Ron, the dog, where is it?
Harry, he's the dog! He's an animagus!
Sirius Black No. Only one will die tonight.
Then it'll be you!
Sirius Black [Harry wrestles Black onto the floor and holds him at wandpoint] [Laughing]
Are you going to kill me, Harry?
Expelliarmus! [Harry's wand flies out of his hand and he goes over to Ron and Hermione] Well, well, Sirius. Looking rather ragged, aren't we? Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within.
Sirius Black Well, you'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you, Remus?
[Lupin helps Sirius up off the floor]
Sirius Black I found him!
I know.
Sirius Black He's here!
I understand.
Sirius Black Let's kill him!
No! I trusted you. And all this time, you've been his friend. He's a werewolf! That's why he's been missing classes.
How long have you known?
Since Professor Snape set the essay.
Well, well, Hermione, you really are the brightest witch of your age I've ever met.
Sirius Black Enough talk, Remus! Come on, let's kill him!
Wait!
Sirius Black I DID MY WAITING!! TWELVE YEARS OF IT! IN AZKABAN!!!
[Hands him his wand]
Very well. Kill him. But wait one more minute. Harry has the right to know why.
I know why. You betrayed my parents. You're the reason they're dead!
No, Harry. Someone did betray your parents but it was somebody who, until quite recently, "I believed to be dead."
Who was it then?
Sirius Peter Pettigrew! And he's in this room, right now!
Sirius Black Come out, come out Peter! Come out, come out and play!
Snape [Enters]
Expelliarmus! [Disarms Black] Vengeance is sweet. I'd hoped I'd be the one to catch you.
Severus--
Snape [Directs his wand at Lupin]
I told Dumbledore you were helping an old friend into the castle and now... here's the proof.
Sirius Black Brilliant, Snape. Once again, you've put your keen and penetrating mind to the task and, as usual, come to the wrong conclusion. Now, if you'll excuse us, Remus and I have some unfinished business to attend to!
Snape [Puts his wand to Black's neck]
Give me a reason! I beg you!
Severus, don't be a fool.
Sirius Black He can't help it.It's habit by now.
Sirius, be quiet.
Sirius Black Be quiet yourself, Remus!
Snape Listen to you two, quarrelling like an old married couple.
Sirius Black Why don't you run along and play with your chemistry set!?
Snape [Forces his wand into Black's neck]
I could do it, you know. But why deny the Dementors? They're so longing to see you. Do I detect a flicker of fear? Oh, yes. A Dementor's Kiss. One could only imagine what that must be like to endure. It's said to be nearly unbearable to witness but I'll do my best!
Severus, please.
Snape After you!
[Harry points Hermione's wand at Sirius, then at Snape]
Expelliarmus! [Blasts Snape into a bed, unconscious]
Harry, what did you just do?
You attacked a teacher!
Tell me about Peter Pettigrew!
He was at school with us. We thought he was our friend.
No. Pettigrew's dead. [Points the wand at Sirius] You killed him!
[Stands in front of Sirius]
No he didn't! I thought so, too, until you mentioned seeing Pettigrew's name on the map.
The map was lying, then.
Sirius The map never lies. Pettigrew's alive. And he's right there! [Points at Ron]
Me?! He's mental!
Sirius Not you! Your rat!
Scabbers has been in our family for--
Sirius Twelve years! Curiously long life for a common garden rat!? He's missing a toe, isn't he?
So what?
All they could find of Pettigrew was his--
Sirius Finger! The dirty coward cut it off so that everyone would think he was dead! And then he transformed into a rat!
Show me. [Sirius attempt take Scabbers from Ron] Give it to him, Ron.
No! What are you trying to do to him? [Sirius takes Scabbers] Scabbers! Leave him alone!
[Sirius and Lupin just barely manage to make the rat transform into Peter Pettigrew]
Peter Pettigrew Remus? Sirius. My old friends! [Attempts to escape] Harry, look at you. You look so much like your father, like James. We were the best of friends--
Sirius How dare you speak to Harry! [Chases him behind a piano] How dare you talk about James in front of him!
You sold James and Lily to Voldemort, didn't you?!
Peter Pettigrew I didn't mean to! The Dark Lord, you have no idea the weapons he possesses. Ask yourself, Sirius. What would you have done? What would you have done?
Sirius I WOULD'VE DIED!!! I would've died rather than betray my friends!!
Peter Pettigrew [Harry blocks the door as Pettigrew attempts to escape]
Harry, James wouldn't have wanted me killed. Your father-he would've spared me. He would've shown me mercy!
Sirius [Sirius and Lupin grab Pettigrew and prepare to kill him]
You should've realized, Peter, that if the Dark Lord didn't kill you, then we would. Together!
No!
Harry, this man is...
I know what he is. But we'll take him up to the castle.
Peter Pettigrew Bless, you boy! Bless you!
Get off. I said we'd take you up to the castle. After that, the Dementors can have you.
Sirius [Getting off of Buckbeak]
I'll be forever grateful for this, to the both of you.
I want to go with you.
Sirius Some other time, perhaps. But there will be time where my life will become too unpredictable.
But you're innocent--
Sirius And you know it!
Sirius [Harry Looks away not convinced]
I expect you're tired of hearing this all the time Harry...But you look so like your father...Except for your eyes...You have--
I have my mothers eyes.
Sirius You know it's a shame I got to spend so much time with Lily and James, and not as much time with you...But the ones that love us...never really leave us...and you can always find them...[Puts his on Harry's heart] right here...
Sirius [Gets up and walks over and climbs on Buckbeak, looks at Hermione.]
You know..you really are the brightest witch of your age.
[Rides off into the moonlight.]
Sirius [gazing at Hogwarts and talking with Harry]
It's beautiful, isn't it? I'll never forget the first time I walked through those doors. It'll be nice to do it again as a free man. That was a noble thing you did back there. He doesn't deserve it.
Well, I just didn't think my dad would've wanted his two best friends to become killers. Besides, dead the truth dies with him. Alive, you're free.
Pettigrew [appearing with Professor Lupin pointing his wand at him]
Turn me into a maggot! Turn me into a flobberworm! Anything but the dementors! Ron! Haven't I been a good friend? A good pet? You won't let them give me to the Dementors, will you? I was your rat! Sweet girl! Clever girl!
Get away from her!
Sirius I don't know if you know, Harry. But when you were born, James and Lily made me your godfather.
I know.
Sirius Well, I can understand if you choose to stay with your aunt and uncle. But if you ever wanted a different home…
What? Come and live with you?
Sirius It's just a thought. I can understand if you don't want to.
HARRY! [Harry and Sirius turn around; points to a full moon rising from behind the mountains]
Sirius Remus, my old friend. Have you taken your potion tonight? You know the man you truly are, Remus! This heart is where you truly live! This heart here! This flesh is only flesh!
