Scenes with Sister Bear 133
Sister BearIs it all right if I sit here?
[When they get to school]
HBMiss Honey Bear
Welcome to Bear Country School. My name is Miss Honey Bear, and I'm your new kindergarten teacher! Would you like to come inside and meet your new classmates?
[When it's time for recess, all the cubs go out to play. Mama Bear comes to school to see how Sister is doing. The cubs who are heading out to recess bump into Mama.]
Sister Bear
[realizes] Mama, why are you here?
Oh, I just thought I would stop by to see how you were doing.
Sister Bear
I'm having fun! Brother was right, they do have lots of paint colors, more than a hundred!
[chuckles] Is that right?
Sister Bear
And they do have a big tub of blocks, just like Papa said. Lizzy and I built a giant castle!
Sister Bear
Uh-huh, she's my new friend.
[shakes hands with Lizzy] Pleased to meet you, Lizzy.
And what do you do at recess?
Sister Bear
[to Lizzy] Do you know?
[chuckles] I'll help you get started! Come on over to the swings and I'll push you.
Sister Bear
Okay!
[The flashback ends]
Sister Bear
Suitcases?
So our reservations for Grizzly Mountain Lodge are all set? Thank you so much, see you soon.
BBBrother Bear
Reservations?
Well, actually, it's a second honeymoon.
BBBrother Bear
Still sounds like fun.
Sister Bear
Mmmm! Especially the honey part.
I haven't seen these in ages. I wonder if my serve is still... [falls to the ground] Ow!
BBBrother Bear
Papa, are you okay?
Sister Bear
Maybe you should just let Brother and me play tennis on the honeymoon.
BBBrother Bear
You and Mama can keep score.
Sorry, sweeties, but honeymoons aren't for cubs. Honeymoons are special trips that couples go on after they get married. It's an old tradition.
Grizzly Mountain Lodge is where Mama and I went on our first honeymoon.
BBBrother Bear
But what about us?
Well, you're going on a special trip of your own.
BBBrother Bear
[gasps] Is it Grizzly World?
Sister Bear
Is it Honeycomb Amusement Park?
You're going to Grandma's.
BBBrother Bear
That should do it. Board games, books, my yo-yo. I wonder if I should bring my chemistry set.
Sister Bear
I'm bringing puzzles, coloring books and teddy bear.
Beep beep. Coming through! Hey, what's all this doing out here?
BBBrother Bear
Well, we are going to Gran's for a whole week. We need to keep busy.
[chuckles] Come on, now. You always have fun at Gran's house without all this stuff!
BBBrother Bear
When we go for one afternoon, maybe. [whispers to Mama Bear] and Gran and Gramps are old.
Sister Bear
Maybe they'll want to take naps all day.
[Papa closes the trunk of the car]
Sister Bear
Papa, what about our toys?
You won't need all those. You're going to have too much fun with Gran and Gramps. I wonder if the lodge still has canoe rides on the lake.
And live music in the dance hall.
BBBrother Bear
Now for my favorite part of lunch. Dessert.
Sister Bear
Oh no! Gran forgot the honey for the honey buns!
No, she didn't. Gran makes the buns, And I make the honey, with some help of course.
BBBrother Bear
Watch it, Gramps! They'll sting you!
I do this all the time. First, you smoke the bees out to calm them down, then you gently pry the hive open, loosen up a frame and pull out the honeycomb.
BBBrother Bear
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Sister Bear
A horse?
[Brother and Sister gallop likes horses]
BBBrother Bear
We can ride it to school!
[slows them down] Whoa! Nobody said anything about a horse.
A horse would need a fenced corral with lots of room to run. Our yard's just too small.
And do you know how much a horse eats? More oats than I can afford!
Sister Bear
I want a pet that's warm and cuddly.
BBBrother Bear
If you want something warm and cuddly, you should just get your old blanket.
Sister Bear
Well, if you want a pet that's cold and slimy, you should get some slime!
[walking to them] What's all the commotion about?
BBBrother Bear
[waking to Papa and Sister] None of the pets that Sister wants are any fun!
Sister Bear
All the pets that Brother wants are too weird!
BBBrother Bear
They are not!
Sister Bear
ARE TOO!
Now settle down. We'll go to the pet store. Maybe they'll have something you can both agree on.
BBBrother Bear
The pet store? Okay.
[The scene dissolves to Mama Papa Sister and Brother in the family car on the way to the pet store]
BBBrother Bear
Nothing that eats bugs.
Sister Bear
[laughs] Or smells bad.
BBBrother Bear
Hey! [sees Farmer Ben running around.] What's Farmer Ben doing?
It looks like his chickens are on the loose. Let's give him a hand.
[Papa parks the car so they can see what Farmer Ben is doing]
Come back here! Uh... Heal! Oh boy. Sit!
Sister Bear
Sit?
Farmer Ben must be trying to train his chickens.
[A litter of puppies race towards Brother and Sister]
Sister Bear
Aw! They're so cute!
These pups are getting to be quite a handful. I'm going to have to put an ad on the paper to see if I can find them good homes.
BBBrother Bear
Can we have one? Please?
Sister Bear
What do we have to think about?
Well, for one thing, there are the vet bills to consider.
Not to mention dog tags and licenses. All of that costs money.
BBBrother Bear
[hands Mama the puppy] We can save up our allowance money to help pay for it.
[the puppy licks Mama] Oh my. It is kind of cute.
Sister Bear
Yay! We're getting a puppy!
BBBrother Bear
Let's call him Prince.
[chuckles] That's a fine name for a boy dog, but I'm afraid the one you're holding is a little lady.
Sister Bear
Maybe that's what we should call her, Little Lady.
BBBrother Bear
Wait until you see your new home! You're really going to like it!
Sister Bear
What are you doing here?
BBBrother Bear
What am I doing here? What are you doing here? You're supposed to be looking after Lady.
Sister Bear
No I'm not! I won the coin toss, remember?
BBBrother Bear
That was for cleaning up her accident.
Sister Bear
It was for cleaning up her accident and looking after her!
BBBrother Bear
No it wasn't.
Sister Bear
Yes it was!
BBBrother Bear
Well, if we aren't looking after her, who is?
[Little Lady has made a mess in the living room. She's pulling one of her toys from underneath a flower vase. The cubs run home and say...!]
Sister Bear
No, Lady!
[The flower vase falls on the ground and breaks. The cubs look at the mess Little Lady made.]
BBBrother Bear
This isn't good!
[Mama and Papa return home]
[Mama and Papa also look at the mess Little Lady made.]
[The scene cuts to outside where it's raining outside. Little Lady is sent to her doghouse as punishment for wrecking the living room.]
BBBrother Bear
Maybe we should have asked for a goldfish instead. At least we wouldn't have gotten it into so much trouble.
Sister Bear
It's not fair to Little Lady. We should be the ones out in the doghouse.
[Mama and Papa are in the kitchen. Papa is fixing the broken flower vase, and Mama is sewing up a ripped pillow.]
This vase is in more pieces than a jigsaw puzzle.
What could have gotten Little Lady into doing such a thing?
BBBrother Bear
We know what got into her.
BBBrother Bear
We weren't exactly looking after her when she got into trouble.
You weren't looking after her?
Sister Bear
She didn't get outside for any exercise all afternoon. Not even a walk.
BBBrother Bear
That's why she wrecked the living room. She was just trying to have some fun.
[offscreen] Looking after a puppy is a round-the-clock job.
It isn't something you can just put off until later when it's more convenient.
BBBrother Bear
We're sorry
Sister Bear
I guess we aren't very good puppy owners.
[offscreen] Maybe you can make it up to her.
How about giving her a snack when you bring her back in.
Sister Bear
We can bring her back in the house?
BBBrother Bear
You mean it?
After hearing what really happened, I think she deserves another chance.
BBBrother Bear
Come on, Sister! Let's go tell her the good news!
What's this? A lovely lady dining alone? May I join you for lunch, Mrs. Bear?
Be my guest. [Papa kisses her] The cubs aren't interested.
Eating in front of that television. It used to be a treat, but now they do it every day.
BBBrother Bear
[offscreen] Give it to me!
Sister Bear
[offscreen] No way! It's my turn to choose!
[The scene cuts to the cubs in the living room, and they're fighting about what TV shows they should watch.]
Sister Bear
WE'RE NOT WATCHING "BEAR WRESTLING"!
BBBrother Bear
THERE'S NO WAY I'M WATCHING "LITTLE TREEHOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE"!
[offscreen] OKAY, THAT'S IT!
[Brother and Sister jump from their fighting, drop the TV remote and the TV remote flies out of their hands.]
[catches the TV remote] NO MORE TV FOR A WEEK!
[Mama turns off the TV with the remote.]
Sister Bear
But, Mama!
Sister Bear
Papa, Mama told us we can't watch TV for a whole week!
Your Mama's got a point. You two cubs have been watching far too much television lately. Now, if you don't mind, I'm just going to catch some of the hockey playoffs. [Mama takes the TV remote from Papa.] Huh?
[to Papa] You too, Papa! [then to the rest of her family] For once, the whole family is going to be TV-free!
Sister Bear
I think we should end the TV-ban on account of bad weather.
Rain or no rain. No TV for a week means no TV for a week.
BBBrother Bear
What are we supposed to do for fun?
How about cracking open a good book?
BBBrother Bear
Okay. [grabs a television guide]
That's the television guide.
BBBrother Bear
But it's still reading. [looks at the television guide] Oh, guess what movie is on TV tonight!
Sister Bear
What?
BBBrother Bear
Honey, I shrunk the cubs!
Sister Bear
That's a classic! [to Mama] Mama, you have to let us watch that!
I'm sorry, Brother and Sister, but the only way to break the "TV-watching-habit" is to keep the TV off.
BBBrother Bear
We'll go here, and here.
Sister Bear
Don't forget this house. They always give out Crispy Squares.
BBBrother Bear
Mm-mmm, love those Crispy Squares.
BBBrother Bear
It's a trick-or-treat map.
Sister Bear
We're figuring out which houses to visit tonight.
BBBrother Bear
We're going to Farmer Ben's house and then Mrs. Grizzle's; she usually makes special Halloween cookies.
Sister Bear
And then Teacher Jane's. She gives out good stuff.
BBBrother Bear
And we'll go to Dr. Grizzly's house, even though she gives out healthy snacks.
Sister Bear
Just to be polite.
Sister Bear
And then Gramps and Gran. They always have lots of candy for us.
Hmm, it looks like you missed Widder Jones' house.
BBBrother Bear
Oh, we did that on purpose.
BBBrother Bear
[to Mama; talking about Widder Jones] Because she's a witch!
Oh, nonsense! She's very sweet and kindhearted.
BBBrother Bear
[confused] Mama, I'm talking about the Widder Jones who lives on Crooked Lane. That Widder Jones.
Yes, I know who you mean. We take a quilting class together. She's very friendly and helpful.
BBBrother Bear
[whispering to Sister Bear] Until she turns you into a statue.
In fact, I saw her at the market today. She's preparing a very special treat for all the trick-or-treaters. And when you get home, I want to hear that you've paid Widder Jones a visit. Remember not to judge someone by their appearance.
Sister Bear
So are we going there?
BBBrother Bear
I guess so. You knock, and I'll wait by the road.
Sister Bear
[offscreen] No way!
Sister Bear
Mama wouldn't be friends with a witch now, would she?
BBBrother Bear
Hmm, I suppose you're right.
BBBrother Bear
It’s Too Tall and his boys! They’re not here for the Treats, just the tricks!
WJWidder Jones
I understand perfectly! And I am more than happy to oblige. Watch this!
[Widder Jones pulls a rope, Too-Tall, Smirk and Skuzz pop out of a bush and Vampire bats swarm them.]
Watch out! Vampire bats! They’re after us!
Aah! They’re gonna get us!
BBBrother Bear
Wow! That’ll teach them!
But, they’re still coming back!
WJWidder Jones
Maybe they wants some more tricks!
[Widder Jones pulls another rope, Too-Tall and his gang pop out from behind a tree, as ghosts appear.]
TTToo-Tall and his Gang
Ghosts! [screaming].
WJWidder Jones
So, Brother. How would you like to play the final trick!
WJWidder Jones
Just turn this on and watch the fun!
BBrother
5, 4, 3, 2, 1! [Flicks a switch]
This isn't much fun as I thought it would be!
[Suddenly, skeletons appear out of nowhere.]
TTToo-Tall and his Gang
[screaming].
Let’s get out of here! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES. Let's go home. Mommy Daddy?
BBBrother Bear
I guess I've been too busy.
Sister Bear
Brother, Brother!
BBBrother Bear
What's the matter, Sister?
Sister Bear
Too-Tall and his gang, took my jump rope! I tried to get it back. But they wouldn't give it to me!
BBBrother Bear
THREE AGAINST ONE! AND YOU'RE HALF THEIR SIZE! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!
Sister Bear
You think you can get it back for me?
[Brother --angrily-- runs off to the park to find the too-tall the bully. And two friends Smirk and Skuzz.]
BBBrother Bear
[about the bully] JUST TRY AND STOP ME! (AND THEY BETTER GIVE IT BACK OR ELSE!)
[He goes off --snarling to himself-- after saying this. And he threatens that he's going to let Too-Tall, Smirk, and Skuzz have it if they don't give Sister back her jump rope. In fact, he thinks about letting Too-Tall the bully. And-his two friends Smirk and Skuzz-- have it right now.]
