Bear in the Big Blue House Season 1 quotes

Bear

[picks up a black rotary telephone] My phone's ringing. But...where is he?

Pop

[shocked that Bear lost his cha-cha-cha playing the bongos] Oh, no.

Pip

Bear lost his beat.

Pop

Oh, alas!

Pip

Poor Bear.

Bear

Well, a little strange. I woke up one morning and I lost my cha-cha-cha.

[shocked] Oh, no.

Bear

[to the viewer] Wow. That is one little bear cub that is ready to wait. Say, have you ever had to wait for anything? Yeah. Wait.

Bear

Ahem. [the word "wait" appears] Wait. Yeah. We all have to wait but it's just a part of life. Even though sometimes it can be really hard to wait for things. [the word disappears] Like, for example, when you have to wait your turn to ride the carousel.

Bear

Or when you have to wait for the cookies to bake. [an animated oven appears] Mmm. I can taste them already. [he taps his lips and the oven disappears] Or when you have to wait till you're a little older to have your next birthday. Now that's something worth waiting for.

Bear

See. No matter who you are or what you want, sooner or later, we all just have to wait.

Telegraph for text!

Ah, text! I'll take that! [reads note] "Coming 'round the mountain next week. Sorry for the wait. Love, Mom."

I'll be doggone.

Guess we'll have to wait.

Yep.

Got any cards?

Bear

[the word "Morning" appears, along with the Sun disguised as the letter O] "Morning". Do you know what letter "Morning" starts with? That one right there? "M"? That's right. "Morning". The morning starts when the sun rises! [the animated sun moves away from him] And when you wake up rested after a good night's sleep. [an animated windowsill and bed appear, the crescent moon sinks and sun rises] And you stretch and go to the bathroom. [an animated toilet appears] Or your Mom and Dad might give you a diaper change. [the animated diaper from "When You've Got to Go!" appears also] And then you have breakfast. [an animated plate appears with pancakes, along with utensils] And get dressed and go do all the fun things that you wanna do. [animated clothes appear, forming a human making it look like it's walking]

Pip

Pop can't find my inner tube.

Pop

I'm tubeless, Bear. [gets sad]

Pip

There, there, little camper.

Pip

Pip found his tube!

Pop

[places the inner tube over his head] I'm tubular!

Bear

I get that.

Bye, Bear!

Bear

See you later! Have fun!

Bear

[hears no sound] Hey. [looks around in the entire kitchen] It's awfully quiet with everybody gone. I miss them already! [laughs]

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!

Tutter

Look at all the toys...and, and games... and-and books! What is this, Bear? Some kind of an amusement park? I thought we were coming to a doctor's office!

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.
