Bedtime, Lucy! > | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
OK, Mum. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Hello! | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
-Mmm? -Who...? -What...? -Can we help you? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
Good evening, sir. I'm the Story Inspector. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
-I've come to inspect your stories. -Stories? We have wonderful stories! | 0:01:46 | 0:01:53 | |
They're very funny! And quite dramatic. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
But they never, ever go on beyond bedtime. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
-Haven't I seen you somewhere before? -N-No. No, I don't think so. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:07 | |
Now, I'd like to hear... I mean INSPECT a story, please. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
We'd love to tell you a story, but we can't. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
-Why not? -We have to wait till our friend Lucy arrives. -Oh, I see. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:23 | |
-But maybe this once we can make an exception. -Oh, thank you, Nelson! | 0:02:24 | 0:02:30 | |
-I've got a story about an important visitor, just like you. -Do begin. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:37 | |
Each morning, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
the animals in Africa met by the baobab tree to hear the latest news. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
Good morning. I'm William the weaver bird with the Savannah News. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:49 | |
The weather - | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
the sun will be hot, the sand will be dry and the water will be wet! | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
Here is a news flash - | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
because the leaves have fallen early this year | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
Cleopatra will visit the water hole today. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
Who's Cleopatra? She must be really important. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
Ahem! Well, that's all for now. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
This was William the weaver bird on the Savannah News. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:19 | |
Hey, Esmerelda, stop it! That tickles! | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
Have you heard? Cleopatra's coming today. She's really important. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:32 | |
Oh, dear! I've got so much dusting to do. Better get started. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
Hi, Esmerelda. How's things? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
Can't stop, Audrey. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
Herbert's just told me Cleopatra's coming. I must tidy the savannah. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
-She's really very famous. -Famous?! I'd better prepare some food, then! | 0:03:50 | 0:03:56 | |
BOTH: Did someone say "food"? Yes - for Cleopatra. She's a star! | 0:03:56 | 0:04:02 | |
-We'll need a spread - watermelon, mogo chips... -And bumbleberries. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
-There's a bush over by the jungle. -Raargh! | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
-RAARGH! -Ooh! -Oo-er! -Aagh! | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
Will someone PLEASE tell me what all the fuss is about?! | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
We're expecting a visitor! | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
She's really famous so we're putting on a welcoming party and everything! | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
-Yes! For Cleopatra! -Cleopatra? LADY Cleopatra? | 0:04:28 | 0:04:34 | |
With a name like that, she must be a lioness. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
Everyone knows that lions have royal blood. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
Why, our visitor must be Cleopatra, the Queen of the Far Faraway Hills! | 0:04:42 | 0:04:49 | |
-Better do lots of mogo chips, then. -I'm taking charge immediately. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
Right! Line up, everyone! | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
I want a nice, tidy savannah. Try to do something about these leaves | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
and everyone must be on their best behaviour. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
'So all the animals got ready | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
'for the arrival of Cleopatra, Queen of the Far Faraway Hills.' | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
Pick only the biggest and juiciest! | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
Hurry up! There's no time to lose! Everything must be perfect! | 0:05:22 | 0:05:27 | |
# Welcome, Cleopatra! | 0:05:29 | 0:05:35 | |
# Welcome, Cleopatra-a-a-a! # | 0:05:35 | 0:05:41 | |
Well done, everyone! Good team work. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
Herbert, the red carpet, please! | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
Thank you. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-Well, what now, Reggie? -Now, we wait for Her Royal Highness to arrive. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:06 | |
'The animals waited and waited.' | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
LOW RUMBLING | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
Sorry. I didn't have much breakfast. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
Ugh! | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
Why not try a bumbleberry? They're very juicy. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:25 | |
-Well, I...I don't know... -Go on. There's plenty. Reggie won't notice. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:31 | |
'The bumbleberries were deliciously juicy. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
'They ate far too many of them.' | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
Nelson! Georgina! What are you doing? | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
-Hic! -Hic! -We have an important visitor... | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
-Hic! -Hic! -..And you get hiccups! -Hi, there! > | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
Can I help? Only we're expecting the Queen of the Far Faraway Hills. | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
I'm Cleopatra. I'm doing the leaves. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
But...you're not a lioness. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
Course not! I'm a porcupine, silly! | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
You must be Reggie the lion. How's it going? | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
-But I... But... But... -Reggie, the speech. -What? Oh, yes, of course. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:21 | |
-We, the animals of the savannah... -Hic! | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-..Are here to mark... -Hic! -Hic! | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
..A very special occasion. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
We are here to welcome Cleopatra, | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
the...porcupine, as our honoured guest. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:40 | |
We have prepared a humble banquet | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
-of the finest...food. -Hic! | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
Now I, Reginald the lion, would like to ask Georgina the giraffe | 0:07:46 | 0:07:52 | |
to perform the anthem of welcome. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
# Welcome - hic! - Cleopatra! | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
# Welcome - HIC! - Cleopatra-a-a! # | 0:08:03 | 0:08:09 | |
Hic! | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
Hic! Hic! | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
Hic! Hic! Hic! Hic! Hic! | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
-What's he doing? -He's... | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
-He's... -He's dancing, look... -Hic! -Hic! -Hic! | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
-Hic! -Hic! -Hic! -Hic! -Hic! -Hic! -Hic! -Hic! -Hic! -Hic! -Hic! -Hic! | 0:08:24 | 0:08:31 | |
Oh, how embarrassing. It's all gone wrong! I'm so sorry, ma'am. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:40 | |
The food...the music... It's... It's... It's... | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-Brilliant! -I beg your pardon? | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
Brilliant! The speech was very funny! | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
And I enjoyed the elephant's dance! | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
-Let's all do it, when I've swept up the leaves. -Swept up the leaves? | 0:08:53 | 0:08:59 | |
That's my job - a savannah sweeper. I always come at this time of year. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:04 | |
You can stop calling me Cleopatra. All my friends call me Patsy! | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
THE ANIMALS CHEER | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
Right...what about this party, then? | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
THEY HICCUP AND LAUGH | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
Excuse me, Reginald. Could I have the next dance? | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
It would be a pleasure, Cleo...uh, Patsy. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
-# Welcome - hic! -Hic! -Hic! Hic! | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
-# ..Cleopatra! Hic! -Hic! -Hic! -Hic! | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
-# ..Welcome - hic! -Hic! -Hic! Hic! | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
# ..Cleopatra-a-a-a! # | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
-Hic! -Hic! | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
'Everyone enjoyed it and looked forward to Patsy's next visit.' | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
-That was a lovely story, Molly! -Thank you, Inspector. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:08 | |
I give it ten out of ten! Nelson, I'll inspect a story from you now. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:13 | |
I give your disguise ten out of ten, Lucy, | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
but I'm afraid it's bedtime now. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
BOTH: You didn't fool us for a minute! | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
I thought if I was an important visitor, I might get an extra story. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
You are our most important visitor, Lucy. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
-Sweet dreams, everyone. -ALL: Goodnight, Lucy! | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
