[last words before his death] Can't even find something decent to eat around here, and the hunter is closing in once again! [The elephants trumpet] We will run no further. Tomorrow at dawn, we will drive him out of the jungle! I call for an elephant stampede! [The elephants trumpet]
[to the elephants] Shh! Quietly! [Old King pulls out a mushroom and eats it]
Your Highness, this is madness! [Old King eats another mushroom] The hunter has a gun, traps! We must out-think him!
It's all very well for you to say, Babar. You’ve forgotten what it's like to live in the jungle.
You have been away in the city on the.. other side a long time, Babar.
[off-screen] The elephant stampede [on-screen] is an honorable battle tradition that goes back to the days of the Mighty Mammoths. Isn't that so, your Majesty? [The Old King growls]
Your Majesty?
[The Old King closes his eyes and falls to the ground]
My tusks! [runs to the Old King who is now dead] Your Majesty!
Cornelius, what happened?
[A mushroom rolls out of the Old King's trunk]
It's the mushrooms. They're poison.
[Cornelius, Babar, and the elephants back away]
Horrors! What can we do now?
[walks to the rock] Our illustrious king has sadly departed from us. Although he has gone to a better place, his wisdom and his courage will live on in our hearts forever. We will proceed with the old king's final wishes... Tomorrow, we stampede! [elephants trumpet] We have little choice, Babar.
It's madness. We don't stand a chance. [Babar has a sad expression]
