Young Tod
- Young Tod: Copper, you're my best friend.
- Young Copper: And you're mine too, Tod.
- Young Tod: And we'll always be friends forever. Won't we?
- Young Copper: Yeah, forever.
- Big Mama: Tod, that Copper is going to come back a hunting dog, a real killer.
- Young Tod: Oh no, not my friend Copper. He won't ever change.
- Big Mama: I hope you're right.
- Young Tod: And we'll keep on being friends forever. Right, Big Mama?
- Big Mama: Darling, forever is a long, long time, and time has a way of changing things.
- Young Tod: What are you smelling?
- Young Copper: I'm on the trail of something.
- Young Tod: Trail of... what?
- Young Copper: I don't know yet.
- [sniffs Tod]
- Young Copper: Why it's... it's you.
- [howls]
- Young Tod: What'd you do that for?
- Young Copper: We're supposed to do that when we find what we've been tracking.
- Young Tod: I'm a fox. My name's Tod. What's your name kid?
- Young Copper: Mine's Copper. I'm a hound dog.
- Young Tod: I bet you'd be good at playing Hide and Seek! Wanna try it, Copper?
- Young Copper: Can I use my nose?
- Young Tod: Sure. Okay, now go ahead and close your eyes and count.
- [Copper turns around and covers his eyes]
- Young Copper: One, two, three...
- [Copper looks over his shoulder]
- Young Tod: No, Copper! You can't peek!
- Young Copper: Oh.
- Young Tod: Now, try again.
- Young Tod: Oh, Big Mama, I know Copper would never track on me down. Why, Copper, he's my very best friend.
- Big Mama: Ho-ho, your best friend! Now Copper's gonna do what he's been told. Supposed to chase the little fox in the old fox hole. And along comes the hunter with a buckshot load.
- Boomer: [pretending to shoot a gun] K-K-Kabaam!
- [Dinky pretends to get shot and falls off the tree]
- Big Mama: Elimination.
- Dinky: [lying on the ground] Lack of education.
- Big Mama: You better believe it, Tod, yes siree.
- Young Tod: You mean Copper is gonna be my enemy?
- Young Tod: [about Chief] His ears are almost as big as yours.
- Young Copper: That's not the part you gotta worry about.
- Young Tod: Gosh, look at those teeth.
- Young Copper: That's the part you gotta worry about!
