Dialogue
edit- Littlefoot: [regarding the rain] I wish it would stop.
- Grandma Longneck: Oh, Littlefoot. It will stop; it always does. [lightning threshes through the sky] Although I'm beginning to have my doubts.
- Littlefoot: [with the second mention of his mother from the original The Land Before Time] I wish that my mother had given me a brother! And then I would always have somebody fun to play with!
- Grandma Longneck: [telling Littlefoot the truth of why he had no siblings] Now young one, your mother would've loved to give you a brother (or sister).
- Grandpa Longneck: [also telling Littlefoot the truth of why he had no siblings] Yes. But since you were her only child, you were very, very special to her.
- [as Littlefoot drinks water, Mo blows bubbles onto his face, in the form of a beard. He then moves his own head through the remaining bubbles, and rises to show Littlefoot]
- Mo: Now Mo have bubble face, too!
- Littlefoot: And since we can't get home the old way, maybe we can a new way home by going that way. [they all look] And while we're at it, we can take Mo to the Big Water. What do you say?
- Ducky: Well, I say yes. [jumping around] Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And what about you, Spike?
- Spike: Uh-huh.
- Petrie: Count me in, too! What you say, Cera?
- Cera: Well...
- Littlefoot: Great. Petrie, you fly around and see if there's any water paths that lead to the Big Water.
- Petrie: Okay. [flies off Cera]
- Littlefoot: You'll see, Cera. Mo will make this trip so much fun.
- Cera: Yeah, right.
- Cera: [panicking over the crab on her horn] Let go, let go, let go!!!
- Mo: [rapid squeaking. The crab lets go...]
- Littlefoot: Wow. Good going, Mo!
- Petrie: Me want to learn to squeak like that! It sure come in handy!
- Ducky: What did you say to it, Mo?
- Mo: [repeats the squawking]
- Cera: Uh, right. Which means?
- Mo: Let go!
- Cera: Oh, well. Yeah! I knew that!
- Mrs. Mama: [realizing the gang are not a threat to her eggs] Why, you're not much more than babies yourselves!
- Cera: Not much more than babies? Why I'm practically all grown up!
- Cera: Get him. [jumping up] Yeah!
