Scenes with Sister Bear 133
[Too-Tall the bully. And his two friends Smirk and Skuzz had stolen Sister's jump rope-- is jumping with Sister's jump rope. That is, until Brother showed up.]
Tell you what, Brother! You want it back? Come and get it!
BBBrother Bear
All right! I'll do that!
[Brother attempts to cross the log bridge over a stream.]
[to Brother about his attempts to cross the log bridge over the stream] ONE FALSE MOVE AND YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A CHILLY SWIM!
[As Skuzz says this, he says it as if to mean he wouldn't care if Brother had a "chilly swim", caught a cold from it, and got called out sick so he wouldn't have to go to school. All he does care is that he knows Brother might not make it across the log bridge to retrieve Sister's jump rope from Too-Tall.]
Look, guys! I think he's chicken!
[Smirk and Skuzz chickens clucking.]
BBBrother Bear
I AM NOT CHICKEN!
Then we dare you to cross!
BBBrother Bear
You're on!
[The scene cuts to Brother, Too-Tall, Smirk and Skuzz at a field of sheep.]
Get ready, Brother. We're going to take a little shortcut across this field.
BBBrother Bear
What's so fun about that?
[Trios laughs.]
There's a ram in the flock with a bad temper.
They don't call him Bruiser for nothing.
BBBrother Bear
[chuckles] Maybe I'll take the long way around.
That's the chicken route.
[Smirk and Skuzz chickens clucking]
BBBrother Bear
I told you. I'm not chicken!
Then we dare you to take the shortcut!
BBBrother Bear
Alright! I'll go!
That's what we like to hear!
[Farmer Ben --unnoticed at first-- uses himself like a scarecrow. Brother Bear and the big cubs --Too-Tall, Smirk, and Skuzz-- think he's a scarecrow --and that there's a real scarecrow in the watermelon patch-- in the spite of that. That is, although they fail to notice him. He uses himself as a scarecrow --having his eyes shut, arms spread out, feet together, and his face like a scarecrow's face-- in the middle of the watermelon patch. That is, as if there really is a scarecrow in his patch. So Farmer Ben --striking the pose-- pretends to be a scarecrow. Brother --after picking out the biggest and greenest skinned watermelon-- gets the melon off the vine, breaks the stem off of it, and picks it up. But when he picks up the melon, Farmer Ben moves a little by smiling. Then he opens his eyes, makes his mouth into an "O" shape, and --offscreen-- undoes his scarecrow pose. Then he --as if returning back to his normal self-- runs up to Brother and catches him.]
[Brother Bear tries to run away --only to be tightly grabbed by Farmer Ben.]
BBBrother Bear
HELP! LET ME GO!
[The scene cuts to Too-Tall the bully. And his two friends --Smirk and Skuzz. When they see that Brother is caught by Farmer Ben, they run away.]
[Too-Tall the bully. And his two friends run away screaming. Farmer Ben does not notice Too-Tall the bully. And his two friends --Smirk and Skuzz-- but he talks to Brother about the dee-double dare incident. And he --Farmer Ben-- is unaware that Too-Tall, Smirk, and Skuzz are invading his melon patch again.]
BROTHER BEAR! WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING STEALING WATERMELONS WITH TOO-TALL AND HIS NO GOOD GANG?!
[As Farmer Ben says this, he wants to know what in the Earth Brother Bear --stealing Too-Tall-- is doing with that watermelon.]
BBBrother Bear
First they dared me, then they double dared me, AND FINALLY, THEY DEE DOUBLE DARED ME!
That dee double dare is so hard to resist.
BBBrother Bear
I wanted to walk away. But then they called me chicken! I'm sorry, Farmer Ben.
Well, it's okay, Brother. It's not your fault. I'm not going to call in and tell your parents about this one watermelon stealing mistake.
[Brother comes back to Too-Tall, Smirk, and Skuzz with a watermelon slice that Farmer Ben gave him.]
Brother?! You got away with it! And you got the watermelon.
Come on, we're going to have more fun at the Widder Jones' house.
[Too-tall and his gang he stops walking] Oh, really? well, I dare you to come with us.
BBBrother Bear
Not this time.
Okay, then, I double dare you.
BBBrother Bear
Nope. Not interested.
What the matter? Chicken?
[Smirk and Skuzz chickens clucking.]
BBBrother Bear
I'm not chicken, and I'm not a sheep either.
Okay Brother...! I DEE DOUBLE DARE YOU TO COME WITH US TO THE WIDDER JONES'S HOUSE!
BBBrother Bear
That stuff may have worked before, but it won't now!
[But Brother --considering the consequences if he goes-- says "No". That is, after he says this. In the spite of that, he heads back to the house.]
BBBrother Bear
See you later. I'm going home.
LLenny
Wouldn't it be funny if Sister made the team and you didn't?
[Brother falls into a pond. Sister Lenny and Lizzy rush over to him]
Sister BearAre you okay, Brother?
LLenny
Smooth move, Brother!
BBBrother Bear
I won't have to worry about ponds, chickens, and baseball-eating goats when I make the Cardinals!
LLenny
You mean if you make the Cardinals.
BBBrother Bear
Why did Sister sign up for baseball tryouts anyway? Why couldn't she be good at something else? Baseball's my game, not hers.
Sister Bear
Hey! I thought you couldn't lift your arm!
BBBrother Bear
Huh? Oh no. It's my left arm that hurts.
Sister Bear
No, it isn't.
BBBrother Bear
Yes, it is. I should know it's my arm.
Sister Bear
I'm going to ask Mama. She'll remember.
BBBrother Bear
Wait, wait. [sighs] Okay, I was faking.
Sister Bear
You were? Why?
BBBrother Bear
If you really want to know, it's because i'm afraid you're going to make the team and not me.
Sister Bear
Do you really think I'm that good?
BBBrother Bear
You really improved this season.
Listen to yourselves. All you can do is complain about what you don't have.
What about being thankful for all the things you do have?
It's called counting your blessings.
Sister Bear
Blessings?
BBBrother Bear
Like what?
[The girls make it up by cleaning the living room. Sister, Lizzy, and the other girls make it up. As for Too-Tall, Smirk and Skuzz, they were grounded by their parents. And they were forced to stay in their rooms for one day and in their treehouses until next Monday. They could only leave their houses to go to school and see their friends during school hours. Sister still makes up for it. In the meantime, Mr. and Mrs. Bruin call Sister and the other girls's parents for a clean-up after they caused the vandalism in their living room from the sleepover. Now the scene cuts to Sister, Lizzy and the other girls who are cleaning up Mr. and Mrs. Bruin's vandalized living room. Sister still makes up for it, even though she was still grounded in the house for the remainder of the week. That is, as well as Lizzy, the other girls, and Too-Tall, Smirk and Skuzz. Sister, she manages to help Lizzy and the other girls clean up. That is, despite the fact she was still grounded for the remainder of the week.]
QQueenie
This was a good idea for us all to come over and help clean up, Sister.
Hey, I know! Everyone's doing such a good job, we should make this a clean up party!
Sister Bear
Let's not, Lizzy. If you don't mind, I rather not hear the word "party" again for a long time.
Well, you might ask Teacher Bob to give you a catch-up period. I think he should go along with that. He's a pretty good guy.
BBBrother Bear
That's a good idea! But the first thing. I have to do is go home and get some of it done today.
BBBrother Bear
If Papa can do it. Then so can I.
FFuzzy
[imitating a groundhog] Well?
BBBrother Bear
Oh, yeah, groundhog, right.
FFuzzy
Wait, wait, wait! How about this? [imitates a pig]
BBBrother Bear
Uh, groundhog?
BBBrother Bear
Ah, great, Fuzzy. What other animal impressions can you do?
FFuzzy
[gasps] That's it.
BBBrother Bear
How about a cow, or maybe a horse, or...
FFuzzy
Nope, just groundhog and pig. Pickle?
BBBrother Bear
Uh, no thanks. I'll get back to you, Fuzzy.
BBBrother Bear
[to Too-Tall] You want to be in the talent show?
Does having the hairiest knuckles count as a talent?
BBBrother Bear
Hey! there's something outside!
[They all look outside the window]
BBBrother Bear
Really, something was there! I saw it! It was glowing.
[laughs] My guess would be it was your glowing imagination.
Sister Bear
This looks like a job for...
BBBrother Bear and Sister Bear
The Bear Detectives.
Maybe you can make a movie about Brother.
Sister Bear
What's so special about him? He's just a brother.
Sister Bear
Mama, I have to do a project for school about a member of my family. I was thinking about making a movie about you or Papa.
A movie, huh? That sounds like fun. But we are sort of busy.
There's a lot to do before Brother's party tomorrow. Why don't you make your movie about him?
Sister Bear
Brother?
BBBrother Bear
Did somebody call me?
BBBrother Bear
Aw! I'm going to Cousin Fred's! See you later!
No skateboarding in the house! And be home for dinner!
Sister Bear
There's nothing special about him. He's just my brother.
