A scene from The Last Unicorn 1982
Mommy Fortuna

The harpy's as real as you are, and just as immortal. And she was just as easy to capture, if you want to know.

Unicorn

Do not boast, old woman. Your death sits in that cage, and she hears you.

Mommy Fortuna

Oh, she'll kill me one day or another. But she will remember forever that I caught her; I held her prisoner. So there's my immortality, eh? Ha! Ha! Now, you were out on the road, hunting for your own death, and I know where it awaits you. I know HIM, that one..

Unicorn

Do you speak of the Red Bull? Tell me, if you do, and where he is, if you know!

Mommy Fortuna

The Red Bull of King Haggard...so you know of the Bull! Well, he'll not have you! You belong to me.

Unicorn

You know better... Keep your poor shadows, if you will, but let me go, and, let her go. I cannot see her caged. She is real, like me. We are two sides of the same magic… The harpy and me, we are not for you.

Mommy Fortuna

Who are you for then? Do you think those fools knew you, without any help from me? Ha ha ha! No! I had to give you a horn they could see! Ha ha! These days it takes a cheap carnival trick to make folk recognize a real unicorn. But, the Red Bull will know you when he sees you, so you are safer here! You should thank me for protecting you!
