Rataxes quotes from Babar

Rataxes

All I want is...to be king of Celesteville!

Rataxes

[about his hammer] Basil! This watchamacallit you stole is defective!

Basil

It's a tacky tyrant who blames his tools.

Rataxes, listen. The hunter's up to something strange. We have to work together to stop him.

Rataxes

No chance. [runs away]

I thought rhinos were afraid of nothing.

Rataxes

[off-screen, while one man tries to shoot him] Run, [on-screen] while you still can! [Babar exits out of the hunter's camp]

Ahhh! [a man points his gun at Babar] Turns out rhinos are afraid of something after all.

Cornelius

Yes. Well, I'm afraid that it's over for us. But at least we can take it like gentlemen.

Pompadour

Can we vote on that?

Good work.

Cornelius

After you dear, Pompadour.

Pompadour

Why thank you, Cornelius.

[gasps]

The hunter...

He's starting a... [The hunter throw the torch creating a jungle fire] Fire! We have to do something.

Rataxes

Don't you know it. [runs away]

[off-screen] Rataxes, come back! [on-screen] We need you! Let's go.

Babar, you're safe!

Young Arthur

[looks worried] Babar, I'm scared.

[to Arthur] Cheer up. We'll beat this thing.

Cornelius

[off-screen] Look out!

Cornelius

Believe it or not, Babar. We're holding it back. Keeping it at bay.

How long can we keep out?

Cornelius

For a while if the winds don't shift. [scratches his head] Everyone's tiring.

Somebody... [coughs] ...do something!

[running through the jungle fire] Help us! Save our water ways!

Why don't you help us save our homes?

Cornelius

Oh, no. Here come the others.

EVERYBODY, JUST HOLD IT!!

Pompadour

[off-screen] Sire, sire! [on-screen when his clothes got ruined and burned] It's no use! The wind is shifting! The fire's out of control!

Now we can't even help ourselves.

Rataxes

[off-screen] Is that so? [on-screen when he and his rhino army arrived] Well, what happened to your idea of "Working together for a better jungle"? [Everyone looked at Rataxes] What about it?

Okay, All we all in this together?

Yeah!

Are we all gonna save this jungle?

Yeah!

Then, let's get to work!

Yeah! All right!

Fire! Fire! [The hunter's men run away from the hunter's camp and hopped into their jeeps]

No! Come ba-a-ack! [The hunter watches his men drive away] [last words before his death] You can't run! I won't run! I'LL DESTROY THEM A-A-ALL!!!!!!!!!

We will leave this spot as it is. A memory of what could have happened to us all.[The scene fades to the animals including Rataxes are all gathered together after they helped Babar last night] [off-screen] We worked together to [on-screen] save the jungle, can we work together to rebuild it?

I'm with you. We should start reconstruction of our nests immediately.

I beg to differ. We should clean the waterways post haste.

What about the water hole? We should come first.

Rataxes

I'm the one that got you all together. Me! And Babar, you could at least thank me by staring on my house.

Some things never change.

Rataxes

Feathers? What do I want with feathers?!

Basil

Oh, you don't want feathers, your rhighness.

Rataxes

Then what do I want?

Basil

You want to stall the elephants so you can get what you really want: Lady Retaxes' pet, Reginald!

Rataxes

Hah! I knew that's what I thought I wanted!

Basil

[after Rataxes saves Babar and Zephir from quicksand] You did it, your rhigness! You saved them! What a guy!

Rataxes

Quiet, Basil. I-I don't want it to get around!

Rataxes

What happened?

What happened? You rammed us, that's what happened!

Rataxes

I rammed you?!

Well, at least you're big enough to admit it!

Basil

Pedal, two, three, four! Pump, two, three, let's kick...

Rataxes

Please shut your face, two three, four!

Rataxes

Babar! What are you doing in here?

About 50 years! I wanna talk to you!

Rataxes

Save it. We gotta get you home and fast

Nah! If there were, the monster would have eaten 'em already.

Monster don't eat everything, you know.

Everything but broccoli; You've gotta respect them for that!

Rataxes

Okay, I want that stamp, And I want it now.

Basil

[clear his throat]

The stamp? [the stamp shows us a picture of Rataxes wearing a lady's hat] The stamp!

Pompadour

If I've told you once, I've told you thrice. We have no idea as to the whereabouts of your silly stamp.

Basil

Perhaps we should get while the getting's good, sir.

Rataxes

[hands Basil the desk lamp] Not until I get that stamp. It makes me look like a fool, [off-screen] the laughing stock of the entire forest!

Pompadour

I should think you're used to that!

Rataxes

The stamp! Oh, I could just kiss you for this, kid! [Isabelle puckers up] Er... kiss the kid for me, would you Basil?

That's our stamp!

Rataxes

[laughs evilly]

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.

Rataxes

Hurry up, Basil. I wanna go home!

Basil

You mean the mission's over? No more self-sacrifice for the good of mankind?

Rataxes

Listen, I'm all for self-sacrifice. But if there's nothing in it for me, forget it!
