One Sorrowful Owl/Transcript

The following is a transcript from the fifteenth episode of Bambi, "One Sorrowful Owl".

Act 1
(Intro)

(We fade into a panning shot of the forest until we get to Friend Owl's tree, as it slowly stops panning and starts zooming in on Friend Owl's tree. We then fade to Friend Owl, who is looking less cheerful (and less grumpy, for that matter) than he usually is. As he looks around his home for a bit, he then proceeds to head to the Great Prince, who is just getting ready for his protecting duties when he noticed Friend Owl, who is looking gloomy.)

The Great Prince: Friend Owl? Are you alright?

Friend Owl: Yes... Just leave me alone for a while.

(He flies away to head to the lake, leaving the Great Prince confused.)

(We then fade to Bambi finishing his breakfast when he noticed Friend Owl flying above him. As the owl noticed Bambi, he flew to a branch and stood on there.)

Bambi: Hello, Friend Owl.

(The deer notices that he is looking neither cheerful or grumpy today.)

Bambi: What's wrong? You look a bit more gloomy than I remember.

Friend Owl: No... Nothing's wrong.

(As the owl flies away, Bambi look confused, too.)

Bambi: Hmm... Odd. Normally, he would be cheerful to see me. Or maybe grumpy?

(As Bambi ponders for a bit, we then cut to Flower and Thumper coming up to Bambi, looking as cheerful as ever.)

Thumper: Hiya, Bambi!

(Bambi is taken by Thumper's appearance, and noticed them, so he greeted them.)

Bambi: Err... Hey, Thumper! Listen, something's not right about Friend Owl.

Thumper: Huh? Why?

Bambi: I dunno... Maybe there's something he's hiding from us?

Flower: Could be. I mean... Right?

(Thumper just shakes his head.)

Thumper: We dunno about that, either.

(Thumper thinks for a bit before giving Bambi an idea.)

Thumper: Why don't you try asking him?

Bambi: I'm... Not sure.

Thumper: Why? Maybe you would cheer him up that way?

Bambi: Not sure if that's gonna be possible.

(He notices Friend Owl standing on a branch looking at a pond.)

Bambi: But I'll go and ask what's really up.

(As Bambi prepares to go to Friend Owl, Thumper stops him.)

Thumper: Wait!

(The deer ganders at his two best buds.)

Flower: We'll go with you.

Bambi: Thanks.

(With that, they head over to the pond, where Friend Owl is at, as we fade to the owl still looking gloomy. Just then, Bambi and his two best buds arrive at the pond, as the owl notices their presence.)

Friend Owl (gloomily voice): Oh... Now what?

Bambi: Err... Hey, I know something's up with you.

Friend Owl (grumpy voice): Whaddya mean something's up with me?! Of course there's not!

Bambi: But I saw you looking gloomy before! Can't you at least tell me?

(The owl finally sighs, as he reveals what has been bothering him this whole time.)

Friend Owl (gloomily voice): It's my parents. They've been gone for as long as I can remember.

(As Bambi and his friends sat down by the lake to listen to him, he continues his reasoning.)

Friend Owl (gloomily voice): They were such good parents to me...

(We pan over to a lake as Friend Owl is speaking, then there's a ripple transition to the owl when he was an owlet, with his parents taking good care of him.)
