Dialogue

 * Boyd: [while playing Marco Polo] No fair! Louie didn't say "polo"!
 * Ella: Well, he can't talk.
 * Boyd: Can't talk? And he calls himself a Trumpeter Swan? I don't think so.
 * Billie: Louie can't help it. Father says he's, you know, [whispering] defective.
 * Boyd: Well, defect, Marco Polo is a talking game, and if you can't talk, you can't play!


 * [while Ella and Billie are playing a game, Louie stands nearby]
 * Ella: You've got the beat, bro. Wanna join in?
 * Louie: [to himself] If only she knew how much.
 * Ella: Oh, sorry.
 * Billie: Now see what you did?
 * Ella: Sorry. It's not my fault he's, you know, defective.


 * Serena: [seeing Louie's heart-shaped cloud] It's beautiful.
 * Boyd: Okay, okay, what does it say?
 * Serena: It says that Louie is mine, and I am his, forever.
 * Boyd: [angrily; to Louie] So you can talk now, huh? Well, let's see what you have to say without your horn!
 * [Boyd attacks Louie and knocks his horn into the water]
 * Louie: No! My voice!
 * Boyd: Ha, ha, there goes your love call, songbird! Now get off my lake, and this time, don't come back!
 * [They both fight]


 * [after Sam saves Ella and Billie from a wolf, with Louie's warning]
 * Father: Thank goodness you are safe, my precious daughters. When I think of what could have happened with poor Louie here unable to cry out a warning! But I'm sure you tried your best, son.
 * Louie: I did try! Can't he see how hard I tried?
 * Mother: Darling, that human boy, he saved the lives of our children.
 * Father: He has my eternal gratitude.
 * Sam: Hey, it was no problem.
