A scene from Watership Down 1978
Holly

[to Fiver]

I remember you. You're the one that saw it coming.

Pipkin

But what happened?

Holly

Our warren, destroyed!

Silver

Destroyed? How?

Holly

Men came. Filled in the burrows. Couldn't get out. There was a strange sound. Hissing. The air turned bad. Runs blocked with dead bodies. I couldn't get out. Everything turned mad. Warren, herbs, roots, grass, all pushed into the earth.

Blackberry

Men have always hated us.

Holly

No. They just destroyed the warren because we were in their way.

In this scene
