Dialogue

Dave: Oh! There you are! I am so glad you're okay. Do you know how much flying around I have done looking for you? I thought that maybe the miller caught you and was gonna eat you. Bo: Eat me? Yeah, I don't think he was gonna do that. Dave: You don't know?! He had crazy in his eyes! So keep it down. He's still out there someplace. Bo: Do you think he heard? Dave: Nah, I think we're good here. This is the last place he'd check. Nothing special ever happens in an old shack like this.

Abby: The room was filled with magical light. And then the angel said that the child will be the new king! [the crowd of mice and pigeons oohs and ahs] Oh, and I thought: "I'm not ready to be a mom!", [referring to Mary] but then I realized the angel was talking to the lady. [the crowd runs away in fright] No, wait! I'm not done! That's usually everyone's favorite part. Rufus: Nice story, rat! Here's how it ends! [eats Abby] The end. Thaddeus: Rufus, spit it out. We need that rat to talk. Abby: [pops out of Rufus's mouth] Ho! I'm not a rat. I'm a pygmy jerboa. Rufus: What's a jerboa? Abby: It is in the rodent family, but an entirely different species. [Rufus sucks her back in] Thaddeus: Rufus, enough. Spit it out! Rufus: Aw, I was just starting to get a little bit of the flavor!

[laughs nervously]

Dialogue

Ruth: Have you, uh, ever been to Bethlehem before? Bo: We've never been anywhere before. Ruth: Oh, well, you're in for a treat. The Samaritan Mountains are beautiful this time of year. Deadly steep but great views. Bo: You've been to Bethlehem? Ruth: Are you kidding? [jumps down from the rock] I grew up around here. I know all the ins and outs, how to avoid predators and treacherous high cliffs. Dave: [laughing nervously] The treacherous...cliffs. [whispers to Bo] You're not really considering this, are you?

Mary, this is not going well, alright? I just promised 4 people I'd repair the carts that he smashed! Dave: Yeah, tryna save her life. Ruth: Maybe if you pulled the cart, Joseph would want you to stay. Joseph: No, he's just too much to deal with. Mary: He's just a donkey. Joseph: "Just a donkey"? Yeah, he is. Just a good-for-nothing donkey that has only ever brought us trouble. Bo: [feels ashamed and walks away] C'mon, Dave. Let's go. Dave: [lands on Bo's back] Where are we going? Bo: Where do you think? To join the Royal Caravan. Where we'll finally do something important. Ruth: [hesitates to choose who to follow, then tries to convince Bo] Hey, Bo, wait a minute. What about the star? It means something. You said so yourself. Bo: You follow the star. I'm done with that. Ruth: But what about our tiny flock? [laug

Dialogue

Bo: [his ears move up, he hears the bells of the Royal Caravan ringing, he guts up on his feet] Is that the Royal Caravan? Dave: I can see them! Bo: Whoa! [he runs toward the Royal Caravan, but notices the strip of cloth flying from his leg and rethinks for a moment] Dave: Royal Caravan-van-van-van! The Royal Caravan! Whoo-hoo! Bo: Dave? I don't think I can go with you. Dave: Of course you can. Whaddaya mean? Bo: Look, um... I-I know we've always talked about joining the Royal Caravan, being a part of something important. But...now that we're here, I don't think this is it. Y'know, Mary may not be big and royal, but...she's important. She's important to me. I know this was our dream, and even though I can't come, I think you should go. Say hi to the horses for me. Dave: [pause] Oh, c'mon. Bo: No, really, I mean it. Dave: Bo, yes, you're right. The Royal Caravan was our dream. [turns to Bo] But the best part was that it was gonna be us. [flies to land on Bo's back] If all I wanted was t

Felix: That's what I been sayin'. You need to get your ears checked. Deborah: Boys, focus. The new king's in danger. Felix: Right. Let's go find him. Cyrus: They secured our restraints! Felix: Yeah, and they tied us up too! Deborah: We have to find the new king. Cyrus: Wise men indeed. Deborah: Okay, okay, think. What do kings look like? Cyrus: In most cultures, a king is set apart from the plebeians with ornamental headdress. Felix: An ornamel what? Deborah: They wear hats. Felix: [spots a man wearing a hat] Ooh? [starts shouting] They're comin' for you, your Majesty! Run for your life! [the man runs away] Run like the wind! Deborah: Will you cut that out? We'll never find him tied up here. We have to go out and search. Felix: That's it! I'm biting through the reins! Cyrus: [stops Felix] Ah! Don'

Dialogue

Thaddeus: Well, well. Look who it is. Rufus: [growls] We should've eaten him the first time we met him! Thaddeus: But, Rufus, if we had eaten him, he would never have let us here. [to Bo] We've been meaning to thank you. Now be a good little donkey and run along. You've served your purpose. Bo: You guys are... You guys are pretty scary, yeah. And you might be stronger than I am. [closes the stable door] But if you wanna get to my friends, you're gonna have to get past me first. Rufus: No problem, donkey! "Getting past you" is my middle name! [charges toward Bo] Bo: [distracts Rufus] What is that? Rufus: What's what?! [realizes he's been distracted] I wasn't supposed to look, was I? Bo: Donkey kick!
