[Bear enters the kitchen, Tutter, wearing a framer's hat and a red handkerchief, was at the kitchen table in front of a tiny wheelbarrow containing tomatoes.]
[humming "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"] Oh, Bear… Oh, hi, Bear.
Oh, hey, Tutter. What are you up to?
Well, I was just gonna have a snack, Bear. Would you like to join me?
Oh, I'd love to, Tutter. What is on the menu?
Oh, heh, well, I have some fresh tomatoes from my little garden here.
Ooh. [He and Tutter smell the tomatoes]
Aaah.
They smell so good, Tutter.
Yeah, yeah, hmm. [taps lips] So, Bear, uh, what have you been up to today?
Oh, I just came back from the otter pond…
Mm-hm.
…Ojo found this really cool bug.
[screams in shock] A BUG! [flees back to his mousehole]
[looking around] Tutter? [sees Tutter from his mousehole] Tutter.
[scared] Bear, Bear, I'm down here.
Tutter.
[whimpers]
Tutter, what's the matter?
The matter? What's the matter? The matter is bugs, Bear. Bugs! [shivers]
But, Tutter, it was just a little bug.
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!
Well, Tutter, I can understand why you're worried but…
Yeah, I'm worried, Bear. Those bugs with their pinchers, and crazy wiggling antennas and the wings fluttering. [wriggles]
Tutter. Tutter, Tutter. Breathe in.
[inhales]
Breathe out.
[exhales]
Now, Tutter, the bug is way out at the Otter Pond and you're in here.
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?
Okay, Tutter, I'll tell her.
[sighs]
[to the viewer] Some of us don't like to be around bugs but, that’s okay, too.
Yeah.
But, you know, Tutter, there are some bugs that are useful.
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.
Oh, uh… Okay, Tutter. Bye bye.
Bye now.
