Doc Hogg quotes from Bear in the Big Blue House

"The Story of My Life".

I'm collecting money for the poor Muskrats down in the valley who were recently flooded out of their muskrat holes when the river rose up last week.

♪ There's the movie theater ♪

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

[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.

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.

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.
