Bear quotes from Bear in the Big Blue House

Bear

What happened?

I think Tutter hurt his tail.

Treelo

We're playing hide and seek, Bear.

Yeah. We were playing hide and seek, and then Tutter and I, we hid behind the table and then the book, it... The book!

Bear

[spots the book that fell] The book. This one?

The book fall down on Tutter's tail, Bear. Let me move it.

Tutter

Look at it, Bear! Would you look at it?

Bear

I can't look at it. Would you... [notices a tail that bent]

Treelo

[shocked] It's bent!

Bear

I know it's bent, Treelo!

Tutter

Oh, woe is me. A mouse with a bent tail! What could be worse, I ask you? What could be worse!

Hmm?

Tutter

…what's the story?

Eh?

Tutter

Well, what's wrong with my little tail?

Tutter, I think your tail has a little fracture in it.

Tutter

[relaxed] Hm-hm, a fracture. Hm. [shocked] A FRACTURE?! [gasps] A fracture! Bear, I've got a fracture! Oh, it's worse than I thought! Oh…! Doctor Hogg, what's a fracture?

Oh. [chuckles] Well, Tutter, it's not too bad. It can happen to anyone. I'll use the x-ray machine and I'll show you.

Tutter

[surprised] An x-ray? What's that?!

[bringing in an x-ray camera] Well, I'll show you that, too. See, this is an x-ray camera. It can take a picture of the inside of you.

Tutter

What?

This time, we're taking a picture of the inside of your tail.

Tutter

Really?

Mm-hm.

Tutter

The inside of my tail?

[chuckles]

Tutter

Boy, wow! Hey, I've never seen the inside of my tail before, Bear.

Bear

I know. Me neither.

[chuckle]

Okay, now, if you don't mind, step back, Bear, Ojo, you too. [moves the x-ray camera towards Tutter] Give Tutter a little bit of room.

Okay.

Bear

Okay, Tutter. We're still here.

And in just a minute or two, we'll have…

…a picture.

Tutter

Ah.

[chuckles] Hmm? Now then, uh, Tutter, you see right there?

Tutter

Wh… You mean that little break?

Yep. That's what a fracture is. [Bear nods to the viewer]

Tutter

Ah.

A little break in one of your bones.

Tutter

Oh, okay.

If I had a dime for every time a mouse came in here with a little fracture in his tail. Well, heh-heh. I'd have a whole lot of dimes. [Bear, in confusion, Tutter and Ojo, in surprise, stare at the camera] Well, uh, because of that fracture…

Tutter

Mm-hm.

…we'll have to give you a little cast.

Tutter

[gasps softly] Hey. Hey, did you hear that, guys? I'm going to get a cast.

Bear

Yeah. [Tutter chuckles, but looks interested]

Tutter

Doctor Hogg, what's a cast?

Oh, well…

See? A cast is a special hard bandage that can set your tail in the right position.

Tutter

What, you mean so it'll be straight again?

That's the idea, Tutter.

Bear, did I see a lot of little blue mice leaving your house this evening? Or were the clouds playing tricks on my eyes?

Bear

[laughs] No, Luna. There were a lot of mice today. It was the Tutter Family Reunion!

Bear

Aaah. [to the viewer] You know, I'm still doing things a little differently today. Instead of having my usual cup of tea, I'm having a cup of nice, hot cocoa. [smells the hot cocoa] Ah. Smells delicious.

[offscreen] Bear! Bear! Ooh...

Bear

That sounds like Ojo. Ojo? [hears Ojo, who is wearing a hat and scarf, panting] Ojo? [He bumps into Ojo] Oh! Ojo, take it easy. Okay, now, just tell me what happened.

Bear, I was, I was up in the attic playing dress up, and, and, and, and, and, and…

Bear

Ojo, Ojo, easy, easy. Breathe in. [Ojo inhales] Breathe out. [Ojo exhales]

[panting] And this big old monster with wings came flying right in the window, Bear. It was awful.

Bear

A monster? Through the window?

Tutter

Hey, hey, hey!

Bear

Hmm? [Tutter was at his mousehole, holding a picture book] Oh, hey, Tutter.

Tutter

What's the-- Hey, Bear. Wh-what's all the racket? I'm trying to concentrate on a picture book in here.

Oh, oh, but, Tutter, I saw a monster. [Tutter looks shocked and stares at the camera for a few seconds] He had these big brown wings and these big pointy ears, [Tutter laughs, thinking Ojo is making that up] and, and…

Tutter

Oh, Ojo. Brown wings, pointy ears.

But-but-but, Tutter.

Tutter

[laughs] Well, any mouse can tell you there's no such thing as monsters. [to Bear] Right, Bear?

Bear

That's right, Tutter.

Tutter

[to Ojo] See? Heh-heh.

Bear

In fact, Ojo, I think you saw a little [Tutter nods] bat that flew in from the pond.

Tutter

[looking in his picture book] Yeah, that's right, a little-- [gasps in shock] Bat?! Did-did-did you say "bat"?

Bear

Yeah, Tutter.

Tutter

As in "flappy-flappy, eekie-eekie"?

Bear

Um… yeah. [Tutter turns to the camera in horror]

Tutter

LATER! [rushes back inside his mousehole and slams the door closed]

Bear

But, Tutter, there's nothing to be…

Bear

…afraid of.

Bear

I know what you mean. You mean [picks up a plug] the plug!

That's it! The plug! [the word "Plug" appears]

Bear

"Plug" is a word that begins with "P". Do you know that?

Bear

Ah, there you are. How are things going?

Oh, well, uh they're going great, Bear! Just great! Everything's uh perfect, just like I promised!

Bear

I'm glad to hear it. The food's coming along nicely.

This really might be the best Thanksgiving ever! Oh, you bet, Bear.

Bear

Oh and by the way, lovely centerpiece.

Bear

[reading the "1001 Ways to Cook Slop" book] First, gather all of your dry ingredients...

Dry, I'll say, dry...

Bear

Then, mix them together in a bowl with milk, butter and sugar. This sounds pretty tasty, but it doesn't sound like a story. [he notices the cookbook] Wait a second. This is a cookbook!

Bear

[to Doc Hogg & Jeremiah Tortoise] We have to keep our voices down because Ojo's asleep in the living room and Tutter's asleep here in the kitchen.

Don't worry about us, Bear. [eyes pop, covers his mouth] We'll be as quiet as mice just like Tutter.

Bear

And by the way...

Happy Holidays! [shouting farewells]

Can't be a Woodland Valley firefighter without the hat, Bear. [chuckles]

Bear

Yes, I know, Doc. Hey, I bet you didn't know that Doc and I are volunteer firefighters.

Well, sometimes when things happens, like what happened to the library, it's weird when buildings get hurt and it worries me, Bear.

Bear

Yeah, I know what you mean, Ojo. But maybe this'll help. [sings]

Tutter

But Bear, what if the other kids at school don't like me? What if I don't fit in, Bear? Who's gonna help me through my first day of school, Bear? Because if you're not there, I don't know who's gonna do it! And I don't think I can make it through the entire day without you!

Bear

Tutter, Tutter. Breathe in. Breathe out.

Bear

So, Tutter, how's it going? Still worried about fitting in?

Tutter

Fitting in? Me? [giggles] Oh, no, Bear. It's you won't fit in. You're too big. Too big!

This is gonna be great, it's a little game I just made up called "grilling Mr. Cheese"

Pip

Grilling Mr. Cheese?

Yeah, we capture Mr. Cheese, put him under a hot light and ask him a bunch of questions about what he's been up to.

My guess is, he's gonna melt under the pressure (laughs) [Rocko speeds off to get Mr. Cheese]

ROCKO NO!

Aha! [Rocko takes Mr. Cheese] I got him, I got him!

Tutter

What are you doing Rocko?

I got some questions for you

Tutter

Hey!

Pip

that's not cool

Rocko! Let go!

Tutter

give me Mr. Cheese Rocko, give him back! [Rocko and Tutter fights over Mr. Cheese] [Bear comes in]

Bear

Well, here's your snacks the... [Bear is surprised] Hey! What's going on?

Ooh, uhh... Everything's okay Bear, just having some fun, right guys?

Well, actually...

Tutter

(screaming) NO! NO NO NO NO, AND NO!

Pip

I'm afraid it's all true

Pop

[nodding] Mhm

Pip

Everybody is not having fun Rocko

Pop

Yeah, in fact, it's kind of turned into the opposite of fun

Pip

One could say "un-fun"

Pop

[nodding again] Mhm

Me? Un-fun? Well, okay then, forget it! FORGET ALL OF YOU! [Rocko leaves]

Bear

Well, umm...

Bear

Gosh, what happened? I thought you all we're having fun

Pip

Well... Don't get us wrong

We love Rocko Bear, he's our cousin

Pop

But I think he's not so good at playing nice

Pip

One might say "Un-nice"

Pop

Ooh, very good

Oh yeah, you know? He only wanted to do what he wanted to do

Treelo

He hurt feelings

Tutter

Yeah, and wanted to grill poor Mr. Cheese!

Bear

Gee, well... I think we all should talk to Rocko about this, why don't you all think about what you want to say and... I'll go see if he's okay [Bear leaves]

Tutter

Okay bear

alright bear

I was gonna say "get the glasses filled with some ice" "and a nice lemon slice for a garnish," but just plain old lemonade in a dirty glass is fine, I guess. See you up in the attic!

Bear

No, see I thought you were gonna say... okay, be right up.
