Babar quotes

Come on, Isabelle, you don't want to nap. Let's play trucks. Vroom! [Isabelle giggling] Demolition Derby! What do you say? [Isabelle gurgling] Let go, will ya? Oh, Isabelle! Whoa! [Loud crash] [Isabelle crying loudly]

Good gracious!

Don't worry, I'm okay. I was--

Oh, poor baby. Is my little sweetheart okay?

Well, maybe a slight concussion, or two.

You scared the daylights out of her, Alexander.

But I was only trying to play with her. She almost ripped my trunk off.

My poor little thing. [Isabelle whimpering]

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]

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!

I know you're not feeling well, Isabelle, dear, But you must have something to eat.

Isabelle

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...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No? Well, how about... "Dearest citizens of Celesteville"? Uh, no, that doesn't see enough.

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.

Cornelius

Ahh... Ohh, there's nothing like a warm bath to make you feel like a brand new pachyderm. [humming] [Pompadour screams]

Cornelius

Pompadour, what's wrong?

Pompadour

This!

Cornelius

"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?!

YOUR MAJESTY!!!

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

Cornelius

Babar would never allow Flora to publish those pictures. It would be deadly for the king's public image. I mean, uh... I was in the bathtub, Popmadour, with my toy boats.... and my... my duckie...

Pompadour

My sentiments exactly, Cornelius. It would be very dangerous to undermine the people's confidence in their king. But at least you weren't made to look silly as I was. The people will think I have no... no... table manners!

I love those royal boxer shorts you made for me, but I don't want the whole kingdom to see them.

Oh, Babar. I'll bet you'd look cute!

Mice?

Water buffaloes!

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!"

"Tusks, trunks and gray"? Oh, Babar... [chuckles]

Well, it sounded better way back then...

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

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

[to Alexander] You say your sister is sick? What's wrong with her?

She was out there with us today and she got bitten by a snake.

What kind of snake was it?

A purple night shadow.

[gets shocked and horrified of this revelation; such as her cat] Come on! We haven't much time! [runs off to her house as Alexander follows her] I'll need some things from the house!

It's not whether you win or lose...

...It's how you play the game. I know. I just wish we could play the game well enough to win. Just once!

My dad's better then your dad!

My dad's a billion times better then your dad!

Yeah? Well, my dad is two hundred and seventy-three kabillion times better then your dad, and twice on Sundays!

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!
