Original subtitles

The wind in the woods say the softly tune Follow my voice where reverence leads

From mountains through valleys to deep rolling seas

O, the wind of the breeze of the breeze

26th June

I may not live to complete this entry

I have had a very nasty shock and only my courage is keeping me alive

But whoever reads this when I'm gone

Shouldn't know that it was all in the cause of art

And I blame Badger if he hadn't said that fine summer's day

And it's just that I feel someone else should take it on

But Badger you've always produced the summer entertainment

Nothing of the sort more, though perhaps it feels like always for both of us

No one's ever done them better Badger

Oh, come come come

Brad's absolutely right, I can't think of anyone who's got your imagination, your experience, your authority

The authority comes with the job

If you're the producer, you're the producer

As for imagination, that grows with experience

And no one else will get experience if they don't try it

Yes, quite right Badger

Oh, thank you, it is time someone else took on the summer entertainment

Well, I'm glad you...

With imagination, someone with experience

Oh dear

Someone with authority

That's what Badger said, but there isn't anyone else

Of course there is, well, with me

Oh no

Yes, I shall produce the summer entertainment

A very different summer entertainment production style

Culture, spectacle, a production of which the critics will say

Here, what are you doing?

Yes, I bet that's exactly what they'll say

No, I... I mean...

Oh, I say really?

I knew it once from the enthusiasm that there could be no turning back

Very evening, I started work

Turning to the beloved books that are my constant grandparents

What's this? The complete works of William Shakespeare

Oh, I said that's an idea

Let's see...

I'm in summer night's dream

Of course, summer entertainment

In mid-summer night's dream

Ah!

Let's see...

Oh, here, now fair hip-holotow, natural outro on a page

Hmm, hmm, that's very good

Hmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

I said it...

I can't understand it where it is

Why couldn't the chamoroid English

Hmm, nothing like as good as Robin Hood with pictures

Or three mustketeers

Still, there's nothing wrong with the title

In mid-summer night's dream

Hmm, it's just that, uh, I just say...

Hmm, hmm, I wonder if I...

Hm, wretch!

Oh, bye, June!

Yes, what a truly good idea!

Oh, clever old Toad, good mother old Toad!

Oh, ha ha ha!

In summer night's dream

That's what it says, Tre

Over-ambitious, as always

When are the auditions, Rad?

Tuesday next, Mole, I think?

Yes, in the grounds of Toad Hall

No...

Well, I shall not be taken part

Oh, badger, no!

Toad's production, his Toad's production

But...

Well, the summer entertainment is an old tradition

Hmm, hmm, I suppose we shall have to go

Badger, I wouldn't miss it for the world

Though I may look like a weed, my name is very mustketc

Yes, yes, yes, not bad!

But don't mother!

Give it all you've got!

And though I may look like a weed,

my name is very mustketc

Yes, yes, right!

Thank you!

Toad?

Mm-hmm, oh, hello, badger!

I thought you were doing mid-summer night's dream!

Yes, I am!

Mustard seed doesn't have any lines like that!

Well, in the place,

she hardly says anything, so I thought I'd...

You know, you give it a bit extra

For the audition, you mean?

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, for the audition

No, no, that's all I did

I thought for a moment you decided to rewrite Shakespeare

Yes, now let's eat!

Ah, yes, I'm glad you're here, Ratty,

because I thought you might make quite a decent job

of the sheriff of Nottingham

What?

Sheriff of Nottingham?

Yes.

What's he doing in a mid-summer night's dream?

Well, quite a bit, actually.

Yeah, I mean, how does the sheriff of Nottingham

come to be in a mid-summer night's dream?

He's not one of Shakespeare's characters.

Oh, yes.

You'll be telling us you're looking for someone

to play Robin Hood next.

No, no, no!

Oh, no, no, good.

Because I'm playing him.

Oh, tell.

You mean you?

Now, you could be a bit tricky

when he has the short fight with D'Artagnon.

You mean the D'Artagnon, who's one of the three musketeers?

Yes, and I'm playing him too, she.

D'Artagnon in Shakespeare?

In...

Don't be silly, Ratty.

The three musketeers isn't written by Shakespeare.

Oh, dear.

It's...it's...it's by by my...

Guma.

No, I think it's someone French.

No.

Anyway, I musket, all.

I'm hoping one of the field mice can play a field.

Alice, Alice!

Alice!

She's from Hamlet.

Doesn't he know she's from Hamlet?

I could see that my friends found my inventiveness,

my imagination, quite incredible.

But I don't time to be asking well-earned admiration.

A producer has much to do.

Now, do you understand that, Billy?

Yes, I think so, Mr. Toad.

Good.

Good.

Learn while you're young, you see, and you'll never forget.

Like I did.

Like you did forget.

Yes, like I did.

No, like I did learn.

Yes, all right, all right, that'll be too.

This is very important.

You see, I have to connect the wire from the electrical generator

to the light I have mounted in the tree.

Electricity is, of course, dangerous stuff.

If you don't know what you're doing and make silly mistakes.

But I...

Don't know what you're doing.

Exactly.

And that, Billy, I don't make silly mistakes.

Oh, sorry, Mr. Toad.

Do you think that's obvious?

To cut off the supply, I have...

The...

The...

The...

The...

The...

The...

The...

I...

The...

The...

The...

The...

The...

The...

The...

The...

The...

The...

You...

Are you good?

Yes, Mr. Toad.

I have cut off the supply by throwing the I Maeiture on the switch.

And now, I can with perfect safety.

So...

Oh...

When we recall you, you could kept an eye on Bromus and...

Oh, Mr. Toad!

Oh, hey! Hey!

Oh, you're all right, Mr. Toad.

Yes, yes.

Of course I'm all right.

You forgot, didn't you, Mr. Toad?

Yes, thank you. Thank you, Alice.

Because you didn't learn when you...

Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Alice. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Now, buzz on the lawn to give a bite.

Oh!

Well, I check the installation. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Toad. And we won't ever forget.

Yes.

No!

Yes, fellow, fellow Henry is my name.

Um, Henry the Fifth, my dad's name was the same.

Hi, Joe, this is better than all that Shakespeare and stuff.

Mm.

Litty.

Oh, Henry's, I am the fifth.

He was the fourth.

But I don't want to be in it, Chief.

Well, that's all right, honey.

Because I'm not asking you to be in it.

Oh, thanks, Chief.

Oh, that's very nice.

Very telling you to be in it.

Oh, not very nice.

I mean, what can I do?

What you can do, McEnbrane,

is to help yourself to the household contents

while the performance's going on.

Oh, you mean, niggings?

Oh, exactly.

You mean?

What are you doing here?

We are in preparation for the entertainment of the Century, Mirth.

So I heard, and my companion and I

would like to be associated with said venture.

That's associated with, you mean, you want to be in it?

Yeah, precisely.

Ah, well, oh, oh.

The fact is, there aren't any part there.

Oh, Mr. Toad.

No part.

No.

Accu-l-pop.

Not very nice.

Not very nice.

No.

Buh-buh-buh.

I do need some help with the, the, the scenery.

Oh, well, I think we need to get us inside.

And I think as him, Volv to Mr. Toad.

Hmm.

What you mean, scenery?

Yeah, well, to start with, I need a tree.

Tree, Mr. Toad.

Yes.

I don't want to appear so

familiar or hyper-con-real or nothing, Mr. Toad.

But this is a tree.

Hmm?

Oh, oh.

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

But you see, it is an stage tree.

So you want to make a tree, are you?

A hearty, physical one.

Precisely a heart of an artificial tree.

You know, out of wood and wine, hessian and all that.

Right, Mr. Toad.

You mean?

Oh, that.

Well, do you with, I mean, we'll do it with pleasure, Mr. Toad.

Oh.

Oh, good.

Yeah, where's the timber?

Timber?

Wood.

Wood.

You know, to make it with...

Oh, um.

Oh, this pente about Toad Hall.

Oh, no!

How far south?

We certainly will, Mr. Toad.

We certainly will live.

Heh heh heh heh heh.

Well, Ratty, I believe you.

If you told me it was one of these new, fangled, modern pendants, but...

A tree.

Heh heh.

Toad's work is now the weasel.

The weasels?

Don't say they're involved.

The Toad's had the making scenery.

Ahhh.

I like the sound of that about as much as I like the look of that...

Tree.

We shall have to keep an eye on them.

Well, you got the stuff in here.

In an old curtain like you said.

Why will I react?

Like I said.

I'm doing me back, Chief.

That's it.

Butch!

Well, suppose someone seizes.

Er...

That's where my diner,

Vlolland, the clever plan, comes in.

We will be seen.

Oh, that will be seen because we will be on stage.

Make it out, you bah.

There's a couple of Robin Hoods, merry me.

Oh!

You mean?

I mean, Plankhead.

And no one will pay us any attention.

But when we go off stage,

we will go off...

Home.

With the look.

Oh...

Yeah.

Robin the Richter Feed the Weasel.

Hahaha.

Ha ha ha ha.

Now shut up and come on.

But you see what I mean.

Yes, yes, Moira.

Say it is a little on the big side.

I keep falling over it.

It's it out.

I do.

But it falls down again.

Look, Moira is no need to worry.

No one will be paying attention to you anyway.

They'll all be looking at me.

Oh, my dear, merely do stop making a fuss.

I have a lot to do.

Yes, but...

I have to prepare myself.

And in a couple of hours from now,

the curtain will rise

on the greatest summer entertainment

the riverbank has ever seen.

Yes, but don't say there isn't a curtain.

I know there isn't a curtain.

Thank you, Mo. Thank you.

Of knotting them the sheriff,

I'm the chap who'd like to catch this Robin

in a trap.

And on this date of mid-summer the night,

within this wood,

give him a really nasty fright.

But lack a day, he is too smart by far.

And when I think I have him in my power,

a neat disguise, he swiftly seems to dawn

as Henry V or even Oberon.

And that's not all.

He has another one to make himself appear

as dark and young.

For a rat.

For a Shakespeare.

But, Hark, I hear some noises in the wood.

For all I know, it may be Robin Hood.

I'll hide myself behind this noble tree,

just peeping out to see what I can see.

I'm Oberon, you're the king of Fairyland.

I roam the woods with all my scary band of fairies,

cobweb, mustard seed, and any others that I think I'll need.

And here they come, my faithful band of elves,

to tell you all about their little selves.

I'm Moth.

I'm cobweb, and I'm peas-musum.

We go for rides on an anroposum.

We are cobweb, peas-musum, and Moth.

We're lighter than a blub of rock.

Peas-musum.

And I, cobweb, you are he,

born on the first of the brewery.

Oh, and though I may look like a weed,

my name is Fairy-musted seed.

I thought I'd come, maybe.

You did, Mr. Toad.

But my mum said not to take any notice.

No.

What, she?

You?

I... Oh, oh.

Oh.

Enough of this, my faithful fairy crew.

For everyone has other things to do,

like fight the sheriff, who is far from good.

Because I'm also known as...

Robin-O-Hoo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

Hooray for Robin's, what I hear you cry.

Oh, for a stone-bulb to hit me the eye.

But here comes Friar Tuck.

He seems in-faced.

Who eats that daggie thing on Roger Wasted?

I'm Friar Tuck.

Of Robin's merry men, I am the fattest.

For I'm 12 stone 10 pounds.

I eat as much as I can get.

From meat pie to a fresh and crunchy let.

This.

Is good King Richard safe from wicked foe?

Not yet.

Do nothing, Ham, we'll have to quickly go.

With all our friends and rescue him from a jail.

But no, here comes the fairy queen along the trail.

Ill met by Moonlight proud Detitanya.

Ill met by Moonlight proud Detitanya.

Moonlight or ever safe?

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

Shut up.

No, turn them on me.

Oh, Richard Robbers caught you at your game.

Chief, they're onto a shatza.

I do arrest you in Bad King Johnny's name.

Oh, Chief, run for it.

How idiot.

Yes, I say, that's not in the play.

Come on, big quick.

No, you don't.

You villains.

Right.

No, no, no.

Drop that cheek.

Move an arm.

You.

Look out.

Get out for me, Bad Jack.

Toad.

Oh, look out.

I am looking out.

Yeah, I'm weird. Get in there.

Right, Chief.

Ah!

Oh!

Toad.

Well, thank you.

What?

What?

Another foot that way in the tree would have hit you too.

Oh, John.

Oh, that's all right.

I knew all the time.

It was...

He was...

Oh...

Oh...

Toad...

Oh, my head.

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

The animals that hid in the arms,

until it took too long,

who was it said,

spirit.

The world has held great heroes as his people's attention.

We've never a day went down to fame compared with that of tow.

Intelligent misty tow.

Hey, Carri, you missed the tow.
