS, ANYWAY,
IT'LLTAKE A LOT MORE THAN TWO
DREAMERS TO SAVE THIS PLACE.
ARE WE READY?
ARE YOU READY UP THERE?
YES, READY.
(cheering)
IT IS MY EXTREME PLEASURE TO
CHRISTEN THIS ROCKET --
THE CELESTEVILLE EXPRESS.
(all gasping)
BAD YEAR.
UH-OH, LOOK OUT!
MY TUSKS, THIS IS HIGHLY
IRREGULAR.
TIMBER!
OH, MY GOSH!
CORNELIUS, ARE YOU OKAY?
CORNELIUS, ANSWER ME.
WHOSE IDEA WAS ALL THIS
ROCKET NONSENSE, ANYWAY?
OH, CORNELIUS, THANK GOODNESS
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
THERE, THERE, BABAR,
JUST A LITTLE SPILL IS ALL.
QUITE EXHILARATING, ACTUALLY,
AND IT FINALLY KNOCKED SOME
SENSE INTO THIS OLD HEAD
OF MINE.
I WAS FOOLISH TO GET CAUGHT UP
IN THIS MOON RACE BUSINESS.
I GUESS IT WAS A PRETTY
SILLY IDEA.
ABSOLUTELY.
CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE US,
BABAR?
SURE.
BELIEVE ME, I KNOW WHAT IT'S
LIKE TO GET CAUGHT UP IN
A DREAM.
YOU'LL DO ALMOST ANYTHING TO
MAKE IT COME TRUE.
SOME DREAMS JUST DON'T,
THAT'S ALL.
AND SOME DO.
(hammering)
(adult Babar)
AND, SO, THE PLAYHOUSE WAS
SAVED, AND I HAVE ALL OF
CELESTEVILLE TO THANK FOR IT.
HM, YOUR MOON LOOKS LOVELY
TONIGHT, MY DEAR.
OH, IT'S THE BEST PRESEN
YOU'VE EVER GIVEN ME.
BUT I THINK I'D LIKE TO HAVE
IT REHUNG.
OVER THERE.
ANYTHING YOU SAY, MY DEAR.
(chuckling)
WOW, THAT WAS A GREA
STORY, POPPA.
FATHER, FATHER, DO YOU THINK
I COULD BECOME AN ACTRESS HERE
SOME DAY?
I DON'T SEE WHY NOT, FLORA.
(giggling)
THE PLAYHOUSE IS WHAT DREAMS
ARE ALL ABOUT.
