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.
