Madeline : Pepito, you look so sad. What is the matter?
The Ambassador : Oh, Pepito, my son. Do not look so sad. You will like living in London.
Madeline : London? You are moving to London?

Madeline : Au revoir, Pepito.
Pepito : Adios, amigas.
Miss Clavel : Au revoir, Pepito. Goodbye, we'll miss you.

Narrator : Pepito's mother said...
The Ambassadress : Quite so.
[sniffs]
The Ambassadress : Quite so. Still, I'm afraid, the horse must go.

Miss Clavel : Oh, Madeline!

Miss Clavel : Good heavens! Pepito's birthday! We have bought no present!
Nicole : What shall we get him?
Madeline : Why, everybody knows, of course. He always said he craved a horse.
Miss Clavel : A horse? Mon Dieu! I do not think we can afford a horse.
Narrator : In their little purses and in Miss Clavel's bag, there wasn't enough money to buy the cheapest nag.
Miss Clavel : Well... we will just buy something else.
Chloe : Quel dommage!
Danielle : Oh no! He likes horses!
Miss Clavel : You are right, mes petites. In London, we may be able to get at least a retired horse as a pet. We will look.

Madeline : We must get to the bottom of this!
Madeline : Aha! An important clue. Pepito, where is Piccadilly?
Pepito : Uh, he was right here.
Madeline : And did you feed him last night?
Pepito : Uh... I think... I was too excited about my party. Porque? Why?
Madeline : Elementary, my dear Pepito. And just as I suspected. We must search the town for him.
Narrator : Just like a volcano eruption, they followed the trail of destruction. Just when they thought their efforts were in vain, they spotted a familiar mane.
Miss Clavel : Oh, look who is lying there, with his feet up in the air!
Madeline : I feel his breath, he is not dead yet. Oh, vite, vite, Pepito, get the vet!
Narrator : Dr. Stone came quickly by, she checked Piccadilly's heart and eyes.
Dr. Stone : Don't worry, he'e only asleep. Help me get him on his feet.
Dr. Stone : As a diet, there is nothing worse than green apples and roses for an old horse.
Nicole : Mm-hmm.
Danielle : Mm-hmm.
Chloe : Mm-hmm.
Dr. Stone : Promise me that when you take him away, you will feed him only grass and hay.
Miss Clavel : Just cut grass and hay for Piccadilly.
Simon : No green apples!
