- Blackberry: Bluebell, what do you call a happy rabbit?
- [after a pause]
- Blackberry: A hoptimist.
- [Bluebell giggles]
- Hazel: [to the rabbits rescued from Efrafa] I know that it will take time for me to earn your trust and hopefully your friendship. But it is a privilege for me to do so and to serve each and every one of you, both old and new. You have fought so hard to earn your freedom. But now you must fight to keep it. Because the battle for liberty is one which has no end and if we fall fighting, if we stop running, then at least we knew what it was like to run. I stand here not asking you to follow me, but to follow each other. Let's help raise each other to our strongest selves. Let's go home.
- Hazel: Maybe some humans do understand that all living things suffer, that all living things deserve respect.
- Hawkbit: Hello, Strawberry. Dandelion and I have something to say. Well, I'm going to say it because he speaks about once a fortnight. But the thing is, we're both rather fond of you
- [chuckling]
- Hawkbit: and, well, we'd appreciate it if you made a decision which of us you like.
- Strawberry: [pauses] Oh, Brambles, right.
- [hesistating]
- Strawberry: I'd forgotten about that. This is... Can I take some time to think about it?
- Hawkbit: Of course, of course. But be quick
- [chuckling]
- Hawkbit: because there are more does around now and, well, two eligible bucks like us are bound to get snapped up fast.
- Dandelion: [after she leaves] Why did you say that last bit? You didn't say the last bit when we rehearsed it!
- Hawkbit: I don't know, maybe I don't want to end up alone forever.
- Sainfoin: The men say they heard a noise, a great wailing. You don't think that bird's back?
- General Woundwort: If you mention that bird one more time, I will destroy you. Campion, prepare to follow me in, but not too close, in case we're ambushed.
- Captain Campion: I will not.
- General Woundwort: You dare disobey me? What kind of a soldier are you?
- Captain Campion: I'd rather be a good rabbit than a good soldier, sir.
- General Woundwort: Orchis, finish him. Sainfoin, come with me.
- Captain Orchis: That's under the command of Captain Campion to join my Battalion.
- Captain Campion: All bucks under my command are dismissed.
- Captain Orchis: Leave here and you'll be hunted down.
- [chucking]
- Captain Orchis: You'll be dead!
- Captain Campion: [threateningly] My rank equal you may be, Orchis, but my equal in combat you are not. I strongly advise you to step away from me.
- General Woundwort: I don't care whether it takes one Frith or a thousand, you will find the outsiders who stole our does. And when you do, we will destroy their warren and leave no trace of them on this earth. And to those of you who tremble in the wake of birds, or foxes, or any of the thousand enemies of rabbits, I say this. In Efrafa, we run from no elil. We are the elil!
- General Woundwort: Are you afraid, Sergeant?
- Sainfoin: [nervously] Maybe. Maybe I am afraid.
- General Woundwort: You disgust me! If you expire serving this warren, you should consider yourself fortunate to have the glory of such a death! Those of you not loyal to me invite outsiders to steal our does, men to kill us, and elil to bring us the white blindness. Those of you not loyal to me hate Efrafa.
- Hazel: Fiver, what are you doing here?
- Fiver: I just came to say sorry for not being able to help us.
- Hazel: No, no, no. Fiver, stop.
- Fiver: For not being able to see clearly. You were right. What use am I if I don't have my visions?
- Hazel: Fiver, listen to me. Your friendship is worth more to me than any vision and it always will. Now, by the time Inle rises, our bodies may lie broken, but what connects us is unbreakable.
