The Animals of Farthing Wood · Season 2
May I say on behalf of all everyone gathered, how gratified we all are on this joyous occasion. Fox and Vixen have always been dear to all of our hearts and-
Hear hear!
I haven't finished yet!
Least said Owl...
...soonest mended, yes.
Come back here!
Proper little dreamer she is. Lives in a world of her own.
(laughs) He's a bold little chap!
Ha ha! Just like his father!
I've been fine all this time because I kept clear from you!
But it wasn't my fault you were shot at!
Whenever I see you something terrible happens! You're bad news Weasel!
The poachers have returned once again to reassert their mastery over us. They are as gods with the power of life and death in their human hands while we mere creatures must submit.
They're shooting anything that moves!
The warden could stop them.
He doesn't even know about the poachers, so he's hardly going to be out looking for them isn't he?
Fox?
(holding the poachers at gunpoint) Alright you two, hands on your heads!
Well I'll be blown!
I heard so much about you from my mate... he died you know.
Mole? The Farthing Wood mole... is dead?
We met at the beginning of Winter. But it was so cold, and he was old. He died... leaving me mateless. But these are his. (points at her two young)
He's so soft, like moss!
Yes... I shall call him Mossy.
Badger... Mole isn't with us.
I can see that for myself. Tell him to get along and see me as soon as possible!
But... but... (Badger walks away in good spirits) Oh dear...
Yes... oh dear.
He can't take it in, poor old codger.
So sorry! Well, I'm not really. Nice soft landing as a matter of fact, but thank you!
(To Dreamer) That'll teach you to pay attention.
Here... I don't live here... do I? Hmm... well mateys... got to get home... got to get home...
Toady!
Got to get back to the pond where I was born... got to get back...
Toady... your old pond doesn't exist any more!
Got to get back to the pond where I was born...
Toadsss.
Foxes hunt by night, so now it's time for your afternoon sleep.
But I'm not tired!
Dreamer! Stay with the others!
(Only line) Sorry Owl!
Nice day for spying Scarface?
(Hits his head from under a branch) OW! (He snarls)
Or would you call it natural curiosity?
I call it none of your business you old ratbag.
Manners! (She hoots which attracts the attention of Fox and Vixen)
Shut up! Shut up!
As the revered sage said, "He who has run once, will run twice".
What revered sage? The White Stag?
No. Me!
That Farthing fox and his mate have had cubs!
That was to be expected surely. Anyway, they can't possibly be a sweet as ours.
I don't want sweet cubs. I want fighters.
They will be, given time. Look at Ranger. (who snarls, but is tripped over by his sister)
They've got your lily-livered blood.
So you think Vixen's cubs are better than mine do you?
Yes - they are. Much better.
I could take him high up in the sky and drop him, like I did the other one.
No. There's only one animal who can open a jar like this. A human animal.
Oh no, not again!
