Scenes with Dannan O'Mallard the Duck 30
Dannan I can't believe he wants Molly's brain! I mean, why couldn't he just take the brain of one of his other mad scientist friends?!
Well, I don't think there are any other mad scientists around here to be friends with.
Jakers! That's why he's making a monster!
Dannan What?
Fergal O'Hopper is building a monster to be his friend!
Dannan A friend with the brain of your sister, Piggley!
Well, why wouldn't he just make friends with your sister?!
A mad scientist doesn't stop to think of those things. That's why they're mad, Ferny! And I won't have it, I tell you! I'm going over there right now to save Molly!
Jakers. The place is packed. Everyone in the whole town is here.
Dannan Of course they are. You told them to come, didn't you?
Well, uh... What if we're not as good as Cluck Cockwren? What if we're not any good at all?
Oh... But you said we were, Piggley. You told everyone.
Dannan Oh... You better not have been messing with us, Piggley. It'd be awfully embarrassing if we were bad after all the fuss you made.
Well, now... I think we're good. But you know... I'm not sure we're as good as Cluck.
Dannan Oh, dear...
[Describing the fir darrig.]
He's about the size of a leprechaun. With a tail.
Dannan And he has whiskers.
Dannan And little beady eyes. [points to Wiley] Like him!
Dannan And a snout like you wouldn't believe.
Dannan And teeny-tiny little feet.
Delicate. Not tiny. Delicate.
[The pie has smashed a window on Piggley's house.]
Dannan Oh, now you've done it!
Dannan You shouldn't have pulled so hard!
It was Ferny who put his weight into it!
Oh, but Dannan threw it off balance!
Dannan Oh no, I did not!
Dannan Did not!
You were the one in front!
I was barely touching it!
Dannan You were stepping on my toes!
You know, we didn't actually see the window break, did we?
Dannan Trust me, Piggley. That's a BROKEN window.
[Cleaning the barn.]
Oh, this is a powerful big job.
Dannan Well, it's a powerful big apology we've got to be giving to the fir darrig.
You know, come to think of it, I never did see that fir darrig.
Dannan You're right! We never did! Why, how do we know that there ever was one, and if he was ever truly mad at us?
Oh, Janey Mack! And we gave ourselves all this extra work!
Maybe you're right, lads. But then again... maybe not.
I don't want to be a prisoner. Besides, in the story, Queen Maeve was the enemy of Cú Chulainn. You should be taking her prisoner, not me.
Dannan [laughs] This is our legend, prisoner! And in our story, all the Irish are on the same side.
You see, Ferny. It's like when martians invade in movies. You're the invader, and we're protecting Ireland.
Dannan And now, baddie, you're our prisoner!
Not anymore, I'm not! [throws down his bucket helmet and runs away] Now I'm an escaped prisoner!
[laughs] That's good, Ferny!
Dannan We can't let the prisoner escape, Cú Chulainn!
Go on, Ferny! You're gonna have to run faster than that so we can chase ya!
Dannan And capture you again!
I don't want to run faster, and I don't want to be captured again, and I don't want to play anymore!
Dannan So, you're in the spooky storytellers club without me, are you? And I can't be in the club because I'm a girl, am I? And girls are scared of ghosts and things, are they?! YOU BOTH KNOW QUITE WELL THAT I'M NOT AFRAID OF GHOSTS, OR MONSTERS, OR SPOOKY STORIES!!!
Uh, Piggley? I think she's mad.
Uh, Dannan... We know you're not scared of those things, and you're great at telling spooky stories, but Hector says--
Dannan HECTOR?! ...Well now, if Hector says it, it must be true. Scary stories told by brave boys like yourself just might be too much for a delicate thing like me.
Oh. You're not mad, then?
Dannan Mad? Ha! Don't be silly. You boys go on ahead to your little storytelling club. Have a scary good time! I insist! Hee-hee! [steps out the barn] It's going to be a lot scarier than you think it'll be!
G Gosford
My oak tree is ancient!
Dannan My rowan tree is prehistoric!
Sir, Piggley Winks from the Tara School News here! Are you lost?
MP Male pig citizen
Eh, no, I...
Did your house burn down?
MP Male pig citizen
Oh, I hope not!
Have you seen any good movies lately?
MP Male pig citizen
[frustrated] I... I'm just looking for me car!
Aha! Your car has been stolen! Tell me, who do you think might have stolen it, then?
MP Male pig citizen
Well, it's not stolen! I just can't remember where I parked it. [laughs] There it is!
Dannan Oh, it's too bad he found his car. That would've made a fine story.
Dannan News isn't about pretending. It's about telling the truth.
But we're not finding any interesting truth to tell.
Dannan Why is it that not one of us knew that donkeys don't wear horseshoes?
Oh, I guess that's why they don't call it donkeyshoes.
Dannan At least the horse is happy.
[Piggley goes to Dannan's house early the next morning.]
Dannan, Dannan, I have to talk to you!
Dannan Piggley, you wouldn't put a dog out this early in the morning.
But, Dannan! I know how to keep Don Toro from going back to Spain!
Dannan What are you doing to do, wake him up so he's too tired to go?
I've got the perfect plan. Don Toro's leaving 'cause he misses Spain, right?
Dannan Right...
So, instead of going to Spain, we bring Spain to him!
Dannan You are sleep deprived.
A sandwich! Raw vegetables! They've turned me into... Vlad the Daft!
Dannan [gasps] A vampire! Don't worry, Ferny! I'll protect ya!
Why do they call you "Daft"?
Because I always do the opposite of what I'm told!
Dannan I think you're headed right towards the Eiffel Tower, Commander Piggley!
I don't think there are any brakes!
