Watership Down1978

Chief Rabbit:
Now, Walnut. It is Walnut, isn't it?

Hazel:
No, sir. Hazel.

Chief Rabbit:
Hazel. I knew your mother well. And your friend?

Hazel:
My brother, sir. Fiver.

Chief Rabbit:
Your brother. Now, do tell me how I can help you.

Hazel:
Well, he says there's a bad danger coming to our warren.

Chief Rabbit:
A bad danger? How very upsetting. Now, what sort of danger, I wonder?

Fiver:
I don't know, but it's bad! It's so bad!

Chief Rabbit:
Well, now. What ought we to do?

Fiver:
Go away! All of us! Now!

Chief Rabbit:
[flabbergasted] Now? In May? The mating season? And where would we go to?

Hazel:
He's had these feelings before, and he's been right again and again.

Chief Rabbit:
I shall have to consider this very carefully. Perhaps we'll discuss it later, in the summer.

Fiver:
[rushes out in a panic] WE CAN'T WAIT, WE CAN'T WAIT!

Chief Rabbit:
It's been good of you to come, Walnut.

[Hazel leaves the burrow, Bigwig is about to follow, but the Chief Rabbit calls for him.]

Chief Rabbit:
Bigwig! [Bigwig doesn't respond and tries to ignore the Chief Rabbit.] Bigwig!

Bigwig:
Sir?

Chief Rabbit:
What was that all about?

Bigwig:
Well, sir--

Chief Rabbit:
Your duty as an officer is to protect this burrow.

Bigwig:
Yes, sir.

Chief Rabbit:
Those two lunatics have better be watched.

Bigwig:
Yes, sir.
