== The Dragon meets Sir Giles ==

*(Cut back to the cave as everyone walks back to the dragon's cave)
*'''Dragon''': ''I'm the reluctant dragon'' ''What ho! Quite so'' ''The very reluctant dragon'' ''Oh, very, very Don't you know'' ''They call me the timid dragon'' ''What rot! I'm not!'' ''I just won't fight I'd rather play''  ''- I know I shan't get hurt that way''
*'''Boy and Pooh's Adventures Gang''': Hello, Dragon.
*'''Dragon''': Oh, hello, everyone. I'm having a picnic.  
*'''Boy''': We've brought a friend to explain about...
*'''Dragon''': Oh, well, well, splendid.  The more, the merrier. Now, boy, you sit here and your friend can sit there.
*'''Sir Giles''': Thank you.
*'''Dragon''': Now, let's see now.  Pickles, jam, muffins, tea. Oh, yes.  Here, do have a jam sandwich, sir...?  Sir...?  What did you say your friend's name was?
*'''Boy''': Oh, that's Sir Giles.
*'''Dragon''': Sir Giles. Well, well.
*'''Boy''': Yes, you know, the dragon-killer.
*(Shocked at Sir Giles title, he quickly begins to pack up the picnic)
*'''Piglet''': Sir Giles, you better tell the Dragon, quick.
*'''Sir Giles''': Oh, yes, of course. Hey, you know, I've been looking forward to meeting you. The boy and his stuffed friends here tell me you're quite an accomplished poet.
*'''Dragon''': Oh, they did, really?
*'''Sir Giles''': Yes, yes, yes, yes.  And maybe if it's not too much bother, I'd be pleased to hear you recite.
*'''Dragon''': Oh, my dear, dear fellow, no bother. No bother at all. Would you care for a sandwich?
*'''Sir Giles''': Thank you. Jam.
*'''Dragon''': Here. Do have another sandwich and a piece of cake and a crumpet and an olive and a spot of tea.
*'''Sir Giles''': (muffled with the sandwich in his mouth) Thank you.
*'''Dragon''': This... This is called "To An Upside-down Cake".  ''Sweet little upside-down cake'' ''Cares and woes, you've got them.''  ''Poor little upside-down cake'' ''Your top is on your bottom.''  ''Alas, little upside-down cake'' ''Your troubles never stop'' ''Because, little upside-down cake''  ''Your bottom's on your top''
*'''Rabbit''': I can't believe, how wonderful that poem was! 
*'''Pooh''': I can't either.
*'''Eeyore''': Moved me to tears.
*'''Sir Giles''': Bravo. Quite interesting. Extraordinary.
*'''Boy''': Now, Sir Giles. Tell the Dragon now.
*'''Sir Giles''': Oh, yes, of course. (to the dragon) You know, I am a bit of a bard myself.  
*'''Dragon''': Really? Oh, how nice.
*'''Sir Giles''': Yes, yes, yes. Quite, quite. ''Radish so red'' ''Radish so red'' ''Plucked from the heart'' ''Of your warm little bed'' ''Sprinkled with salt'' ''On the top of your head'' (eats the radish) ''Delicious''
*'''Dragon''': Oh, that's exquisite. Simply exquisite.
*'''Sir Giles''': Ye''<nowiki/>''s, of course. You're quite right.
*'''Boy''': Do you mi''<nowiki/>''nd if I recite a poem?
*'''Dragon''': You, boy? Why..''<nowiki/>''. O''<nowiki/>''h, not at all. 
*'''Sir Gile'''''<nowiki/>'''''s''': Oh, of cours''<nowiki/><nowiki/>''e, ''<nowiki/>''of course. Rather, rather. ''<nowiki/>''
*'''Bo'''''<nowiki/>'''''y''':''<nowiki/>'' ''<nowiki/>'Ti<nowiki/>s'' ''<nowiki/>evening'' ''From the st<nowiki/>ars above'' ''A sof<nowiki/>t mysterious<nowiki/>'' ''light'' ''Brings thoughts of friendsh<nowiki/>ip'' ''Joy and love'' Now how about that fight?!
*'''Dra'''''<nowiki/>'''''gon''': Splendid. Quite.  Fight? Figh''<nowiki/>''t?! There's nothi''<nowiki/>''ng to fight about. Besid''<nowiki/>''e''<nowiki/>''s, I don't believe in it.
*''<nowiki/><nowiki/><nowiki/><nowiki/><nowiki/>'''''Bo'''''<nowiki/>'''''y''':''<nowiki/>'' But ''<nowiki/>''drago''<nowiki/>''ns and knights always fight.
*'''Po'''''<nowiki/>'''''oh'''''<nowiki/>'': I d''<nowiki/>''on't ''<nowiki/>''suppose ... ''<nowiki/><nowiki/>''
*'''Sir''' ''<nowiki/>''<nowiki/>'''Giles''': Th''<nowiki/>''at's right, by Jove.
*'''Boy''':''<nowiki/>''<nowiki/> You can'''<nowiki/>''t ''<nowiki/>''disappoint the whole village.
*'''Sir''' ''<nowiki/><nowiki/>''<nowiki/>'''Giles''': No''<nowiki/>''t cricket, you know.
*'''Dragon''':''<nowiki/>'' Please, I... I do not wish to discuss i''<nowiki/>''t further. I''<nowiki/>'' refuse to listen. I absolutely will not fight. Good night.
*''<nowiki/><nowiki/>'' '''Sir Giles''': Well, you know, it's a shame. It doe''<nowiki/>''sn't seem ri''<nowiki/>''ght. This is really a beautiful spot.
*'''Boy''': For a figh''<nowiki/>''t.
*'''Sir Giles''': Yes,''<nowiki/>'' quite''<nowiki/>'' right. ''<nowiki/><nowiki/>''
*'''Bo'''''<nowiki/>'''''y''': W''<nowiki/>''hy, I can almost see it. The flags ''<nowiki/>''are waving.
*'''Sir Giles''': The people are cheering.
*'''Boy''': Bands ar''<nowiki/>''e playing.
*''<nowiki/>'''''Sir Giles''': The''<nowiki/>'' Dragon appears. What a beautiful sight, with his scales all agleam in the dawn's early light.
*'''Dragon''': You're just flattering me.
*'''Sir Giles''': Oh, no, fellow. It's true. That beautiful damsel throws flowers at you.
*'''Dragon''': At me?
*'''Sir Giles''': At you.
*'''Dragon''': As I ramp and I roar, I cut quite a figure.
*'''Boy''': Sir Giles has a spear just like this, only bigger.
*'''Dragon''': I get set for the charge and... Did you say spear?
*'''Sir Giles''': Yes, spear.
*'''Dragon''': Oh, dear. No. I'll get hurt. I won't do it. Good day.
*'''Sir Giles''': Just a second, old chap. We might fix it this way.
*(Sir Giles whispers his plan to the dragon)
*'''Dragon''': You mean... (whispers something back to Sir Giles, who comfirms it) Oh.
*'''Sir Giles''': Quite so.
*'''Dragon''': But are you sure it's quite honest?
*'''Sir Giles''': Just a second, we'll look.
*(Everyone looks into the boy's book)
*'''Rabbit''': Nothing against it here in the book.
*'''Dragon''': No, nothing against it here in the book.
*'''Boy''': If it looks like a battle, I'm sure it's all right.
*'''Sir Giles''': Very well, then, i''<nowiki/>''t's settled. Tomorrow, we fight.
*'''Boy''', '''Sir Giles''', '''Dragon''', '''Pooh and Company''': Good night. (x6)
*'''Dragon''': ''There's going to be a fight There's going to be a fight'' (realizes what he got himself into) A fight. Boy. Pooh and company. Sir Giles. Wait a minute. Oh, wait, please. Oh, why don't I keep my big mouth shut?
*(After they part ways)
*'''Rabbit''': Oh dear, mercy me.
*'''Piglet''': Oh dear, mercy me too. The dragon is going to have a real problem tomorrow.
