Arthur et les Minimoys (Arthur And The Minimoys) Page #8

---

Tell her that I'm sorry.

Come on, Grandpa.

You can do it.

Arthur, it would take nothing

short of a miracle to save us now.

Your Highness, a few tidbits.

Mmm, delicious.

Bring me more.

Yes, master.

There must be a solution.

There's always a solution.

The only solution

is to pray, my children.

Pray for a miracle.

A miracle.

A miracle? Where?

Right here, Grandpa.

You're sitting on it. Look.

Come and give me a hand.

Come on. Push!

( all grunting )

What is this... thirhg?

It's a car; it's a Ferrari 250 GTO,

- It's a birthday present.

- You know how to drive that thing?

Of course I do. If the young lady

would care to step this way.

Bingo.

- Hurry, Arthur.

- If we wanna make it the whole way,

we have to wind it up

as far as it will go.

- Arthur, the water's coming.

- Arthur, please.

Got it. This is the first time

I've ever taken a girl out for a drive.

Let's just hope it won't be the last.

Step on it.

BOTH:
Faster!

I just hope there aren't any speed

cameras down here or we've had it.

Hey, go to the left.

I'd appreciate a little more warning

next time if that's okay with you.

Okay. Turn right.

- Which way do I go now, left or right?

- Down.

Selenia, I don't feel so good.

Just hang in there.

The road is smoother now.

Our countdown to victory

has begun.

Shall we prepare your fancy cape?

Oh, the stress is unbearable.

They have untiI noon, my king.

Only five minutes left

and still no news.

Have faith in them, my good king.

I'm sure they will succeed.

May the gods hear you, Miro,

may the gods hear you!

Look, there's the gate.

Yeah.

- We made it!

- Yes!

Arthur, you're not gonna

break down on us now.

Sorry. I guess we're gonna

have to get out and rurh!

What? What is that

rumbling noise?

I have no idea, sir, but I have

a terrible foreboding.

Father, it's me, Selenia!

My daughter! They've returned.

Open the gate!

Yes, yes.

Open the gate now!

- Close the gate immediately.

- Open it, close it. Make up your mind.

All together now!

You did it, Daddy, you did it.

You are now the uncontested master

of all the kingdoms.

Heaven knows I don't care

about titles and honors,

but I must admit that

it does feel good

to be supreme ruler!

Let us prepare ourselves.

The gate looks as if it will hold.

- Not for long.

- Oh, my children!

Papa!

We missed you, Papa.

Oh, my children, you're this old king's

most prized possessions.

SELENIA:
Oh, Papa,

I missed you, too.

( knocking at door )

It's noon...

...in one minute.

Hurry up now.

You only have one minute.

We can only hold the water back

for about an hour,

but I know that I can

depend on you.

After all, you're one of us now,

and I hope you know that

you're always welcome back here.

And a second turn of the wheel

for the spirit.

Our lives are in your hands, my friend.

We're counting on you

and your grandson.

Don't worry. Arthur has a plan,

and I'm sure it's gonna work.

It's gonna be pretty dull

around here without you.

Come back soon, huh?

At the tenth moon.

That's a promise.

And a third turn of the wheel

for the soul!

Whoa! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Whoa!

See you...

...in ten moons!

Huh?

Grandpa!

- Huh?

- You okay?

My brothers!

Oh! I'm so glad to see you again!

Look at you! Ha ha ha!

Grandpa! We've got no time left!

We've gotta go!

You're right.

Noon on the dot, and no one in sight.

I'm afraid, though it is

a beautiful Sunday,

despite it being the day of our Lord,

there seems to be no miracle.

So...

You're right, Davido.

It is a beautiful, beautiful Sunday.

I believe we have some papers to sign.

Am I right?

Let's go in the living room.

We'll be more comfortable.

While I try to buy time,

you get busy finding the treasure.

Mino!

Mino, where are you?

Mino!

This is not gonna be easy.

Okay...

Light!

( whimpering )

( cheering; rhythmic chanting )

I promised you riches and power,

and Maltazard always

keeps his promises.

Nothing can stop us now.

The Seven Kingdoms are mine.

- Someone's on a power trip.

- So now he did it by himself?

I mean, of course, ours.

( cheering )

What?

Excuse me. Could you tell me

what time it is?

I'm kind of far-sighted.

- Uh, noon.

- Oh. Thank you.

My fearless and faithful warriors,

let the festivities begin.

( cheering )

Opposite angle, 45 degrees,

target to rubies.

Arthur, I hope you're watching.

Mino, you're the best!

( whooshing sound; warriors gasp )

What the--what is he doing?

Darkos, that idiot

will give our position away.

- Make him cut that beam immediately.

- Cut the beam!

Huh? Oh, sorry.

Because I'm far-sighted--

but I'm also hard of hearing.

You fool! You will be sorry

that you defied Maltazard!

Aaah!

( applause )

Oh, it's nothing, really.

Bring him here.

You won't like me

when I g-g-get angry.

Ha ha! Sure you can! Show us.

( loud rumbling )

Check it out, guys.

Cool moon. It's gettin' bigger--aaah!

What is this thirhg?

Sir, we're forming a committee

to discuss possible solutions--

Huh?

( whimpering )

( gasps )

That's... water!

- Daddy, they've blocked the pipe.

- Ohh!

Father, shall I get you a towel?

W-w-what about me, Father?

As for you, my son, I hereby

solemnly appoint you

Commander of the lmperial Forces.

Oh, thank you, Father,

that's kind of you.

But what about a desk job?

I'm very good with numbers.

A commander never deserts his post.

Mino...

come out,

Yes!

More coffee?

No! No more coffee. Tharhk you.

But what I would love is

for you to sign the paper.

Of course.

What did I do with my pen?

Oh, what a lovely pen.

We have wasted

enough time. Sign!

Of course.

And now...

...the money.

Huh? Oh, the morhey.

I'd like to see how you're gonna

pull one of your tricks now.

Here.

Bravo, my boy!

So, then...

Good accounts make for

good friends, isn't that right?

There you are.

Paid in full.

Sir, I must now be saying good-bye.

- Good-bye, now.

- Good-bye.

( all laughing )

Congratulations.

( siren wailing )

( whispering ) Don't worry, Mino.

I'm gonna take care of you.

Mm-hmm.

They did it!

Yesi They did it!

- Yay! They did it!

- My son!

My boy...

Oh, I would love my little Mino

to see this.

I understand, Miro,

but our people are safe and sound,

and that is something

to be thankful for.

Of course, of course.

( loud rumbling, all gasp )

Wait. L--I think I know what it is.

Ow!

Hey! It's Mino!

- Mino! My son!

- Papa!

Oh, my boy.

Thank the gods you've returned safely.

Well, there you go.

All's well that ends well.

Not quite.

May I?

( door opens )

How do I look?

You look wonderful.

As usual.

I'm so sorry I was gone for so long,

but I thought I could solve our money

problems and come right back.

Well, I hope you enjoyed

your solitude,

because I'm not letting you

out of my sight ever again.

( indistinct chatter )

I propose a toast.

NARRATOR:
The Bogo Matassalai

had orhce told Arthur

that the heart is

the strorhgest weaporh of all.

- My favorite dish.

- Where's Arthur?
