Quotes 

• Zephir : What's so special about today?

  Young Babar : It's Coronation Day. One year ago, I was crowned King of Celesteville.

  Zephir : Hey, that's good.

  Young Babar : It's also Palace Progress Report Day; A public opinion survey that rates the King's performance of the past year.

  Zephir : Sort of like a Royal report card, huh?

  [Babar nods] 

  Zephir : Gee, what happens to a King who gets an F?

  Young Babar : *Nothing* compared to what happens to a King who loses his own crown!

  Zephir : Never fear; Zephir is here!

  [turns Beret into Deerstalker] 

  Zephir : It just so happens I graduated from the Sheerluck Holmes school of Super-Sleuthing.

  [presents Diploma] 

  Zephir : Note the genuine diploma and personally autographed spyglass!

  Young Babar : [Sees writing on handle]  Zaphir; This is *your* signature!

  Zephir : I know; I personally autographed it!

• Zephir : [after bump into the suspected thief]  Hey, it's the trenchcoat guy! Grab 'im!

  Zephir : Watch it, Babar!

  [knife drops] 

  Zephir : He's got a knife!

  Zephir : And a Fork!

  [teaspoons fall out of pocket] 

  Zephir : And some teaspoons!

  [the figure falls] 

  Zephir : Hit the deck!

  [knocks Babar to the floor] 

  Young Babar : What are you doing?

  [the figure is revealed to be Celeste and Arthur] 

  Young Celeste : I told you this disguise wouldn't work!

  Young Babar : You *too*, Celeste?

  Young Celeste : I'm sorry, Babar.

  Arthur : We didn't want it to happen this way!

  [both run] 

  Young Babar : Two of my best friends; Am I dreaming?

  Zephir : I sure hope so; This is getting *too* strange!
