It was a storm of judgment. For years, we had been hiding from oppression. Hiding from Napoleon's spies. But now nature was washing away the disease. I always knew, as with all things built on the wrong foundations, the farm would one day crumble. At last, the wait was over. The poisonous cement which held Napoleon's evil dream together was being washed away. I could taste it in the water. I was old, I was almost blind, but I can still remember.

5 quotes Jessie Jessie [Narrating]
Our windmill was ruined. Our spirits were at their lowest. But, Napoleon seemed... triumphant.
Jessie [Narrating]
Free? Life had been far from free in our hideout. Seasons came and went, and we waited. The years passed, we grew old, but we still waited. Waited for what surely must pass. Waited for Napoleon's cruelty and greed to bleed the farm to death. And now with the coming of the storm came the first signs that our wait was over. It was time for us to return to that place that had once been full of such hope. I wondered if anything was still alive. I knew in my heart that Napoleon had fallen. A victim of his own madness. But what of the others? After all we'd been through, I needed to believe there was still hope. Could this be the same place? Where Old Major had spoken of his dream? Where we had worked so hard for a better life? All that was left was a memory and the pain of the poor creatures who had suffered. My heart sank. But there are always survivors.
Jessie And so at last, the farm belonged to us, and we were free. We knew we could live without fear, and Snowball would show us the way.
Jessie Come on. We should leave while we still can. I'll get the others.

Oh, what is it?
Jessie I think it's my time.
You're dying?
Jessie No, puppies.
Puppies? Puppies! Quick, what do we do?
Steady now, Boxer. Let's get Jessie back to the barn.
Jessie Napoleon, I want to see my puppies.
No Jessie, you can't see your puppies.
Jessie But... they're my babies.
If you were thinking clearly, then you would be pleased at the special education that we're going to give them. You surely don't want to disadvantage your own puppies. Do you?
Jessie No.
Good.
Jessie No, I don't.
Well, off you go then.
Jessie They still need their mother.
Hhmm. Her sadness will spread to the other animals.
Mmm, not if we distract them.
Yes.
Moses What's going on? Leave him be! Leave him be! [flies down] Thou shall not kill.

I'VE GOT A TRAIN TO CATCH!
Jessie [Boxer gasping]
Here, try to drink some water.
Yes, yes I will.
Mmm, any improvements, hmm? Our leader is going to make arrangements to have his most loyal worker treated in hospital.
Thank... you.
Now... back to work!
Jessie But, but I don't think I should leave him.
Jessie They won't let me see my puppies.
Where are they?
Jessie I don't know. Boxer, the pigs always tell us what to do, what to think.
We must have leaders.
Jessie But what if they're wrong?
Napoleon's never wrong.
Jessie [narrating]
Dear Boxer. He totally believed in Napoleon. He just wanted to do right.
Jessie I could've saved him.
Nobody can save any of us.
Jessie I could have.
How?
Jessie I found a place at the edge of the farm. A good place to hide. I should've taken him there, but I did nothing. I'll never forgive myself.
Well, you could put the wrong right.
Jessie Yeah, Yes, you're right.
Muriel won't last much longer. And there are others.
Jessie Then we must save them. We must leave with as many animals as we can.
That's it.
