That book that this is based on was a favourite of my childhood, I'm loathe to see the adaptation because I know it is raaaather different. I would give it some leeway - though. The main character isn't meant to be able to speak English, English as a language didn't exist back then :P The line is possibly taken from the book, possibly adapted into a setting from the book, which isn't exactly written in Latin in the first place :P
