BUTTERCUP: And?
BOOKWORM: It said "you are here," so I suppose that's where we are.
FAITH: I'm not sure that will help.
SCRAMBLES: We're all gonna … (Nugget covers her mouth before she can say
"die.")
NUGGET: Scrambles, you're overreacting. There's got to be a road around
here somewhere.
(The chickens cheer as the Road enters.)
ROAD: Did somebody call for a road?
NUGGET: You have weird dreams.
BUTTERCUP: Thank goodness! Mr. Road, I'll bet you know a lot!
ROAD: I've been around the block.
FAITH: Do you know this area?
ROAD: Do I know it? I grew up here. My brother is a freeway to the big
city and my cousin is a dirt road up the side of the mountain.
But we don't talk to him anymore … he's crooked.
SoundFX: "Wolf Howl"
(The chickens all squawk and look around, frightened.)
FAITH: Mr. Road, would you please tell us how to get home?
ROAD: Sure, but it'll cost you a buck.
FAITH: You won't tell us unless we pay money?
ROAD: I'm a toll road.
FAITH: But we don't have any money!
ROAD: (sighs deeply) Awright, awright. If you promise not to tell
anybody, I'll give you directions … for free. Tell no one though
… I can't have people walkin' all over me.
NUGGET: We won't tell a soul!
ROAD: You better not double-cross me.
