Kehaar KAH, KAH!
Bigwig, I've got an idea. See if you can find some worms--
Worms? What for, for Frith's sake?
Kehaar [fiercely proud]
I get up plenty soon!
Well if he's hurt, maybe we ought to help him.
A bird? What for?
Kehaar PISS OFF!!! What for help me?
Kehaar [After the rabbits decide to ask Kehaar to find mates for them] [sitting and musing in a burrow]
What home? This hole? Where are mates? Where are chicks? Mate make eggs, mate sit on eggs, hatch eggs, many eggs. We feed chicks. Egg robbers come, we fight.
Kehaar [Bigwig pounces on him from behind to get his attention]
YAAAAAAAAAH, YAAAAAAAAAAH!!! KAH, KAH, KAH, KAH, KAH, KAH, KAH!!! YOU STUPID BUNNIES! You got no mates! Where are mates?! WHERE ARE CHICKS?! Plenty trouble for you! You need MATES!
Kehaar You got no brains! You no plan! You need mates for plan! Listen - I got plan for you. Wing better. I go fly; fly for you. I find mates.
What a splendid idea, Kehaar!
How clever of you to think of it. You very fine bird.
Did you find anything on your flight?
Kehaar Efrafa.
Can you guide us there?
Kehaar Many rabbits. Too many rabbits.
Holly
A lot of us wouldn't be enough to fight one of their wide patrols.
What do you mean?
Holly
[shows Bigwig the scar on his shoulder]
You see this? They did it to me. It's an identification mark. Tells you when you can be above ground.
What do you mean? Who's to stop you?
Holly
Their Owsla. Their chief is called Woundwort. General Woundwort. I don't think even you'd match up to him, Bigwig. Under him are his captains, each one in charge of a Mark. If you're found above ground at the wrong time, they take you before the Council for punishment.
Some of them must get away.
Holly
They caught one trying to run away when I was there. Blackavar was his name. When they'd finished with him, both his ears were ripped to shreds...worse than this one of mine. He was lucky not to have been killed. There was another one, a doe, Hyzenthlay. I couldn't have escaped without her help.
Why didn't she go with you?
Holly
She wouldn't go without the others.
Then there are some that might be persuaded to leave?
Holly
Oh, yes. But you'd never get them out of Efrafa.
Well, you got out.
Holly
Only because Lord Frith sent one of his great messengers. [a flashback shows Holly running away from two Efrafans, the Efrafans are run over by a train and Holly rolls down a steep slope] I didn't see what happened to them. It must have cut them down.
Well, it's not going to be easy, but I'm afraid we don't have much choice. We'll start off as soon as I'm fit to travel.
Holly
I don't like this idea of yours at all, Hazel.
Holly, I want you to stay here. You're known to them and it could be dangerous for you.
Holly
I've been in Efrafa, and I tell you you're making a bad mistake that might very well get you all killed.
Kehaar [none too quietly]
YAAAAAAH!
Shhhh!
[Confronting Bigwig leading a mass defection of Efrafans]
Bigwig, you traitorous...! [to a subordinate] Captain, get this miserable group back to their Marks. I'll settle you myself, Bigwig. There's no need to take you back.
Come on and try, you cracked-brain slave driver!
Kehaar KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! KAH, KAH, KAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! [swoops down and attacks Woundwort]
Get away! Blast you! Get away, you damn white bird!
