[Pip and Pop were eating the batter in a bowl to test it's good]
Guys? Um, guys? Oh, come on, guys! I can't see what I'm stirring!
PPPip and Pop
Sorry, Tutter.
But we just wanted to taste one more time…
Oh… [sees the batter is gone] Hey. Hey! Where'd all the batter go?!
PPPip and Pop
Don't look at us. [look away from Tutter, who looks at the camera in confusion]
[Ojo and Treelo are making the present with popsicle sticks and glue]
Oh, there, Treelo. That looks great. Bear's sure gonna love this present. [laughs]
Oh, yeah, Treelo. We'll give Bear a big hug, too. A bear hug. [laughs] Tutter, how's the cake coming?
Huh? Oh, well, it was petty good, Ojo. Ha. Pretty good. But Pip and Pop KEEP PUTTING THEIR HEADS IN THE BOWL!!!
And now I've got to start all over.
Yeah. Besides, we have nothing to do.
Yeah. How are we supposed to decorate the living room with Bear resting in there?
PPPip and Pop
It would ruin the surprise.
Oh. Uh, they've got a point, Ojo. How will they gonna decorate the living room with all the party decorations if that big old bear is sleeping in there?
[gasps] Oh! Cha-cha-cha! Cha-cha-cha!
Oh, Treelo, we haven't got time for dancing right now. [Tutter nods] We've got to get ready for Bear's big birthday party.
[grunts] No. Bear cha-cha-cha. Bear cha-cha-cha.
Treelo, look, we don't care if it's the porcupine cha-cha-cha! We still haven't got time to go dancing around and…
Oh, oh, oh! Hey! Yeah! Yeah, yeah! The cha-cha-cha! Treelo's got a great idea about how to get Bear out of the living room. Now, everybody listen up. This is what we're gonna do, okay? Okay? All right, Treelo…
[After the cha-cha-cha]
[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.
[In the kitchen, Ojo looks at Treelo and Tutter]
[to Tutter and Treelo] How's it going, you guys?
[The camera moves to Treelo and Tutter]
[with two popsicle sticks glued to his fingers] A little bit stuck to me again. Oh, oh. Uh… [to Ojo] Treelo almost done.
[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!
[The camera moves back to Ojo]
[The camera moves to the couch, then moves to Pip and Pop by the wall covered in streamers]
Oh, there you are. How's it going?
Oh. Oh, well, we had a little bit of difficulty with the, uh… uh, the crepe paper.
PPPip and Pop
It's going, um… real good.
[The camera moves back to Ojo]
Uh… oh. okay. Well, could you just hurry up a little, okay?
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?
[gasps] Bear! [looks around]
Uh, uh, uh, uh… [yells out to her friends] Hello, Bear. [Tutter, Treelo, Pip and Pop appear]
Uh… Bear! What are you doing, uh, doing here? Uh, I mean, right now. I mean, now.
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]
No, no, no, Bear. Not even a whole mess of them! [to the viewers] Whatever that is.
Why not? Why not, indeed? Well because we have to, uh… Uh, we have to…
We have to, uh… take a bath. [nods] Yeah.
Okay, okay. If you guys really want to take a bath…
Then everybody into the tub.
[After having a bath]
[to the viewer] Bear's going to be done drying his fur any minute. Are you guys finished yet?
Look. I am. Treelo finish.
Ojo Oh. Nice wrapping. Great. Um, Tutter, Pip, Pop. How are the decorations and the cake coming?
Uh… W-well, the cake is at a very delicate point, Ojo. A-a very delicate point.
PPPip and Pop
We need lots more decorations.
[offscreen] Hey, everybody!
Who wants a mess of cooked and buttered string beans?
[All of the kids run around, but Ojo kept blocking the others for a place to hide. They ran away except Ojo]
Hello? Everybody? I'll be right down.

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 walks downstairs. The lights in the living room were off.]
Hello? Hello? Gee, I wonder where everybody went.
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?
Okay, everybody hide. Hide, hide. Hide, hide.

Hi, Tutter. How's the mouseapult working?
This is it, Bear. This is it. [gasps] History in the making. And you are there! [laughing]
You know, Tutter. This is very exciting.
Oh! Um, uh… Actually, Bear, uh, could you spare a moment or two to, uh, help a mouse?
Well, sure, Tutter. What can I do?
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]
Oh, of course, Bear. I'll be careful.
Set. Let'er rip, Bear. Let'er rip.
[Bear drops the wedge of brie, which triggers the mouseapult, sending Tutter flying. He shouts excitedly and lands in the rice can]
[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…
Tutter, Tutter, Tutter, it's okay. It's okay. It's me. Bear.
B-Bear? Wh… How did you get up here in outer space? Wow! That mouseapult works a lot better than I thought, huh?
You landed in the rice can.
Huh? The rice can? [looks at it] Oh! [laughing] The rice can. I'm in the rice can, Bear.
[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.

Okay, you two. Now back to work.
[they sigh and they hum the first verse they sung earlier]
Well, when it's raining and thundering and lightning, it's just safer to go inside the house.
But Bear, we don't want to go in.
We worked so hard cleaning up the pond.
Now we want to swim in it! [lightning flashes]
Okay, that's it. Sorry, guys. Come on, come on.
