There's no better way to escape the pressures of the day then doing a little gardening. Wouldn't you say, Cornelius?
Oh, indubitably, Babar. The garden is so quiet, so peaceful, so...
So easy to get into. Remind me to get that gate fixed.
It's time the truth came out. You all think I'm some big hero, but I'm not.
[The audience gasps]
Basil is the one who saved Isabelle, not me. If anybody deserves to have a statue made in his honor, it's Basil. Not just because he's a hero, but because guys like him are one in a million. Please don't fault Basil for what he's done. Protecting my image is his job. That's what I hired him to do. But I want you to know Basil, that, over the years, you've become more then just my employee; You're my... best friend.
Thank you, sir. I mean, Rataxes.

You couldn't be more correct, Cornelius. I wouldn't choose to sit in that chair.
Nor would I, Pompadour. Nor would I.
[Cornelius and Pompadour attempt to sit in Babar's chair]
Excuse me, Cornelius! I believe I got here first!
Pardon me, Pompadour! I must decide that I got here first!
I should be in charge. I have... I have... seniority!
Far too much seniority, I'm afraid...
