## Dialogue

Previous: "I Dream of Meanie"
(*Talking to Judge Hopner in the Hope Springs*)

 **Judge Hopner:** Yes, I know they're just a bunch of larrikins on resurrected birds. What I don't know is what they want. Have you heard them? They speak nonsense!
 **Judge Hopner:** They were mad about selling Dream Water, eh? So they're just Drovers after all. Huh. Oh, Drovers are a sort of political faction.
 **Judge Hopner:** They're all about keeping the Dreaming for themselves, while Townies like me - like those who built this city - believe in sharing it.
 **Judge Hopner:** These Emu kids came riding out of Drover territory, but they are not like normal. Most Drovers are happy as long as we Townies stay away from the Great Barrier.
 **Judge Hopner:** At any rate, their mighty birds are easily bested by simple fencing. They will never breach these walls.
(*Following cutscene of Furryosa landing in Hope Springs after accepting the Quest*)

 **Judge Hopner:** What the didgeri? We're being invaded. I need to rally the Judges. That means you're deputized, Wizard. Go find that Emu Rider!
(*First dialogue following Furryosa*)

 **Furryosa:** One, two, first came emus...
 **Furryosa:** Three, four, through skies we soar.
Dialogue continues in "Bank Run" and returns here once completed
(*After defeating Chris Collie and his brothers*)

 **Chris Collie:** Forget it! Just run!
(*After exiting the Bank*)

**Furryosa:** ...
 **Furryosa:** Have you hearded his sing-song, Wizard? When you go all sandy-eyed and dream? He hears yours.
 **Judge Hopner:** You on the bird! You are under arrest! Stop right-
 **Judge Hopner:** ...And she's gone. Crikey, those birds are fast. We've been chasing them all over town, haven't caught a one.
 **Judge Hopner:** And now I've got to report this to the Prime Minister and Chief Judge. I'll need you to file a report as well. They should be in her Office.
(*Talking to Opal Bilburrow in the Prime Minister's Office*)

 **Opal Bilburrow:** Living dead birds in my city? I can't have that. I won't have it.
 **Opal Bilburrow:** Is this the Wizard's fault? They bring upheaval wherever they go!
 **Judge Hopner:** No, ma'am, these Riders were here before the Wizard. Best guess is they're Drovers riled up over Dream Water again.
 **Opal Bilburrow:** What Dream Water? It's all gone! All the lakes, the ground water reserves, all of it. They have all of the Dreaming to themselves!
 **Judge Hopner:** Never said it was rational, ma'am. Either way, it seems our walls won't protect us.
 **Chief Judge:** You've a loose cannon, Hopner. Near as we can tell actually, a bunch of them, launching Emus over the walls. I need you to take them out.
 **Opal Bilburrow:** And, \*sigh\*, bring the Wizard. Their predilection for destruction might prove useful. I'll stay here and sort this mess.
(*Talking to Judge Hopner in the Outback*)

 **Judge Hopner:** There it is, Wizard, the crafty machine that bested our mighty wall...
 **Judge Hopner:** The Emu Cannon.
 **Judge Hopner:** Just the sort of invention the Dreaming can inspire. But they look pretty elaborate. If we destroy them, it may be a bit before they can make more.
Next: "There and Outback Again"
## Notes

* The title is a play on the line "it's a bird... it's a plane... it's Superman!" which was commonly uttered in earlier Superman media.
* The line "What the didgeri? We're being invaded. I need to rally the Judges. That means you're deputized, Wizard. Go find that Emu Rider!" is located in the *WizardNPC* text file rather than *WizQst1889A1*.
