A line from ShoukichiI'm starting to get nervous. What if our little pranks aren't doing any good at all? What if the humans leveled the entire forest? Then where are we gonna go? Maybe Gonta's right. The only way to stop them is to get violent. I don't want to have to hurt any more humans. It just doesn't seem right to me. But what if they won't stop? Then what? "To be, or not to be?"

1 scene Shoukichi As soon as it's springtime, everybody goes crazy. All of a sudden they want to get married and have families. Nobody seems to remember Oroku's warning that we're not supposed to have any cubs. The second the sun hits their fur, they fall in love.
Shoukichi [He and Kiyo gaze into each other's eyes]
But not us. You don't see us chasing after each other like we're lunatics. We can handle not getting married and not having cubs, don't you think?
Kiyo
Of course we can. I'm so pleased. It's just what I'd hoped you'd say. You're... wonderful.
Shoukichi [She embraces Shoukichi passionately]
Yeah. We can hold off. I don't need to kiss, or cuddle, or rub noses or...
Kiyo
[eyes burning with desire]
Oh, Shoukichi.
[She kisses him. She leans into Shoukichi, then he leans into her. They collapse onto the ground, causing butterflies to fly up from the grass]
That was a mistake.
