Dialogue
[edit]- Zoé: [with reference to jaws] "Were going to need a bigger island"
- [Lian-Chu and Gwizdo sit by the campfire. Gwizdo is sulking]
- Lian-Chu: What's the matter, Gwizdo? Are you mad?
- Gwizdo: You think, that for once, you could take your job seriously? It's always the same old circus, Lian-Chu. All you do is clown around for the peanut gallery.
- Lian-Chu: But I don't do it on purpose.
- Gwizdo: [scoffing] Yeah, it's a blimey good thing too. Why, pray tell, do you think these hicks never pay?
- Lian-Chu: Because they've got no money?
- Gwizdo: [taking a deep breath] No! They rip us off because you're not credible!
- Lian-Chu: What does credible mean?
- Gwizdo: I dunno, eh... [He grabs Hector by the arm] We'll take Hector here, for example. Hector, with his big fangs and all that fur, well, he's credible. And that's why the hicks are scared of him, you get it? [Lian-Chu looks puzzled and shrugs] You don't get it. [He absent-mindedly drops Hector] Hey, look. A dragon hunter who's credible makes the whole earth shake when he walks, right? [He demonstrates by stomping on the ground] Like, boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom, ba-boom, huh?
- Hector: [laughing] Stupid.
- [Gwizdo smacks Hector upside the head]
- Gwizdo: And if he has to, he smacks his debtors a couple of times. Bim! Bam! Fork over the money! You get the picture?
- Lian-Chu: Hitting clients? That's being credible?
- [Gwizdo sighs loudly]
- Gwizdo: Another example. [He picks up a bag Lian-Chu knitted] You think it's credible? A dragon hunter who likes to knit?!
- Lian-Chu: But I tore a hole in my...
- [Gwizdo snatches Lian-Chu's knitting]
- Gwizdo: YOU GOT MANDULAR BOOGERS ON THE BRAIN OR WHAT? YOU KNUCKLEHEAD, KNITTING'S SOMETHING OLD LADIES DO!
- [Lian-Chu stands up and raises an arm as though he were about to punch Gwizdo in the face. Gwizdo cowers and whimpers. Instead, Lian-Chu snatches back his knitting]
- Lian-Chu: It was my mother who taught me.
- [He storms off. Gwizdo looks ashamed]
- [Gwizdo sees two bats sitting in front of him]
- Gwizdo: D'ahh! What are you doing here?
- [They laugh mockingly]
- Gwizdo: What's this circus all about?!
- [They laugh again]'
- Gwizdo: Wait a sec. What do you girls want? To make me feel guilty? Is that it?
- Gwizdo: Scaredy pants? Yeah, and so what?! Do you think I look like the hero in this fairy tale??
- Gwizdo: ... He won't listen to me!
- Gwizdo: It's all Zoe's fault!!
- [The bats flutter around Gwizdo]
- Gwizdo: SHUT UP! I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO BE SMALL AND POOR!
Gwizdo: EXACTLY! UGLY, AND MEAN! NOW GET OUTTA HERE! SCRAM! JUST SCRAM, BATS! I DON'T BELIEVE IN HEROISM, AND HAPPILY EVER AFTERS, AND ANIMALS THAT TALK!! [He realizes that animals, except possibly Hector, don't talk] Animals... that talk...? [He realizes he's been hallucinating]
