Friend Owl Quotes in Bambi (1942)

Flower: [about two birds fluttering around] Well! What's the matter with them?

Thumper: Why are they acting that way?

Friend Owl: Why, don't you know? They're twitterpated.

Flower, Thumper, Bambi: Twitterpated?

Friend Owl: Yes. Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example: you're walking along, minding your own business. You're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden, you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather; and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!

Thumper: Gosh. That's awful.

Flower: Gee whiz.

Bambi: Terrible!

Friend Owl: And that ain't all. It can happen to anybody. So you'd better be careful.

[points at Bambi]

Friend Owl: It could happen to you...

[points at Thumper]

Friend Owl: ...and you, and...

[Flower looks at Owl shyly]

Friend Owl: Yes, it could even happen to you!

Thumper: Well, it's not gonna happen to me.

Bambi: Me neither.

Flower: Me neither.

Friend Owl: Same thing every spring. "Tweet-tweet, tweet-tweet! Tweet-tweet, tweet-tweet!" Love's sweet song. Hm! Pain in the pinfeathers, I call it!

Friend Owl: You know, just the other day, I was talking to myself about you, and we were wondering what had become of you.

[repeated line]

Friend Owl: [everytime he is woken up] Oh, what now?
