The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock/Transcript

Grandpa Longneck: Since the very beginning of our world, there have been wonderful stories about how life began. There are tales of how the Bright Circle gave birth to the lesser lights of the dark time, which watch over us as we sleep. And many ways of explaining how our world itself was formed. And how the first strange, incredible creatures came to walk upon the land.
Littlefoot: Which of the stories are really true, Grandpa?
Grandpa Longneck: [Laughs] No one knows, Littlefoot. That is one of the great mysteries of life.
Littlefoot: Yeah, but-
Cera: Shh, Littlefoot!
Ducky: Please do not interrupt!
Petrie: Yeah! Petrie not like when you erupt neither!
Grandpa Longneck: [Clearing throat] As I was saying, after many crossing of the Bright Circle, great herds began to appear on the land: the Longnecks, the Spiketails, the Threehorns-
[Dana and Dinah appear and bounce on Cera, laughing as they do so]
Dana & Dinah: Oh Dana, Dinah. Threebie hornas! Hiya!
Cera: Hush, you two, or Auntie Cera’s gonna be upset!
Ducky: Ooh, “Auntie Cera!” Well! [Laughs]
[Cera growls at Ducky]
Grandpa Longneck: [Laughs] All right, children.
Littlefoot: What happened then, Grandpa?
Grandpa Longneck: Some of these herds, in their migrations across the land, found the most fertile, beautiful place in the world.
All: The Great Valley!
Grandpa Longneck: Yes! And life in the Great Valley was good until one day, the Sharptooth came!
[Sharptooth roars and the Longnecks in the valley flee]
Grandpa Longneck: And not just any Sharptooth, but the biggest, meanest, most ferocious Sharptooth ever!
[The Sharptooth continues to give chase. A young Brachiosaurus trips and gets his leg stuck stuck under a root]
Young Longneck: [Gasps] Mama!
[The Mother Longneck gasps and returns to her son, who shrieks in surprise as the Sharptooth approaches]
Grandpa Longneck: But then, just when the Longnecks thought all was lost, the Lone Dinosaur appeared on the horizon
Petrie: The who?
Cera: The what?
Grandpa Longneck: The Lone Dinosaur!
Ducky: But what is a lone-
Littlefoot: Shh!
Grandpa Longneck: The battle seemed to last for hours. It was a spectacle no one had ever seen before! A lone leaf-eater taking on a Sharptooth.
[The Sharptooth roars in pain as the Lone Dinosaur whacks him with his tail]
Grandpa Longneck: But then-
[The Sharptooth drags its claws across the Lone Dinosaur’s eye, severely scarring him. As the Sharptooth prepares to attack its wounded enemy, the Lone Dinosaur wraps his tail around him and knocks the Sharptooth into a rock and eventually into the canyon with a loud thud]
[The Longnecks rejoice]
Young Longneck: Wait! Come back, come back!
[The Lone Dinosaur leaves the valley]
Grandpa Longneck: And just as suddenly as he had appeared, the Lone Dinosaur went away.
All: Ahh!
Cera: That’s it?
Petrie: He just leave?
Littlefoot: Nobody ever saw him again?
Grandpa Longneck: Well, legend has it that not long after the defeat of the Sharptooth-
Mother Longneck: Earthshake! [Gasps]
[The earth rumbles as rocks fall in the valley and dinosaurs flee. A large rock emerges, forming a longneck-shaped rock]
[The dinosaurs gasp in awe]
Grandpa Longneck: So they called it “Saurus Rock”. And it’s there to this very day. Sometimes, when the wind is just right and blows away the mists, you can see it watching over the Great Valley just like the Lone Dinosaur did so many years ago. They say if you very closely, you can see the circle of teeth around its neck.
Littlefoot: Real teeth?
Grandpa Longneck: The story goes that they came from the very Sharptooth the Lone Dinosaur defeated.
All: Whoa.
[Dana and Dinah whimper in fear]
Cera: They say that some nights, you can see the ghost of that Sharptooth wandering around looking for his teeth!
[Cera roars and pounces on the twins, who yelp in surprise. The others laugh]
Dana: Scary Dana! Uh-uh.
Dinah: Dinah no no! Uh-uh.
Grandpa Longneck: [Laughs] Well, I’ve never heard that part of the legend, but they do say that if anything ever happens to Saurus Rock, bad luck will descend upon the Great Valley.
Littlefoot: Is it all true, Grandpa?
Grandpa Longneck: Well [Laughs] it’s a grand adventure and a really good story, and it is nice to think that somewhere out there is a Lone Dinosaur watching over us all.
Grandma Longneck: Grandpa Longneck! Are you filling these children’s heads full of nonsense and just before bedtime?
Grandpa Longneck: [Stutters] Why, uh, no, I was just-
Grandma Longneck: Yes, I know, but it’s late. Time for little ones to be in the nest resting for another day
[Dana and Dinah yawn]
Petrie: [Yawns] She right. Me pooped. Night, Littlefoot.
Littlefoot: Night, Petrie.
Ducky: Now Spike, do not be scared to walk home in the dark. The Lone Dinosaur will protect us. He will!
[Spike mumbles in agreement]
Ducky: But just in case, you go first.
Cera: Come on, you two.
Dana & Dinah: No uppies. Dinah Dana sleepy [Sighs]
Cera: Oh, alright. Hop on.
Dana & Dinah: [Laughs] Uppy uppy!
Cera: Ow! Don’t yank my horns! They’re attached, you know.
Grandma Longneck: [Laughs] And now it’s your turn, Littlefoot.
Littlefoot: [Yawns] Yes, Grandma. I’m the Lone Dinosaur, I can find my way home in the dark all alone! Um, you coming?
[The scene shifts into a dream sequence. The Sharptooth roars loudly]
Mother Longneck: [Gasps] There he is! The Lone Dinosaur!
[The Sharptooth gasps in fear as Littlefoot strikes his foot with his tail]
Littlefoot: Hiya!
[The Sharptooth hops away. Littlefoot scoffs as the Longnecks cheer before waking up.]
Littlefoot: I wonder if it’s really all true.
[A dinosaur appears on the horizon, thudding loudly before the scene shifts to the young dinosaurs laughing and playing]
All: More Treestars! More Treestars! Look over here!
Topsy: What are you children doing?
Cera: Oh, hi Daddy.
Littlefoot: Hello, sir. We were just, uh-
Topsy: Don’t you kids realize this is the Time of the Changing Treestars? We can’t waste those that haven’t fallen yet! They must be eaten before they dry up. Do you want us to run out of food entirely?
Grandpa Longneck: Now now, there’s no need to frighten the young ones.
Topsy: [Scoffs] Anyways, Cera, you should be watching the twins.
Cera: Daddy, I am watching them!
Topsy: Oh really? Then where are they?
[Dinah & Dana fall from the tree, laughing]
Cera: Right here, see?
Topsy: Oh, I knew those Longnecks should’ve been watching!
Cera: Way to go! You almost got me in big trouble.
Dana: Oh Dana, no no.
Dinah: Boohoo Dinah!
Petrie: What we gonna do now?
Ducky: We do not want Cera’s dad mad at us again! No, no, no!
Littlefoot: Hey, I’ve got it! We can play “Lone Dinosaur”!
Petrie: Huh?
Cera: How do you play?
Littlefoot: Well, one of us is the Lone Dinosaur, one of us is the Sharptooth, and the rest are the ones who get chased and saved!
Cera: Who gets to be the Lone Dinosaur?
Littlefoot: Well, it was my idea.
Cera: Then who’s the Sharptooth?
Littlefoot: Well, it should be somebody who’s pretty big and can act pretty mean.
Cera: Me?
Dana & Dinah: Cerrie! Cerrie! Cerrie!
Cera: how come I have to be the bad guy?
Littlefoot: Well, you uh, you’re so good at pretend.
Petrie: ‘Member how you scare twins last night?
Ducky: It scared me! It scared Spike, too. Right Spike?
[Spike reluctantly murmurs in agreement]
Littlefoot: Then it’s settled!
[Cera roars and the other yell in surprise.]
Littlefoot: [Clearing throat] Never fe- Never fear, I’m coming! Hmm, gotta make a big entrance.
Littlefoot: [Gasps] Perfect!
[He climbs up the log as Cera chases the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs cheer and yell]
Cera: [Roars] Now I have you!
Ducky: No! Please do not eat us, mean old Sharptooth! Oh, no, no, no!
Petrie: Yeah! Me too young to get ate!
Littlefoot: Stand back, big bad Sharptooth! Never fear! The Lone Dinosaur is-
[Littlefoot screams as he falls off the log only to be caught by a longneck]
Petrie: Littlefoot!
Littlefoot: Whoa. Gee, thanks! For a second there, I thought I was-
[Littlefoot gasps sharply]
Littlefoot: It’s-It’s you! I mean, you’re here! I mean, who are you?
Doc: Name’s Doc.
Topsy: What’s going on here? Who is this? Are you bothering our kids?
Cera: Daddy, no!
Petrie: Him save Littlefoot!
Grandpa Longneck: Saved Littlefoot?
Grandma Longneck: Goodness! Are you alright, little one?
Littlefoot: Yes, Grandma. I was climbing on that rotten log and I fell.
Petrie: Me see him! He fall very fast ‘cause he not Flyer like me!
Ducky: And this very big and very nice Longneck is there!
Cera: And he caught him! Of course, we probably would’ve caught him too.
Grandpa Longneck: Well, wherever you came from, you have my thanks for saving my grandson.
Grandma Longneck: Welcome to the Great Valley. Welcome!
Doc: Just passing through.
Grandma Longneck: Well, stay just as long as you want.
Topsy: Hold on there! We don’t know anything about this fellow! Who is he? Where’s his herd?
Doc: Kind of a loner.
Topsy: Might suspicious if you ask me! I say send him on his way!
Doc: You sure you feel up to it, friend?
Topsy: [Stutters] Well, I- That is, uh-
Grandpa Longneck: Uh, our life here is a sheltered one. Uh, perhaps we’ve forgotten how to greet unexpected guests. As Grandma said, you are welcome here. What’s our is yours.
Topsy: What? But it’s the time of the Changing Treestars! Every day, there’s less food to go around, and Longnecks eat a lot!
Grandpa Longneck: There’s still plenty for all.
Topsy: [Scoffs] Longnecks! Always stick together!
Grandpa Longneck: [Laughs] Don’t mind him. He’s a good sort, once you get to know him.
Doc: Don’t know as I want to stay that long.
[The young dinosaurs laugh]
Grandma Longneck: Alright, children. Run and play. Let’s give our guest some peace.
Cera: Littlefoot, come on!
[They leave. Later that day.]
Doc: Hello, kid.
Littlefoot: Hi.
Doc: Shouldn’t you be with your little pals?
Littlefoot: I, uh, I just wanted to say thanks again for saving my life.
Doc: Hmm, Lucky catch.
Littlefoot: Hey! If you like Treestars, there’s a big grove of them down by the-
Doc: By the watering hole, past the tall grass.
Littlefoot: How’d you know?
Doc: Been here before.
Littlefoot: [Gasps] Where’d you get that scar?
Doc: Cut myself.
Littlefoot: On what?
Doc: Something sharp.
Littlefoot: Like a tooth? A sharp tooth?
Doc: Kid, I think I hear your friends calling.
Littlefoot: [Stammers] Yeah, me too. Nice talking to you. Oh boy!
[At the mud swamp.]
Petrie: [Yelps] Yuck! Hey, my skin feel softer already.
Cera: Come on! Last one across is Sharptooth bait!
Dana & Dinah: [Laughs] Cerrie!
Cera: [Laughs] Whoa! Watch out, don’t push Auntie-
[She falls as the twins get to the other side by hopping bubbles.]
Dinah: Uh-oh, Dinah, uh-oh.
Dana: Dana no no! Uh-oh.
Cera: [Echoes] Let me out of here! Help! Help! Help!
Petrie: [Gasps] Me coming!0
[Petrie pups the bubble. Cera gasps in surprise before falling into the mud. The twins and Ducky laugh while Spike murmurs]
Cera: Grr.
Ducky: [Laughs] Hey!
[Spike hums to himself]
Dana: Cerrie mad us?
Dinah: Smiley Cerrie?
[The twins gasp as they roll towards her, laughing]
Cera: Leave me alone, you little pests. Get lost!
[The twins whimper sadly]
Ducky: Cera!
Cera: What, what?
[Littlefoot arrives]
Littlefoot: [Grunts] Hey guys, guess what?
Cera: What? What?
Littlefoot: I just figured out who Doc is!
Cera: What’s the big mystery? He’s a squinty-eyed old Longneck with no friends!
Petrie: Me could have tell you that.
Littlefoot: No! He’s the Lone Dinosaur!
Ducky: That is what Cera said, he is a lone dinosaur.
Littlefoot: Not a lone dinosaur, the Lone Dinosaur!
Cera: Are you crazy?
Littlefoot: You should talk to him! He’s been to the Great Valley before, he’s got this mysterious scar, he can do fancy tricks with his tail, and we know he’s a hero ‘cause he saved me!
Cera: Well, I’ve saved you lots of times. Does that make me the Lone Threehorn?
[They all laugh]
Littlefoot: Guys, I’m serious! Listen!
[‘The Legend of the Lone Dinosaur’ is sung]LittlefootLong ago on a mountain topa mighty egg was laid Burned by the light of the circle brightand cooled by the forest shade Then one stormy evening when the icy rain did pourout of the egg appeared the leg of the Lone Dinosaur His neck was long and limberhis shoulders broad and lean His eye was high as the mornin' sky and his vision it was keen He wandered strong and silent across the valley floor and everybody called him the Lone Dinosaur Dinosaur...His tail was swift as lightning Dinosaur...His heart was brave and pure Dinosaur... Whenever times were frightening call his name and he'd be there for sure Lone Dinosaur One day when he was roaming alone out in the west A vicious pack of Sharpteeth came and gobbled up his nest He tracked that pack of varmints and fought them by the score He left them lying toothlessPetrieToothless.LittlefootAnd he gave a mighty roarTogetherDinosaur!LittlefootHe promised his protectionTogetherDinosaur!LittlefootTo the helpless and the poorTogetherDinosaur!LittlefootWhenever there was danger They'd never be defenseless anymore This he swore The Lone DinosaurTogetherDinosaur...CeraHis tail is swift as lightningTogetherDinosaur...DuckyHis heart is brave and pureTogetherDinosaur...PetrieWhenever times are frightening he'll be there to fight the carnivoreLittlefootThe Lone DinosaurTogetherYee-haw!* [The song ends]
Littlefoot: Well?
Cera: Hmm.
Ducky: Wow, the Lone Dinosaur!
Petrie: Right here!
Cera: Wait a second! Your Grandma said all that stuff about the Lone Dinosaur is just a story!
Petrie: That right! Me hear her!
Littlefoot: Well, I think it really happened!
Cera: Even if it did, it couldn’t have been Doc! That was a long, long, long, time ago! The real Lone Dinosaur wouldn’t still be alive, would he?
Petrie: Me no know.
Ducky: I do not know either, I do not.
Littlefoot: Well, I think he is alive, and he’s right here in the Great Valley! I’ll bet if you ever got a good look at Saurus Rock, you’d see it looks just like Doc!
Dana & Dinah: Dana, Dinah, rocky go go! Now!
Grandpa Longneck: Oh, Littlefoot!
Littlefoot: I’ve got to go. Listen, don’t say anything about this to the grown-ups, okay?
Cera: [Scoffs] Don’t worry, we don’t want them to know you’re nuts too!
Grandpa Longneck: Littlefoot!
Littlefoot: Well, bye!
Cera: Saurus Rock! Hmph!
[Dana & Dinah giggle and walk away]
Littlefoot: [Imitates Doc] You talking to me? You talking to me? Well who are you talking to? You sure you feel up to it, friend?
[Littlefoot yelps as he hits his tail on a rock]
Grandpa Longneck: [Laughs] Time to settle down, Littlefoot.
Littlefoot: Uh, Grandpa. I was just, uh-
Grandpa Longneck: I know. It’s exciting to meet someone new and different, and you’ll have plenty of time to get to know him better. But for now, it’s time for some rest.
Littlefoot: Yes, Grandpa.
[Littlefoot yawns]
Littlefoot: Night, Grandpa.
Grandpa Longneck: Mmm.
[Grandpa Longneck laughs and Littlefoot goes to sleep. as dawn approached, Littlefoot is still sleeping until Cera arrived and nudged him awake]
Littlefoot: Huh, what? Cera?
Cera: Have you seen them? Are they here? Please say they’re here!
Littlefoot: Huh? Who?
Cera: The twins!
Littlefoot: Mhm, no, they’re not here.
Cera: Oh, no! They’ve disappeared!
[Later]
Cera: [Shouts] Dinah! Dana!
Littlefoot: Kids?
Petrie: [Grunts] Yoo-hoo!
[Spike chews a bush loudly]
Ducky: Hello, twins? Are you in there? Uh-oh, sorry Mrs. Maia, I- whoa!
[Mrs. Maia grunts and tosses Ducky out of her nest]
Ducky: [Grunts] Oof! Oh, now I am really sorry, yep, yep, yep!
Cera: This is terrible! I’m gonna be in so much trouble, I was in charge of them!
[Cera grunts, ramming her horn into a tree]
Littlefoot: Cera, calm down. We’ll find them.
Ducky: Yes, they cannot be too far away.
Littlefoot: Let’s think about this: When was the last time you saw them?
Cera: Let’s see. Yesterday by the Bubbling Goo, they pushed me in, I got mad. I told them to get lost!
Petrie: Huh, that right! She said that, me heard her!
Cera: Who knew they even knew what that means?
Littlefoot: Then what happened?
Cera: Then you showed up and started talking about Doc and the Lone Dinosaur, and what Saurus Rock must look like, and....
All: Saurus Rock!
[Dana & Dinah laugh as they jump on the rocks]
Dana: Sorry, rocky!
Dinah: Go, go us!
[The twins gasp and laugh as they continue to climb]
Cera: [Wistful] And I remember the day Dinah said her first words. Or was it Dana? “Shiny peep-eye no no!” Whatever that means.
Ducky: It is simple. That means “The Bright Circle is shining in my eyes and it hurts!”
Cera: How’d you know that?
Ducky: I am also a twin. 13 of us hatched at the same time, 13 twins!
Littlefoot: Come on, you guys, we’ve got a long way to go!
Cera: So then, what does “No no Grampy Threebie grr” mean?
Ducky: That means “Never make Grandpa Threehorn mad!”
Cera: Are you sure about that one?
Ducky: No, but it is good advice just the same!
[Dinah & Dana gasp before jumping across the rocks, laughing and grunting]
Cera: They’re out there somewhere. So little, and tired, so scared.
[Dana & Dinah leapfrog over one another and laugh. An Allosaurus Sharptooth sniffs loudly and growls]
[The Sharptooth groans loudly in pain as it becomes stuck in a tree]
Cera: Oh no, the twins could never have gotten across there!
Ducky: Wait! Remember the bubbling brown goo?
[Ducky jumps forward]
Ducky: Whoa! Maybe they hopped across the big ditch, yep, yep, yep!
Littlefoot: [Grunts] It’s not hard! C’mon, Cera!
Cera: [Groans] The things I do for family.
[Cera grunts and jumps across]
Cera: Whoa! Hey, this kind of fun!
Petrie: Let’s go, Spike, me right there with you!
[Spike murmurs and shakes his head]
Petrie: You can do it, just no look down!
[Petrie strains, pushing against Spike, who almost falls in]
Petrie: Spike, no!
[Spike grunts]
Petrie: No look down, but look at something!
[Spike gasps, sitting on Petrie, who yelps]
Petrie: Not bad for first try.
Cera: You can do it, Spike!
Ducky & Littlefoot: Come on, Spike!
Petrie: Oh! Wait for Petrie!
[Spike jumps across and chews noisily on a leaf. The rocks tumble down]
Littlefoot: Oh…
Petrie: Me guess we take the long way home.
[Later]
Littlefoot: Whoa! Not even Grandpa could reach those Treestars!
Cera: My Dad could!
Petrie: How?
Cera: The Threehorn way. He’d just knock it right over.
Littlefoot: One of these trees? I don’t think so.
Cera: Oh, yeah? Watch this!
[Cera rams into a tree and grunts loudly]
Littlefoot: Uh, nice one.
Petrie: Me convinced.
Cera: That sure didn’t feel like a tree trunk.
Petrie: It no look like tree trunk either.
Ducky: And it does not sound like a tree trunk. No, no-no!
[The young dinosaurs all scream and run from the Allosaur.]
Littlefoot: It is not a tree trunk!
[They scream again as the Sharptooth growls before getting stuck. The young dinosaurs breathe heavily]
Littlefoot: [Breathes] I think we lost him.
[Littlefoot gasps sharply as he looks at Saurus Rock]
Petrie: Ooh!
Cera: Whoa.
Littlefoot: Saurus Rock does look like Doc!
Cera: Sort of.
Petrie: Maybe.
Ducky: A little.
Cera: [Gasps] And there’s the twins! Dinah, Dana! Thank goodness you’re okay!
Dana & Dinah: Huh?
Dana: Cerrie, looka whee!
Dinah: Us uppie!
Dana & Dinah: Uppie!
Cera: What’d they say?
Ducky: They say look at them, they are high up on the top.
Cera: Yeah, so be careful!
[Dana & Dinah laugh]
Cera: Look out!
Littlefoot: Hold on, we’re coming!
[The young dinosaurs strain to climb the rocks; Spike groans loudly]
Petrie: Roll other way, roll other way!
Cera: [Strains] Hang on twins, I’m almost there!
[Cera gasps sharply while the twins continue to laugh and roll; they fall off and yelp in fear]
Cera: [Grunts] Ahh!
[Cera, Dana, and Dinah yell as they fall to the ground. Spike mumbles and faints]
Dana: Uh-oh.
Dinah: Oops!
Dana: [Whines] Sad us, Cerrie.
Dinah: Dana, Dinah, no no.
Cera: It’s okay. It’s not your fault Saurus Rock got broken, (to Littlefoot) it's yours!
Littlefoot: [Gasps] Me?! What’d I do?
Cera: If you hadn’t been talking about Saurus Rock, Dinah and Dana wouldn’t have run away in the first place!
Dana: Cerrie say so.
Dinah: We bye-bye.
Dana: Bye!
Cera: What did the little dears say?
Ducky: They said you are the one who told them to get lost.
[The young dinosaurs laugh]
Cera: I’m also the one who won’t come and save you the next if you run away again, got it?
Dinah: Uh-huh.
Dana: Yeah.
Cera: And not a word about this to Grandpa Threehorn.
Dana: Uh-uh. No!
Dinah: No!
Cera: ‘Cause you don’t wanna see Grandpa Threehorn when he’s mad! When Grandpa Threehorn gets mad, it’s even scarier than- than!
Littlefoot: A Sharptooth!
Cera: No, I think a Sharptooth’s a little bit scarier. Maybe.
Ducky: No, no, Cera! Really, behind you!
Cera: Oh, come on. Don’t try that old gag on me!
[The Sharptooth growls]
Cera: Okay, Ducky, nice try. You almost sound like a Sharptooth.
[Saliva drips down from the Sharptooth’s mouth]
Cera: Hey, is it starting to rain? Argh! Sharptooth drool!
[The young dinosaurs shriek as the Sharptooth roars]
Cera: Yuck! It spit on me!
Petrie: It will pick its teeth with you if you no hurry!
Littlefoot: This way!
[They turned and Cera finds a log.]
Cera: Hey everybody, in here!
Ducky: Cera, it is a good thing that Sharpteeth are not very smart.
Petrie: It dark in here.
Ducky: Oof, Spike! Do not poke me!
Littlefoot: Shh! Quiet!
Ducky: Hey, what is this?
[Ducky screams while the Sharptooth shakes the log; the others yell sharply]
Dana: Whoa!
[The allosaur tosses the log away.]
Cera: Oh, great. Where are we now?
Petrie: Me no know, but it sure still dark in here.
Ducky: Maybe we are in his tummy.
Dana: Yuckie!
Dinah: Yeesh, blah!
Petrie: [Grunts] It no look like tummy. Me no see Sharptooth at all. Hey! No problem, you guys can walk right cross big ditch.
Cera: [Grunts] He’s right! Let’s go!
Cera: [Struggling] Oh! Dinah, Dana, come on!
Dana & Dinah: [Strains] Whoa!
Cera: Pay attention! We’re going that way.
[Dana & Dinah giggle loudly]
Cera: Move it!
Ducky: [Yelps] I do not like this, no, no, no!
Petrie: No worry! You Swimmer, right?
Ducky: Mhm-hm.
Petrie: If you fall, there a skinny little river way down there that you might land in. Maybe.
Ducky: Oh, thank you. I feel so much better now!
Littlefoot: [Strains] Okay, Spike, let’s go!
[Spike grunts]
Littlefoot: That’s it, atta boy. What’s the matter?
[Spike struggles]
Littlefoot: You’re not stuck, are you?
[Spike continues to grunt and force his way out of the log; the Sharptooth appears and growls]
Littlefoot: You don’t know how sorry I am to hear that!
Cera: Come on, Spike, move!
Littlefoot: Spike!
[Spike struggles loudly while Littlefoot strains to pull him out]
Petrie: [Strains] Oh! Ahh!
Cera: Go, Spike, go! C’mon!
Littlefoot: Run!
[The Sharptooth roars as it falls into the canyon]
Littlefoot: Whoa.
Cera: [Sighs] Ugh, what a day! I thought we’d never get home.
Littlefoot: [Breathes] Hey, we got the twins back, and your dad never even knew they ran away!
Topsy: Ran away?
Cera: [Gasps] Hi, Daddy.
Topsy: What do you mean, Cera? Did the twins really run away?
Cera: Well, uh, sort of, for a little while, but they didn’t go far.
Dana: Ussie go, go.
Dinah: Sorry, rocky.
Dana: Far!
Ducky: They said they went to Saurus Rock.
Topsy: Saurus Rock? Cera, it was your duty to watch the twins and you failed!
Cera: Yes, Daddy.
Topsy: I am very disappointed in you! Now you march yourself right home. Apparently, you still need to be watched yourself! Losing the twins! I never heard of such a thing! It’s absurd!
Littlefoot: Me and my big mouth.
Ducky: Do not feel bad, Littlefoot.
Petrie: It not your fault, just bad luck.
Ducky: Just like your Grandpa said it would be if anything happened to Saurus Rock. First we have bad luck, then the whole Great Valley will have bad luck, then maybe the whole dinosaur world will have bad luck, then maybe even the whole universe will have bad luck.
Littlefoot: Gosh, she’s right! Bad luck!
[The rock crumbles loudly and Littlefoot shrieks in fear before waking up and panting heavily]
Grandpa Longneck: Littlefoot, are you alright?
Littlefoot: [Pants] Just a bad dream.
Grandpa Longneck: Well, it’s all over now. Try to get back to sleep.
Littlefoot: Grandpa? What if something happened to Saurus Rock?
Grandpa Longneck: What do you mean?
Littlefoot: Something bad. Like, it broke, or somebody broke it or something.
Grandpa Longneck: As I told you, the legend says bad luck would descend upon the Great Valley.
[Grandpa Longneck chuckles]
Grandpa Longneck: But, no time for stories tonight. Sleep now, little one.
Petrie: Just bad luck.
Ducky: Like your grandpa said, the whole Great Valley!
Grandpa Longneck: Bad luck!
Ducky: Then the whole dinosaur world!
Petrie: Bad luck!
Grandpa Longneck: Bad luck!
Petrie: Bad luck?
Littlefoot: Yeah, just like you said. Ever since we came back from Saurus Rock.
Petrie: [Laughs] Me just say that. Me no believe in bad luck? Huh?
Littlefoot: Ducky! What happened to your beak?
Ducky: I got it stuck in a hive of buzzing stingers.
Littlefoot: What about Spike’s tail?
Ducky: Same thing.
Littlefoot: You don’t call that bad luck?
Petrie: Nah, could happen to anybody.
[Petrie falls back into a tree and yelps as he is pursued by buzzing stingers]
Ducky: Do not worry, Littlefoot. What is a little bad luck?
[‘Bad Luck’ is sung]LittlefootIf the mountain starts to blow its top that's bad luckDuckyIf the sky water falls and it just won't stop that's bad luckCeraUgh!

Littlefoot: What do you think, Cera?
Cera: The only bad luck I ever had was having to watch those crazy twins, and now my Dad treats me like a baby.
Dana: Cerrie!
Dinah: Cerrie!
Dana: Grampie Threebie! Now!
Dinah: Yoohoo go, go! Now!
Ducky: Uh, your Dad wants you home.
Cera: See what I mean? They’re in charge of me. Whoa!
[Cera trips and falls over the twins, and landed on some flowers. Dana laughs]
Littlefoot: It’s just like Grandpa said. If something happens to Saurus Rock, bad luck descends on the Valley.
Petrie: Maybe but so far we the only ones having bad luck.
Littlefoot: Yeah, but what if starts happening to everybody? It’ll be our fault.
Topsy: This is serious, Longneck. What could make the watering place dry up like this?
Grandpa Longneck: Hmm, perhaps the last Earthshake moved it under the ground.
Petrie’s Mom: This is horrible! Oh!
[The dinosaurs bicker indistinctly]
Grandpa Longneck: Please, please everyone. Calm down. There is still plenty of water in the Great Valley.
Topsy: Yes, but this watering place was the coolest and the clearest.
Mrs. Maia: Oh, why did it have to be the one that dried up?
Lambeosaurus: Very bad luck if you ask me.
[The dinosaurs bicker again; Littlefoot gasps]
Littlefoot: Hi, Doc. Mind if I hang around?
Doc: Suit yourself.
Littlefoot: Hey Doc, you believe in bad luck?
Doc: Seen too much of it not to.
Littlefoot: [Gulps] Say you’re having a lot of bad luck; what can you do about it?
Doc: Change what you can, accept what you can’t.
Littlefoot: You can change luck? Really? How?
Doc: If there’s a problem, try to fix it. If you can’t, sometimes you just have to move on.
Littlefoot: Oh. What if, what if you don’t want to move on?
Doc: Then you’re asking the wrong Longneck, kid. I’m a loner. That’s the way I’ve always lived. This valley’s nice, but there are others just as nice out there somewhere. I’ve always done it my way, moving on, looking for someplace a little better,
Littlefoot: Don’t you ever get lonesome.
Doc: Sometimes. Sometimes I feel a bit crowded too. My footsteps were planted on the wandering trail long ago. I’m too old to change now.
Grandpa Longneck: Hmm.
[The young dinosaurs laugh and play]
Ducky: Ugh, whoa! Whoa!
Petrie: Haha, whoa!
[A while later a huge windstorm blew.]
Cera: What’s going on?
Littlefoot: I don’t know! We should find our folks.
Grandma Longneck: Oh dear!
Grandpa Longneck: I don’t like the looks of this.
Grandma Longneck: The children! Find the children!
Grandpa Longneck: Littlefoot! Littlefoot!
Topsy: Cera! Cera!
Cera: Oh no, where are the twins?
[The twins struggle against the wind]
Grandma Longneck: Hurry, little ones.
Grandpa Longneck: Littlefoot!
Littlefoot: Where are you, Grandpa?
Dana: Whoa!
Cera: Hang on! Auntie Cera’s here!
Grandpa Longneck: Littlefoot, where are you?
[Grandpa Longneck is hit by a tree; he grunts]
Topsy: Cera?
Cera: Daddy!
Topsy: Cera!
[Cera grunts as she carries the twins towards her father]
Doc: [Gasps] Hang on, kid! Keep your head down!
Grandpa Longneck: Littlefoot! Oh!
Cera: It’s- it’s over.
Grandpa Longneck: Oh, Littlefoot!
Littlefoot: Grandpa?
Grandpa Longneck: Oh, Littlefoot.
Littlefoot: He saved me, Doc saved me! Again!
Grandpa Longneck: Then I thank you, again.
Doc: Eh, lucky break.
Grandma Longneck: Grandpa! Littlefoot! Thank goodness you’re both safe!
Petrie: Me never see swirling wind like that before.
Du: Oh no, no, no.
Dana: Cerrie ussie!
Dinah: Blowie no no!
Dana: Whoosh!
Topsy: [Laughs] Yes. It is good that Cera didn’t let you blow away. Cera? I am very proud of you. Ohh, just look at our beautiful Valley!
Grandpa Longneck: Well, looking at it won’t get it cleaned up.
[The young dinosaurs strain to push a log; the twins do the same with a rock]
Topsy: Mighty strange the way things have been happening lately. Take this storm, for instance.
Grandpa Longneck: We’ve had whirling winds before; they’re just part of the circle of life.
Topsy: I know, but it seems to me that we’ve suffered more than our share of misfortunes since a certain stranger came to the Valley.
Grandpa Longneck: Now, Mr. Threehorn-
Lambeosaurus: I agree with Threehorn here. Life was good in this Valley, just fine! And then he shows up and everything fall apart.
Mrs. Maia: That’s right!
Valley Dinosaur: Our luck has turned!
Valley Dinosaur 2: It’s the stranger’s fault!
Lambeosaurus: He’s bad luck!
Grandpa Longneck: Please, everyone. You’re being unfair.
Topsy: Understand me, Longneck, I’m not saying anything against the fellow; he may be quite fine in his own way. Apparently, he saved your boy and-
Littlefoot: That’s right, he did!
Grandpa Longneck: Littlefoot.
Littlefoot: Doc did save my life! He’s a real life hero, the only one I ever met.
Topsy: Calm down, son. I merely meant that-
Littlefoot: Doc is the bravest and-and the best Longneck that ever was!
Topsy: I never said he wasn’t, Littlefoot. All I said was that he brought bad luck to the Valley.
Littlefoot: He didn’t, he didn’t!
Grandma Longneck: Alright, Littlefoot. Alright, shh.
[Littlefoot gives a small sob]
Topsy: See here, Longneck. I, uh, didn’t mean to make the boy-
Grandpa Longneck: I know, I know. We’re all a bit upset. I suggest we discuss these matters latter. For now it’s best that we all pitch in.
[The dinosaurs mutter indistinctly]
Petrie: Littlefoot? You okay?
Littlefoot: Yeah. I’m fine.
Cera: All the bad luck-
Ducky: It’s not his fault-
Cera: Yes it is.
Ducky: No it isn’t.
Cera: Yes it is.
Ducky: No it isn’t.
Cera: Well, I agree with my Dad. I think Doc did cause all the bad luck.
Littlefoot: We know who caused the bad luck, Cera, and it wasn’t Doc. It was us.
Cera: Look, I never liked the guy much, okay? And I’m not even sure I believe in this bad luck stuff. But if the grownups wanna blame him, why not let ‘em?
Littlefoot: ‘Cause it’s not fair! They’re gonna end up chasing him away and I don’t want him to go.
Cera: Well, there’s nothing you can do about it anyway.
Littlefoot: Yes there is. I can fix it!
Cera: [Spits] What?
Littlefoot: I’m not gonna let Doc take the blame for all this! If they won’t help me, I’ll just have to do what a Lone Dinosaur would do: go off by myself and change what I can. Maybe I can change our luck.
[Littlefoot leaves]
Petrie: Why you say that, Cera?
Cera: I didn’t mean to make him mad, but, hey, my Dad’s happy with me again. I’d be crazy to let him find out we caused all this lousy luck.
Ducky: I thought you did not believe in bad luck.
Cera: Do you?
Ducky: I do not know.
Cera: [Grunts] Hmm.
[The young dinosaurs yell in surprise as the logs fall]
Petrie: Petrie believe bad luck real.
Cera: Well, maybe I believe it.
Ducky: If it is bad luck, Littlefoot is right. We did cause it. Yep, yep, yep.
Cera: Well then, we’ll just have to fix it.
All: We?
Littlefoot': Who needs them anyway? I’m a Lone Dinosaur. I don’t need anybody. Gee, I wonder if all the other Lone Dinosaurs talk out loud to themselves like this? They must. It would be too quiet.

[The dinosaurs begin to look for Littlefoot]
Ducky: Littlefoot!
Cera: Littlefoot, where’d you go?
Petrie: Me no find him anywhere!
Dana: No see ussie!
Dinah: Dinah, Dana!
Dana & Dinah: Uh-uh!
Cera: What was it he said, right before he left?
Petrie: Littlefoot say he gonna fix it!
Ducky: Fix what?
Cera: Uh, the bad luck, I guess?
Ducky: Yes, but how?
Cera: Well, he said we caused it when we broke the Sharptooth’s tooth off Saurus Rock.
[They all gasp]
Cera: Uh-oh. You kids better wait with Grandpa Threehorn. We’ve got something we need to do.
[The gang leaves]
Littlefoot: Let’s see, now where- there he is! Right where he landed! Just one tooth!
[Littlefoot nearly falls and gasps]
Littlefoot: That’s all I need!
[He gasps again]
Littlefoot: If I can get it back on Saurus Rock, all the bad luck will end!
Littlefoot: (Breathily) And Doc can stay!
Grandpa Longneck: So that's it? You're leaving? You don't have to go. Nobody really blames you for these misfortunes. Such things are just part of the circle of life.
Doc: I'd be moving on anyway. Now's as good a time as any. No need to cause trouble.
Grandpa Longneck: Littlefoot will miss you.
Doc: He's a good kid. Well, better get started while the Bright Circle's high.
Grandpa Longneck: Well, you're always welcome if you happen to be headed this way again.
Doc: Much obliged.
[He leaves]
Kids: Grandpa Longneck! Grandpa Longneck!
Grandpa Longneck: What is it, children? Where's Littlefoot?
[Littlefoot throws a pebble at the Sharptooth, then gasps.]
Littlefoot: He sure looks dead. (Sniffs) He sure smells dead. Come on. You can do this. What's the big deal? It's just a big, dead sharptooth. Might as well be a...a pile of dirt. A big, smelly pile of dirt with...big sharp teeth inside. I'm gonna need a stick or something to get his mouth open.
[He walks away]
[The Sharptooth opens an eye and grunts]
[Grandpa Longneck sighs]
Grandpa Longneck: Oh!
[The dinosaurs reach the top of the cliff]
Grandpa Longneck: Now which way?
Cera: You mean you don't know the way to Saurus Rock?
Grandpa Longneck: To tell you the truth, I've never been there.
Cera: But you knew so much about it! What it looked like and how it got there and everything!
Ducky: You did. You did. Yep, yep, yep.
Grandpa Longneck: Well, those were only stories my grandpa told me, when I was a youngster. (Sighing) And right now, I wish I'd never told them to you kids.
[Littefoot pries the Sharptooth's mouth open with a stick]
Littlefoot: I'd better just pick one and get out of here. I don't know how long that stick will hold. That looks like a good one. (Groans as he tries to push the tooth out) It's stuck in there pretty tight. (Grunting) I can do this. (Ramming into the tooth) Whew! Good thing there's a breeze in here.
[The Sharptooth breathes]
Littlefoot: Wait a second. I'm inside a dead Sharptooth. Why would there be a breeze... unless it's breathing? But if it's breathing... then that means.... IT'S ALIVE!!!!
[The Sharptooth bites down on the stick while Littlefoot leaps out of its mouth. The allosaur roars and chases Littlefoot]
Littlefoot: Gee, I wonder if I lost...
[A Tyrannosaurus appears in front of him]
Littlefoot: Help! I don't wanna be a Lone Dinosaur anymore!
[The T rex chases him.]
Littlefoot: Doc? Grandpa!
Grandpa: Run, Littlefoot!
Littlefoot: Guys! You came for me!
Cera: Don't we always?
Littlefoot: You sure do. I just hope Grandpa will be alright.
Kids: Come on, Grandpa go!
Petrie: He doing okay!
Ducky: Until now.
Littlefoot: Grandpa!
Petrie: Me no look!
Littlefoot: I got to help him.
Littlefoot: Doc!
Grandpa Longneck: You're sure have a habit showing up at the right time.
Doc: Still just lucky I guess.
Littlefoot: Doc! Doc! You don't have to leave. The time of bad luck's almost over.
Doc: Just time I was going, kid.
Littlefoot: Yeah, but..
Doc: This herd's life's not for me. Too much talking, Well, Be seeing you, kid.
Littlefoot: Okay Doc. And thanks.
Doc: Good luck, kid.
Littlefoot: Doc, don't go too far. You never know when we might need a hero.
Doc: You already got a hero, kid.
Littlefoot: How's that look, grandma?
Grandpa: It looks wonderfull, Littlefoot.
Littlefoot: Now, maybe the time of bad luck will finally be over.
Grandpa: Oh Littlefoot, I told you. That was all a bedtime story. There's no...
Littlefoot: I know I know. There's no such thing as bad luck. But there's no harm adn making sure.
Grandpa longneck. I suppose not. Let's go home.
Littlefoot: Grandpa,
Grandpa: Yes littlefoot?
Littlefoot: Thanks for being my hero.
Cera: There was no place to hide, all seemed lost for the leaf eaters, the terrible sharptooth had them cornered. His massive teeth dripped blood as he threw his head back and roared. But then, just when they're seemed to be no escape, suddenly=
Littlefoot: Let me tell this part.
Cera: Okay.
Littlefoot: Just when they're seemed to be no escape, suddenly the leaf eaters looked up on teh horizon and there stood the great dinosaur. He stared at teh sharptooth then he whipped his tail forward...
Grandpa Longneck: And so, another myth was born. It would change with each retelling. And even now, who knows how this one will end?
