"Archimedes: You, you, you bungling blockhead!"
"Merlin: (the stuff overcrowds him) Hey! Easy now; no, no, go ahead. (singing) Dum doo-dilly doo-dilly doo-dilly dum. This is the best part, now. Higitus figitus migitus mum, prestidigitonium. Higitus figitus migitus mum, prestidigitioni------WHOA!!"
"(the stool is the last to go as he finishes packing, leaving the cottage empty)"
"Merlin: Ha-ha!"
"Wart: What a fashion to pack!"
"Merlin: (takes the suitcase) Well, now, just a moment, boy. How else would you get all this stuff into one suitcase, I'd like to know?"
"Wart: Oh, but I think it's wonderful!"
"Merlin: Oh. Yes, it is rather. Now don't you get any foolish ideas that magic will solve all your problems. Because it won't!"
"Wart: But, sir, I don't have any problems."
"Merlin: Oh, pah, everybody has problems. The world is complete with problems. (closes his door, but his beard gets caught) Oh, blast it all! There, now. You see what I mean----- (his beard gets unstuck, but it wraps around his head) GAHH!!"
"(he pulls his beard, which becomes a big fluff of ball and he smooths it out)"
"Merlin: See, that's the damage with the world today."
"(the trio walk off into the distance, with the wolf following them)"
"Merlin: Everybody butting their heads against a brick wall. All muscle and no mentality. Do you want to be all muscle and no brain?"
"Wart: I don't have any muscle."
"Merlin: You don't? Well, how do you move about?"
"Wart: Oh, I suppose, I-I do have a little."
"Merlin: Aha. There, you see? Well, that's enough. Now, develop your brains. Knowledge, wisdom. There's the real power. Higher learning; that's the fact."
"(he slides down a cliff to a creek)"
"Merlin: Then first thing tomorrow morning, we'll start a complete schedule. Eight hours a day. We'll have six hours for schoolroom and two for study period."
"Wart: But I...I do have the time. I have page duties."
"Merlin: Page duties? Ha!"
"(he climbs up a steep hill)"
"Merlin: Ah, well, we'll change all that. There has to be a shake-up."
"Wart: Well, yes, sir. I-I suppose so."
"Merlin: How do you ever expect to amount to anything without an education, I'd like to know? Even in these bungling, backward, medieval times, you have had to know where you're going, don't you?"
"Wart: Ye...yes, sir."
"Merlin: Yes, of course. Well, you must plan for the future, boy. You have to find a direction. And you've... (mutters, but pauses) By the way, what direction is this castle of yours?"
"Wart: I think it's north. The other road."
"Merlin: Alright, then we better get a move on. C'mon, c'mon, lad. Pick up the pace. Pick it up."
"(the wolf, exhausted from following Wart, eventually makes it to the top, only to find they're headed back down and faints)"
"(At the castle....)"
"Voice: Oh, the devil take it!"
"(an overweight man is seen pacing in the dining hall)"
"Man: Oh, the devil take it. Anyone has better sense than to go barging off in that infernal forest alone. You had no business letting him go."
"Kay: (eating a turkey leg) Look, Dad, I am not the Wart's keeper. (throws the bone to two dogs)"
"Ector: Well, blast it all, I am! After all, I took him in, adopted the lad, you might say. Being his foster father, well, I'm responsible."
"(the two dogs run toward Wart and lick his face in emotion)"
"Ector: Tiger! Talbot! Off with you! (pulls the dogs off as Wart's grin drops) Now, look here, Wart. What's the big idea of gallivanting off in the woods and concerning the living daylights out of everybody?"
"Wart: I'm sorry, sir."
"Ector: Well, I'm sorry not enough. That's four demerits; four hours extra kitchen duty. Report to the cook!"
"Wart: But, sir, I'd like you to meet....."
"Ector: Go ahead, jump it, boy! Jump, jump, jump it!"
"(Wart runs away)"
"Ector: Yes, you have to keep a tight schedule to run a big place like this. Need strict rules. Especially for small boys."
"Archimedes: (He's perched on Merlin's hat) And I most certainly agree."
"Ector: (turns toward Archimedes) Who are you---oh. (turns to face Merlin) I mean, uh...you?"
"Merlin: Uh, my name is Merlin. And this is Archimedes, a highly educated owl."
"(Archimedes clears his throat, as if to speak....)"
"Ector: Educated owl?! (starts laughing) Say, that's a good one. (stops laughing) Say. Hey, I know. You have him under a spell, Marvin. You're a magician, huh?"
