All Brown Eyes does is eat and sleep.
Well, that's what babies do. When they aren't eating and sleeping, ...
[giggles] They're sleeping and eating.
Exactly.
Babies and papas.
Papa Bear[offscreen] Hey! I heard that!
[giggles] I love you, Brown Eyes.
Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.
Papa Bear[panting] I agree with you, one hundred percent.
What about Sugarballs?
And Choco Chums?
Papa BearAnd Sweetsie Cola?
Sweets and goodies don't give you the kind of nourishment your body needs.
Are they bad for us?
Having treats occasionally is fine. If you have too much, they fill you up and you're not hungry for the healthy foods your body needs.
Papa BearWell cubs, it's time for us to get our trains back on the track.
You're right, Papa. [Sister starts chugging and whistling like a train]
Papa BearWhoo-whoo! [looking back toward Brother; chuckles] Get on board, son. Whoo-whoo!
I... I think I'll walk. I need the exercise.
Papa BearI have an idea. Let's go home, celebrate by opening up the freezer, and...
[cuts him off] Uh-uh-uh, it's far too easy to fall back into the junk food habit.
We'll celebrate with carrot sticks.
And nuts and raisins.
Gee, I wish I had a bad habit to break so I can earn some extra money.
Papa Bear[laughing] Oh, go on.
[Papa is still fussing about his pumpkin "The Giant" being in 1st place. He mutters about his pumpkin rival and opponent Farmer Ben who has won the pumpkin contest 10 or more years already before Papa even entered. That is, as he says...!]
Papa BearMY PUMPKIN --THE GIANT-- IT CAN BEAT THE PANTS OFF FROM ANY OF FARMER BEN'S PUMPKINS! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE PUMPKIN CONTEST!
[But Mama is concerned about Papa's "fixation" with first place. That is, as she says...!]
Thanksgiving is about giving thanks and not about beating the pants off someone, especially with your best friend.
Papa Bear[half chuckles] HA!
[After Papa Bear says this --with a half chuckle-- he next says...!]
Papa Bear[roars in frustration] THERE ARE NO FRIENDS IN PUMPKIN GROWING CONTESTS!
[Indeed, for 10 years in a row, Farmer Ben has gotten first place with his pumpkin while Mrs. Mc Grizz --for 10 years-- has gotten second place. And Papa --with the Bear family's pumpkin "The Giant"-- wants to beat his rivals --Farmer Ben and Mrs. McGrizz-- this year. That is, not knowing that "The Giant" is going to go in 3rd place every year. But --despite that-- Papa still hopes his pumpkin --The Giant-- is going to be first or second place this year. And Papa still fusses about it. He is too obsessed about the prize.]
What is Papa doing?
[Papa --who is still obsessing about 1st place in pumpkin growing contests-- is talking to "The Giant".]
Papa Bear[to the Giant] Come on, buddy. Keep growing. You can do it. Think big.
[laughs] Papa just read a book that says you can make plants grow faster by talking to them.
Hmm. Was it a comic book?
[Brother and Sister started to laugh]
Papa BearI heard that. Laugh if you want to, but I'll do whatever it takes to win.
[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.
Huh? No way! I don't want to talk to her!
Papa Bear[sternly] What's gotten into you two?
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...
Ahem.
Yes. We'll help you clean out your attic. [chuckles] Okay. Bye. [hangs up]
[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 BearThose things can always wait until another time.
I'm sure Lenny and Lizzy will understand.
Papa BearYou know, you two should be very proud of yourselves. Helping others is a tradition that Bear Country was built on.
But we already helped out for a whole afternoon!
Come on, Sister, let's go do something fun before it gets dark.
[Brother accidentally knocks over Sister's glass of milk.] Brother, look what you did!
Sorry.
You're such a furball!
[Mama Gasps]
What? Did I say something wrong?
Papa Bear[scolds Sister] You certainly did, young lady! That's a terrible thing to call someone!
Wherever did you hear language like that?
On a video.
What sort of video?
"Trouble at Big Bear High".
[Chuckles] "Trouble at Big Bear High"? That video's not for little cubs.
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.
Papa BearI know you didn't know, (and neither did Lizzy,) but now you do.
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.
Oh, Sister!
Mama, I need to go see Lizzy right away.
Hurry along, then.
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, no!
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!
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!
We're going to be late, Mama!
We have to do something!
I don't know what to... [starts crying.]
Don't cry, Mama!
Mama?
[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.]
Papa Bear[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.]
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!
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.
Oh?
Then he missed by a mile. [laughs]
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.
Okay. I'll brag about it after then.
After the ride, or after you gotten sick to your stomach! [Lizzy and Sister laugh]
Ha, ha.
Papa BearI 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.
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.
How did you boys make out on the Thunderbolt?
Papa BearWe're going on that next.
But you can't take food on the ride, and Brother hasn't finished his pizza yet.
[takes a bite of his pizza] I'm working on it.
You've been nibbling on that pizza slice for almost an hour.
I'm not hungry I guess.
Papa BearHere. I'll finish it off for you.
[Papa tries to take a bite of the pizza but Mama stops him]
Now Papa, you really should stop eating so much.
Papa BearNonsense, [standing in front of a mirror] besides, look how thin I am!
I think we should have stuck with the fish we had before.
Papa BearBut I wanted a real prize winner.
But Papa, we weren't catching a fish to win a prize. We were catching a fish for dinner. I don't think Gran and Gramps need a whale.
Papa BearOkay, Everyone set?
Are we forgetting something?
[gasps] Brother!
[Brother comes running out of the house]
[chuckles] Well, we can't forget Brother!
Papa Bear[chuckles] After all, this is a family vacation.
Got the camera, I wanna take lots of pictures.
Sometimes the difference between having a bad time and a great time all depends on how you look at it.
Papa BearAnd you know what the best part of this vacation is? It's not over yet. Now, who wants to go find some sweet bumble berries for breakfast?
Yes!
Brother Bear Let's go!
