Moominvalley (2019) - Season 1 Edit

A ha. OK, yes. Whoo hoo!

A letter, you say? Oh, yes.

A little bird told me there's someone special who calls in spring.

A Moomin who should still be in hibernation.

A strict time keeper with no facility for humour.

Aaaah! Oh!

Aagh! Ah! Whoa! (CRASH)

After stealing my beloved bedroom, which you're not in now,

Ah! Aaagh!

Ah. My own, private space at last.

All about leaving for a few more months.

All this trouble because you can't say no. Well, don't say I...

Although I'm not sure. Is it a house?

Am I but flying? Treachery!

And I can tell you that lighting a bonfire...

And isn't this nice? (CHUCKLING)

And they ain't for me, pal.

And this way, I don't even have to leave home.

And thought it would be so rude not to share. (CACKLING)

And your little one.

Are you sure you have to...? Well, better count up.

At last, he's finally woken up.

At least I still have the sanctuary of my own dreams to escape to.

At least you had your own room.

Because you're here. (GASPS)

Bon voyage! MYMBLE: Oh, yes, bon voyage, ha ha.

Breathe!

Brrr! Brrr!

Brrr! Ooh, hello, Moominmen.

But he's not getting his room back.

But I might actually miss having Little My around.

But this time, I choose where to build. Deal?

But, dearest, you're still wearing your pyjamas.

Can't you play with them, son?

Children, we have been hoodwinked.

Come in. Come in. I'll get the stove lit. We were still in hibernation, you know.

Come on home! I'll put the kettle on for you.

Dear Mrs Mymble, allow me to present your new home.

Did you know it's officially spring tomorrow?

Didn't you get it, or didn't I send it? I'm so forgetful.

DISTANT VOICE: Moomintroll. Moomintroll!

Don't blunt my chisel!

Don't worry, I won't bite. Not this time.

Early? Ha ha ha!

Ew. I made pudding, too,

Far away from the drawing room, so I don't have to hear them.

Get off my tail!

Good thinking, son. Perhaps you can get them all to sleep, too.

Goodbye, Mymble! Bye, giant sea turtle!

Ha ha! I love it. Good work, son.

Ha! Aagh! I know what you're up to.

Happy new year, dear.

Haven't you learned anything yet?

He obviously doesn't know what day it is, do you?

He obviously wants us to hunt him.

Hello there, little one. I'm Moomintroll.

Hello, sweetie.

Hm.

How thoughtful.

How time flies. Well, thank you so much.

Huh?

Huh?

Huh? Grrr!

Huh? Well, that could be arranged.

Huh? What?

I came to see what I think must be your new house,

I haven't quite finished it yet.

I hope so.

I hope you won't miss me too much! We'll manage somehow. (CHUCKLES)

I knew you two wouldn't mind sharing.

I may not be back for a long time.

I mean, a lot later. Bye. (WHIMPERING)

I never thought I'd say it,

I really must be going... Huh?

I say, it wouldn't be too much trouble

I say, what's the meaning of this?

I speak for all of us.

I suppose I could always build another house.

I suppose we had better be on our way now.

I think we'll all be very happy here!

I thought I'd come and stay with you for a well deserved rest.

I thought I'd stay. You're a bit annoying, but I don't mind too much.

I will never tell my mother.

I, in case you hadn't noticed, am a Hemulen,

I'm a grown up Moomin.

I'm just going back to bed. So I'll see you a little

I'm not a child any more, Pappa.

I'm sure they won't be staying for long.

I'm very pleased with my new house, mainly because it's mine.

I've had to squeeze into any old nook and cranny to get some peace.

Idiot! (CLEARS THROAT)

If it was any of your business, which it isn't,

Ingenious. Honestly, I had no idea.

Is by answering the confounded thing.

Isn't this room the perfect place to let my little ones run riot?

It would be the kindest way. Don't you agree, dear?

It's a little sticky just now.

It's my room! It's not! Pappa made it for me!

It's my room! No, it's my room!

It's not for him. Keep up.

It's not perfect, so it's not boring.

It's only a quarter past winter.

It's the humiliation I can't stand. MOOMINMAMMA: Don't worry, dears.

Just like you, my love. Thanks, I think.

Let me go, you great oaf!

Let's fetch the Mymble and her little savages.

Little My is my name, not my personality. Oh.

LITTLE MY: Times must be tough, if you've started drinking paint.

Little My. But you just said you were...

Look at you. Just sitting there,

Look, I think it's working.

Look, look, look, please, just don't tell her.

Looking at me with that smug look on your face,

Looks like we got rid of the wrong one.

Made it myself.

Make sure I don't leave anyone behind.

Mamma? Pappa? Someone's knocking at the door.

MAN: Hey! (ALL EXCLAIM)

Me? Yes. Take them to your room. I don't know, show them your toys.

Midsummer, my foot.

Midsummer? That's months away. I'll never survive.

MOOMINMAMMA: Well, don't stand out here all day. You'll freeze.

MOOMINPAPPA: I declare the midsummer bonfire lit.

MOOMINPAPPA: It's a little on the wonky side.

MOOMINPAPPA: That's a family heirloom.

MOOMINPAPPA: Yep, bon voyage.

Moomintroll?

Mum's the word.

My dear Moomintroll.

My dearest Mymble, it's been such a pleasure having you.

My, quite the gentlemoomin.

Mymble is such a busy person.

Mymble, what a lovely surprise.

MYMBLE: (SIGHS) Moominmamma's right.

MYMBLE: Can you believe it? Midsummer already.

MYMBLE: Come on, come on. I don't know what you mean.

MYMBLE: Thank you, Moomintroll!

MYMBLE: Thank you, thank you. I've always wanted to see the world,

MYMBLE: Well! (LAUGHS) The little ones seem to like it.

Mymble... My darling Moominpappa.

New builds, eh? MY: Out of the way!

No chance. I'm off.

Now, what was his name?

Oh, dearie me, it's hard to be sure, but I believe I might be one short.

Oh, er... (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Oh, goodness me. (LAUGHS) It's a mobile home.

Oh, hold on. Hold on, hold on, children, hold on.

Oh, if only midsummer could come a whole lot earlier this year.

Oh, my dearest Moominmamma.

Oh, my dearest Moominmamma.

Oh, really? Must you? You're joking. What a shame.

Oh, yeah, by midsummer. So busy, got so much to do...

Oh, yes. (CHUCKLES) Silly me. I'd better get dressed.

Oh! What's this?

Oh. What time is it?

OK, er, well, what's your name?

OK, if that's what you want.

OK, so what if we are?

OK. Good. Well, then,

Oof. A ha! No!

Ow! Aagh! (CHILDREN LAUGHING)

Perhaps she'll come to visit in the summer.

Phew. Well, then

Quite the scorcher today, wouldn't you say?

Really? Oh, yes.

Really? Promise? I promise.

Release me at once, but slowly.

Right, the real summer.

See you in the spring, my family.

She spent all morning telling me about how busy she is.

Snufkin.

So come on, we can forget

So it's a good job this responsible young lady came and told me.

So... Hm. What do you think? Very spacious.

Sorry, didn't you hear? Oh! Oof!

Still, what does it matter? Here we are.

Surprise. Aah! (CRASH)

Thanks for the offer, but I've seen your houses,

That little one is big trouble.

That's it! I've had just about enough of you!

That's why we should always be ready to forgive and to forget.

The midsummer bonfire, as it's midsummer.

The paint kettle! (CHUCKLES)

Then you come out here to laugh at me for trying to make a life for myself.

There. The midsummer bonfire. You can't argue with that.

This is my room now. Argh.

This is very odd.

Thought you might like some of my thick pea soup.

To fetch the stepladder, would it?

Too shy to talk, huh? (DOOR OPENS) (GASPS)

Two, four, six, eight... Yes!

Unless you have a nightmare.

Wait, what? There's someone at the door.

Wasn't thinking of you.

We'll soon fill it up. (WHISTLES)

Well done, you.

Well, er...

Well, I... LITTLE MY: Or better still... (GASPS)

Well, I...I... Ha ha! (SIGHS)

Well, what are you waiting for?

Well, you two look like you're having fun.

What was that for? Calling me little.

What?

What? Er, I'm just building

What? What's this?

When will you be moving in, dear?

Where are you going? To start anew.

Who fancies a nice afternoon nap?

Whoa! What's that? Bats?

Whoa. Ah! Whoa! (CRASH)

Whoo hoo! Ha ha! Hey!

Why don't you just tell her to go? That wouldn't be kind.

Won't you have an ice cream? Before it m m melts.

Yes, I suppose.

Yes, yes, it still is a little chilly, isn't it? Thank you, My.

Yes. I've been so busy.

You didn't say anything about Hemulen firemen.

You don't have to be big to stand up for yourself, you know.

You know full well it's illegal to light a fire so early in the year.

You mean it wouldn't be easy.

You mean...

You mean... OK!

You need to learn to stand up for yourself.

You promised. MY: I promised not to tell my mother.

You ruin my family home, hide in my teapot,

You should never build a house on sand, you know.

You... MAN: Hey! Huh?

You're trying to trick Mother into leaving. I, er, erm...

..and all your children.

..by midsummer, at the very latest.

..some warm cocoa to keep the chill off.

(ALL YELLING)

(CHILDREN CHEER)

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

(CHILDREN SHOUTING) Didn't expect anyone to come calling before the spring.

(CHILDREN YELLING)

(CHILDREN YELLING)

(CRYING)

(CRYING) Now, dear, I'm sure we can all get along, if we try.

(EXHALES)

(EXHALES)

(FOOTSTEPS THUMPING)

(GASPS)

(GASPS)

(GIGGLING)

(GRUMBLES) Now, now, dear. Let me fetch you a hankie.

(KISSES)

(KNOCKING CONTINUES)

(KNOCKING CONTINUES) (SNORING)

(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

(LITTLE MY CACKLING)

(LITTLE MY CONTINUES LAUGHING)

(LITTLE MY LAUGHING)

(LOUD THUDDING)

(MOOMINTROLL LAUGHING) Argh.

(MOOMINTROLL LAUGHS)

(MOOMINTROLL LAUGHS) Get off!

(PANTING) Right.

(RUMBLING)

(RUMBLING) Oh, goodness me! (ALL GASP)

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS) I really must get myself a new picture.

(SIGHS) Well, I suppose the only way to stop it

(SNORTS)

(SQUELCH)

(TEETH CHATTERING)

(THUDDING CONTINUES)

(THUDS) ..when spring has barely begun is wholly unacceptable.
