BBBrother Bear
What am I doing here? What are you doing here? You're supposed to be looking after Lady.
No I'm not! I won the coin toss, remember?
BBBrother Bear
That was for cleaning up her accident.
It was for cleaning up her accident and looking after her!
BBBrother Bear
No it wasn't.
BBBrother Bear
Well, if we aren't looking after her, who is?
[Little Lady has made a mess in the living room. She's pulling one of her toys from underneath a flower vase. The cubs run home and say...!]
[The flower vase falls on the ground and breaks. The cubs look at the mess Little Lady made.]
BBBrother Bear
This isn't good!
[Mama and Papa return home]
Papa BearHi!
[Mama and Papa also look at the mess Little Lady made.]
Papa Bear
My chair!
[The scene cuts to outside where it's raining outside. Little Lady is sent to her doghouse as punishment for wrecking the living room.]
BBBrother Bear
Maybe we should have asked for a goldfish instead. At least we wouldn't have gotten it into so much trouble.
It's not fair to Little Lady. We should be the ones out in the doghouse.
[Mama and Papa are in the kitchen. Papa is fixing the broken flower vase, and Mama is sewing up a ripped pillow.]
Papa Bear
This vase is in more pieces than a jigsaw puzzle.
What could have gotten Little Lady into doing such a thing?
BBBrother Bear
We know what got into her.
BBBrother Bear
We weren't exactly looking after her when she got into trouble.
Papa Bear
You weren't looking after her?
She didn't get outside for any exercise all afternoon. Not even a walk.
BBBrother Bear
That's why she wrecked the living room. She was just trying to have some fun.
[offscreen] Looking after a puppy is a round-the-clock job.
Papa Bear
It isn't something you can just put off until later when it's more convenient.
BBBrother Bear
We're sorry
I guess we aren't very good puppy owners.
Papa Bear
[offscreen] Maybe you can make it up to her.
How about giving her a snack when you bring her back in.
We can bring her back in the house?
BBBrother Bear
You mean it?
After hearing what really happened, I think she deserves another chance.
BBBrother Bear
Come on, Sister! Let's go tell her the good news!
Papa Bear
What's this? A lovely lady dining alone? May I join you for lunch, Mrs. Bear?
Be my guest. [Papa kisses her] The cubs aren't interested.
Papa Bear
Oh? Where are they?
Eating in front of that television. It used to be a treat, but now they do it every day.
BBBrother Bear
[offscreen] Give it to me!
[offscreen] No way! It's my turn to choose!
[The scene cuts to the cubs in the living room, and they're fighting about what TV shows they should watch.]
WE'RE NOT WATCHING "BEAR WRESTLING"!
BBBrother Bear
THERE'S NO WAY I'M WATCHING "LITTLE TREEHOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE"!
[offscreen] OKAY, THAT'S IT!
[Brother and Sister jump from their fighting, drop the TV remote and the TV remote flies out of their hands.]
[catches the TV remote] NO MORE TV FOR A WEEK!
[Mama turns off the TV with the remote.]
Papa, Mama told us we can't watch TV for a whole week!
Papa Bear
Your Mama's got a point. You two cubs have been watching far too much television lately. Now, if you don't mind, I'm just going to catch some of the hockey playoffs. [Mama takes the TV remote from Papa.] Huh?
[to Papa] You too, Papa! [then to the rest of her family] For once, the whole family is going to be TV-free!
Papa Bear
Oh...!
I know what I'm going to have to listen to when Sister gets home: "Gee, Mama, Lizzie has so many Bearbie dolls. She even has Cruise Ship Bearbie with outfits. Why can't I have more Bearbies than one? And that's just Lizzie."
Papa Bear
Hmm, talking to yourself, huh? Certainly not a very good sign. You're being silly.
[sighs] You're right. I am being silly. But Sister is playing Bearbies with Lizzy again and I know exactly what's going to happen when she gets home.
Papa Bear
Oh, what's that?
It's the same every time. She complains she doesn't have all the things her friends have. With Lizzie, it's Bearbies. With Anna, it's a phone in her bedroom. And Queenie has a TV and a phone in her room.
Papa Bear
Hey, I don't even have a TV in my room! Hmm. But Sister does have a Bearbie and a whole lot of things her friends don't have.
I know, but she just thinks about what she doesn't have.
Papa Bear
And I suppose it won't be as much different with Brother when he gets home from Cousin Fred's.
We'll hear all about the video games Freddy has.
Papa Bear
Right, but he won't talk about the soccer ball or action figures he does have.
Never mind the large pile of comic books up in his room.
Papa Bear
Nope, he won't mention those at all.
Papa Bear
Hey! How did I end up with this job?
BBBrother Bear
Hey! there's something outside!
Papa Bear
Huh?
[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.
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.
Papa Bear
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?
BBBrother Bear
Did somebody call me?
Papa Bear
Hey, no peeking!
BBBrother Bear
Aw! I'm going to Cousin Fred's! See you later!
No skateboarding in the house! And be home for dinner!
There's nothing special about him. He's just my brother.
[The next day is Brother's birthday. After singing happy birthday, Brother is opening his gifts.]
BBBrother Bear
Wow! A new basketball! Thanks! Nice wrapping job, Papa.
BBBrother Bear
I bet I know what this is! My very favorite movie of all time! Bear Force 1!
BBBrother Bear
Grizzly Justice?
[nods her head no as it's neither of those.] It's called My hero The birthday boy.
BBBrother Bear
Uh.. [chuckles nervously] Gee. I really don't know if...
EEveryone
Show it! Show it! Show it!
[The scene cuts to Brother, Sister, Mama, Papa, Lizzy, Cousin Freddy and Fuzzy watching the video tape Sister created]
[on the TV] He's the best Brother anyone could have in the whole wide world. He's my hero.
[Everyone claps for Sister]
BBBrother Bear
That was great, Sister. Thanks. [kisses Sister]
Showing someone how you feel about them can be the greatest gift of all.
Papa Bear
And you don't even have to wrap it.
[Sister takes the video tape out of the DVD player]
BBBrother Bear
You're taking back my present?
Just for a little bit. I have to take it to class to show Teacher Jane.
BBBrother Bear
Well, I don't know what grade you'll get from her, but from me you get an A+.
Papa Bear
Your car is running, Mr. Bruin.
BMr. Bruin
Yes, I guess I should be happy it's running at all.
No, Mr. Bruin, he means it's running away!
BMr Bruin
What? [realizes his car is rolling down hill] Oh no! Not again! Gotta go! I'll pick you up later, Lizzie!
Okay, bye, Papa! [to Sister] Maybe after Brother is finished riding his bike, you can borrow it, and I can ride your bike.
Probably not. Brother doesn't let anyone ride his bike. Not even me!
BBBrother Bear
[imitating a car while riding his bike around the front yard but is about to fall off because it's outgrown. Luckily Papa catches Brother] WHOA!
[to Brother about the chipmunk she found] It looks like a little mouse.
BBBrother Bear
That's not a mouse, that's a chipmunk.
Papa Bear
You're right, Brother. And a baby one too. It looks brand new.
His eyes are barely open.
A little baby! Aw! It's so cute!
BBBrother Bear
And so teeny.
[Sister tries to pet the chipmunk, but Papa stops her]
Papa Bear
No, Sister. You shouldn't touch him.
But I want to take him into the house!
Papa Bear
Chipmunks belong outdoors, not in the house.
But it's just a baby, Papa.
Papa Bear
All the more reason to leave him outside. He belongs with his mama. We better move away so she can find her baby.
Sister Bear [sadly] Okay. [to the chipmunk] Bye-bye, baby chipmunk.
BBBrother Bear
[offscreen] Come on, Sister!
It's going to be dark soon.
So can we take the chipmunk inside then?
Papa Bear
[sternly] Now, Sister, remember what I said? Chipmunks belong outside.
I know, but he's just a little baby.
Papa Bear
[looks at the stormy clouds] Well, it does look like rain. Okay, but only because it's going to rain.
Papa Bear
And only for tonight.
We'll keep an eye out for his mama.
Mama, what do baby chipmunks eat?
Like most babies, they milk from their mamas. But since we don't have a mama chipmunk, we're going to have to improvise. Sister, you run upstairs to get one of your doll's baby bottles, [to Brother] And Brother, you find something for the chipmunk to sleep in. I'll fix him something to eat.
[Mama goes in the kitchen to make something for the chipmunk]
[to the chipmunk] How does a little warm milk and honey sound?
Papa Bear
Delicious! But I thought we were having mapled cured salmon tonight.
[laughs] It's for the chipmunk, silly.
Papa Bear
Well, in that case, milk and honey sounds fine.
