The Making of Disney's 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' Page #4

Naughty horse!

Naughty!

He's just impossible. Really,

I can't take him anywhere.

Get this thing off me!

I'll teach you a lesson, peasant!

You were saying...

Lieutenant?

Oh, C-Captain!

Ow! At your service, sir!

I know you have a lot

on your mind right now,

but the Palace ofJustice?

- Make way for the Captain!

- Go on, make way!

Make way!

- Everybody out of the way!

- You, make way for the Captain!

- Make way!

- Make way, now!

Come on, boy.

Achilles, heel!

- Stop.

- Sir?

Ease up.

Wait between lashes.

Otherwise the old sting

will dull him to the new.

Yes, sir.

Ah, so this is the gallant Captain

Phoebus, home from the wars.

Reporting for duty,

as ordered, sir.

Your service record

precedes you, Phoebus.

I expect nothing but the best

from a war hero of your caliber.

- And you shall have it, sir.

I guarantee it.

- Yes.

You know, my last

Captain of the Guard was, um,

a bit of a disappointment to me.

Well, no matter. I'm sure

you'll whip my men into shape.

Uh, thank you.

It's a grea...

tre... uh,

tremendous honor, sir.

You've come to Paris

in her darkest hour, Captain.

It will take a firm hand

to save the weak-minded...

- from being so easily misled.

- Misled, sir?

Look, Captain. Gypsies. The Gypsies

live outside the normal order.

Their heathen ways inflame

the people's lowest instincts.

And they

must be stopped.

I was summoned from the wars to capture

fortune-tellers and palm readers?

Eh, the real war, Captain,

is what you see before you.

For 20 years, I have been

taking care of the Gypsies,

one... by... one.

And yet, for all my success,

they have thrived.

I believe they have a safe haven

within the walls of this very city.

A nest, if you will.

They call it

the Court of Miracles.

What are we going to do

about it, sir?

You make your point

quite vividly, sir.

You know, I like you, Captain.

Shall we?

Oh, duty calls.

- Have you ever attended

a peasant festival, Captain?

- Not recently, sir.

Then this should be quite an education

for you. Come along.

# Come, one #

# Come, all #

# Leave your looms

and milking stools #

# Coop the hens

and pen the mules #

# Come, one #

# Come, all #

# Close the churches

and the schools #

# It's the day

for breaking rules #

- Whoa!

- # Come and join

the Feast #

# Of #

Fools!

# Once a year we throw

a party here in town #

# Once a year we turn

all Paris upside-down #

# Every man's a king

and every king's a clown #

# Once again

it's Topsy-turvy Day #

# It's the day the devil in us

gets released #

# It's the day we mock the pig

and shock the priest #

# Everything is topsy-turvy

at the Feast of Fools #

Uh-huh!
