- Why, what's wrong?
Orders from Andreas Hofer
to mobilize at once.
- Mobilize?
- Oh, no.
Napoleon's soldiers are on the march again.
They're heading toward the frontier.
As close as that?
- Well, we-we stood them
off before, didn't we?
- And we'll do it again.
We assemble in the village square
tomorrow at noon.
- I'll be there.
- Till tomorrow then.
War.
- Daddy!
- Oh, Daddy.
- I don't want you to go.
- I must go, dear.
Why do they have to have war?
What makes war anyway?
The same thing that makes
trouble everywhere-
greed, selfishness,
those not content with what they have.
But you're not like that, Daddy.
Why should you have to go?
That's what's wrong about it, Mytyl.
You can't be unhappy
inside yourself...
without making others unhappy too.
Remember that.
Come, come.
Finish your suppers, all of you.
Is there any more, Mummy?
You don't get stew like this in the army.
- Good night, dear.
- Mummy?
- Yes, dear?
- I'm sorry for the way I behaved at supper.
That's what you always say,
Mytyl, that you're sorry...
but the next day you do
the same thing right over again.
I know I do.
I don't know why.
Well, you must find out why.
Otherwise, you'll always be unhappy
and discontented. You don't want that, do you?
- No.
- You want to be happy, don't you?
Yes, Mummy. Like you.
You're happy all the time, aren't you?
Well, nearly all the time, dear.
Don't worry, Mummy.
Daddy will come back.
Tyltyl, are you asleep?
No, I don't think so.
Are you?
How could I be asleep
when I'm talking to you?
- Did you hear someone knocking?
- I heard something.
- I'd better get Daddy.
- Wait for me, Mytyl.
Didn't you hear me knocking?
- Why, yes, but-
- Well, why didn't you let me in then?
Who are you?
Why, haven't your eyes?
Can't you see?
- I'm Betylune.
- Betylune?
Yes, the Faity Betylune.
Well, it's a little dark
to see clearly.
Dark?
Well, it needn't be.
Light up there.
It- It lighted, all by itself.
- How did you do that?
- Oh, don't ask foolish questions.
But Daddy can't even do that.
Hurry now, quick.
Hop into your clothes and be off.
- You've got to find the blue bird.
- The blue bird.
Of course. The bird that is blue.
The blue bird.
But why? Why would we find it?
Why? You want to be happy, don't you?
Of course. But what do
I want with a blue bird?
Oh, what a stupid girl you are.
Don't you know that the blue bird
means happiness?
How could it?
Well, didn't I say it did?
Now get dressed, both of you.
Or better still, I'll do it for you.
Quiet now. Quiet.
Quiet. Be clothed!
Look, Tyltyl.
Mummy wouldn't mind
having you around all the time.
