Sister Bear quotes from The Berenstain Bears (2003)

Sister Bear

Why is exercising in gym so important anyway?

Exercise makes your muscles stronger. And stronger muscles can make you a better soccer player. That's what I want to be.

Remember the time I fell out of a tree and sprained my wrist, and my mom wrote me a note to excuse me from gym?

Sister Bear

I remember that. How come you get all the luck?

Teacher Bob

I found all the jobs you wrote about very interesting, Brother.

I had a hard time picking just one.

Teacher Bob

[reading Brother's report aloud] "There are many wonderful jobs and opportunities to choose from, and there's plenty of time for me to decide what I'd like to be when I grow up." Very thoughtful words indeed, Brother Bear.

Do you have any ideas on what you want to be when you grow up?

When I was younger, I wanted to be Superbear.

[chuckles] I don't think that counts.

You're probably right.

Sister Bear

Maybe you're just jealous, Lizzie Bruin, because I'm the best jump roper in Bear Country and you're not.

I am not Jealous.

Sister Bear

Are too jealous.

Gee, I wish I had a bad habit to break so I can earn some extra money.

Papa Bear

[laughing] Oh, go on.

Sister Bear

What is Papa doing?

Papa Bear

[to the Giant] Come on, buddy. Keep growing. You can do it. Think big.

Mama Bear

[laughs] Papa just read a book that says you can make plants grow faster by talking to them.

Sister Bear

Hmm. Was it a comic book?

Papa Bear

I heard that. Laugh if you want to, but I'll do whatever it takes to win.

I don't get it. Queenie pretends to be his friend, we're really trying to be his friends, and we're the ones he ignores.

How can somebody so smart be so dumb?

Sister Bear

Ferdy knows a lot of things, but I don't think he knows very much about friends.

Guess he'll just have to find out about Queenie the hard way.

Sister Bear

Widder Jones is really nice, isn't she?

And she's always doing things for everyone else.

Sister Bear

[to Brother] Are you doing anything important on Saturday?

Yeah, sort of. I'm helping out a neighbor at her yard sale.

Sister Bear

Me too.

Mama Bear

[to Widder Jones on the phone] I'm so pleased Brother and Sister were able to help you out. Uh-huh. Yes. I'll be sure to tell them. [The cubs open the door and come in] Oh, hold on. They just came in the door. Would you like to speak to one of them? Alright. [to the cubs] It's Widder Jones.

[to Sister] You talk to her.

Sister Bear

Huh? No way! I don't want to talk to her!

Papa Bear

[sternly] What's gotten into you two?

Mama Bear

Yes. Widder Jones thanks the world of you, cubs.

[sighs, takes the phone, and talks to Widder Jones] Hello. Oh, you're welcome. Next Saturday? Um... Well, actually, Sister and I were...

Mama Bear

Ahem.

Yes. We'll help you clean out your attic. [chuckles] Okay. Bye. [hangs up]

Sister Bear

[disappointed] Aw! I was going to play at Lizzy's on Saturday!

I told Lenny I'd come over and check out his new video game!

Papa Bear

Those things can always wait until another time.

Mama Bear

I'm sure Lenny and Lizzy will understand.

Papa Bear

You know, you two should be very proud of yourselves. Helping others is a tradition that Bear Country was built on.

Sister Bear

But we already helped out for a whole afternoon!

Come on, Sister, let's go do something fun before it gets dark.

"Mommy...? I can't eat any more of my sandwich! I'm stuffed!"

"I'm stuffed too!"

Sister

[as her doll's "mama"] I told you to not eat your cookies first.

Lizzy

Go Brenda go!

Sister Bear

Come on, Angela! You can do it!

Hi, Mrs Bearfoot. I'm fine, thanks. How are you?

Lizzy

Go, Brenda! You're almost there!

Uh-huh. Just a minute, Mrs Bearfoot. Lizzy, can you and Sister do something quiet while i'm on the phone, please?

Lizzy

Okay, Brenda it's time for you and Angela to have your afternoon naps.

Sister Bear

Yes, it's naptime girls.

Lizzy

No monkey business you two.

We'll be listening.

Sister Bear

[Brother accidentally knocks over Sister's glass of milk.] Brother, look what you did!

Sorry.

Sister Bear

You're such a furball!

Sister Bear

What? Did I say something wrong?

Papa Bear

[scolds Sister] You certainly did, young lady! That's a terrible thing to call someone!

Mama Bear

Wherever did you hear language like that?

Sister Bear

On a video.

Mama Bear

What sort of video?

Sister Bear

"Trouble at Big Bear High".

[Chuckles] "Trouble at Big Bear High"? That video's not for little cubs.

Mama Bear

If it has that kind of talk in it, I don't think it's for big cubs either.

Sister Bear

Lizzy's older brother rented it. I didn't know.

Papa Bear

I know you didn't know, (and neither did Lizzy,) but now you do.

Mama Bear

You can really hurt someone's feelings with that word. But the important thing is, we caught it in time, before you said it to someone else.

Uh-oh, I think she said it to someone else.

Mama Bear

Oh, Sister!

Sister Bear

Mama, I need to go see Lizzy right away.

Mama Bear

Hurry along, then.

And I thought I did dumb things sometimes. [pours too much ketchup on his beet greens] Oops.

Sister Bear

Lizzy! You know that word we've been saying? It's a bad word.

Lizzy

Now you tell me. I called my brother a you-know-what, right in front of my mom!

Sister Bear

Oh, no!

Lizzy

Oh, yes! I didn't know it was a bad word. Boy, did I ever get a talking to? (Sighs) I wish we'd never watched that video!

Sister Bear

Me too! No wonder Stacy and Millie didn't want to play with us.

Lizzy

I forgot all about Stacy and Millie. I wonder what they think of us? Now what do we do?

Sister Bear

We tell them we're sorry! Come on!

Sister Bear

Saying words that hurt other people's feelings doesn't sound too grown-up to me.

Mama Bear

You're right. Our language has so many words to choose from.

Mama Bear

What are you cubs doing?

Sister Bear

[sighs] Nothing.

There's nothing to do.

Mama Bear

Nothing to do? Everybody else seems to be able to find something to do.
