Azur et Asmar (Azur and Asmar) Page #6

they'll kill you.

- Well done.

- Shut up!

Or I will kill you.

Let's go!

The sun behind you.

Go after him!

It's a secret door.

Take this, you dog.

Press on the lower--

One more word, and you shall die.

Press on what?

The jaw!

Take this.

Enough, let's go.

Come on.

You're mad.

- It could be a trap.

- I know.

Let's hope they don't find out

how to get in.

No risk of that.

All they can do

is knock with their swords

until they break.

Leave it, it's no use.

That's how it goes, Azur.

We couldn't both win.

Yes, it isn't just a scratch.

You're hurting me. There's no point.

Go now, you're nearly there.

Others are getting close.

I want you to be the one to succeed.

What are you doing?

- There's no doctor here.

- It's too late for a doctor.

The third door.

It's the only one the bats use.

- What's wrong?

- The bridge is gone.

- You can jump it.

- No, not with you.

Without me.

Put me down, Azur.

We've no choice.

Azur, don't give in.

I'm not giving in.

The heat, it's almost unbearable.

We'll have to turn back.

The Door of Fire.

We're getting close, Asmar.

We can get through.

I've got the Fiery Key.

What a stench. It's disgusting.

The Door of Gases.

Quick, the Scented Key.

What a noise! It hurts my ears.

The Door of Iron.

I don't have the key.

I don't have the keys to turn back,

nor the key to keep going.

I have it, in my left boot.

The Cutting Key.

Asmar, the Duplicate Doors.

We're there. Soon we'll have reached

the Hall of Light, Asmar.

Or the Cavern of Shadows.

We've got to choose. The right one.

- Why?

- They say left is bad.

That makes no sense.

It's like blue eyes.

I'd be surprised if one could win

the fairy with such silliness.

All right, then. The left door?

I don't know.

I think I'm going to die.

No. Hang on, Asmar.

We'll enter the Hall of Light,

with a thousand torches

reflected in its tiles as in a mirror.

Asmar the Djinn Fairy will be there,

more beautiful than any diamond.

The Cavern of Shadows.

All is lost.

You have won.

The Djinn Fairy.

You are the victorious prince

who has delivered me.

Welcome to your realm,

handsome prince.

Welcome to your realm.

Farewell, brother.

No!

It's my brother who has won.

He sacrificed himself for me.

But he's here.

It was he who found the last key

and the last passageway.

And he's dying!

Save him!

Hurry!

The Djinn Doctor.

I'm alive.

It's so beautiful.

We were lucky it was the right door.

It made no difference.

Both the doors

lead to this selfsame hall.

It was I who gave

the light djinns' orders.

I left the other princes in the dark.

They didn't interest me.

Yet you are here, Djinn Fairy.

Within reach. Beautiful.

But I'm not presentable.

The Djinn Tailor.

I'm the more handsome.

Be careful, he's wounded!

The Djinn Doctor.

- I'm the more handsome.

- No, I am.

Both of you are magnificent.

But which one saved me?

- He did.

- He did.

You've got to decide.

- It was you.

- No, it was you.

No, no, it was you.

Here we are again,

exactly like when we were boys.

There's only one person

who knew how to stop us.

- Our mother.

- But she's far away.

Saimourh!

Bring the mother of both princes.

My sons.

Good day, madame.

We have brought you to judge

which of the two princes,

your sons, saved us.

My lady fairy.

I must confess to you.

I am a simple merchant

and my sons are not princes.

We know their conduct.

They are princes,

as we understand the word.

- Tell me what happened.

- I'll tell you.

Azur kept saving my life.

I'd be dead now,

if it wasn't for Asmar's sacrifice.

Both of you are wonderful.

How could I choose between you?

My lady fairy, I can't say

which is the more deserving.

But I know a brilliantly

quick-witted person

who will not share my concerns.

We'll fetch her, then.

It's the Princess Chamsous Sabah.

One, two.

Bow.

Repeat.

With the right foot, please.

Oh, please!

Help me!

Somebody stole the princess!

It's so beautiful here.

Azur, Asmar.

You're so handsome.

Jenane, I'm so happy.

Lady fairy, I'm delighted

to see you saved.

We're going to do good work together.

- Who will you marry?

- I don't know.

We're counting on you to tell us.

I'll explain. Up in the mountains,

Asmar put himself...

I wouldn't be here if Azur

hadn't been so brave and saved me.

What do you advise, Your Highness?

It's simple.

If I were you, I'd marry them both.

- Oh, that wouldn't do.

- I don't know, in that case.

But I know someone

that knows a lot more than I do.

Welcome, Wise Man Yadoa.

We need your wisdom.

This is what happened.

Azur and Asmar

came here to set me free

and reached my palace at exactly...

Now you know everything.

Alas, Madame Fairy, that is far from true.

And in spite of all my wisdom,

I cannot offer an answer

which young man,

this one or that one, is more deserving.

But the six of us

must find the answer to our quandary.

We are too similar to each other.

I know a seventh person

who thinks differently.

You're alive.

Well, I see the whole family is here.

Good day, madame.

Good day, Master Asmar.

My respects, master.

Hello, little girl.

Crapoux,

this is Princess Chamsous Sabah.

Oh, sorry. My respects, Your Highness.

Hello, Crapoux.

The Djinn Fairy.

Fairy...

...I have dreamt of you

for so many years.

Thank you, kind sir.

But fate has decided otherwise.

So who's the lucky winner?

We're counting on you

to tell us who's won.

Easy.

Which one arrived first?

They arrived here together.

But that isn't how they should

have arranged to conclude the affair.

Nevertheless, that's what they did.

Forget that.

Well, it's a classic dilemma.

Since no one can choose

between these two suitors,

the answer, obviously,

is that you have to choose a third one.

They're both extremely pretty,

that's true.

But they're rather poor

conversationalists.

- Your humble servant, however--

- Thank you, thank you.

We must choose one of the princes

who overcame the ordeals they met with,

or the curse on me will return.

We must settle this.

My cousin, the Elf Fairy,

gives excellent advice.

Ladies and gentlemen.

I greet you, my dear cousin.

I am very happy to see you saved.

Welcome, my dear cousin.

Yes, I have been saved at last.

Tell us,

which of the two princes has won?

I heard your message

regarding your dilemma

while crossing the deep sea.

And like everyone else,

I can't solve it for you.

But there's no hurry.

Let's take the time

to enjoy each other's company

and get better acquainted.

I'm sure that our gathering will lead

to a happy outcome.

The answer is becoming obvious.

And ending as all stories should.

Let's dance.

It's easy, just follow me.

Choose your partner.

A pavane for our friends, please.

One, two, three, four.

And one, two, three, four.

One, two-- The proper foot.

One, two, three, four.

Don't look at your feet.

Hold your head up.

Not too stiff.

With elevation, but ease.

Turn.

Sir, let there be

no misunderstanding between us.
