Babar Season 1 quotes

Fire! Fire! [The hunter's men run away from the hunter's camp and hopped into their jeeps]

No! Come ba-a-ack! [The hunter watches his men drive away] [last words before his death] You can't run! I won't run! I'LL DESTROY THEM A-A-ALL!!!!!!!!!

We will leave this spot as it is. A memory of what could have happened to us all.[The scene fades to the animals including Rataxes are all gathered together after they helped Babar last night] [off-screen] We worked together to [on-screen] save the jungle, can we work together to rebuild it?

I'm with you. We should start reconstruction of our nests immediately.

I beg to differ. We should clean the waterways post haste.

What about the water hole? We should come first.

Rataxes

I'm the one that got you all together. Me! And Babar, you could at least thank me by staring on my house.

Some things never change.

Hey, Babar!

Hi, Zephir.

All set to trip the light fantastic?

I certainly am. [holds up a flower] What do you think?

It's you! [laughs]

It's not for me, it's for Celeste. Think she'll like it?

If you gave her a cold, she'd love it! Cornelius: Oh! This is disastrous! Not to mention terrible and catastrophes.

What is it, Cornelius? Are the

I'm innocent!

Cornelius

Worse than that. It's the seating

Seating arrangements?

Just as I suspected; Celeste is late. You're all clear to meet Princess Midge.

How'd you know she'd be late?

Arthur took her shoes.

Young Arthur

What are little brothers for?

I have it on good authority (mostly my own) that, at this very moment, Rataxes and his rebel rhinos are planning to conquer ze moon!

Cornelius

Conquer ze moon? That's horrible!

Pompadour

That's... deplorable!

That's Rataxes.

If I can just get this roof shored up, I'll be home free. [hears a rumbling] Oh my gosh! The roof's caving in. [grunts as he struggles to push the playhouse post back]

Young Arthur

Babar, come quick! It's really urgent!

And this isn't. This job is impossible for one person to handle. I need...

off-screen] Help! [on-screen where Rataxes and Basil capture him] Babar, help!

Oh no! Rataxes has got Zephir!

Young Arthur

That's what I came to tell you. He’s in big trouble.

I'm sorry, Mum. He's my best friend. [grunts as he tries to push, but runs as the playhouse roof collapses. And Babar sheds a tear after it collapses]

At that point, I had just about another that silly moon race. And with Arthur's help, I decided to fight silly with silly.

...And this is the drawing room.

You have an entire room just for drawing?

Well, it's called a drawing room, but it's really a place for people to sit around and talk in.

Oh, I get it: A talking room!

No, it doesn't talk; Just the people in it!

I hadda ask!

Rataxes

Feathers? What do I want with feathers?!

Basil

Oh, you don't want feathers, your rhighness.

Rataxes

Then what do I want?

Basil

You want to stall the elephants so you can get what you really want: Lady Retaxes' pet, Reginald!

Rataxes

Hah! I knew that's what I thought I wanted!

You may be the world's greatest dancer, but you've also been the world's greatest pain! [everyone gasps]

No-one talks to me like that!

Right, because you're always too busy talking like that to somebody else!

I don't have to stand for this abuse!

You mean "this truth"!

You can't insult me like this!

Actually, I can do much better, but after all, you are a lady!

Well, I never! You can go ahead and put your show on - without me!

Thank you. I'm glad you understand! [Mademoiselle Soretoza looks shocked and leaves in disgrace]

I wish I could play the piano.

Pompadour

But your majesty, whenever you want music, we will hire someone to play it for you.

I'll give up all my spare time, please just teach me that song!

Madame

Well... if you're that determined, Babar, I will. But only if you promise me you'll do three things.

I'll do four things!

Madame

Practise, practise, practise, and... practise!

You're not going back to the palace, are you?

I can't hide from them forever, Zephir.

But they'll be waiting for you!

A coward dies a thousand deaths; A brave man dies but one.

Yeah, but how does the brave man's best friend make out?

Sort of like a royal report card, huh? Gee, what happens to a king who gets an F?

Nothing compared to what happens to a king who loses his own crown.

Never fear! Zephir is here! It just so happens that I have recently graduated from the Sherlock Holmes School of Super-Sleuthing! Note the genuine diploma, and personally autographed spyglass!

Zephir, this is your signiature!

I know. I personally autographed it! Stand aside! I've got a case to crack.

My crown wasn't stolen. It was...

Exactly what the culprit wants you to think. Let's examine the clues, shall we?

What clues?

For starters, this room has obviously been ransacked.

I know. I ransacked it.

Madame

Babar?

I saw him! It was awful!

Madame

Saw who?

The horrible, blood-thirsty phantom of the music hall!

Madame

Oh Babar, there are no such things.

Tell him that!

Madame

Your eyes must have been playing tricks on you.

So were my ears I heard him he was playing music.

Madame

Now, now, No one has played music in that old hall for years. Perhaps your imagination has gotten the better of you. Why don't you have a good night's sleep and we'll talk about it in the morning? I'll leave the light on if you like.

Yes, please.

Madame

All right then, good night, my dear.

Basil

[after Rataxes saves Babar and Zephir from quicksand] You did it, your rhigness! You saved them! What a guy!

Rataxes

Quiet, Basil. I-I don't want it to get around!

What am I gonna do? Everyone has a gift for Madame, except me.

That shouldn't be a problem for a king, Babar. Just name it, and it's yours! I mean, hers! I mean, yours to give to her! How about an electric rocking chair?

Or a bathtub full of perfume?

Or a four-banana toaster?

"A four-banana toaster?"

Well, she could use it when I came over!

So, after going through all that trouble, I found out the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart. So tell me, what have you decided?

We know what we're gonna get mama now.

Something really special!

Something just from us!

Wonderful. What is it?

A toaster! [run off giggling]

A toaster. That's what I was gonna get her.
