The following is a list of quotes from the fourth season of Babar.

Alexander the Great [4.1]

 * Fire Chief: Where's the fire?
 * Cornelius: There's no fire. it's much more serious then that.
 * Pompadour: It's the children!
 * Fire Chief: [gasps] The children are on fire?!
 * Pompadour: The children have been swept away on an errant airplane!
 * Cornelius: You have to save them!
 * Fire Chief: So... there's no fire?
 * Cornelius: NOOOO! And there's no time to argue! The plane's getting away!
 * Fire Chief: Oh, I don't know, airplane rescues just aren't in our job description. Do they have a cat with them? We can save cats!


 * Alexander: Hey dad, do you think I could be king while you're away?
 * Babar and Celeste: King?!
 * Alexander: Yeah. Somebody has to be in charge.
 * Pom: Hah! You, king? Tell me another one!
 * Alexander: I could be a great king.
 * Flora: Sure: Great at causing trouble!

Cruel to Be Kind [4.2]

 * [about the dressing gown Zephir gave Babar]
 * Babar: A fashion statement.
 * Celeste: What exactly is it you're trying to say?


 * Zephir: [about the rewritten speech] I'm telling you Babar, they loved it! When you told 'em that tuna fish joke, well, I thought I'd die!
 * Babar: I felt much the same, Zephir; I thought they were going to kill me.

A Pair of Queens [4.3]

 * Cornelius: [while babysitting the children] It's times like these that make me glad I'm a bachelor!


 * [while the children are swimming in the fountain]
 * Flora: What's the matter, Christina? Aren't you having fun?
 * Christina: Oh, Flora, I've never had so much fun. You've all been so nice and I.. Well... [sadly] There's something I should tell you.
 * [Alexander and Pom keeps playing with the bubbles until they hear Cornelius]
 * Cornelius: [off-screen] Children!
 * [Cornelius is on-screen while walking through the bubbles]
 * Pom: Everybody down!
 * [Pom, Alexander and Flora dive into the water. Flora picks up Christina]
 * Cornelius: I know you're in there! Come out! Come out this instant! [looks for the children] Hmm...
 * [Pom, Alexander, Flora and Christina raises from the water and flees away]
 * Cornelius: Ooh! [pants twice] Whoa!
 * [Cornelius falls into the water. Pom, Alexander, Flora and Christina enters the palace]
 * Christina: Why are we hiding from Cornelius?
 * Flora: It's just a game we play. Let's get out of these wet things.
 * [Back outside, Cornelius is covered in pink bubbles]
 * Cornelius: Off all the... When I catch with those... [sighs]

Rowing Pains [4.4]

 * Alexander: Way to go, Flora! You were terrific!
 * Flora: It sure wasn't all my doing. The best team won.
 * Alexander: And the best sister won, too!


 * Flora: Well, why don't you ask him yourself?
 * Pom: I would if I could find him.
 * Alexander: Oh, hey guys!
 * Pom: Where were you? You missed the whole practice this afternoon.
 * Alexander: I'm sorry.
 * Pom: The regatta is this weekend and we're not going to be ready, all because of you.
 * Alexander: So I missed one practice. Big deal.
 * Babar: As a matter of fact, Alexander. I do consider it a big deal. Everyone on the team has worked very hard. I think it's unfair of you to let them down like this. Now, where were you this afternoon?
 * Alexander: Um, I promised Zephir I'd help him. He was really busy, see and well, I'm sorry.
 * Babar: Well, I certainty can't criticise you for helping others. But remember, you have other responsibilities too.
 * Pom: Yeah, Alexander. You have other responsibilities too.
 * Alexander: Hey, Pom. Come here. You just gotta see what I got. [shows Pom the boat]
 * Pom: Wow. How'd you get this?
 * Alexander: Want to go down to the river and play with it?
 * Pom: Sure. That'll be... [looks at the boat and realizes something odd] Wait a second, Alexander! Now I know where you were this afternoon.


 * Babar: I hope you don't work Alexander as hard as you did yesterday, Zephir. He's got a big race coming up and we need him in tip-top shape.
 * Zephir: He didn't work here yesterday.
 * Babar: But last evening he told me... [suddenly realizes that Alexander told a lie on where he was last evening] Excuse me, everyone. Zephir, would you mind joining me?

Arthur's Object [4.5]

 * Pompadour: If you asked me, I'd say Arthur's adventures are ninety percent fiction and ten percent imagination!
 * Zephir: True enough Pompadour. And that arithmetic does add up to Arthur!

The Diaperman Cometh [4.6]

 * Rataxes: Put it back, dear. It's parents will be looking for it, I hope.
 * Lady Rataxes: Don't talk rot, Rataxes!


 * Lady Rataxes: Now we have a perfect family. A boy and a girl!
 * Rataxes: What shall we call her?
 * Lady Rataxes: Daphne, I think!


 * [Rataxes and Basil are climbing down the palace walls]
 * Rataxes: Basil, hurry it up!
 * Basil: But your rhighness, you know I suffer from vertigo!
 * Rataxes: You'll suffer from rigor mortis if Lady Rataxes catches us!

Time Flies [4.7]

 * Basil: If I may suggest sir, you might hire a ghost writer.
 * Rataxes: Uh-huh. And how do I get one of those? Through a ouija board?


 * Celeste: And you thought it was alright for your brother to run off in the middle of the night to rescue some man named Jules Verne?!
 * Flora: Well, we didn't think it was alright exactly.
 * Babar: We'll talk more about this in the morning. In the meanwhile, we should head over to Rhinoland to settle things once and for all. Come along, children.
 * Pom: I think they're really mad this time.


 * Basil: Sorry to interrupt, your rhighness. But King Babar seems to think that Alexander is around here somewhere.


 * Babar: Well you three, home. And we're all going to have a long chat about this in the morning.

Insecurity System [4.8]

 * Pom: Boy Cornelius, where did you ever learn to signal code stuff?
 * Cornelius: Oh, there's a lot that I know that you don't know I know.
 * Pom: I know!


 * Babar: Then what, Basil, what?
 * Basil: Well, it's just that the password was originally intended for my ears only and well, it's kind of embarrassing.
 * Babar and Pompadour: JUST TELL ZEPHIR THE PASSWORD!!!

Kings of the Castle [4.9]

 * Babar: What a day I've had. I haven't seen so many ruffled feathers since the hurricane in flamingo land!


 * Basil: Good news, sir. Since you started handing out free frosty cones, your popularity's gone up!
 * Rataxes: I knew it! The way to the hearts of my people is though bribery!
 * Basil: You're now two points more popular then a rattlesnake bite.
 * Rataxes: Rats...


 * Babar: [to the children] Time waits for no-one, and neither does the school bus!


 * Rataxes: Basil, how did I do in the popularity poll this year?
 * Basil: Well, according to a random sampling, you're slightly more popular then a plague of locusts.
 * Rataxes: Oh...
 * Basil: It's an improvement, sir. Last year, you were less popular then a volcanic eruption!
 * Rataxes: What's wrong with my subjects? Babar's popular; What's he got that I haven't got?
 * Basil: Do you have a couple of hours, sir? It's a rather long list.

What's Mine Is Mine [4.10]

 * Arthur: So this is a tin mine. Kinda damp, isn't it?
 * Charlie: So what didya expect? Wall-to-wall carpeting?


 * Rataxes: There isn't enough mud here to make a pie!
 * Basil: Don't worry, your rhighness; I'll find mud if it's the last thing I do.
 * Rataxes: And if you don't, Basil, it just might be the last thing you do!


 * Zephir: What are we celebrating, Arthur?
 * Arthur: My fabulously rich and productive gold mine!
 * Zephir: No!
 * Arthur: Yes! The richest piece of real estate this side of the equator!
 * Zephir: No!
 * Arthur: Yes! This gold mine's got more karats then a herd of rabbits!

The Scarlet Pachyderm [4.11]

 * Cornelius: Sit down, Alexander! No horse play in the car please.

 * Rhino Guard #1: Look lively, here comes Lord Rataxes. And remember, he said to make it look good.
 * Rhino Guard #2: I can't believe it; We get to yell at Lord Rataxes! This is better then a holiday!

<hr width=50%/>
 * Pompadour: He's struck again, sire! The Scarlet Pachyderm did it again!
 * Cornelius: What daring! What chivalry!
 * Pompadour: What cheek!

<hr width=50%/>
 * Cornelius: My tusks, Arthur! How did you manage to avoid a run-in with the rhino guards?
 * Arthur: The best way to avoid a run-in is to give 'em a run for their money!

All Played Out [4.12]

 * Rataxes: Basil, you're getting on my nerves. Don't you have something better to do then nag me with these unending chores?
 * Basil: But sir, that's my job!

Radio Riot [4.13]

 * Zephir: Live from the malt shop, it's Zany Zephir, the voice of children everywhere!
 * Pompadour: "Zany Zephir"? How appropriate!

<hr width=50%/>
 * Pompadour: Sire, This is ludicrous. Everyone knows children must eat their vegetables. It's one of the agonies of growing up.
 * Babar: You never hid your Green Beans?
 * Pompadour: I should say not
 * Babar: Oddly enough, Pompadour, I believe you.
