Scenes with Owl 65
Owl You got the wrong fox, it was supposed to be Scarface!
Well why didn't Fox tell me so himself instead of sending those stupid weasels as his messengers?!?
Owl Yes, but the point is, what do we do now?
I sssuppose you want me to bring the blue fox back to life? (sniggers)
Owl It would be better for you if you could.
Owl Scarface knows an adder's bite. You killed his son. If I were you I'd stay low for a while.
How low can you get? I couldn't get much lower unless I tunnelled underground! Ssstupid bird! As for those ssstupid weasels...
Owl Something will have to be done about them.
Owl I see you!
(stammering) Oh, I hear you as well! And ssso will everyone elssse!
Owl Just because you're afraid, there's no need to be rude.
I am not af-f-fraid, I'm f-f-freezing cold!
Owl Cold? Well then you must be hungry!
F-f-fasting's good for me! Saves venom, which I'm g-g-going to need!
Owl Ah, so we're after Scarface now are we?
Why don't you just hoot from the treetops and be done with it!
Owl Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit! And to think I was going to feed you. Huh!
Owl Hmm, a trial eh? And I shall be the judge!
Weasel and Measley: Oh NO!
Friendly! You should be on watch! Charmer will be waiting for you.
Charmer? Oh yes, she was waiting for someone alright, but it wasn't me!
I caught her with Ranger, Scarface's son. They were acting very friendly!
Owl Disgraceful!
(sighs) I had a feeling this might happen.
Traiterous cub... what has she told you?
Nothing, and she's no traitor. Or at least she doesn't mean to be.
What does it matter what she means to be? A traitor is a traitor!
She's in love! Don't you remember how it was Fox?
Well... it was different with us. We're both red foxes. This...
You promised you wouldn't tell him!
SHUT UP! So... we were not to know about this Ranger of yours, hmm?
I would have told you myself when the time was right!
The time could never be right! You and he could never make a match!
How can you say that, you haven't even met him!
I don't need to. You're red, he's blue. What more do you want?
We're young. What difference does our colour make?
Owl If I may intercede Fox, love as we all know is reputed to be blind.
Never mind all that claptrap! His father and I are at war!
(To Charmer) Perhaps your children will bring peace to the two tribes. Please don't drive another of my cubs away Fox.
Oh, so now we're back to Bold are we?
I'm sorry. I only meant don't be too hard on Charmer. You could at least meet her young admirer.
[After Badger's death]
Owl "In the midst of life, we are in death".
She is an extremely silly weasel, and her extreme silliness no doubt caused her to deliver the wrong message. But I do not think there was any maligned intention in what she and her accomplice did.
So does that mean we can get our own back by dunking them in the pond as well?
Owl (makes a nervous hoot) Ooh... er...
Perhaps an apology would satisfy you.
WS Whistler and Speedy
We're sorry.
WM Weasel and Measley
(To Owl) We're waiting...
Owl We're... sorry.
Don't worry. It was worth it just to hear you say that!
ME Moth-Eaten Rook
It's me.
Owl I can see that.
ME Moth-Eaten Rook
Have a nightmare, did you?
Owl I must have, yes.
ME Moth-Eaten Rook
Was I in it?
Owl Yes!
R Rook
I have a new responsibilty, which prevents me from flying with you to bird paradise, this poor little orphan rook. I must be mother and father to it, there's no one else. Do you understand?
Owl Yes of course.
R Rook
Say that you love me all the more for sacrificing myself in this way. Go on.
Owl Whenever I hear a rook call I shall think of you.
Can I be second-in-command?
Owl No, that should be me!
I should be. I'm the cleverest!
I think the kindest should be leader.
