Ah, yes...
You're just a wooden horse.
You're never hungry or thirsty...
You don't need oats, eh? You're always happy.
You miss not turning?
Ah, yes. And I too would like to see the merry-go-round but...
A merry-go-round without children is not a real merry-go-round... is it?
But where are the children?
When I was little, I would spend my days on wooden horses.
I imagined I was a cowboy or an Indian.
VOICE: Père Pivoine!
I was Buffalo Bill. I was hunting bison.
VOICE: Father Peony!
Huh? What is that?
VOICE: A package for you, Father Peony!
A package for me? But where?
Wait there! It's coming!
But... is it--?
VOICE: I don't have time to wait for you!
I'm in a hurry, so I'll put it there! Goodbye, Father Peony!
Okay, but... where is this package?
And what can it be?
Let's see... "For Father Peony". Ah, yes, it is for me.
Let's see... oh! Why, there's something written behind...
"Dear Father Peony, I will..." Oh dear.
"I... I send you..."
Oh my goodness, it's badly written.
"I'm sending you from home this package which contains..."
Ah, I can't read. It's too badly written!
Well, finally, let's see. Oh boy...
Oh dear... these papers...!
Oh good, this box is beautiful. Let's see inside!
Ah! Oh, what is it? What is it?
(gasps) Father Peony! (chuckles) I salute you! And I salute the sun!
Yes, yes, good... hello, sir... Hello... what are you, sir?
Tournicoti, Tournicoton! I am Zébulon! THE Zébulon!
I've been locked in this box for so long! At least four thousand years!
Ahh... it's good to breathe, Father Peony! Thank you for giving me freedom!
And how good it is to jump! Stir!
Tournicoti, tournico-tood! Isn't it good, isn't it good!
Yes, yes, hello! Hello, Mr...
Mr... Mr. "Bézulone"-- er... "Tournilocole"-- Zébu...
Tournicoti, tournicoton! Zé-bu-lon! I told you! Zé-bu-lon!
"Zé", and then "bu", and then "lon"!
Yes! Yes, that's it. Yes, Mr. "Tourticolon"-- I mean Zébulon!
I told you, Zé-bu-lon! It's annoying...
So, what do we do? You know, I can disappear!
And appear!
And disappear again!
Where are you? Where is he?
Mr... Mr... Mr. "Lézubon"... Mr. "Lézubon"? Yoo hoo!
Here I reappear! (chuckles)
This way, that way! No, no, behind you! Father Peony! Heh heh!
I have a proposition for you.
I'm going on your merry-go-round...
I'll hang there upside down, feet up, like a ham, tournico-tam!
And when the children come... they'll have a nice surprise, Zébulon style!
Come on, come on, Father Peony! Play your music, play your music!
Spin your merry-go-round! Tournico-tound! Call the children! Tournico-tren!
Ah yes, here it is, Mr... Mr... "Torticolon"... Mr... uh... oh, help me...
Well, there you have it! Let's go!
To work! Let's get to work and get the kids ready! (chuckles)
