Owl quotes from Little Bear

Owl

Did you hear that?

Hear what?

Owl

That laugh.

Our laugh?

Owl

No. The laugh of the laughing tree.

I've never heard of a laughing tree.

Owl

It's a tree that grabs you and tries to make you laugh by telling bad jokes. You have to make it laugh, or you'll never get away.

There's no such thing as a laughing tree.

[laughs] Who are you two walking in my woods? "Who"? An owl goes "who"? [laughs] Oh, I can't "bear" it! Get it? An owl and a bear? [laughs]

Owl

No.

The laughing tree.

Are you lost? We must get to the "root" of the problem! [laughs]

I always travel with a "trunk"! [laughs]

Owl

Leave us alone! Leave us alone! [gets an idea] Hey. Get it? "Leaf" us alone?

"Leaf" us alone. That's good! [laughs as Little Bear and Owl get away] I like it!

Cat

What's really scary is the big, black crow who lives in these woods.

The big, black crow?

Cat

Oh, yes. It's twice as big as any other crow.

That's not as scary as a goblin.

Cat

It as big as a tree.

Owl

As big as the laughing tree?

Cat

No, no, I mean bigger. It's so big, that it's bigger than a house.

Oh... That's big.

Goblins, laughing trees, and giant crows! What could be scarier, nobody knows!

The night is cold, the snow is new...

Mother loves the winter...

Father loves the winter...

Grandmother loves winter...

Grandfather Bear

Grandfather loves winter...

Granny

And I do, too!

Emily

And I do, too!

And I do, too!

Hen

And I do, too!

Cat

And I do, too.

Owl

And I do, too! Hoo!

Duck

[giggles] And me, too!

Owl

Duck! Wake up!

Duck

[wakes up with a squawk] What's wrong? What happened?

Owl

You're snoring.

Duck

[offended] I am not!

Owl

Well, you were.

Duck

Well, so were you!

Owl

I wish I was, but your snoring woke me up. [his eyes widen in shock] Where's Lucy?

Duck

Lucy?

Owl

Oh, no.

Duck

What?

Owl

You're sitting on Lucy!

Duck

[leaps up from the pile of leaves, squawking in shock] Where is she? Lucy? Lucy! [digs through the leaves] Lucy, where are you? [gasps when she sees Lucy]

Owl

See? You sat on her!

Duck? What's the matter?

Owl

It's Lucy. Duck sat on her.

Duck

I didn't even see her. Poor Lucy. Did I hurt you?

Owl

Is she moving?

Duck

No...

Emily

[picks up Lucy] Lucy, speak to me!

Owl

Is she saying anything?

Emily

No... [Duck gasps in horror] Oh, no, Lucy's dead! Poor, poor Lucy!

Duck

[sad] I squashed her.

Owl

[in disbelief] Dead? What do you mean, dead? Isn't she a doll?

Emily

She's just dead. That's all.

No Feet

Oh, no! I can't look!

Owl

Now, now, No Feet. You must remember that it's just a play. There's really nothing to worry ab-- OH, NO, IT'S EMILY!

Owl

Hey, no fair! Cat doesn't have all his feet in the sack!

Cat

Really, Owl! I was only going to use two of my legs for the race.

Owl

Well, good. There's no point in playing the game unless you play by the rules.

Mitzi

What do monsters eat?

Owl

Owls, bears, and monkeys.

Mitzi

Did you see how hungry he looked?

Owl

I had my eyes closed the whole time.

We've stopped.

Owl

I can see that.

I think we've hooked something very big.

Owl

As big as a whale?

Bigger.

Owl

I don't think there is anything bigger than a whale. I believe the whale is the biggest creature in the sea.

Uh, excuse me, Owl. There is one thing bigger.

Owl

And what is that, Little Bear?

[shocked] A SEA MONSTER!

Owl

I don't think Hen is feeling well.

Duck

Maybe she's sick.

Owl

Could be the chicken pox.

Duck

Is it over?

Owl

[sighs] I'm afraid the opera isn't over 'til the fat lady sings.

Mitzi

Hey, what's this?

That's a croquet set, Mitzi.

Mitzi

How do you play? Do I just hit the ball?

Owl

No. That's against the rules. You set the ball on the ground, and tap it with your mallet.

You have to take turns.

Owl

But the most important rule is we never, ever play in the--

Owl

...house.

Mitzi

You look funny.

Owl

[annoyed] Well, I don't feel funny.

Owl

Hello, Mother Bear.

Why, hello, Owl. My goodness, you're soaking wet!

Owl

Am I? Yes! Well, it is raining! So, Mother Bear, did I ever tell you about the time I tried to make ginger snaps?

I don't think so.

Owl

Oh, you'll love this. Unfortunately, I made a mistake, and used salt instead of sugar! [laughs] [...] So, I took a big bite out of a ginger snap, and... blah! [laughs] It was awful! [laughs] Really bad, 'cause... salt?
