I Want the Moon
based on “Many Moons” by James Thurber

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:16,100
- Boooo-hoooooo-hooooo….

4
00:00:16,180 --> 00:00:21,320
0hhhh, why oh why have I allowed
the court doctor to go on holiday?

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,160
What is to be done? Oh, what is to be done?

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,740
- What? Not feeling all sweet, eh?
How many chocolates have you eaten?

7
00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:36,440
-This many…and this…and this many!

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,040
-My oh my!

9
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,040
-Don’t tell anyone!

10
00:00:41,220 --> 00:00:43,180
- Play with the monkey…

11
00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:45,860
- Ahhhh, no, I do not want to!

12
00:00:45,980 --> 00:00:48,480
- D-d-do you want the elephant?

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,640
-No!

14
00:00:49,940 --> 00:00:52,160
- Don’t cry, please, don’t cry.

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,040
Perhaps, you want a chocolate?

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:54,900
- Arrrrghhhhh!

17
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:57,640
Daughter, dear daughter,
I will get you anything,

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,320
your soul wishes for.

19
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:01,320
Well, what do you want? Tell your Daddy.

20
00:01:01,340 --> 00:01:04,020
Tell me, tell me, what do you want….Well?

21
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:06,220
The Moon. I want the Moon!

22
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:09,720
If I have the Moon, I’ll be healthy again.

23
00:01:10,340 --> 00:01:15,980
-You will have your Moon. I’ll get it for you!

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,340
- Get me the Lord High Chamberlain!

25
00:01:23,420 --> 00:01:26,340
- I am here, your Majesty!

26
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:30,580
- It’s urgent! Get the Moon for the Princess.

27
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:33,940
- Your Majesty, but the Moon is expensive!

28
00:01:34,020 --> 00:01:37,600
And the treasury is empty.

29
00:01:38,780 --> 00:01:42,700
Here is the last golden sovereign,
and even this one’s got a hole in it

30
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:45,280
- Give this coin to me, for good luck.

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,160
- Here, take it. Who cares…

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,460
- The Moon has to be here SOON!

33
00:01:50,540 --> 00:01:52,740
- What if I can jump to it?

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,120
Oh, ouch! Nearly broke my head

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,280
- Your Majesty, I have acquired
lots of various jambalaya for you:

36
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:07,120
emeralds and opals, pink elephants
and a blue puddle, angels’ feathers…

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,920
- Get the Moon, Chancellor! Today!

38
00:02:10,940 --> 00:02:15,140
- With our transportation?
It’s 1000 miles to the Moon

39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,600
and it is bigger than the Princess’s room.

40
00:02:18,620 --> 00:02:22,760
And anyway…the Moon is made of cheese.

41
00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:25,760
- Whaaaat?? Do you have a head
on those shoulders?

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,960
- He, your Majesty, has a head….

43
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,900
- a smaaaal head of cheese, with holes in it.
Hahaha!

44
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:34,360
- Get out of here, you buffoon! Your Majesty,
I beg you…

45
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:36,860
- Get out of here. Out of sight!

46
00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:38,180
- With pleasure.

47
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,640
- Lazy bum!

48
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:39,660
- Absolutely right.
- Lazy bum!

49
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:40,980
- Absolutely right.

50
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,440
- Bring in the court  mathematician!

51
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,000
- Look, you are second smartest one…
after me.

52
00:02:54,020 --> 00:02:59,060
So, think hard and tell me how
to get the Moon!

53
00:02:59,180 --> 00:03:04,100
- It is not obtainable. Out of the question!

54
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,660
The Moon is as big as your palace,

55
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,920
made of copper and is dead firmly
nailed to the sky!

56
00:03:14,940 --> 00:03:16,580
- Copper??

57
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:17,760
- Yep..

58
00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:19,460
- Nailed??

59
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,220
Firmly nailed!

60
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,140
- You squared loggerhead!

61
00:03:24,180 --> 00:03:26,760
- I am not a loggerhead.

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:32,120
I’m well known in London and….in Paris

63
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:38,420
- Get the hell out of here! Where is the Wizard?

64
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,280
Aatchoo! Messir?

65
00:03:51,540 --> 00:03:54,880
- We need the Moon.

66
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,060
- The Moon-san is shine-san…
your eyes-san be blind-san

67
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:09,820
- No, you didn’t get it.
The Princess wants the Moon.

68
00:04:09,860 --> 00:04:16,000
- Moon-a-sami sky-a-sami,
Moon-a-sama, high-a-sama.

69
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:19,660
- Fetch it-a-sama, if you’re not a fool-a-sama!

70
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:27,640
What-sama? Moon-a-sama?
Wah-wah-wah, no get-a-sama.

71
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,200
- So get out of here!

72
00:04:35,260 --> 00:04:37,860
-Oh! Oh! Oh!

73
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:39,760
- Fraudster!

74
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,220
- Of course, all of them are wise men,
Your Majesty.

75
00:04:43,220 --> 00:04:48,900
However, it’d be interesting to know
what the Princess thinks about it?

76
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,700
- Have you fetched the Moon?

77
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,300
- Not yet, but I shall do, soon.

78
00:04:57,340 --> 00:05:01,140
What’s it like, in your view?

79
00:05:01,180 --> 00:05:03,500
- A little bigger than my nail.

80
00:05:03,580 --> 00:05:07,780
Because when I hold my finger this way,

81
00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:10,120
the nail covers most of it.

82
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,260
- Princess, and what is it made of, the Moon?

83
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:17,960
- Hahah, so silly. Gold, of course.

84
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,820
- Is it far away?

85
00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:23,180
- Can you see the tree?

86
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:26,260
It was hanging on a branch just now,

87
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:28,980
but then…it rolled off somewhere.

88
00:05:29,020 --> 00:05:31,620
- What if it rolled into this room?

89
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,280
Let’s have a look!

90
00:05:33,340 --> 00:05:35,280
- Okay.

91
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,920
- I’ve found it, I’ve found it!

92
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,660
- The Moon! But why does it have a small hole?

93
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:56,500
- Well, how else would it be hanging
on a branch?

94
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,440
- I have the Moon! I have the Moon!

95
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,360
- If the Princess sees the Moon tonight,

96
00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:46,920
she’ll understand that she’s been cheated.

97
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,400
Come on, think of what to do!

98
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,400
- Here, I’ve thought all about it, Your Majesty.

99
00:06:53,460 --> 00:06:55,420
Look!

100
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,540
- Oh, ouch!!

101
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:10,480
- I can’t see anything!

102
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:12,160
- That’s the thing!

103
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,020
In these glasses, not only the Princess 
shall'n't see the Moon…

104
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,520
She won’t be able to see anything!

105
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,480
- But then she might fall over!

106
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,900
She might break her leg…

107
00:07:22,980 --> 00:07:23,800
- Well???

108
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,200
- ..... helpless look

109
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,000
- What will you say?

110
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,060
- Fire fork.

111
00:07:30,140 --> 00:07:32,380
- What???

112
00:07:32,460 --> 00:07:35,900
- Fire-works!

113
00:07:35,980 --> 00:07:40,080
- Stop it immediately!

114
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,700
You’ll burn down the whole castle.

115
00:07:43,780 --> 00:07:51,100
Oh, what is to be done? What is to be done?

116
00:07:58,220 --> 00:08:01,000
- Do make it clear for me, Princess:

117
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,360
how can the Moon be glowing in the sky,

118
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,300
if it is on your chain?

119
00:08:06,380 --> 00:08:09,380
Haha, very easily, you simpleton.

120
00:08:09,460 --> 00:08:11,340
When I lose a tooth,

121
00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:13,340
another one grows in its place.

122
00:08:13,420 --> 00:08:15,960
Right? - Right.

123
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,420
And when the gardener
cuts down the flowers

124
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:23,780
new ones grow later. True?

125
00:08:23,860 --> 00:08:25,780
True!

126
00:08:25,860 --> 00:08:30,780
You see…It’s the same with the Moon.

127
00:08:32,300 --> 00:08:35,580
- Oh, how daft of me!

128
00:08:36,340 --> 00:08:39,980
The same very thing happens to us.

129
00:08:40,060 --> 00:08:44,340
And to everything else in this world.

130
00:08:48,380 --> 00:08:51,500
