Funny / The Wee Free Men

• This exchange between Tiffany and one of the traveling teachers:
  Teacher: "Zoology", eh? That's a big word, isn't it?
  Tiffany: No, actually it isn't. "Patronising" is a big word. "Zoology" is really quite short.
• "They went to sleep under the stars, which the math teachers would count, the astronomy teachers would measure and the literature teachers would name. The geography teachers got lost into woods and fell into bear traps."
• When Rob Anybody tells off Wentworth for whining about wanting sweets when they're trying to escape Elfland, Wentworth is impressed by the "Weewee men" to the point of obsession.
  Wentworth: Weewee men say, hit you in the head, fish-face!
• Tiffany, listening to the Feegles discover the dollhouse in her bedroom... along with toy soldiers and an elderly teddy bear, who they promptly attack. And then, Tiffany notes, the fight doesn't sound like it's going all one way - because two of them are actually fighting each other.
• Not-As-Big-As-Medium-Sized-Jock-But-Bigger-Than-Wee-Jock Jock is not only a common name among the Nac Mac Feegle, but also the name of several well-known and respected figures in the Nac Mac Feegle's history. So Not-As-Big-As-Medium-Sized-Jock-But-Bigger-Than-Wee-Jock Jock insists that everyone uses his proper name, much to Tiffany's chagrin.
  Tiffany: Wouldn't you rather have a nice name like 'Henry'?
  N.A.B.A.M.S.J.B.B.T.W.J.J: Ach, no! No history to it. But there's many a tale of the adventures of Not-As-Big-As-Medium-Sized-Jock-But-Bigger-Than-Wee-Jock Jock! Why, 'tis almost as famous a name as Wee Jock itself!
• After she finds out that the Feegles are helping out around the house, Tiffany absentmindedly wishes that she could make Ratbag (the farm's cat) stop killing baby birds. The Feegles hear this, and decide to solve the problem by disguising themselves as birds, and then headbutting Ratbag when he tries to attack them. Later, when Tiffany decides to go rescue Wentworth, some of the Feegles stay behind to make sure Ratbag gets the message. Clearly, it must have worked, because by the time Tiffany et all get back from Fariyland, the poor cat has taken to living on the roof.
  Feegles: CHEEP!
