Flower

• What? Turtles are soooo scary.
• (after a turtle bites Ronno on the nose and won't let go) See? I told you turtles were scary.

Ronno

• Name's Ronno. (indicating his budding antlers) And these are the boys: Stab and Jab.
• (stifling laughter) Bambi? Isn't that a girl's name?
• (being bitten by a turtle on the nose) AAH!! AAAAH!!! GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFF!!!! MOMMY, GET IT OFF!!! MOOOOMYYYYY!!!! (runs off)
• "If we didn't have cowards, we couldn't tell who the brave ones are."
• "I wasn't finished talking about me!"

Great Prince

• Bambi, a Prince awakens before the forest does. If you're late again I'll have no choice but to -

• I think it's best to leave the past in the past. A Prince does not look back. Only ahead.

• Everything must get rest, Bambi. (yawning) Some at night, some during the day... (grumbling slightly) ...some not at all.

• (yawns and grumbles) Remind me to never let you eat blossoms before bedtime.

• (speaking to Bambi's seemingly dead body) Bambi, get up. Get up! A Prince does not - (stops, softens his stance)

Mena

• Bambi. I've heard so much about you. You know, your mama and I grew up together.

• (unknowingly quoting Bambi's late mother) Faster, Bambi! Don't look back! Keep running! Keep running!

Dialogue

The Great Prince: (uncovering a small, twiggy plant for Bambi to eat) Here.

Bambi: (seeing the plant) Uhh... No thanks...

The Great Prince: Have you ever tried it?

Bambi: Well... no.

The Great Prince: Then how do you know you don't like it if you've never tried it?

(Bambi has a dream in which he meets his mother)

Bambi: I miss you so much.

Bambi's Mother: Shh. There now. It's going to be all right. You'll see.

Bambi: Why'd you have to go?

Bambi's Mother: Everything in the forest has its season. Where one thing falls, another grows. Maybe not what was there before, but something new and wonderful all the same.

Bambi: But I feel so alone.

Bambi's Mother: I'm always with you. Even when you can't see me, I'm here.

Bambi: It was Mother. I heard her voice.

The Great Prince: That was one of Man's tricks!

Bambi: But I thought...

The Great Prince: What if I didn't come in time? You could've been... When I tell you to run, that means run! Never freeze like that, EVER!

Bambi: I'm... I'm sorry.

Thumper: Being brave is easy. I can teach you.

Bambi: You can?

Thumper: Sure. Watch this. (takes a deep breath) AAARRGH!

Flower: (whispering to Bambi) I think he's got a hairball.

Thumper: No, I'm being brave, silly! The trick is to be scarier than whatever's scaring you.

Thumper: I'm a mountain lion! Raarrgh!

Bambi: Oh! I'm a - a bear! (bleats)

Flower: I'm a turtle! Rrrrggh! (Bambi and Thumper look at him oddly) What? Turtles are soooo scary.

Ronno: (to Faline) That's the great thing about me: I don't feel any pain. Watch this! (Ronno runs headfirst into a tree)

(woozily) See? Nothin'.

Faline: (hearing a scream) What was that?

Ronno: Ah, probably just some poor dumb animal caught in a trap. So anyways...

Bambi: (in the distance) YEEEAAAUUUGH!

Faline: (gasps) Bambi! (dashes off)

Ronno: (angrily) HEY! I wasn't finished talking about me!

The Great Prince: (notices that Bambi has leapt over a large chasm) Did you jump?

Bambi: Uh, yeah.

The Great Prince: Hmm. I didn't make a jump like that until I had antlers. (Bambi brightens)

Thumper: Oh come on! You jumped farther than this yesterday!

Bambi: I don't know about this.

Thumper: Your're not afraid, are you? (singsong voice) You're too afraaaid! You cannot juuuump! Nya-nya-nya-nyyya-nya! Nya-nya, nyaaaahhh!

(Bambi jumps)

Thumper: You did it!

Bambi: (trying to master his dad's advice, he walks along with his eyes closed) Feel the forest. Feel the forest.

Great Prince: (seeing where Bambi is going) Bambi!

Bambi: Feel the - OOF! (walks headfirst into a tree) Heh, heh. Felt it.

Great Prince: Bambi, a prince does not...

Bambi: That's all you care about! Not about me!

Great Prince: Don't you speak to me...

Bambi: (running off) I wish Mother was here instead of you!

Thumper: You know, they're okay for sisters. It's just too bad they're girls.

Faline: (clearly offended) Hey!

Friend Owl: Ugh. Twitterpated.

Flower: What's 'twitterpated'?

Friend Owl: Oh, I'll, uh, tell you when your older.

Bambi: Oh! I gotta go! My dad's waiting for me!

Everyone: Bye, Bambi.

Thumper: Aww, Bambi, you never have time for us anymore.

Faline: Yeah. Isn't it wonderful?

Bambi: What were you like (when you were my age)?

Great Prince: Me? Well, let me think... Actually, I was a lot like you.
