### Special Delivery [3.1]

    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]
    Alexander: Demolition Derby!
    What do you say?
    [Isabelle gurgling]
    Alexander: Let go, will ya.
    Oh, Isabelle! Whoa!
    [Loud crash]
    [Isabelle crying] Waaah! Ahh! Ahh!
    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 tuks, in that storm?
    [thunderstorm]
    [Isabelle crying] Waaaah!!!
    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: Gnnnnn! Agh! [screaming] AHHH!!!
    [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! 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]
    _________________________
    Flora: And I'm never coming back.
    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]

Celeste: I know you're not feeling well, Isabelle, dear, But you must have something to eat.
Isabelle: Hmph! No! [Loud crash] [Isabelle crying] Waaah!
_____________________
Babar: Dear Citizens of Celesteville...
Mr. Elephant: No, no, no.
Babar: No? Well, how about... "Dearest citizens of Celesteville"?
No, that doesn't see enough.
Mr. Elephant: No, no, no. This will never do.
Never, never, never.
_____________________
Cornelius: Ahh... Ohh, there's nothing like a warm bath to make you feel like a brand new pachyderm. [humming]
[Pompadour scream] AAAGH!!!
Cornelius: Pompadour, what's wrong?
Pompadour: This!
Cornelius: "Celesteville Enquirer: the inside story 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]

    [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]

    [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]

    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]

    Celeste: It's always exciting having Arthur back in town.
    Babar: "Exciting" is an understatement, Celeste.

### My Dinner With Rataxes [3.7]

    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]

    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]

    Celeste: The king and queen are at home.
    Babar: They are now.
    Babar: Since when are you a trash collector?
    Pompadour: "Trash collector"? We are sanitation engineers!
    Cornelius: We just got promoted!
    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.

### The Unsalted Sea Serpent [3.11]

    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]

    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]

    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!
    Zephir: Thanks to your ingenuity, we're stuck up here until someone finds us!
