Moomin (1990) s01e21 Episode Script

Snufkin Leaves Moomin Valley

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.
Snufkin's Journey
It is now autumn in Moominvalley.
Days have grown surprisingly short,
and cold rains have begun to fall.
Floren!
Where are you headed?
I'm on my way to bring
my brother lunch.
So the airship he's
building is almost done?
It'd be nice if that
were the case but it's -
likely going to take
quite a while more.
Have you seen it?
I haven't. No one else is allowed
to go in his workshop, even me.
Will it melt if someone
sees it unfinished?
Oh, I certainly don't think so!
Just recently, Moomin
asked to see the -
airship, but my brother
strongly refused.
I'll take a look it no matter what.
Impossible.
Moomin! Open the door, will you?
My arms are occupied.
Looky, I brought a gramophone!
Does it look like you
can fix it, Pappa?
Of course I can.
My aunt's super rich
but extra stingy. She -
won't give away anything
that's not broken.
I'm sure Pappa will fix it.
She did say this record
is fine though, -
so if the gramophone gets fixed, we can
listen to some lovely dance music.
Oh my, dance music. Pappa,
please do fix it soon.
It's been ages since our last dance.
Dance, eh?
Oh?
What's this?
Pappa, is that okay?
Hm?
I hear music.
That's dance music.
Well? Have you picked
up the dance steps?
I think I've gotten most of it.
Me too.
Then why don't the two
of you try dancing?
Alright.
Floren, you're beautiful.
Moomin, watch Pappa's movemments.
Sniff, can you dance?
Probably.
Then let's dance.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
It's been a while since I last danced.
That was tiring.
You have no sense of
rhythm at all, do you?
Sense of rhythm? What's that?
Well, then. Let's dance.
I think I'd like to get some rest
Oh dear.
I'm going to dance by myself.
In that case, Sniff, would
you like to dance with me?
Sure thing.
The rain has gotten stronger.
Did you get wet, Snufkin?
Not much.
Quite lively here.
I must say, we haven't
danced in so long.
Sniff brought with him
a gramophone, you see.
Well, do come in.
Winter is coming.
Hm?
Oh, well, yes.
Snufkin!
Snufkin, come, let's dance.
Oh, I'm fine right here.
Ah, sorry.
I'm sorry.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
Let's see.
It's broken again.
And I was just getting into my groove.
It's alright, Pappa's here.
It might be broken for good.
Pappa, try fixing it again, won't you?
Snufkin, are you any good at
tinkering machines like these?
I'm useless with them.
Useless.
However
However?
Everyone could dance to
the tune of my harmonica -
while Pappa is fixing this.
How does that sound?
That would be great!
Thank you, Snufkin.
Please do play for us.
It's a little sad with
only my harmonica though.
Could it be this?
I give up.
You're thinking about your
journey, aren't you, Snufkin?
Winter is coming soon, after all.
I know you travel south every year, but
I still feel a bit lonely about it.
Moomin.
What're those?
Hattifatteners.
Where do you think they're heading?
Who knows?
They're likely heading for
some deserted island.
The Hattifatteners are
constantly moving around, eh?
When are you leaving, Snufkin?
I haven't decided yet.
It's still a ways off, then, -
Have you decided where you're going?
I haven't.
It must be fun to go on a journey.
There are tough times, as well.
But the best way to be alone
is to go on a journey.
We hibernate the entire
winter, but while -
we sleep, we're not
lonely at all.
Sleep is for resting. You regain your
energy for the coming of spring.
Pappa, will you allow me to go
with Snufkin on his journey?
Moomins hibernate in the winter.
This is a custom that's
been passed from -
our ancestors for
many generations.
But I want to go on a journey!
I want to go and travel
south with Snufkin!
Moomin
You will make sure to be back
by spring, won't you, Moomin?
Mamma!
So Does this mean I
can go on a journey?
I can go with Snufkin?
If that is your heart's desire,
we won't stop you. Right, Pappa?
Yes. Journeys are fine experiences.
I myself used to travel
a lot in my youth.
Thank you, Pappa!
Thank you, Mamma!
Let's see what Snufkin
has to say about this.
I know I would enjoy going
on a trip with you.
So you'll let me come with you?
No.
I'm going to go alone.
As I said before, I go on a journey
for the solitude it brings.
A long winter of solitude
makes the joy returning to -
Moominvalley in spring an
irreplaceable treasure to me.
But Snufkin I
Let's meet again next spring, Moomin.
Until then, sleep well
and regain your cheer.
Upon my return, I shall once again
play my harmonica on that bridge.
Oh yes, I shall compose
a new tune as well.
You're tying those pretty gloomily.
No, I'm not.
Ah, there they go. You need
to tie them up more tightly.
We need to prepare as much firewood
as we can for the coming winter.
Yes.
You won't want to feel
cold, now, would you?
Once I grow a little older, I
will head out on my own journey.
Yes, that's the way to go.
Is Moomin home?
Yes, he is.
How is he? Is he still feeling down?
Quite so. I would not describe him
to be full of cheer at this point.
Does he feel that lonely
about Snufkin's journey?
It seems so.
But it's alright, Mamma.
Hm?
I'm sure he'll cheer up. I have
some great news to share with him.
Moomin, are you in there?
Oh. Have you been crying?
You're asking me?
Yes, you.
Why would I be crying?
Well, you've been in bed all morning.
I was practicing my swimming.
Come on, let's go outside.
Sorry, but I don't feel like going.
I'm going to visit my brother.
Come with me, won't you?
But he won't let us in his
workshop anyway, so I'm not going.
He said he'll let us
in, just for today.
Is that true? Snork is going
to let us see his airship?
Yes, he will.
Does that mean he's
already finished it?
No, not at all. He'll still need
to work on it for quite a while.
Why is he letting us see it then?
I've asked him countless times
before but he wouldn't budge.
Yes, he didn't want anyone
to see the unfinished -
ship, but when I told him
you were dying, he agreed.
I'm dying?
Oh, never mind that. It's
just a figure of speech.
It's just that you've
been so down lately, I -
thought you might grow
thinner and thinner
and turn into a mummy
Ah, sorry, don't mind me.
Stop that, Floren.
I'm sorry.
I merely wanted to
cheer you up since you -
seemed so dejected about
Snufkin's departure.
I understand. Thank you, Floren.
Oh, Moomin, I almost
forgot to mention this.
You absolutely cannot tell
anyone else about this, alright?
Alright.
Let's go.
It's My.
My, it is.
This is bad.
Oh, so bad.
We need to trick her.
And trick her we will.
How do we do that?
Oh, I have an idea.
What? Tell me!
Just nod your head to whatever I say.
Right.
What are you two being
all sneaky about?
We were discussing.
Yes.
Discussing?
Well, Snufkin's leaving for
his journey soon, right?
We were talking about giving a
parting gift to send him off with.
Yes.
A parting gift? For Snufkin? From you?
Ha! You're not fooling me with that.
Snufkin's -
not exactly the parting
gift type, you know.
Parting gift? Parting gift my face.
It's the truth!
Oh, it's alright. You wanted
to hide something from me -
and so you came up with that
terrible lie, am I right?
Not at all. Right, Floren?
Yes.
It's absolutely fine.
I have no intention of forcing
you to tell me your secret.
Let's just all pretend
I got fooled by your -
terrible lie and be
on our merry ways.
Hey, My
I happen to be very busy as well.
I don't have -
time to be dallying with you two.
Good bye.
Good thing she didn't ask.
Yes, very good.
I shall uncover their secret myself.
Just the two of you?
Of course! Just as promised.
Alright, come in.
It looks to be almost done.
No, no, not at all. I'm not even
halfway done with the engine.
Even the body still
has a long way to go.
This is actually still in no state
to be presented to people, but
I never imagined it
would be so wonderful.
What would be wonderful is when it
flies in the skies for the first time.
Snork, this ship will soar in
the skies, I just know it.
Really? Do you truly
believe so, Moomin?
Don't worry. I'm sure it'll fly.
Soaring high, high up in the skies.
That's what my heart tells me.
Thank you, Moomin. I feel truly
happy to hear you say that.
Even if you're saying that based on no
engineering knowledge whatsoever.
I feel really glad. I'm so glad
I showed you my ship, Moomin.
I also believe this ship will fly.
My! How did you get inside?
Through the door.
The door? But I locked-Ah!
Crap. I forgot to lock it
That, you did. But there's no
need to blame yourself, Snork.
Had you locked it, I likely
would've found some other way in.
You tailed us, didn't you?
Of course I did. I was curious about
just what you could be hiding from me.
Listen, My.
You must swear not
to breathe a word to -
anyone about what you've
seen and heard here.
Alright.
Right, then. Now, let
me tell the three -
of you more about this ship.
Listen well.
Unlike other ships, this one has a
very special component on that mast.
Let me off by that lake,
won't you, Moomin?
Why are you getting off, Snufkin?
Let's just keep flying,
it's so much more fun.
I'd like to get off.
Come on, let's just keep flying.
I want to get off.
Well then, goodbye, Moomin.
Snufkin!
Goodbye, Moomin. Let us
meet again in spring.
Until then, be well.
Goodbye, Snufkin.
Leaving for your journey?
Yes. Goodbye, Mr. Hemulen.
'Til spring, then.
See you again next spring.
Your departure signals the coming
of winter in Moominvalley.
And thus, winter came
upon Moominvalley.
It's winter and everyone's hibernating.
But somehow, I, alone, woke up.
What awaited outside was
a snow white world.
A Moominvalley I've never seen
before is spread out before my eyes.
Next on Fun Family Moomin:
Moomin and My's Great Adventure.
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
