The Tale of Desperaux2008

Hovis:
[approaches Despereaux] Come with me.

[Despereaux goes with Hovis]

Hovis:
Stand there.

[Despereaux stands on the spool, Hovis searches through the threads, picks the red string]

Despereaux:
Red?

Hovis:
Uh, so they tell me. [as he ties the red thread around Despereaux's string] So, you're the brave one.

Despereaux:
I guess.

Hovis:
It's good. It'll carry well down there. Wear it proudly. It's not shame. It's time.

[the scene cuts to Hovis and Despereaux going to the dungeon]

Hovis:
[referring to the other mice] It's alright, they're too scared to come down here.

Despereaux:
[looks down in the dungeon] In there?

Hovis:
I'm afraid so. Courage, right?

Despereaux:
And truth. And honor.

Hovis:
Good. But especially courage.

Despereaux:
[walks to the edge of the plank] I'm ready.

Hovis:
Alright. Then you need to... [his machine goes loose]

[Despereaux falls in the dungeon and Hovis slows down his machine which slows down Despereaux's fall. Despereaux swings over to a wall and goes in a window]
