Quotes

Narrator: [voiceover] I could say they lived happily ever after, but what's the fun in that? Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a brave, little mouse who loved honor and justice and always told the truth. [Camera zooms in and we see a rat named Roscuro] No, that's not him. That's a rat. And anyone who knows anything, knows there is a big difference between a mouse and a rat. First of all, rats hate the light. [Roscuro climbs on a barrel and looks at the sun] They spend their lives in the darkness. Also terrify the people which is why they're slinking and cover all the time. [Roscuro goes to near of a sailor] And as far as telling the truth as concerned, well, that is impossible, because as everyone knows a rat can't talk. [Roscuro starts to talk] Roscuro: Tell me that thing again, please. Pietro: Come on! Roscuro: Tell me one more time and I won't ask you ever again, I swear. Pietro: Fine. We are headed to Dor, one of the most magical places in the whole world. Roscuro: No, that's not what you said before. You know, every place has something special and in Dor, it's "the soup". Narrator: If you know anything about fairy tales, then you know that a hero doesn't appear until the world really needs one. Narrator: Of course, destiny is a funny thing. We go out to meet it and we don't always know that we are. Narrator: When your heart breaks it can grow back crooked. It grows back twisted and gnarled and hard. Narrator: The story said she was a prisoner but that wasn't totally true because she had hope and whenever you have hope, you're never really anybody's prisoner. Narrator: So sometimes it doesn't take much for your dreams to come true, you just have to be able to see it that way Princess Pea: What are you, a mouse? Despereaux: No... I'm a gentleman. Narrator: In fact, you can have a good heart and not even know it. Narrator: Ok, remember when we said that grief was the strongest thing a person could feel? Well, it isn't. It's forgiveness because a single act of forgiveness can change everything. Princess Pea: Do you think there's a bit of light somewhere in the world? I think there is you just need to know where to find it. |
