Chinook quotes from Silverwing

Chinook

[to Todd and Breeze] Now, where was I before I was forced to eat yet another tiger moth?

You were telling us about your dad.

Chinook

Oh, he's big. Big enough to kill an owl!

[with a dreamy look on her face] Wow...

That's even bigger than you said last time.

Shade

[after rescuing Ariel] Thanks, Chinook. I owe you one.

Chinook

Look around. It's no just me you owe.

Chinook

My father's huge! You'll see him when we get to Hibernaculum, if your runty little wings can make the migration. Then again, why bother when you don't have a dad anyway.

Shade

Don't talk about my dad like that!

Chinook

Your dad was bad news! He was a trouble maker and a coward.

Shade

My dad was not a coward, fruit bat.

Chinook

You know what I was just thinking? We could not see the sun and say we saw it. How about that?

Shade

Oh, really...

Nice going, chickenwing.

Chinook

What do you mean?

Well, this is just as much your fault as Shade's. If you didn't take up Shade on that stupid dare, this wouldn't have happened.

Ariel

What is it, Chinook?

Chinook

Tree Haven burning down, it was as much my fault as it was Shade's. I was showing off for Todd and Breeze and I shouldn't have listened to Shade when he dared me to see the sun. I couldn't let the runt.. [Ariel glares at him] ..I mean, I couldn't let him show me up.

General Brutus has decreed that all bats be questioned and all Silverwings be imprisoned.

Say, what kind of bat did you say you were?

Chinook

Uh... a Chickenwing!

Okay then.

Bathsheba

What's this about owls?

Chinook

There's a bounty on our heads and we...

Bathsheba

A bounty? Don't be redic...

Frieda

Silverwings! Prepare to evacuate the roost!

Bathsheba

I speak for the entire colony when I say these roosting conditions are unacceptable.

Chinook

You don't speak for me.

Marina

We escaped from two giant cannibal bats.

Chinook

Well if they're so fierce, how did you get away?

Marina

Shade used his echoprojection.

Chinook

Only tiger moths can do that, and even if he could it wouldn't fool anybody... [sees the tiger moth projection, screams and falls off the rock]
