Moomin (1990) s01e15 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.
Floren Loses Her Memories
That day, Moomin and
Floren were in the eastern
Moominvalley, climbing
up The Lonely Mountains.
Being high up feels
really good, doesn't it?
Isn't this better than just reading
your fairy tales like you always do?
Hm? Could those be an Edelweiss?
Edelweiss?
Not likely. Edelweiss
don't grow around here.
But I'm sure they look
exactly like Edelweiss!
I really don't think so.
I'm going to go pick some.
It'll be dangerous,
so you'd better not.
But I'm so sure that
those are Edelweiss!
You're really a stubborn one, you know?
Come on, won't you go
pick some with me?
If we help each other down,
I'm sure we can reach it.
I suppose it's not impossible
But I'm sure those aren't Edelweiss.
Edelweiss grow at much
higher places than here.
They're Edelweiss!
Careful now.
I'm fine. This is unexpectedly
easier than we thought.
I thought you'd find this
difficult, I'm impressed.
My Princess, may I have the pleasure
of humbly offering you a flower?
Thank you.
I guess they weren't
Edelweiss, after all.
I told you.
More importantly though, going
down from here looks quite hard.
Shouldn't we go back up?
Heading for that path
below looks to be easier.
I believe you're right.
We're almost there.
This is easier than earlier.
I'm really surprised, though.
I didn't think you could do this.
Princesses are very skilled
at climbing down cliffs
Floren!
Floren!!
Floren!!!
Now the pistils
One, two, three, four
Avalanches look strange nowadays
Let's see, now. How many
pistils did I count again?
One, two
Mr. Hemulen!
Did you see Floren pass by here?
Floren?
Something round did roll
by just a moment ago
That was Floren.
Floren?
You don't say.
Stop! Floren!
Floren. Floren!
She's breathing. She's just collapsed.
I have to carry her home!
Moomin, is Floren alright?
She's unconscious.
Then, what are you doing?
I thought I'd carry her home
It seems to me that
didn't go very well.
We could try splashing her
with cold water instead.
Perhaps she'll wake up then.
But how do we get the water here?
Here.
Use this to scrape bark off a tree
then make a container with that.
I see.
Please watch over Floren for me, then.
Alright. Hang in there, Floren.
Refreshing!
So, she hasn't woken up yet?
Not yet.
Well, then.
Thank heavens you woke up!
Floren, pull yourself together.
Are you alright, Floren?
Where am I?
We're in the Lonely
Mountains, of course.
Who am I?
Why, the princess of the Lonely
Mountains, Your Highness.
Princess? I see. Of course, I am.
And you are?
I am the Prince of Moominvalley.
No, you're not.
I'm not?
You don't seem very princely to me.
You must be one of my retainers.
Yes. You're my retainer.
No way.
Whatever is so funny, Old Man?
Old Man?
Don't you think she could've
really lost her memory?
I really don't. She's
just pretending, I say.
What are you people mumbling
about by yourselves?
Oh! We sincerely beg your
pardon, Your Highness.
That's my castle?
Is it not to your liking?
It's but an old wooden hut!
Floren.
That's a rather rude way
to address your princess.
Oh. I'm sorry.
My real castle must be elsewhere.
What?
This must be a temporary
residence, then.
Oh. Uh. Yes, that's what it is.
That makes more sense.
What are you two spacing out for?
Send my maid to my chambers.
Maid?
Did she say 'maid' just now?
Pappa, where's Floren?
She said 'maid'.
Mamma. Will you go and see
what's going on with Floren?
What seems to be the matter?
Well
She fell off a cliff
earlier and hit her -
head, and now she's
acting really strange!
Oh. Nanette. Do come in.
Nanette? I'm Moominmamma, dear.
But that name does not
suit a princess's maid.
You'll be Nanette from now on.
I'm quite tired.
I'd like very much to go to sleep.
Fetch my nightgown and put it on me.
How is she, Mamma?
She didn't have any injuries but it
does seem as if she hit her head.
So she's really lost her memory?
I couldn't tell for sure.
I was only joking when I said she was a
princess
Well, let's be glad you didn't
tell her she was a ballerina.
What is Floren doing now?
She's sleeping, wearing my nightgown.
Oh, Moomin.
Would you place a canopy
over Floren's bed?
A canopy?
Princesses' beds usually have something
resembling a ceiling on them, right?
That's a canopy.
Oh
Our Princess was really upset to
find that her bed had no canopy.
But then, that canopy
might prove unnecessary.
Floren might just regain her
memories the moment she wakes up.
Or so we hope.
What do we do if her memories
don't come back, Mamma?
I suppose we'll all have to
act as her attendants then.
I'm sure her memories
will return in time.
I'll go try then.
Try what?
I'm going to make Floren
remember everything.
How?
Well, first, I'll have
her recognize me.
If I do that, all her other memories
should come back one after the other.
How are you going to
make her recognize you?
She's forgotten even me, you know.
There's no way she can
completely forget about me.
Such confidence.
She's sleeping really soundly.
Yes, she didn't stir at all even
when I was putting up this canopy.
Oh. She's opening her eyes.
Are you awake now?
Floren, wake up.
Let's go and play by the sea.
Who are you?
Stop pretending!
I'm going to bite you if you keep
insisting you don't remember.
Oh my. You say the most
interesting things.
So you remember me now?
Of course I do.
See? I told you.
And who am I?
You're Feste, the clown. Am I right?
Stop laughing!
Feste!
Ow, ow!
You two, this is no time to be joking
around. Settle down immediately.
We shall begin the search for a man
worthy of becoming my husband.
A husband?
Oh, Stinky. What are you doing here?
Moomin called me over.
He said I'm to become
a princess's suitor.
Why would Moomin invite
someone like him?
Moomin must have some kind of plan.
What do you mean?
So, are you two supposed
to be my rivals?
Whoever answers the princess's
three riddles correctly
shall become her husband and
own half of her kingdom.
Awesome!
So? Who is this princess?
Alright! Will the first
suitor please come up?
I'll go first then.
Oh?
Hello there, Princess.
Is this man really one of my suitors?
Yes, Your Highness.
He doesn't seem to be
very well-mannered.
I'm very sorry about this.
You see, he comes from a
country very far from here.
Their customs are quite
different from ours.
I see.
I suppose that's understandable.
Well, then. Here is your first riddle.
Go on.
What has four feet, yellow,
and sings from within a cage?
Let's see
A Canary!
A Canary doesn't have
four legs, now, does it?
Is there even a bird with four legs?
No one has said it to be a bird.
What's the right answer then, Floren?
Why! How rude!
This man is definitely not
worthy of my hand in marriage!
I believe he must be tired from
his long journey, Your Highness.
Why don't we let him rest?
Hey! Moomin! You're kidding, right?
Quiet!
Floren's the one who's
acting strangely!
Wait! What's the answer to that riddle?
Whyever should I tell you?
Please have the next
candidate present himself.
Sorry about this, Snufkin.
It's fine.
Oh, what a gentleman!
I thank you for your
kind words, Princess.
These riddles might be a
little too easy for you.
First, please try to guess what
number I'm thinking of right now.
Three.
Correct.
Next, please try to guess what
word I'm thinking of right now.
Love.
Correct again!
It seems to me you'll be able to
answer the last riddle as well.
Listen closely. There are
two numbers on my mind right now.
If I add these two
numbers, what will I get?
Twenty-one.
Oh my! Oh dear!
Did he get it right?
So close! The correct
answer is twenty-two.
My heart is still
fluttering in excitement!
Maybe I should've just
let that one wrong -
answer go for such a
fine handsome man!
It's your turn then, Stinky.
Well then! Let's go become a
husband and own half a kingdom!
I wonder if Floren will
ever go back to normal.
She will.
I have such a suitor?
You did say that I could
invite anyone, Your Highness.
Yes. I suppose I did.
Well, then. Here's the first riddle.
Guess what number I'm
thinking of right now.
What a stupid riddle.
Do hurry up.
Well, let's see.
Six.
Not by far!
It's three million five
hundred ninety-eight -
thousand seven hundred
and sixty-five!
You're dismissed.
Wait! This is unfair!
How rude! Leave immediately!
Let me answer more riddles!
No more for you! Go home!
Give me one more chance!
Oh, dear. What a terrible person.
I've just lost all interest in finding
a husband. This search is now over.
Understood.
I completely support your decision
on this matter, Your Highness.
The rest of my suitors will
certainly be upset at not -
being able to meet me, but
please send them all home.
Right away, Your Highness.
Do be gentle in sending everyone home.
We wouldn't want to
have anyone fall into -
the depths of despair
because of this.
Oh, trouble, trouble.
Then? What does Floren want to do next?
She's upstairs, thinking.
She did say she wants to do something
more noble this time, though.
Noble?
What's that?
It means she wants to do
something more honorable.
I suppose that as a princess,
she wants do something -
that will earn her the
respect of her people.
Oh, here she comes.
Your Highness. How may I be of service?
Summon Nanette for me.
She's currently away.
In that case, please have her
make some soup once she returns.
Soup, Your Highness?
Yes.
I shall set out to personally give
some soup to the poor and needy.
What kind of soup?
I shall leave that choice to Nanette.
I'm certain the poor and needy
will be deeply touched
merely upon receiving -
some soup from their
beloved princess.
I'll leave the
preparations to you then.
There you have it. Soup.
The poor and needy don't
eat much, do they?
This much is enough.
Do you know any poor
and needy, Princess?
I'm going to look for them.
Oh. You're Feste.
Yes.
I'm heading out to feed the poor
and needy with some soup I made.
Do you know any poor and needy?
Let's see Yes, I do.
I see. I'm glad to have found
some poor and needy to feed.
Then, won't you tell me where
I can find these poor people?
Sure. I'll go take you to them.
They live here.
I see.
I'm glad to see that the
poor and needy of this -
country seem to be living
in such affluence!
To the lady over there,
do come over here.
Who is it?
I'm the Princess of
the Lonely Mountains.
Princess?
Yes, Your Highness! Please
wait just a moment!
What are you doing?
Come over here immediately.
Right away, Your Highness!
I'm coming!
I'm very sorry to have
kept you waiting.
Why, it's you, Floren.
That name again! I'm the
Princess of Lonely Mountains.
What princess?
It's not nice to play
tricks on your seniors.
Senior?
Then, you must be the Queen?
Oh, dear. So, then? What
did you need from me?
The Princess does not need anything.
I just thought that it was
my duty as a princess -
to come and feed the poor
and needy some soup.
Here, please help yourself.
Poor and needy?
I have three children
and have never had any -
problems providing
them with enough food.
Come now, there's no need to hold back.
Do help yourselves to some soup.
Drink your soup yourself!
You ingrate! Somebody!
Summon the guards!
Guards!
Oh my, I can't see!
I can't see anything!
This is all because
you wouldn't give in.
Floren!
Who is it who calls me again
with that lowly name?
Oh, please stay still, Your Highness.
Hold her, Moomin.
Ow, ow, ouch!
It's stuck somewhere.
Oh, it's this handle.
Ow, ow, ow! Stop that! It's
going to chafe my skin!
I'll remove that for you!
Here I go!
Oh, my! Hold it, My!
If you hit her head, the
princess will only get worse.
Yes. You need to consider
the princess's head.
I don't care how you do it, just take
this container off my head immediately!
Understood!
She's unconscious.
You didn't have to hit
that hard, did you?!
Oh, don't be silly.
You know I've never experienced
hitting a soup container before.
Princess, please pull
yourself together!
Stay with us, Princess!
She couldn't have died
from that, could she?
Don't say that, Mamma!
Floren!
Moomin, wouldn't we
have a better chance of -
waking her if we keep
calling her Princess?
Princess! Princess! Please wake
up, Princess! - Here we go!
She's awake!
Can you hear us, Your Highness?
Are you hurt anywhere, Princess?
Where am I?
On Earth. Where else?
That's strange
I clearly remember being up
in the Lonely Mountains
Weren't we there, Moomin?
Do you remember me now, Floren?
However could I forget you?
You're back to being Floren!
My, what are you saying?
I've always been Floren.
Yes! Exactly! You're Floren!
That's who you are!
Right, Floren?
How are you feeling, Floren?
Thank goodness.
What are you all so happy about?
What happened?
Oh, nothing big.
Just think of it as
something like a dream.
And thus, Floren's short and
happy time as a princess ended.
Well, I suppose we can't really
say whether she was happy or not.
Do you know about martians?
If you think they look like dreadful
monsters, you're very much mistaken.
Real martians are very cute,
strange little creatures.
Next on Fun Family Moomin, Episode 16:
Martians in Moominvalley.
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
