“The Escape (Part 3)” · Season 1
In this episode: General Woundwort (1), Bigwig (1), Captain Holly (1), Bluebell (1)
I didn't realise you'd been made Chief Rabbit, Holly.
I haven't, nor do I wish to be. You have a reputation for being impetuous, Bigwig. Now is the time for consideration, not impulse.
How dare you call me impetuous! No-one else thinks that! [looks around at the others] Who else thinks I'm impetuous, huh?
Uh... I don't know what intemptuous means, but, yes.
Ah, here we are, Hyzenthlay! Have you thought about what I said?
I can work for you. But there'd need to be better conditions for the does.
And you'll tell me everything? You'll be my ears? [she doesn't answer; he smirks] Guard, remove this doe! She's to be executed at Frithdown. The truth is that I already have spies everywhere. [she whimpers] Everywhere!
But why did you...?
Why? Because the General wanted to see if I could break you, Hyzenthlay. He wanted to see if I could break you into a thousand tiny pieces and then cast you to the wind. And I have to say, it was so disappointingly easy. [he walks away, laughing]
[after he and his guards surround the other rabbits] So we finally meet, Thlayli. They told me you weren't a fighter, but I know a fighter when I see one. I'm going to take great pleasure in killing you.
