Head scoffey sculled dreamer.
Doubt prevented Fox from taking revenge.
Angry with his father, bold ran off, only to be captured by scoffeyes.
Fox went to bold's rescue, but the cop had already escaped, and Fox was then trapped.
Only the intervention of Weasel saved him.
Angrily Fox turned on bold, as for you.
This park just isn't big enough for both of us, is it Dad?
So say goodbye.
Forever.
Bold.
Come back.
Come back.
Come back.
Come back.
Call.
Any real Fox would turn up his nose at a scrap like that.
Its food isn't it?
Its unfair on those weaker than yourself, who would have been glad of a ready meal.
Okay.
I'll leave you some.
How about that?
Well, if you put it that way, Johnson, your luck aren't you?
What do you mean?
Out and about in daylight.
Aren't you afraid of the humans?
What humans?
You can mock, but you'll be sorry.
Rabish, why don't you come and eat?
I will.
When you've gone.
Too cautious by half.
That young cop's in for a nasty shock.
One of these days?
Why don't you call at all?
短, she ain't shut it up
oh
I don't want to hurt you. Is this your set?
I'm sorry.
I've not seen you before, have I?
I'm new around here. My nose led me.
The fesants? Yes, a lot of foxes come, but they don't stay.
Why? Get bored of the taste or what?
The human kills them. He wants the fesants for himself.
Surely you can spare a few.
Here, have it for the use of your set.
Thank you.
Plenty more where that came from.
Be careful.
I'm sorry.
See who I mean?
I refuse to live in fear of man or beast.
Who should I?
See, I'm bald and I'm free. Got it?
Bold was not aware of the gamekeeper's trap.
He thought his problems were now far behind him, but back in white dear park.
His old friends still lived in fear.
Help! Thanks my wife!
Scarface, I should have dealt with him earlier.
The hairs weren't on Farthingland. He's within his rights.
He did it to spite us.
Oh, he is very spiteful, isn't he, measly?
Oh, yeah, I'd say spite incarnate is.
You had no proof. But what to do? To do?
I know what I'm going to do.
I'm bringing my family back to live on Farthingland, that's what.
You've got to shoot that Scarface out.
Scarface out, yeah.
The ooth means more than ever now.
Everyone will look to you, Fox.
Yes, but we don't want to start a war between the blue foxes and Farthingwood.
He who lives by stealth shall die by stealth.
I see.
So you're saying he killed Dreamer in such a way none of us knew it was him.
Now we've got to kill him in the same way.
Did I say that?
You know you did you pompous old bird.
She should get married. That had soon sold her out.
She'll get married, yeah.
Won't be so pompous then.
Come, Fus, yeah.
It's not that I haven't had my chances.
I've just never found any out to match me.
I bet you haven't.
I bet she hasn't.
I'll be quiet.
Now, who do we know who kills by stealth?
I don't know.
That weasel will be the death of me.
She's right all the same.
You two know her favorite spots, don't you?
So you want to be helpful, eh?
Prove you really are with us?
Right. Take out her a message from me.
Tell her, Fox says he who rids me of the blue fox will be doing me a great service.
Got it?
Got it.
Get off!
Get off yourself.
Get on with it.
Stealth isn't usually your way, Fox.
I hope you won't regret it.
Mind your keeping your eyes peeled.
We're supposed to be guarding Farthingland as you will know.
Oh, yes, dear.
To think I wanted a mate.
Rhyrmatic nonsense.
Where are you?
That's funny.
I could have swore I saw around here yesterday.
She's here somewhere.
Ah!
Is there no peace?
Not for the wicked!
We've got an important message for you.
What did you have to go and tell her like that for?
You spilt it now?
Where's your night, teller?
Because you're not Farthingward at all, eh?
That's right.
Don't think I'm gonna do with anything.
Fox gave me the message too.
Oh, look! She's gone again!
That's your fault, Bays.
Oh, is it my fault?
Oh, is Arguim, that's your trouble?
Yeah, think for yourself.
I would if you'd let me, but you're always interrupted, aren't you?
Never let me finish your sentence.
Nice to be called. I never get a chance to start a sentence.
Always taking it on yourself, aren't you?
I am.
There she is.
Eh, we've got a message for you from Fox.
Fox? He sent you to the message for me.
He wants you to kill a fox for him.
This is stupid.
But he does.
Els, can you act to be done by still?
That is what a fox chose you.
What did he say?
He said, oh wait a minute, let me get it right.
He said.
Shut up!
No, he didn't say that.
He said, tell Adda, he who reads me, I mean him, of, er,
Merald did he put it up?
Something blue, Fox.
I don't think you've met us, don't you?
Anyway, he said they'd be doing him a service, but there you are.
Are you sure he said that?
Yes!
So, he wants me to kill a blue fox, does he?
Yes!
Definitely.
That's why he said, where he's all didn't he?
Yes, definitely indeed.
Well, if that's what he wants.
Doing him a service, he said.
His wish is my command.
Good!
Well, that's how I've done, Macy.
Yes, Wazel, I've done well, Dan, I'd say.
Speedy, isn't it your turn yet?
I can't stand, God.
I've found too many other things to do.
Yes, dear.
I think the romance may have gone out of our relationship.
Hi there.
Don't come any closer.
I'm on Farthingland.
Would I hurt anything so lovely?
What's your name?
Charmer.
I can see why.
What's yours?
My friends call me Ranger.
Are you Scarface's son?
Sure.
Look, don't blame me.
I didn't choose my parents.
Neither did you.
I wouldn't have chosen any different.
But we don't need to let their quarrel come between us.
Do we?
What do you mean?
How can we be friends?
We even look different.
But we feel the same.
Don't we?
I don't know.
You must understand I'm a Farthing fox.
I'm bound by the oath.
Ah, the oath.
I've heard about that.
You will sway the protect one another.
Well, surely that was just your parents.
Once a Farthing fox, always a Farthing fox.
And so it was to prove, even outside the confines of White Deer Park.
Let me help you.
Just keep still.
Every movie you make it tightens its grip.
There must be a way to release the catch.
Now I've got to have to bite through the wire.
Oh!
Sorry.
This may take some time.
I can't last for long.
The pain's terrible.
Oh.
Don't give up.
I won't.
Go!
I have a chance.
Oh!
Oh!
Well, I will beat.
Why did you do it?
That trap was meant for me.
All the more reason for you to stay away from it.
I'm going to beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
All the more reason for you to stay away from it.
He might have caught you.
He didn't.
And now you're wounded.
I'm all right.
You're not like other foxes, are you?
You must put as many miles between you and man as you can.
He won't rest till he's got you.
Not before I've had my supper.
I'm going to beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
This is for you.
You won't need to hunt tonight.
Thank you.
I'll always be your friend.
If you ever need me.
Thank you.
I'll remember that.
I'm going to beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
You won't need to hunt tonight.
Oh.
I'm going to beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
Oh.
I'll beat you.
I'll beat you.
I'm going to beat you.
Thank you very much.
What did you come for?
Very usual forty wigs.
Oh, can't look to you for sparking conversation then can I?
If you're bored, why don't you go and see what adders up to?
Why? I say what's going on?
Let's just say Scarface's days are numbered.
She's not going to
Shh, this I've got to see.
But how can I?
She's got me standing guard again.
It's all right for her going in and out of the cool water.
Put your foot down.
I would.
You're right, Owl.
Enough really is enough.
Speedy?
Speedy?
Speedy?
Speedy?
It's your turn to stand guard.
Oh really?
Do I have to?
If you're so worried about Scarface, you'll stand guard.
Thanks Owl, I did it.
And not before time.
Well really, meals, I don't know.
Irresponsible, that's what it is.
They're all the same of course, always thinking of themselves.
Never a thought for my safety.
I know, I'll figure it out and join himself.
Hi.
Oh you, founder.
It's your watch.
Anything ugly out there, Ranger.
No, not nothing.
Nothing moving anywhere.
Too hot.
See any of those red foxes about?
No.
I could just roll up and wait for my victim to step on me.
I suppose he might die of shots.
But it wouldn't be the same.
Get off
Oh no!
She's got the wrong fox.
Sorry! Didn't have time to prepare my landing.
A word of advice, old son.
Yes, fox?
If ever you and speedy have chicks,
let her teach them how to fly eggs.
I'm not going to let you.
I'm not going to let you.
I'm not going to let you.
I'm not going to let you.
Let her teach them how to fly eggs.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Point, taken.
Is something wrong, Whistler?
I don't know. You tell me.
Ed has just bitten a blue fox.
I think she may have killed it.
Excellent news, eh, Molly?
Yes, Patrick.
Hang on a minute, Whistler.
You said, Edda got a blue fox.
Precisely.
Which one?
Being familiar with Scarface's entire tribe,
I cannot say. Which is why?
You mean it wasn't her, Scarface?
Definitely not.
I take it, Edda got it wrong.
Too right, she got it wrong.
Now we're in trouble.
Hmm. It's that weasel, isn't it?
Hmm.
She was looking for Edda earlier.
Did she deliver the wrong message?
I should have known better than to send her.
I should have known she'd make a mess of it.
Makes me wonder who sides she's on, doesn't it, you?
I bet she did it on purpose.
But who did add a strike?
Does it matter?
The point is, it wasn't Scarface.
Why do you want to know, Charmer?
Oh, no reason.
Onlyit would be a shame if it was a young cop.
Oh, if it was, then it wasn't one of this years.
Big fella, he was.
Oh, good.
What difference does it make if it was this years or last?
The point is, if it was one of Scarface's tribe,
he'll be after revenge.
He's bound to suspect the Farthingwood animals.
We'd better be ready, Dad.
Ready? You mean ready to defend ourselves?
No.
We've got to attack.
We've got to get him before he gets us.
That's all there is to it.
Ah
You sound just like Scarface.
Perhaps we older ones should let the young ones sort things out.
What madness.
Friendly might be game, but he's not up to Scarface yet.
That isn't what I meant.
What? Vixen meant?
If you don't mind me saying so, Fox,
is that you and I aren't gay.
You and I aren't getting any younger.
Speak for yourself.
Oh, I see.
Don't be upset, Badger. Fox didn't mean it.
Be quiet.
You don't know what you're talking about, your old caja.
It was one of the young ones as you call them that got us into this trouble in the first place.
So I don't know what I'm talking about, don't I?
Vixen, no point in staying, is there?
I wonder how life's treating our poor bold.
Poor bold? He deserves whatever he gets.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
