Scarface quotes from The Animals of Farthing Wood

Scarface

(To Weasel about Fox) You can tell him from me, that I'll pay him back for the death of my son, as sure as my name's Scarface.

Scarface

(To Ranger) My son, today your family will reign supreme in White Deer Park! (laughs)

White Stag

(To the Animals) The park is yours. Go where you will.

Scarface

(First lines) As long as he's not on my patch.

Scarface

I only hope they stick to their own lands, now they've got it. (sniffs) You can smell them everywhere!

Lady Blue

Yes my love, I do agree.

Scarface

Nothing but trouble. The Stag should never have let them in in the first place!

Lady Blue

Such common red foxes too. Still my love, Winter's coming. Then we'll see who's who.

Scarface

(Seeing Fox and Vixen in the distance) My, what miserable looking specimens they are.

Lady Blue

At least having their own territory keeps them at a suitable distance from us. I would hate to see our cubs mixing with theirs, wouldn't you?

Scarface

Ah... As long as they stay there. But just let them put one foot wrong...

Scarface

I'm warning you. One more step...

Vixen

The Stag didn't mean us to be kept prisoner on our own lands.

Scarface

We can't come on yours. And you can't come on ours.

Vixen

But if we don't we'll starve! We can't eat Farthing Wood creatures because of the oath. It leaves us very little.

Scarface

(indifferently) My heart bleeds for you. (he walks off)

Lady Blue

There's one thing you have to learn my dear. My mate is the law around here.

Vixen

Oh... I thought the Sta-

Lady Blue

The Stag may be the king, but Scarface holds the power. No one can better him.

Vixen

Not even you?

Lady Blue

How dare you!

Scarface

Eating mice, are you?

Weasel

Er, er, yes! Want one?

Scarface

I prefer live prey.

Weasel

Ahahaha! Er...

Scarface

Aren't they Farthing Wood mice? Tut tut tut!

Weasel

No, and anyway Mr Scarface, sir, they died of a cold so there. Which is more than can be said for the vole you ate!

Scarface

Ah, so you saw that did you?

Weasel

Yes I did! And Mr Scarface, I'm afraid I have to tell you that particular vole was a friend of mine - a Farthing Wood vole!

Scarface

(menacingly) So, what are you going to do about it?

Weasel

Er... nothing.

Scarface

Did you happen to tell anyone you saw me eating a Farthing Wood vole Weasel?

Scarface

Are you quite sure about that?

Scarface

That's good, because if you had told anyone, Scarface would have killed you. Just like I killed your friend. GOT IT?

Lady Blue

(about Fox) The humans are falling for his trap.

Scarface

And he is going to fall into mine.

Scarface

That Farthing Wood fox has brought trouble down on all our heads!

Lady Blue

But how, if he sent off the poachers?

Scarface

They'll be back. And when they are back, they'll be angry.

Lady Blue

Aren't they just gorgeous?

Scarface

Better than anything that other lot could produce. Look... this one's got my nose!

Lady Blue

(To the cub) Come back here! Always ranging, that one.

Scarface

Ooh, a ranger eh? He'll be a great help to his dad against that fox eh? Won't you Ranger?

Lady Blue

Can't you forget him just for a minute?

Scarface

(To Ranger) You and me... we'll sort him out, won't we eh?

Lady Blue

If the poachers don't get us first.

Owl

Nice day for spying Scarface?

Scarface

(Hits his head from under a branch) OW! (He snarls)

Owl

Or would you call it natural curiosity?

Scarface

I call it none of your business you old ratbag.

Owl

Manners! (She hoots which attracts the attention of Fox and Vixen)

Scarface

Shut up! Shut up!

Scarface

That Farthing fox and his mate have had cubs!

Lady Blue

That was to be expected surely. Anyway, they can't possibly be a sweet as ours.

Scarface

I don't want sweet cubs. I want fighters.

Lady Blue

They will be, given time. Look at Ranger. (who snarls, but is tripped over by his sister)

Scarface

They've got your lily-livered blood.

Lady Blue

So you think Vixen's cubs are better than mine do you?

Scarface

Yes - they are. Much better.

Bold

Don't worry! I don't mean you any harm! I'm just having a look round!

Ranger

Then you shouldn't be looking around here.

Bold

Why not?

Ranger

Stay on your own land!

Bold

White Deer Park is my land. I was born here, same as you. What's your name?

Ranger

My friends call me Ranger.

Bold

I'm Bold.

Ranger

Oh, I can guess why they call you that, stranger!

Bold

Hehe, yeah. Listen, you and me... we don't have to quarrel, do we? Just because our parents have quarreled? We can still be friends! What do you say?

Scarface

You're going to regret trespassing on my land.

White Stag

The red fox cleared the park of poachers. You suffered losses because of them. You should be grateful to the Farthing fox.

Scarface

Grateful? To him? He drew the attention of the poachers to the foxes in the first place!

White Stag

But he saved the deer herd, and without the White Deer there would be no White Deer Park, would there? Not for you, nor the Farthing Wood fox or anyone else.

White Stag

The Farthing Wood animals have a saying. "All for one, and one for all". I am beginning to understand it.

Scarface

More than I do. He's just a troublemaker him! Says we kidnapped his cub! What rubbish. Do you see a red cub round here?

Fox

He's lost. I only asked if you'd seen him.

White Stag

Scarface, do you swear you don't have the Farthing cub imprisoned in your earth?

Lady Blue

That common little beast, in my earth? Puh!

White Stag

Then we must believe him.

White Stag

Be quiet! Fox is satisfied. Now he's going to leave your territory, and you're going to let him.

Scarface

(About Bounder's death) It was something to do with that Farthing Wood lot. I feared it in my bones!

Lady Blue

So, those common red foxes haven't the gall to fight us face to face! They're hoping to exterminate us one by one.

Ranger

You don't know that Mum!

Lady Blue

I most certainly do.

Ranger

How?

Lady Blue

Because we would like to exterminate them.

Ranger

This is crazy! I thought we were looking for a snake. Wouldn't it be easier if we just made peace with the Farthing foxes? You know, live together in harmony?

Scarface

Wimp! All this peace talk makes you sick! The boy's yellow, that's his trouble.
