The following is a list of quotes from the third season of Babar.
Special Delivery [3.1]
[edit]- Babar: I remember when we first brought baby Isabelle home.
- Celeste: Oh yes, and our three darling children wanted to know if the hospital had a return policy!
- Alexander: Come on, Isabelle, you don't want to nap. Let's play trucks. Vroom! [Isabelle giggling] Demolition Derby! What do you say? [Isabelle gurgling] Let go, will ya? Oh, Isabelle! Whoa! [Loud crash] [Isabelle crying loudly]
- Celeste: Good gracious!
- Alexander: Don't worry, I'm okay. I was--
- Celeste: Oh, poor baby. Is my little sweetheart okay?
- Alexander: Well, maybe a slight concussion, or two.
- Babar: You scared the daylights out of her, Alexander.
- Alexander: But I was only trying to play with her. She almost ripped my trunk off.
- Celeste: My poor little thing. [Isabelle whimpering]
- Pom: Father, Mother, Flora's run away from home!
- Babar: What?
- Celeste: Oh, Flora!
- Cornelius: My tusks, in that storm? [thunderstorm] [Isabelle crying loudly]
- Alexander: Who else but Isabelle could even wreck a good thunderstorm.
- Babar: I've got to find her.
- Celeste: Hurry, Babar!
- Cornelius: I'll call out the guards.
- Celeste: Find her!
- Flora: [grunting and screaming] [thunderstorm]
- Babar: Flora! Flora!
- Alexander: Just like a sister to take the easy way out, and leave us with the diaper monster!
- Celeste: Whatever could have happened to the diapers? They should've been delivered hours ago.
- Flora: I sent them away.
- Babar: You did what?!
- Celeste: Flora! We need those diapers for Isabelle right now! [Isabelle starts to cry off-screen] I'll have to call them back.
- Babar: And I'll get Isabelle. [turns to Flora] I'll talk to you later, young lady! Coming, sweetheart! [Flora sobbing, then the scene fades to her packing her things and sees her picture of her and her parents. She then puts it into her suitcase and carries it with her trunk, grunting and stops to look at her bedroom.]
- Flora: And I'm never coming back. [slams her bedroom door before the screen fades to black]
- Alexander: Keep looking, Pom.
- Pom: It's no use. Everybody wants dogs, cats, canaries, but no babies.
- Alexander: You mean, nobody wants somebody else's trouble.
- Babar: Pom! Alexander!
- Alexander: Hide the paper. Dad's coming!
- Babar: So what are you two up to now?
- Pom and Alexander: Nothing, Father!
The Celesteville Enquirer [3.2]
[edit]- Celeste: I know you're not feeling well, Isabelle, dear, But you must have something to eat.
- Isabelle: Hmph! No! [Throws a bowl of porridge and lands on Celeste's head] [Isabelle cries]
- Alexander: A New look for Queen Celeste?
- Babar: Dear citizens of Celesteville...
- Mr. Elephant: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- Babar: No? Well, how about... "Dearest citizens of Celesteville"? Uh, no, that doesn't see enough.
- Mr. Elephant: No, no, no. This will never do. [pulls down Babar's pants] Never, never, never. [takes Babar's pants]
- Alexander: King Babar takes a short break.
- Cornelius: Ahh... Ohh, there's nothing like a warm bath to make you feel like a brand new pachyderm. [humming] [Pompadour scream]
- Cornelius: Pompadour, what's wrong?
- Pompadour: This!
- Cornelius: "Celesteville Enquirer: the inside story on palace life"? [chuckling] Isn't that cute? But isn't that... but how... who, what, when, where, why? Why, why?!
- Cornelius and Pompadour: YOUR MAJESTY!!!
- Flora: Look at the pictures I took the other day, father.
- Babar: These are very good, Flora. I think you show a great deal of talent.
- Flora: Thank you, father. I've decided that's what I'm gonna be when I grow up: A newspaper-picture-taker photographer lady!
- Babar: You mean a photojournalist.
- Flora: Yeah! That sounds even better
- Cornelius: Babar would never allow Flora to publish those pictures. It would be deadly for the king's public image. I mean, uh... I was in the bathtub, Popmadour, with my toy boats.... and my... my duckie...
- Pompadour: My sentiments exactly, Cornelius. It would be very dangerous to undermine the people's confidence in their king. But at least you weren't made to look silly as I was. The people will think I have no... no... table manners!
- Babar: I love those royal boxer shorts you made for me, but I don't want the whole kingdom to see them.
- Celeste: Oh, Babar. I'll bet you'd look cute!
To Tell Or Not to Tell [3.3]
[edit]- [The boys survey the wrecked kitchen]
- Alexander: Mice?
- Pom: Water buffaloes!
- Babar: You can't throw this away, Celeste. It's the Celesteville national anthem I wrote when I was first crowned king. "Oh, Celesteville, home of elephants. Tusks, trunks and gray, the place for me to stay. Hey, hey, hey!"
- Celeste: "Tusks, trunks and gray"? Oh, Babar... [chuckles]
- Babar: Well, it sounded better way back then...
- Pom: You shouldn't have given (Isabelle) your candy bar!
- Alexander: How did I know she'd end up wearing it?
Witches Potion [3.4]
[edit]- [After Alexander saves the witch's cat]
- Witch (Winifred): [to Alexander] You say your sister is sick? What's wrong with her?
- Alexander: She was out there with us today and she got bitten by a snake.
- Witch (Winifred): What kind of snake was it?
- Alexander: A purple night shadow.
- Witch (Winifred): [gets shocked and horrified of this revelation; such as her cat] Come on! We haven't much time! [runs off to her house as Alexander follows her] I'll need some things from the house!
Fathers and Sons [3.5]
[edit]- Babar: It's not whether you win or lose...
- Alexander: ...It's how you play the game. I know. I just wish we could play the game well enough to win. Just once!
- Alexander: My dad's better then your dad!
- Victor: My dad's a billion times better then your dad!
- Alexander: Yeah? Well, my dad is two hundred and seventy-three kabillion times better then your dad, and twice on Sundays!
Uncle Arthur and the Pirates [3.6]
[edit]- Celeste: It's always exciting having Arthur back in town.
- Babar: "Exciting" is an understatement, Celeste.
My Dinner With Rataxes [3.7]
[edit]- Rataxes: Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who's the suavest of them all?
- Basil: [off-screen] Your Rhiness.
- Rataxes: Bingo!
- Basil: Here's the hero you hollered for, your rhiness. It certainly looks heavenly.
- Rataxes: Forget it, Basil. This morsel is all mine!
- Basil: But my belly is baron, boss. I've missed breakfast and brunch. Haven't you heard the rule: "Share and share alike"?
- Rataxes: Yes I have, Basil. And I make it a rule never to share what I like.
- Lady Rataxes: [off-screen] RATAXES!
- Rataxes: Oh my gosh! It's Lady Rataxes! If she catches me snacking, I'm done for.
- Basil: Quick, in here! [opens mouth]
- [Rataxes shoves morsel in Basil's mouth]
- Lady Rataxes: You've been snacking again, haven't you?
- Basil: I found it, your rhiness! A document detailing the diverse detours within those darn dark dungeon depths!
- Lady Rataxes: [to Babar and Celeste] He found the map.
- Victor: Prepare to Enter the Dungeon.
- Alexander: This is a dungeon?
- Victor: [off-screen] Mom went and had it redecorated. But there used to be a lot of pain and suffering down here.
- Pom: [off-screen] Hey. That's the Celesteville Cup. [on-screen] Father's been looking all over for that.
- Victor: Dad and Basil won that when they clobbered the cycling team of King Babar and your Uncle Arthur.
- Flora, Alexander and Pom: [in unison] That's not how we heard it.
- Victor: 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.
- Flora: This is all very nice, Victor, but your dad couldn't beat our dad in a million years.
- Victor: The Quarterback drops back, he looks deep, then unloads the long bomb to Rataxes!
- Alexander: [off-screen]The play is picked up by Babar! [on-screen] He charges for the goal line...
- Pom and Flora: Ahh! [crashes into the wall]
- Alexander: Touchdown!
- Babar: Nice working with you, Rataxes.
- Rataxes: I couldn't agree more, Babar.
- Babar: Who knows? This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
- Babar and Rataxes: Nah!
- Rataxes: You know, it's a good thing you signed that peace treaty when you did. You elephants would never have survived a full-fledged rhino attack!
- Babar: I believe you. I'm barely surviving dinner.
The Coin [3.8]
[edit]- Rataxes: All I want is...to be king of Celesteville!
- Babar: Rataxes is going to ask for my crown, my kingdom...
- Pompadour: [about Rataxes] He's, he's... unreasonable!
- Babar: That's an understatement.
- Basil: Bow down to Rataxes. King of Rhinoland and Celesteville!
A Charmed Life [3.9]
[edit]- Babar: Questions, questions, questions. Everybody wants answers. Where? When? How? What? [sees a trinket and picks it] How curious. Looks like some sort of charm.
- Gypsy Bear: (off-screen) Problems, Your Majesty?
- Babar: Huh? [The gypsy bear stirs his spoon on his cauldron on fire] Where did you come from?
- Gypsy Bear: Oh, here and there. What's bothering you?
- Babar: (sighs) The king's supposed to have all the answers. I think I've run out of answers. [spins a trinket in his trunk]
- Gypsy 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.
- Babar: 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.
- Gypsy Bear: True, but think of all the good you do for so many.
- Babar: But as much as I do, there's something else that needs doing. (sighs) Oh, if I could just wish it all away.
- Gypsy Bear: Be careful what you wish, Your Majesty. It might come true.
- Babar: (chuckles) If only it were that easy. I'd just close my eyes...
- Gypsy Bear: Be careful.
- Babar: And wish that I never was the king of Celesteville.
- Pompadour: Do you mind?! [dressed as a sanitation engineer, picking up litter]
- Babar: Huh? Oh, excuse me... Pompadour! Oh, Pompadour, am I glad to see you?
- Pompadour: That's what all the litterbugs say after the fact.
- Babar: No, you don't understand. Something's going on around here, and... Pompadour, what, happened to you?
- Pompadour: My job!
- Babar: Your job?! Since when are you a... a trash collector?
- Pompadour: "Trash collector"? I'll have you know we are... sanitation engineers!
- Cornelius: We've just been promoted!
- Babar: Cornelius? Don't you remember? This is Celesteville. I'm Babar!
- Cornelius: Babar... hmmm... Babar...
- Babar: That's right! Babar!
- Cornelius: There was a young lad by that name, but he ran away from the herd years ago.
- Babar: But-
- Cornelius: I heard he ended up in a foreign city... [Pompadour gasps] in the zoo.
- Pompadour: Good heavens!
- Babar: You don't know me. But I'm the king! My crown, it's gone!
- Pompadour: Yes, well, it... it certainly was nice chatting with you, er, um... Berber. Er, come along, Cornelius.
- Cornelius: It seemed like a nice enough young fellow.
- Pompadour: Well, I must say he has a nice suit... for a lunatic.
- Celeste: The king and queen aren't home.
- Babar: They are now.
A Tale of Two Siblings [3.10]
[edit]The Unsalted Sea Serpent [3.11]
[edit]- Alexander: Victor's not feeling very well. I think he's seasick.
- Pom: He can't be seasick. We're on a lake!
- Alexander: Okay, okay. So he's lakesick, alright?
- Babar: Ah, there's nothing like the open sea. Right, Pom?
- Pom: Right, father. But this is a lake, not the sea.
- Babar: Oh, yes. Well, that's even better. Ah, the open lake! Doesn't sound quite the same, does it?
- Pom: [chuckles] No, it doesn't!
Ghost for a Day [3.12]
[edit]- Pompadour: How can we let his majesty deliver that speech? The way he's been acting, he'll probably do it in his pajamas!
- Babar: I know I've been acting crazy, but maybe our lives have become a little crazy lately.
- Pompadour: But, sire, it's simply the faster pace of progress!
- Babar: Precisely. And the faster life moves, the faster it can pass us by. I just think we should slow down once in a while, to be with family and friends.
- Cornelius: Now that's real progress, Babar. The sanest thing I've heard in a while. Why, it sounds like something the old king might have said.
- Babar: Yes, Cornelius. I can almost hear him say those exact words.
Boys Will Be Boys [3.13]
[edit]- Babar: I'd never thought I'd see the day when I'd be thanking you, Rataxes.
- Rataxes: If I always had to lose to someone, I'm glad it was you.
- Babar: Thanks, Rataxes. You were a worthy opponant; Always kept me on my toes.
- Babar: ...And so, Rataxes actually saved our lives.
- Arthur: He must have been sick or something!
- Arthur: Hey! Look at his. Remember this?
- Zephir: Yeah. You put that there, Arthur.
- Babar: Oh, yes, I remember. It's one of those traps you set in case someone else tried to find our treasure.
- Zephir: [laughs] All those silly traps. Ha! None of them ever worked.
- Babar, Arthur and Zephir: [scream]
- Arthur: You were saying, Zephir?
- Zephir: Let me be the first to congratulate you, Arthur. Thanks to your ingenuity, we're stuck up here until somebody finds us!
- Babar and Zephir: Just like the old days.
