Thumbelina Page #2

Mama, I love her.

Oh, Thumbelina.

Oh, wow. Something....

I don't know....

Something happened to me tonight.

Something I never wanna forget.

Me too.

Do not forget me.

Forget-me-nots.

I'll never forget you. Never.

Never, never.

- Cornelius.

Oh, Mother.

What--? Mother!

- Cornelius, come now.

- Who are those people?

It's no time to explain. That's the

queen of the fairies, my mother.

Your mother?

Yeah. Look, I must go now, but....

Can I see you tomorrow?

Your mother?

Then you're the....

You are the....

Tomorrow?

Yes, tomorrow.

Yes, I'm the prince.

The prince?

Yeah. Will you meet my parents?

Cornelius!

Say you will.

I....

I will.

You will?

I will.

I will, Prince Cornelius, yes.

- Cornelius.

- Cornelius.

I've gotta go.

Will they like me?

Get down.

Yes, they'll love you.

But let me talk to them first.

Tonight.

And then I'll be back for you

in the morning.

Then you can meet my mother.

Well, great.

But, well, wait here.

And then...

...we'll live happily ever after.

Oh, much longer.

Cornelius.

Ooh! Goodbye.

You won't forget to come back,

will you?

I promise.

Whoa!

Oh, Cornelius.

Hmm.

Gotcha!

What?!

Hey! Help!

Help, Hero! Let me out of here.

Oh, oh! Hero, help. Help me!

A dog!

Get away from me.

Thumbelina. Oh....

Thumbelina. Thumbelina. Oops.

Got it.

Thumbelina, it's me.

Where are you?

Where is she?

What? What happened?

She was stolen away?

Out the window?

Who did it?

A toad?

Good dog.

I'll find her.

No, Hero. You stay here

and take care of Thumbelina's mother.

Let her know

everything will be all right.

I hope you sleep very, very good.

Huh? Who are you?

We are the very happy

Family Singers de Espaa.

Mozo, Gringo and Grundel.

We are very rich and famous.

Rich and famous?

I bring you here to become

famous singer like me.

Goodbye. My mother will

be very worried.

Mama no worry. Mama proud.

When you are a star,

she make big fiesta...

...and invite all the neighbors to see her

little nia who have become very big.

Big?

You mean big?

I mean important.

And loved by everyone.

But Cornelius

loves me already.

I think I'm gonna marry him.

Marry him?

That will be a very big mistake.

It'll get in the way of your career in show

business, doing those things domsticos.

What things?

The scrubbings and the washings

And the noses with the drippings

And the sopas always boiling

The panes of windows falling

With the diapers changing

With the roof, she's leaking

And the enchiladas spoiling

Ooh.

Do you know how to do these things

Like you will have to do these things?

Or does the very thought of it

Make you wince?

Ugh.

I thought so

Then don't marry the prince

Oh, dear....

You see?

You become big star, like me.

We make big moneys together.

You make Mama rich.

You're important person.

You are famous. You are a star!

A star? Well, I suppose.

Now, repeat after me.

We are the Singers de Espaa

The original cast

And there hasn't been a town

We haven't played

We are the Singers de Espaa

And we sing very fast

We get on

We get off

We get paid

Could you say that a little slower?

Slower? We don't do ballads.

Maybe I can take notes.

We are free and independent

We go everywhere

We gotcha-gotcha goochee all the way

We gonna teach you how to samba

And to rumba y La Bamba

Every number, Thumbelina, say, "ol"!

Come on the road

My little castanet

Come on the road

And famous you will get

I'll make you star

Get you small guitar

You'll be hot muchacha

Once I gotcha on the road

Thumbelinacita

No one could be sweeter

Sing with mamacita

We go on the road

Now we sing

We open Monday in Medina

Then we do Babylon

Then we hop to Barcelona for a week

Then for a month in Athens

At the Parthenon

Where they love us

'Cause we do the show in Greek

We are the finest in the business

It's a well-known fact

And you'll forgive us

If we have to blow the horn

Because this isn't any ordinary animal act

And today a star is born

Go on the road

You'll hear the peoples roar

You're not a toad

But that's what makeup's for

Just sing on pitch

We'll get very rich

Wait until they see the Thumbelina

On the road

Singing Thumbelina

Dancing Thumbelina

Something Thumbelina

Now I make her sing

You got it.

Come on the road

We make you big success

Come on the road

You're in the union, yes?

The life, she's sweet

Lots of flies to eat

Yum-yum.

So why be a little fish in little pond

When you can go so far beyond?

I think perhaps we make you blond

When we get on the road

On the road

Let's hit the road, ol!

Mama,

you give her to me...

...I marry her.

Very well. You can marry la nia.

We can keep the money she earns

in the family.

Thank you, Mrs. Toad. Thank you.

They really like me.

Am I a star?

Yes, and you can call me Mama.

Mama?

You're going to marry my son Grundel.

I'm what?

I love Thumbelina.

We'll be right back with the Padre.

Oh, no, no.

I love Cornelius.

Today, you marry my son.

Oh, no. No, no.

No, I'm not marrying--

Come back here!

Wait a second.

Where are you going?

Doesn't anybody care what I think?

Help!

Whoa! Help?

Who is saying "help"?

- Mr. Bird, over here.

Oh! Little one,

are you having a bad day?

I was sleeping on the windowsill,

waiting for Prince Cornelius to come.

He said he'd come

because he loves me and--

He loves you?

Yes.

Congratulations!

Thanks. But, well....

But I was stolen away

by Mrs. Toad...

...who says I have to marry her son.

A toad? That is a very bad day,

Mademoiselle...?

Thumbelina.

Thumbelina, I am Jacquimo.

How can I be of service to you?

Well, I must get off this lily pad...

...but that's impossible.

Ha-ha-ha!

Nothing is impossible.

Voil!

Oh, my. Well, that was easy.

Now if I can just reach the shore

before those awful toads come back.

Do you mean if you can reach the shore

before you go over the waterfall?

What waterfall?

That one!

Is it bad?

I am slipping!

Don't let go!

Can you swim?

No, I can't swim. I can't even float.

Help! Help, please!

Somebody help!

Help! Somebody help!

- Help!

Jitterbugs, help!

Pull, mes amis, pull!

That is it. Higher, higher.

What is it?

Yeah. Who is it?

Look, Mama, she's waking up.

Are you feeling better, little one?

Yes, I think so.

Who are you?

Thumbelina,

these are the jitterbugs.

The jitterbugs?

How do you do?

Are you really gonna marry

the fairy prince?

If he asks me.

He will call for me at my house.

That's why I wanna go home.

Besides, mother will be terribly worried.

If only I could find my way home.

We'll help you, Thumbelina.

Nobody will hurt you.

Not with us on the job, right?

Right.

You are all very brave. Thank you.

But I'm afraid I'll never see

my home again.

Oh. Do you love the prince?

Yes.

Then follow your heart.

It will lead you home.

Now, where does the prince live?

He lives in the Vale of the Fairies.

But I don't know where that is either.

Do not worry. I, Jacquimo, will

find it and bring him home to you.
