Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who's the suavest of them all?
[off-screen] Your Rhiness.
Here's the hero you hollered for, your rhiness. It certainly looks heavenly.
Forget it, Basil. This morsel is all mine!
But my belly is baron, boss. I've missed breakfast and brunch. Haven't you heard the rule: "Share and share alike"?
Yes I have, Basil. And I make it a rule never to share what I like.
Oh my gosh! It's Lady Rataxes! If she catches me snacking, I'm done for.
Quick, in here! [opens mouth]
[Rataxes shoves morsel in Basil's mouth]
You've been snacking again, haven't you?
VVictor
Prepare to Enter the 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.
VVictor
Dad and Basil won that when they clobbered the cycling team of King Babar and your Uncle Arthur.
FAFlora, Alexander and Pom
[in unison] That's not how we heard it.
VVictor
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.
VVictor
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...
PFPom and Flora
Ahh! [crashes into the wall]
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!
Babar, Isabelle is very upset. [Isabelle cries]
Questions, questions, questions. Everybody wants answers. Where? When? How? What? [sees a trinket and picks it] How curious. Looks like some sort of charm.
GBGypsy Bear
[off-screen] Problems, Your Majesty?
Huh? [The gypsy bear stirs his spoon on his cauldron on fire] Where did you come from?
GBGypsy Bear
Oh, here and there. What's bothering you?
[sighs] The king's supposed to have all the answers. I think I've run out of answers. [spins a trinket in his trunk]
GBGypsy Bear
It must be difficult having so many people depend on you, but then, I'm sure you wouldn't have it any other way.
Oh, wouldn't I? A carefree gypsy life like yours wouldn't be hard to take. No responsibilities, no decisions to have to make. [throws a trinket up in the air] Day after day after day.
GBGypsy Bear
True, but think of all the good you do for so many.
But as much as I do, there's something else that needs doing. [sighs] Oh, if I could just wish it all away.
GBGypsy Bear
Be careful what you wish, Your Majesty. It might come true.
[chuckles] If only it were that easy. I'd just close my eyes...
And wish that I never was the king of Celesteville.
Do you mind?! [dressed as a sanitation engineer, picking up litter]
Huh? Oh, excuse me... Pompadour! Oh, Pompadour, am I glad to see you?
That's what all the litterbugs say after the fact.
No, you don't understand. Something's going on around here, and... Pompadour, what, happened to you?
Your job?! Since when are you a... a trash collector?
"Trash collector"? I'll have you know we are... sanitation engineers!
We've just been promoted!
Cornelius? Don't you remember? This is Celesteville. I'm Babar!
Babar... hmmm... Babar...
There was a young lad by that name, but he ran away from the herd years ago.
I heard he ended up in a foreign city... [Pompadour gasps] in the zoo.
You don't know me. But I'm the king! My crown, it's gone!
Yes, well, it... it certainly was nice chatting with you, er, um... Berber. Er, come along, Cornelius.
It seemed like a nice enough young fellow.
Well, I must say he has a nice suit... for a lunatic.
And they lived hppily ever after.
What a nice story. Don't you just love happy endings?
As long as they're not too sappy.
But what happened to the family? Did they ever come back?
Isabelle, Alexander, time for breakfast!
So I guess the monster wasn't too bad after all, eh, Alexander?
No. She turned out to be pretty nice, for a little sister. [Isabelle and Alexander laughing]: Ha ha ha!
Oh, yeah. Heroes don't hug.
Well, maybe just this once.
