Hyzenthlay Hyzenthlay, sir.
I'll be frank with you. You're safe here. Well, get on with it!
Hyzenthlay Sir, several of us propose an expedition for...a new warren. Somewhere else.
A new warren?! Out of the question!
Hyzenthlay Oh, but you don't understand. The system is breaking down.
Hyzenthlay Some of us can't produce litters; we're overcrowded.
I want no further discussion about it!
Hyzenthlay We'll go as far as you like!
Hyzenthlay I... [she is approached threateningly by Captain Campion] Thank you, sir. [leaves]
Campion, have her watched.
Hyzenthlay Sir?
I'd like to talk with you.
Hyzenthlay I'm in the Mark and under your orders, sir.
Do you remember a pale grey rabbit called Holly you helped escape some while ago?
Hyzenthlay You've made a mistake, sir.
Listen, Hyzenthlay. Listen carefully. I'm from a warren where life is free. Where you can do is as you wish. I've come to bring you all out of Efrafa.
Hyzenthlay You might be a spy, sent by the Council.
You know I'm not. Will you join us? And persuade your friends as well, trust me. My friends are not far away.
Hyzenthlay [Voice is breaking]
My courage, my... spirit is so much less than it was.
We can escape Efrafa. Believe me.
Hyzenthlay Yes... I think I do.
Hyzenthlay Sometimes I can tell when things are true. Sometimes... I can see it... The high down with trees, and... [shakes head] I've become foolish.
[referring to Fiver]
You'll have to meet this friend of mine. He talks just like that.
Hyzenthlay When?
Get them to the near hind mark at sunset, just before early silflay.
Hyzenthlay Suppose something happens?
Nothing will happen. We can do it.
Hyzenthlay Yes. I think we can. Sometimes I can tell when things are true. Sometimes... I can see it. The high down with trees, and... [shakes head] I've become foolish.
[referring to Fiver]
You'll have to meet this friend of mine. He talks just like that.
Hyzenthlay We'll be ready.
Sunset, then. And a bird will fight for us.
Hyzenthlay A bird?
Even Woundwort won't expect that.
