A stage, not unlike one from a theater, appears out of nowhere. A stoat looking mildly nervous but amazingly good looking walks out on to the stage and stands in the spot light. Looking around, he notices his audience has left, possibly because intermission took three or more months. The stoat drops on his knees, raises his hands to the sky and yells, "I LIVE AGAIN!" The doors fly open. The audience rushes back from the concession stand and take their seats. The lights dim, the crowd hushes, and the show resumes.
When we last left Brome, he and Mattimeo had just been charged by Ballaw to take the bell to Bree and it would be taken care of. Now, what should be here is how Brome gets siked and ready for a couple of months to go on his trip. But, since that isn't particularly interesting, we skip right to the bit where he, Matti and Dandin hit the road to move into a small cottage by St. Ninians, where Gonff lives. (What? This doesn't happen in the movie? That's because this happens in the BOOK, so there.)
Brome: Psst, I can't remember how to walk. It's been so long.
Mattimeo: I seem to remember something about putting on foot in front of the other, but I'm not sure.
Strange Overhead Voice: Quiet. Now get moving.
Dandin: All right, lets go! Lets hit the road! Can I sing?
Mattimeo: No.
Dandin: Follow the yellow brick road...
Mattimeo: No.
Dandin: Well, I would walk five hundred miles...
Mattimeo: Stop.
Dandin: The long and winding road...
Mattimeo: Cut it out.
Dandin: Well, I'm the (dum dum) King of the Road...
Mattimeo: No.
Dandin: You gotta WALK THIS WAY, TALK THIS WAY...
Mattimeo: Stop it.
Dandin: Well I'm the wanderer...
Mattimeo: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL STOP SINGING!
Dandin: But it's a great form of comic relief from your constant spazzing.
Brome: Uh oh! My bell senses are tingling, telling me to tell you in a nice and polite way to get off the road!
Mattimeo: That was a horrible bit of quoting.
Brome: Well, get used to it, because there's plenty more!
Mattimeo: I can't stand it! Between his singing and you're quoting I'm going insane! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!
Brome: You mean you can't take any LESS! It's very easy to take more of something.
Dandin: Alice in Wonderland?
Brome: it was all I could think of.
Ragear:(who is the very reason Bromes bell senses are going off) Excuse me, perhaps you can help me.
(All of them jump in fear, then Brome, in his nice and polite way starts a conversation.)
Brome: Uh, yes, how may we help you?
Ragear: Well, I'm looking for three mice that are about your size look like you, and one of them has a bell that looks similar to yours.
Dandin: (staring at him in disbelief) So, if I have this right, you're looking for three mice...
Ragear: Yes.
Dandin: Who are our size...
Ragear: Yes.
Dandin: Who look like us...
Ragear: Yes.
Dandin: And have a bell that looks like this one?
Ragear: That's about it, yeah.
Dandin: They went the way you came just a few minutes ago.
Ragear: Oh good. Thanks for your support. (To himself) Oh, I'll catch them now, and when I do, I'll take them back to the chief and he'll say "Good work Ragear, how about I promote you?" and then I'll get to wear that awesome helmet. (Walks away)
Dandin: What a twit. (They continue to walk away.)
( A while later, Ragear meets up with Darkclaw)
Darkclaw: Well, any luck?
Ragear: You bet! I found three mice who look exactly like the ones we're looking for who told me that they went this way!
(Darkclaw stares at him for awhile and then slaps him upside the head.)
Ragear: Ow! What was that about?
Darkclaw: Think about it.
Ragear: (thinks about it) Say, I bet that they were them all along! (Thinks about it more) I'll bet when we get back, they'll be gone.
Darkclaw: Did you figure that out yourself? (They leave)
