Moomin (1990) s01e08 Episode Script

The Hobgoblin's Magic

Moomin
Even you, who always
tries to keep strong, -
will have moments when
you need to shed tears.
In those moments, just
cry your heart out, -
and then you will find that the
sadness quickly disappears.
Come, come here to where I am.
Come and hold out your
little hand to me.
I shall take you to
the world of dreams.
As long as you have an
honest heart, all is well.
The Hobgoblin's Magic
Here.
We're so sorry, Mamma.
We were careless.
My apologies as well.
Your handbag.
Thank you.
Where are you two headed?
We're going for a walk.
I see. Take care.
Tofslan and Vifslan settled
right into the Moominhouse.
Morran, who had been chasing
them, never showed up again.
With that, the two of them are
now living their lives in peace.
Let's make this our
secret hiding place.
This looks like a place
that's hard to find.
Let's move that suitcase here first.
Isn't it alright to just
leave that in our room?
But someone might go in
and try to see what's -
inside that suitcase when
we're not in our room.
I strongly believe the Moomins
won't do anything of that sort.
There are various other people coming
in and out of that house, though.
There may be untrustworthy
ones among them.
Floren.
You lied to me, didn't you?
I did?
Moomin had the heart-shaped shell
I gave him perfectly safe.
That's impossible! He gave
that shell to Morran.
I saw it with my own two eyes.
But it really was with Moomin.
Really? Was it really the same shell?
Yes! A beautiful heart-shaped
shell, as it was.
That's weird
I'm certain he gave it to Morran
I'm on my way to Moomin's
place, by the way.
Coming?
Oh, I just remembered! I suppose
I should tell you about this.
About what?
Yesterday, I went to the
beach with my sister.
We went near the cave area.
To go swimming?
Yes, and guess what we found there!
What?
Do you remember that time we went to
Hattifattener Island with the Moomins?
Of course I remember.
It hasn't been very long
since then, after all.
Remember that ship figurehead we
found on that island's shore?
Yes.
Moomin was really smitten
with that decor, wasn't he?
Well, yes, he was
That's what we found yesterday.
Are you serious?
I am.
She was lying on the shore.
And she looked just
as she did last time.
Still as incredibly beautiful.
Is it really the same figurehead?
No doubt about it.
A beautiful lady with perfect eyes.
She's nothing but a
wood carving though.
And only half a body, at that.
That's right.
But, to tell you the
truth, I thought she -
might've fallen for
Moomin as well, -
and then followed him all the way here.
Oh, hush, My!
No need to worry!
She's nothing but a
wood carving, remember?
Do you think that wood carving
is still on the shore now?
I think it should be.
If you want to take a look,
now's the perfect time.
Don't you think it might've
drifted back into the sea by now?
Who knows?
If Moomin finds out she's there, he'll
probably take her home with him.
What's wrong with that?
Then he'll end up gazing dreamily
at her face everyday, all day long.
Just let him gaze then.
He'll get tired of her one day.
No, it'll be bad if I let him!
His thoughts will turn funny and
then he'll completely forget me!
Floren! Weren't you headed
for Moomin's house?
I forgot I had something to do!
Goodbye!
Alright. Let's go.
Tofslan, are you moving away?
No. We're just going out.
But You're bringing your suitcase.
Moomin, can you do us a favor?
What is it?
Thanks a lot, Moomin.
Don't mention it.
This is very light for me.
Oh, we'll take it from here.
It's alright. I can carry this all
the way to your secret hiding place.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I suppose it's a secret
hiding place for a reason.
Well then, I'll be heading home now.
Don't tell anyone about this, alright?
Of course.
Hey, My!
What are you doing up there?
I just wanted to try
going down this way.
You must be frozen in fear.
I'll go up there and help you.
I'm perfectly fine.
Moomin.
I want to ask you something.
What is it?
That heart-shaped
shell you got from -
Floren You gave it
to Morran, didn't you?
What about it?
You gave it to Morran, so there's no
way you have it with you, am I right?
Oh, but I do have it with me.
Really? How?
How is that possible?
I gave Morran a different shell.
You're lying!
I suppose I am.
But I'm going to go
through with this lie.
I wouldn't want to hurt
Floren's feelings.
But how is it that you
still have that shell?
Well, that part's a secret.
But I really want to know!
Oh, Moomin.
You know, I also have
a lovely secret, but -
I'll only tell you mine
if you tell me yours.
A secret?
Yes. A secret.
What kind of secret?
You go first.
No, you tell me first.
I guess we'll have to
go simultaneously.
Alright, together then.
One, two, three.
Yesterday, my sister and I
went to the beach to swim.
The truth is I felt very upset after
giving that shell away to Morran.
And there we found that
beautiful lady figurehead -
we saw on the Hattifatteners'
island before.
So then, I thought, "What should I do?"
You mean that lady?!
Yes. She was on the shore.
Ah! Moomin, you cheat!
You haven't told me everything!
I'll tell you later!
But I want to know now!
Moomin, you stink!
What is Moomin doing?
I wonder if he's searching
for a shell again.
He's not. But it does look as
if he's looking for something.
It seems to me as if he lost
something very important.
How far do I have to row out, Floren?
As far as you can.
We're quite far into the
open sea now, you know.
I absolutely do not
want this figurehead -
finding its way back
onto our shores again.
But as long as there are waves,
she might get washed ashore again.
No! I'm not letting that happen!
Let's go even farther.
Farther. Farther!
He looks really sad, doesn't he?
I suppose we must try cheering him up.
How?
We'll just have to use that.
Right! Nothing better than
that for cheering up!
Oh, hello you two.
We saw you looking so down, so we
decided that we'll try to cheer you up.
Would that be a bother?
Not at all. But you don't
really have to cheer me up.
Well, then. Would you like to take a
look at what's inside our suitcase?
Don't you want to know what we're
carrying in that suitcase?
I want to know! Show me!
Shall I help you, Tofslan?
No, it's alright. Just a bit more.
Here.
Oh, thank you for that.
Alright. Prepare yourself.
Here we go.
One, two, three!
This is awesome.
Do you like it?
Yes, I like it very much!
Then you feel better now?
Yes.
That's just wonderful, right, dear?
Yes, it is.
The ruby was constantly
changing in color.
Slowly it transforms from red
into a bluish white hue.
Then it abruptly turns pink, -
and just when you think
a deep red flame -
is about to burst
from within it, -
it suddenly darkens,
resembling a black tulip.
Hm. I think that's probably
the King of Rubies.
Yes. That probably was.
Remember? The Hobgoblin
was searching for it.
Oh, right!
The Hobgoblin is probably in
a faraway country right now, -
wandering in search of
the King of Rubies.
However, he'll eventually
find out about -
Tofslan and Vifslan's
possession.
So after Morran comes the Hobgoblin.
Those two sure have it tough.
One day, a week later, -
Moominmamma had a very
shocking experience.
It really isn't in the bedroom.
Well, that's strange.
Then you must've forgotten
it in the garden.
I have yet to go out
even once today though.
But still, just maybe.
Handbags don't have feet.
Yes.
She seems to have lost
her precious handbag.
What are you doing, Mamma?
I've lost my handbag.
Won't you all help me look for it?
If we find it, will we get a prize?
Yes. I shall throw a
big party for all of -
you, complete with cake
and tea, of course.
What's more, you'll be allowed not
to take a bath and to stay up late.
I'll find it!
I will be the one to find it!
Did you keep any valuables in it?
Not at all. I only kept
some emergency supplies.
There were dry socks,
sweets, thread, and -
prickly heat powder,
among other things.
Before long, the
entire village had -
participated in the
search for the handbag.
What could they be looking for?
They all seem to be looking very hard.
What is everyone looking for?
We're looking for my handbag.
You mean the one you
always carry around?
Yes, that's the one.
Thanks for asking.
Now, why don't you two dears
go and have fun outside?
Taking a nap inside that
handbag felt really relaxing.
But Mamma looked really sad just now.
I suppose we really must return it.
Oh! You found it.
Everyone! The bag's been found!
Tofslan and Vifslan found it!
Thank you.
I heard you found this for me.
It was beneath the thicket
of White Birch trees.
Sleeping within this handbag is very
Everyone! To celebrate
Mamma's reunion with -
her handbag, we shall
hold a party tonight!
Hurrah!
Tonight, we are able to
celebrate and hold this party
all thanks to both Tofslan
and Vifslan here.
In behalf of everyone
here, I would like to -
express my sincerest
gratitude to you both.
Ladies and Gentlemen. Let
us raise our glasses -
and offer a toast of
raspberry juice for them.
To Mamma's handbag and to
Tofslan and Vifslan
Cheers.
Cheers!
And now, let us have a
speech from Moomintroll.
A big congratulations to Mamma for
having found her precious handbag.
To Tofslan and Vifslan-we thank you.
As a highlight, they
shall be making this -
already wonderful night
even more wonderful.
They have decided to show all of us the
little treasure inside their suitcase.
They've shown it to me once before,
and it really is just wondrous!
Without further ado, I present
you Tofslan and Vifslan!
Prepare yourselves.
Here we go.
One, two, three!
Ohh! How beautiful!
Why in the world did Morran
give away this Ruby to them?
This must be the King of Rubies
It has to be.
I've found it!
At long last, I've found it!
It's the Hobgoblin!
This is the Ruby I've
been searching for.
Don't you dare touch it! This is ours!
We're not letting anyone
lay a hand on this!
Morran told me that I
can have this Ruby.
That's not right.
Morran let them have
this Ruby in exchange -
for my precious
heart-shaped shell.
Did you just say "heart-shaped shell"?
He did, I heard it.
A-at any rate, Morran definitely
gave this Ruby to them.
It's theirs now.
For three hundred long years, -
I've been wandering in
search of this Ruby.
Still, it isn't yours.
Let me make you an offer.
How would you like -
to trade that for two
of my diamond mines?
No!
Definitely a no!
I can't. I can't just
take your Ruby by force.
If I do that, I'll be
nothing but a thief.
How about a cup of raspberry juice?
Oh, don't mind if I do. I haven't
had raspberry juice in 85 years.
Ah. This is splendid.
I'm glad you liked it.
Would you like another cup?
No, that's enough for now.
Thank you very much.
Thinking about it, this isn't
my first time here, is it?
Looks like a wonderful
party you have here.
Alright. Let me offer
you all some presents.
Let's see Three people.
I shall grant a wish
each for three of you.
Go on. Make a wish.
Oh? Are you perhaps afraid?
You, sir, seem to be at an age
where fear hardly matters.
Yes. I'm not afraid, so let's see
Oh, I broke the shovel I
borrowed from Moominpappa, so -
I would be glad if you could
give me a replacement.
Mr. Hemulen, there's
really no need for that
I would like a new shovel.
Alright.
Here you are.
Oh, this is splendid. Thank you, Mr.
Hobgoblin.
Here you go, Pappa.
Who would like to make the next wish?
Excuse me.
Well, then. What would be
your wish, little lady?
This might be a bit difficult.
That's completely fine.
I see. Are you completely
sure about this?
Yes.
Alright, close your eyes then.
I've granted your wish, little lady.
Floren, you
Floren
I wanted to look like that
beautiful lady we saw before.
Moomin loved her very much, you see.
Floren, I think you've made a mistake.
A mistake?
Here, take a look at yourself, Floren.
Oh dear. This dreadful, just dreadful!
Mr. Hobgoblin, please turn
my eyes back to normal.
I can only grant each person
one wish, little lady.
Oh dear, no!
Whatever shall I do?
Mr. Hobgoblin.
Please grant my wish.
It would be my pleasure. I
shall grant you any wish.
I can give you an airship,
a train, or even a ship.
Oh! I would love to have
lots of golden coins,
enough to fill up this
entire Moominvalley!
Moomin gets the third
and last wish, though.
Moomin! Ask for golden coins!
Then let's split them
between the two of us!
Since it was my idea and all.
I've already decided on my wish.
What is it?
Mr. Hobgoblin. Please
return Floren's -
eyes into the lovely
ones she had before.
Floren's eyes are lovely just as they
are now. Ask for golden coins instead!
I see. You have a kind heart.
Here you are.
Take a look, Floren.
You are loveliest just as yourself.
Moomin!
Mr. Hobgoblin.
What is it?
If you possess such magic, why can
you not fulfill your own wish?
That's the limit of my magic. I
am unable to grant my own wish.
In that case, please
grant my wish instead.
Would you do that?
Your wish?
And also yours.
Well, then. I shall do my utmost
to grant this wish of yours.
Please create another
Ruby just like this one.
I see.
This one shall be yours then.
Thank you. Thank you!
And thus, the Hobgoblin's
300-year dream was fulfilled, -
and Floren discovered the
kindness in Moomin's heart.
That night's party was one
filled with merriment and fun.
One rainy day, a young
girl arrived at our home.
Her name was Ninny.
She was a very quiet, shy
girl, and she was invisible!
Next time on Fun Family
Moomin, Episode 9:
An Invisible Friend
Look forward to it!
My dream, my love,
when you're by my side
even the color of the wind changes
The water shines as it plays with light
Melt time into that sky
