RSRoyal Spy
I have it on good authority (mostly my own) that, at this very moment, Rataxes and his rebel rhinos are planning to conquer ze moon!
CorneliusConquer ze moon? That's horrible!
________________________________________
If I can just get this roof shored up, I'll be home free. [hears a rumbling] Oh my gosh! The roof's caving in. [grunts as he struggles to push the playhouse post back]
Babar, come quick! It's really urgent!
And this isn't. This job is impossible for one person to handle. I need...
off-screen] Help! [on-screen where Rataxes and Basil capture him] Babar, help!
Oh no! Rataxes has got Zephir!
That's what I came to tell you. He’s in big trouble.
I'm sorry, Mum. He's my best friend. [grunts as he tries to push, but runs as the playhouse roof collapses. And Babar sheds a tear after it collapses]
ABAdult Babar
At that point, I had just about another that silly moon race. And with Arthur's help, I decided to fight silly with silly.
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.
Yes, he is cute. Hello there baby.
[Baby turns around, only to be revealed as Troubadour in disguise, he then closes the crib]
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?
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!
[Cornelius, Pompadour and Troubadour follow]
[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.
But, sire! Your life is in danger.
CPCornelius and Pompadour
Somebody is out to get you!
[sighs] Oh look! A flock of turtles!
CPCornelius and Pompadour
Where?
[Young Babar zips out]
________________________
[Door slams]
Young Babar: Why are you guys doing this to me? If i don't patch things up with Celeste soon, she'll never forgive me.
Cornelius: We have to keep an eye on you or this king-napper fellow might--
Young Babar: What King-Napper Fellow?
Has anyone actually seen this guy?
Cornelius: Not as yet.
Pompadour: In any case, we've set numerous traps around the palace.
Cornelius: Nothing can get in nor out of the palace without our knowing it.
[Young Babar sighs]
[Alarm rings]
[Young Babar screams] Ahh!
Pompadour: The alarm! We've caught the King-Napper!
Zephir: I give, i give!
Young Arthur: Gee, Babar, if this is the way you greet your friends, i'd hate to be your enemy.
Young Babar: This is all their fault.
Let me cut you down and i'll explain.
So you can see my problem.
If i don't get away from here soon, Celeste will never speak to me again.
Young Arthur: Don't give up, Babar.
Zephir: Let's see if we have all the facts.
Babar has to smooth things over with Celeste or they'll be kaput, right?
[Young Babar and Arthur] Right.
Zephir: Babar can't un-glue himself from Cornelius and Pompadour because they think someone is out to King-Nap him, right?
[Young Babar and Arthur] Right.
Zephir: Then the answer is simple.
We'll King-Nap Babar ourselves.
[Young Babar and Arthur] Right.
Young Babar: What?!
Zephir: It will be easy. Here's the plan.
[Whispers]
Just my luck, not a rhino in sight. [Looks through Telescope]
Ah, The Rhinos are attacking! [recorded battle charge sounds mid-dialogue] The Rhinos are really here!
[Young Babar roars]
[Zephir Screams]
[Scene cuts to inside the palace where Cornelius and Pompadour are reading newspaper]
Cornelius
[while battle charge sounds continue] I say Pompadour, isn't that the Peanut Patch alarm again?
I do believe it is Cornelius.
Cornelius
Trade Sections?
__________________________
Zephir: You've got to believe me!
There really is a rampage this time!
Honest!
Cornelius: Oh, yes, of course there is.
Pompadour: Just like all the others.
Zephir: This is for real.
Babar is out there alone.
Cornelius: In a rhino costume?
Zephir: Don't you understand?
Babar needs our help!
Young Arthur: Boy, he sure sounded convincing.
Cornelius: The Mark of a true prankster.
Cornelius
Well, Babar has-- My tusks! The royal peanut patch, ruined!
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!
[gives chase] Stand still!
Zephir: Yikes! Yaaaaa! Babar, look. You did it, Babar. You saved a plant. [laughs] [Adult Babar]: But what a plant it turned out to be. It was healthy and strong and with all the extra attention that plant got, it yielded a whole jar of peanut butter, and that was the most delicious jar of peanut butter nouveau we have ever tasted.
Babar: Mmmm!
Pom: It must have been good.
Babar: Huh? Oh, yes, it--
[Latch clicks]
Pom, Flora and Alexander: The peanut butter poacher.
Pom: Hide.
[🎵🎵🎵]
[Alarm blaring]
Pom, Flora and Alexander: Get 'im! Yeah! Ahh!
[All gasping] Uncle Arthur?
[Babar clears throat]
Uncle Arthur: I was just doing Zephir a favour. He put me up to this. Ask him.
Zephir: Oops.
What can i say? I love the stuff.
Mmmm! Ah...
[Kids laughing]
YBYoung Babar, Pompadour and Troubadour (with Zephir's voice)
Conga!
CConga
[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]
Cornelius
[wakes up] Huh? I- is that you, Rataxes? What's going on?
You fell asleep and Conga crushed the camp, that's what's going on!
What?! You let Conga slip through my fingers? I could have caught him!
So that's what you're up to.
[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.
Huh? What's going on, Basil?
Forget it, Rataxes. Although it's too bad your trap didn't work.
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.
Well, we've got only one person to blame for that. Cornelius!
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'.
You should have relieved him on guard duty. He was up all night.
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.
I feel terrible about this, sire.
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.
I know you're not feeling well, Isabelle, dear, But you must have something to eat.
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...
EMr. Elephant
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No? Well, how about... "Dearest citizens of Celesteville"? Uh, no, that doesn't see enough.
EMr. Elephant
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?
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?!
CPCornelius and Pompadour
YOUR MAJESTY!!!
