Babar and Gypsy Bear in “Unfinished Business”

Questions, questions, questions. Everybody wants answers. Where? When? How? What? [sees a trinket and picks it] How curious. Looks like some sort of charm.

[off-screen] Problems, Your Majesty?

Huh? [The gypsy bear stirs his spoon on his cauldron on fire] Where did you come from?

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]

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.

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.

Be careful what you wish, Your Majesty. It might come true.

[chuckles] If only it were that easy. I'd just close my eyes...

Be careful.

And wish that I never was the king of Celesteville.
