English Novels

"Brother Rufus: Then why, do you not help each other? Surely not all hundred of you are injured?"

"Rat: Mmm, well, I'm badly injured. Can you not at least take me in and give me a bite to eat and see to the wound?"

"Brother Rufus: Well, yes, OK, on the condition you surrender your weapon."

"Cluny: My son, hah! That's a good one! Well, I'll tell you what I want - I want the lot, everything! Do you hear me?"

"Rat: Our cart has overturned; there's all my comrades trapped beneath it."

"Kilconey: Yes, didn't my old mother used to say, There's nothing like a fox to fix?"

"Abbot Mortimer: (to Cluny) What do you want, my son?"

"Brother Rufus: (suspicious) ...How many of you were travelling in the cart?"

"Rat: Oh, a couple of hundred."

"Cluny: Foxes!?"

"Abbot Mortimer: All work and no play makes Matthias a dull mouse. Cheer up, son."

"Matthias: What...? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I'm trying to solve a problem you see."

"Abbot Mortimer: Yes, Methuselah did tell me of some of the problems."

"Redwaller 1: Aye, and the one in the back - he looked like the Devil himself!"

"Redwaller 2: What in Heaven was it?"

"Redwaller 1: What in Hell, more like!"

"Cluny: I mean a proper healer, someone who knows the old ways."

"Redwaller 2: All those rats, and such big ones too!"

"See this traitor? Here is a soldier who thinks I don't lead my horde."

"You know what that means... extra loot... a bigger share of the plunder."

"Nobody outsmarts Cluny!"

"No guts, huh? Just as well. I don't want dead ones on my claws before we have a fight."

"Redwaller 1: Did you see that?"

"Kilconey: Ar, you're in luck sir, for don't I know the very vixen!?"

"I think we should mount a guard on the walls."

"If you are truly Cluny the Scourge, we know from your tail, it is a weapon."

"I don't know about that, Sam, your mum and dad might not like you going about armed to the teeth."

"Who do they think they are!?"

"I want to see your Abbot!"

"Keep that badger away from me, or you'll learn nothing."

"Don't worry, I'll just pop you all into this sack. Don't worry, uncle Chickenhound will take care of you?"

"I am that is."

"And you doubt the word of your Abbot that Cluny the Scourge exists? Very idiotic mice, you are, to be sure."

"...Cluny and his rats returned by night, and gnawed the foundations of the mine. This caused the mine to collapse the next day, killing the owners... as Cluny and his army moved south, I gathered intelligence from other sources over the following years... a farmhouse set alight, later that same year, piglets... an entire litter of them eaten alive by the rats... sickness and disease spread through livestock herds by Cluny's army."

"(To Chickenhound, last words) So this is how you repay our kindness! You are far worse than your wicked mother!"

"Hmmm, Lord Abbot Cedric? Oh goodness, you'll be the new Abbot, Saxtus, the one who came after Cedric. Goodness, I've seen so many of them come and go, you see."

"Right, I've got the message, fat one! Make sure your Abbot brings loads of valuables with him! Goodbye, old grayback!"

"Don't speak to me about your nonsense, sector eight, paragraph four and all that nonsense."

"Stupid fools; it serves them right!"

"I want meat! Young, tender, red meat!"

"I think you should get out of the school."

"(to the bully Gavin) Do you want me to rip open your other hand too?"

"I just don't understand you!"

"Hate is all you have."

"Fransisco Pizarro"

"Rodriguez: (he cradles Matt's neck in his hands) You are a very foolish boy, Matthew Freeman. You have come, uninvited, to my country and it is time for you to pay. Because, you see, you are "Paul Carter." You do not exist. We could shoot you now. But that is not what is going to happen to you, Matthew Freeman, you are going to be put in a cell deep underground and you are going to be left to rot and nobody is ever going to hear from you again. Diego Salamanda sends his regards!"

"Rodriguez: (playing) What do you want? You want to confess? I think that would be a very good idea my friend."

"Matt: I haven't... done anything wrong..."

"Rodriguez: You have no name. You have no identity. You have entered my country illegally. Maybe you are a terrorist? You are young, that is true. But there are others who are younger. WHERE IS RICHARD COLE?"

"Matt: I want..."
