Moomin (1990) s01e14 Episode Script

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 Next-door Neighbor is a Strict Mom
It was the perfect weather
for a walk, and so -
Moominpappa obliged and
strolled along aimlessly.
Hello, Mr. Hemulen.
Hello, Pappa.
Did you find a new flower?
No. There is now not a single flower in
Moominvalley which I don't know of.
I suppose that's just
as how there isn't a -
single person in Moominvalley
whom I don't know.
Yes, I do suppose so.
Would you like to come over to
our house for tea, Mr. Hemulen?
Oh, it's Moomin.
It would seem so.
It's not very nice to spy
on other people's homes.
Well, children are just
bundles of curiosity.
Moomin. What are you looking at?
Oh, Pappa.
I believe nobody lives in this house.
They moved in recently.
Well, well. Move over.
A quiet family, it would seem.
It seems I can make new
friends, I'm really happy.
Yes, but they do seem to
be rather meek children.
I want to see them up closer.
Me too. But it's been a while now,
and they all haven't moved an inch.
Then I suppose we'll
just have to get closer.
Wouldn't it be rude to suddenly talk
to people we don't know though, Pappa?
They seem to be the aristocratic type.
Well, I will just have to do it in
such a way that I won't seem rude.
Mr. Hemulen, would you be so kind as
to lend me your magnifying glass?
My magnifying glass?
Why yes, of course.
Thank you.
What are you going to do, Pappa?
All of you, make sure you don't
move from here, alright?
If they see you, my plan
will crumble to pieces.
Just what are you planning, Pappa?
Sometimes, it seems to me Pappa can
be even more childish than I am.
True.
Mama There's a strange person.
Excuse me, but what could you
possibly be doing in here, Mister?
Huh?
Oh my, oh my, oh my.
I clearly remember this place
being a vacant house
We recently moved in here!
Oh, so that's how it is, I was
quite surprised just now.
I had absolutely no idea.
Well, then? Would you mind
telling me what you were doing?
I was observing ant routes.
Ant routes?
Well
You see, I was wondering how ants
decide and make their routes.
There aren't any ants
passing right now,
but this here is
actually an ant highway.
It seems to me there is nothing
distinguishing about it, though.
Oh, but more
importantly, I'd like to -
apologize for not
noticing your presence
as I was engrossed with my observation.
I'm very sorry.
Let me introduce myself.
Though it's quite a ways
from here, I'm a resident -
of the home next to yours.
My name is Moomin
I take it you are Moominpappa?
Oh! Well, well, oh my.
Yes, I am Moominpappa.
But if I may ask, how
do you know of me?
I had heard that this area
is filled with eccentrics.
And that amongst them is someone named
Moominpappa.
Well, well. I am honored.
And may I ask for your
name as well, Madam?
I'm Fjonka. I am a housewife.
I am very honored to meet your
acquaintance, Madam Fjonka.
Well, I guess Pappa managed to become
acquaintances with that lady.
A welcome party?
That is a must, don't you think?
We must welcome our new neighbors.
What kind of party
should we have, though?
The kind of party
that will express our -
sincere desire to welcome
our new neighbors.
Exactly.
I should go think of something
to welcome them with too!
I'll be counting on that.
Mr. Hemulen.
Yes, I already know.
You were going to ask for
fireworks, weren't you?
What shall I do, I wonder?
I would love to have flowers
enough to fill this basket.
Of course. I know just the
place to find those flowers.
Those kids sure will be happy!
I'm also very happy.
Even when we get there, you
mustn't forget to mind -
your manners, as you always do.
Do you understand?
Yes, Mother.
Kindly take those cookies to
the table, will you, dear?
Alright!
The slide's looking good.
Great! I shall try
sliding down as well.
Oh, that looks tasty.
Sniff, mind your manners, will you?
Ah, Moomin, you cheat!
Everyone! Our guests are arriving.
Madam Fjonka is arriving!
Alright, everyone. Let us
shower the floor with flowers.
Should we have the fireworks at
the beginning, or at the end?
Why, the end, most certainly.
Fireworks are the perfect finale.
Welcome, Madam.
Thank you for your kind invitation.
My name is Fjonka.
Please, come in, come in.
Well, then. Don't mind if I do.
Welcome to Moominvalley!
What is this?
Mama, this house seems
to be quite messy.
We spread these on the floor
as a sign of welcome.
They bring about a nice
fragrance, don't you think?
Fragrance?
Well, I suppose so.
Well then, Madam. Let me
introduce the children.
Oh my. All four of them?
No. Moomintroll would be my son,
and the rest are his friends.
I believe they and your children
can become great playmates.
My children don't fancy
playing very much, though.
They love reading books
and studying a lot more.
Oh my. Yours are quite the
unusual children, I see.
Unusual?
Well then, Madam. This
way, if you please.
You kids can stay here and play.
Mind your manners.
Yes, Mother.
This is something the children
created to play with.
To play with
So
Do you really dislike playing?
Yes.
So, I take it that means that you don't
intend to go on the slide at all?
I don't.
Me neither.
Not at all.
So, you really don't want to?
Really.
You heard it, guys.
It seems they really
don't want to play.
Yahoooooo!
That would be Moomin.
Those would be My and Sniff.
Your children really seem
to be the quiet types.
Yes.
I've brought them up in
strict discipline, after all.
That was one of mine.
That one was my child too.
I suppose they're finally having
fun with the rest of the kids.
I baked some of my
best homemade cookies.
Please do have some.
What seems to be the matter, Madam?
One at a time, now.
Oh my goodness!
What in the world is this about?
I clearly told you to
mind your manners!
Now, hold it right there! Whatever
shall we do if you hurt yourself?
It's perfectly fine, Madam.
I have the most wonderful
salve for slide injuries.
How dare you
Children! Stop that this very minute!
We're leaving! Stop, now!
Let us go on it just
one more time, Mother!
Just once more, please!
No! Not ever again!
Just once!
I said no!
I suppose they'll be leaving soon.
This is just as I worried it would be!
This is terrible! You've become
such disobedient children!
This is a terrible place to
raise children in, after all!
What are these?
These are welcome fireworks for you.
Fireworks?
Yes. These are special fireworks
I made just for today.
Hey! Let's play again, alright?
Alright!
No, you won't!
It seems Madam Fjonka
was in a bad mood.
The kids were in a
very good mood though.
We should've let her play on the slide.
I'm sure she would've loved it.
Adults don't play on slides, Sniff.
Especially people like Madam Fjonka.
Ouch. Ow, ow, ow, ouch.
Pappa!
Oh. Sorry about this, Moomin.
I'll fix this soon.
Don't worry. I'll
rebuild it in no time.
What happened, Pappa?
Nothing much. I was just
remembering my childhood.
You understand, don't you, Mamma?
Alright. Since I'm rebuilding
it anyway, I'll turn -
this into a slide Mamma can
play on just fine as well!
Let's see
Children, fetch me my carpentry tools.
Pappa, I'm glad you're
rebuilding the slide
But don't hog it afterwards, alright?
Of course I won't!
Under no circumstances
are you to leave -
the house while I am away.
Is that clear?
May we stay in the garden?
Well, I suppose the
garden would be fine
What if someone invites us to play?
By someone, you mean Moomin?
You may not play with
Moomin and his friends.
Those children are reckless
and undisciplined.
Where are you going, Mother?
I'm off to look for a new home.
It was a mistake for us to
move into Moominvalley.
Oh. It's Madam Fjonka.
Good day, Madam.
Don't invite my children to play.
That's too bad
I wanted to go and have fun
in the forest with them.
I suppose we'll just
have to go by ourselves.
Hey! Wait for me!
You're so cool!
Help me!
Just let go, Sniff.
What are you saying?
I'll fall if I do! I'll die!
We really should've invited
those children to join us.
But Madam said not to.
They looked like they
wanted to play though.
Sniff, you're dead.
I'm fine.
I fell into a river. I'll
just swim towards the bank.
You can't swim, can you?
Oh, details.
Oh?
It's those kids!
They could come join us
Their mother probably told them not to.
Must be boring over there though.
Huh?
What is it?
Hey!
Why aren't you playing
with Moomin and friends?
I don't think they'll play with us.
They haven't called
out to us, after all.
What is that Stinky doing now?
It's boring here, right?
Well, yes. It does seem
like more fun over there.
You know, there's a place even
better than Moomin's spot now.
Really?
Really!
Why would I lie about this?
Want to go there? It's
a little far though.
Brother, it's boring here.
I suppose
Do you really think Moomin
won't play with us?
They probably won't.
I think so too. So, what now?
Are you coming or not?
It looks like Stinky's
scheming something again!
This is my spot!
You can swing on that
rope from here to there.
I play by crossing over back and forth.
It's really fun!
It looks awesome.
This is my first time
seeing a place like this!
I'm scared
It's fine!
If you're going to be
swinging, it would be just -
boring without at least this
much thrill in it, right?
But the other side looks a
little higher than this side.
I'm sure that'll be no problem for you.
So, who's first?
You can all go at once too.
All at once?
It'll boost your confidence if
you're all together, right?
I don't want to.
Then I guess one by
one would be better.
Alrighty, who's going?
This is really fun!
Can you do it?
Of course! I already said so, didn't I?
I told you this is my spot.
Swinging about is my specialty.
Well, then. Why don't you show
us what you've got, Stinky?
Moomin!
I really like swinging too.
But I don't think I can do this one.
You've crossed over countless
times here, haven't you?
Y-Yes. I most definitely have.
Of course you have.
Since you're recommending this place to
these kids, I'm sure it's very safe.
But well, I'm just the
tiniest bit worried.
Won't you do a demonstration
for us, Stinky?
If you swing, I'll swing too.
You can go ahead, Moomin.
You're the expert here, right?
I want to see how you do it. Go on.
What seems to be the matter?
You weren't lying to us, now were you?
Of course not! How rude!
Oh, I'm sorry.
But I'm relieved to know that.
Please show us your
demonstration, then.
Alright, everyone.
Stinky is going to swing -
for us, so let's all
observe closely.
Alright!
Go ahead, Stinky!
Let's give him a round of applause.
You're so brave, Stinky.
Now, hurry.
Everyone's waiting, Stinky.
Well, then! Hurry up, Stinky!
Give us a show!
Uh-oh.
You were going to make these children
go through that, weren't you?
No! Look, I've reached it!
This is too risky for us.
Stinky brought you here knowing that.
No! That's not what I intended!
Come with us.
We can all play together.
This is great, isn't it, Stinky?
You can just keep
swinging forever there!
Hey! No! Wait! Please!
Don't leave me here!
Help meee!
Help me!
Hey, Moomin!
Enamored, Fjonka's children
played until late.
Today was really fun!
Thank you, Moomin!
Goodbye, Moomin.
Goodbye! See you tomorrow!
Oh my! Children!
Why did you go out of the house?
I was so worried!
We were with Moomin
Did he invite you again?
No, we were the ones who insisted.
Now, now, there's no need to lie.
Anyhow, we're moving out
of this place soon.
Moving?
Yes! I found us the perfect home.
Come now.
We have preparations to make.
What's wrong?
We don't want to move.
We don't.
We want to keep living here.
We definitely don't want to move away!
Let's stay in Moominvalley
forever, Mother.
What's the matter with all of you?
Why would you say such things?
It looks like they're
having a family argument.
And such was how Madam Fjonka
became a resident of Moominvalley.
Oh no! This is bad!
Floren fell from a cliff and
turned into a princess!
Now all her actions have become
quite difficult to deal with!
Next time on Fun Family
Moomin, Episode 15:
Floren Loses Her Memories
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
