[to Marina, regarding a red berry] I wouldn't eat that, but you might want to squeeze a little of its juice under your band. Go ahead, I can hear your skin chafing against the metal.

[to Shade] You obviously can't use your size to overpower the enemy.
[whispering] He's sensitive about his size.

The more you know, the better chance you have against much stronger opponents.
[to the cardinal] You'll lead a squadron of my owls to the water tower. We'll talk about hunting rights after the entire Silverwing colony is annihilated!
I'll pick, you stand guard.
What am I gonna guard against? A plant?
FSFlying Squirrel #1
[to Chinook] We flying squirrels are sick and tired of being mistaken for bats.
FSFlying Squirrel #2
It's harassment! Just because we have fur and fly doesn't mean the owls can pull us over on a whim!
FSFlying Squirrel #2
General Brutus has decreed that all bats be questioned and all Silverwings be imprisoned.
FSFlying Squirrel #1
Say, what kind of bat did you say you were?
Uh... a Chickenwing!
FSFlying Squirrel #2
Okay then.
What's in it for us?
Obeying the law! That's what's in it for you.
Like that's ever persuaded us.
[to Marina] Goth and Throbb don't just eat meat, they eat bats!
[to Shade sympathetically] A boy, without a father.
[to Brutus] This isn't our fight! [to an owl] What are you going to do? Eat me because I don't agree?
Why do you think humans band bats anyway?
To imprison us so they can steal the secret of our night vision!
It seems to me that you owls are being far too self-serving. Life and death are part of the natural cycle of things.
But this was an unnatural act!
The death of an owl by a bat is the final straw. I am closing the skies to all bats! All bats are fair game until the treaty violators are brought to justice!
I don't feel right traveling with those two meat-eaters.
We eat bugs. That probably grosses them out.
I hate the owls even more than I hate the treaty.
Treaty?
Basically, all bats were punished for not taking sides in the battle of the birds and the beasts. That's why we have to fly at night.
[to Shade] A jungle is an explosion of color. Born in the heat and the sun, we live as we choose in our jungle, with the warmth on our wings and our bellies never empty. We eat only the most succulent of small birds, the tastiest of lizards and other small animals.
How did you end up so far from home?
The royal guard was not acting with its ears wide open. The humans captured us, banded us and brought us here to be imprisoned.
