Pom quotes from Babar

I think I'll wait a couple of years before making a big decision.

[talking about Alexander] What a goof up!

I can take an afternoon off once in a while. [kicks a soccer ball through the open doors, and it lands on the horn. A horn player blows hard to shoot out the ball] We can work on my model airplane, Father?

I would love to play too, Alexander, but I have a speech to give to the people of Celesteville.

But you're the king, Father. You can take an afternoon off.

Yeah, and I can get all this uniform before I choke.

Because I'm king, I must do many things that I would sometimes rather not do, children. [Alexander looks disappointed] We all have responsibilities to others. I found that out the hard way. [fades to the jungle] A very long time ago, back in the day before I was king, before there was a Celesteville, back in the days of your grandmother, my mother.

So, after going through all that trouble, I found out the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart. So tell me, what have you decided?

We know what we're gonna get mama now.

Something really special!

Something just from us!

Wonderful. What is it?

A toaster! [run off giggling]

A toaster. That's what I was gonna get her.

♪ A sailing we will go, ♪

Avast, ye swabs! Stow that racket, or else you'll taste the wrath of Greenbeard the pirate!

"Greenbeard"?

All the other colors were used up!

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]

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!

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!

Mice?

Water buffaloes!

You shouldn't have given (Isabelle) your candy bar!

How did I know she'd end up wearing it?

It's always exciting having Arthur back in town.

"Exciting" is an understatement, Celeste.

He doesn't waste a second.

Welcome home, Arthur.

Arthur

Nice to see you, sis. I wish I could stay longer, but there's still a piece of the world out there I haven't seen yet.

[chuckling] You mean there are people out there who haven't heard your tall tales yet?

Arthur

Believe it or not, Babar. Now, come on, kids, let's make a break for it.

Yay!

Prepare to Enter the Dungeon.

This is a dungeon?

[off-screen] Mom went and had it redecorated. But there used to be a lot of pain and suffering down here.

[off-screen] Hey. That's the Celesteville Cup. [on-screen] Father's been looking all over for that.

Dad and Basil won that when they clobbered the cycling team of King Babar and your Uncle Arthur.

[in unison] That's not how we heard it.

And this is when my dad beat your dad at the tennis finals. And this is when he out-tiddlied your dad [off-screen] in the Tiddly-Winks Tournament. Ya see this? [on-screen] This is the football my dad used to score the winning touchdown against your dad.

This is all very nice, Victor, but your dad couldn't beat our dad in a million years.

The Quarterback drops back, he looks deep, then unloads the long bomb to Rataxes!

[off-screen]The play is picked up by Babar! [on-screen] He charges for the goal line...

Ahh! [crashes into the wall]

Touchdown!

Rataxes

I'll take it! [takes away Isabelle's doll. Isabelle gasps and cries]

Basil

[takes back Isabelle's doll] I'll, uh, put it on the list, your Rhiness.

Father, father, Rataxes came into the music room and said he wanted to take the room and the piano--

Dad, dad, Rataxes said he wanted to take the banquet hall!

He said he was going to take my bedroom too. What does he want my for?

King Babar, those two maniacs, they ruined my bread dough, they ate my jam tarts, and they tried to steal my cooking utensil. Not only that, they flattened my cake!

Pompadour

Everyone, please settle down. His majesty can't concern himself with every little thing...[Rataxes laughing] Your majesty! [Rataxes and Basil wear Pompadour's wigs]

Rataxes

These wigs are ridiculous, Basil.

Basil

[giggling] They are indeed ridiculous. [laughing]

Rataxes

[laughing] Put them down anyway, you never know when you might want to look [laughing] ridiculous!

Pompadour

Sire, he's taken my wigs!

[they all yell] Father! Father! My spatula!

Babar, Isabelle is very upset. [Isabelle cries]

Victor's not feeling very well. I think he's seasick.

He can't be seasick. We're on a lake!

Okay, okay. So he's lakesick, alright?
