- Bambi: I didn't even know this place was here.
- The Great Prince: Beautiful, isn't it? This... this is where I met your mother.
- Bambi: Really?
- The Great Prince: Yes. I was just about your age.
- Bambi: What were you like?
- The Great Prince: Me? Let me think... Actually, I was a lot like you.
- The Great Prince: Did you jump?
- Bambi: Uh, yeah.
- The Great Prince: I didn't make a jump like that until I had antlers.
- [first lines]
- Bambi: Mother! Mother! Moth...
- [Gasp]
- The Great Prince: Your mother can't be with you anymore. Come.
- 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? When I tell you to run, you run! Never freeze like that again, ever!
- Bambi: I'm... I'm sorry.
- Flower: [after a turtle bites Ronno on the nose and won't let go] See? I told you turtles were scary.
- The Great Prince: Bambi, a prince does not...
- Bambi: That's all you care about! Not about me!
- The Great Prince: Don't you speak to me...
- Bambi: [running off] I wish Mother was here instead of you!
- The Great Prince: I think it's best to leave the past in the past. A Prince does not look back. Only ahead.
- The Great Prince: Friend Owl.
- Owl: Excuse me, sir, I hope I'm not intruding but... well... I just had to come.
- [Looks at Bambi]
- Owl: Poor little fella. So young to be without his mother. Well, if I can be of any help...
- [starts to fly away]
- The Great Prince: Everything must get rest, Bambi.
- [yawning]
- The Great Prince: Some at night, some during the day...
- [grumbling slightly]
- The Great Prince: ... some not at all.
- Bambi: [Bambi has a dream in which he meets his mother] 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: [trying to master his dad's advice, he walks along with his eyes closed] Feel the forest. Feel the forest.
- The Great Prince: [seeing where Bambi is going] Bambi!
- Bambi: Feel the - OOF!
- [walks headfirst into a tree]
- Bambi: Heh, heh. Felt it.
- Bambi: Oh! I gotta go! My dad's waiting for me!
- Additional Voices: Bye, Bambi.
- Thumper: Aww, Bambi, you never have time for us anymore.
- Faline: Yeah. Isn't it wonderful?
- The Great Prince: Bambi, a prince awakens before the forest does. If you are late again, I shall have no choice but to...
- [Bambi's stomach gurgles]
- The Great Prince: What was that?
- Bambi: What was what?
- [his stomach gurgles again, and he laughs nervously]
- Bambi: I guess it was my stomach.
- The Great Prince: Then you should eat.
- [Bambi pauses confused]
- The Great Prince: Oh, well, I suppose I should find you something to eat.
- [the prince digs up some snow revealing a nearly dead plant]
- Bambi: Ehh. No thank you.
- 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?
- The Great Prince: Wait. I could use your help - find me a suitable doe to raise Bambi.
- Owl: Oh, yes, of course.
- [thoughtfully]
- Owl: Eh, food's so scarce, does can barely feed themselves. Uh, perhaps you could...?
- The Great Prince: Me? You know as well as I do - a Prince looks after the herd, does care for the young.
- Owl: But you are his father, and circumstances being what they are...
- The Great Prince: [looks up, sighs] Until Spring.
- Owl: Oh, excellent. After all: who better to raise the Young Prince than the Great Prince himself!
- [flies away]
- Mena: [unknowingly quoting Bambi's late mother] Faster, Bambi! Don't look back! Keep running! Keep running!
- Thumper: Oh, come on! You jumped farther than this yesterday!
- Bambi: [Nervous] I... don't know...
- Thumper: [Tauntingly] You're not afraaaiid, are ya?
- [Bambi gets scared]
- Thumper: [sing-song voice] You're too afraaaiid! You cannot juuuump! Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyyyah-nyah! Nyah-nyah, nyaaaahhh!
- [Bambi runs back and does a big jump]
- Thumper: [Amazed] You did it!
- Faline: Thumper's been telling us quick a story.
- Owl: Yes, yes. The one with the thousands of dogs.
- Bambi: Thousands?
- Thumper: What can I say? I'm a born storyteller.
- Faline: I'll bet it seemed like a thousand dogs.
- [Porcupine pricks Bambi in his legs, causing him to kiss Faline]
- Additional Voices: Ohhhh...
- Bambi: Uh...
