She wouldn't, eh?

Don't stand there staring.

Come along. We've no time to lose.

But, ma'am, tell me where

to find the blue bird.

It isn't as easy as all that.

You must look for it yourself-

in the past, in the future, everywhere.

- Are you coming with us?

- Certainly not. I've other things to do.

We're not allowed to go

places alone at night.

Did I say you had to go alone?

You have friends, haven't you?

- Can we take Daddy?

- There's your dog Tylo.

Take him. He might be

of some help to you.

And Tylette, your cat.

Take her, if you wish.

- Wake up, Tylo.

- Wake up!

Wake up, you lazy, creature.|

Stand up like a man.

- Mytyl, look!

- Tylo!

Mytyl. My little Mytyl.

And Tyltyl. Master Tyltyl.

I can talk. At last, I can talk.

Oh, if I only could have

the day you fell in the lake.

I tried so hard to tell you to keep away.

- Who are you?

- Quiet. We've no time for your gabble.

- We're in a dreadful hurry, Tylo.

- Why?

- I don't know, but she said we were.

- Quiet!

Tylette! Wake up!

Wake up, I say!

Can she talk too?

Well, naturally, if the dog can.

- Oh, Tylette, I'm so glad.

We've got to find a blue bird.

- A blue bird?

I'll come. I'll help you.

I love going places.

You'll come too, won't you, Tylette?

Why not? It might be amusing.

- I don't like the way she said that.

- Why, Tylo.

Come on. Come on now, all of you.

Be on your way. Hurry!

We shouldn't take Tylette with us.

She's treacherous.

I heard what you said,

you old sniffle-snoot.

- I'll chew you to ribbons.

- Uncouth, isn't he?

What are you waiting for?

Come along!

Don't stand there

gabbling all night.

Come along.

Well, what are you waiting for? Be off!.

- But which way shall we go?

- Oh, I told you.

You must look everywhere.

- But we'll get lost.

- It's so dark.

Oh, don't cry before you're hurt.

I'll take care of that. Light!

Appear.

It's the queen.

Oh, what little dunces you are

not to know this brilliant lady...

when you've seen her

hundreds of times.

This is Light.

Light, may I present Mytyl and Tyltyl.

- How do you do, Light?

- How do you do?

And my name's Tylette.

How do you do?

There's no need to be formal.

We're old friends.

Where would you like to go?

I shall be your guide.

- We're not quite sure where to go.

- Why don't you use your head?

Hasn't it occurred to you that the blue bird

might be hiding in the past?

But where is the past?

Do you know the way?

Why, of course.

The past is just behind us.

Come. I'll show you.

Now, remember.

Somewhere there's a blue bird.

Find it. Never give up till you do.

If you fail, nothing can save you.

Find the blue bird.

We'll find it. I promise.

Listen, you.

Maurice Maeterlinck

Maurice Polydore Marie Bernard Maeterlinck (also called Comte (Count) Maeterlinck from 1932; [mo.ʁis ma.tɛʁ.lɛ̃ːk] in Belgium, [mɛ.teʁ.lɛ̃ːk] in France; 29 August 1862 – 6 May 1949) was a Belgian playwright, poet, and essayist who was Flemish but wrote in French. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911 "in appreciation of his many-sided literary activities, and especially of his dramatic works, which are distinguished by a wealth of imagination and by a poetic fancy, which reveals, sometimes in the guise of a fairy tale, a deep inspiration, while in a mysterious way they appeal to the readers' own feelings and stimulate their imaginations". The main themes in his work are death and the meaning of life. His plays form an important part of the Symbolist movement. more…
