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!
