Great White Stag quotes from The Animals of Farthing Wood

White Stag

(narrating) The death of the blue fox threatened the peace of the park. And a new plan had to be considered. As always, I went to the stone circle to think.

White Stag

(narrating) Our future in White Deer Park began to look more hopeful, but only because of Fox and his friends, and the oath of Farthing Wood.

White Stag

[to Toad] To have made this journey once is remarkable. To have done it twice is extraordinary. News of your coming reached us long ago.

Badger

We are so glad to be here. And it's all thanks to Fox. We'd never have done it without him.

Fox

I only wish... we could all have made it.

White Stag

But those of you who did have made history.

White Stag

Welcome to White Deer Park.

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.

Weasel

Scarface has got a Farthing cub. I expect he'll kill it and then there'll be ruptures. Fox won't stand for it, he won't!

White Stag

You know, the last time we met you told me you didn't know the Farthing fox.

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.

White Stag

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.

Weasel

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...

White Stag

Perhaps an apology would satisfy you.

We're sorry.

(To Owl) We're waiting...

Owl

We're... sorry.

Weasel

Don't worry. It was worth it just to hear you say that!

White Stag

(Narrating) Fox may have lacked the killer instinct, but not Adder...

Adder

And now, it'sss my turn!

White Stag

Adder?

Adder

I was about to say no more, no less. (laughs) But that wouldn't be quite true...

White Stag

You are in a good humour, in spite of your injury. Scarface's work?

Adder

How did you guess?

White Stag

I heard something about it. As a matter of fact I was on my way to see him.

Adder

Most interesting. (laughs)

White Stag

Well I musn't keep you. No doubt you have your own business to attend to.

Adder

I've already done so, thanksss!

White Stag

May I ask whether or not it's worth continuing my journey?

Adder

Depends on whether you wanted just to see Scarface, or to talk to him?

White Stag

To talk to him.

Adder

The save yourself the bother! Sometimesss, actions speak louder than wordsss!
