"NARRATOR:" "Following months of high rainfall, the river Seine begins to rise more rapidly than normal." "Over the course of the last week, thousands of Parisians living nearby the river have already evacuated." "To continue moving throughout the city, residents travel by boat or across a series of wooden walkways built by Parisians themselves." "The water reaches a height of 20 feet above the normal." "The Eiffel Tower has wet feet." "Emile, hey!" "Over here!" " Let me take that." " Thanks." "You know, Emile, I only have one regret." "You do?" "What?" "That it took you two years to ask me for a date." "I..." "I was scared you'd say no." "Oh, Emile." "I wish I had known." "All that time wasted." "Maud, my darling." "Don't let your mind dwell on that." "The past is past." "The future is ours." "Nothing." "Nothing can come between us now." "Emile!" "It's show time!" "What do you got?" "To the left!" "Yes, parry!" "To the right!" "Whoa!" "It's a dragon!" "What on earth is a dragon doing in France?" "What on earth is a dragon doing on earth?" "Oh, no!" "Okay, come on!" "Here it is!" "Whew." "Come on." "Hmm." "Hey." "Hello, Raoul." "Well, hello, Maud." "Look at you." "Petite as always." "That's a lovely dress." "What is that?" " Kind of an eggplant?" " Oh, thank you." "Um, I think it's more of a purple." "More of an eggplant I think." "Is Emile in?" "I have something for him." "No, I guess it is kind of an eggplant." " Oh." "The new Melies film!" " Mmm-hmm." "He'll be so excited, it's his idol." " Hey, Emile!" " Oh!" " Hey, Raoul!" " Catch this!" "Oh!" "Oh, that's embarrassing." "Hey You!" ""oh!" "Come on, come on." "Quick." "Okay, not looking." " I can't see anything now." " Come on, come on!" "Going somewhere, Emile?" "I have to go to Barbers to buy a new belt." "Obviously." "Oh, no, no." "A belt for my projector." "Since when do you put pants on your projector?" " Pants on my projector?" " Yeah, because uh..." "Never mind." "Do you need a lift?" "It's on my route." "Catherine is right..." "Oh!" "Catherine!" "Come on!" "Could you stop the..." "Sorry!" "Come here!" "Come on, bad truck!" "Come back." "So, I'll see you later at the screening?" "Yes." "Uh, yes, you will." "You know, Maud," "I was wondering if..." "If you don't mind..." " Uh, maybe..." "Maybe you would..." " Yes!" "Of course I would." "You would?" "Ah, yes, yes..." "That!" "Well, yes, of course..." "I mean, thank you." "Uh, here." "Thank you, Maud." "Um, anything else, Emile?" "Yes." "Uh..." "Well, I thought perhaps after the screening..." "Emile, buddy!" "Let's shake a leg." "I'm on a schedule here." "You'll have plenty of time to woo Maud when you're back." "Bye!" "EMILE:" "Well, thank you very much, Raoul!" "Well, you're very welcome, Emile." "Uh, for what?" "I was talking to her and you ruined it!" "You little devil, you!" "Let me pinch those cheeks." "You finally decided to ask her out, didn't you?" "Well, no, it's so complicated." "What's so complicated?" "You ask her out, she swoons." "She says yes, you swoon back." "Deal sealed." "You're on a date." "EMILE:" "It's not that simple." "Every time I see her, my tongue kind of gets glued to the top of my mouth." "Which is why you write her a letter." "The only thing you have to glue then is an envelope." "A letter." "That's not a bad idea!" "Of course that's not a bad idea." "It's a great idea." "I had it!" " I'll help you if you want." " I got a way with words as you know." "EMILE:" "Well..." "I do know." "But do you know much about love, Raoul?" "Do I..." "Oh, you are adorable." "Do I know about love?" "Do you have any idea what they say around Paris?" "When Raoul is on the prowl, the kitty cats all meow!" " EMILE:" "Oh." "That does rhyme." " It better than rhymes, my friend." "Hello, Madame Omelette!" "Hope you're not feeling too scrambled today and you're feeling nice and over-easy." "Where..." "Where are my eggs?" "It's not that I don't trust you, Raoul, but the way you drive, I figured it's safer to deliver the eggs with a little padding." "Great!" " Raoul, are you okay?" " No I'm fine, it's just..." "Allergies!" "MAN:" "Hey!" " Moron!" " RAOUL:" "Sorry, honey!" "EMILE:" "You drive very fast!" "I know!" "Ever since Catherine runs on sunflower oil, she really flies." "Uh, speaking of flies..." "Your coat." "It's very itchy!" "It feels like straw." "Straw?" "Are you kidding?" "What I paid for this?" "Oh, Emile." "This is genuine 100% rare!" "The flood of the century!" "Commissioner's popularity sinks as..." " As fast as the water rises!" " Uh, Raoul!" "Oh!" "Whoa!" "Oh." "Oh, no." "RAOUL:" "I hate birds!" " EMILE:" "Thank you, Raoul!" " Don't mention it, big man!" "See you later!" "Hey!" "Watch where you're going!" "Here." "A brand new second-hand belt." " Anything else?" " Uh, maybe." "Mmm-hmm." "She's a beauty, isn't she?" "Oh, yes!" " What's that?" " What is that?" "That is the future!" "No, that!" "Is it straw?" "No." "Okay." "Now, back to the future." "You see?" "No more blisters, no more dirty clothes, no more aches and pains." "All comfort, no effort!" "That's the future." " Okay." "But what does it do?" " What does it do?" "It does..." "Well..." " Bye-bye now!" "Thank you." " Thank you." "Uh, bye!" "My camera." "Oh, look at that!" "This is beautiful." "That's..." "That's my camera." "Wait!" "He's running away." "Thief!" "Thief!" "Okay?" "Well, okay." "Oh, right, right, right." " My camera!" " MAN:" "Hey, stop, thief!" "Oh, no." "It's not supposed to do that." "Huh?" "That's fantastic!" "It worked great yesterday!" "Okay." "Maybe if I just press..." "Oh." "Hey!" "One." "Two." "And it's supposed to do that?" "Raoul!" "Thank you." "Thank you so much!" "You saved my life!" " Uh, I did?" " Yes." "Look." "And three." "And I meant to do that!" "Now, we are all nice and warmed up, let's deliver those babies." "Uh, I don't know if I can." "It's just that I don't want to be late." "Don't worry." "We're gonna get there in a flash." "Wow!" "RAOUL:" "You're gonna love the professor." "He's a real character." "Way ahead of his time." "A real visionary." "A little like myself." "Too bad he never lets me see his work." "Maybe he's shy?" "Yes, maybe." "Professor!" " Oh, apparently very shy!" " Hmm." "Okay, what have we got?" ""Dear Raoul, I am in New York for a conference." ""Just leave the peat outside." ""In my absence, Charles will take care of it." " Hmm." " Who's Charles?" "RAOUL:" "Charles, come on." "Oh!" "Oh! "Charles, Assistant Botanist. "" "Hello, Charles." "Now, let's get those precious bags inside." "We wouldn't want them to get wet." "Right, Charles?" "What?" "Okay." ""Well, now that you're inside, just leave the peat at the door." ""Whatever you do, don't... " "... touch anything. "" ""Thank you." "Good day. "" "Okay." "Okay, I get it." "The professor seems to know you pretty well!" "Yeah." "Yeah." "EMILE:" "WOW!" "Beautiful." "Another job well done." "For peat's sake!" "Right?" "'Cause it's peat!" "Get it?" "Do you get it?" "Pete's sake?" "You're a monkey." "All right!" "Ready for a quick tour?" "But the monkey said we weren't supposed to..." "The monkey said, come on!" "You could film it!" "Imagine, Your own jungle movie!" "I play the brave explorer." " What do you think?" " You think I could?" "You are..." "Yeah, of course!" "Let's get to it!" "Right." "We'll call him..." "Let's call him Jeff, with my companion Charlie and we're going to save the damsel from the dark regions of the jungle." "Oh, my..." "Look at that monster!" "EMILE:" "What kind of tree is that?" "Well, that, Emile, it's an Extremus Gigantis Circus uh..." "Asparagus." "Actually, it's a sequoia." "If you prefer the generic name." "Oh, my..." "Look at that!" "it's the professor's lab!" "Emile!" "Emile!" "Come and get a shot of me!" "Okay!" "What do we got? "Do not use. "" "All right." "Let's see what it does." " Are you filming?" " Yes, but it says do not use..." "No." "Oh!" "Huh?" "Right." "Okay, next." "How about this one? "Atomise-a-tune. "" "Atomise-a-tune." "Good name!" ""Blah blah blah..." "For a more melodious voice. "" "That's incredible!" "That's amazing!" "Charles, you have a lovely singing voice." "All right let's try this one." ""Super-Fertilizer. " Hmm." ""Unstable. "" "Okay." "Now all I need now is a little seed." "From this jar, here." "A tiny drop, or two." "And then we wait." "And we continue to wait." "And we wait." "This one's a..." "This one's a dud." " Maybe you need to water it." " Good idea, Emile." "Very disappointing, Professor." "Okay." "Next!" "RAOUL:" "Let's see if the old geezer invented anything that actually works?" "EMILE:" "Whoa!" "Wow!" "Did you get that?" "L did!" "All of it!" "God!" "A sunflower that big must produce tons of oil." "This could cut Catherine's fuel budget by 10." "Emile, this must be my lucky day!" "Emile!" "Huh?" "What?" "Raoul?" "Raoul?" "Raoul!" "Raoul, are you okay?" "Yeah." "I think..." "I think the coat saved my life." "Emile?" "Emile!" "I'm okay!" "I'm okay." "Oh." "Good." "Good." "Charles!" "Where is Charles?" "Charles?" ""Look up. "" "Huh?" "Oh!" "Hey, Charles!" "Right, good, Charles is fine." "You're fine." "I'm fine." "The plants are fine." "Everything's fine." "There." "So, I think we'll be going now." "Good night." "It's been a pleasure." "Raoul." "Raoul?" "You didn't see something strange in there, did you?" "You mean besides a singing monkey, a 50 foot sunflower and vials of potions that almost killed us?" "No." "You see anything strange?" "You mean you didn't see a seven foot creature with big red bug eyes, four arms, and spikes all over his body?" "Emile." "I think somebody has been watching too many movies." " You think?" " Yes, my friend." "MAN:" "With all this flooding, what a dreadful winter..." " Whoops!" " CARLOTTA:" "Very harsh winter, yes." " But I don't complain." " Naturally." " We're lucky." " Yes, we are." "Uh, say, Madame Carlotta, have you told Lucille about my songs yet?" " Go on!" " Oh, okay." " Water goes where water goes." " Mmm-hmm?" "Who do they think I am?" "Moses?" "Am I supposed to make miracles?" "Uh, no, but perhaps some boats, more walkways, shelters for the poor, blankets..." "Forget blankets." "What's needed here is diversion." "Oh, yes, perfect." "We can divert the water." " Not water, Pate." "Their minds." " Oh." "We need to get their minds out of the wet and onto something big." "Something that will wash this headline away and replace it with something that will grab their imagination." "Uh..." "Like What?" "I don't know." "Something that will have some pizzazz." "Something that will pop!" "ALBERT:" "Whoa!" "Give me that!" " What?" " Go!" "Not my fault!" " Now!" " Whatever!" "Commissioner Maynott, Captain Pate, I trust everything is to your liking?" "Oh, yes, my dear Carlotta, yes." "Yes, of course it is, isn't it?" " One step from perfection." " One step from..." "Oh!"

"But, sir, I should think the quicker the better." "We are on the verge of a catastrophe." "Where you see catastrophe, I see opportunity."

"He may be a giant flea but he wouldn't hurt a tiny fly." "Look at him." "And his voice." "Have you ever heard anything so sweet?" "Oh!" "We have, once." "Yeah." "And by a monkey." "Oh, Honeybee?" "CARLOTTA:" "Are you ready?" "You're back on in two minutes." "I'll be right there." "Wonderful, sweetheart." "Don't be too long." "Well, I guess he does look pretty laid back, for a monster." "Yeah." "He does, Emile." "Okay, here's what we do." "We introduce him to the Commissioner tomorrow at the press conference, we clear the entire thing up." "What do you think?" "What press conference?" "I will pulverise it!" "I will crush it!" "Send it back to hell from whence it came!" "REPORTER:" "Uh, Commissioner?" "How do you propose to kill it?" "Why, with water." "See fleas cannot live in water." "At the moment, as fate would have it, Paris is full of water." "Which is why I have not moved more aggressively to drain the streets." "Water is my weapon of choice." "When I find the beast, I will take it and drown it." "AUDIENCE:" "Oh!" "REPORTER:" "Uh, Commissioner." "Commissioner." "Very commendable." "But how are you going to drown the monster, when you can't even find it?" "Oh, I Will find it all right." "As a matter of fact," "I am using this press conference to announce a reward for the first person to offer up any information that leads to the discovery and death of this menace to our peace and happiness." "Uh, sir..." "MAYNOTT:" "Yes?" "I have information..." "Excellent, excellent." " Please, come up." " Come on, let's go." "RAOUL:" "That little rat!" "He is the one who's gonna get drowned when I get my hands on him." " We'll never get there before the police!" " Are you kidding?" "There is no one alive who can beat Raoul when he drives!" " Oh, Emile!" " Maud!" "I heard about how brave you were!" " You did?" " Yeah, with a medal to prove it, huh?" " It was nothing." " I don't think so." " Emile!" " Coming." "I have to go." "But..." "For you." " Emile!" " Duty calls." ""Dear Maud, I'd really like a date." ""Saturday 3:00 p. m." ""Yours affectionately, Emile. "" "Saturday at 3:00 p. m. okay, but where?" "Come on, let's go." "To the cabaret!" "Ah!" "A monkey." "This is not Noah's Ark, you know." "Look, sweetheart, I didn't come to argue with you." " I came to save you." " Save me?" "Let's go." "Maynott..." " The police..." " The police what?" "Hurry up!" "In here." "Go!" "Commissioner." "What a surprise!" "For both of us." "Where is he?" " Who?" " The monster!" "Not as much as you've hurt me." "Your words carry no weight with me any longer, my dear." "Now let's stop this little charade and at least have one moment of true honesty between us." " Where is it?" " Where is what?" "Uh, sir?" "It's in there." "Oh!" "First you accuse me without a shred of evidence." "Then you violate my private property." "If you dare to enter my dressing room, you'll have to find another singer." "Consider it done." "MAYNOTT:" "Damn." "Not in here." "We've searched all over, sir." "Nothing!" "Really?" "I told you!" "I'm..." "I'm confused." "I do not know what to say." "I do." "Thank you." "Thank you?" "For putting the public's safety before your own." "Leading the charge to rid the streets of Paris of this terrible danger, wherever it may take you." "It was right here!" " I heard it..." " Arrest him!" "What have I done?" "MAYNOTT:" "What have you done?" "Lying to the police, bearing false witness." "Malicious intent." "Do you want me to go on?" "Take him away!" "But wait!" "I didn't do anything!" "My dear..." "I am mortified." "You thought you were doing the right thing." "I would not blame you if you did not sing at the inauguration now." "Of course, I will sing." "If for nothing else, to show my support and admiration for all you have done for us." "Oh." "Thank you, mademoiselle." "Enjoy your day." "And you." "Francoeur?" "Raoul?" "Okay, it's safe now." "You can come out!" "Francoeur." "There you are." "RAOUL:" "Bravo, Lucille." "Excellent acting skills." "EMILE:" "Well he can hide in my projection room." "No one ever goes up there." "Until they do." "And then we will have to move him again." "We need a more permanent solution." "Here, take that." "God, feathers." "If only we could shrink him down to his normal size, then no one would ever find him." "Smaller you are the less people look at you." "At least that's been my experience." "There's only one person who could save Francoeur and he's in New York right now." "Mmm-hmm." "But we don't need him." "Lucille, no offence, we're talking big-time science, here, okay?" "All I know is deliveries, Emile is all about movies, you're an expert in show business, but you know..." "Exactly!" "Mmm-hmm." "I see." "Smart girl!" "Thank you." "Excuse me, will someone tell me what you two are talking about?" "Ladies and gentlemen, come see Paris from above." "An uplifting experience!" "MAYNOTT:" "My fellow citizens," "I know we are here today to dedicate this wonder of technology even as we are beset by problems on all sides." "Monsters are ruling our streets." "Floods threatening on our very lives." " Oh, sorry." " Excuse us." "And so, along with this marvel, I bring you something else." "I bring you hope." "I bring you me!" "And so, it is with great pride and great expectations that I announce my candidacy for the post of Maire of Paris!" "Yeah, oh, yeah." "But before I take on this momentous task, it is my great, great pleasure to present to you" "a symbol of its current greatness."

"Why are you talking with that ridiculous voice?" "It's the helium, sir." "The monster stands between me and the city hall." "He dies..." "And I Win!" "Francoeur!" "Are you okay?" "Uh-oh." "Come on!" "Quick!" "Quick!" "Step aside, Lucille!" "Go ahead." "Shoot." "Don't tempt me." "The newspapers were right." "There is a monster in Paris." "And I'm looking right at him." "What?" "Have it your way!"
