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.
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!
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!
I think we should end the TV-ban on account of bad weather.
Rain or no rain. No TV for a week means no TV for a week.
BBBrother Bear
What are we supposed to do for fun?
How about cracking open a good book?
BBBrother Bear
Okay. [grabs a television guide]
That's the television guide.
BBBrother Bear
But it's still reading. [looks at the television guide] Oh, guess what movie is on TV tonight!
BBBrother Bear
Honey, I shrunk the cubs!
That's a classic! [to Mama] Mama, you have to let us watch that!
I'm sorry, Brother and Sister, but the only way to break the "TV-watching-habit" is to keep the TV off.
BBBrother Bear
We'll go here, and here.
Don't forget this house. They always give out Crispy Squares.
BBBrother Bear
Mm-mmm, love those Crispy Squares.
BBBrother Bear
It's a trick-or-treat map.
We're figuring out which houses to visit tonight.
BBBrother Bear
We're going to Farmer Ben's house and then Mrs. Grizzle's; she usually makes special Halloween cookies.
And then Teacher Jane's. She gives out good stuff.
BBBrother Bear
And we'll go to Dr. Grizzly's house, even though she gives out healthy snacks.
And then Gramps and Gran. They always have lots of candy for us.
Hmm, it looks like you missed Widder Jones' house.
BBBrother Bear
Oh, we did that on purpose.
BBBrother Bear
[to Mama; talking about Widder Jones] Because she's a witch!
Oh, nonsense! She's very sweet and kindhearted.
BBBrother Bear
[confused] Mama, I'm talking about the Widder Jones who lives on Crooked Lane. That Widder Jones.
Yes, I know who you mean. We take a quilting class together. She's very friendly and helpful.
BBBrother Bear
[whispering to Sister Bear] Until she turns you into a statue.
In fact, I saw her at the market today. She's preparing a very special treat for all the trick-or-treaters. And when you get home, I want to hear that you've paid Widder Jones a visit. Remember not to judge someone by their appearance.
BBBrother Bear
I guess so. You knock, and I'll wait by the road.
BBBrother Bear
It’s Too Tall and his boys! They’re not here for the Treats, just the tricks!
WJWidder Jones
I understand perfectly! And I am more than happy to oblige. Watch this!
[Widder Jones pulls a rope, Too-Tall, Smirk and Skuzz pop out of a bush and Vampire bats swarm them.]
Watch out! Vampire bats! They’re after us!
Aah! They’re gonna get us!
BBBrother Bear
Wow! That’ll teach them!
But, they’re still coming back!
WJWidder Jones
Maybe they wants some more tricks!
[Widder Jones pulls another rope, Too-Tall and his gang pop out from behind a tree, as ghosts appear.]
TTToo-Tall and his Gang
Ghosts! [screaming].
WJWidder Jones
So, Brother. How would you like to play the final trick!
WJWidder Jones
Just turn this on and watch the fun!
BBrother
5, 4, 3, 2, 1! [Flicks a switch]
This isn't much fun as I thought it would be!
[Suddenly, skeletons appear out of nowhere.]
TTToo-Tall and his Gang
[screaming].
Let’s get out of here! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES. Let's go home. Mommy Daddy?
