  • Wow. So it is true. Longnecks saved the world. This is gonna kill my dad.
  • [in shock] Did you just say 'dad'?

Dialogue

edit
Sue: You wanna go for a ride?
Littlefoot: You bet.

[Littlefoot meets his long-lost father, Bron, and runs away in distraught, rage, and confusion. Bron, guilt-ridden, follows him behind.]
Bron: Littefoot. [Littlefoot doesn't answer.] Littlefoot, we have to talk.
Littlefoot: [sheds a tear] Where were you, all this time? Where were you?
Bron: [sighs] Oh, Littlefoot. Your mother and I knew we were going to have a hatchling. [flashbacks of Bron and Littlefoot's Mother nuzzling, Bron sadly leaving and Littlefoot's Mother sadly watching on, etc.] See, we wanted to raise you in a safe place. So, before you were even an egg, I went off to find a new home for all of us. When I got back, the earth-shakes changed everything. It took me so long to find out where the nest had been. that nothing was left but a crack in the earth as deep as a mountain is high.

Pat: It seems that a long, long time ago, the Night Circle got jealous of the Great Circle.
Petrie: What do you mean, jealous? Jealous why?
Pat: Oh, on account of how the Great Circle is so much brighter and folks stay awake for it, but sleep while the Night Circle's up there. Things like that. [they jump over a lava] You'd better keep moving, kids. Not safe to stand in one place too long. [the lava starts to erupt, then they all run] Anyway, so the Night Circle grabbed the Great Circle and threw it from the sky, so it'd smash into the world below.
Ducky: Oh, my!
Pat: But there just so happened to be a herd of Longnecks standing down there, and they stretched their necks up and caught the Great Circle on their heads, and then shoved it right back up into the sky. Now, how about that? So that's why, to this very day, we have such long necks, so we can put the great circle back up in the sky.

[as the orange-brown Daspletosaurus chases the kids]
Littlefoot: What are you guys doing here?
Ducky: Running away!
