Bear quotes from Bear in the Big Blue House

Bear

[looks at the visitation date on Grandma Flutter's letter] Oh, my. Oh, my, my, my, my, my.

Tutter

What? What's wrong, Bear?

Bear

Nothing. Nothing is wrong, Tutter. No. It just says that your grandma should be coming here... today.

I'm sorry.

Bear

Well, I had some quiet time and lot of help from my friends.

♪ The bear went over the mountain ♪

Bear

[man's voice] I'm-a going up there.

♪ The bear went over the mountain ♪

Bear

[man's voice] I'm going all the way up there.

♪ The bear went over the mountain ♪

♪ He saw another mountain, he saw another mountain ♪

Bear

[man's voice, about the mountain he spotted] Duh. I think I'll climb that other mountain and see what's over there! [chuckles] Yup! [hums]

Tutter

[shocked] You took one of my cheeses from the cheese drawer? But I was going to make a two cheese cheesecake, Bear!

Bear

I'm sorry. Don't you have enough?

Tutter

No, Bear! No, I don't have 'em. Look, look, I had two cheeses.. If you took one of those cheeses away, I only have... one cheese left! And, that's what I needed to make my two cheese cheesecake.

Is this Old Bullfrog?

Bear

[confused] Who's calling? This isn't Old Doc Hogg. Why, no. Kinda sounds similar, though.

Bear

[laughs] Wow. That was great cha-chaing, every… [sees that Ojo, Treelo, Tutter, Pip and Pop are gone] everybody? Um… [to the viewer] Hey. Where did everybody go? Hmm… Oh, well. There's nothing like cha-cha-chaing on your birthday. But, you know, oldest cha-cha-chaing has made this bear hungry. You know what I could go for? A whole mess of cooked and buttered string beans. [taps lips] Mmm. Let's go down to the kitchen and make some.

[to Tutter and Treelo] How's it going, you guys?

Treelo

[with two popsicle sticks glued to his fingers] A little bit stuck to me again. Oh, oh. Uh… [to Ojo] Treelo almost done.

Tutter

[grunting] I'm stirring, Ojo. I'm stirring as fast as I can! [Treelo tries to get the popsicle sticks off his fingers] Oh, still too lumpy!

Tutter

Stir, stir. [grunts]

Uh… great.

Tutter

Stir, stir. [grunts]

Pip! Pop! Where are you?

Pip

I don't know. Maybe…

Pop

Hey, Ojo.

Pip

Oh, there's Ojo.

Oh, there you are. How's it going?

Pop

Oh, well…

Pip

Oh. Oh, well, we had a little bit of difficulty with the, uh… uh, the crepe paper.

It's going, um… real good.

Uh… oh. okay. Well, could you just hurry up a little, okay?

Pip

Okay, no problem, Ojo. Okay.

[laughs] Oh, Pip and Pop. [to the viewer] Oh, what do you think we should do next for Bear's big birthday party?

Bear

Hey, Ojo.

[gasps] Bear! [looks around]

Bear

Ojo, are you okay?

Uh, uh, uh, uh… [yells out to her friends] Hello, Bear. [Tutter, Treelo, Pip and Pop appear]

Tutter

Huh? Bear?!

Bear

Oh, uh, hi, guys.

Uh… Bear! What are you doing, uh, doing here? Uh, I mean, right now. I mean, now.

Bear

Well, I'm going to the kitchen to make a whole mess of cooked and buttered string beans. Want some?

Huh?! No, Bear, no! You can't make any cooked and buttered string beans right now. [the kids shake their heads]

Bear

No?

Tutter

No, no, no, Bear. Not even a whole mess of them! [to the viewers] Whatever that is.

Bear

Well, why not?

Tutter

Why not? Why not, indeed? Well because we have to, uh… Uh, we have to…

We have to, uh… take a bath. [nods] Yeah.

[agreed]

Bear

Okay, okay. If you guys really want to take a bath…

Pop

We do.

Bear

Then everybody into the tub.

[cheering]

[to the viewer] Bear's going to be done drying his fur any minute. Are you guys finished yet?

Treelo

Look. I am. Treelo finish.

Tutter

Uh… W-well, the cake is at a very delicate point, Ojo. A-a very delicate point.

We need lots more decorations.

Bear

[offscreen] Hey, everybody!

[gasp in shock]

Bear

Who wants a mess of cooked and buttered string beans?

Bear

Hello? Everybody? I'll be right down.

Bear

Hmm. Everybody's acting a little odd today. Hmm. [to the viewer] Do you happen to know what they're up to? Hm? Oh, well. Let's go down to the kitchen and try and find 'em. Come on.

Bear

Hello? Hello? Gee, I wonder where everybody went.

Pip

Quiet.

Be quiet, you guys.

Pop

Quiet.

Pip

I was being quiet.

Tutter

Will you guys just be quiet?

[to the viewer] Shh, shh. Don't tell Bear. Remember, when Bear turns on the light, yell, "Surprise!" Okay?

Tutter

Oh, here he comes!

Okay, everybody hide. Hide, hide. Hide, hide.

Bear

Hey. It's dark in here. Well, I'll just turn on the lights. [turns on the lights]

Surprise!

Bear

Agh!

Happy birthday, Bear! Yay! [laughter]

Bear

Oh, wow! This… This is great! I mean, I didn't want a fuss made, but… Wow! I… I can't believe it!

Tutter

Well, it's just begun! Hit it!

Bear

Now, let's see…

Tutter

Okay, Bear.

Bear

Hm?

Tutter

I'm ready! Let's go!

Bear

Oh!

Tutter

[laughs] Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

Bear

Hi, Tutter. How's the mouseapult working?

Tutter

This is it, Bear. This is it. [gasps] History in the making. And you are there! [laughing]

Bear

Wow.

Tutter

Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

Bear

You know, Tutter. This is very exciting.

Tutter

Yes. Mm.

Bear

Let's watch.

Tutter

Oh! Um, uh… Actually, Bear, uh, could you spare a moment or two to, uh, help a mouse?

Bear

Well, sure, Tutter. What can I do?

Tutter

Oh! Okay. Great. Now, you just carefully drop the wedge of brie on the other end of the mouseapult when I say go, and stand back. Stand back and watch this mouse fly, Bear. Watch me fly! [laughs]

Bear

Okay, Tutter.

Tutter

Yeah.

Bear

But, Tutter…

Tutter

Huh?

Bear

…be careful.

Tutter

Oh, of course, Bear. I'll be careful.

Bear

Okay.

Tutter

Okay.

Bear

Ready?

Tutter

Ready.

Bear

Set?

Tutter

Set. Let'er rip, Bear. Let'er rip.

Bear

Tutter!

Tutter

[spitting rice out of his mouth] Great cheeser's ghost. Oh. What happened? Where am I? I've gone so far, I… [gasps] I'm on another planet! It seems to be made of strange grainy substance. Hmm. Very interesting. I've never seen…

Bear

Tutter.

Tutter

[yells] What, where?!

Bear

Tutter, Tutter, Tutter, it's okay. It's okay. It's me. Bear.

Tutter

B-Bear? Wh… How did you get up here in outer space? Wow! That mouseapult works a lot better than I thought, huh?

Bear

Tutter?

Tutter

Wow! Whoa…

Bear

Tutter, Tutter. Tutter?

Tutter

What? Yes, Bear?

Bear

You landed in the rice can.

Tutter

Huh? The rice can? [looks at it] Oh! [laughing] The rice can. I'm in the rice can, Bear.

Bear

Yeah.

Tutter

[laughing]

Bear

Tutter? Are you okay?

Tutter

[panting] Oh, oh, yeah, yeah. I'm perfectly okay, Bear. Just a little, um, grainy. Just a little grainy, Bear. Well, I guess it's back to the old drawing board again. Well, see you later, Bear. Goodbye.

Bear

Okay, Tutter. Good luck.

Bear

So Ray, what's the weather going to be like the rest of the day!

Ray

Sunny and warm as far as the eye can see. But of course you know; Bear, my outlook is warm and sunny! Well, I'll see you soon, Bear. Enjoy my day! [laughs]

Bear

I will, Ray! And thanks!

Bear

Well, when it's raining and thundering and lightning, it's just safer to go inside the house.

Pip

But Bear, we don't want to go in.

Pop

We worked so hard cleaning up the pond.

Pip

Now we want to swim in it! [lightning flashes]

Bear

Okay, that's it. Sorry, guys. Come on, come on.

Bear

Look, Tutter's taking a nap.

Tutter

More cheese for King Tutter.

Bear

So Ray, what's the weather going to be like today?

Ray

[laughs] Well Bear, you know me. [the sky turns gray] I always love to look up at the sunny side of things, but I must say there's a big storm coming your way!

Bear

Really? Well, thanks for telling me. I guess I'd better get ready. But...Ray, before you go; can you tell me something?

Ray

Yes?

Bear

When it's raining, where do you go? Where does the Sun go before when it rains?

Ray

Well Bear, I must be up here in my usual place high in the sky to brighten up the day and to dry up all the rain.

Bear

Wow! Did you know that? Thanks for the weather report! I hope I'll see you again real soon.

Ray

I certainly will, Bear. I certainly will!

Tutter

[offscreen] I'm afraid! I'm afraid!

Huh?

Tutter

[holding Kitty] Yeah. I'm really, really afraid! [whimpering and glups]

Bear

Oh! Hi, Tutter.

Tutter

"Hi"? Is that all you can say? "Hi"? The whole sky is falling down around us, and-and making lots of loud awful noises and all you could say is "hi"?! Oh!

Bear

Tutter, I can understand. Storms can be scary, sometimes but, believe me, we're safe and sound inside. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Bear

Guys, guys. It's okay. It's okay. Look. I have my trusty Bearcraft flashlight.

Huh? [Bear turns on the flashlight] Oh!

Bear

See?

Hey, you guys, oh, look, Bear's got a flashlight.

Treelo

Hello, flashlight.

Yeah.

Bear

Yeah. See, Tutter? [moves the flashlight to the floor, but Tutter is not there]

Hey, where's Tutter?

Treelo

Hey.

Tutter?

Bear

Tutter?

Treelo

Tutter?

Tutter?

Treelo

Tutter?

Where'd you go?

Bear

Oh, Tutter!

Tutter

Huh?

Bear

Tutter, it's okay. Sometimes in a storm, the lights do go out, but sometimes they come back on again really soon.

Tutter

R-R-Really?

Bear

Really. And as long as I have my flashlight, everything's okay.

Tutter

Well, okay, Bear, okay. But, you know, a little noise to a big old bear like you can be an awful lot of noise for a little, bitty mouse like…

Bear

Tutter?

Bear?

Bear

Tutter?

What's wrong with Tutter?

Treelo

Yeah. [gasps] Look! Look!

Tutter

Bear! [stammers] It's… it's… IT'S A GIANT MOUSE!!! [screaming]

Bear

Tutter, Tutter, it's okay. It's just your shadow.

Tutter

What? What?

Bear

It's the shadow, that the flashlight is making on you.

Tutter

[stammers] Me? [stammering] Really?

Bear

Yes. If you move your tail, the tail on the shadow will move, too.

Tutter

Yeah? [wags his tail] Wha-? Hey! Hey, yeah! It is me! Hey. [the lights went back on again]

Treelo

Hey! The lights!

Yay! The lights are back! [Bear nods to the viewer]

Tutter

Hey, where'd the giant Tutter go? [turns to the camera in confusion]

Tutter

[humming "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"] Oh, Bear… Oh, hi, Bear.

Bear

Oh, hey, Tutter. What are you up to?

Tutter

Well, I was just gonna have a snack, Bear. Would you like to join me?

Bear

Oh, I'd love to, Tutter. What is on the menu?

Tutter

Oh, heh, well, I have some fresh tomatoes from my little garden here.

Bear

Ooh. [He and Tutter smell the tomatoes]

Aaah.

Bear

They smell so good, Tutter.

Tutter

Yeah, yeah, hmm. [taps lips] So, Bear, uh, what have you been up to today?

Bear

Oh, I just came back from the otter pond…

Tutter

Mm-hm.

Bear

…Ojo found this really cool bug.

Tutter

[screams in shock] A BUG! [flees back to his mousehole]

Bear

[looking around] Tutter? [sees Tutter from his mousehole] Tutter.

Tutter

[scared] Bear, Bear, I'm down here.

Bear

Tutter.

Tutter

[whimpers]

Bear

Tutter, what's the matter?

Tutter

The matter? What's the matter? The matter is bugs, Bear. Bugs! [shivers]

Bear

But, Tutter, it was just a little bug.

Tutter

Little? Little bug? Heh. Well, it may be to a big old bear like you, but to a mouse, they're giants. [to the viewer] GIANTS I TELL YOU!

Bear

Well, Tutter, I can understand why you're worried but…

Tutter

Yeah, I'm worried, Bear. Those bugs with their pinchers, and crazy wiggling antennas and the wings fluttering. [wriggles]

Bear

Tutter. Tutter, Tutter. Breathe in.

Tutter

[inhales]

Bear

Breathe out.

Tutter

[exhales]

Bear

Now, Tutter, the bug is way out at the Otter Pond and you're in here.

Tutter

Oh, you don't think these bugs like I do, Bear. One minute they're out there. And the next minute they're right in your face eating all your food! [whimpers] Just don't let Ojo bring it in the house, Bear, okay?

Bear

Okay, Tutter, I'll tell her.

Tutter

[sighs]

Bear

[to the viewer] Some of us don't like to be around bugs but, that’s okay, too.

Tutter

Yeah.

Bear

But, you know, Tutter, there are some bugs that are useful.

Tutter

Well, that's all well and good, Bear. All well and good. Er, but, if you don't mind, I'd rather bugs not be useful around me. Huh! See you later, Bear, goodbye.

Bear

Oh, uh… Okay, Tutter. Bye bye.

Tutter

Bye now.
