"[Clattering Continues]" "I've never seen a sword like that." "[Sighs]" "I've got to have that sword." "Listen carefully." "We'll trade the Cauldron for the sword." "But what can they do with the Cauldron, Orddu ?" "Nothing !" "That's the point." "Don't you see ?" "We'll end up with both the sword and the Cauldron. [Chuckles]" "It's decided then." "You shall have the Black Cauldron." "You mean..." "you'll give it to us ?" "[ Laughs] That's not what I said." "You weren't listening." "We never give anything away." "What we do is bargain," "trade." "Well, you'll not have my sword !" "May I ask you ladies to perhaps consider this magnificent harp ?" "A harp ?" "Oh, when we want music, we send for the birds." " [ Birds Chirping]" "What would we do with a simple harp ?" "Wait!" "Gorge will trade his crunchings and munchings." "Who would want" "Hold it, sister." "Not so fast." "All right." "I know what you want." "Yes ?" "No, Taran !" "No !" "It's our only chance." "Here is my sword." "Take it." "Is it your own choice, duckling ?" "Remember:" "With this sword, you could be the greatest of warriors." "Yes." "I offer my dearest possession... in exchange for the Black Cauldron." "Agreed." "We have made a bargain."

"Only its evil powers can be stopped." "Then there is a way." "But how?" "A living being must climb into it... of his own free will." "Gorge is bold and brave." "He will climb into the evil Cauldron." "However, the poor duckling will never climb out alive." "Yikes !" "N-N-Now, look here, madam." "Don't forget we had an agreement." "Yes." "You said we could have the Cauldron." "Of course we said you could have the Cauldron." "It's not our fault you can't do anything with it."
