It's very important to remember to say "please" and "thank you".
BBBrother Bear
Three little words that are easy to forget, but mean a lot.
They mean a lot to everyone.

Something very important, Papa. Their please and thank you's.
[The viewers hear Mr. Grizzly --offscreen, but in the hallway-- who is making grumpy groans.]
PHPrincipal Honeycomb
[to Mr. Grizzly about the broken window] Hey, Mr. Grizzly?
[The viewers now see Mr. Grizzly who comes into Mr. Honeycomb's office. Mr. Grizzly --grumpy but sort of polite-- he says...!]
GMr. Grizzly
[in between grumpy groans] HA! WHAT!?
PHPrincipal Honeycomb
[explains his problem] I seems that we that a broken window. And it needs an immediate repair.
GMr. Grizzly
HUMPH!
[Mr. Grizzly walks away and resumes grumpy groans.]
[The scene cuts to Brother at dinnertime with his family. And he tells them not only about school. He also includes the part how he had bad luck with the custodian bear Mr. Grizzly. That is, as he says...!]
BBBrother Bear
But the worst part about breaking the window, it was the look Mr. Grizzly gave me! He sure is grumpy!
Everyone gets grumpy once in a while, even me.
BBBrother Bear
Not like him. He's grumpy all the time.
He's the grumpiest bear around.
Well, there must be a reason for it.
By the way Sister, I convinced my quilter's club to change our meeting again. So I can give you a ride to Lizzie's tomorrow. Okay?
That Lizzie! I did a big favor for her two times today, but she didn't even say thank you once!
Oh no! A math quiz, but I don’t have an eraser!
I have an extra one you can use, Lizzy. (Lizzy grabs the eraser, but does not say thank you to Sister)
Mama has been trying to help me speed things up, but having to get her every time is slowing everything down to a snail's pace.
BBBrother Bear
And it's wearing out my feet.
GMiss Grizzle
Lady Grizzly's birthday party isn't until-
[enters the quilt shop] Next weekend.
NEXT WEEKEND?! But, Miss Grizzle, you said on the phone that it was this weekend!
GMiss Grizzle
I did? Oopsy. You know me, I get mixed up sometimes. Well, thanks again. Bye.
