View Quote You're making a horrendous mistake! I'm not a spy! I'm a bard! I sing! Uh, I entertain! Oh, careful sir, these are the hands of an artist!

View Quote I'm Fflewddur Fflam! Minstrel of minstrels! Balladeer to the grandest courts in all the land! [harp string snaps] And I, uh, eh? Eh, well, have you forgotten? I have sung in some of the finest courts... [another string snaps] Well, I'm only waiting for an invitation! [another one snaps] Oh, shush. Why do you have to judge every word I say?

View Quote Campion: The new officer, sir. He's gone.
General Woundwort: Bigwig?

View Quote General Woundwort: You were one of those on the riverbank. Did Bigwig send you?
Hazel: I'm a friend of Bigwig's.
General Woundwort: What was left unfinished on the riverbank will be finished now.
Hazel: It would be better for both of us if we could come to terms.
General Woundwort: Terms?... Very well. These are my terms. Hand over all the deserters immediately.
Hazel: We couldn't agree to that. But I can suggest something better, for both of us--
General Woundwort: [dangerous] You're in no position to bargain.
Hazel: We shouldn't be fighting each other. We have enough enemies as it is. Perhaps we should be together. A joining of free, independent warrens.
General Woundwort: [considers this] Ah, I have no time for this nonsense!
Campion: Shall I kill him, sir?
General Woundwort: No. [to Hazel] You take back our terms. And you tell your chief, Bigwig, that if he and Hyzenthlay and the others aren't waiting outside when I come for them, I'll tear out every throat in the place!

View Quote [Campion and the other Efrafans see the dog that Hazel and the others have unleashed on them]

General Woundwort: Come back! Come back, you fools!
Campion: Run!
General Woundwort: Come back! Come back and fight! Dogs aren't dangerous!
[the dog drops a dead Efrafan and then comes after Woundwort, who lunges]
