Grammi Gummi quotes from Adventures of the Gummi Bears

Grammi

GRUFFI GUMMI! You can defend the forest from every ogre out there, but you cannot defend Gummi Glen from a few mice!

My cage traps! More animals for my collection.

Sunni

Do something, Zummi!

Tummi

Pretty bells.

Talking bears? But that means..you are Gummi Bears? But I thought they were only fairy tales.

Zummi

Oh no, no, no. We are not Bummi Gears, I mean Gummi Bears.

Tummi

We, are, uh, dressed like Gummi Bears on our way to a costume party!

Sunni

We cannot talk either!

Do not try to con a con artist! You are Gummi Bears! You should all be honored to meet me. I am an artist, and I am going to immortalize you in stone.

Sunni

Oooh! I always wanted to be immortalized.

Grammi

[talking to herself] Ooh, I am going to fix his wagon!

[talking to himself] Gummi Bear statues will bring me a fortune.

Gruffi

[talking to himself] I will teach him to mess with Gummi Bears!

[in unison] OOF!

Gruffi

Hey, what is the big idea?

Grammi

Me? I almost had him when you..

Grammi

You put in the first piece, so I get to put in the last one.

Gruffi

Yeah, but I found the tablet.

Grammi

Why can you not be big about this?

Gruffi

Is that another short joke?

Cavin

This is no time to argue. Your friends need you!

Gruffi

After you.

Cubbi

I hope we get to battle some trolls!

Grammi

Cubbi dear, we are in unfamiliar territory. Do not wander too far from us!

Zummi

OK, the map says to look for a little waterfall.

Grammi

[surprised] A little waterfall?

Zummi

[nervous] Oh my, oh my, I cannot go on.

Cavin

What is wrong?

Cubbi

Zummi is scared of heights.

Cavin

Oh, no! You do not have to; you can wait here.

Zummi

No, you will need me to fix whatever is wrong at the pumping station.

Grammi

Do not look down! Look at the trees on the other bank!

Cavin

You are doing great.

Zummi

You just keep your eye on the goal...Whoa!

Cavin

Zummi, are you alright?

Zummi

[stammering] I-I-I, I cannot move!

Grammi

He is frozen with panic!

Cavin

I am going to try something else.

Cubbi

Try anything.

Grammi

Yeah, like a swift kick in the patootie!

Grammi

Gummi Bears built all this?

Zummi

Every Gummi warren in this part of the world must have gotten their water from here.

Grammi

And all this has run for centuries without anyone taking care of it. Oh Zummi, it is terrible what we have forgotten.

Zummi

When I suggested we come here, I had no idea we would be rediscovering our heritage.

Cavin

Unwin embarrassed me in front of the princess. He said I am too small and weak to be a knight. And the worst part is, he is right.

Grammi

Nonsense. That is Unwin is just a big bag of wind!

Sunni

Well, I think Cavin ought to ignore that brute.

Cubbi

No, you need to bash and smash!

Gruffi

Do not waste your time!

Grammi

I would flatten that Unwin into a pie crust!

Tummi

Pie crust, yum!

Cubbi

Bash and smash!

Zummi

STOP! Everyone! Gummis, we are all nobles and no peasants. We are not being helpful by bickering. Now, does anyone have a practical solution to Cavin's problem?

Cavin

How about Gummiberry juice?

Cubbi

Yeah! Just drink your Gummiberry juice and POW!

Zummi

No, no Cubbi and Cavin! Gummiberry juice is only for emergencies, not for selfish activities like bopping bullies. To become a real knight, you must train, practice and study.

Cubbi

Maybe there is an answer in the Great Book.

Gruffi

Remember, the fish is quick, so in order to catch it, you need to be quicker.

Grammi

Here Cubbi, I brought you some lunch.

Gruffi

Why do you think we are out here? I am trying to teach the kid how to survive in the forest!

Grammi

That is how I knew he would be hungry.

Grammi

Well, we got back Gruffi but we lost the sprite.

Grammi

[sighing] Do not waste your time. Sprites do not leave tracks.

Cubbi

Gruffi says everything leaves tracks, if you know what to look for.

Grammi

[angered, controlled voice] Gruffi is sometimes wrong, sweetums.

Cubbi

Look! The tracks left by the sprite's honey pot!

Grammi

[resigned tone] I suppose he is also sometimes right.

Gruffi

Who knows what would have happened had the ogres captured you? You are important to us.

Grammi

[sweetly] Aw, you really mean that?

Gruffi

Of course. Who else will make our Gummiberry juice?

Grammi

[annoyed] Thanks for the concern, muttonhead! [calm] But actually, you are right. The time has come for me to share the recipe with someone else.

Gruffi

Do not look at me. I do not know a ladle from a teaspoon. Cubbi is too young, Zummi would get it all backwards, and Tummi?

Grammi

Tummi would wolf down the ingredients before I even got started. That only leaves Sunni.

Gruffi

Naw, too flighty. And lately, no respect for Gummi traditions.

Grammi

Nonsense. Sunni is a fine young woman who respects the old values.

Sunni

Presenting, the new Sunni!

Cubbi

How were the Gummi Glen Gummis supposed to tell the others they could return?

Grammi

The ancients built some kind of great machine that could send messages across the ocean.

Sunni

But it's safe now, right?

Cubbi

Just think, if the bears returned, I would have someone to play with!

Cubbi

And I'd be a great Gummi warrior!

Sunni

And I'd be a Gummi princess.

Zummi

And I would learn from the great Gummi wizards.

Grammi

And there would finally be Gummis around who appreciate my cooking.

Tummi

I appreciate it!

Sunni

And we would not be alone any more.

Cubbi

Let's signal them to come back!

Grammi

It is a lovely idea, sweetheart, but we've never been able to find the signal machine.

Zummi

Oh my, oh my! It would be wonderful though.

Zummi

Well, it looks like Cavin guessed right.

Gruffi

[reluctant] I think this machine is dangerous and we should leave it be!

Cubbi

I found it!

Tummi

Wow, the Great Gummis never did anything small, did they? [Tummi examines lever] Since we are underground, maybe this makes it go overground!

Zummi

Well, let us do it!

Gruffi

No, no, no! If we raise this scope, Duke Igthorn could find it.

Grammi

But making contact with the Great Gummis is worth the risk.

Gruffi

We need to give this more thought. We cannot act now. It is not the Gummi way!

Zummi

But Gruffi, hold on! Our ancestors stayed behind so this very job could get done. Now it is incumbent upon us to follow through. This is the Gummi way!

Gruffi

You're right. [pulls the lever himself]

Cavin

[nervously] Here they come...

Cavin

Hi, guys!

Zummi

I am sorry you got caught in one of our traps, Cavin. But those trolls were a serious problem for us the last time they were sighted in the forest.

Cavin

That is what I came to talk to you about.

Gruffi

Look Cavin, you are a good kid. But this Dunwyn mess is too dangerous for us to involve ourselves.

Cavin

I am not asking for the king! My grandfather is on that coach.

Gruffi

Sorry Cavin, it is way too risky.

Cavin

But you owe Gramps your help.

Grammi

How do you figure that?

Cavin

It was my grandfather Gawain who found your great Medallion.

Cavin

[narrator] One day, when he was about my age, Gramps was doing some exploring in the Northern Mountains.

Zummi

[narrator] That is close to Ursalia.

Cavin

[narrator] True. At any rate, he must have startled something or someone, because a shadowy figure bounced away.

Cavin

[narrator] To which it dropped...a Gummi Medallion!

Cavin

[narrator] From that day forward, Grandfather believed in Gummi Bears.

Cavin

[narrator] When he was a knight, he always felt the Gummi Medallion brought him luck and success.

Cavin

[narrator] When I went off to be a page, he gave the Medallion to me in the hopes I would share in the same good fortune he did.

Cavin

Then I gave it to you.

Grammi

Without that Medallion, the Great Book would stay sealed.

Zummi

No access to the Great Book means no magic.

Look at this. I got this crystal egg from a magician who found it in an ancient desert pyramid.

King Gregor

How lovely.

Here Your Majesty. Hold it.

Duke Igthorn

Ha ha, I've got your king!

Sir Tuxford

It is a trick. Get him!

Duke Igthorn

Stop, fools! Take one more step and I will shatter this egg. Igthorn mounts his horse Now, I am going to Drekmore to hide this. When I return, I shall rule as your new king. Have my throne ready, peasants!

Princess Calla

Sir Tuxford, that was Igthorn. What did he...Calla sees crystal statue in horror...FATHER!

Grammi

But why don't the knights attack Drekmore Castle?

Princess Calla

If they do, Igthorn will smash the egg, and destroy my father.

Sunni

You mean all of Dunwyn is helpless?

Zummi

Chummi, when you arrive in New Gumbrea, would you please give this to the Great Gummis?

Chummi

Certainly. What is it?

Zummi

It is a message telling the Gummis that we still are here in Gummi Glen.

Grammi

But it has been so long. We want them to come back!

Chummi

Ha! I can do better than that! Instead of bringing the Gummis to you, I will take you with me!

Grammi

My goodness! We will finally be able to meet all our Gummi cousins!

Sunni

Think of the parties!

Tummi

Think of the pastries.

Grammi

Goodbye sink. Goodbye cutting board.

Zummi

Gruffi? What in the world are you doing?

Gruffi

I do not want other Gummis who come here next to think we did not take good care of this place.

Zummi

But we are leaving in several hours!

Gruffi

That does not matter. It is my job and I am not leaving until it is completed.

Tummi

Now that you mention it, who will harvest the Gummiberry bushes?

Sunni

Um, I really should return Calla's scarf.

Grammi

Come to think of it, how will we make sure that the weeds do not gain a foothold in the warren?

Zummi

Gummis! Do you know what we are really saying? We do not want to go to New Gumbrea!

Tummi

Yes, but what will we tell Chummi?

Chummi

You do not have to. I made the offer to you, not vice versa.

Gruffi

You see Chummi, our ancestors' responsibility was to take care of this place until the Gummis could return. Now we have inherited this duty.

Chummi

It is an important mission Gruffi, and I understand.

Cubbi

What?! You are all backing out? No fair!

Grammi

I am sorry, sweetheart.

Cubbi

I want to leave! I just have to be a knight and over there is the only place to do it!

Gruffi

Not by yourself, kid. It is too dangerous.

Chummi

It may not be my place to say anything, but I can understand what Cubbi is going through. Like him, I was the youngest Gummi in my warren. And when I grew up, it also made me the last Gummi. That is not much of a future.
