Dialogue

Taran: Have you seen my pig? Gurgi: Piggy? Round, fat piggy? Big snout! Taran: Yes, yes. Gurgi: Curly tail! Taran: That's her! That's Hen Wen! Gurgi: Uh-uh, nope. Gurgi has not seen piggy. Nope.

Dialogue

Eilonwy: I'm Princess Eilonwy. Are you a lord, or a warrior? Taran: Uh, no. Uh... I-I-I'm an assistant pig-keeper. Eilonwy: Oh, what a pity. I was so hoping for someone who could help me escape. Oh well, if you want to come with me, you may.

Dialogue

Taran: I wasn't afraid! Eilonwy: Not afraid?! Why, we were running for our lives! Taran: Well, I got us out of the castle, didn't I? Eilonwy: You?! I'd say it was the sword's magic. Taran: But it takes a great warrior to handle a sword like this! Eilonwy: But still, it is a magic sword! Taran: Humph! What does a girl know about swords anyway?! Eilonwy: Girl? Girl?! If it weren't for this, girl, you would still be in the Horned King's dungeon! Fflewddur: Here now, now. Princess Eilonwy, Taran– Eilonwy: Well at least I don't keep talking about it forever! Oh, you're so, so bored! Fflewddur: Princess Eilonwy! Eilonwy: How dare you take his side! Fflewddur: Well I really didn't mean to-to-to... interfere, heh, heh! Taran: Silly girl! Even if she is a princess! Fflewddur: We are going to have to- to to... Oh, dear.

Dialogue

Fflewddur: Help! Murder! Hurry! Gurgi: Ha, ha! Gurgi's lucky day! [picks up Fflewddur's hat] Wow! Fflewddur: Yes! Keep it! It's a gift! Gurgi: [picks up Fflewddur's harp] Oh, this! Gurgi want this! Fflewddur: Take it! I'm sure you've murdered for less! Ugh!

Dialogue

Fflewddur: So nice to meet you ladies. Uh, goodbye! Orwen: Wait! My, aren't you the handsome one! Fflewddur: Who? Who? M-m-m-m-m, me?! Orwen: Oh, honestly now! Don't you find me irresistible? Fflewddur: Yes. Quite so! [harp string snaps] Sush! Stop that!

Dialogue

Eilonwy: No, Taran! No! Taran: [to Eilonwy] It's our only chance! [to Orddu, sadly] Here is my sword. Take it! Orddu: This is your own choice, duckling. Remember, with this sword you could be the greatest of warriors! Taran: Yes. I offer you my dearest possession, in exchange for the Black Cauldron. Orddu: Agreed! We have made a bargain.

Dialogue

Orddu: I say, what funny little ducklings! Don't they know that the Black Cauldron is indestructible? Now listen carefully. The Black Cauldron can never be destroyed. Only its evil powers can be stopped. Taran: Then there is a way. But how? Orddu: A living being must climb into it of his own free will. Gurgi: Gurgi is bold and brave. He will climb into the evil cauldron. Orddu: However, the poor duckling will never climb out alive. Gurgi: [jumping away from the cauldron] Yikes! Fflewddur: Now look here, madam! Don't forget we have an agreement! Eilonwy: Yes, you said we could have the Cauldron! Orgoch: Of course we said you could have the Cauldron! It's not our fault you can't do anything with it! Orddu: Goodbye, goslings! And remember: we always keep our bargain!

Dialogue

Taran: Doli's right. It's my fault. I let you down. Without my sword, I'm nothing. I'm just an assistant pig-keeper. Eilonwy: Look, you are somebody. You must believe in yourself. I believe in you. Taran: You... you do? And I think that you're... [holds her hands] Uh, I mean... That is.... [draws his hands away in embarrassment] Eilonwy: Yes, Taran? Taran: What I mean is that I'm grateful. For all of you. You've been true friends.

Dialogue

Eilonwy: Oh, Taran, I'm afraid it'll soon be over for us. Taran: I hadn't planned it to end like this, Eilonwy. Fflewddur: Oh, I wish I'd stayed a toad.

Dialogue

Fflewddur: Just what do you think you're up to, ladies? Orddu: Oh, we have business with your little hero. Taran: "Hero?" Gurgi was the hero. Orddu: The only thing that mattered to you was the Cauldron, but now it's no use to you. So we'll just take it and be on our way. Fflewddur: Stay your hand, ladies. We never give anything away. We bargain; we trade. Remember? Orddu: Did these old ears hear the word "bargain"? Hmm? Fflewddur: Yes, madam, those old ears heard right. Orwen: Ohh! I adore forceful men. Fflewddur: Oh, pull yourself together, madam.

Dialogue

Taran: I'm not a warrior. I'm a pig-boy. What would I do with a sword? Orddu: [grabbing the sword back] Absolutely nothing! Taran: But I would trade... All Three Witches: Yes? Taran: ...the Cauldron for Gurgi. Orwen: Oh, dear! Orddu: It's not possible! Fflewddur: Just as I thought, ladies! You've got no real power! Admit it! Admit it! Orddu: We have made a bargain! [laughing]

Dialogue

Gurgi: Muchings and crunchings in here somewhere. Taran: [surprised] Gurgi! You-You're alive!
