Babar quotes from Babar

A fashion statement.

What exactly is it you're trying to say?

[about the rewritten speech] I'm telling you Babar, they loved it! When you told 'em that tuna fish joke, well, I thought I'd die!

I felt much the same, Zephir; I thought they were going to kill me.

Well, why don't you ask him yourself?

I would if I could find him.

Oh, hey guys!

Where were you? You missed the whole practice this afternoon.

I'm sorry.

The regatta is this weekend and we're not going to be ready, all because of you.

So I missed one practice. Big deal.

As a matter of fact, Alexander. I do consider it a big deal. Everyone on the team has worked very hard. I think it's unfair of you to let them down like this. Now, where were you this afternoon?

Um, I promised Zephir I'd help him. He was really busy, see and well, I'm sorry.

Well, I certainty can't criticise you for helping others. But remember, you have other responsibilities too.

Yeah, Alexander. You have other responsibilities too.

Hey, Pom. Come here. You just gotta see what I got. [shows Pom the boat]

Wow. How'd you get this?

Want to go down to the river and play with it?

Sure. That'll be... [looks at the boat and realizes something odd] Wait a second, Alexander! Now I know where you were this afternoon.

I hope you don't work Alexander as hard as you did yesterday, Zephir. He's got a big race coming up and we need him in tip-top shape.

He didn't work here yesterday.

But last evening he told me... [suddenly realizes that Alexander told a lie on where he was last evening] Excuse me, everyone. Zephir, would you mind joining me?

And you thought it was alright for your brother to run off in the middle of the night to rescue some man named Jules Verne?!

Well, we didn't think it was alright exactly.

We'll talk more about this in the morning. In the meanwhile, we should head over to Rhinoland to settle things once and for all. Come along, children.

I think they're really mad this time.

Then what, Basil, what?

Basil

Well, it's just that the password was originally intended for my ears only and well, it's kind of embarrassing.

JUST TELL ZEPHIR THE PASSWORD!!!

Pompadour

Sire, This is ludicrous. Everyone knows children must eat their vegetables. It's one of the agonies of growing up.

You never hid your Green Beans?

Pompadour

I should say not

Oddly enough, Pompadour, I believe you.

You two didn't go to all this trouble to win the contest.

We didn't?

No. You wanted to take a fantastic, creative idea, and make it into a reality. Right?

Arthur

Yes, Babar. That's right.

Then let's do it!

This whole situation is ridiculous!

Cornelius

I have to disagree, Babar!

Pompadour

I have to agree that I disagree, sire!

You know Flora, fishing isn't just about catching fish.

I wouldn't know...

There's no better way to escape the pressures of the day then doing a little gardening. Wouldn't you say, Cornelius?

Cornelius

Oh, indubitably, Babar. The garden is so quiet, so peaceful, so...

Pompadour

King Babar! King Babar!

So easy to get into. Remind me to get that gate fixed.

Oh my! What is it?

Cereal.

It's nice of you to join me.

Cornelius

Well, why would I want to stay cooped up in that cosy warm cabin, sipping nice hot tea, when I could stumble around in the freezing cold out here?!

If you keep moving, you don't feel the cold.

[about Bob Jr.] Arthur, you've outdone yourself.

Arthur

Thank you, Babar. But Zephir helped me all the way. I never could have outdone myself... myself!

Cornelius

Babar, you must go and talk to Rataxes. This must get settled before the situation becomes worse!

But Flora...

Pompadour

We'll find Flora, and explain that it wasn't her fault. It was all my fault!

Cornelius

It was my fault too!

Pompadour

I agree!
