Quotes7

  • 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.
  • [repeated line]
  • Fflewddur Fflam: Great Belin!
