Barnaby : Who is it?
Stannie Dum : It's me.
Barnaby : What do you want of this hour of the night?
Stannie Dum : Well, you see, Ollie and I are sorry for what happened this afternoon, and just to show you that we're not mad at you, we brought you a little Christmas present. It's from me and from Ollie.
Barnaby : [incredulously] Christmas present in the middle of July?
Stannie Dum : Oh, oh, yes. you see, we always do our Christmas shopping early. If you'll open the door, I'll bring it right in for you.
Barnaby : I'll be right down.
-
Barnaby : Big bait catches big rat!
-
Barnaby : You may go.
Ollie Dee : Thank you, sir.
Stannie Dum : Does that mean we're free?
Barnaby : Yes... And from now on, you and I are going to be very close friends.
Ollie Dee : [disappointed; indicates to Stannie] Does that mean that he doesn't have to be dunked?
Barnaby : Yes.
Stannie Dum : Isn't that nice?
Ollie Dee : What?
Stannie Dum : He and I are just like that. And I don't have to get wet.
Ollie Dee : Oh, is that so?
[shoves Stannie into the pond]

Barnaby : Good morning, my pretty little butterfly.
Bo-Peep : Good morning, Mr. Barnaby.
Barnaby : [shows her the flowers] I bring you a little bouquet. A fragrant token of my deep devotion.
Bo-Peep : [takes the flowers from him] Thank you very much, Mr. Barnaby. And now, I have to leave you, sir. My... my sheep are...
Barnaby : [stops her with his cane] Indeed... I have longer admired you, gazed with wonder on your sweet and maidenly virtue, marveled at your tender loveliness. In short: I'm asking you to become my wife.
Bo-Peep : I... I'm sorry, Mr. Barnaby. And I hope you won't think me ungrateful, But...
Barnaby : I'm a very rich man, my dear.
Bo-Peep : Please.
Barnaby : Think carefully, child. Less I resort to other means. And that would be an ugly way to win a pretty wife.
Bo-Peep : I wouldn't marry you if you were young, which you can't be. If you were honest which you never were and if you were about to die, tomorrow which is too much to hope for!
[drops the flower on him]
Barnaby : We shall meet again, my pretty little buttercup. And then you will sing to a different tune.
[Sheep bleating at him, Barnaby snarls at the sheep, sheep runs away]
-
Barnaby : You see, child? Such folly. Wasting your affection on a common pignapper.
Bo-Peep : Let me go, let me go! Tom-Tom is innocent and you know it.
[hitting Barnaby]
Bo-Peep : I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!
[crying]
Ollie Dee : Just a minute, just a minute!
[as he carries Little Elmer]
Crowd : It's Little Elmer!
Old King Cole : Silence.
Ollie Dee : Mr. Majesty? Tom-Tom was innocent. We found Little Elmer in Barnaby's cellar!
[Everyone in Toyland gasps]
Townsman : Let's get him!
[All of Toyland people chasing Barnaby]
-
Barnaby : Friends of Toyland... I want you all to meet: The future Mrs. Silas Barnaby.
[All the Toyland people are booing]
-
Barnaby : Your majesty? What are we waiting for?
Old King Cole : Oh, yes... Proceed with the dunking!
[laughing, Dunker comes to them and unlocking the foot stocks]
Dunker : Come on... You're first. Come on.
[Ollie waving to Stannie]
Stannie Dum : Ollie?
Ollie Dee : What?
Stannie Dum : Here.
[comes back to Stannie Dum]
Stannie Dum : You better give me your watch. I'll hold it for you until you come out.
[Ollie takes the watch from his pocket and give it to Stannie]
Ollie Dee : Thanks. Now, take good care of it. Because, I wouldn't have anything happen to that to the world.
Stannie Dum : I will.
Ollie Dee : Good-bye.
Stannie Dum : Good-bye.
Dunker : Come on?
Ollie Dee : All right.
[Dunker takes him to the dunking chair]
Barnaby : Splendid!
[cackling]
-
Barnaby : Idiot! Dog! Imbecile! Pig!
-
Barnaby : How do you do, my dear Mrs. Peep?
Widow Peep : How do you do, Mr. Barnaby?
Barnaby : And how's your charming daughter, Miss Bo-Peep?
Widow Peep : Very well, thank you.
Barnaby : Then, May I be permitted to pay my respect?
Widow Peep : Sorry. But, she's out tending her sheep.
Barnaby : Thank you.

[Silas Barnaby ties Little Elmer up in his hall, cackling]
Barnaby : Sit still. There.
[takes his hat, to his minion]
Barnaby : Take this evidence and place it in Tom-Tom's house.
[gives him the hat and violin, grabs the sausages, laughs]
Barnaby's Minion : Master? Why's the sausage?
Barnaby : That will prove that he not only stole the pig. But, that he also ground him into sausage.
[His minion nods, walks away and turns back to Elmer]
Barnaby : And now, Little Elmer... Heh-heh. We shall see.
-
Bo-Peep : Your majesty, you've made a horrible mistake. Tom-Tom knows nothing about this. He's been with me all day.
[turns to Widow Peep]
Bo-Peep : Hasn't he, mumsie?
Widow Peep : That's right, your majesty.
Barnaby : Why not it's the law takes its course, your majesty?
[Toyland crowd yelling]
-
Barnaby : Run over and tell the bride that all is in readiness - and her *lover* is waiting.
