Flora quotes from Babar

Arthur

To think, just 2 guests could create such a havoc!

And I'm having 1000!

[Pompadour is in his blue sweater and pants with a pink towel on his shoulders and jogs] Good morning, Pompadour.

Pompadour

Good mango, Cornelius!

Cornelius

Good morning. "Good mango"? You mean "good morning"!

Pompadour

Oh, but what is a morning without a mango? Why, a morning without a mango is like - like... a sandwich without bread, like bread without butter, like butter without... a cow!

Cornelius

Like me without my glasses. [they all laugh]

Pompadour

Exactly, but seriously, Cornelius, I really do love mangoes. And after tomorrow's fruit festival, I'll have more mangoes than I can manage! Give me a mango, and I'm ready to tango! [leaps and leaves]

Cornelius

Oh my tusks.

[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.

Yes, Father.

You almost knocked down your mother and sister! Cornelius lost many documents. [off-screen] And my cake is crumbled!

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?

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.

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.

You're right.

Yes, Father.

Okay, Dad.

We'll call off the punishment soon, right, dear?

Oh, yes, we wouldn't want them to miss the circus.

Sorry about that.

That's okay. Hey! You're that girl on the trapeze, aren't you?

How did you ever learn all that neat stuff?

Well, I practiced with my mother and father as we toured around the world.

You toured... around the world?!

Sure! The circus tours all over the place! From the warm islands of the south to the icy lands of the far north.

We go to all sorts of places and make all kinds of friends.

Wow! What fun!

That sounds great!

You're so lucky!

I sure wish we could travel around the world like that.

We finished our chore! [off-screen] The attic is spotless!

You did? Well, I'm sure you did an excellent job.

We did! And we learned our lesson. From now on we'll be more careful in the palace.

Look what we found! [unrolls the map]

[about the map] Hmm! I thought I'd lost this. [to the children] Wherever did you find it?

In the attic, while we were cleaning.

So it was in the attic all this time.

What's it a map of?

It's a very special map, given to me by a very special man.

[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

I be good. Bye-bye!

Cornelius, take care of the palace while I'm away.

Cornelius

Not to worry, Babar. (Not to worry.)

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

Everyone, stand clear! [swings the axe and cuts the rope]

Goodbye!

Goodbye, everyone.

Goodbye!

We're off on our adventure!

Yay!
