Arabela (1979) s01e13 Episode Script

ARABELA Rumburak turns the king, Mr Vigo and Mrs Majerova into stone and carries helpless Arabela off to his castle.
There, to his discontent, the princess is reunited with Peter.
To be rid of his rival once and for all, Rumburak plans to promptly execute Peter.
Thanks to the intervention of the dove, which turns out to be Arabela's mother, Peter is saved by the mighty Fantomas, the ruler of the land of grown-ups' tales.
Arabela, Peter, the queen, and the kids leave the dark castle, where happily married Ms Mullerova stays behind to rule over her new home.
Arabela is unaware that danger is once more at hand, since Rumburak managed to slip away.
Episode 13 What started with a bell, with a bell must end - A real hell.
- The citizens salute you, Mom.
Quiet! They do obey.
It's not so easy where I'm from.
And now fix what you messed up.
Now, my friends, you can talk, sing and even dance.
Long live the queen! Long live the queen! - Our Peter is terrific, isn't he? - Come quick.
Your Highness, we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
- It was awful, my gears hurt.
- I believe you.
Your Highness, and I always had air escaping from my tires.
Well, it's all in the past now.
Right, Tom Thumb? The water sprite is back, too.
Well, what would I be doing there, if here everything's in order.
Sometimes we'll come visit you with Honzik and Marjenka.
- They're better than in the cinema.
- See? And they were an endangered species.
Xenia thought they were antiquated.
There are no more wolves or bears where I'm from.
And our last wolf, the talking one, was shot by some Mr Majer.
- That's his father.
- But the queen already found a replacement.
I'll be! That replacement's been waiting half an hour.
You want to take a look? - Let's go.
- Ok.
Come in.
- What big ears you have, Grandma! - The better to hear you with, my dear.
- What big eyes you have! - To better to see To better to see To better to see Not again! He does it all the time.
Yesterday his jaws locked up while he was swallowing Grandma.
The better to see you with.
Look, it's not long now! - There you are! - The queen's been looking for you.
Quick.
- Just when it got interesting.
- Come on.
- Look, he's eating her! - Bye, Little Red Riding Hood! - Hello.
- Hello.
- You're always late! - But, Peter They wanted to take a look around the magic kingdom.
They're kids, after all.
- Have you ever seen real dwarves? - They are this tall.
We've seen all 7 of them.
- I don't see why we are in such a rush? - Your parents are worried.
Kiril Gather around.
Hold each other close.
Did you hear? we're to hold each other close.
Thank you.
- See you soon.
- Bye.
Mom! Marjenka! My baby! Honzik, Peter and pretty Arabela? That's my mother.
And this is Marjenka's mother.
I'm honored.
- Hermanova.
- I am honored, Mrs Hermanova.
Good bye.
You probably want to go home but there's no one there.
Here are the keys.
But where's everyone? Finally, I would like speak about Alexander Pimper's greatest work.
This is a sculpture group called "A man wetting his finger, and his friends".
A work of genius, in which Pimper's realism entails such detail as a worn-out sleeve or a torn button.
Such detail, my friends, has no equal in the history of art.
- That's nonsense! - Shhhh.
We're in a gallery.
- Karel, tell them these are no statues.
- No.
Get him out of here.
Where are you going? Don't run.
- Excuse me Dad? - Peter! - Dad! - Mom, this is Mr Majer.
- And Mr Gros from the TV.
- My pleasure.
To conclude, what else can we add? That these statues are the culmination of Pimper's work because they seem so alive.
- Dad.
- What happened to him? - Your Highness, this coffee is cold.
- Karel! Please, go back to your place.
You're ruining my whole conception.
- Karel! - Verushka! I'm fine, stop looking at me like this.
- But, Karel - Just a moment.
Arabela I can see.
I can see again! Man, you almost ruined my eyes.
I'm afraid we might have also ruined something, Your Highness.
If these ruins are gone before the year's up, I'll give you a solid bonus.
What are these tourists doing here? Arabela, the ring.
- What's going on? - Father would like to fix something.
Well, I waved my finger and the factory was gone.
You haven't changed a bit.
Oh my! What do you say to that? - That you owe us a solid bonus.
I still can't believe that you'll be Mrs Majerova tomorrow.
Me, neither.
It's a miracle.
And people don't believe in miracles.
But miracles do happen.
Back home, they happen every day.
And in people's world only when one turns his life into a fairy tale.
And I see that's possible.
And how can one turn his life into a fairy tale? By falling in love.
I think I know you.
Aren't you Mr Rumburak? - It is, as you can see.
- How could you leave me like this? Look.
How did Arabela manage to go back? - And where's your mantle? - The mantle If you help me just once more I will - I know that! - I give you my word.
Your word Someone out there? No one.
Damned ravens.
Always staring at me.
Watch out what you're saying, Honzik.
If this were a fairy tale they might be wizards or something - Honza, lets go.
- Marjenlka's waiting for me.
Go and don't be late, the wedding is at 10.
30.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Something smells good.
- I'm as hungry as a wolf.
- Don't even remind me about the wolf.
You mean Rumburak Don't worry, he won't escape punishment.
Never mind that he's far.
I hope you're right, Your Highness.
So you claim that the Little Red Riding Hood really exists? Exists.
And she has freckles! Right? Frec-kles.
Incredible! And what about the ginger bread house? - We almost lost our lives there.
- There're also creatures no one has ever heard of.
For example Blekota, Pekota, Mekota Write this down.
Pekota and Mekota Mekota is a goat? Mekota is a servant.
And Pekota can take his head off.
Yes, I've seen that on TV.
That might be a trick.
Do you have any photos to prove it? It's very important.
- No.
- We'll take a camera next time.
- What next time? - But we - We're going there for holidays.
- We're invited.
He's the princess' brother-in-law.
- What? A princess' brother-in-law? - Well yes, my brother's getting married today.
This suits you best.
Hopefully Fantomas comes on time.
How much longer? Dad, can Xenia come to the wedding? She's still my sister.
- Well, ok.
- Thank you.
Arabela invited you to the wedding.
Thank her.
Are you really going to marry this pauper? I would love to be in his shoes.
At least I wouldn't have to deal with you.
If you don't stop arguing, you're going back into my pocket.
Let's go.
Aside! - What a sister I have, right? - I got to know her a bit already.
I haven't shown you yet You like it? Of course! This is the most wonderful ring I've ever had.
Come on, we'll be late.
Everyone is here already.
Don't forget the rings.
Karel, here in the second one.
- Aren't you coming? - And who will prepare the wedding lunch? Mr Vigo, the ring is in the room upstairs.
- Move, dear.
- Excuse me? Bad-mannered nobleman! Dirty peasant! Well, let's go cook.
They are already here.
Would the best man step over to the table? - This one's mine.
- Hello.
And yours? - Wait a bit longer.
He promised to come.
- It's high time.
Fantomas may be waiting in the lobby.
Excuse me.
Excuse me Can you tell me, Majer, where have you been all this time? In the land of fairy tales, professor.
- On vacation? - Internship, I'd say.
Fairy tales are fantasy, but without them technology is nothing.
- Listen - Excuse me.
I think Peter wanted to say this: We have to use the fairy tales to inspire technology, And technology – to turn the world around us into a fairy tale.
Thank you.
I see that we're friends for good.
We have to start.
If the other best man isn't here yet Peter, he's not here.
So, what would like to do? Postpone the wedding? No need, I'm here! - Hello, Mr Fantomas.
- Hi.
- You came at the last moment, Fantomas.
- As I always do, princess.
Why work so hard? I'll go get the ring.
You won't get French pastry with a trick.
You have to do it manually.
I'm still going to get the ring.
Ok, but first bring me some pickles from the cellar.
Ok.
There it is! You have to act, there's still time to stop the wedding.
- But how? - How, how What do you think about this? A sheep and a clock.
Miss Arabela Hyacinthova, do you take Peter Majer to be your lawfully wedded husband? - What does this mean? - Arabela This is utterly irregular! Peter Check upstairs, I think I heard a window break.
What?! - May I? - What are you - I'm sure it's a great wedding.
- Let's get the mantle and go.
Should be there.
Now I'll turn you into rats for good.
Wouldn't it be better to turn them into something more practical? - Something more practical? - Well, yes.
Under these circumstances the marriage is void.
- Why? - Be reasonable: sheep and clocks can't get married.
Even if they love each other? It's the civil law That's not a citizen, it's a clock.
And on top of that it's late.
Dear, Peter is late.
This doesn't matter now.
It just won't work.
I'm sorry.
Stop, clerk! Pronounce their marriage legal! My shoes Yes, as you say.
Attention, they're coming.
As steady as a clock, Peter always wore a collar, But now that he's in wedlock, He is wearing a yoke! - What's that? - A joke? That's Majer for you.
Always some eccentricity.
Will you help us? That's my son, and this–my daughter-in-law.
I hope you don't escape Like the last time.
No, I'm starting to get used to it.
Careful.
Peter, why don't you help a bit.
Come on, Arabela.
Why didn't we take the ring? Hurry up, my child.
- Here you go.
- What do you have against weddings? - It's such a great party.
- You're a dangerous person, Hermanova.
Now that you're yourselves again, allow me and Mrs Hermanova give you your wedding gifts.
Something practical.
Thank you.
You made us really happy.
Right, my wife? Very happy.
Right, my husband? I think it's got its own mind.
No matter, I'm an engineer.
Since we are started with presents, we have something for you as well.
It started with a bell, may it end with a bell.
- Thank you.
- If you ever need anything, just ring.
Our new assistant will apear and grant your every wish.
And now I'd like to invite everyone to the dining-room for a festive toast.
I've always wanted to have a bell like that.
If there's a problem, something's broken, the fridge or the boiler this way, please you ring the bell, and it's fixed.
Not you, Payda.
Go.
- Payda! Come home.
- Where's he? Let's go, there're cream rolls for dessert.
Be good to her, Peter.
And during holidays come visit with the kids.
- With pleasure.
We'll come.
- You heard that? - Mr king - Better call me uncle.
Uncle, can we bring the other boys and girls for holidays? - What other boys and girls? - Our whole class.
- With the teacher.
- How many altogether? Around 30.
I'll take care of them.
I swear, I'm an honest nobleman.
Mr Vigo, let's go.
Bye, kids.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I'm ready, Your Highness.
- You've got the ring? - Of course.
- Bye.
Xenia - Bye, have a nice trip.
- I would love to fly away with them.
- Me too.
Every once in a while I'll send you some of my old clothes.
Good luck.
Come on, Xenia, no dawdling.
Quick.
Take some sweets for the road.
So what do you say about this, as a psychiatrist? What? Well, not long ago I would've sent you all to the sanatorium, but now I see that life is a a marvelous and an unexplainable thing.
And that's what's beautiful about it.
beautiful Stars seem to twinkle only for us.
- Doesn't the broken window bother you? - Broken things bring hapiness.
- Tomorrow we'll just ring the bell - You want to ring it for every little thing? Little troubles are still troubles.
And we shouldn't have any.
We'll live like in a fairy tale.
- What is that? - Come quick to the bathroom! Now! - What's up? - Hurry! Bring me the bell in the bathroom.
It's not there.
- What have you done? - I wanted to throw away the broken boiler, then ring the bell and get a new one.
Damn it, stop looking at me, go get the bell.
I can't find it.
Then stop the water and help me out.
It can't have just disappeared.
It was just sitting on the table.
It seems to me that fairy tales are over.
- Which way? - Let's leave it there.
Ok.
Help me a bit.
Let's put it here, watch your hands.
- We've finally got rid of it.
- Come sit next to me.
Don't sit there for a long time.
You'll get a cold.
It's damp.
Don't worry.
Honzik, to bed.
But what are you laughing at? There won't be any hot water in the morning.
What's so funny? I laugh because I'm happy.
We became regular people.
Without magic.
- Is this a reason to be happy? - Sure.
Since I was little they kept telling me that work and troubles are for others.
I was so envious of those "others".
And now finally I can live normally.
- And you are totally content with it? - Yes, because I'll live with you.
And I – with you.
You see? Can you think of a better fairy tale? Translation fron Bulgarian : MANASYt Proofread: aileverte
