Babar (1989) s01e13 Episode Script
The Phantom
HI, POPPA.
(♪♪♪)
UNCLE ARTHUR!
MOMMA, MOMMA.
(giggling)
(♪♪♪)
(♪♪♪)
(piano ♪♪)
I DON'T THINK THAT'S HOW
IT'S SUPPOSED TO SOUND,
ALEXANDER.
HERE, LET ME SHOW YOU.
NO, I DON'T NEED ANY HELP.
ALEXANDER, PLEASE!
NOT SO HARD.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD LET YOUR
SISTER HELP YOU, SON.
BUT I DON'T NEED ANY HELP.
I'M DOING JUST FINE ON MY OWN.
EVERYONE NEEDS A LITTLE HELP
NOW AND THEN.
I CERTAINLY DID TO LEARN THIS.
(piano ♪♪)
THAT'S NICE, FATHER.
NOW THAT'S PIANO PLAYING.
I KNOW, FLORA.
THIS TUNE WAS TAUGHT TO ME
BY SOMEONE VERY SPECIAL.
WHO WAS THAT, FATHER?
A GREAT PIANIST, I'LL BET.
HE CERTAINLY WAS.
HE WAS THE PHANTOM OF THE
MUSIC HALL.
THE PHANTOM?
WHAT'S A PHANTOM?
A GHOST, ALEXANDER.
ONE THAT I ENCOUNTERED
DURING MY DAYS IN THE CITY.
I WAS JUST A BOY THEN AND VERY
MUCH INVOLVED IN AFTER SCHOOL
ACTIVITIES.
ALL RIGHT!
WAY TO GO, BABAR!
(whistle blast)
IT WAS FOLLOWING ONE OF OUR
SOCCER VICTORIES THAT MY YOUNG
FRIENDS AND I FOUND OURSELVES
CELEBRATING WELL PAST SUNDOWN.
HOORAY!
BABAR'S THE BEST!
IS IT REALLY CUSTOMARY TO
CARRY ME ALL THE WAY HOME?
PHEW!
NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT
ELEPHANTS SURE ARE HEAVY.
THAT'S A LOAD OFF.
BESIDES, YOU WERE GOING
THE LONG WAY.
THAT WAY'S A LOT SHORTER.
BABAR, IF WE GO THAT WAY,
WE'LL HAVE TO GO BY
THE OLD MUSIC HALL.
SO?
SO?
IT'S HAUNTED, THAT'S SO.
BY A PHANTOM.
COME ON.
A PHANTOM?
IT'S TRUE.
WE'VE SEEN HIM.
YEAH.
AND HE HATES EVERYONE.
OH YEAH, SURE.
WELL, PHANTOM OR NO PHANTOM,
I'M GOING THIS WAY.
WHO'S COMING WITH ME?
NOBODY?
HMM.
LOOKS LIKE IT'S JUST ME AND
MY SHADOW.
HUH?
(Babar whistling)
THE OLD MUSIC HALL.
(loud noise)
AHH!
WHEW!
JUST A CAT.
PROBABLY THE PHANTOM'S.
WOOO!
(organ ♪♪)
AHH!
MUSIC?
MUSIC FROM INSIDE AN EMPTY
MUSIC HALL?
ANYBODY HOME?
HELLO?
(music stops)
UH-OH!
AHHH!
BABAR.
BABAR?
I SAW HIM.
IT WAS AWFUL.
SAW WHO?
THE HORRIBLE BLOODTHIRSTY
PHANTOM OF THE MUSIC HALL.
OH, BABAR.
THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS.
TELL HIM THAT.
YOUR EYES MUST HAVE BEEN
PLAYING TRICKS ON YOU.
BUT SO WERE MY EARS.
I HEARD HIM, HE WAS PLAYING
MUSIC.
NOW, NOW.
NO ONE HAS PLAYED MUSIC IN THA
OLD HALL FOR YEARS.
PERHAPS YOUR IMAGINATION'S
GOTTEN THE BETTER OF YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A GOOD
NIGHT'S SLEEP AND WE'LL TALK
ABOUT IT IN THE MORNING.
I'LL LEAVE THE LIGHT ON IF
YOU LIKE.
YES, PLEASE.
ALL RIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, MY DEAR.
(church bells ring)
YOU'RE RIGHT, MADAM.
MAYBE I DID JUST IMAGINE IT.
(King Babar) IT WAS SILLY
TO BELIEVE IN PHANTOMS.
AND AT THE TIME I DECIDED TO
FORGET THE WHOLE THING.
BUT THERE WAS ONE THING I
COULD NOT FORGET.
THE MUSIC I THOUGHT I HAD
IMAGINED KEPT RUNNING THROUGH
MY HEAD AS CLEAR AND AS
HAUNTING AS THE FIRST TIME
I HEARD IT.
BUT HOW COULD I RECALL IN SUCH
DETAIL A TUNE THAT WASN'
SUPPOSED TO EXIST?
TRY AS I MAY, I JUST COULD NO
DENY IT ANY LONGER.
SOMEONE OR SOMETHING WAS
PLAYING THAT MUSIC.
I JUST HAD TO FIND OUT WHO
IT WAS.
AHH!
PLEASED TO MEET YOU.
WOW!
AHH!
AHH!
WHOA.
TAKE IT EASY.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS
A PHANTOM.
AHH!
THERE IS NO PHANTOM.
THERE IS NO PHANTOM.
THERE IS NO PHANTOM.
THERE IS NO PHANTOM.
(gasp)
(organ ♪♪)
THERE IS A PHANTOM.
SO!
YOU'VE RETURNED!
YOU ARE EITHER VERY BRAVE
OR VERY FOOLISH!
I JUST WANT TO FIND OUT IF
YOU ARE REALLY REAL.
I'LL SHOW YOU!
I AM VERY REAL!
AND VERY OPPOSED TO INTRUDERS!
HEY!
WAIT A MINUTE!
IF YOU'RE GOING TO SCARE ME TO
DEATH, AT LEAST DO IT SO I CAN
SEE YOU.
WHY, YOU'RE AN ORDINARY MAN.
DISAPPOINTED?
NO.
EVERYONE THINKS YOU'RE SOME
KIND OF MONSTER.
EXACTLY WHAT I WANT THEM TO
THINK.
ONLY THEN WILL I BE LEFT ALONE.
BUT WHY?
YOUR MUSIC IS SO BEAUTIFUL,
PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IT.
MY MUSIC IS NOT FOR THEIR
EARS!
NOW GO!
OKAY, I'M GOING.
I'D JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHY
YOU'RE HIDING DOWN HERE.
YOU ARE A PERSISTENT LITTLE
FELLOW.
NO ONE HAS EVER COME BACK TO
FACE THE PHANTOM, EXCEPT YOU.
IT WAS THE MUSIC.
I HAD TO FIND OUT WHO WAS
PLAYING IT.
IF I TELL YOU WHY I STAY
DOWN HERE, THEN WILL YOU GO?
VERY WELL.
THE TUNE YOU SO APTLY
DESCRIBED WAS COMPOSED FOR
A VERY DEAR FRIEND.
SHE ALONE BELIEVED IN ME WHEN
OTHERS SAID I HAD NO TALENT.
THROUGH HER ENCOURAGEMENT,
I SET OUT TO VIENNA, WHERE MY
MUSIC WAS HIGHLY ACCLAIMED.
BUT THE FAME DIDN'T LAST AND
I BEGAN TO DOUBT MYSELF,
ULTIMATELY DOING THE ONE THING
SHE URGED ME NEVER TO DO.
I GAVE UP.
I RETURNED TO THE CITY WITH
NOTHING.
I COULDN'T FACE MY DEAR FRIEND,
AND THE MUSIC HALL HAD CLOSED
ITS DOORS.
I TOO CLOSED THE DOOR ON MY
PAST.
THE PHANTOM HAS ALLOWED ME TO
SHUT OUT THE WORLD.
I'M CONTENT HERE, WITH MY MUSIC
AND MY MEMORIES.
YOU MUST BE SO LONELY.
I'VE TOLD YOU WHAT YOU WANTED
TO HEAR, NOW DON'T TELL NO ONE
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PHANTOM.
NO ONE!
YES, I PROMISE.
YOUR SECRET IS SAFE WITH ME.
(King Babar) DURING THE
LONG WALK HOME, I RACKED MY
BRAIN, HOW COULD I HELP THE
OLD MAN?
HE LOOKED SO MISERABLE LIVING
IN THAT BROKEN DOWN MUSIC HALL.
THAT'S IT!
(King Babar) THERE WAS
NOTHING I COULD DO TO CHANGE
THE OLD MAN'S PAST, BUT THERE
WAS A WAY TO BRIGHTEN HIS
FUTURE.
THE MUSIC HALL WAS BADLY IN
NEED OF REPAIR, SO I STARTED
A PETITION TO HAVE IT RESTORED.
SOON, EVERYONE IN THE CITY WAS
IN FAVOUR OF RESTORING THE
MUSIC HALL.
AND WORD OF MY EFFORTS REACHED
THE MAYOR HIMSELF.
MY WORK HAD FINALLY PAID OFF.
"MAYOR TO SAVE MUSIC HALL."
WOW!
ISN'T THIS WONDERFUL!
THE MUSIC HALL WILL BE JUS
LIKE NEW AGAIN.
IT WILL BE JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU.
I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP,
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!
I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!
NOW, OTHERS MUST PAY FOR THIS
TREACHERY.
NO!
WAIT!
YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
OH, NO!
WHAT HAVE I DONE?
(King Babar) THE OLD MAN
WAS DETERMINED TO BE LEF
ALONE.
IF I DIDN'T STOP THE MUSIC HALL
RESTORATION, THE PHANTOM WOULD.
WELL, LET'S SEE HOW MUCH
WORK IT'S GOING TO BE TO FIX
THE OLD PLACE UP.
NO!
YOU CAN'T!
PARDON?
YOU CAN'T FIX UP THE MUSIC
HALL, MR. MAYOR.
NOT NOW.
WHY NOT?
YOUR MADAM SAID YOU WERE
DELIGHTED, BABAR.
THAT WAS BEFORE.
BEFORE
BEFORE WHAT?
WELL, I PROMISED NOT TO TELL
ANYONE.
I'M SORRY, BABAR.
BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
BABAR, PLEASE, STAY OUT HERE
AND LET US DO OUR WORK.
OTHERS MUST PAY FOR THIS
TREACHERY.
THE PHANTOM.
PLEASE!
LET ME IN!
LET ME IN!
(sinister laughing)
AHHH!
YOU CAN'T FIX IT UP.
YOU'RE TELLING ME.
THE WHOLE PLACE IS FALLING
APART.
I'M SORRY I TRIED TO HELP.
NO ONE WILL BOTHER YOU AGAIN.
NO ONE.
GOODBYE.
(King Babar) THE PHANTOM
HAD SUCCEEDED IN SCARING THE
MAYOR AWAY.
BUT NEITHER HE NOR I WERE
PREPARED FOR WHAT WAS TO
HAPPEN NEXT.
Madam: BABAR?
IT'S VERY LATE.
IS ANYTHING WRONG?
NO, NOT REALLY.
I JUST COULDN'T GET TO SLEEP.
YOU'RE STILL UPSET ABOU
THE MUSIC HALL, AREN'T YOU?
IT'S JUST NOT FAIR.
FIRST THEY AGREED TO FIX I
AND NOW THEY WANT TO TEAR I
DOWN.
WHY CAN'T THEY JUST LEAVE I
ALONE?
I LOVE THAT OLD HALL, TOO.
BUT THE MAYOR FELT IT WAS JUS
TOO FAR GONE.
BUT IT'S NOT.
CAN'T WE TALK TO HIM?
IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS,
BABAR.
BY TOMORROW MORNING, THE MUSIC
HALL WILL HAVE BEEN TORN DOWN.
TOMORROW?
THAT SOON?
I'M AFRAID SO.
NOW GO TO SLEEP, BABAR.
THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO.
(King Babar) BECAUSE OF ME
THE OLD MAN WAS GOING TO LOSE
HIS HOME.
OR EVEN WORSE, BE TRAPPED
INSIDE THE FALLEN MUSIC HALL.
YOU AGAIN?
PLEASE, SIR, YOU HAVE TO
LISTEN TO ME.
YOU CAN'T DESTROY THIS BUILDING.
YESTERDAY YOU DIDN'T WANT US
TO FIX IT, THEN IT ALMOST FALLS
IN ON US, AND NOW YOU DON'
WANT US TO KNOCK IT DOWN.
COULDN'T YOU LEAVE IT LIKE
IT IS?
TOO LATE.
I'VE GOT MY ORDERS FROM THE
MAYOR.
WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE.
TAKE YOUR LAST LOOK AND GO HOME.
OKAY.
GOODBYE.
I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE SOMEWHERE.
I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.
I'M YOUR FRIEND.
YOU MUST LISTEN TO ME.
I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!
I DON'T WANT YOUR FRIENDSHIP.
CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE.
BUT IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT.
YOU HAVE TO SHOW YOURSELF.
LET THEM KNOW.
NEVER!
NEVER!
THEY'RE TEARING THIS PLACE
DOWN.
STAIRS.
AHH!
OKAY, ALL CLEAR.
BEGIN.
HAVE YOU SEEN BABAR?
WHAT?
BABAR!
HAVE YOU SEEN BABAR?
I THINK HE MAY HAVE COME HERE.
NOT SINCE YESTERDAY.
HELP!
HELP ME!
THIS WILL ONLY TAKE A MOMENT.
ONE HIT SHOULD TAKE THE ENTIRE
PLACE DOWN.
HELP!
HELP!
(organ ♪♪)
SOMEBODY'S IN THERE!
STOP THE CRANE!
STOP THE CRANE!
HELP!
BABAR!
OH, DEAR BABAR!
HANG ON!
I'M TRYING!
GET HIM OUT!
HURRY!
STAND BACK, MADAM.
THIS FLOOR'S READY TO GIVE.
CAREFUL.
OH, BABAR, YOU'RE SAFE.
HE'D BE UNDER TONS OF WOOD
AND CONCRETE IF IT WASN'
FOR THAT MUSIC.
WHO WAS PLAYING THAT MUSIC?
DON'T YOU SEE?
HE WAS.
HE LET YOU HEAR IT SO YOU COULD
HELP ME.
WHO?
THE PHANTOM.
THE PHANTOM?
THERE IS NO PHANTOM.
BUT BUT
I KNOW, BABAR.
I KNOW THAT TUNE.
AND SO YOU SHOULD.
I WROTE IT FOR YOU.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
YOU MEAN YOU'RE THE YOUNG
GIRL WHO INSPIRED HIM?
I'M AFRAID I'M NOT AS YOUNG
AS I USED TO BE.
BUT MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER.
THIS IS WONDERFUL!
THIS IS TERRIFIC!
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU.
AND I YOU.
SO MUCH TIME HAS PASSED.
THE FAULT LIES WITH ME,
DEAR LADY.
I FELT I WAS A FAILURE AND
COULD NOT FACE YOU.
YOU'RE NOT A FAILURE.
YOU NEVER WERE.
I BELIEVED IN YOU THEN AND I
BELIEVE IN YOU NOW.
BUT YOU MUST GIVE UP THIS LIFE
OF SOLITUDE.
YOUR MUSIC WAS MEANT TO BE
SHARED.
THE STAGE IS WHERE YOU BELONG.
AND YOU?
I SHALL REMAIN WHAT I
ALWAYS WAS.
YOUR DEAREST FRIEND.
SO WILL YOU PLAY AGAIN?
PLEASE SAY YOU WILL.
ANYTHING YOU SAY, MY FRIEND.
ANYTHING YOU SAY.
(King Babar) THE OLD MAN
WAS AS GOOD AS HIS WORD.
HIS RETURN PERFORMANCE WAS
A GREAT SUCCESS.
AS EVERYONE REDISCOVERED,
NOT ONLY THE MUSIC HALL,
BUT ITS BRIGHTEST STAR.
HE HAD RECAPTURED NOT ONLY HIS
FAME, BUT THE HEART OF MADAM
AS WELL.
AND AS I LISTENED TO THE
APPLAUSE, I WAS HAPPY TO KNOW
THAT IN MY OWN ROUNDABOUT WAY
I HAD HELPED MAKE IT HAPPEN.
AND SO YOU SEE, CHILDREN,
SOMETIMES WE REALLY DO NEED
HELP, WHETHER WE KNOW IT OR NOT.
THANKS FOR TRYING TO HELP ME,
FLORA.
BUT PAPA WILL HELP ME, RIGHT,
PAPA?
OH, WELL, I NEVER SAID I WAS
ANY GOOD AT TEACHING.
TEACH US BOTH HOW TO PLAY
THE PHANTOM TUNE.
YES, TEACH US.
AS FOR THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE STORY, CHILDREN, ONE SHOULD
ALWAYS GIVE THEIR HELP WHEN
IT'S REQUESTED.
HOW DOES THIS SOUND, PAPA?
LOVELY, CHILDREN, JUS
LOVELY.
