Sister BearIt's great that everybody likes and dislikes different things. It's all part of what makes each of us special.
Liking and disliking different things may be part of what makes everybody special, but it really makes it hard to figure out what to feed them at a party.
Scenes with Sister Bear 133
Goodbye! I'll see you tomorrow.
[Even though most of the students did great, there was one "F" and that was Brother. Teacher Bob glares at Brother. Then it cuts to Brother. That is, who looks guilty after failing the division quiz. Brother may have gotten every single problem wrong or cheated with another student's test.]
Uh oh! This can't be good!
I'm afraid it isn't, Brother.
[Teacher Bob then reveals the division quiz. There is a number "0" on the test. Teacher Bob wrote on the division quiz, VERY POOR! MUST BE SIGNED BY PARENT!. That is, and in other words, "Brother not only got every problem wrong or cheated. But he also got a great big '0'". In summary, "He --Brother-- not only got every problem wrong. But he also scored a perfect '0'". In the book, and echoing from it, the actual page reads, "The quiz was a disaster! Not only did Brother get every problem wrong! But Teacher Bob wrote on the paper 'VERY POOR! MUST BE SIGNED BY PARENT!'".]
ZERO??
[After Brother says this, Teacher Bob is concerned. He asks if Brother studied for the division quiz. That is, as he asks Brother...!]
Didn't you do the worksheets I sent home with Sister?
Well, I was pretty sick. [tries to talk in between coughs] It took a lot out of me of that flu bug.
Hmm?
But I think I'm going to be okay now. And I can't wait to get those worksheets done!
I'm glad to hear that.
Well... I guess I better catch the bus.
Oh, one more thing. Please have your parents sign that test and bring it back to me tomorrow.
Yes, sir.
[Brother looks at his test which was about division.]
Even the flu doesn't feel this bad.
How was your day at school?
We had a math test today, and...
[Sister starts sick coughing and sneezing.]
Sister BearI don't feel very well, Mama.
Oh, dear. [Sneezes]
Papa Bear I don't like the sound of that.
Mama Bear You're running a temperature.
Sister BearI think I caught Brother's cold.
Yes, that doesn't surprise me. [to Brother] And now, what were you saying, son?
Me? Oh, it was nothing really. Sister's more important right now. [to Sister] Here, Sister. Let me carry your stuff.
Sister BearThank you.
And I'll carry you.
I'll put on some chicken soup.
[Mama and Papa are unaware that Brother cheated or didn't pass his division quiz. And now, they're trying to take care of Sister.]
[The scene cuts to Gramps and Gran's dining room. Brother is at their table having milk and chocolate chip cookies.]
Dear me! This paper has more wrinkles than I do.
[Gran flattens out the division quiz --which Brother had made into a paper airplane-- and rolls it out with her rolling pin. That is, to get the wrinkles out of the quiz.]
Well? I guess that is about the best I can do.
It is way better than it did, [looks at the zero on his test.] but it still has a big fat zero on it.
[By that saying of Brother, the division test looks better than it did. That is, but it still has a great big "0".]
[Mama and Papa look at the division quiz. And they find a great big "0" on it.]
[shows the zero on his division test] I told you it was pretty bad.
Pretty bad? Can it get any worse than zero?
Well, it can get worse when you don't tell your parents and don't get on the school bus.
That's for sure.
[offscreen] You should have come to us right away.
I know, I'm sorry.
At least you're coming to us now.
I had no idea so many gooey gums can fit into one bag.
Well, this way I'll have enough to last a while.
A while? You'll have enough to last until next year.
Sister BearI don't want Dr. Bearson to yank my tooth out with his big yankers!
Mama Bear Big yankers? Who told you that? [angrily galres at Papa. Papa nods his head no as he didn't tell Sister about the dentist pulling out her teeth with yankers. Then they all turn to Brother.]
I was only kidding. I didn't think she'd believe me. [chuckles] Sorry, Sister.
Dr. Bearson isn't going to yank out your tooth with yankers. [to Sister] Your tooth will fall out on its own.
I bet that's a relief. Huh, Sister? Well, I'm going over to Freddy's for a while.
[stops him] Not so fast! Sister's loose tooth doesn't explain why you didn't want any oatmeal chewies.
Papa Bear Yes, you usually eat two or three at a time.
I had a little toothache, but it's feeling much... [his tooth starts to hurt.] better now. Ow!
How long have you had this toothache?
Since this morning when I was eating a gooey gum.
More gooey gums?
No wonder you have a toothache. They're so sweet that even your truly papa bear wouldn't eat one.
I better phone Dr. Bearson and make an appointment right away.
You'd better make sure you put your tooth under your pillow tonight.
Sister BearWhy?
Why? For the tooth fairy of course.
Sister BearNo way! This is my first tooth! I'm keeping it!
[Mama Brother and sister start laughing]
These quilts will look fabulous on my cub's bed. How much are you asking for them?
Woman 2 Excuse me! But I think I saw them first!
Sister BearNO! (YOU CAN'T BUY THESE QUILTS!) MAMA MADE THOSE FOR US! [Sister and Brother both hug the quilts]
I'm sorry. But these quilts aren't for sale. I'm just airing them out.
I've got a job! I'm going to start my own quilt-making business!
Huh??
Sister BearWhat's this?
Things we studied in mathematics. That's long division. It looks a lot harder than it is. It's nothing to worry about.
Sister BearNothing to worry about? It's just like Too-Tall said! It's too hard!
Oh dear, you've worked yourself into a tizzy!
Do you know what a synonym is?
[Sister mistakenly believes Brother and says "cinnamon"]
Sister BearUh-huh. It's my favorite spice. Like synonym toast and synonym buns...
[laughs] No, that's"cinnamon". I said "synonym". It's word that's spelled differently, but it means the same thing.
[chuckles] Too busy?
Sister BearI promised Brother I'd make a picture.
You can make me a picture at kindergarten, Sister. They've got lots of paint, crayons and every markers you can think of.
Sister BearBut I want to hear my storybooks!
They have lots of books at kindergarten, too. With stories you haven't heard before.
Sister BearI was going to build something with my Toy blocks.
They have enough blocks to build a Toy castle at kindergarten. That was one of Brother's things about school.
There's a tub of blocks bigger than you.
What do you say, Sister? Can you give kindergarten a try?
