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!

[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.

Dialogue

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!

Dialogue

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 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?

Merida: Just take all the time you need to get yourself right, Mom. And maybe in a bit you might have something new to say on the marriage. Queen Elinor: [groaning] What was in that cake? Merida: Cake? [Suddenly, Elinor rolls off the bed in pain] Mom? So, I'll just tell them the wedding's off then. Mom? [hears a growling noise from where Elinor rolled of down the bed. She walks round to see if Elinor is fine, she sees a giant shapes under the blanket. It rises from the floor and the blanket falls off, revealed Elinor has transformed into a bear, making her scream in terror] Bear! Mom? You're a BEAR! Why, a bear?!

Dialogue

Lord Macintosh: Well, since you've obviously made up your minds about this, I have one thing to say: This is- Young Macintosh: [interrupting in a gleeful tone] A GRAND IDEA! [to his father] Give us our own say in choosing our fate. Lord Macintosh: [stunned with outrage] WHAT?! Wee Dingwall: Aye, why shouldn't we choose? Lord Dingwall: [also stunned] But she's the princess! Wee Dingwall: I didn't pick her out. It was your idea. Lord MacGuffin: [to his son] And you, you feel the same way? Young MacGuffin: [in a thick accent] It's just not fair making us fight for the hand of a quean who doesn't want any bit of it. Good?
