Okay, Everyone set?
Are we forgetting something?
[gasps] Brother!
[Brother comes running out of the house]
[chuckles] Well, we can't forget Brother!
[chuckles] After all, this is a family vacation.
Got the camera, I wanna take lots of pictures.
[Papa Bear has just fallen into the river after being carried out of the cabin in a flood.]
[angrily] That's it! We're going home! The best vacation ever has been nothing but the worst vacation ever! Nothing has gone right. The cabin, the fishing, the berries... THE STEW! It was all supposed to be... fun!
Sometimes the difference between having a bad time and a great time all depends on how you look at it.
And 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!
[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?!
I'm using it to keep the paint off my desk.
YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED!
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.]
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.
[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!
Just think, someday you'll be parents with cubs all your own to take care of.
I think maybe we'll skip that part.
And we'll just become grandparents.
Our last play for tonight features Brother and Sister Bear, Cousin Fred, and Lizzie Bruin. It's called "The Trouble with Parents".
[As the school play starts, Brother is "Papa Bear", Sister is "Mama Bear", Cousin Freddy is "Brother Bear", and Lizzy is "Sister Bear"]
Where's (the rest of) my newspaper, son?
I have it, Papa. I'm using it so you don't get any paint on this nice new table you made in your workshop.
What?! You didn't ask me!
But you never read this section, Papa!
That doesn't matter! Ooh, you cubs make me so mad!
[Everyone in the audience laughs, including the grandparents. But Papa and Mama Bear are embarrassed.]
[talking on the phone] Hi, Terry. How are you?
Is that Mrs. Waterspout, dear?
No, Mama. It is my friend, Terry.
You know I'm waiting for a very important telephone call!
I'm sorry, Mama. But I didn't--
You cubs talk on the phone a zillion times a day! It makes me want to SCREAM!
[The cap on Sister's costume flies off.]
[As the school play ends]
You know sometimes.
Our parents are all right.
But sometimes it's hard being a cub when parents seem to blow their tops without a good reason.
Sooner or later, parents grow out of it and become grandparents.
And grandparents never blow their tops at their grandcubs.
