    Cornelius: You have to save them!

    Cornelius: NOOOO! And there's no time to argue! The plane's getting away!

### Cruel to Be Kind [4.2]

    [about the dressing gown Zephir gave Babar]
    Babar: A fashion statement.
    Celeste: What exactly is it you're trying to say?
    Zephir: [about the rewritten speech] I'm telling you Babar, they loved it! When you told 'em that tuna fish joke, well, I thought I'd die!
    Babar: I felt much the same, Zephir; I thought they were going to kill me.

    Pom: He's back! Zephir's back for good!
    [Customers cheering]
    Babar: You know when you were saying you wanted to do something that had meaning, purpose, and importance?
    Zephir: Mm-hm.
    Babar: Well, from the sounds of those kids out there, i'd say that's what you've got right here.
    [Customers cheering]
    Zephir: I guess you're right, Babar.
    Alexander: Three cheers for Zephir.
    Hip-hip...

    [while the children are swimming in the fountain]
    Flora: What's the matter, Christina? Aren't you having fun?
    Christina: Oh, Flora, I've never had so much fun. You've all been so nice and I.. Well... [sadly] There's something I should tell you.

    Cornelius: Ooh! [pants twice] Whoa!
    [Cornelius falls into the water. Pom, Alexander, Flora and Christina enters the palace]
    Christina: Why are we hiding from Cornelius?
    Flora: It's just a game we play. Let's get out of these wet things.
    [Back outside, Cornelius is covered in pink bubbles]
    Cornelius: Off all the... When I catch with those... [sighs]

### Rowing Pains [4.4]

    Alexander: Way to go, Flora! You were terrific!
    Flora: It sure wasn't all my doing. The best team won.
    Alexander: And the best sister won, too!
    Flora: Well, why don't you ask him yourself?
    Pom: I would if I could find him.
    Alexander: Oh, hey guys!
    Pom: Where were you? You missed the whole practice this afternoon.
    Alexander: I'm sorry.
    Pom: The regatta is this weekend and we're not going to be ready, all because of you.
    Alexander: So I missed one practice. Big deal.
    Babar: As a matter of fact, Alexander. I do consider it a big deal. Everyone on the team has worked very hard. I think it's unfair of you to let them down like this. Now, where were you this afternoon?
    Alexander: Um, I promised Zephir I'd help him. He was really busy, see and well, I'm sorry.
    Babar: Well, I certainty can't criticise you for helping others. But remember, you have other responsibilities too.
    Pom: Yeah, Alexander. You have other responsibilities too.
    Alexander: Hey, Pom. Come here. You just gotta see what I got. [shows Pom the boat]
    Pom: Wow. How'd you get this?
    Alexander: Want to go down to the river and play with it?
    Pom: Sure. That'll be... [looks at the boat and realizes something odd] Wait a second, Alexander! Now I know where you were this afternoon.
    Babar: I hope you don't work Alexander as hard as you did yesterday, Zephir. He's got a big race coming up and we need him in tip-top shape.
    Zephir: He didn't work here yesterday.
    Babar: But last evening he told me... [suddenly realizes that Alexander told a lie on where he was last evening] Excuse me, everyone. Zephir, would you mind joining me?

### Arthur's Object [4.5]

    Pompadour: If you asked me, I'd say Arthur's adventures are ninety percent fiction and ten percent imagination!
    Zephir: True enough Pompadour. And that arithmetic does add up to Arthur!

### The Diaperman Cometh [4.6]

    Rataxes: Put it back, dear. It's parents will be looking for it, I hope.
    Lady Rataxes: Don't talk rot, Rataxes!
    Lady Rataxes: Now we have a perfect family. A boy and a girl!
    Rataxes: What shall we call her?
    Lady Rataxes: Daphne, I think!
    [Rataxes and Basil are climbing down the palace walls]
    Rataxes: Basil, hurry it up!
    Basil: But your rhighness, you know I suffer from vertigo!
    Rataxes: You'll suffer from rigor mortis if Lady Rataxes catches us!

### Time Flies [4.7]

    Basil: If I may suggest sir, you might hire a ghost writer.
    Rataxes: Uh-huh. And how do I get one of those? Through a ouija board?
    Celeste: And you thought it was alright for your brother to run off in the middle of the night to rescue some man named Jules Verne?!
    Flora: Well, we didn't think it was alright exactly.
    Babar: We'll talk more about this in the morning. In the meanwhile, we should head over to Rhinoland to settle things once and for all. Come along, children.
    Pom: I think they're really mad this time.
    Basil: Sorry to interrupt, your rhighness. But King Babar seems to think that Alexander is around here somewhere.
    Babar: Well you three, home. And we're all going to have a long chat about this in the morning.

### Insecurity System [4.8]

    Pom: Boy Cornelius, where did you ever learn to signal code stuff?
    Cornelius: Oh, there's a lot that I know that you don't know I know.
    Pom: I know!
    Babar: Then what, Basil, what?
    Basil: Well, it's just that the password was originally intended for my ears only and well, it's kind of embarrassing.
    Babar and Pompadour: JUST TELL ZEPHIR THE PASSWORD!!!

### Kings of the Castle [4.9]

    Babar: What a day I've had. I haven't seen so many ruffled feathers since the hurricane in flamingo land!
    Basil: Good news, sir. Since you started handing out free frosty cones, your popularity's gone up!
    Rataxes: I knew it! The way to the hearts of my people is though bribery!
    Basil: You're now two points more popular then a rattlesnake bite.
    Rataxes: Rats...
    Babar: [to the children] Time waits for no-one, and neither does the school bus!
    Rataxes: Basil, how did I do in the popularity poll this year?
    Basil: Well, according to a random sampling, you're slightly more popular then a plague of locusts.
    Rataxes: Oh...
    Basil: It's an improvement, sir. Last year, you were less popular then a volcanic eruption!
    Rataxes: What's wrong with my subjects? Babar's popular; What's he got that I haven't got?
    Basil: Do you have a couple of hours, sir? It's a rather long list.

### What's Mine Is Mine [4.10]

    Arthur: So this is a tin mine. Kinda damp, isn't it?
    Charlie: So what didya expect? Wall-to-wall carpeting?
    Rataxes: There isn't enough mud here to make a pie!
    Basil: Don't worry, your rhighness; I'll find mud if it's the last thing I do.
    Rataxes: And if you don't, Basil, it just might be the last thing you do!
    Zephir: What are we celebrating, Arthur?
    Arthur: My fabulously rich and productive gold mine!
    Zephir: No!
    Arthur: Yes! The richest piece of real estate this side of the equator!
    Zephir: No!
    Arthur: Yes! This gold mine's got more karats then a herd of rabbits!

### The Scarlet Pachyderm [4.11]

    Cornelius: Sit down, Alexander! No horse play in the car please.
    Rhino Guard #1: Look lively, here comes Lord Rataxes. And remember, he said to make it look good.
    Rhino Guard #2: I can't believe it; We get to yell at Lord Rataxes! This is better then a holiday!
    Pompadour: He's struck again, sire! The Scarlet Pachyderm did it again!
    Cornelius: What daring! What chivalry!
    Pompadour: What cheek!
    Cornelius: My tusks, Arthur! How did you manage to avoid a run-in with the rhino guards?
    Arthur: The best way to avoid a run-in is to give 'em a run for their money!

### All Played Out [4.12]

    Rataxes: Basil, you're getting on my nerves. Don't you have something better to do then nag me with these unending chores?
    Basil: But sir, that's my job!

### Radio Riot [4.13]

    Zephir: Live from the malt shop, it's Zany Zephir, the voice of children everywhere!
    Pompadour: "Zany Zephir"? How appropriate!
    Pompadour: Sire, This is ludicrous. Everyone knows children must eat their vegetables. It's one of the agonies of growing up.
    Babar: You never hid your Green Beans?
    Pompadour: I should say not
    Babar: Oddly enough, Pompadour, I believe you.
