Babar quotes from Babar

I think I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat. My Treat. [Scene Transitions to the Pizza Parlor] Hello. Can we have some service, please?

Cornelius

What can I get you?

Nothing [Walks towards Celeste] Come on Celeste.

Babar! I thought you were hungry.

Look. What a cute baby.

Yes, he is cute. Hello there baby.

Cute. And Clever, too.

Pompadour

He's a gifted child.

Let's go Celeste.

Wait a minute. I think I know that woman. [They trip over a bowl of fruit]

Cornelius

My Tusks, this is unfortunate.

Ah-ha! I thought so. All right, What's going on?

Pompadour

We aren't at liberty to explain!

Cornelius

We have strict orders from King Babar to remain out of sight.

Babar, I thought you told them to leave us alone

I did... at first, then they kinda insisted on coming along. You see, there was this poster of me with the...

I don't care! Obviously you don't think we can have fun without them tagging along! I'm going home.

No, Celeste, wait! Wait, let me apologize!

[turns to Cornelius, Pompadour and Troubadour] Where do you think you're going?

Cornelius

We're going with you.

Oh, no you're not. Celeste is mad enough already! I've gotta straighten this out with her. Alone.

Pompadour

But, sire! Your life is in danger.

Somebody is out to get you!

[sighs] Oh look! A flock of turtles!

Where?

Celeste? You're the kingnapper?

Yep. This was the only way to save you from Cornelius and Pompadour. And it worked! (turns Young Babar toward a table) French fries for two!

Wow, you did all this just to see me? You must really be hung up on old Babar!

Hah! What about you? You're the one who planned his own kingnapping just to see me!

Okay, we both like each other the same. Agreed?

Agreed.

Just my luck, not a rhino in sight. [Looks through Telescope]

Rampage!

Ah, The Rhinos are attacking! [recorded battle charge sounds mid-dialogue] The Rhinos are really here!

Cornelius

[while battle charge sounds continue] I say Pompadour, isn't that the Peanut Patch alarm again?

Pompadour

I do believe it is Cornelius.

Cornelius

Trade Sections?

Pompadour

Yes, thank you.

Cornelius

Well, Babar has-- My tusks! The royal peanut patch, ruined!

Pompadour

No more peanut butter nouveau! [sobs] It's all because of that callous prankster!

No, Pompadour. It was my fault. It was the wrong way to teach Zephir a lesson. I should have clobbered him!

Hey, wait! [runs off]

[gives chase] Stand still!

Conga!

[roars as he pounds his chest, causing everyone to scream. Conga continues to roar and the camera cuts to the full moon until it fades to black with Conga's roaring echo. The scene fates to Cornelius sleeping while standing on guard in the morning]

Pompadour

Cornelius, wake up!

Cornelius

[wakes up] Huh? I- is that you, Rataxes? What's going on?

Pompadour

You fell asleep and Conga crushed the camp, that's what's going on!

Rataxes

What?! You let Conga slip through my fingers? I could have caught him!

So that's what you're up to.

Rataxes

[gasps] That's right, elephant, And there's nothing you can do to stop me.

Just don't expect a ride home in my ship.

Rataxes

Huh? What's going on, Basil?

Forget it, Rataxes. Although it's too bad your trap didn't work.

Rataxes

Because of the incredible cash potential?

No. Because it could have bought us time to fix the ship and escape. Now Conga is bound to come back.

Rataxes

Well, we've got only one person to blame for that. Cornelius!

Pompadour

I'm sorry, Cornelius, but I'm inclined to agree with Rataxes. You're simply too old to be--

Cornelius

I am not too old! And it's high time I proved that to you.

Nice going, you guys. This wasn't Cornelius' fault at all. It was Rataxes'.

Rataxes

Mine?!

You should have relieved him on guard duty. He was up all night.

Rataxes

Oh, uh, yeah, well, I guess I fell asleep. It was a simple mistake, it could happen to anyone.

Even Cornelius? Tonight had nothing to do with Cornelius' age. Nobody could stay awake that long.

Pompadour

I feel terrible about this, sire.

Rataxes

Yeah, me too. What can I do to make it up to the poor guy?

You can patch this ship up as fast as you can.

You're next, Pompadour.

Pompadour

Sire, I must protest! Proper protocol demands that...

Move it, Pompadour!

Pompadour

Moving it, sire!

All right, how do we get up there?

But your majesties, you don't understand the dangers! The wind, the rain, the lightning!

[to the operator, angry] My children don't understand the dangers either, but they're out there just the same! And that's where my husband and I are going.

I remember when we first brought baby Isabelle home.

Oh yes, and our three darling children wanted to know if the hospital had a return policy!

Come on, Isabelle, you don't want to nap. Let's play trucks. Vroom! [Isabelle giggling] Demolition Derby! What do you say? [Isabelle gurgling] Let go, will ya? Oh, Isabelle! Whoa! [Loud crash] [Isabelle crying loudly]

Good gracious!

Don't worry, I'm okay. I was--

Oh, poor baby. Is my little sweetheart okay?

Well, maybe a slight concussion, or two.

You scared the daylights out of her, Alexander.

But I was only trying to play with her. She almost ripped my trunk off.

My poor little thing. [Isabelle whimpering]

Father, Mother, Flora's run away from home!

What?

Oh, Flora!

Who else but Isabelle could even wreck a good thunderstorm.

I've got to find her.

Hurry, Babar!

Cornelius

I'll call out the guards.

Find her!

[grunting and screaming] [thunderstorm]

Flora! Flora!

Just like a sister to take the easy way out, and leave us with the diaper monster!

Whatever could have happened to the diapers? They should've been delivered hours ago.

I sent them away.

You did what?!

Flora! We need those diapers for Isabelle right now! [Isabelle starts to cry off-screen] I'll have to call them back.

And I'll get Isabelle. [turns to Flora] I'll talk to you later, young lady! Coming, sweetheart! [Flora sobbing, then the scene fades to her packing her things and sees her picture of her and her parents. She then puts it into her suitcase and carries it with her trunk, grunting and stops to look at her bedroom.]

And I'm never coming back. [slams her bedroom door before the screen fades to black]

Keep looking, Pom.

It's no use. Everybody wants dogs, cats, canaries, but no babies.

You mean, nobody wants somebody else's trouble.

Pom! Alexander!

Hide the paper. Dad's coming!

So what are you two up to now?

Nothing, Father!

I know you're not feeling well, Isabelle, dear, But you must have something to eat.

Isabelle

Hmph! No! [Throws a bowl of porridge and lands on Celeste's head, Isabelle cries]

A New look for Queen Celeste?

Dear citizens of Celesteville...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No? Well, how about... "Dearest citizens of Celesteville"? Uh, no, that doesn't see enough.

No, no, no. This will never do. [pulls down Babar's pants] Never, never, never. [takes Babar's pants]

King Babar takes a short break.

Cornelius

Ahh... Ohh, there's nothing like a warm bath to make you feel like a brand new pachyderm. [humming] [Pompadour screams]

Cornelius

Pompadour, what's wrong?

Pompadour

This!

Cornelius

"Celesteville Enquirer: The Inside Story on Palace Life"? [chuckling] Isn't that cute? But isn't that... but how... who, what, when, where, why? Why, why?!

YOUR MAJESTY!!!

Look at the pictures I took the other day, father.

These are very good, Flora. I think you show a great deal of talent.

Thank you, father. I've decided that's what I'm gonna be when I grow up: A newspaper-picture-taker photographer lady!

You mean a photojournalist.

Yeah! That sounds even better

I love those royal boxer shorts you made for me, but I don't want the whole kingdom to see them.

Oh, Babar. I'll bet you'd look cute!
