Brave

Queen Elinor: Where are you? Come out, come out, come on out! I'm coming to get you! [Young Merida laughs as she hides under the table] Where are you, you little rascal? I'm coming to get you! [looks under the table but Merida quickly moves to hide somewhere else] Hmm, where is my little birthday girl? I'm going to gobble her up when I find her! [Merida comes up behind her and goes to run away, but she catches her] I'm going to eat you! [as she and Merida play, Fergus places his bow on the table] Ach! Fergus, no weapons on the table! Young Merida: Can I shoot an arrow? [picks up the large bow from the table] Can I, can I, can I, can I? Please, can I? [falls and laughs as the bow is too big for her] King Fergus: Not with that. Why not use your very own? [presents her with a small bow] Happy birthday, my wee darling! Now, there's a good girl. Draw all the way back now to your cheek. That's right. Keep both eyes open. And, loose! Young Merida: I missed... Queen Elinor: Go and fetch it, th

King Fergus: [telling a story] Then out of nowhere, the biggest bear you've ever seen! His hide littered with the weapons of fallen warriors! His face scarred with one dead eye. I drew my sword and... Princess Merida: [cuts in] WHOOSH! One swipe, his sword shattered, then CHOMP! Dad's leg was clean off! Down the monster's throat it went! King Fergus: Aww, that's my favorite part! Merida: Mor'du has never been seen since and is roaming the wilds, waiting his chance at revenge. [roars] King Fergus: Let him return. I'll finish what I guddled in the first place.

Queen Elinor: Merida, a princess does not place her weapons on the table. Merida: [moans] Mom, it's just my bow. Queen Elinor: A princess should not have weapons in my opinion. King Fergus: Leave her be! Princess or not, learning to fight is essential. Merida: [removes her bow off the table] Mom, you'll never guess what I did today. Queen Elinor: [not really listening] Mmm-hmm? Merida: I climbed up the Crone's Tooth and drank from the Fire Falls. King Fergus: Fire Falls? They say only the ancient kings were brave enough to drink the fire. Queen Elinor: [looks up from the documents she's reading; to Merida] What did you do, dear? Merida: [disappointed] Nothing, Mom. Queen Elinor: Hungry, aren't we? Merida: Mom!

King Fergus: Oh, come on, now! Pretend I'm Merida, speak to me. What would you say? Queen Elinor: I can't do this! King Fergus: Sure, you can! [Queen Elinor gives him a skeptical look] There, there! That's my queen! All right, here we go. [takes a deep breath and speaks in a shrilly voice, impersonating Merida] "I don't want to get married! I want to stay single and let my hair flow in the wind as I ride through the glen, firing arrows into the sunset!" [smiles and nods] Queen Elinor: [smiles, and takes a deep breath] Merida, all this work, all the time spent preparing you, schooling you, giving you everything we never had. I ask you, what do you expect us to do? Merida: [in the royal stables; taking care of Angus and rehearsing her own speech] Call off the gathering! Would that kill them? You're the queen. You can just tell the lords, "The princess is not ready for this. In fact, she might not ever be ready for this, so that's that. Good day to you. We'll expect your declarations of w

Lord Dingwall: I heard that! Come on, say it to my face, or are you scared simperin' jackanapes, 'fraid to muss your pretty hair?! Lord Macintosh: At least we have hair! Lord MacGuffin: And all our teeth! Young MacGuffin: [in a thick accent] If he was a wee bit closer, I could lob a caber at him, ye ken? Lord Macintosh: [confused at first, then regains composure] And we don't hide under bridges, you grumpy old troll! Lord Dingwall: You wanna laugh, huh? [to his son] <big><big>WEE DINGWALL!</big></big>

Merida: [after Young MacGuffin shoots and misses] I bet he wishes he was tossing cabers. King Fergus: Or holding up bridges...
