Sister Bear quotes from The Berenstain Bears (2003)

Mama Bear

When we do the work together, it makes a big job smaller.

Sister Bear

And easier.

Mama Bear

Uh-huh.

And more fun.

That's another environment problem in Bear Country. [sees a piece of wood from a bumbleberry tree] And so is this. A sample to add to my endangered and extinct species display. [picks up the piece of wood from a bumbleberry tree]

But I thought endangered species were just animals, Professor.

Well, animals, plants, and even trees can become extinct or endangered.

Sister Bear

Would you like to double-dutch with us, Hillary?

[Chuckles] You're kidding, right? Jumping rope's for little cubs. [Hillary gives Sister a thumbs down as she does not want to jump rope] But then looking at that pink ruffled jumper and that hair bow, I guess you are a little cub.

Papa Bear

Take that!

En Garde!

Papa Bear

Touché!

Mama Bear

[Laughing] Now, boys.

Sorry, Mama. But your honey-glazed carrots are so good.

Papa Bear

Hey! What about my turkey loaf? I thought that was pretty good too.

Best in Bear Country Papa.

Papa Bear

Too bad Sister doesn't think so.

Mama Bear

Not hungry tonight, Sister?

Sister Bear

Not really.

Mama Bear

Is something wrong, sweetie?

Sister Bear

Well, Hillary made fun of my clothes, my name, and said jumping rope is for little cubs!

Mama Bear

Who's Hillary?

Sister Bear

A new girl at school. She wears cool clothes, a headband, and listens to cool music on a boom box. She even has hoop earrings. Mama, do you think jumping rope is just for little cubs?

Mama Bear

No, I don't. But more important then what I or Hillary or anybody else thinks is what you think. Do you think jumping rope is just for little cubs?

Sister Bear

No.

Mama Bear

Then that's all that matters. Just be yourself and others will accept you for who you are.

Sister Bear

Thanks, Mama.

Mama Bear

We have some work to do.

Work? But I thought this was supposed to be a vacation.

Sister Bear

Brother right. It's not fair!

Papa Bear

What's the matter, Brother? Do you have ants in your pants?

No, I have sand in my swimsuit.

Mama Bear

You just put it on. How can there be sand in it?

It's kind of a long story.

[arrives home after playing at Lenny's house] Hey, where's dinner?

Sister Bear

We already ate.

Mama Bear

There are leftovers in the fridge. You can help yourself.

You ate without me?

Papa Bear

Mama's meatloaf was getting cold.

Sister Bear

And we were hungry!

Why is everyone so grumpy?

Mama Bear

You kept us waiting for half an hour.

I was playing Lenny's new video game I must have lost track of time. [sees a gift on the table] Hey, whose present is it?

Mama Bear

Yours.

Gee, thanks. What did I do?

Mama Bear

It's for your birthday.

My birthday? But that's a month away!

Sister Bear

We thought you could use it right now.

Use what?

Papa Bear

Open it.

Wow! A Mighty Super Bear watch!

Hey, where are you going?

Sister Bear

[angrily and tries to rush Brother] The bookstore! Remember?!

I remember. I was just playing at Lenny's.

Sister Bear

I told you, "4 o'clock!"!

Mama Bear

[also trying to rush Brother] Come on, Brother. We're already late as it is.

Sister Bear

[sadly] I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S CLOSED!

Mama Bear

I'm sure Ursula Major will visit the bookstore again.

Hey, don't look at me. That train we had to wait for must've been 100 freight cars long.

Sister Bear

And if you had come home at 4 o'clock, we would have been past that railway-crossing before the train came!

Mama Bear

[to Sister] Now, now, here's no sense getting into a big fuss over it.

Right, Sis. These things happen.

Mama Bear

Now, I didn't say that, Brother.

What?

Mama Bear

These things happen (sometimes), yes, but your coming home late didn't help matters.

Maybe next time I should pay closer attention to my watch.

Mama Bear

A watch doesn't take you where you have to be. It's up to you to decide if you want to be on time.

[to Mama] Well, I want to be on time. I just get busy with things sometimes.

Sister Bear

[to Brother] Well, next time you get busy with things, don't mess up my time too!

Sister Bear

[sighs] I wish I lived on a farm.

Farmer Ben

Oh, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else, even though there are many chores to do.

We did it! We made your cows sick!

Sister Bear

We forgot the latch the gate this morning!

So they got out!

Sister

Shep got them back in, but it was too late!

Something must've happened to them while they got out!

Sister Bear

Something that made them sick!

And it's all our fault!

Why are you smiling, Farmer Ben?

Because that solves the mystery.

Huh?

Farmer Ben

The stinky milk mystery.

The cows are fine.

Sister Bear

[sighs] They're not sick?

No, come on. I'll show you.

Sister Bear

What is this place, Mama?

Mama Bear

The Lost Cubs Station. It's where cubs who get lost and taken to wait for their parents. Another rule is if either one of you get lost and can't find our meeting place, then you should go into any store asks somebody who works there for help. Then that bear, or a uniform mall security bear will bring you here where I can find you.

Gee, Sis. Look at all the good things that could happen when you give someone your old stuff.

Sister Bear

And when you give someone your extra time.

Right. That's even better.

Can't Sister and I clean our room tomorrow?

Mama Bear

Afraid not. It's too messy.

Papa Bear

"Messy" is not the word. [peeks into the cubs' bedroom] If I didn't know better, I think you have been raising a family of monkeys in there.

Sister Bear

Why don't you try hopping up and down on one foot while holding your nose.

Papa Bear

That sounds so crazy, it just might work.

And if that doesn't get rid of hiccups, at least we've created a new dance move.

Mama Bear

I called this emergency meeting because we're having a family crisis. We don't do anything together as a family anymore. I think we need to spend more time together.

Papa Bear

I guess the problem is just trying to find the time.

Mama Bear

Exactly, so I say we make the time. I porpose that next Saturday we go on a special family picnic.

Papa Bear

We haven’t done that in a while.

Sister Bear

I love picnics.

I’ll bring my ant jar… Only my Bear Scout Troop’s having our car wash for charade next Saturday.

Sister Bear

And next Saturday is Lizzy's Birthday.

Papa Bear

And I have to finish the Squire’s end table next Saturday. [Mama sighs] What about spending time together after all that?

I know, we can go see a movie.

Mama Bear

But we would be just sitting in a dark room eating popcorn. That's not really the special family time I had in mind. [sighs] But if that's the best we can do, then a movie it is. [Brother and Sister hug Mama,] At least we'll be doing something together as a family.

Mama Bear

Goodness, a whole week gone already. Come on, Bear Family! Time to spend some family time together!

Sister Bear

What movie are we going to see?

Papa Bear

Look at all these movies. They used to show only one at a time.

Let’s go see Goopy Monsters from the Sewer!

Sister Bear

Ew! How about The Ballerina Slipper?

Papa Bear

What about an action packed adventure movie?
