The Land Before Time VII: The Stone of Cold Fire (2000 Video)

Michael York: Pterano

Quotes 

• Pterano : If there's one thing I will not tolerate, it's violence!

  Rinkus : Then why are you hitting me?

  Pterano : Right, make that two things. Violence and stupid questions!

  [Hits Rinkus again] 

• Pterano : [coming down to pick up Petrie - Petrie does not recognise him]  Did I startle you Petrie?

  Petrie : Yes - no! Er, how'd you know my name?

  Pterano : Petrie, I'm heartbroken. Didn't you recognise your dear old uncle?

  Petrie : [gasping with excitment]  Pterano!

• Pterano : Don't tell me, you must be old threehorn's daughter.

  Cera : How'd you know?

  Pterano : Let's just say there's a *strong* family resemblance.

  Cera : Oh - thank you.

• Rinkus : Ooh, you bent my beak.

  Pterano : The next time, keep it shut!

  Sierra : Why should we? Them brats wouldn't fall for your little act. I say we go find that cold - fire - thingy on our own.

  Pterano : I repeat Mr Sierra, we don't know where the stone landed.

  Rinkus : Then why not simply make the longneck tell us where it is?

  [making head cutting gesture] 

  Rinkus : Or else.

  Pterano : [Pterano bashes Rinkus on the head]  Mr Rinkus. If we threaten the young ones, we'll put the elders on alert. They will watch our every move and our claws will be lost! Now is that want you want?

  Rinkus : N - n - no - er, of course not!

  [trips over a tree and falls] 

  Pterano : [to Sierra]  Therfore, we must be calm and patient. Young Littlefoot will talk - and when he does... The stone of cold fire, will be mine!

• Pterano : Oh Petrie, can I have a word with you?

  Petrie : Oh yes uncle! Gee, you sure lead exciting life.

  Pterano : High praise indeed coming from you. I understand that you are quite the adventurer yourself.

  Petrie : Ooh, you right about that. Me very brave!

  [makes a fierce growling impression] 

• [Pterano, Rinkus and Sierra have kidnapped Ducky] 

  Petrie : Stop! Uncle, you make mean flier let Ducky go!

  Pterano : Petrie, listen to me. Tell the others not to follow and no harm will come to the swimmer.

  Petrie : I don't understand why you do this!

• [when Sierra finally lands on a rock ledge after kidnapping Ducky] 

  Ducky : You're not very good at landing, are you?

  Sierra : Pipe down or I'll-.

  Pterano : Sierra! Show a little self control, will you?

  Sierra : Self control my tailbone! I've been putting up with that little whiney voice since we took off!

  [imitating Ducky] 

  Sierra : No, no no! Yep, yep, yep! It's driving me *nuts* *nuts* *nuts*!

• [Sierra and Rinkus are trying to stop Littlefoot and his friends saving Ducky] 

  Pterano : Stop this at once! Get a grip will you?

  Sierra : Hey, don't mind if we do.

  [Sierra and Rinkus grab onto each of Pterano's hands. Rinkus cackles and both flyers fly downwards with the captured Pterano] 

  Pterano : Let go of me - how dare you...!

• Pterano : [Nighttime planning]  Sierra! Settle down, will you!

  Sierra : Why should I? Anyway, what are we waiting for? We could be halfway to the smoking *mountain* by now!

  Pterano : Yess! With *half* the Great Valley right on our tails!

  Rinkus : Why would they come after *us*?

  Pterano : The young ones have told their parents that they have seen me. If we leave in a hurry, they might think that we are up to no good.

  Rinkus : But we *are* up to no good.

  Pterano : Noo-oo! I work for the *greater* good! My purpose is *noble*! They have never understood. But soon I will *prove* I am right! Until then, we must be careful. We will leave with the rest of the far-walkers once the Great Night Circle starts to shrink.

  Sierra : [huffs and grumbles] 

  Rinkus : Hee hee - And then we will find the Stone of Cold Fire, yes?

  Pterano : Yesss! And I shall take my rightful place as leader of the herd. And I will rule over the most beautiful, fertile land in the world: The Great Valley!

• Pterano : Oh, dear. I hope the children were able to find cover.

  Sierra : Who cares? Once we take charge, first thing I wanna do is feed them overgrown eggs to the Sharpteeth.

• Pterano : I've never needed anyone/I'll go my way alone/I'll use my own intelligence to find that magical stone

  Sierra : Oh no, you ain't cuttin' us out, ya crazy...

  Rinkus : Please, my friends. We should not be fighting. We all want the same thing, yes? To gain the power of the stone, which we still must find, yes?

• Sierra : Yes, sorry. Guess I got a li'le bit outta line. After all, you are the leader.

  Pterano : Yes, I'm a Very Important Creature/Tremendesly brave and strong/I find that I'm frequently right when others are often wrong/Instead of arguing blindly/They should open their eyes and see/That the one who will bring theme paradise/ Is the Very Important Creature

  Sierra : He sure is hard on himself, ain't he?

• Pterano : I'm a fabulous, fearsome flyer/I handle life with finesse/When others say, "No, it can't be so"/my answer is always "yes"/I was born to be their saviour/That is my destiny/Why do they despise, not recognize/the truly fantastic me?

• Pterano : Some of us are born to lead/while the rest of you must follow

  Sierra : I'd like to knock him off his perch

  Rinkus : This is getting hard to swallow

  Pterano : Look at these wings/Look at this beak

• [When Pterano sees Littlefoot] 

  Petrie : Him my good friend. Cera, Ducky and Spike too.

  Pterano : Yes, yes. But, this is the one who claims he saw a stone of cold fire.

  Littlefoot : I guess you don't believe me either.

  Pterano : Oh no dear child, I believe you completely. I know how stubborn the other grown-ups can be - that's why I had to leave the herd you know, they simply had *no* vision!

• Pterano : The only way to convince yourself and everyone else, is, as you say, to go and find that stone.

  Littlefoot : [Nervously]  Er... I wasn't serious - I was just - thinking out loud.

• [Ducky has fallen into a hole and Pterano, with Rinkus and Sierra following, has gone to see if she is all right] 

  Pterano : Ducky, can you hear me? Come out now child, I promise we won't hurt you.

  Sierra : Well, must have been quite a drop.

  Rinkus : [Looking into the hole]  Ooh er, I can't see a thing. It's way too dark in there.

  Pterano : Poor thing. So young, so full of life...

  Sierra : So what?

  Pterano : I was responsible for that little swimmer! And now I've lost her.

  Sierra : Well, Pterano. You should be used to this kind of thing by now.

  [He and Rinkus fly off] 

• Pterano : I wanted to make everything perfect. I just wanted to create a paradise!

  Petrie : We already have paradise back in Great Valley. You no need to fix, just got to not break.
