Mama Bear quotes from The Berenstain Bears (2003)

Mama Bear

And so, you went with Brother on the bus for your first day of school.

Mama Bear

[the episode first line] If you're a bear who loves TV, loud music, and fun, how are you going to get your homework done?

Mama Bear

They say the first star you see at night you can make a wish on. That's why it's called the wishing star.

Mama Bear

It takes all kinds to make up a family.

Mama Bear

[voice over and first lines; just like from the book adaptation of said episode The Berenstain Bears and the New Neighbors] "Uh oh, some neighbors moved away.

Mama Bear

Uh-huh, it’s my going away present to you. Honey crunch brittle?

Mama Bear

The best way to have a good neighbor is to be a good neighbor.

Mama Bear

I believe every bear has something about them we can admire.

Mama Bear

[embarrassingly annoyed] Good morning, everyone! I'd made us a nice... family... breakfast.

Mama Bear

It's easier to find what you need when everything is kept in its proper place.

Mama Bear

It's always a good idea to plan ahead and make a list of everything you might need so you won't forget anything.

Mama Bear

[referring to Papa] Sometimes he's more of a cub than the cubs.

Even the flu doesn't feel this bad.

Mama Bear

How was your day at school?

We had a math test today, and...

Sister Bear

I don't feel very well, Mama.

Mama Bear

Oh, dear. [Sneezes]

Sister Bear

I think I caught Brother's cold.

Papa Bear

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 Bear

Thank you.

Papa Bear

And I'll carry you.

Mama Bear

I'll put on some chicken soup.

[shows the zero on his division test] I told you it was pretty bad.

Papa Bear

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.

Mama Bear

[offscreen] You should have come to us right away.

I know, I'm sorry.

Papa Bear

At least you're coming to us now.

Sister Bear

I don't want Dr. Bearson to yank my tooth out with his big yankers!

I was only kidding. I didn't think she'd believe me. [chuckles] Sorry, Sister.

Mama Bear

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.

Mama Bear

[stops him] Not so fast! Sister's loose tooth doesn't explain why you didn't want any oatmeal chewies.

I had a little toothache, but it's feeling much... [his tooth starts to hurt.] better now. Ow!

Mama Bear

How long have you had this toothache?

Since this morning when I was eating a gooey gum.

Mama Bear

More gooey gums?

Papa Bear

No wonder you have a toothache. They're so sweet that even your truly papa bear wouldn't eat one.

Mama Bear

I better phone Dr. Bearson and make an appointment right away.
