• Littlefoot : Cera, it's you! What happened? Why are you so frightened?

  Cera : Frightened? Me?

  [laughs] 

  Cera : Why are you so frightened?

  Littlefoot : We're not frightened. Are we?

  Ducky : Nope, nope.

  Cera : Well, you *should* be. *I* was going back to be with the other three-horns, but I chose to come back to warn *you*... I met... the Sharp Tooth!

  Petrie : [gasps, then screams]  SHARP TOOTH!

  [jumps onto Littlefoot's head, frightened] 

  Littlefoot : Come on, Cera. Sharp Tooth is dead. He fell down into the big underground.

  Cera : [in a deeper tone]  And *that's*... where he met me!

  Ducky : Oh. Dear brave Cera.

  Petrie : [echoing]  Dear brave Cera.

  Cera : Yes. I *am* brave.

  Littlefoot : [annoyed]  Sharp Tooth is DEAD!

  Cera : *My* father told me that Flatheads have very small *brains*!

• Cera : You again? Go away! That's MY hopper.

  Littlefoot : I saw him first.

  Cera : Well, he's in my pond.

• Narrator : In this time of the clash of continents, a great earthquake split the land. Herds were divided, families were cut in two, and Littlefoot was separated from his grandparents.

  Daddy Topps : Cera!

  Cera : Mama! Daddy!

  Narrator : Cera was on one side of the divide. Her parents were on the other.

• Littlefoot : I'm going to the Great Valley. We could help each other.

  Cera : A three-horn does not need help from a long neck.

  [she tries to climb down the rock ledge herself, but she slips and falls backward into the ravine] 

  Littlefoot : Well, at least we won't be alone.

  Cera : Well, when I find my sisters, I won't BE alone! So go away. Three-horns can be *very* dangerous, and they only talk with other three-horns, and they only *travel* with other three-horns.

• Cera : NOW do you believe me?

  Littlefoot : I'm sorry. We're safe now.

  Cera : Nobody's safe with *you*.

• Littlefoot : Cera, hello.

  Cera : What do you want?

  Littlefoot : Nothing. Where are you going?

  Cera : I'm going to find my own kind. They're on the other side.

  Littlefoot : I've looked all over here. You can't climb up the other side.

  Cera : Maybe *you* can't!

• [Littlefoot had just found the Great Valley] 

  Littlefoot : The Great *Valley*.

  [stares open-mouthed, transfixed at the valley] 

  Littlefoot : Cera, Spike, Ducky, Petrie, over here!

  [the others run to join Littlefoot] 

  Cera : Littlefoot, you found it!

  Ducky : Yep, yep, yep!

  Littlefoot : We did it; we did it together!

• Cera : Look at what they're doing. They're so greedy. What about me? I'm still hungry!

  Petrie : YOU hungry? I'm empty all the way to the top! Now we're at the Great Valley and STILL GOT NO GREEN FOODS! We'd be hungry FOREVER!

  [groans in despair] 

  Littlefoot : Aw Petrie, Cera was wrong. This isn't the Great Valley.

  Ducky : It is not a Great ANYTHING. Nope, nope, nope.

  Littlefoot : Well, we'd better go down and see if there's anything left.

• Cera : See? I can take care of myself - all *by* myself. I'm not afraid to be alone. I know my way to go, AND, I'm not afraid of Sharptooth... I hope he doesn't eat any of you!

• Cera : This is the Great Valley? You're *crazy*! *I'm* leaving!

  Littlefoot : Cera, we have to keep following the bright circle.

  Cera : *I'm* taking the easy way, for once.

  Littlefoot : But it's the WRONG WAY!

  Cera : Who says?

  Littlefoot : MY mother.

  Cera : Then SHE was a stupid long neck too.

  Littlefoot : Take that back!

  Cera : Never!

  Littlefoot : TAKE IT BACK!

  Cera : NO!

  [Littlefoot charges and rams into Cera, fed up with her racism, and a brutal fight ensues] 

• Littlefoot : [after he, Petrie, Ducky, and Spike successfully purge the tree of its remaining green leaves]  Come on, Cera; we've got green food!

  Cera : *I* can get my OWN green food!

• Cera : I found it! Ha ha ha ha! I foooound it! Hmm!
