- 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".
- Odette: Wait.
- Prince Derek: What? You're all I ever wanted. You're beautiful.
- Odette: Thank you. But what else?
- Prince Derek: What else?
- Odette: Is beauty all that matters to you?
- [King William clears his throat and shakes his head disapprovingly. Odette gives King William a dirty look]
- Queen Uberta: Derek? What else?
- Prince Derek: I...
- [to Odette]
- Prince Derek: What else is there?
- [Rogers imitates a buzzer and gives a thumbs down and Queen Uberta begins to cry. King William gives Derek a shocked look and she looks at King William with a horrified look on her face and Odette looks away sadly]
- King William: We tried, Uberta. No one can say we didn't try.
- [Uberta continues cries. He turns to Odette]
- King William: Say goodbye, Odette.
- Odette: Goodbye.
- King William: Goodbye?
- Odette: Prince Derek.
- Prince Derek: Mother.
- Queen Uberta: Derek.
- Prince Derek: Goodbye, Princess.
- [King William and Odette leave]
- Queen Uberta: All these years of planning wasted!
- King William: I just don't understand. What else did you want him to say?
- Odette: I need to know that he loves me for just being me.
- Odette: You're being sneaky again, Jean-Bob.
- Jean-Bob: What sneaky? You deserve a nice bouquet.
- Odette: And you deserve a kiss.
- Jean-Bob: Well, all right.
- [Puckers up]
- Odette: You know I'm under a spell.
- Jean-Bob: But my kiss would break the spell.
- Speed: Give it up, Jean-Bob.
- Odette: I can only kiss the man I love, and then he...
- Jean-Bob: Must make a vow of everlasting love, I know.
- Odette: And prove it to the world.
- Jean-Bob: What do you think I was doing with the flowers and the alligators going, "Chomp Chomp"?
- Odette: Speed, make him understand.
- Speed: I'm only a turtle.
- Prince Derek: [about the ball] But please, mother, don't turn it into one of your beauty pageants.
- Queen Uberta: Oh. No, no, no, no, no. It's just a few friends...
- [She waits until Derek is out of earshot]
- Queen Uberta: and their daughters.
- Prince Derek: [after Odette has died] I made the vow for her. Do you hear? The vow I made was for her!
- Rothbart: No need to shout.
- Odette: [Odette is dying] Derek, I feel so weak. I think I'm...
- Prince Derek: No. You'll live, Odette. The vow I made was for you.
- Puffin: "All birds should remember," the Possum said... "when there's no escape, you have to play dead."
- Musicians: [singing] We are a band/And not a band of animals/This masquerade/Is more than I can bear/There goes my reputation/It's awful, this humiliation/And I've the lion's share.
- Prince Derek: Don't let her die.
- Rothbart: Is that a threat?
- Prince Derek: Don't you dare let her die.
- Rothbart: Ooh, it is a threat.
- Prince Derek: You're the only one with the power. Now, do it.
- [Rothbart throws him aside]
- Rothbart: Only if you defeat me.
- Puffin: Me name is Puffin, Lieutenant Puffin.
- Odette: It's a pleasure, Lieutenant 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: Thinks he's a prince.
- Rogers: Think. You must see something other than Odette's beauty.
- Prince Derek: Of course I do, Rogers. She's like, you know... How about... And then... I mean, right?
- [pause]
- Prince Derek: I don't know how to say it. I'll prove it to her. I'll prove my love. Checkmate.
- Queen Uberta: Just make sure you're here tomorrow night.
- Prince Derek: Tomorrow night?
- Queen Uberta: The ball.
- Prince Derek: Mother, I can't.
- Queen Uberta: [blubbering, sputtering]
- Prince Derek: Please, mother. Don't do the lip thing.
- Rothbart: [as Derek on horseback sprints to reach a dying Odette] If you hurry, little Prince, I'll let you see her one last time.
- Queen Uberta: Where is Derek? Oh, never mind. I know where he is. Working on the mystery of the fat animal.
- Rogers: The great animal, Your Highness.
- Queen Uberta: Big, great. It's large and has fur.
- Queen Uberta: [singing] The children seem to get along quite nicely.
- King William: We'll join our lands if this arrangement clicks.
- Queen Uberta: My dear King William, that's my point precisely.
- King William: It's such good parenting.
- Queen Uberta: And politics. So happy we agree.
- King William: I think we've got a deal.
- Queen Uberta: Derek's quite a catch.
- King William: This is my idea.
- Queen Uberta: This is my idea.
- Queen Uberta, King William: Of a match.
- Rothbart: Hello, little prince.
- Prince Derek: Who are you?
- Rothbart: Went and pledged your love to another, eh?
- Prince Derek: What are you talking about? This is Odette.
- Rothbart: No, Odette is mine.
- Prince Derek: It's you! You have no power here. I made a vow, a vow of everlasting love.
- Rothbart: You made a vow, all right. A vow of everlasting death.
- 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.
- Prince Derek: [King William's captain collapses at the doorway; Derek, Bromley, and Lord Rogers run to his side and Derek recognizes him] It's King William's captain.
- King William's captain: [with difficulty] We, we were attacked. A great animal.
- [he faints]
- Prince Derek: Odette.
- [takes off]
- Rogers: Derek! Wait!
- Prince Derek: [rides his horse into the woods] Odette!
- [dismounts and checks the abandoned carriage]
- Prince Derek: Odette? Odette!
- [Derek finds Odette's locket and finds King William unconscious on the ground]
- Prince Derek: King William.
- King William: [weakly] Derek...
- Prince Derek: Who did this?
- King William: It came so quickly. A great animal.
- Prince Derek: Where is Odette?
- King William: Listen to me, Derek, it's not what it seems. It's not what it seems.
- Prince Derek: What's not? Where is Odette?
- King William: [last words] Odette is. Odette... is gone.
- [he dies, leaving Derek in shock]
- Prince Derek: Odette!
- Rothbart: By the way... You wouldn't happen to know who this belongs to would you?
- [Odette was shocked and Jean-Bob jumped and fell back]
- Rothbart: [as Derek] "Come to the ball. I will make a vow of everlasting love." Thought you could fool Rothbart, did you?
- Odette: I will never be yours, you creature. I will marry prince Derek and you cannot stop me.
- Rothbart: I hate to tell you this, Odette... but you won't be able to attend the big ball tomorrow night.
- Odette: If you want to stop me, you'll have to kill me.
- Rothbart: No, I don't think so. You see, you've forgotten one very important thing. Tomorrow night... there is no moon.
- [last lines]
- Odette: Will you love me, Derek, till the day I die?
- Prince Derek: No, much longer than that, Odette. Much longer.
- [they both kiss and the movie ends]
- [first lines]
- Narrator: 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 thrown. 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 enchanter 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: I'm not finished with you yet, William. 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.
- Rogers: You're not still thinking she's alive?
- Prince Derek: When I find the Great Animal, Rogers, I'll find Odette.
- Rogers: Derek, you've searched 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?
- [Bromley lifts up his blindfold]
- Rogers: No peeking.
- [Bromley lowers his blindfold and stands at attention]
- Rogers: Animals, assemble!
- [Odette has died]
- Prince Derek: [heartbroken] Odette!
- [yelling out to Rothbart]
- Prince Derek: I made the vow for her! Do you hear? The vow I made was for her!
- Rothbart: No need to shout!
- Prince Derek: [approaches Rothbart] Don't let her die!
- Rothbart: Is that a threat?
- Prince Derek: [grabs Rothbart] Don't you *dare* let her die!
- Rothbart: [sarcastically] Ooh! It *is* a threat!
- Prince Derek: You're the only one with the power! Now do it!
- Rothbart: [pushes Derek to the ground] Only if you defeat... me!
- [Rothbart raises his hands, throws them onto the ground, disappears in a puff of magic smoke and becomes into a bat-like monster]
- Prince Derek: [stares in disbelief] The Great Animal!
- [Great Animal roars and attacks]
