Tintin et les oranges bleues Page #3

for me.

Well, then. . .

Eh, are you coming Professor?

Yes, yes, yes!

Of course. It's marvellous.

And that evening,

at the Hacienda Bello Horizonte. . .

It seems that Professor Calculus

has disappeared.

It seems that Professor Calculus

has disappeared.

He doesn't drink coffee?

As soon as we got up from the table,

he ran off to Professor Zalamea's

laboratory.

He seems enthralled

by your cousin's work.

He seems enthralled

by your cousin's work.

- A cigar?

- No, thank you.

The blue oranges. . .

Oh, what marvels!

Phosphorescent gammatrophism,

isn't it?

I am worried -

and sorry for your sake -

that my cousin hasn't yet returned.

Yes.

Listen! . . . But that's Snowy!

Snowy, Snowy!

Snowy has been chloroformed!

What, oh no, oh no -

a kidnapping in my own house! But. . .

Maybe they also kidnapped

Professor Zalamea. . .

Maybe they also kidnapped

Professor Zalamea. . .

Oh, I am overwhelmed with horror. . .

But yes, that must be it, there's no

other explanation for his lateness.

Quickly, we must warn all of my men.

Estensoro, call everybody.

We are organising a search.

We must tell the police.

We must tell the police.

If these spider monkeys

touch even one of the hairs that

are usually under this little hat. . .

I'll disembowel them!

I'll disembowel them!

I'll skin them alive!

And I'll hang them

from the highest cross-mast!

And I'll hang them

from the highest cross-mast!

Snowy! Snowy!

Meanwhile,

in an old abandoned church. . .

Will you stop this car?!

Where are you going?

Where are we? Hey!

Where are you going?

Where are we? Hey!

What does that mean!

Will you stop?! Stop, I say!

You ill bred men! Completely.

Will you let me go?!

I am Professor Calculus!

Will you let me go?!

I am Professor Calculus!

Let me go, let me go!

I am Professor Calculus.

Let me go, let me go!

I am Professor Calculus.

I'm telling you to let me go,

you bandits! Nasty bandits!

Now you're hurting me. Let me go now.

Quiet, quiet, old goat.

Quiet, quiet, old goat.

Get your paws off me!

Sir, here is the new prisoner.

Professor, we were obliged

to kidnap you.

You were too curious.

No harm will come to you

on the condition that you help

Professor Zalamea with his work.

His research must be concluded

as soon as possible.

His research must be concluded

as soon as possible.

As soon as it is finished,

As soon as it is finished,

we will set you free

and compensate you generously.

Be careful, though.

Be careful, though.

If you do not wish to cooperate,

we can also be extremely nasty.

No no. . . but I'm telling you. . .

I am Professor Calculus!

I am Professor Cuthbert Calculus!

Ah, don't push me, don't push me,

do you understand?!

Go, down there, go.

Go, down there, go.

Professor Zalamea,

you have a visitor.

Oh! Professor Calculus, I believe.

I am Professor Zalamea.

I am Professor Zalamea.

You are. . .you are Professor Zalamea?

You are. . .you are Professor Zalamea?

Yes.

Oh! I am Professor Calculus!

Oh, it's a great pleasure for me,

sir. . .

Oh, it's a great pleasure for me,

sir. . .

Oh, it's a great honour for me,

Professor. . .

What is it?

What is it?

Let me introduce the Big Boss.

The Big Boss?

The Big Boss. . .

The Big Boss. . .

He's the representative

of a powerful group

that wants exclusive rights

to my discoveries.

Between us, my dear,

I'm leading them a merry dance,

and to buy time. . .

I'm doing a bit of tinkering. . .

But that has nothing to do

with the blue oranges.

Oh, the blue oranges!

Oh, the blue oranges!

I sent you the first one,

and they stole it from you.

The five others have grown

since I was kidnapped.

Because this new species of orange,

treated with my special process,

Because this new species of orange,

treated with my special process,

reaches full maturity in five days.

- Five days!

- Five days!

- But that's marvellous!

- Yes.

- But that's marvellous!

- Yes.

Sabotage.

The important thing

is to submit the seeds to the

appropriate neutron bombardment.

is to submit the seeds to the

appropriate neutron bombardment.

And it's very simple.

I'll explain it to you. . .

But it's just as I thought,

Professor.

The neutron bombardment leads

then to a mutation of the species. . .

The neutron bombardment leads

then to a mutation of the species. . .

Yes.

. . .and the orange becomes blue,

and what's more, phosphorescent,

. . .and the orange becomes blue,

and what's more, phosphorescent,

with a prodigious growth rate!

Yes.

Yes.

An annoying detail, however,

which I didn't mention, Professor,

is that the blue orange in its

current state is not yet edible -

it has a bitter taste

and is horribly salty. . .

Here, would you like to. . .?

Oh, thank you. . .

Oh, thank you. . .

Ah, yes, clearly, very bitter. . .

Professor Zalamea,

you are engaged in sabotage!

You are interfering with the

audibility of your conversations -

it's unacceptable!

it's unacceptable!

If, in 48 hours time, I do not have

proof that your work is progressing,

I will make you cry like babies!

Oh, I have an idea. . .

Oh, I have an idea. . .

Confiscated!

Confiscated!

Don't worry, Professor.

To regain our freedom,

we still have this.

To regain our freedom,

we still have this.

No, no. I have no comments

for the press. No, no.

Do you have any clues?

Any leads you can give us?

Say something, sir! Anything!

Oh, no. . . No. . . That's enough!

We're done!

Oh, no. . . No. . . That's enough!

We're done!

Captain, not a word

about the blue orange. . .

Captain, not a word

about the blue orange. . .

Come now, my dear Tintin,

who do you take me for?!

- I know how to hold my tongue. . .

- Yes.

There's manners for you!

There's manners for you!

I'm going to cut your ears

into points!

As long as my investigation

continues, gentlemen,

As long as my investigation

continues, gentlemen,

I have to ask you

not to leave the hacienda.

But we are guests here, and we

were only supposed to stay for a day.

I beg you, this house is yours.

Stay as long as you please.

I beg you, this house is yours.

Stay as long as you please.

Thank you very much, Don Lopez.

Yes, yes, it won't be long anyway.

With me and Tintin here,

the mystery of the blue oranges

will soon be cleared up. . . Ooooh!

the mystery of the blue oranges

will soon be cleared up. . . Ooooh!

The mystery of the blue oranges?

The captain means the oranges that

grow beneath the blue Valencian sky.

- Yes. . .

- The captain is a poet.

A poet?

A poet?

Yes, a poet. . .

The blue sky, the blue oranges,

the Andalusian sun. . .

the Andalusian sun. . .

Huh? What? Species of vermicelli!

Ectoplasm!

Ectoplasm!

Gherkin!

Water-lily!

Confounded cataplasm!

Confounded cataplasm!

Right now, I must leave.

I will return tomorrow.

You can leave now.

You can leave now.

Put the crate here, and go and play.

Put the crate here, and go.

No.

Put the crate here, and go.

Go and play, now.
