Father, Mother, Flora's run away from home!
Cornelius: My tusks, in that storm? [thunderstorm] [Isabelle crying loudly]
Who else but Isabelle could even wreck a good thunderstorm.
I'll call out the guards.
[grunting and screaming] [thunderstorm]
Just like a sister to take the easy way out, and leave us with the diaper monster!
CCeleste
Whatever could have happened to the diapers? They should've been delivered hours ago.
CCeleste
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]
CCeleste
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.
Ahh... Ohh, there's nothing like a warm bath to make you feel like a brand new pachyderm. [humming] [Pompadour screams]
"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!!!
You can't throw this away, Celeste. It's the Celesteville national anthem I wrote when I was first crowned king. "Oh, Celesteville, home of elephants. Tusks, trunks and gray, the place for me to stay. Hey, hey, hey!"
CCeleste
"Tusks, trunks and gray"? Oh, Babar... [chuckles]
Well, it sounded better way back then...
CCeleste
It's always exciting having Arthur back in town.
"Exciting" is an understatement, Celeste.
He doesn't waste a second.
CCeleste
Welcome home, 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?
Believe it or not, Babar. Now, come on, kids, let's make a break for it.
PFPom, Flora, Alexander and Isabelle
Yay!
I'll take it! [takes away Isabelle's doll. Isabelle gasps and cries]
[takes back Isabelle's doll] I'll, uh, put it on the list, your Rhiness.
[Basil puts the doll back to Isabelle, pats her head and leaves. Isabelle screams and cries]
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?
CTChef Truffles
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!
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]
These wigs are ridiculous, Basil.
[giggling] They are indeed ridiculous. [laughing]
[laughing] Put them down anyway, you never know when you might want to look [laughing] ridiculous!
Sire, he's taken my wigs!
CTChef Truffles and the children
[they all yell] Father! Father! My spatula!
CCeleste
Babar, Isabelle is very upset. [Isabelle cries]
CCeleste
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.
[after the children did their rowdy behavior] Children. I know you're excited that the circus is coming today, but as I've told you many times, [off-screen] this palace is not your personal playground.
You almost knocked down your mother and sister! Cornelius lost many documents. [off-screen] And my cake is crumbled!
PAPom and Alexander
We're sorry, Father.
I don't like to do this, but you're going to have to learn to listen (this time). [turns to Celeste] What do you think, Celeste?
[Celeste holds the vase full of flowers and Babar winks his left eye at her]
CCeleste
Well... the attic could use a thorough cleaning.
Perfect (idea)! [turns back to the children] I want you all to march right up to the attic and clean it until it is spotless.
AFAlexander and Flora
The attic!?
But it hasn't been cleaned in a million years!
And we want to see the circus!
Sorry. You must learn your lesson.
[The children went back to the palace to clean up the attic]
CCeleste
We'll call off the punishment soon, right, dear?
Oh, yes, we wouldn't want them to miss the circus.
CCeleste
[to Isabelle] Isabelle, you're too little to come with us. But we'll be home before you know it. You be a good girl!
[Isabelle kisses Celeste's trunk and Babar has a happy expression. Pompadour is now the music conductor and let the band play beautiful music]
Cornelius, take care of the palace while I'm away.
Not to worry, Babar. (Not to worry.)
AFAlexander, Flora and Pom
Goodbye!
BABlaze and Amazing Butterfly
Goodbye!
PPerformer
Everyone, stand clear! [swings the axe and cuts the rope]
CCeleste
Goodbye, everyone.
We're off on our adventure!
AFAlexander, Flora and Pom
Yay!
[The hot air balloon takes off as Babar and his family are off on their adventure]
