The Animals of Farthing Wood (1993) s03e13 Episode Script
Bully-Bully-Bully
The Great Storm has proved to be a wind of good fortune for many of us.
White deer park is out there waiting for us.
After so long away, Owl and her handsome new mate are coming back to us.
Better still, the weasels have already returned.
That's it Cleo, in you go.
Come on mazely.
And Tray has been replaced as leader of the white deer by a noble stag called Laird.
Please help me friends, you and I, just as you and my grandfather, the great white stag
weavers.
Can we now face the rats and win?
We are nearly there, home, white deer park, fox, ador, weasel, I'm coming home.
Oh, hey boy.
Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy.
This is it, my long-tailed beauties.
The day of our triumph has come.
This morning as the sun climbs into the sky to assume its full magnificence, we shall
attack the animals in our park and kill the lot.
Don't matter what my arm.
Foxes, rabbits, moans, towns, or we, we, we, weasel.
This is a serious matter.
A good thing that I've come back just at this moment.
The fox has his good points, but he's too vague.
Someone must take charge.
And that someone, of course, is me.
You stay here and watch the rats.
I'm going to organise the others.
And don't you dare hoot.
But this time of day what?
I must hoot.
I can't help it, what?
I didn't say you were editing.
Yes, you did.
I just said that I find it entertaining when you eat worms while sitting on my back.
That's not unreasonable.
Is it fiction?
Well, you want me to starve, that's it.
It's a beautiful, cruel budget.
But I'm kind.
Oh, not.
Are those two arguing again?
I think so.
He is cruel.
Oh, I'm very sorry.
Say that you were an unkind, horrible, smelly, badger.
Oh, yes, all right.
I am.
Oh, I forgive you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
What about them?
Seri-ri-ri-t-ti.
I heard that typical.
The whole world is falling down about your whiskers.
And they are leasing about in the sun.
Absolutely typical behaviour.
Oh, I'll do stop nagging.
Ow.
Ow, it's you.
You're back.
You're crying about in the sun.
Lazy dogs.
We're not lazy at all.
We've been out fighting the rats almost every night since you flew away.
That's right.
Yahoo!
Yahoo!
Yahoo!
Macy!
Macy!
Isn't it great to be home again?
Ow?
Ow!
You're back too.
Oh, I'm sorry about what I said.
About you being too cold-hearted, old and tattered to attract a mate.
Oh, really, I'm very sorry.
Yes.
Well, I forgive you.
But I see that even though you've been away all summer, you still didn't manage to find one.
Well, actually
This is hollow.
My mate.
Oh, I
Congratulations.
Yes, well done, Ow.
Pleased to meet you, Hollow.
You're a fine fellow.
I certainly am.
What?
You'll be good at killing rats, I expect.
What?
None better.
None better.
Ow, these gorgeous.
So, ain't some.
Best specimen of an owl I've ever seen.
Speaking as a wiser, we understand.
He's much better than measly in every way.
No, he's not.
She doesn't know, but he's measly twerk.
But you can't compare.
He's
He's an owl.
Oh, she loves me.
She really loves me.
I thought I wasn't seeing things.
The shadow of an owl across the surface of the pond.
Owl.
And you found a mate.
Oh, Adda.
Adda, my old friend.
How I've missed our chats.
Yes, my new mate.
Everyone's been admiring him.
Quite an owl, isn't he?
We'll have to find you a mate next old girl.
Oh, have I said the wrong thing?
Adda had a mate.
A fine handsome snake called Sinyos.
He was so very Sinyos.
But the rats killed him.
Oh.
Oh, my foolish beak.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to.
It's alright, Owl.
You weren't to know.
The rats.
They're scurrying everywhere.
They're messing for an attack.
Bully, bully, bully.
No need to worry about we show sledge.
Look at how many of us there are.
We call mues.
They're coming here.
Millions of them.
More than we've ever seen.
It looked to me as if they were about to mount an attack.
Oh, Fox.
What are we going to do?
Well, um, fight them, I suppose.
There's too many.
If we fight, they'll kill us all.
But if there's nothing else we can do.
Oh, have you any ideas?
Yes, well, we better get organised.
For a circle?
Uh, Colin? What?
My little ones.
They're allowing the forest with that useless dog.
I'll measly do something.
Spike, you're a rat.
Have you any suggestions with my helpers?
Go on, matey. You take charge.
Now come us from all sides of us.
If we hide in the barracks, we'll find they're already there waiting for us.
They'll jump us from out of the trees.
I'm sorry, Fox.
Toad.
But there's really no chance.
We can't win.
Bullying those what he's doing.
You'll kill us all.
Perhaps he doesn't want to fight.
Perhaps he just wants to frighten us away.
I suppose it's possible.
Perhaps if I had a word with him, I could appeal to his better nature.
Oh, how cool.
You see such silly things.
That beastie has no better nature.
Look, if they're going to attack from all sides,
what we need to do is get behind them and surprise them.
If we're lucky, we can force them into the pond.
Brilliant, plucky.
We can go along the stream.
Swim it if we have to.
We'll put it at the boundary fence and then re-enter the part from wherever we like.
Alright, let's do it.
Mosy, there's something important you can do.
Me?
But I'm soft and weak and half blind.
Hurry along one of your tunnels and find Leard.
Tell him what's happening and that we need his help.
He'll know what to do.
But I have to look after Herkul.
Herkul can look after himself.
Don't want it's important.
I'd ask Dash, but I can't find her anyway.
Be careful, Mosy.
See you after the battle.
Come on, let's catch up.
Although it understands,
we've covered every inch of the park.
And hardly found a single animal. Come on, Da.
I'm safe from the way, a great one.
You are all victorious.
It's ours.
This lovely park with higher doors.
May a me lovely wreckies, only there in perfect peace and happiness
and have everything we want.
Go! The blissful times where you have here will show happy!
Dash, there you are.
I had a terrible dream.
I dreamed it.
It's just that we're just throwing that dream.
You'll be killed. You'll never be killed.
Better keep out of the way.
One rat would be too much for you.
Good morning.
Whistler, speedy.
This is my new mate, Hollow.
Isn't it, handsome?
Yes, good morning.
But shouldn't we attack those rats, Da.
We could kill a dozen or so before the others arrive.
We'll do our share.
Don't be killed.
Kill them!
Black now, forever's out.
Pull their big shoes.
War!
War!
Why is底?
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
I'm the girl.
Perhaps I could have a few words with you.
I will.
It's just a village, also,
a necessary, isn't it?
All this violence?
I'm kind.
Coyne, is it?
Show em, I.
Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
Now that I'm leader of the herd,
things are going to be different around here.
You do what I say or else.
Lord, you've got to come.
Plucky said you know what to do.
The rats.
The rats.
Hurry!
Can't you see I'm giving my hands a pet talk?
What a rude little moor you are.
The rats are attacking all the animals in the park.
Fox and the others are doing their best,
but there are millions of rats.
I met five in my tunnel on the way here.
You're going to help aren't you?
Well, are we?
Let's stampede over them and squash the rats.
Who's the leader?
You are!
You are!
Please!
We'll stampede over them and squash the rats.
Look what I found.
My little friend, the towed.
Help my friend down!
Put him down!
Spike!
You wait there!
You're next!
Hello, Herko.
Hello there, Mosti.
How are you, right fox?
Yes, fine. Thank you.
With your help, lad, we won.
Well, this is an exciting place to live, owl.
I'll never get bored here.
What?
Well, Bully, have you had enough now?
You've had your chance and we've beaten you.
Make your choice.
You can gather what's left of your rats together and leave the park.
Or we'll keep on fighting till there's not a rat left alive.
Ehh, shipped me?
Except you, Spike.
Spike, you filthy foxy-faced traitor!
You was my favourite.
My boy, what I loved.
I, I chew now.
More than anything ever I chew.
There isn't a power on earth, what could be Bully?
Bully!
Bully!
Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully!
What do you mean?
This scene was right here.
He'd kill them all.
He would.
I know.
Ah!
Eh, eh! Have you dropped something?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Let's meet.
I'm
Ah!
Ah!
Here we go back to the sewers boss.
Nice smelly sewersy.
Oh, hee hee!
You're a good boy, Brett.
Yeah.
Let's go back where we belong.
We're those nice human beings.
You're not going with him, matey.
No, no.
Oh, my friend, you're here.
I've asked you all here to this place,
because there's something I want to say.
We've won our battle against the rats.
White deer park is ours now.
We can live here in perfect peace,
and practice the ideals we brought here from Farthingwood.
Our troubles are over,
for the time being anyway.
But
I am old.
No, no, no, no, no, I am old and tired.
It's time for me to step down as your leader.
Fox, you can't.
But you're the legendary Fox.
Vixen, I've been thinking about this all summer,
and my decision is final.
Plucky will be your new leader.
Why, plucky?
Why not me?
Ranger.
You're the bravest and finest fox there is.
But plucky is my grandson.
Through him, you have a direct link
with the original spirit of Farthingwood.
Pete, after me, I
name of animal.
You're so solemnly swear.
Do solemnly swear.
Not to swallow anybody,
while en route to this place of Toads.
All right, if that's the way you want it.
It is.
Plucky's the leader! Plucky is!
I am cub. I'm so proud.
Can I be seconding, command?
No, that should be me.
I should be. I'm the cleverest.
I think the kindest should be leader.
It's true. I thought he'd been taken away.
I was.
They mended my leg and put me in another park.
Not far from here.
Yes, I was there.
The walls are pulled down and they're moving the fence that surrounds White Day Park.
They're making this park and that park.
It's a one-grade big park.
Twice the space.
No need for me to be back tempered anymore.
There's plenty of room for us all.
This is wonderful news, Tray.
Would you show me?
Yes, Fox. If you like.
I may be cured of my bad tempers,
but I still don't like weasels.
I'm so happy.
I think that as we're all very tired,
we should go down to the pond for a drink.
Then we'll go back to our nests and burrows and sleep.
We can explore our big new park tomorrow.
And then we will plan how to live together in perfect peace and harmony
in the true spirit of Farmingwood.
We'll go back to the nests and burrows and sleep.
We'll go back to the nests and burrows and sleep.
We'll go back to the nests and burrows and sleep.
