Quotes

The Willows in Winter

Edit
  • Toad: [Toad is flying the plane recklessly, with Ratty in the front of the plane] Look, Ratty! NO HANDS!
  • [laughs maniacally]
  • Toad: [Toad and the Pilot are at Toad Hall, with Toad already buying a new airplane, with a pilot trying to get the engine started. Toad is getting very agitated] Oh, I say, fellow, can't you get a move on? I've been waiting months for this!
  • Pilot: Can't start 'er up and fly 'er safe, she 'as!
  • Toad: [Toad guffaws] *YOU* fly her?
  • [Toad laughs]
  • Toad: Oh, no, no, no, no chappie! *You* start her up, and *I* should take the controls!
  • Pilot: [the pilot fills the plane up with fuel] Can't allow that sir!
  • Toad: What do you mean, "can't allow it"? Whose lovely aeroplane is it anyway?
  • Pilot: Not, say, I test her first, then teaches you how to fly.
  • Toad: Teach *me* how to fly? Already know it all!
  • [throws the book away and guffaws]
  • Pilot: [sighs] That's enough for a test run.
  • [the pilot begins to try to start the engine up, with Toad getting even more impatient]
  • Toad: Come on. Come on!
  • [jumping up and down in impatience]
  • Toad: Come on, come on, COME *ON*!
  • [the pilot then starts up the propellers, Toad starts smiling that it works, then the propellers start slowing down and then stopping]
  • Toad: Ohh, BAH! It's a dud! Oh,
  • [walking off]
  • Toad: Order me another one.
  • Pilot: [to Toad, telling him to be patient] Got to have patience, Mr Toad.
  • Toad: Patience?
  • [scoffs]
  • Toad: I am *THE* most patient fellow in ENGLAND!
  • [the pilot then sighs and starts the propellers of the plane and it works]
  • Badger: [after seeing Toad recklessly flying the plane] Scoundrel! Wretched, raving irresponsible animal!
  • [banging his cane at the plane]
  • Badger: You should be horse-whipped! Get down at once!
  • [noticing Toad in the pilot outfit]
  • Badger: And take off that ridiculous outfit!
  • Magistrate: [Toad has revealed his true identity to the judge and the commissioners of police. The judge recognises him from his previous sentencing] I recognise that voice!
  • Toad: [in his chimney sweep outfit; knowing his cover was blown] Whoops!
  • Magistrate: [recognising Toad and noticing him] I sentenced that villain!
  • Toad: [knowing the judge is onto him] Uh-oh!
  • Magistrate: [pointing at Toad to the police] That's the infamous Toad!
