[Brother accidentally knocks over Sister's glass of milk.] Brother, look what you did!
[Mama Gasps]
What? Did I say something wrong?
[scolds Sister] You certainly did, young lady! That's a terrible thing to call someone!
Mama BearWherever did you hear language like that?
Mama Bear
What sort of video?
"Trouble at Big Bear High".
BBBrother Bear
[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.
Lizzy's older brother rented it. I didn't know.
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.
BBBrother Bear
Uh-oh, I think she said it to someone else.
Mama Bear
Oh, Sister!
Mama, I need to go see Lizzy right away.
Mama Bear
Hurry along, then.
BBBrother Bear
And I thought I did dumb things sometimes. [pours too much ketchup on his beet greens] Oops.
Lizzy! You know that word we've been saying? It's a bad word.
Now you tell me. I called my brother a you-know-what, right in front of my mom!
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!
Me too! No wonder Stacy and Millie didn't want to play with us.
I forgot all about Stacy and Millie. I wonder what they think of us? Now what do we do?
We tell them we're sorry! Come on!
Mama Bear
I know I'm forgetting something. But what? [tries to turn on the car, but it's not working, because she forgot to get it fixed] Oh, the car! I forgot to get the car fixed!
BBBrother Bear
We're going to be late, Mama!
Mama Bear
I don't know what to... [starts crying.]
[Brother and Sister both cry after Mama does. Now Mama, Brother, and Sister are crying in the red roadster car, because it's not working.]
[as he sees that Mama, Brother and Sister are crying, because Mama forgot to get the car fixed] What in? [The scene cuts back to the cubs and Mama crying. Then it cuts back to Papa. And Papa says...!] So this is what it's come to! Alright then, as of this moment I'm calling it absolutely everything for today offically off!
[In the book, only Mama was crying. And Sister went inside to stay with Mama, while Brother got Papa. In the TV adaptation, when the car did not start, Brother and Sister were both crying with Mama. The scene cuts to the bear family's living room. And Papa erases all of the cubs's summer activities. That is, since the car would not start.]
BBBrother Bear
The thunderbolt is nothing for a cub like me. I can do the whole ride with my arms up in the air, and a big smile on my face!
Mama Bear
Now, Brother. No one likes to listen to that kind of boastful talk.
[laughs] You should have heard him bragging about shooting the basketball with his eyes closed, Mama.
Mama Bear
Oh?
Then he missed by a mile. [laughs]
Mama Bear
You see? It's easy to boast, but not so easy when you have to admit you can't do the big things you boast about.
So you shouldn't brag about things you've never done before.
BBBrother Bear
Okay. I'll brag about it after then.
After the ride, or after you gotten sick to your stomach! [Lizzy and Sister laugh]
I rode the thunderbolt when I was a cub. Walked away with my head hailed high So if my my son is made up the same way as his papa, then... Whoa! [He falls] He'll do just fine.
BBBrother Bear
Thank you, Papa.
We're having a great time, aren't we, Lizzy?
Uh-huh! we made balloon animals at the craftshow.
And we went to the petting zoo.
We were laughing so hard on the trampoline, my face hurts.
Mama Bear
How did you boys make out on the Thunderbolt?
We're going on that next.
But you can't take food on the ride, and Brother hasn't finished his pizza yet.
BBBrother Bear
[takes a bite of his pizza] I'm working on it.
BBBrother Bear
You've been nibbling on that pizza slice for almost an hour.
BBBrother Bear
I'm not hungry I guess.
Here. I'll finish it off for you.
[Papa tries to take a bite of the pizza but Mama stops him]
Mama Bear
Now Papa, you really should stop eating so much.
Nonsense, [standing in front of a mirror] besides, look how thin I am!
Mama Bear
Are we forgetting something?
[Brother comes running out of the house]
Mama Bear
[chuckles] Well, we can't forget Brother!
[chuckles] After all, this is a family vacation.
BBBrother Bear
Got the camera, I wanna take lots of pictures.
[Papa --who was looking for the rest of his newspaper-- finds the rest of his newspaper and sees Brother using it to keep the paint off of his desk. Before that, Sister was hogging the phone when she was talking to Lizzy. Even though Mama needed the phone to call the hardware store. In the meantime, Papa sees Brother. And he --Papa-- wants to know what Brother is doing with the rest of his newspaper.]
[shocked] WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH (THE REST OF) MY NEWSPAPER?!
BBBrother Bear
I'm using it to keep the paint off my desk.
BBBrother Bear
But no one in this family reads the for-sale section!
WELL, I'M READING IT NOW! (NOW I WANT THE REST OF MY NEWSPAPER!)
[After Papa says this, he demands that Brother hands over the rest of his newspaper. Because the "for sale" section was part of his newspaper. And Brother was using it to keep the paint off of his desk, when he should've taken the old newspaper from the recycle bin instead.]
Mama Bear
Did you find it? [Phone ringing] Oh! Mrs Honeypot!
Hi Lizzy. [realizes Mama is standing in front of her] Uh-oh! I'll call you back.
Mama Bear
[to Sister] You know I have been waiting for mayor's wife to call, and you're always on the phone with Lizzy! You have all day to talk to her tomorrow, so please stay off the phone! And it's your turn to set the table!
Mama Bear
Well, I'm glad you didn't come by any earlier or you would've missed us.
We were at Dr. Grizzly's for our checkup.
AAudrea
Aw, Honey. There, there. It's alright.
Oh, is the lemonade too sour?
AAudrea
Oh no, Sister. It's about the doctor. Honey has her second checkup this afternoon. (Her first check-up at both the doctor and dentist, they were last year.) And (because this year is her second check-up at the doctor's office,) she is a little upset about it.
But Dr. Grizzly is really nice. You'll like getting a checkup.
HHoney
I don't want to go for a checkup! I'm not going to!
[Honey under the table, and says...!]
HHoney
I'm staying under here!
[True to what Honey says, she thinks it's better to stay away from seeing the doctor and dentist.]
Sorry. I was just trying to help.
AAudrea
No, it's not your fault. Honey's just got it into her head that her checkup is going to be scary.
HHoney
It is going to be scary! I'm not going!
[Honey is hiding because she doesn't want to have her second check-up even though she had her first one already. In fact, since this year’s her second one, she’s going for her annual check-up.]
AAudrea
Now Honey, I think it's time to come out from under there.
Mama Bear
Yes, you wouldn't want to get sewen into the quilt.
HHoney
[from inside the quilt] I'm not coming out until you promise I don't have to go to see the doctor!
Would you like to double-dutch with us, Hillary?
HHillary
[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.
Mama Bear
[Laughing] Now, boys.
BBBrother Bear
Sorry, Mama. But your honey-glazed carrots are so good.
Hey! What about my turkey loaf? I thought that was pretty good too.
BBBrother Bear
Best in Bear Country Papa.
Too bad Sister doesn't think so.
Mama Bear
Not hungry tonight, Sister?
Mama Bear
Is something wrong, sweetie?
Well, Hillary made fun of my clothes, my name, and said jumping rope is for little cubs!
Mama Bear
Who's Hillary?
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?
Mama Bear
Then that's all that matters. Just be yourself and others will accept you for who you are.
