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

Thomas Dekker: Littlefoot

Quotes 

• [Littlefoot tells about the bright light he saw last night] 

  Littlefoot : It - it flew real low and it shined like the bright circle - only blue and it made a crackling sound, like, like fire in the trees.

  Brown spiketail : Look here, nobody else saw this thing, how do you explain that?

  Littlefoot : I - I don't know. I guess, everyone was asleep. You believe me, don't you grandpa?

  Grandpa : Of course I believe in you Littlefoot - but er, erm...

  Littlefoot : But what?

  Grandpa : Perhaps the flying rock you saw only seemed different. Perhaps you were still a little sleepy. Or maybe it was something you saw in a dream - isn't that also possible?

  Littlefoot : I - I guess so, only...

  Rainbow Face #1 : It's always like this, isn't it?

  Rainbow Face #2 : Yes, if people don't see things with their own eyes it doesn't exist - what limited thinking.

  Grandpa : Oh I - er, beg your pardon?

  Rainbow Face #1 : As you should - I mean, what if the little longneck did see something extraordinary...

  Rainbow Face #2 : ...Miraculous.

  Cera's Dad : Impossible!

  Rainbow Face #2 : Really? Have you really seen *all* there is to see? Are there no mysteries left for you?

  Cera's Dad : Er, well erm, no!

• Petrie : How come you not play?

  Littlefoot : [sighing]  I'm still thinking about this morning. Except for grandma and grandpa, nobody believes me.

  Ducky : We believe you - right Spike?

  [Spike nods] 

  Ducky : Only um - Littlefoot, well, I can see the stone in the fire and the stone is cold. But - how can a stone which is cold be on fire? I do not understand - no, no, no.

  Littlefoot : I know it doesn't make much sense - but, I saw what I saw.

• Littlefoot : [asking if Cera believes in Littlefoot's stone of cold fire sighting]  Cera?

  Cera : I don't know - I mean, maybe if I'd seen it myself.

  Littlefoot : That's it! If we find that stone of cold fire then everyone can see it for themselves, that'd prove I was telling the truth!

• Grandpa : Were you splashing round in the bubbling mud again?

  Littlefoot : No, we were just sitting talking in the tall trees.

  Grandpa : Oh, that's perfect...

  Littlefoot : Only - then we had a visitor.

  Grandpa : Oh - and who was that?

  Littlefoot : Petrie's, uncle Pterano.

  Grandma : Oh my goodness! Here - in the Great Valley?

  Littlefoot : And he was with some other fliers. I know he's Petrie's uncle but - there's something about him that - ooh, well, I just don't like him. Is that bad?

  Grandpa : Littlefoot, you have good instincts and you should pay attention to them.

  Grandma : Did Pterano tell you why he left the herd?

  Littlefoot : [unsure]  Well - he said the other grown-ups - couldn't see very well.

  Grandpa : What on earth! We could see just fine - as a matter of fact, we saw right through him!

• Grandpa : It just sounds like Pterano is up to his old tricks again.

  Littlefoot : Er, what old tricks?

  Grandpa : Oh - well let's just say that if we hadn't put a stop to Pterano, we might never had made it to the Great Valley.

  Littlefoot : That's awful!

  Grandpa : Yes, it was... Someday, when you're older, I'll tell you about it.

  Littlefoot : Oh, why do I have to wait until...

  Grandma : In the meantime, remember, Pterano considers he knows everything, even when he knows nothing.

  Grandpa : So be careful, will you?

  Littlefoot : OK, I promise.

• Petrie : [talking about the stone of cold fire]  Well, me just thinking... Sure wish me see it too.

  [laughs] 

  Petrie : Where'd you say it land again?

  Littlefoot : Well, it - went over the top of threehorn peak, but kind of off to the side. Oh, what's it matter, we can't go there anyway.

  Ducky : Why did you ask Petrie?

  Petrie : Me?

  [laughing again and lying] 

  Petrie : Oh no reason. Just er - want to know.

  Cera : Ha! It's more like your *uncle* wants to know, right Petrie?

  Petrie : [lying]  Yes, no - well, maybe him too - but honest, me...

  [Falls down hill] 

• Ducky : [Petrie has just tumbled down a hill and crashed into hard pinecones]  Petrie, are you OK?

  Cera : No, he's not OK, because it's not OK to tell a lie!

  Littlefoot : I'm sorry Petrie, but my grandparents told me to be careful around your uncle. Sometimes he uses his words to fool you.

  Petrie : No, you wrong! He not do that!

  Cera : I think Pterano is trouble and so are those other fliers he was with. My dad says you can tell a lot about somebody by the quality of his friends.

  Petrie : Oh yeah? Well - well then - me in trouble, 'cause my friends act like stinkbugs!

  [Flies away weeping] 

  Ducky : Petrie, do not go - no, no, no!

  Cera : Agh, who cares? Maybe he should just go off with the rest of those stupid old fliers.

  Littlefoot : That's, what worries me.

• Ducky : Help! Let me down!

  Littlefoot : [Waking up and gasping]  Ducky!

  Ducky : I am not a flier!

  [screams] 

• [Petrie sees Pterano, Rinkus and Sierra fly in the sky and hear Ducky call for help] 

  Petrie : Where she going?

  Littlefoot : Wherever your uncle and the other fliers are taking her.

  [Petrie gasps and then flies down angrily] 

  Petrie : You wrong! Pterano never do-.

  Petrie's Mom : No Petrie. It's true, it is Pterano!

  Petrie's Mom : Oh no!

  [Petrie cries] 

• Littlefoot : I told them where the flying rock is, why won't they go?

  Petrie : Oh, it's all my fault.

  Cera : You can say that again!

  Petrie : Why? If I say it again it only make me feel worser!

  Cera : That's the basic idea.

• Littlefoot : Well, at least we're all here. I mean - except for, Ducky.

  [Spike groans] 

  Cera : Oh, poor Ducky.

  Petrie : Oh, poor Ducky.

  Ducky : Oh, poor me.

  Petrie : Ducky?

  Littlefoot and Cera : Ducky?

  Littlefoot : You're ok!

  Ducky : Ooh - yes, yes I am!

• Cera : Can we go home now?

  Littlefoot : No Cera, what about the flyers? And that stone of cold fire?

  Cera : Oh that's just some dumb old rock. We have Ducky back, everything is fine.

  Ducky : Cera, what if the stone of cold fire really is magic? Then it would be bad if the flyers got it, it would, it would.

  Spike : Aha, aha.

  Cera : Oh all right - fine! But I still don't know how we're suppossed to catch up with them.

  Ducky : Do not worry Cera.

• [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.

• [When Cera, Littlefoot, Petrie and Spike come up to the edge of a cliff] 

  Cera : Oh great, we'll never catch those beakheads. It'll take us all day to climb down this side and up the other one.

  Littlefoot : Maybe we won't have to, look!

  [They see some vines that look like bridges] 

  Littlefoot : Those vines look strong enough. I'll bet we could use them to walk across.

  Cera : Oh no, not this threehorn!

  Petrie : Cera scardeyegg, Cera-.

  Cera : Hey! I'm not a scardeyegg. But every time we sneak off and leave the great valley, we have to get across some giant ditch or pointy rocks or something.

  Littlefoot : Yeah?

  Cera : And somehow, the only way to do it is to use some tippy bouldor or rotten old log.

  Spike : Aha?

  Cera : And I always end up at the back of the line, falling off or getting chased by a sharptooth!

  Petrie : She do have a point.

  Littlefoot : So, what are you gonna do about it?

  Cera : Well, erm - this time, I'm gonna be the one who goes first. So if there's trouble, I won't be behind screaming my head off, no! This time, I'm gonna be safe.

  Littlefoot : Well, ok.

• Littlefoot : We can't wait any longer, we have to save Ducky ourselves.

  Cera : Aren't you forgetting? The grown-ups said those smoking mountains are off-limits!

  Petrie : Yeah, they be real mad if we gone.

  Littlefoot : By the time they've stopped arguing - we could be back again! They wouldn't even notice!

  Cera : Well even if you *could* catch up to those fliers, then what will you do?

  Littlefoot : I - I don't know. But Grandpa told me to trust my instincts. And my instincts say we gotta do something!
