And as for you , from now on my son you are going to toe the line. You will keep yourself where you can be seen at all hours of the day and night. You will speak only when you are spoken to and you will obey my orders. Right?
Bold? Try not to be too hard on him Fox. You were young once.
It's alright Mother. I'm going anyway.
I can't live here with him! I need space. Freedom to be myself! So, I'm off. Take care of her Charmer.
But Bold! You're too young to go off on your own.
This park... just isn't big enough for both of us, is it Dad? So I say goodbye... forever!
Bold, come back! Come back!
Caw! Any real fox would turn his nose up at a scrap like that!
It's unfair on those weaker than yourself, who would have been glad of a ready meal.
Okay. I'll leave you some. How about that?
Oh. Well, if you put it that way... Chancing your luck aren't you?
Out and about in daylight? Aren't you afraid of the humans?
(looks around and laughs) What humans?
You can mock, but you'll be sorry!
Rubbish! Why don't you come and eat?
I will... when you've gone.
Huh! Too cautious by half. (he runs off)
That young cub's in for a nasty shock, one of these days.
I don't want to hurt you! Is this your sett? I'm sorry.
I've not seen you before have I?
I'm new around here. My nose led me.
The pheasants, yes. A lot of foxes come. But they don't stay.
Why? Get bored of taste or what?
The human kills them. He wants the pheasants for himself.
Oh, surely he can spare a few.
I refuse to live in fear of man or beast! Why should I?
See? I'm Bold and I'm free. Got it?
Scarface! I should have dealt with him earlier.
The hares weren't on Farthing Land. He's within his rights.
Oh he's very spiteful, isn't he Measley?
Ooh yeah, I'd say spite incarnate he is.
But what to doooo? To dooo?
I know what I'm going to do... I'm bringing my family back to live on Farthing Land that's what.
(about Scarface) He who lives by stealth shall die by stealth.
I see. So you're saying he killed Dreamer in such a way none of us knew it was him? Now we've got to kill him in the same way.
You know you did you pompous old bird!
(To Weasel and Measley) Take Adder a message from me. Tell her Fox says "He who rids me of the blue fox will be doing me a great service". Got it?
Don't come any closer. I'm on Farthing Land!
Would I hurt anything so lovely? What's your name?
My friends call me Ranger.
Sure. Look, don't blame me. I didn't choose my parents, neither did you.
I wouldn't have chosen any different.
But we don't need to let their quarrel come between us, do we?
What do you mean? How can we be friends? We even look different.
But we feel the same, don't we?
I don't know. You must understand I'm a Farthing fox, I'm bound by the oath.
Ah, the oath. I've heard about that. You all swear to protect one another. Well, surely that was just your parents!
Once a Farthing fox, always a Farthing fox.
That trap was meant for me.
All the more reason to stay away from it. He might have caught you!
And now you're wounded...
You're not like other foxes, are you? You must put as many miles between you and man as you can, he won't rest until he's got you!
Not before I've had my supper.
If you're bored why don't you go and see what Adder's up to?
Why? I say, what's going on?
Let's just say Scarface's days are numbered.
(Thinking) I could just roll up and wait for my victim to ssstep on me! I sssuppose he might die of sshock! But it wouldn't be the same. (She then proceeds to kill Bounder, Scarface's son)
Sorry, didn't have time to prepare my landing!
A word of advice old son.
If ever you and Speedy have chicks, let her teach them how to fly, eh?
(about Scarface) He's bound to suspect the Farthing Wood animals. We better be ready Dad.
Ready? You mean ready to defend ourselves? No! We've got to attack! We've got to get him before he gets us! That's all there is to it! (he snarls)
You sound just like Scarface. Perhaps we older ones should let the young ones sort this out.
What madness. Friendly might be game, but he's not up to Scarface yet!
What Vixen meant if you don't mind me saying so Fox, is that you and I aren't getting any younger.
I wonder how life's treating our poor Bold...
POOR BOLD? He deserves whatever he gets!
Is this the same bold fox I saw before?
I'm starving! I need help!
Please fly to the copse and tell the badger. She'll help me, I know she will.
Because... because I saved her life!
Please Crow. I'll always be your friend and help you when you're in trouble!
A fox? My friend? (laughs) You've been listening to too many stories about the legendary Farthing creatures!
They aren't legendary. I'm one of them!
You mean they aren't just a fairy story? The journey from Farthing Wood really happened? Do you... do you know Fox?
The famous Farthing fox? Caw! Your father? Caw! Yes, I'll help you, caw!
Huh. For my father's sake!
