Arthur et les Minimoys (Arthur And The Minimoys) Page #5

---

around knockin' out all the customers?

My name's Arthur,

and I'm looking for my grandfather.

Ah, I transported your grandfather

a few years ago,

an old eccentric madman

who absolutely insisted on

being transported

deep inside Seides territory.

The Necropolis.

That's him, that's my grandfather,

and that's exactly where we wanna go.

- Sold out.

- Ah!

Necropolis, sure.

Why not the moon as well?

We didn't ask you for the moon.

We asked for three tickets to Necropolis.

Is that clear enough?

Arthur!

Arthur. You break my door

to steal the key?

Answer me, Arthur!

( screams )

Oh, what a job.

Right this way.

Come on, keep it moving

while we're young.

Yes, that's a leaf.

Let's go, dandelion.

Hey, that ain't for decoration.

You're gonna need it.

( chuckles )

Arrivederci. baby.

The car?

What's the car doing there?

Necropolis, ohh.

Oh, boy, here we go.

Ah, here it is.

Oh, wow! That's cool.

I got another one just like it

in pink. Wanna see it?

Beta, we've got

enough light already.

Arthur.

ARTHUR:

Where exactly are we headirhg?

We are here,

and we're going here.

Oh, my gosh. I know where that is.

That's right under the water tower.

Giant water tank in the hands of

that unspeakable piece of...

Now I'm starting to understand.

- Who are you talking about?

- The most eviI of eviI.

Oh. Maltazard.

( gasping )

( bell ringing )

( laughing )

Holy humpbacked gamallus.

Didn't anyone ever teach you

to hold your tongue?

I'm really sorry.

Arthur!

Granny?

And we're off.

ALL:
Ohh!

Arthur?

How long is the ride?

It's pretty short, as long as we can

avoid any unpleasant encounters.

What do you mean by

unpleasant encounters?

ARTHUR:
Aah!

( all yelling )

Whoa! I like it much better

when it stops.

We're running out of time.

If we're gonna find those rubies,

we need to get crackin'.

( all screaming )

Water!

SELENIA:
Do something, Arthur!

Get us out of it!

It looks like you two

are gonna have to get me out of this.

There's a hole in my boat.

Minimoys can't swim.

Comin' to get ya.

Be right there.

- SELENIA:
Arthur, please!

- I'm coming, I'm coming.

I know this river.

First there's a bend to the right,

then there's a sharp bend to the left.

Minimoys can't swim.

That would've been

helpful information to know.

See, I didn't abandon you.

Oh, great. So instead

of the two of us drowning,

now all three of us

can drown together.

No one's gonna drown, Selenia.

Surely you're not gonna let

a little river frighten you.

It's not the river

that I'm frightened of. It's that!

Arthur, have you ever thrown

a sword like that before?

It can't be much more difficult

than playing darts.

Betameche, you go first

and Selenia, you next.

Your turn, Selenia.

- Betameche, hurry up.

- I can't. I'm slipping.

Selenia!

We're safe.

Not quite! Aah!

Aah!

Come on, Arthur. Hurry up.

We haven't got all day.

I'm coming.

Give me a hand.

Arthur, you were fantastic.

GRANNY:
It's already so hard

without my husband.

I don't know how I'll survive

without Arthur.

I'm sure he's just

run away for a spell.

All of these events

have probably upset him.

- Yes.

- I don't think he'd have gotten far...

...and we're gonna do

everything we can to find him, ma'am.

- Okay.

- You can count on us.

( car starts )

What was that?

- Humans.

- Really?

Yep. Sometimes it's like that

all day long.

Oh, rats. This map's

a total washout.

How are we ever

gonna find our way now?

We use the position of the sun

to guide us when it comes up.

In the meantime,

let's look for a place to sleep.

And make sure you find something

comfy, Selenia, 'cause I ache all over.

Beta, if you complain once more,

you can go sleep under a bullmunch.

What's a bullmunch?

It's like a gamallus,

only much, much bigger.

- Beta, I'm gonna need your knife.

- Comin' right up.

Let's see now.

Where did they put that... Aah!

BETA:
Oops. Sorry.

Give that to me, Beta,

before you end up hurting somebody.

Just hang on.

I haven't had it very long.

- I just got it for my birthday.

- How old are you?

I'm 299 and a half.

I'm almost a grownup.

- How old's Selenia then?

- Almost a thousand years old.

- A thousand years old?

- She likes to act like she's older.

Her birthday's in two days.

How is this working? Got it.

Owi What's she up to?

She's making the bed.

Ahi I'm exhausted.

Good night.

Well, he certainly doesn't have

any trouble sleeping, does he?

- It's normal. He's still young.

- 300 years young. That's not bad.

Whoa!

Ah! So good.

( spitting and sputtering )

What about you?

Are you really gonna be

Ah, yes, and in two days' time,

I'm to succeed my father

and watch over the Minimoy people

untiI it shall come to pass

that my own children

reach the age of 1,000

and succeed me.

Such is the tradition.

Good night...

...Arthur.

Good night, Princess.

Arthur!

Mmm... .

( yawning )

Come on, time to get up, boys.

We got a long journey

ahead of us today.

Helloi I said get up.

Okay, this calls for

a change of tactic.

( both grunting )

Come on now, shower time.

Oh. Ah.

- That's what I call a rude awakening.

- Consider yourself lucky.

She's been waking me up like that

every morning for the last 300 years.

Mmm, these are even better

than the other ones.

Here, try some.

Tastes good.

What is it, exactly?

- Dragonfly eggs.

- Oh, gross!

SELENIA:
Hey, come

and take a look at this.

BETAMECHE:
That's awful.

I suppose seen from this angle,

it is less attractive.

Anybody have an idea

what this thing is for?

It's an irrigation system.

It transports water--

- Water. More water?

- I'm really sorry.

- I had absolutely no idea--

- Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.

You mean that you're the one

who built this monstrosity?

Yes, but I only wanted to water

the radishes. Granny loves radishes.

What? You mean you actually

eat those disgusting things?

Let's just hope your invention

doesn't fall into the hands of the EviI M.

Otherwise, I have a pretty good idea

of what he'll do with it.

Timber!

- Watch outi

- ARTHUR:
My straws.

They're stealing my straws.

As long as they're getting rid

of those things, they're doing us a favor.

Try thinking before

you talk, Betameche.

The EviI M knows only too well

that the Minimoys can't stand water,

and your friend Arthur here

just provided him

with the means to transport water.

- Where do you suppose he'll send it?

- Our village.

( gasps )

Arthur, where you going?

To repair the damage I've done.

Can't believe that guy.

Humans are really crazy.

I know it sounds crazy,

but I think Arthur is right.

They're bound to take the straws

to Necropolis, and us along with them.

You're right, that does sound crazy.

It's really nice of you

to come with me.

I'm just worried you're gonna do

something stupid if I'm not around.

Hi!

Psst! Beta, hurry up!

Ahh!

( all yelling )

SELENIA:
Here we go again.

Do you know at least

where this waterway leads to?

No, but in any case, all rivers
