Cat quotes from Little Bear

It's birthday soup.

Cat

Is it chicken soup? [Hen clucks in shock] I like chicken soup.

No.

Cat

Is it duck soup? [Duck quacks in shock] Duck soup will do.

No. It's just birthday soup.

Cat

What's the matter with you?

I have the flu.

Cat

Oh, that's too bad. You should roll in some catnip. That always makes me feel better.

I don't think so.

Cat

It was a good idea.

Owl

Some idea.

Hen

Well, Owl, your idea didn't work too well.

Owl

Cat's idea didn't help either.

Cat

Excuse me, but I read about that technique in a very famous book.

Owl

What book? [Father Bear looks down from his newspaper, annoyed] I've read every book in the library.

Cat

Oh, please. You think you know everything.

Duck

I can read!

Enough! How can I read with all this noise?

They're called maracas.

Duck

Oh, how wonderful!

Father Bear found them across the ocean, a long time ago.

Duck

[amazed] Oh!

A long, long time. Even before we were born.

Duck

Before we were born?

Way back, when there were pirates.

Duck

Pirates? Really? Oh, my!

Mother Bear said they were sentimental, and you know what that means.

Duck

I do?

Duck

No, I don't.

[beat] Treasure.

Hen

[clucks with surprise] Pirates? Oh, no! Are you sure?

Duck

Yes, I'm sure! That's what Little Bear said! He said they were pirates! They came from Morocco! They were sandy and mental.

Hen

Sandy and mental? The pirates?

Duck

Yes, yes, the pirates! And Father Bear took their treasure. The pirates stole it and Father Bear stole it back!

Owl

Father Bear stole them from pirates?!

Hen

What else could he do?

Owl

Did he use a sword or a saber?

Hen

Sword or a saber? Sword or a saber? How would I know?

Owl

Maybe both?

Hen

Both? Both! Must've been both. Of course! Both! But I bet those pirates are mad.

Owl

Uh-oh...

Cat

A sword and a saber? How many pirates did Father Bear fight?

Owl

A dozen, at least.

Cat

[unimpressed] A dozen?

Owl

Maybe a hundred.

Owl

But Father Bear won. He won the treasure. Those pirates are bound to come back.

Cat

Do you really think so?

Owl

Oh, yes! They were mad!

Cat

What should we do?

Hen

Aren't we supposed to say something to make us smile?

Owl

Yes, that's right. On the count of three, we all say... um... "cheese".

Duck

What kind of cheese?

Owl

Any kind of cheese. Mozzarella, meunster, provolone...

Cat

[groans impatient] JUST SAY ANYTHING!

Hen

[offended] Well!

Okay. Now... one... two... three!

Cheese!

Owl

Mozzarella!

Duck

Anything!

Emily

What's the matter, Cat?

Cat

I don't do mudslides.

Duck

He can't swim.

Cat

I can too.

Owl

Look! Cat can swim!

Cat

Let's go again.

Our hopes are for Princess Sadawa. She worries about the corn. Corn is food for us all.

Corn is food for us all!

We'd be so thankful for the rain, if you have some to spare.

If you have some to spare!

Dear clouds, what can we do to please you?

What can we do?!

What can we do to please you?

Hen

Cat, it's your one big line! What can we do?

Cat

Somersaults! [everyone exclaims in confusion] Backflips!

[in disbelief] Backflips?

Cat

Stand on your heads!

Hen

Oh, Cat, cut it out! You're supposed to say "dance"!

Owl

It's a rain dance play!

Duck

[to the audience] He's supposed to say "dance".

Cat

Did someone say "dance"? You want to dance? So dance.

Hen

Get down from there, silly!

Please send rain! In buckets, if you like!

Hen

Hurry up, Cat! In buckets!

Cat

Okay, okay.

Duck

Wow, Cat! That was a big bucket!

Emily

No, wait! It's raining!

It's really raining!

Duck

It's raining!

Owl

It's pouring!

The old bear is snoring! He rubbed his shoulder on a great big boulder and wouldn't get up in the morning!

Bravo, bravo!

Encore, encore!

Emily

Little Bear, do you think we really made it rain?

I don't know... But I know I'm getting soaked.

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!

Who's up there, stomping on my bridge?

Cat

It's me, Cat. And what do you think of that?

What I'm thinking about is roast cat.

Cat

And I'm thinking about scratched troll. [hisses]

Uh-oh. I don't think I like roast cat.

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.
