Jean-Bob: I'm gonna die! I know it! I'm on a mission with a lame turtle!

Queen Uberta: Just make sure you're here tomorrow night.

Derek: Tomorrow night?

Queen Uberta: The ball.

Derek: [Queen Uberta blubbers and sputters; giving in] Mother, I can't. Please, Mother. Don't do the lip thing. If I leave now, maybe I can be back in time.

Queen Uberta: [cheers; laufhs] Thank you, darling!

Prince Derek: But please, Mother! Don't turn it into one of your beauty pageants!

Queen Uberta: [as Derek leaves is out of earshot; to Chamberlain] Oh! No, no, no, no, no! It's just a few friends...And, their daughters... I want this to be big. Every princesses must have their own introductions!

Chamberlain: [shocked] But you said...

Queen Uberta: [giggles] Forget what I said! Now, send for the cooks, and tell the band to start rehearsing! And I want four footmen for every carriage! Maybe five!

Puffin: Me name is Puffin. Lt. Puffin.

Odette: [Puffin kisses her hand] It's a pleasure, Lt. Puffin. I'm Odette. Princess Odette. And these are my best friends in the whole world: Mr. Lorenzo Trudgealong...

Speed: Friends call me Speed.

Odette: ...and Jean-Bob.

Jean-Bob: I have no friends. Only servants. And they call me "your highness".

Speed: [whispers to Puffin] Thinks he's a prince.

Rogers: Think, you must see something other than Odette's beauty.

Jean-Bob: Whenever I have to do something in a hurry, I'll always bring a turtle.

Odette: Every night you ask the same question.

Rothbart: No! No!

Odette: And every night I give you the same answer...

Rothbart: DON'T!

Odette: ...I'll die first.

Rothbart: You know... you are really starting to bug me!

Odette: I would think you'd be use to it by now.

Rothbart: THAT'S IT! Just keep pushing it! But someday I'm gonna BOIL OVER!

Rogers: 52 out of 52! Well done, Derek!

Prince Derek: [ready for target practice] The Great Animal's never gonna give her up without a fight.

Rogers: You're not still thinking she's alive?

Prince Derek: When I find the Great Animal, Rogers, I'll find Odette.

Rogers: Oh, Derek. You've looked everywhere. She's not coming back. The whole kingdom knows that.

Prince Derek: The whole kingdom's wrong! Odette's alive, and I'm gonna find her. You ready, Brom?

Rogers: [Bromley lowers his blindfold and stands at attention] No peeking. Animals, assemble!

Rothbart: [to Odette, after kidnapping her and turns her into a swan] Once you steal something, you spend your whole life fighting to keep it.

Rogers: What else is there?! She says, "Is beauty all that matters?", and you say, "What else is there?"!

Prince Derek: It was dumb. I know!

Rogers: You should write a book: How To Offend Women In Five Syllables Or Less.

Bromley: Your turn.

Prince Derek: I didn't know what else to say.

Bromley: [cheating at chess, takes Derek's queen] You lost your queen, Derek!

Prince Derek: That's twice in one day!

Rogers: Think. You must see something other than Odette's beauty.

Prince Derek: Of course I do, Rogers! She's...you know. And then...it's like...I mean, right?

Prince Derek: [drums his fingers on the chessboard; with that said, he lifts his rook and moves it across the board] Aw, I don't know how to say it! I know. I'll prove it to her. I'll prove my love! Checkmate!

Rothbart: [steps apart from the tree, into the path of the approaching caravan as it starts raining] Today's the day, Willie. Everything you own, everything you love, will be mine!

King William: [shakes his head mournfully] I just don't understand. What else did you want him to say?

Odette: I need to know that he loves me.

King William: [turns the door handle and steps out. Beyond the horses, a caped man is blocking the path. Although the man is in silhouette, he recognizes Rothbart; He steps forward] What on earth? Stay inside, Odette.

Derek: [recognizes him] It's King William's captain!

King William's Captain: [faints] We were attacked. A Great Animal.

Derek: [shocked; takes off] Odette.

Rogers: Derek! Wait!

Derek: [dismounts and checks the abandoned carriage; finds Odette's locket, picks it up, and finds King William unconscious on the ground] Odette! Odette?! Odette! King William.

King William: [weakly] Derek...

Derek: Who did this?

King William: It came so quickly. A great animal.

Derek: Where is Odette?

King William: Listen to me, Derek, it's not what it seems. It's not what it seems.

Derek: What's not? Where is Odette?!

King William: [his last words; He dies] Odette is...Odette...is gone.

Derek: [became shocked] ODETTE!!!!!!

Derek: [to everyone] Arrange the marriage!

Odette: Wait!

King William: [Uberta continues cries. He turns to Odette] We tried, Uberta. No one can say we didn't try. Say goodbye, Odette.

Odette: [to Derek, sadly] Goodbye.

King William: Goodbye"?

Odette: [sighs] Prince Derek.

Derek: Mother.

Queen Uberta: Derek.

Derek: [to Odette] Goodbye, Princess.

Queen Uberta: All these years of planning...WASTED!!!

Narrator: [cheers and crowds] Once upon a time, there was a king named William...who ruled a large and mighty kingdom...and yet, he was sad...for he was growing old and had no child to inherit the throne. Then, happily, a daughter was born...a princess...and she was given the name Odette. Kings and queens came from all around to offer the gifts to the child. Among them was the widow Uberta and her young son Prince Derek. It was then that William and Uberta happened upon the same idea. Derek and Odette will be brought together each summer in hopes that they will fall in love and join their kingdoms forever. But unknown to all was another plan. That of the evil man named enchanter sorcerer Rothbart. Odette's birth was of little concern to him...for he was preparing to take William's kingdom, by means of the forbidden arts. On the eve of his assault, William attacked...and Rothbart's powers were plunged into darkness. Despite calls for his death...the enchanter was only banished.

Rothbart: [his first words] I'm not finished with you yet, Willie. Someday, I'll get my power back. And when I do, everything you own...everything you love, will be mine.

Narrator: Many feared King William too kind. But in time, the threat was forgotten...and all hopes turned to that not so distant summer...when Derek and Odette would meet.
