Young Bambi : What happened, Mother? Why did we all run?
Bambi's Mother : Man was in the forest.

Young Bambi : Mother! Mother!
[Bambi searches frantically for his mother. Suddenly he gasps, startled by a shadow in front of him. It is The Great Prince of the Forest]
Great Prince of the Forest : Your mother can't be with you anymore.
[Bambi closes his eyes and bows his head, as a single tear comes out of his eye]
Great Prince of the Forest : Come, my son.

Young Bambi : He stopped and looked at me.
Bambi's Mother : Yes, I know.
Young Bambi : Why was everyone still when he came on the meadow?
Bambi's Mother : Everyone respects him. For of all the deer in the forest, not one has lived half so long. He's very brave and very wise. That's why he's known as the Great Prince of the Forest.

[Bambi and the rabbits come across a small flock of birds twittering in a tree. Bambi looks at them intriguingly]
Young Thumper : Those are birds.
Young Bambi : Bur... Bur!
Young Thumper : Look! He's trying to talk.
Young Bambi : Bur!
Girl Bunny : He's trying to say "bird".
Young Thumper : Say "bird".

Young Bambi : Bur...
[wiggles his nose]
Young Thumper : Bird.
Young Bambi : Bur!

Other rabbits : [indistinctly] Come on, say "bird". Say "bird"!
Young Bambi : [inhales deeply, then throws everyone back by his yelling, including the birds] Bir-d!

Young Bambi : Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bir...!
[he sees a yellow butterfly, which he begins to chase until it lands on his tail]
Young Bambi : Bird!
Young Thumper : No, that's not a bird. That's a butterfly.
Young Bambi : Butterfly? Butter...
[Bambi sees the butterfly has now gone; he then runs over to a big yellow flower among some other wildflowers]
Young Bambi : Butterfly!
Young Thumper : [giggling] No, that's a flower.
Young Bambi : Flower?
Young Thumper : Uh-huh, it's purty.
[Thumper smells the flowers]
Young Bambi : Purty.
[Bambi starts smelling the flowers, and comes nose-to-nose with a little skunk]
Young Bambi : Flower!
Young Flower : Me?
Young Thumper : [laughing hysterically] No, no, no, no! That's not a flower! He's a little...
Young Flower : Oh, that's all right. He can call me a flower if he wants to.
[looks up briefly, then chuckles]
Young Flower : I don't mind.
Young Bambi : Purty. Purty *flower*!
Young Flower : Oh...
[he laughs]
Young Flower : Gosh.
