(After Crow gives Bold his share of food) Mmm... things are looking up!
Ssstill there, Scarface?
Still here, Adder.
You're wasting your time. Sssoon you'll be wasting away! (sniggers)
Laughing? When I've just bitten your tail off?
Only a Farthing adder would do that. Come on. Admit it. You're the famous Farthing adder. You're the brave snake who killed Scarface's son... ADMIT IT! I'll get you. See if I don't!
Not if I get you firssst!
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!
What do you mean?
I caught her with Ranger, Scarface's son. They were acting very friendly!
What?!
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...
Ranger.
...Ranger... is blue!
You promised you wouldn't tell him!
No I didn't!
Yes you did!
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?
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.
You're all against me!
I wish Badger was here. The young just don't seem to value the oath as we did!
Badger... Badger... are you alright? Badger!
Er... Moley! Old friend...
I'm not Moley, I'm...
Time to get up is it? Time to go out in the moonlight to hunt in Farthing Wood.
Farthing Wood? Badger, you're dreaming! We're in White Deer Park!
The moonlight, playing through the leaves of the trees. Light and shade, so you hardly see the black and white coats of my ancestors...
Badger? Badger! Badger... it's... it's your old friend Mole.
Mole? I don't know any moles. Only badgers. My brothers... and sisters. Tired after a night's playing, settling down to sleep.
(wailing) No, don't go to sleep Badger! Not yet... not yet! (runs off)
I may have done something really terrible. Do you have an Adder in your company?
Yes, why?
Did she kill Bounder?
Yes, I'm sorry Ranger. It was meant to be... your father.
So it was no accident... my father was right! Bounder's death was part of a plot against us! Well then, I'm glad I told him!
What? What did you tell him?
I told him where to find your precious snake! (walks off)
You told Scarface? Oh no! But Adder saved my mother's life! He musn't hurt her!
She would've killed my father!
Charmer's not happy.
A lover's tiff?
Poor Charmer.
Poor nothing! It's the best news I've heard all day!
Badger old friend... Badger?
Ah, Fox! Come to persuade me to leave Farthing Wood have you? No... no I'm sorry, I could never leave my old home... my birthplace...
Badger... I'm sorry I was unkind to you.
(last lines) A fox? Worried about kindness? (laughs) I must be in heaven... (sighs)
Badger...
He's gone... he really has gone.
[After Badger's death]
"In the midst of life, we are in death".
Oh, SHUT UP!
I don't know... I'm getting proper crusty in my old age aren't I?
You're not old. Not yet. All the same, we must all learn from that wise old badger how to grow old gracefully.
Yeah... an example to all of us. I'll miss him.
(sniffs) At least I don't have to pretend to be my father any more...
So, what's wrong?
It's just... I miss... other foxes.
Ooh, is that all? Plenty of foxes around, you'll soon bump into one of them!
I already have. She wasn't interested.
Now we have it, a she! A she! Well, the course of true love never did run smooth my friend.
(first lines) Can't you jump over it?
No. I was wounded in my back leg.
You poor thing. Well anyway, you're not missing much in here. I was going myself.
What did you think was in that garden?
Nothing now.
I see. You're new around here, aren't you?
Yes. Hunting's difficult, so I came to the town to forage.
I suppose if you can't jump, you won't be able to run either.
Of course I can't!
My, we are touchy aren't we?
You'd be touchy alright if you'd been shot in the leg!
I could be your legs... if you'd like.
I'M NOT HELPLESS!
Oh dear. Sorry. (she walks off)
No! Don't go... just...
You could help me if you like. We could work as a team!
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.
Friend?
A crow. We have an arrangement. We free one another.
I never heard anything so silly in all my life!
Oh...
You must be very tired.
But happy.
Mmm... life can be very hard. Especially for an old fox like you.
Old? Me!?!
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you.
You really think I'm old?
But I'm still just a young buck!
I'm sorry, it's just... you look... what ever happened to you?
I... travelled a long way.
Where from?
A nature reserve called White Deer Park...
