Hazel quotes from My Friend Rabbit

Hazel

Quaking acorns, I've got it! Mouse, you need to keep busy. That way, at the end of the day, you'll be so tired you could sleep on a bed of thorns.

Hazel

This is not good. I've been stuck in a tree, stuck in a rut, stuck for an answer, and stuck in the snow, but I've never been stuck in the mud. Until now. And I wanna be unstuck!

Mouse

We're playing together, Hazel. Do you want to play Follow the Leader with us?

Hazel

Follow the Leader? Have I played that? Leap Squirrel, Acorn Tossing, Berry Bowling, Shell Sliding... Nope, never played Follow the Leader. Wish I could play with you, but I'm busy. I have to pick up my acorns. It's what I do.

Jasper

I've never heard of anybody catching up to a rainbow.

Rabbit

Well, we're going to do it because we're fast.

Hazel

And smart.

Mouse

And we're already wet. So there's no point in stopping now.

Hazel

Okay, guys, here's how it's done. First, you climb a tree. Then you pick a nut off the branch and stuff it into your cheek. Like this. Then, you carry it up here to my hidey-hole, name the nut, then store it. I'm calling you Shirley. Easy-breezy. Can you do that?

Thunder

Yes. Uh, no. I can't climb trees.

Rabbit

Guess what. It's Jasper's birthday.

Hazel

Jasper's birthday? That's bushy-tail special.

Hazel

Here ya' go, Rabbit. Some nice, soft grass.

Mouse

And carrot juice, your favorite.

Hazel

Uh oh! Wait! [whispering] Carrot juice is an energy drink. It will just give him more bounce. We need something to take his bounces away.

Hazel

[suggesting ideas for Pearl's nest] And, of course, you'll need places for keeping nuts and combing your fur and -

Pearl

But I don't have nuts or fur. I just want it soft.

Hazel

Oh, I know, we'll make it out of bark!

Pearl

Hazel, you're not listening.

Mouse

Guess what. We found a Wackadoo.

Hazel

A Wackawho?

Mouse

Doo.

Hazel

Do what?

Mouse

No, Wackadoo!

Hazel

I'm confused.

Mouse

Hi Hazel. Have you seen any strawberried around here?

Hazel

Let's see. I've seen mooseberries, gooseberries, a goose eating mooseberries and a moose eating gooseberries. But nope, I haven't seen any starwberries.
