Smudge: [whistles to the other rats] Lads, let's go, on the double.
[Gregory wakes up and the rats flee to the grates]
Gregory: [picks up his lamp] Who is that? Who goes there? Who is that?
Despereaux: Despereaux Tilling.
Gregory: Are you a man or are you a mouse? [his lamp shines onto Despereaux]
Despereaux: I...am a gentleman [Gregory picks him up by his tail]
Pack Rat #1: It's a mouse!
Pack Rat #2: I'm hungry!
Smudge: Shh! Quiet, lads. Patience.
Gregory: [as he sits down] And what makes you...a gentleman?
Despereaux: A code... A code of honor.
Gregory: Ah-ha! You're a strange little mouse, aren't you? And where'd you find this "code of honor"?
Despereaux: [as he partly slips out of Gregory's knuckle] Well, in a legend. A legend that I read.
Gregory: Fine. Well, tell me this legend of yours. I could do with a good story right now.
Despereaux: Well, it's about a princess and a knight. And his quest to save her honor.
Gregory: Ah, it was the princess who took away my soup.
Despereaux: She didn't take it. In fact, she misses it too!
Gregory: How'd you know all this?
Despereaux: I've seen her.
Gregory: [gasps] Seen her?
Despereaux: I've talked to her.
Gregory: Talked to her?
Despereaux: That's why they sent me down here.
Gregory: Hmm. And what did this princess tell you when you had your little audience? Eh? [laughs briefly] Oh, you must be a royal mouse. Is that it?
Despereaux: She told me that she missed the soup. And the rain. And, most of all, the sunlight. And that she just wanted it all to come back again.
Gregory: [pause] Well, I don't wanna hear your little stories about princesses and sunshine. [stands up] Go tell them to the rats! [throws Despereaux to the floor, walks out]
Smudge: Alright, boys, c'mon! [him and the other rats went after Despereaux, except Roscuro who stayed behind]
