I'll hunt you, then I'll skin you, hang your noggin on a peg!

Of course, we both know a decision still has to be made.

What's this?

It's a peace offering. I made it. For you. Special.

You made this for me?

Interesting flavour.

How do you feel?

What is that?

Different?

Tart and gamey...

Have you changed your mind at all about the marriage and all that?

Oh, better.

Now, why don't we go upstairs to the lords and put this whole kerfuffle to rest, hm?

Mother?

I'm woozy suddenly. Oh, my head's spinning like a top!

Mom!

Oh, suddenly I'm not so well.

How do you feel about the marriage now?

Merida!

Just take me to my room.

To the left, that's good, that's good.

A wee bit to the left, that's good.

It's good enough. Now clean out of there boys, I don't want you to spoil my shot.

Mylady Queen!

We've been waiting patiently.

My lords, I am out of sorts at the moment

but you shall have your answer.

Presently.

Now, if you'll excuse us.

Elinor, look! It's Mor'du!

Elinor! Are you all right, dear?

Fine, I'm fine. Go back to avenging your leg!

Aye, you heard her lads.

I dream about the perfect way to make this devil die.

Just take all the time you need getting yourself right, mom.

And maybe in a bit you might have something new to say on the marriage?

What was in that cake?

Cake?

Mom?

So I'll just tell them the wedding's off then.

Mom?

Bear!

Mom?

You're...you're a bear!

Why a bear?

That's scaffy witch gave me a gammy spell!

It's not my fault!

I didn't ask her to change you into a bear.

I just wanted her to change...you.

Shh, did you hear that?

Something's not right.

There's no point in having a go at me.

The witch is to blame.

Goggly old hag!

Eyes all over the place.

God. It's unbelievable!

How I'm going to fix this.

Everybody, follow me!

And you keep a sharp eye!

Here we go. Another hunt through the castle.

We haven't even had a dessert yet.

(unintelligible Doric accent)

I have no idea.

Mom, you can't go out there!

Mom!

Wait!

What're you doing?

Dad!

The Bear King?

If he so much as sees you, you're dead!

Another one of your entertainments. Where is the end.

Oh, and just what exactly are we after, my liege?

Best to humour him. He is, after all, the king.

He is like a hound with that nose of his.

Mom! Wait! We have to...

Follow me!

Stop!

Stop!

You're covered with fur!

You're not naked!

It's not like anyone's gonna see you!

Now you've done it!

Maudie!

Just calm down, lass. What is it?

Spit it out, Maudie!

A BEAR!

I knew it!

Would you just listen to me!

We can't go this way. You'll be seen!

Quick! This way!

Mom?

Mom?

A witch turned mom into a bear. It's not my fault.
