## Wallace

* [first lines] Ho-ho! Cracking job, Gromit! Hang in there, ol' chum!
* [to Gromit] Er, what's up, dog?
* It's a veritable...vegetable...paradise.
* Just a bit of harmless brain alteration, that's all.
* Lovely food, for rabbits, that is.
* Still got me on the diet, eh, Gromit? Watching me shape. Ha Ha, there's a good dog.
* I'm just crackers about cheese.
* [at the Academy Awards of his and Gromit's movie, presented by Reese Witherspoon] Ooh! I do like a bit of Gorgonzola.
* Veg bad. Veg bad. Veg bad. Say no to carrots, cabbage, and cauliflower. Aw c'mon rad, what you waiting for. Turn on the weight for. Full suction.

## Lady Campanula Tottington

* Please, Wallace, call me "Totty".
* Run, rabbit, run!
* [Victor: No one beats Victor Quartermaine!] Is that so? [knocks him out with a giant carrot] Consider yourself dumped.

## Lord Victor Quartermaine

* There's No nonsense with Victor Quartermaine. What you see is what you get. [his toupee is sucked into a rabbit hole]
* How do you intended to finish these vermin off? Crush them? [kicks the BunnyVac 6000] Liquidize them?
* I Want. Toupee, please.
* Toupee, you idiot! My hair is in your machine!
* Out of my way, fool.
* [after firing a shot to get the crowd's attention] A were-rabbit? Oh come, come now. I do believe the Vicar's been at the communion wine again.
* C'mon. Queensberry rules. Put 'em up, you little pipsqueak. Hahahaha, you're shaking. Don't tell me you're a scaredy-cat as well as a scoundrel. And don't think acting like a big girl's blouse will get you out of it. There's no mercy with Victor Quartermaine.
* That's right, my lovely. You can say goodbye to your fluffy lover boy.
* Your loyalty is moving. Sadly, you won't be.
* Get your hairy mitts off my future wife you big brute.
* Oh, no. You commissioned me to rid you of Pesto, and that's just what I intend to do.
* [shoves a pitchfork in Lady Tottington's hair] Hmmmm, I rather like your hair pinned back.
* You can hop, but you can't hide, Pesto!
* Eat carrot, bunny boy.
* No one beats Victor Quartermaine. [Lady Tottington: Is that so? Consider yourself dumped.]

## PC Mackintosh

* [the Were-Rabbit is teetering on the roof of Tottington Hall, above a mob] Stand back! There may be a large rabbit dropping!
* Hey! Give over!
* Look.
* This flipping vegetable competition causes nothing but trouble every year.
* If you ask me, you know, I tell ya.
* If you ask me, this was arson. Aye, somebody "arson" around.

## Hutch the Rabbit

* Cheeeeeeese!
* Ooh, I do like a bit of gorgonzola.
* Ah, the bounce has gone from his bungee.
* Hey, Presto! Rabbit rehabilitation!
* Cheddar.
* I'm inventing, mostly.
* Charming. I'm Wallace.
* Geronimo!
* Your Lordship.
* Good night, Gromit.
* Cracking toast, Gromit.
* I'm just crackers about cheese.
* Monterey Jack! Wow!
* Smashing Wensleydale.
* Job well done, lad.
* Lovely food. For rabbits, that is.
* Cheese, Gromit!
* Heehee! Lovely cheese, Gromit!
* Don't forget the crackers.
* [last line] CHEEEEEEEEESE!!

## Reverend Clement Hedges

* [praying] Protect and nourish the frail and the weak, O Lord. Let them grow big and strong under Thy loving care. In fact, let them grow bigger and stronger than anyone else's, so that the first prize might be mine. Aaaaaaa-men.
* [holding up a pair of cucumbers like a cross] MERRRRCYYYYYYYYYY!!
* This was no man, does a man have teeth the size of axe blades? Or ears like terrible tombstones? By tampering with nature, forcing vegetables to swell far beyond their natural size, we have brought a terrible judgement upon ourselves.
* And for our sins, a hideous creature has been sent to punish us all! Repent! Repent! Lest you, too, taste the wrath of...THE WERE-RABBIT!!
* My poor sensitive child, allow us all to share in your moment of sorrow. YEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHH!!! [fireworks begin to go off and music plays] ON WITH THE SHOW!
* [witnessing Victor Quartermaine caught on a weather-vane by his trousers, showing his rear end to all below] Beware the moon!
* Destroy! Drive out the monstrosity!

## Mr. Growbag

* I never saw such cauliflower carnage. Worse than the Great Slug Blight of '32. When there were slugs the size of pigs.
* [On the history of the Giant Vegetable Competition] That's right. Not even the Great Duck Plague of '53 stopped it.

## Dialogue

    Lady Tottington: [over the phone] I have the most terrible rabbit problem. The competition is only days away. You simply have to do something.
    Wallace: Certainly, M'am [to Gromit] I think we're about to go up in the world, lad. [back to the phone] Just stay right where you are, Your Ladyship, and we'll be there in an- [hits the control panel and gets dragged up through the ceiling] AHHHHHHHH!!
    Lady Tottington: In an hour? I can't wait an hour. I have a major infestation. Oh, hello? Hello?
    Lady Tottington: Victor, hadn't we agreed? No more thoughtless killing.
    Victor: Quite right, my dear. So I've thought this through very carefully. It's off to bunny heaven for you, big-ears.
    Lady Tottington: Victor, no!
    [But the rabbit gets sucked in before it gets shot]
    Victor: What the?
    [Quartermaine's hairpiece has been sucked up into the Bun-Vac 6000.]
    Lord Victor Quartermaine: I want... toupeé, please.
    Wallace: Oh, Grand. We take check or cash.
    Victor: TOUPEÉ, you idiot! My hair is in in your machine!
    Wallace: Oh, no, it's only rabbits in there. The hare, I think you'll find, is a much larger mammal.
    Victor: Oh, out of my way, you! [retrieves his toupeé; to Lady Tottington] I'm sorry, my dear. [the toupeé is actually a black bunny] But I refuse to suffer any more humiliation at the hands of these blundering nitwits. I therefore bid you good day.
    Reverend Clement Hedges: Hello? Is anybody there? [the Were-Rabbit lets out an enormous belch] Mrs. Mulch?
    Mr. Growbag: I never saw such cauliflower carnage. Worse than the Great Slug Blight of '32. When there were slugs the size of pigs.
    Mrs. Mulch: Growbag's right! The slugs are back!
    PC Macintosh: Look, this flippin' vegetable competition causes nothing but trouble every year.
    Man 1: Here we go.
    Macintosh: If you ask me-
    Man 2: Get on with you!
    Macintosh: No, I'll tell ya. If you ask me, this was arson.
    [The townspeople gasp]
    Man 3: Arson?
    Macintosh: Aye. Someone arsin' around. That's right. One of you lot. A man.
    Victor: I know your little secret, Pesto! I know exactly what's going on.
    Wallace: Your Lordship?
    Victor: Oh, yes. You think you can pilfer my filly, don't you? You think you can con an innocent woman out of her fortune?
    Wallace: Who, me?
    Victor: Well, I got here first! I've spent a lot of time reeling in that fluffy-headed bunny-lover, and I'm not about to let some puddle-headed peasant poach her from me! Comprendez?!
    Reverend Clement Hedges: The beast lurks within all of us, my child. [thunderclap] The side of us that emerges at night as the moon rises into the sky! The side that savagely rips the leaves off any innocent cabbage.
    Victor: Oh, spare me the sermon, Vicar. Just tell me how I kill him. I mean it.
    Reverend Clement Hedges: To kill such a creature would require nerves of steel, and...a bullet. [thunderclap]
    Victor: A bullet? [thunderclap]
    Reverend Clement Hedges : A bullet. [thunderclap]
    Victor: A bull-? [thunderclap] [closes window] What KIND of bullet?
    Reverend Clement Hedges: A bullet of pure gold.
    Victor: Gold?
    Reverend Clement Hedges: Yes, 24 'karot'. [giggles]
    Victor: Oh. Get out of my way. Silly old fool.
    Reverend Clement Hedges: [as Victor walks out the door] Beware! BEWARE THE BEAST WITHIN!!!
    Wallace: Oh, it's hopeless! I'll never fix this flippin' machine. Me mind's just a rabbit-y mush. Oh, Gromit! I don't wanna be a giant rabbit! [sobbing]
    Hutch the Rabbit: Aww, the bounce is gone from his bungee.
    Reverend Clement Hedges: Ah, Mr. Growbag. I have a hunch this will be a night to remember.
    Mr Growbag: I just have a hunch.
    Civilian 1: Please, sir. Kiss my baby,
    Victor: Another time, perhaps.
    Civilian 2: Kiss my potato,
    Victor: Not now.
    Mr. Growbag: Kiss my artichoke.
    Victor: Look, just-
    Lady Tottington: Victor.
    Victor: Campanula.
    Lady Tottington: Victor, I have to know. Did it suffer?
    Victor: Of course not, my dear. Not yet, anyway.
    Victor: [whispering] Listen, I don't want to cause any panic, but the beast isn't actually dead yet.
    Mactinosh: [speaking through megaphone] THE BEAST ISN'T ACTUALLY DEAD YET?! [everyone becomes silent] Oops.
    [Everybody panics]
    Victor: No one beats Victor Quartermaine.
    Lady Tottington: Is that so? [knocks him with a giant carrot] Consider yourself dumped.
