Good stuff
Mrs. Beaver: "You've no chance of getting into that house against her will and ever coming out alive."
Peter: "Couldn't we have some strategy, I mean, couldn't we dress up as something, or pretend to be, peddlers or anything, or watch until she's gone out... or... or... oh hang it all, there must be some way..."
Mr. Beaver: "It's no good son of Adam, no good your trying of all people, but now that Aslan is on the move..."
Lucy: "Oh yes, tell us about Aslan."
Susan: "Who is Aslan?"
Mr. Beaver: "Aslan? Why don't you know? He... He's the King! He's the Lord of the whole wood! The word has reached us that He's come back! He's in Narnia at this moment. He'll settle the White queen alright. Now it is He, not you, that'll save Mr. Tumnus."
Edmund: "Won't she turn him into stone too?"
Mr. Beaver: "Lord love ya' son of Adam! What a simple thing to say! Turn HIM into stone? If she can stand on her own two feet and look him in the face it'll be the most she can do - and more than I expect of her. No, no, He'll put all to rights, He will. You'll understand when you see Him!"
Susan: "But, shall we see Him?"
Mr. Beaver: "Why, daughter of Eve, that's what I've brought you here for! I'm to lead you where you shall meet Him."
Lucy: "Is He, Is He a man?"
Mr. Beaver: "Aslan, a man? (laugh) Certainly not. I tell you He's the King of the wood and the Son of the Great Emporer beyond the sea! Don't you know who is the King of Beasts? Aslan is a Lion, The Lion, The Great Lion!"
Susan: "Oh, a lion? Is he, is he quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion."
Mrs. Beaver: "That you will dearie, make no mistake. If there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most or else just silly."
Lucy: "Then He isn't safe?"
Mr. Beaver: "Safe? Don't you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells ya? Who said anything about safe? Course He isn't safe, but, He is good. He's the King I tell ya!"
