MARTINI am that is.

My sword shall wield for me.





Whoa!

(Sighing)

(Groaning)

Hm.

You were never clumsy, were you?



(Neighing)

(Bird shrieking)

(Screaming)

(Shivering)

(Weapons clashing)



(Baby suckling)

(Neighing)

Rats!

The rats are coming!

Run for your lives!

Matthias!

Whoa!

MOMWhere’s Matthias?

Where’s Matthias!?

Matthias!

(Laughing)

(Growling)

(Screaming)

(Groaning)

(Laughing)

Matthias, I got you.



(Bird crying)

(Bird crying)

Where’s Mom and Dad?

We’re all alone, Matthias.

(Ice staining)

(Screaming)

(Coughing)

Head west until summer,

missy.

Good luck, eh.

Here.

’T ain't much but--

Thank-- you.

MATTHIASHungry.

I’ll find us food soon.

I promise.

(Growling)

(Growling)

(Gasping)

(Screaming)

(Growling)

(Sniffing)

MATTHIASWhere’s summer,

Myrtle?

Is it far?

(Rustling)

Asmodeus.

(Gasping)

(Matthias screaming)

Hush.

(Struggling)

(Gasping)

(Groaning)

Myrtle, come on.

(Gasping)

Get away!

Get away from us!

Easy, little fellow.

Get away from us!

I’ll--

Get-- away--

Easy now.

Easy.

Easy.

Easy.



How is the little fellow?

Exhausted and very

frightened, even of me.

His sister d*ed.

Dead she is.

He’s got no mom and dad.

Myrtle, Myrtle--

Easy.

Easy now, she’s--

Where’s Myrtle?

Where’s my sister?

Easy, now.

She’s resting.

Now, so must you.

Myrtle.

What is your name, young

fellow?


(Groaning)

(Bell tower ringing)

(Choir chanting)

Hey, ah ha ha!

Hey!

No name, no name!

(Laughing)

(Groaning)

My name’s Cornflower.

What’s yours?

Matthias.

That’s a nice name.

Matthias is it?

Glad to hear you can talk.

Well Matthias, welcome to

Redwall Abbey.

Matthias?

Did you say Matthias?

Well, well, well.

I think we’ve been expecting

you.

(ECHOING)Expecting you.

MARTINMatthias.

Matthias.

(Gasping)

Martin?

Matthias.

Matthias?

Matthias.

(Gasping)

Father Abbot, did you hear

that?

Hear what, young Matthias?

Martin the warrior spoke to

me.

Hm.

Martin spoke to you?

Yes, he said, "Matthias."

Matthias.

Yes, he--

Matthias, Matthias, whatever

will I do with you?

Well, I want to be like him:

a great warrior.

Matthias, it’s true Martin

was a great warrior, but that

was a different time very long

ago.

When he came to the Abbey,

injured and weary, he gave up

fighting forever and became a

mouse of piece as we all are

here at Redwall.

Come, come, young Matthias.

Stop dreaming.

We have work to do for my

jubilee feast tonight.

And, remind me to get you a

habit that fits.

Yes, Father Abbot.

Thank you, Father Abbot.

MARTINI am that is.

(Whip snapping)

(Neighing)

(Laughing)

Redwall!

k*ll Redwall!

RATSCluny the Scourge!

Cluny the Scourge!

(Matthias struggling)

Easy Matthias, calm down.

Calm down!

Don’t worry, Brother Alf,

I’ve got him.

I’ve got him!

Oh, hey!

Ho, ho, I thinks the old fish

go’n catch you, Matthias.

(Laughing)

Young Matthias has courage

enough for mice.

MORTIMERBut, no sense

of balance.

(Screaming)

CROWDWhoa!

I’ve got him!

We won, Brother Alf!

We won!

So you did, you little fish

fighter.

(Struggling)

(Laughing)

It fits!

Yes, it does.

And so should these.

Thank you, Father Abbot.

Perfect.

Matthias, you almost drowned

yourself and Brother Alf today.

He gets sea sick you know.


You must respect your elders.

Oh, I do, Abbot Mortimer.

But, I did catch a huge fish

for your feast.

I’m a great fish fighter.

When you first came here,

years ago, I promised to treat

you like my own son.

Do you understand?

I think so, Father Abbot.

Then, now you’re ; be a

good son of Redwall and put away

these foolish ideas of being a

fighter.

Even your hero, Martin, hid his

sword when he joined us.

Maybe I could find it.

No, Matthias.

No swords.

These are our days at peace,

Matthias.

Remember that.

Run along now and help where you

can.

Yes, Father Abbot.

And try to be worthy of my

trust.

I will try.

(Sighing)

(Bell ringing)

(Ringing continues)

(Ringing continues)



(Crowd chattering)

(Gasping)

Oh!

(Snapping)

(Laughing)

(Laughing)

(Bell ringing)

Ahem.

Brothers and Sisters of Redwall,

Woodlanders, and visitors, may I

present, in Abbot Mortimer’s

honour, caught in our own pond

by Brother Alf--

And me!

And me!

Ahem.

My Grayling a la Redwall.

(Trumpeting)

(Crowd applauding)

Thank you, Matthias.

Thank you, Friar Hugo.

CROWDHooray.

Thank you, one and all, fur

and whisker, tooth and claw,

all who enter by our door.

Silver fish, your life we take

only for a meal to make.

ALLAmen.

Let’s eat!

Here you arecreamed white

turnips with nutmeg.

And, your favourite Matthias:

fresh water shrimps garnished

with cream and rose leaves.

ALLOh!

Hey!

You’ll have to be quicker

than that, Matthias.

(Laughing)

(Crowd chattering)



(Snoring)

(Belching)

Friar Hugo, I want you to

fill a sack with food.

A midnight feast, Father

Abbot?

Not for me, Hugo; for

Cornflower’s parents.

I will make sure they can get it

home to St. Ninian’s Church.

Matthias, I have a job for you.

Uh, say the word, Father

Abbot, and I’m your mouse.



There’s the crossroads.

We’re nearly there.

Wake up, Cornflower.

You’re nearly home.

(Yawning)

(Rumbling)

Thunder?

(Neighing)

That’s not thunder.

Matthias, what is it?

We’ll know any second now.

Hold tight, everybody.


CLUNYFaster!

(Neighing)

Faster, you mangy beast.

On, to Redwall!

Stay hidden.

Oh, the stupid beast has

missed the turn.

(Gasping)

(Growling)

It’s him.

Bless me.

You look like you’ve seen a

ghost.

Maybe I have, Constance.

We better get everybody back

to the Abbey.

Matthias?

(Neighing)

Ya!

You, get up there and stop that

creature.

(Neighing)

(Screaming)

We are loose!

(Laughing)

(Screaming)

Up, up you cringing slobs.

Redtooth, Darkclaw, stand to,

you rancid scum!

Scumnose, Frogblood--

(Groaning)

Get your group organized or I’ll

have your skulls for skittles.

(Groaning)

Where in the name of darkness

is Shadow?

Here at your side, Mighty

Cluny.

Right, the rest of you

recruit some more country rats,

get some some weasels and

stoats, and be ready to att*ck

the Abbey immediately!

Redtooth, Darkclaw, Shadow,

follow me!

MORTIMERAll right,

everybody.

All right.

Now, you say they were rats,

Constance.

What kind of rats?

My granddad once knew a

sea rat.

I’d say that's what they are.

And, there were hundreds of

them.

(Crowd gasping)

Maybe they’ll pass by.

They won’t pass by.

I know who they are.

I saw them before a long time

ago.

Those are the rats that att*cked

my town and k*lled my family.

They’ll burn the Abbey!

What shall we do?

I tell you what we’ll do:

we’ll be ready.

We’ll stand firm.

We’ll stand together.

We’ll fight him.

I will hear no talk of

fighting.

The council will withdraw and

consider what to do.

The rest of you go back to bed.

Come, Methuselah, Brother Alf.

Well spoken, Matthias.

It’s no time for faint hearts.

(Pounding)

(Gasping)

It’s him.

Courage, Matthias.

Face your ghost.

Who goes there?

Who dares challenge the great

Clu--

We are but weary travellers

seeking rest.

You are sea rats seeking no

such thing.

Be gone!

We don’t want you here at

Redwall!

There are only four-- three

of us.

What harm can we do?

I only wish to parley with the

good Abbot to talk of peace.

Be gone!


I will parley with any who

come to our door in peace.

(Snickering)

Leave your weapons outside and

of you may enter.

We’ll need a hostage for safe

conduct, chief-- Agh!

Fool.

You think I fear fat mice in

funny robes, and squeaking

infants?

Darkclaw, come with me.

Keep a weather eye on that

badger.

You see?

No weapons.

We come in peace.

Now, how may we help you?

You can give me your Abbey is

how.

Ha!

Darkclaw, read the fat fool my

articles of surrender.

Onesurrender must be total

and immediate.

Twoall property shall belong

to Cluny.

(Growling)

ThreeAll creatures will be

Cluny’s slaves.

MARTINMatthias.

Four--

MARTINI am that is.

I am that is!

Who dares challenge--

Who dares challenge Cluny the

Scourge shall perish.

Now, you rats, listen to me.

I’ll tell you what you getyou

get nothing, nothing, nothing!

(Screaming)

CORNFLOWERMatthias, look

out!

(Screaming)

Oof!

How dare you come here

reading articles of death and

sl*very to me.

Who is that mouse?

Young Matthias?

That mouse.

That is Martin the warrior.

He founded our order.

And if he were here today

he’d chop you up for crow's

meat.

Enough talk!

Get out, rats!

Leave while you still have your

skulls.

I will have my revenge!

Showed ’em a thing or , eh

chief?

Get me Shadow!

I am here.

Why do you want Shadow?

Only you can climb those

walls.

There’s something I wanta

picture of a mouse.

Get it for me now!

We’ll see how tough they are

when I have their precious hero

as my colours.

I know I only imagined it.

You didn’t really speak to me.

Why would you?

I’m nobody.

I’ve got nothing.

(Steps clicking)

Whoever you are, show yourself!

It’s just me.

Cornflower.

(Sniffling)

Matthias, don’t be ashamed to

weep.

You cry because you have

compassion and a noble heart.

Cornflower, it’s him.

Look, Cluny.

Why is he there on this old

tapestry?

It was made long, long ago.

What does it mean?

Don’t fear Cluny.

He has seen your courage.

I saw Cluny’s face when you

shouted at him.

He was scared.

He was scared of me?


He was scared of your spirit.

Matthias, I am proud to be

your friend.
