[Mrs. Pheasant takes one of Owl's shedded feathers and puts it in her sleeping husband's tail]
[wakes up] DAAAAAH!!!
There. That's better now.
What have you done?!
I've just added a stray feather to your tail, dear, to hide the burnt bits. Oooh, it do look lovely!
[suspicious] What kind of feather?
Well, I think it's one of Owl's actually--
THAT DOWDY FEMALE?!
Beggars can't be choosers, Pheasant.
You should be grateful.
Grateful?! What?! [To his wife, Mrs. Pheasant] To have her feathers in my beautiful tail?! Stupid bird! Take it out at once!
[Mrs. Pheasant sighs and does so]
As if any other creature had feathers anywhere near as handsome as mine!
[sadly] I was only doing my best.
Peace... Perfect peace.
[to the Pheasants] Stop squabbling! Can't you see Fox is tired? And look at all the others. Welcome, Badger.
Thank you, Kestrel. Not much like home, is it?
Any boat hole in a storm.
You never said a truer word, Owl. Personally, I'm just glad to get out of the wet.
