#And go so soon

Good-bye #

#You followed me

I followed you #

#We were like each other's

shadows for a while #

#Now as you see

this game is through #

Wh-What did he mean,

an engagement at Buckingham Palace?

Haven't you figured it out yet, Doctor?

- The queen's in danger,

and the empire's doomed. - The queen?

Psst. Over here.

Come over here.

Hmm? Come in.

Uh, begging

Your Majesty's pardon.

A present has just arrived

in honor of your jubilee.

A present?

Oh, how wonderful.

I just adore jubilees.

Here you are,

sweetheart.

Have you been

with us long?

"To our beloved queen.

"This gift we send...

as her 60-year reign...

comes to an end"?

How extraordinary!

Goodness gracious!

Amazing likeness,

isn't it,

Your Majesty?

Professor Ratigan!

Guards, seize this

despicable creature!

- " Guards, seize this...

...despicable creature."

How dare you?

Take her away.

Let go of me, you ruffians!

- Move along, honey.

- You fiends!

Traitors!

# It's through

so although it hurts #

# I'll try to smile #

#As I say good-bye

so soon #

Basil?

Basil?

Oh, how could I

have been so blind?

We all make mistakes.

But we can't let that stop us.

- We have to...

- Ratigan's proved he's more clever than I.

He would never have walked

into such an obvious trap.

- Oh, pull yourself together! You can stop that

villain! - # So long, so long, so long #

- # So long, so long, so long #

- Basil! The record! - Huh?

Oh, it's finally happened!

I've been outwitted!

- Oh, Basil, please.

- Beaten. Duped. Made a fool of.

- Oh, ridiculed, belittled...

- That's enough!

Dash it all, Basil! The queen's

in danger. Olivia's counting on us.

We're about to be "splatted," and all you can

do is lie there feeling sorry for yourself.

I know you can save us,

but if you've given up, then why don't we

just set it off now and be done with it?

#We know by now

that time knows how to fly #

"Set it off now."

"Set it off now"?

Ye... Yeah.

Yes. We... We'll set

the trap off now!

Basil, wait! I didn't mean

that we ought to...

Angle of the trajectory multiplied by the

square root of an isosceles triangle...

Dividing Guttermeg's principle...

of opposing forces in motion...

and adjusting for the difference

in equilibrium...

Dawson, at the exact moment I tell you,

we must release the triggering mechanism.

- Wha...

- Get ready, Dawson.

Steady.

Now!

Thank you, Dawson.

Smile, everyone.

On this most august occasion,

we are gathered here not only

to commemorate...

my 60 years as queen,

but to honor one...

- of truly noble stature.

- ...of truly noble stature.

I present to you

a statesman among mice,

- a gifted leader,

- a gifted leader,

a crusader for justice...

Over here, fatty.

You're a ton, toots.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Time for mouse chow.

A majestic mountain

of humility...

and my new royal consort,

Professor Ratigan!

Toby!

The game's afoot, Toby.

Our queen is in mortal danger.

To Buckingham Palace!

Thank you, Your Majesty.

And now, as your new royal consort,

I have a few, uh,

slight suggestions.

Item one.

Stop it!

Nuts! Open wide!

Bye-bye!

Down, down, kitty! Down!

Item 96.

A heavy tax shall be levied against

all parasites and spongers,

such as the elderly,

the infirm...

and especially...

little children.

That's ridiculous!

You're insane!

Perhaps I haven't

made myself clear.

I have the power.

- Of course you do.

- I am supreme!

- Only you.

- This is my kingdom!

That is, of course,

with Your Highness' permission.

Most assuredly.

- You insidious fiend.

- What?

You're not

my royal consort!

- What a sense of humor!

- You're a cheap fraud, an impostor.

- Flaversham? - A corrupt, vicious,

demented, low-life scoundrel.

There's no evil scheme

you wouldn't concoct.

No depravity

you wouldn't commit.

- You, Professor...

...are none other than...

a foul stenchus rodentus,

commonly known as a...

- Don't say it!

- Sewer rat!

Arrest that fiend!

The girl! The girl!

Stay where you are

or the girl dies!

Hurry, Dawson!

There he goes!

Dawson, Flaversham,

gather up those balloons!

Just wait!

Basil's smarter than you.

He's going to put you in jail.

He's not afraid of a big,

old ugly rat like you.

Would you kindly

sit down and shut up!

Let her go, chaps!

We have to lighten load.

Oh, you want

to lighten the load!

- Excellent idea.

- No! Not me! I can't fly!

I can't fly!

Steady!

Basil, look out!

Closer, Dawson!

Closer!

Daddy, I can't reach!

I can't reach!

Basil! Over here!

There's no escape this time, Basil.

I won!

On the contrary.

The game's not over yet.

- Hooray! Good fellow!

- Hooray! It's Basil!

Jolly good! Ha!

To be thanked by the queen herself.

Oh, how very thrilling,

eh, Basil?

All in a day's work, Doctor.

Oh, Dr. Dawson, you were wonderful.

Ohh.

Indeed.

Oh, my, we're late to catch our train.

Come along, Olivia.

Yes, Father.

Good-bye, Basil.

l... I'll never forget you.

Nor I you,

Miss... Miss Flangerhanger.

Whatever.

- Good-bye, Dr. Dawson.

- Good-bye, my dear.

Good-bye.

Well, um...

not a bad little girl, actually.

Not at all.

Well, it's time

I was on my way too.

But, uh...

But I thought...

Well, the case is over

and, mm, perhaps it's...

Well, perhaps it's best I

found my own living quarters.

But... Ohh... Now who can that be?

l... Is this the home of the famous Basil

of Baker Street?

Indeed it is, miss. You look

as if you're in some trouble.

Oh, ooh, ooh, I am.

I am.

Then you've come to

precisely the right place.

Ah, allow me to introduce

my trusted associate,

Dr. Dawson, with whom

I do all my cases.

Isn't that right, Doctor?

What? What?

Oh, yes. Yes, by all means.

Mm, as you can see, Dawson,

this young lady has just arrived

from the Hampstead district...

and is troubled about the mysterious

disappearance of an emerald ring...

missing from the third finger

of her right hand.

Now, tell me the story,

and, pray, be precise.

From that time on,

Basil and I were a close team.

And over the years,

we had many cases together.

But I shall always

look back on that first...

with the most fondness:

my introduction

to Basil of Baker Street,

the Great Mouse Detective.
