Moomin (1990) s01e11 Episode Script

The Wings

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.
Snork Flies Through the Skies
Floren is running in haste.
This is our first time seeing
Floren running this hard.
Oh!
Something serious must have happened.
Moomin!
Moominpappa! Please help!
Alright. Calm down and
tell us what's wrong.
I told you. My brother says he's
going to jump from a cliff.
Snork will jump?
From a cliff?
I couldn't stop him.
Please! Please stop him, Moomin!
What did you want my help for, Floren?
Please stop my brother from
jumping down the west cliff.
Why would Snork do such a thing?
He says it's a test flight.
A test flight?
So, Floren
Does this mean that Snork has
finally finished his airship?
Not at all! It's far from complete!
Though -
he seems to have completed
the blueprints
Oh, that's quite the news.
I didn't notice before, -
but it seems he also
made a model of the -
wings he's going to
use on the ship.
They were such small,
unreliable wings, though!
And he says he's going to wear
them and jump from the cliff
I see.
Well, I believe Snork is trying
to find out whether those -
wings are strong enough to
lift a ship up in the air.
Pappa, you'll stop him, won't you?
What should we do, Pappa?
Snork is doing his test flight
at the west cliff, isn't he?
Yes. We should hurry,
he could jump anytime.
Alright, let's go.
If it really looks too dangerous,
then we'll stop him, Floren.
Thank you, Pappa!
Looks good.
Here we go!
Brother!
Brother, please wait.
Snork, don't move!
Why did you bring them here?
It's because you were going
to do such a reckless thing!
But I'm relieved. You're not
jumping anymore, are you?
Who said I wasn't?
Brother!
I also think it's dangerous, Snork.
That's not true.
I'm certain that these wings
will allow me to fly safely.
Aren't they rather small?
They're big enough to lift me.
I've calculated so.
We saw you earlier.
You ran all the way here and went
to a sudden halt, didn't you?
Oh, that. I was determining the correct
running distance I should take.
Brother, stop this. If you
jump from here, you'll die!
It's alright.
I'm sure this will work.
You seem to be very confident.
Of course. I've already finished
the plans for my airship, after all.
I understand, but couldn't you do
your test flight somewhere lower?
That way you won't get
injured even if you fall.
I have. I've already jumped from
our second floor countless times.
This will work.
Have you seen him jump?
I haven't. Not once.
Of course you haven't.
You can be a nag, so I made sure
you were away when I tried.
What exactly do you mean
by that, dear brother?
Do I have to spell it out?
I'm saying I don't want you nagging
me about my research all the time.
Have you no faith in your
own brother's talent?
I just don't want you to die!
Stop saying I'll die!
But you will!
Calm down, you two.
Ah, I'm falling!
Floren, I don't think
we'll be able to stop -
your brother from doing
his test flight.
But, Pappa
You sure have guts, Snork.
Alright! Let's do this.
I'm going to jump this time.
Oh? Isn't that Snufkin over there?
Where? Where is he?
You won't see him from there.
You need to come here.
Is it really Snufkin?
I'm certain.
Snufkin!!!
Hey!!
Did he hear you?
I don't think so
Alright, here I come!
Good luck, Snork!
He did it!
Oh!
It's Snork.
He did it! He really did!
It's alright, Floren.
It seems Snork is riding
the air currents well.
He succeeded.
My brother succeeded!
I believed he would, from the start.
The truth is I did too!
Huh?
Brother!
Hellooo!
Yes! Hurrah! Snork!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
This feels great!
This test flight is a huge success!
Golly, he was about to fall earlier.
Such a shame he didn't!
Don't say such things!
I wonder if he'll fall
if he shakes his arms.
Stinky.
Excuse me, but I find it unpleasant
talking to you. Go somewhere else.
I wonder how he's going
to go back down
I shall go somewhere else, then.
Oh?
He's headed towards the ocean!
It'd be a fun sight
if he falls right in!
He's being carried towards the sea.
He should just go back down now.
We didn't ask him about
landing, did we?
Then, does that mean he can't?
I don't think that's likely, but
What's wrong?
Darn it! This wind!
He flew into a tree!
Quickly! Let's go down!
Is he dead?
He's just unconscious.
What a lucky chap.
Anyhow, did you see
where those wings went?
No idea.
Oh?
They're still stuck up there.
I wonder if he'll let me have them.
I heard your test flight
showed very promising results.
Yes. I encountered a little
problem towards the end though.
My heart nearly stopped when I saw
your limp body being carried here.
I'm very sorry about that.
I would also like to express my
gratitude to everyone once again.
Uhm, Snork
Yes?
Would you still be needing those wings?
And what if I say I won't anymore?
Then in that case!
Will you let me have them?
I want to fly in the skies too!
If I can move the wings properly, I
can go anywhere with those, right?
Well, yes
Adjustments for controlling
them would have to be made.
It'll be hard to fly
around freely otherwise.
I'll work on it!
Then I shall freely fly the skies!
That's exactly my dream, Moomin.
I'll definitely finish my airship.
So, will you let me have them?
Will you?
I will, but on one condition.
Condition?
Yes.
I've already completed the
blueprints for my airship.
I've also decided to use
that shape for the wings.
So what I need now would be a workshop
where I can construct the airship.
Yes. Indeed, a workshop
would be necessary.
It wouldn't have to be a very
complicated structure though.
At worst, a place with a
roof would be enough.
I'm planning to
construct this workshop -
myself, and I would like
your help with this.
If you agree, then I shall give
you those wings. So, do you?
Of course I'll help!
Even without those wings,
I would've still been glad to help!
And knowing that you're
giving them to me -
just makes me want to
help you even more!
That's good to hear.
Thank you, Moomin.
Why don't we get everyone
else to help too?
That's fine, right, Snufkin?
Of course.
You'll help too, won't you, Sniff?
I'd want something in return too.
I'll lend you those wings!
Well, I
I'm not really interested in flying
Alright, Sniff. I'll think
of something to give you.
Great! In that case,
I'll gladly help out!
That's not really what "gladly
helping" means, is it?
So
Where do you plan to construct
this workshop of yours?
Isn't this deep enough, Pappa?
Hmm.
No, you'll have to dig a little deeper.
It'd be a big problem if
the columns were shaky.
Alright.
I've been thinking.
Hm?
I could give you that book about
machines which I really love.
Oh.
Don't you want it?
Well, there're probably other
things I'd like more
Well, then How about the
fountain pen I really love?
Is there anything else?
Well, I really love this
You really love a lot
of things, don't you?
Well, yes, I do.
How about a gold coin?
Oh, I'd love a gold coin!
That's decided, then!
Alright, let's do this!
Everyone! Would you like
to rest for a while?
I have here sandwiches Mamma prepared.
Oh? It's already noon?
Yes.
Well, then. Why don't
we take a short break?
Snork and Sniff are in the forest.
Alright, I'll go there in a bit.
Hello there, Floren!
I have a question for you.
What?
Is it true that your brother is
planning to give Moomin those wings?
That's true. As soon
as the workshop is -
finished, those wings
would be Moomin's.
But those wings are
broken, aren't they?
He hit them on that tree.
My brother's currently fixing them.
Can you please get out of my way now?
I'm on my way to bring
my brother lunch.
Where is he fixing them?
In our house, where else?
You're using quite a lot of wood.
We'll need a building that can fit
the airship I'm building, after all.
Moomin and Pappa dug rather deep holes.
I'm really ashamed to have
even Moominpappa helping out.
Snufkin said he'll go
to the sawmill for you.
That would be great.
I'll write down how
many planks I'll be -
needing, so please hand
it to Snufkin for me.
Alright.
It'd be great if you can
finish your workshop soon.
I will.
Everyone's working very hard at
helping me build it, after all.
It was just as Snork said.
The residents of Moominvalley
took turns in helping out.
With that, Snork's small workshop
was completed in no time.
Yes?
Moomin's here.
Come in, Moomin.
Really, thank you, Moomin.
I don't think these
wings would be enough -
to repay you for the
help you've given me.
I had a lot of fun
building that workshop.
Still, thank you.
I've made adjustments
to it for better -
altitude control than
when I flew it before.
So this time, I believe you can
fly it just the way you want to.
Thank you!!
I'm so happy, I feel like I
won't be able to sleep tonight!
I take it you're going to fly tomorrow?
I certainly will!
Be careful.
Listen. Practice flying from
lower places first, alright?
I'd feel responsible if you were to
get hurt from the wings I gave you.
Understood! I shall do just that!
Where will you be practicing tomorrow?
I haven't decided yet!
Oh, do you remember that hill we
passed on our way to the west cliff?
What about that?
That seems like a good place.
I'll come watch you.
Huh? Was it really there?
So you didn't notice it despite
coming in through the front porch.
You really are quite the
oblivious one, Sniff.
Well, no
It really wasn't there.
It really isn't!
My wings are gone!
I told you, didn't I?
What could've happened to it?
Where'd it go?
It must've been stolen.
What's the matter?
What are you two fussing about?
Moomin's wings were stolen!
We're not yet sure that they were!
Then this is no time to be standing
idly about! We need to search for them!
Even if you say that
Where are we supposed to search?
Over there!
Oopsy, it seems you found
me earlier than I expected.
Hold it right there!
Those are my wings!
So it really was your doing, Stinky!
I said stop!
Stop me if you can!
Wait! Stinky!
I'll let you borrow them later,
so just don't fly them now!
Here comes Stinky, master
of the skies, taking off!
Watch out! Moomin!
These are now mine!
And I'm not lending them to you!
Oh, curse that Stinky.
You need to be more cautious, Moomin.
Cautious?
I didn't think there would
be anyone in Moominvalley -
who would even dream of
stealing those wings!
Naive. Too naive.
Don't feel too bad, Moomin.
I'm sure Stinky will return your wings.
I wonder about that.
Ah! He's getting blown towards the sea!
Darn it! What's wrong with this?!
Go back! Go back! I said go back!
Because of the wind flow, -
Stinky was steadily getting
blown towards the sea.
And then
He fell into the sea.
I guess those wings are useless now.
Let's ask my brother
to make you new ones.
Stinky, that git.
A long time ago, -
there were once pirates who sailed
around as if they owned the seas.
They now exist only in picture books, -
but I couldn't believe it.
I'm sure there are still
pirates somewhere out there!
Next time on Fun Family Moomin, -
Episode 12: Moomin Fights a Pirate
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
