It's a nightmare!

Yes, dear.

How would they like it if they were hunted all the time? They'd not be singing and dancing then!

No, dear.

I'll be a sitting target!

I'll do my best to look after you.

You? What good are you?!

Twenty three, twenty four, twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine...

Are we all here, Badger?

[sighs] Afraid not, Fox. Mole is missing.

Let's do ourselves a favor and give him the slip. Mole's slow, stupid and tasteless!

[Mole overhears Adder, starts crying and leaves.]

He's better company than you any day, Adder! We cannot leave without Mole.

Sorry, Badger. There's no time to waste. We're going now. [Adder chuckles]

Well, you go on then. Mole and I will catch up with you. [leaves to find Mole]

Alright, everyone, we're moving off.

AAnimals

We're going to be alright... [Kestrel calls] One adventure can't wait. Hooray! Hooray!

Toad, take the lead. And remember, we're all relying on you.

Righto, matey! [hops]

BNBaby Newt

[wails] Water!

It seems that some of us can scarcely put one foot in front of the other. The newts won't last the night.

Only you can find water in the dark, Owl.

True. I shall fly ahead. Rely on me!

Good luck, Owl.

[thinking] Luck's something we're all going to need.

Is that you, Moley?

Go away.

Moley, everyone's waiting for you!

Don't stop, Badger. I'm not going. They could plead and plead with me, but I made up my mind, I'm not going.

Whyever not, Mole?

[crying] Because... because... it wouldn't be fair on the rest of you. [weeps]

Nonsense, Mole! We couldn't leave without you!

I'd only hold you up because I'm so little, and... and...

And what, Moley?

Slow.

Slow?

And... tasteless... [sobs]

Ah, Adder. You know better than to listen to her. We all took the oath of mutual protection. and that means... it means, um... I'll look after you, Moley.

[emerges from the ground] All the way?

All the way. It wouldn't be the same without you, Mole.

Honest?

Honest, Moley. You're coming with me. Leave you behind, indeed.

[relieved] Oh, Badger.

Don't panic! Those newts are on their last legs!

Lucky they've got any!

[checks up on the newts] What's wrong?

NMrs. Newt

Our baby's dying.

NMr. Newt

If we don't find water soon, we'll all die.

FMr. Fieldmouse

I can face it! Tell me, are we all going to die, Fox?

Probably! Ahahahaha! Want to take bets on it?

Perhaps we should go back.

Do you think we should?

No one's going back. There's nothing to go back for.

[Toad makes a loud splash in the swimming pool]

How can a creature as small as Toad manage to be so noisy?

Thisss is going to be interesssting!

Come on in Adder! Get your feet wet!

Chance would be a fine thing!

Got a bit of a problem Adder? I could get you a drink no trouble! How much is it worth eh?

You scratch my back... I'll scratch yours!

Fair enough. I've been wanting to do this for ages! [She lowers Adder into the pool]

Ssswindler! Shharper! Sneak!

[Adder is stuck in the swimming pool]

Psst! Still here Foxy, submerged... but not sunk!

Oh shut up!

[Fox has brought garden cane to help Adder escape from the pool]

What am I supposssed to do with thisss? Eat it?

Hang onto it, you silly slithering...

Say you're sorry!

Alright! If you insist!

[About riding on Badger] I feel so guilty riding along like this, while everyone else is so tired and I'm not helping at all.

You're more help where you are than you would be on the ground, Moley.

I could keep up, now that you've all slowed down!

I'd swap places with Mole any time.

What would you hold on with? Your teeth?

I'd be pleased to steal a ride on you... Weasel!
