Scenes with Basta
3 scenes Basta (after catching up to Meggie and Mo)
Hello, princess. Where's you father?
I told them he's gone out, but they don't believe me.
You told them?!
He had a knife to my throat! Isn't he awful?
Basta Tell me where Silvertongue is before I kill you both. (Toto comes out from under the bed and barks)
Toto, no! (she goes over to Toto)
Toto? (looks at "The Wizard of Oz") Oh, my goodness! (picks up "The Wizard of Oz") She's inherited her father's gift! (Basta grabs the book, and looks back at Meggie)
Basta Another Silvertongue. Ol' Capricorn will be pleased. (he takes Toto away from Meggie; Toto whimpers)
Basta (after he attempted to attack Meggie)
Get off!
No one gets hurt! (starts setting fire on Basta's jacket)
Basta (terrified)
F-fire! Fire!
Is that what we agreed on? Is that what we agreed on?!
Basta Yes! We agreed! We agreed! We agreed! (Dustfinger takes his hands off Basta's shoulders, thus the fire dying down; Basta fearfully pats out the remaining flames)
Basta (delivering Meggie's dinner)
Food for the little princess. Capricorn wants you to have your strength for tonight.
You should stay; we're telling ghost stories. (Basta flinches) Oh, that's right. You don't like ghost stories.
Basta I'll give you ghost stories, you-!
