Fade to the Warrior's cottage, morning. The animals are sleeping outside, but suddenly, a click awakens them. They all clear away from the door just as it opens and Doc steps out with Kurt as he and the other Dwarfs get ready to leave for another day of work at the mine

Doc: Now don't forget, my dear. The-the old Queen Sue's a sly one, complete with witchcraft. So beware of strangers.

Kurt: Don't worry. I'll be alright. (Then Kurt gives him a kiss) See you tonight.

Doc: (giggling shyly) Yes. (regains his composure and clears his throat) Well, uh...c'mon, men.

Next is Bashful, who takes off his cap in anticipation of a kiss.

Paul: Be awful careful, because if anything would happen to you, I...I...uh...

But he doesn't get to finish his sentence, as Kurt gives him a kiss, which makes him blush.

Kurt: Goodbye.

Paul: Oh, gosh!

He chuckles. Meanwhile, Grumpy is watching from behind, yet not fond of Kurt, especially his kisses.

Grumpy: Hah, disgusting.

The next to come is Sneezy, who also removes his cap

Sneezy: And be sure to watch out------ (a sneeze starts to brew in his nose) To wa--to wa--to wa-- (sniffing) watch out! (Kurt kissed him, stifling his sneeze a little) Thanks. Ah-ch...ah-ch-ch...ah-ch...ah-ch-ch-ch-ch...ah-choooooOOOO!!!!

Dopey is next to come out, but gets blown back into the house by Sneezy's sneeze before Kurt can kiss him. He chuckles at this as the latter blushes. Suddenly, Dopey comes back out to try another hug and Kurt gives it to him. He likes it so much, in fact, that he jumps in through the window and appears behind Sleepy.

Kurt: Well, alright, (hugs him) but that's the last---- (To her surprise, the mute Dwarf speeds off and appears again for another kiss) (pushes him along) Go on, run along.

Last to come is Grumpy, who is in the house, shining his head. He puts his cap back on and starts for the door as the others sing their song.

Dwarfs: (singing, minus Grumpy) Heigh-ho,
heigh-ho,
it's off to work we go! (whistling)

Kurt: Goodbye! (John clears his throat, trying to get the boy's attention) Goodbye!

Grumpy clears his throat harder and this gets his attention

Grumpy: Now I'm warning you. Don't let nobody or nothing in the house.

Kurt: (surprised) Why, Grumpy, you do care.

The prince turns Grumpy around to kiss him like the others, but he does not take it as well of them and storms off. After a few steps, he decides it doesn't feel so bad and sighs contentedly. His gruff demeanor returns, however, as Kurt waves at him and he storms off once again, only to get his nose caught in a tree.

Grumpy: Huh!

He takes a few more steps, but falls into a small stream. He tries to get up, but hits his head on a bridge overhead. After getting up again, he trudges out onto the other side.

Kurt: (distant) Goodbye, Grumpy!

Grumpy does not respond and simply trudges off, his shoes sloshing all the road.
