Tales of Amy's Garden
General Woundwort McCain: You were one of those on the riverbank.
Did Bigwig send you? You know President Trump?
Hazel: I'm a friend of President Trump. And no that is not a wig.
That is his real hair. I have come to tell you that we have to end the endless
wars. Nation building. Overturning governments in places like Iraq and Libya
and now Syria. It has to end now. It is none of our business.
General Woundwort McCain: What was left unfinished will be finished now. We have to
show the world that we are the world’s policeman. That we will overturn the
tyrants in Syria and Russia and North Korea. Everywhere they do not bend to our
superior thoughts and words. We are the ones who will decide. We are the one
world government and everyone from Trump to Putin will bow to our dictate.
Hazel: It would be better for both of us if we could come to
terms with the fact that we cannot control the world. That we have to worry
about our own people. That we have to put the Warren first. Worry about the
rabbits not the world. Let the camels and the men who love them take care of
themselves.
General Woundwort McCain: Terms? You want to come to terms with
our limitations? Very well. These are my
terms. Hand over all the deserters immediately. All of you who dare to stand
against the Global ambitions of the Deep State. Bannon. Miller. Donald Trump
Jr. All of them must be destroyed.
Hazel: We couldn't agree to that. But I can suggest something
better, for both of us--
General Woundwort McCain: [dangerous] You're in no
position to bargain. I control the Senate. I control the media. They love me
and will do my bidding. They will destroy you and Bigwig.
Hazel: We shouldn't be fighting each other. We have enough
enemies as it is. Perhaps we should be together. A joining of free, independent
people who work for the people. The people of America. The people of America
first, last and always.
General Woundwort McCain: [considers this] Ah, I have
no time for this nonsense!
Campion: Shall I kill him, sir?
General Woundwort McCain: No. [to Hazel] You take
back our terms. And you tell your chief, Bigwig, that if he and Bannon and the
others aren't waiting outside when I come for them, I'll tear out every throat
in the place!
Hazel: I am sorry General. I will pass on your demands but I know
that the President will never surrender. He will fight for his people and they
are behind him. All the way. It is war. To the knife.

Tales of Amy's Garden
Black Rabbit: Hazel? You know me, don't you?
Hazel: I don't.
[the visitor reveals himself as The Black Rabbit]
Hazel: Oh, yes, my Lord... I know you.
Black Rabbit: I've come to ask if you would like to join my Owsla. We shall be glad to have you, and I know you'd like it. You've been feeling tired, haven't you? If you're ready, we might go along now.
[Hazel pauses to look back at his rabbits]
Hazel: I feel like I can't leave them. So many are gone now. Bigwig. Fiver. Strawberry. Even that nice old man who wrote about us. Fiver left him a manuscript scraped out on a lettuce leaf and he was able to interpret it and share it with everyone. He even wrote a book. We became famous. For five minutes. Until people forgot us and started watching cooking shows. But he spoke in our voice. So people would know how it is to be a rabbit.
Black Rabbit: Yes even the nice old man has passed. You have done so well since you have moved to the new warren. It is so much safer and cleaner. You left all the bad ju ju behind you.
Hazel:Wait a minute. They were Jews? I know you are the Black Rabbit and all of you people hate the Jews but I don't think they were Jewish. Anyway I don't care about those people anymore. i only worry about my friends. The other rabbits I led here. Will they be safe without me?
Black Rabbit: You needn't worry about them. They'll be alright, and thousands like them. If you'll come along, I'll show you what I mean.
[Hazel lies down and dies]
