Whisper
(first lines) Can't you jump over it?
No. I was wounded in my back leg.
Whisper
You poor thing. Well anyway, you're not missing much in here. I was going myself.
Whisper
What did you think was in that garden?
Whisper
I see. You're new around here, aren't you?
Yes. Hunting's difficult, so I came to the town to forage.
Whisper
I suppose if you can't jump, you won't be able to run either.
Whisper
My, we are touchy aren't we?
You'd be touchy alright if you'd been shot in the leg!
Whisper
I could be your legs... if you'd like.
Whisper
Oh dear. Sorry. (she walks off)
Whisper
You could help me if you like. We could work as a team!
Whisper
There! Didn't I say we'd make a good team? But why three? You must be very hungry.
Oh it's not for me, it's for my friend.
Whisper
Friend?
A crow. We have an arrangement. We free one another.
Whisper
I never heard anything so silly in all my life!
Whisper
You must be very tired.
Whisper
Mmm... life can be very hard. Especially for an old fox like you.
Whisper
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you.
You really think I'm old?
But I'm still just a young buck!
Whisper
I'm sorry, it's just... you look... what ever happened to you?
I... travelled a long way.
Whisper
Where from?
A nature reserve called White Deer Park...
Whisper
But your father's a hero!
Don't believe all they tell you.
Whisper
I'm really honoured to know you Bold.
Whisper
Bold? I've got something to tell you.
Whisper
I'm... carrying your cubs.
Oh, that's wonderful! Wonderful! Oh Whisper, I'm so happy.
Whisper
I'm glad. Because you do realise it means we're going to have to leave here.
Whisper
I want my cubs to be born somewhere safe. Where they can be near their own family.
Whisper
I want them to be born in White Deer Park.
But I swore never to go back.
Whisper
I know, but you were on your own then.
Have you any idea how far it is?!?
Whisper
All the more reason to start now.
Oh... why did you accept me as your mate?
Whisper
Because of your father of course! My cubs will have his blood! Oh I do hope they'll take after him...
And I thought... I thought it was because you liked me...
Whisper
Oh I do, I do! But I have to think of my cubs you know, they come first!
(sadly) Yes... the cubs come first.
Whisper
I'm glad you agree. We musn't be selfish Bold. And if we really do want them born in your park then we must leave, now.
Whisper
(weeping) Oh dear, dear Bold! Can you forgive me Bold?
Whisper
For making you take me back to your birthplace. I knew you didn't want to go... I'm sorry.
Without help... I would've died long ago. So perhaps after all there is somethng to be said about the oath and animals looking after one another. My father was right...
I think we won, didn't we fox?
We did win, we did! The Badgers must have killed fifty rats each! And Adder, and Sinuous, they were magnificent!
It doesn't matter how many times we attack Bully and his rats, we will never be able to kill enough of them.
Whisper
Oh I'm sure we will.
Yes, of course we will. [licks right paw as it's been bitten by rats]
[shakes head] There's too many of them, and more all the time. Every hole in the forest has a rat's nest in it. Litters of healthy new young, born every few minutes. They grow to fighting size between one full moon and the next. More, more all the time.
