Flora quotes from Babar

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!

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!

Whatever could have happened to the diapers? They should've been delivered hours ago.

I sent them away.

You did what?!

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]

Look at the pictures I took the other day, father.

These are very good, Flora. I think you show a great deal of talent.

Thank you, father. I've decided that's what I'm gonna be when I grow up: A newspaper-picture-taker photographer lady!

You mean a photojournalist.

Yeah! That sounds even better

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]

Hey dad, do you think I could be king while you're away?

King?!

Yeah. Somebody has to be in charge.

Hah! You, king? Tell me another one!

I could be a great king.

Sure: Great at causing trouble!

What's the matter, Christina? Aren't you having fun?

Oh, Flora, I've never had so much fun. You've all been so nice and I.. Well... [sadly] There's something I should tell you.

Cornelius

[off-screen] Children!

Everybody down!

Cornelius

I know you're in there! Come out! Come out this instant! [looks for the children] Hmm...

Cornelius

Ooh! [pants twice] Whoa!

Why are we hiding from Cornelius?

It's just a game we play. Let's get out of these wet things.

Cornelius

Off all the... When I catch with those... [sighs]

Way to go, Flora! You were terrific!

It sure wasn't all my doing. The best team won.

And the best sister won, too!

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.

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.

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

I wouldn't know...

Alexander!

Guess what?

Off the team?

Good guess!
