Jake:
c'mon, 'bu!

Blimps awaaaaay!

[Plane engine roars]

[Plane engine roars]

[Door slams shut]

Run ahead to the courtyard,
jake.

I need to check something.

Sure thing, 'bu!

[Objects clatter]

Tersh:
[gasp] prince badou!

What are you doing here?

I'm not doing anything wrong!
Really!

I didn't say you were,
tersh.

What is this place?

It's my hidden playroom.

I was in the hall one day

And my ball hit the switch
by accident.

Ooh!
Watch were you step!

Watch your step!

Watch this!
It's neat.

[Whirring]
huh?

tersh:
that's the squish-and-squasher.

It mashes up all
the palace garbage

Into little,
little blocks.

You know, tersh,
it isn't very safe here.

That's okay.
I'm careful.

You know what...

i know where there's
a better place to play.

[Plane engine roars]

Munroe:
fly as far as you want,

But you won't escape me,
blimp pilot!

Jake:
"har" yourself,
sky pirate!

Blimps awaaaaayy!

Tersh:
wow!

Badou:
hey, guys!

Badou... This place
is fang-tastic!

Munroe:
badou, how could you
bring a croc

Into our hidden
courtyard?

Jake:
yeah, 'bu!

what if he tells
someone about it?

Tersh won't say anything.

He found another hidden room
in the palace

and never told anyone
about it!

Oh.
Good enough for me!

C'mon, tersh.

We're playing blimps
and buccaneers.

Tersh:
[chuckles]

Munroe:
hold it!!
This isn't right, 'bu!

You should have talked
to us first!

You're right.
I'm sorry.

I should have asked.

But, munroe,
I trust tersh.

Well, I don't!

If he stays,
I'm going.

We'll get him to take
our special pledge.

Tersh, this place
is just for kids.

Only we know about it-

Forget it!
I'm outta here!

Badou, I don't wanna
cause any problems.

Jake:
aw, he'll be back
when he cools down...

Right, badou?

Sure. Now...
Um, let's play!

Control tower
to blimp pilots!

Come about for landing!

[Laughing]

[Clunks open]

[Plane engine roaring
sounds]

Tersh:
thanks for the best day ever!

[Plane engine roars]

And for showing me...
You know.

Maybe you should only visit
the courtyard with me,

Until munroe gets used
to having you around.

Okay!
Thanks again!

Blimps awaaaaay!

Tersh:
courtyard control tower,

This is blimp pilot, tersh,

Heading for hidden tunnel
ba-ayyyyyse!

Oof! Aghhhh!

Sorry, uncle!
I was just...

Uh, playing some dumb game.
See ya!

Yeah,
playing a baby game!

Indeed!

Courtyard control!

Hidden tunnel base!

Muck and mire!

Hidden tunnel base?
Could it be?

Could what be, uncle?

Crocodylus:
could tersh have discovered
the palace's secret passageway?

Rumour has it,

It leads directly to
the king's treasure chamber!

Treasure?
Let's ask him!

Hey, ter- urrrrrk!

Nephewcompoop!

If tersh knows
we know about the tunnel,

He'll blab.

And everyone will know
we know!

Then how do we
find it?

[Sneaky chuckle]

If tersh did it,
so can we...

munroe:
[kung-fu sounds]

Jake:
hey, munroe!
I'm going back to...

You know where.
Wanna come?

Nope.
Not if you know who

Is going to be there.

Hi-ya-ya-ya!

Hi-ya!

[Grunting]

[Gasp]

[Sneaky chuckles]

[Grunting]

What are you doing,
uncle?

Every hidden tunnel
has a secret panel

And every secret panel,

Has a special switch
to open it!

I knew tersh would talk!

Oof! [Gasp]

Dilash:
too bad tersh can't just show us
where the tunnel is.

Crocodylus:
hmm... [Gasps]

Maybe he can...

Without knowing it!
[Chuckles]

Tersh:
hi, badou!
Hi, your majesty.

Good morning, tersh.

Great day for gardening,
isn't it?

Uh, yes, sir.
Say, badou,

Do you want to play in...
Um...

You know, like yesterday?

Go have fun with
your friends, badou.

You've helped enough.

Thanks, papi!

[Plane engine roars]

Oof!

Agggghhh!

Where's badou?

I just saw the crocs
looking for a hidden tunnel!

Tersh must have squealed
big-time!

You sure?
We better find badou.

dilash:
they went into
this storage room!

crocodylus:
ssshhhh!

[Gasps]

Oof!
Munroe: hey!

Badou: ambassador...
Crocodylus: agh!

What are you doing
down here?

Crocodylus:
well, i... Ah... Er...

I'm looking for a book!

"The story of babar."

I thought I'd um...

Brush up
on my elephant history.

[Whistles]

[Knocks]

[Gasps]

You shouldn't be down here!

Your suit's getting dusty!

Hmm...
Oh, rats.

[Gasps]
what was that?

Uh... Rats, uncle.
Big palace rats.

I hear badou and tersh
and... Crocodylus.

Our hidden courtyard's
about to get un-hidden,

All because of tersh!

Um, I think he's helping
badou cover for us.

He's talking about...

B-b-big rats?

I don't believe
in these rats.

[Gasps]

Look out!
Giant rat!

Aagghhhhhhhh!

Tersh:
aaah! Giant rat!

[Laughing]

Jake:
wow! That was close!

Lucky for us
a giant rat showed up.

But why would the crocs
be snooping around down here?

Why don't you tell us,
tersh?

For some reason,

They're looking
for a hidden tunnel.

Uh... I was playing blimps
and buccaneers by myself

And my uncle may have
heard me say

Hidden tunnel base.

i'm really sorry, guys!

It was an accident.
Honest!

Close the tunnel, jake.

With crocodylus on the hunt,

We can't play
in the courtyard!

[Sighs]

Are they still there?

[Grunting]

Oh, they're gonna follow us
everywhere.

We'll never get back
to the courtyard...

Thanks to tersh.

Aw, leave him alone,
munroe.

he said it was an accident.

Hmph!

Munroe's right.

My uncle won't give up

'Til he finds
the hidden tunnel.

That's a great idea,
tersh!

Huh?

Huh?

What if we let him
find it?

Guys, I've got
a tusk-tastic plan!

[Plane engine roars]

Badou:
to hidden tunnel base!

Oof!

[Plane engine roars]

Oh! The hidden tunnel!

Oh, I've found it
at last!

[Cackles]

Huh?

What?
This is it?

Tersh:
uncle? Whatever are you
doing here

In our hidden tunnel base?

This is where
your secret passage leads?

To a dark,
smelly dead end?!

[Rumbling]

Aghh! Ohhh!

We like it.

[Groans]

[Chuckles]

Ewwww!

Oh! Hang on, uncle.

Maybe there's another
secret panel!

[Cackles]

Dilash! Nooooooo!

Hmm?

Aghhhhhh!

Aghhhhh!

Get me out of here!

Jake, get help!

Munroe,
toss me that broom!

[Grunting]

Aaaaggghhhhh!

Ahhhhhh! Whaaaaa!

Hurry!

Badou:
tersh, grab hold
of that beam!

How do I know
you won't let go?

You'll have to trust me.

Aaaggghhhhh!

Badou:
whaaa!

[Struggling grunts]

Aghhhhhh!

Nobody... Move!

[Grunting]

Aaagggghhhhh!

[Struggling grunts]

Munroe:
I'm slipping!

[Gasps]

Agh!

Is everyone okay?

[Groaning] no...

Goodbye,
hidden tunnel base.

Babar:
the squish-and-squash room

Isn't a place to play,
badou.

We have the ambassador
and dilash

To thank for pointing out
the safety risk.

Bah!
Secret tunnels, indeed!

[Laughing]

Hey, tersh!

Well, guys,
our plan worked.

My uncle's completely
given up

On looking
for a hidden tunnel.

That means you can come
visit us here anytime!

Actually, badou,

I'm just here to say
goodbye to the place.

Huh?

You're...
Not coming back?

My family's too snoopy.

I took a pledge

Not to let anyone find
the courtyard...

Even by accident.

You know, 'bu?

I think tersh would make
a great croc ambassador one day.

You're right, munroe.

And we can't let a future
ambassador play on his own,

Can we?

No way!

[Laughing]

Yay! Whoooo!

[Chuckles]

Zawadi:
[gasps] the starstone!

The moonstone
and the sunstone!

They're amazing, 'bu!

Badou:
they are pretty tusk-tastic!

It's the first time all three
have been shown together.

Which is why we have to keep
a careful eye on them.

Doesn't the sunstone
belong to the rhinos?

How did the king get them
to agree to show it-

It wasn't easy.

Lady rataxes:
outrages!

Only two guards to protect
my beautiful rhinoceruby!

I don't know
what I was thinking,

Loaning it out like this!

Badou:
don't worry,
lady rataxes.

I triple trunk twist promise
that we'll keep your sunstone-

Hmph!

Er, rhinoceruby safe.

Babar:
sounds like the stones
are in good hands.

Why don't we have
some refreshments and-

[Chuckling and chomping sounds]

[Loud belch]

Ratty, stop!

This is a very
special event.

Make a good impression...
For once.

Now, I want some pictures of me

And the stones
for our photo album!

Photo album?

Lady rataxes,
isn't that the royal hornbook?

I've read about it!

It has the whole history
of the rhinos written in it!

May I see it?

Get the camera,
ratty.

Ratty?

[Choking]

He's choking!

Aaggghhh! Help us!

Nits and gnats!

rataxes:
oof!

You... Saved...
My life!

But you owe me another plate
of hot-buttered honey tarts.

Ah, well, I suppose
we can call it even.

Ahh... Actually,

According to the hornbook,

Because badou saved
your life...

Uh, you have to act
as his loyal servant

for a whole week.

What?
Preposterous!

Zawadi:
it says it right here,
under rhino rule number one.

Rhino rule number one?
What's that?

It's an ancient command
that every rhino has to follow.

Oh, that's just a silly story.

There's no such rule.

rataxes:
sorry, my little
thornberry pie.

It says it right here.

To repay someone
for saving my life,

I have to be his loyal servant
for one week.

Huh?

I forbid it!

It's a matter of honour.

But I don't want
a servant.

Babar:
badou, doing the right thing -

No matter how hard -
is called honour.

Honour should be important
to every king,

And every young prince.

Babar's right.

Becoming your servant
is all about my honour.

so, c'mon,
start ordering me around!

I order you
not to be my servant!

Um... According
to the hornbook,

That's the only order
you can't give him.

Oof!

Can I get you a snack?

Read you a story?
Are you tired?

I could sing you
a lullaby.

♪ Rhino baby
go to sleeeee-eep! ♪

♪ I command you not
to make a peeeee-eep! ♪

Zawadi:
badou, you can't
just ignore him.

I can try.

Rataxes:
hey! You! Hippo-head!

You're standing too close!
Get out!

[Growls]

Rataxes:
out! Get out!

[Sighing]
lord rataxes,

People are allowed to come close
to see the stones.

They might have
been thieves.

Isn't that why
you're on guard?

Yes, but... Um...

What if thieves tunneled
in through the basement?

[Gasps]
the basement!

Someone should check down there
for suspicious characters!

I'm on it!

What?
If I can't ignore him,

Maybe I can get rid
of him.

Rataxes: ah-ha!
Badou: uh-oh.

Rataxes:
I found this suspicious
character in the foyer!

Which way to the dungeon?

[Groans]

I order you to just stand
there, okay?

If I can't get rid of him,

Maybe I can at least keep
from tripping over him.

This is boring!

really really boring.

Nits and gnats!

Boring-boring-borrrrring...

Boring-boring-borrrrriiing!

Whaaaaa!

Zawadi:
whoa!

Aggghhh!

Phew!

You saved my life!
Er... Again.

[Gasps]
two times in one day!

Uh-oh, that means he has
to be your servant for um...

Two weeks.

badou:
and then I grabbed
the starstone

And swung from
the head-bonker vines -

Ha! Ha! Hiya!

To escape the old cave.

[Applause]

Where is lord rataxes?

I had to do something with him
so I put him to work.

He's washing
my pedal racer.

Rataxes:
woo-hoo! Haw! Haw! Haw!

[Laughing]

Lord rataxes, you were supposed
to wash my pedal racer!

Rataxes:
I did!

Now I'm making sure
it is safe to drive!

[Laughing]

Whoa!

[Loud crush]

Guards!
We need help out here!

Agh!

[Groans]

Badou, you-

Don't say it!

Thank you, guards.

[Groans]

That's three times
you saved my life.

Now I have to be your servant
for three weeks.

No! Really!

It's a matter of honour!

lady rataxes:
ratty!

Agh!

[Gasp] hmm...

Good work, ratty!

I saw the whole thing!
You're a hero!

Zawadi:
huh? A hero?

He saved badou's life!

If he hadn't thrown himself
into the path

Of that treacherous
garden tool,

Badou would have tripped
over it.

Lord rataxes doesn't owe
prince badou anything any more!

look it up, stripey!

Stopping badou from tripping
isn't saving his life!

Well...
Ah, of course it is.

These grounds are covered
with pointy sticks,

Sharp pebbles,
and nasty, bitey insects!

No, no, my dear...
It's a matter of honour.

Oof!

Oh, I give up!

But all I have to do
to get out of this

Is let rataxes save me?

Uh-huh!

That gives me
a tusk-tastic idea.

guard:
prince badou!
come quickly!

Lady rataxes:
my rhinoceruby? Stolen!

Ooooh...

Babar:
the thief must have come
in through the window

And made off
with the stones

While the guards
were called away.

I should never have
left my post.

I broke my promise!

If I had just let lord rataxes
follow his rule,

We'd have been here
to catch the thief!

Papi, I have to get
the stones back.

Rataxes:
a matter of honour!

I'm to blame too.

I promise not to leave
your side

Until we have captured
the thief!

We'll check for clues here.

You see if you can find
the direction the thief took!

Badou:
over here!

Guard:
excellent job,
your majesty!

Let's see where this
thief leads us.

Badou:
c'mon, lord rataxes.

We're gonna catch
the thief!

Not if we go that way.

Huh?

Look, I might not know much
about being a good servant,

But I know a lot
about being sneaky.

No thief sneaky enough
to steal those stones

In broad daylight

Would leave behind
such a clear trail.

You mean, the thief wants
to fool us into going this way,

So he can make a getaway
by going that way?

Rataxes:
the thief went this way,

or I'm an aardvark's uncle!

a-ha! What's this?!

[Sniffs and chomps]

Yuck weed!

There's only one place
around here

Where that grows!

And our thief was here.
Look!

[Gasps]

Prospero:
[laughing]

Prospero!

prospero:
these treasures are worth
a merry mess o'money, sly.

Once we get through
this mine,

We'll be out of babar's kingdom
and safe!

'Bu, we should go back
and tell your papi.

She's right.

No time.
You heard prospero.

He's gonna get away
through the mine.

It looks like the mine tunnel
goes straight back.

Lord rataxes,
I need you to find a vine

And run in a straight line,

As straight as you can.

Uh... What am I running toward?

An air shaft.

Oooh!

I've got a tusk-tastic
plan.

Straight line?

You can't run in
a straight line in the jungle.

Whooa! Oof!

Zawadi:
he's leaving, 'bu.

Are you sure
about this?

It's the only way
we can get those stones back.

I just hope lord rataxes
had enough time

To find that air shaft!

[Panting]

What are you going to buy

With your share of the loot,
sly?

Maybe a nice walking stick
of your own.

Ha ha ha, huh?

Grrrrrrr!

Whoa! Whoaaaa!

There's the air shaft!

Where's lord rataxes?

Air shaft?
I don't see any air-

Yaaaaaaooohhhh!

Whaaaaa!

Zawadi,
grab on to me!

Prince badou!

Gimme back my looooot...!

[Impact and cries]

Badou:
you just saved my life,
and zawadi's!

And you saved the stones!

I'd say we were even.

[Chuckles]

lady rataxes:
now that I have
my rhinoceruby back,

I want to get home
as fast as we can!

This has been
the most embarrassing episode

Of my entire life.

Are you sure you don't need
a loyal servant

For a couple more weeks?

I can't take you anywhere,
ratty!

Just wait until we're back -
whaaaaa!

Aaaaahhhhh! Helllp!

I'll save you!

Babar:
you sure about that, badou?

Badou:
after you.

rataxes:
i've got you,
my little cactus creamsicle!

I'm slipping!

Yaaaaahhhh!

Oooh, ratty!
You saved my life!

zawadi:
and you know what
that means.

You have to do what he wants
for a whole week!

Whaaaaat?
Outrageous!

No! I refuse!

Babar. Stripey.
Prince badou.

Badou:
lord rataxes...

It has been an honour.

lady rataxes:
i don't care
what that stupid book says!

i won't do it!
you can't make me do it!

just you try!

don't even look at me!
