Despereaux: [referring to Princess Pea] She was beautiful, like an angel.
Furlough: You are crazy.
Despereaux: And she smelled so amazing, like a garden. [lies down on his bed]
Furlough: Despereaux, you can't talk to a human. That is the worst thing you can do!
Despereaux: No, it's the best thing I ever did.
Furlough: They will throw you in the dungeon. You will get eaten by rats!
Despereaux: It'll be worth it. They could tear at my flesh!
Furlough: [realizes what he said] Oh, this is bad...
Despereaux: [referring to Princess Pea again] And when she held me in her hand, it was-it was so soft, like floating on a pillow.
Furlough: You know what? I'm worried about you.
Despereaux: That's the point, Furlough. There's nothing to be afraid of.
Furlough: QUIET! They'll hear you.
Despereaux: C'mon, just try it. Just for a second, just try being brave.
Furlough: Oh...
Despereaux: And stop cowering!
Lester: [as he opens the bedroom curtains] What's going on in here? What's all this talk about princesses and br...bravery? [to Furlough, offscreen] Furlough, I wanna see you in my study right now.
[Furlough walks out of the room, Despereaux hugs Furlough's pillow and sits down]
Lester: [minutes later after hearing of Despereaux with Princess Pea] Are you sure?
Furlough: That's what he said.
Lester: A real human?
Furlough: A princess.
Lester: [sighs] We need to tell them. We need to tell the Mouse Council.
Antoinette: But they'll... [interrupted by Lester]
Lester: This is bad. This is very bad. If they find out.. If they find out that they didn't find out... Oh, then they'll find out that it was me who... [realizes what he's saying] Oh no.
Antoinette: BUT THEY'LL SEND HIM TO THE DUNGEON!
Furlough: Oh, he'll get eaten by rats!
Lester: [as Furlough and Antoinette begin to panic] No, not if we beg. If we really beg and show them that he-he's changed. That he's afraid. That he's afraid and he's turned into a mouse. And... Despereaux! [no response]
