[Bear puts up his skunk clock on the wall and turns it on]
There. It looks pretty good, huh? …for a skunk. [sniffing] And for a skunk clock, it smells pretty good too.
[He chuckles as he watches the skunk clock's tail pendulum swinging and yawns]
Suddenly, I'm a little sleepy. Um, I think I'll go take a nap for a few minutes. I'll be back. [exits the kitchen]
Oh, hickory dickory! [the camera pans down to him] What is making that noise. It's… [scoffs] Gee whiz… [he is seen holding Kitty and his blanket] How can a mouse take a nap around here with all this ticking and tocking! Bear! Who is making all that noise? Bear?
[He looks around and saws Bear's skunk clock]
[founds the problem] Aha! [turns around; to the viewer] Look at that. Will you? [growls]
[He storms off inside his mousehole and runs upstairs offscreen to the top shelf]
Humph. Now let me see, go up the stairs here… up the left… up the right… [panting] Boy, lot more stairs than I remember from last time. Oh, trying to take a look. Now, where is that… where could… oh, yeah! Ahem. Um, excuse me, Mr., um, Skunk. Um, I know you must be a guest of Bear's and I-I hate to be rude… but would you mind terribly, I mean, would you terribly mind, wou-- would you ju… [shouting] OH, WOULD YOU JUST BE QUIET?!?
[The camera shows the skunk clock's view]
Aha. Well, um… You see, this mouse is trying to take a nap and-and with all that tick, tock, tick tocking… Well, heh, it is pretty noisy. [laughs]
[The skunk clock won't answer]
Excuse me, um… [gulps] M-M-Mr. Skunk? H-Hello? Um… W-w-well, a-at least you could answer me! Would you-- Hey. Hey wha-- Quit looking at me like that! W-Would… [looks at the skunk clock's tail pendulum] And quit wagging your tail! W-Would… Stop, I mean it now! Stop it, please!
[entering the kitchen] Tutter?
Just stop it! Stop it! [gasping]
Tutter? Tutter! Tutter! Take it easy. Now, breathe in… [Tutter deeply breathes in] Breathe out. [Tutter exhales and gulps in horror] Now, Tutter, tell me what happened?
[mumbling] Well, th-this skunk-this skunk, Bear, [Bear looks confused] i-is-is scaring me. HE'S SCARING ME!! [gasping]
Skunk? Wh--? Oh, you mean my new skunk clock?
Clock? I don't know anything about a clock. All I know is that skunk won't even answer me, Bear. And those eyes. Those eyes! [goes crazy]
No. No. Tutter, Tutter, take it easy. See, it's not a real skunk, it's a clock - in the shape of a skunk.
Huh?
Yes. It's a clock. See? The numbers.
I-I guess I do see the numbers, Bear, but… that's a strange skunk!
Tell you what, Tutter. Why don't you come on down and I'll show you something. Okay?
Oh. Okay, Bear, but I don't know what there is to see.
