Rat:
A new mania: motor mania.

Brom Bones:
Aw bopkins. Gad zooks. Take a look at that spook of spooks.

Don't try to figure out a plan. You can't reason with a headless man.

Prosecutor:
How did he get the motorcar?
Cyril Proudbottom:
The only way a gentlemen gets anything. The *honest* way.
Prosecutor:
And what is the *honest* way?
Cyril Proudbottom:
Haha, I thought you wouldn't know that one, guv'nor.
[Everyone laughs]

Mole:
Aren't you afraid of the police?
Mr. Toad:
Afraid of the police?
[laughs]
Mr. Toad:
I... afraid of the police.
[laughs more. Then a loud knock and yelling comes from the door]
Mr. Toad:
THE POLICE!

[It's the middle of the night and Toad is escaping from his room]
Narrator:
Now there was one problem with Ratty's cure for motormania... it didn't work.
[Toad climbs down a line of blankets tied together]
Narrator:
You see, Toad was far too clever and at the moment, completely mad. He was determined to get a motor car. If he had to beg, borrow or...
[Next frame, is a shot of a newspaper stating that Toad was arrested for driving in a stolen motor car]

[During his trial, Mr. Toad summons a witness: Winky the barman who had taken possession of Toad Hall in exchange for the car]
Mr. Toad:
[to the courtroom] Milord, gentleman, facing you in the witness box is a citizen of substance and stance; a man of unimpeachable honesty.
[to Winky]
Mr. Toad:
Now, Mr. Winky, do you recall an incident that took place in your establishment about August 12th that I was apparted to?
Winky:
Oh, yes, sir. That I do, sir.
Mr. Toad:
Well, then, just tell the court what actually happened.
Winky:
Well, guv'nor, you tried to sell me a stolen motorcar.
[Mr. Toad is surrounded by the guards]

[Brom is trying to scare Ichabod with the tale of 'The Headless Horseman']
Brom Bones:
When the ghosts have a midnight jamboree, they break it up with fiendish glee - Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed is the Headless Horseman, he's the worst!
Additional voices:
That's right, he's a fright on Halloween night!
Brom Bones:
When he goes a-jogging, across the land, holding his noggin in his hand, Demons take 1 look & groan, and they hit the road for parts unknown!
Additional voices:
Beware, take care, He rides alone!
[Ichabod watches Brom split a hair with a machete with terror on his face]

[Ichabod is riding through Sleepy Hollow late at night, in the area the Headless Horseman is known to prowl]
Ichabod Crane:
[whistling nervously]
Toads:
Ichabod! Ichabod! Ichabod!
[reapeatedly]
Toads:
[Ichabod becomes terrified with the noise of the crickets, toad, & owls. When he thinks he hears galloping hooves behind him, he panics & tries to get his horse to run, but his horse is resting on a gravestone. Ichabod soon finds it's nothing more than reeds thumping against a hollow log. He & his horse start laughing at the seeming absurdity of their terror]
The Headless Horseman:
[evil laugh] YAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
[Ichabod & his horse look up in horror to see the Headless Horseman in the graveyard, his horse reared up & wielding a sword]
The Headless Horseman:
[evil laugh] YAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
[Ichabod & his horse flee with the Headless Horseman chasing madly after them]
