Nil: You lost them?
Hattie: Of course I didn't lose them. They've just been temporarily misplaced.
Nick: Wait...where's your hat?
Hattie: Yes, well, that would be the misplaced bit.
Nil: Oh, and the temporary bit?
Hattie: That would come before the bit where somebody sticks their hand in.
Nil: Ah. I see. And what comes after that bit?
Hattie: Well, the bit where we find them, of course. I'd imagine if the screaming doesnt tip us off the ravenous flying beasts will, yes?
Remey: Ravenous flying beasts? I thought you said it was a hat?
Hattie: It is a hat, you silly girl. Haven't you ever watched a stage show? All of the most interesting things come out of a hat.
Nick: All of the most interesting things come inside boxes covered with curtains and involve glitter and large cats.
Remey: So, your traveling menagerie is inside your hat?
Cat: Ooh, thats a sharp one, innit.
Eric: Yes. It's inside the hat.
Remey: So, what are they, like bugs or something?
Eric: Oh, what all's in there. There's Max...
Hattie: No, no, Max has been gone for years. Got some sort of shell rot. It was horrid, really.
Nick: That's to bad. What about Rocky?
Hattie: Oh, yes, he's still around. Can't lose my Rocky. Hope I haven't, anyway, that would be a bit of a mess, wouldn't it?
Remey: What's Rocky?
Oz: Rocky is the griffon.
Remey: You know, this is going to sound crazy, but these two little boys came in the other day....
Hattie: Of course I didn't lose them. They've just been temporarily misplaced.
