Fflewddur
- 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 Fflam: Oh, I wish I'd stayed a toad.
- Eilonwy: Weren't you a bit frightened, Fflewdurr?
- Fflewddur Fflam: A Fflam frightened? That word is not in my vocabulary.
- [harp strings vibrate; Fflewddur stops them]
- Fflewddur Fflam: But in this case, well chosen, my dear.
- Fflewddur Fflam: I'm Fflewddur Fflam, minstrel of minstrels! Balladeer to the grandest courts in all the land!
- [harp string snaps]
- Fflewddur Fflam: And I, uh, eh? Eh, well, have you forgotten? I have sung in some of the finest courts...
- [another string snaps]
- Fflewddur Fflam: Well, I'm only waiting for an invitation.
- [another one snaps]
- Fflewddur Fflam: Oh, shush. Why do you have to judge every word I say?
- [Gurgi is hugging Fflewddur Fflam, who thinks he is being attacked]
- Fflewddur Fflam: Help! Get this thing off me!
- Gurgi: Oh, Gurgi's happy day!
- [Gurgi puts on Fflewddur's hat]
- Gurgi: Wow!
- Fflewddur Fflam: Yes, keep it! It's a gift!
- Gurgi: [Holding Fflewddur's harp] This! Gurgi want this!
- Fflewddur Fflam: Take it! I'm sure you've murdered for less.
- Orddu: 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 is of no use to you. So we shall take it and be on our way.
- Fflewddur Fflam: Stay your hand, ladies. We never give anything away. We bargain, we trade. Remember?
- Orddu: Did these old ears hear the word "bargain"?
- Fflewddur Fflam: Yes, Madam, your old ears heard right.
- Orwen: Oh, I just adore forceful men.
- Fflewddur Fflam: Oh, pull yourself together, Madam.
- King Eidilleg: Tell me. Is the burning and killing still going on up there?
- Fflewddur Fflam: You're refering to that-that-that-that joke on humanity, the Horned King.
- King Eidilleg: Will no one stand up to him?
- Taran: We've seen him. And if he ever finds the Black Cauldron, he'll kill us all.
- King Eidilleg: Oh, no. He'll never find it. It's safely hidden, in Morva.
- Taran: Morva?
- King Eidilleg: At least I think it is. Isn't it, Doli?
- Doli: [Angry] What? Is that one of my new jobs? Knowing where the Cauldron was last seen?
- King Eidilleg: Don't worry. He'll find it. You'll see.
