I just want to say, may the best bear win.

BBBrother Bear
Gee, I wish I had a bad habit to break so I can earn some extra money.
[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...!]
MY 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.
[half chuckles] HA!
[After Papa Bear says this --with a half chuckle-- he next says...!]
[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.]
You know, you can have your colorful autumn leaves and your golden sunsets. What I like best about fall is a big spread of orange pumpkins.
What is Papa doing?
[Papa --who is still obsessing about 1st place in pumpkin growing contests-- is talking to "The Giant".]
[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]
I heard that. Laugh if you want to, but I'll do whatever it takes to win.
[watching Farmer Ben fertilize his pumpkin patch] It doesn't matter what you do, Ben. None of your pumpkins are going to ever measure up to the Giant. [chuckles]
BBBrother Bear
I don't get it. Queenie pretends to be his friend, we're really trying to be his friends, and we're the ones he ignores.
How can somebody so smart be so dumb?
Ferdy knows a lot of things, but I don't think he knows very much about friends.
Guess he'll just have to find out about Queenie the hard way.
Widder Jones is really nice, isn't she?
BBBrother Bear
And she's always doing things for everyone else.
[to Brother] Are you doing anything important on Saturday?
BBBrother Bear
Yeah, sort of. I'm helping out a neighbor at her yard sale.
Me too.
[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.
BBBrother Bear
[to Sister] You talk to her.
Huh? No way! I don't want to talk to her!
[sternly] What's gotten into you two?
Yes. Widder Jones thanks the world of you, cubs.
BBBrother Bear
[sighs, takes the phone, and talks to Widder Jones] Hello. Oh, you're welcome. Next Saturday? Um... Well, actually, Sister and I were...
Ahem.
BBBrother Bear
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!
BBBrother Bear
I told Lenny I'd come over and check out his new video game!
Those things can always wait until another time.
I'm sure Lenny and Lizzy will understand.
You 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!
BBBrother Bear
Come on, Sister, let's go do something fun before it gets dark.
[The scene cuts to Sister and Lizzy's indoor picnic. That is, while it is raining outside. In this scene, the dolls --Sister's doll and Lizzy's doll-- are sisters and act like they are Sister and Lizzy's children. Sister is "Mommy", while Lizzy is "The Aunt". In the meantime, Brenda --Sister's doll-- is "stuffed" because she ate her cookies/dessert/snacks first. That is, as she --Brenda-- says...!]
BBrenda (Sister's Impersonation)
"Mommy...? I can't eat any more of my sandwich! I'm stuffed!"
AAngela (Lizzy's Impersonation)
"I'm stuffed too!"
[as her doll's "mama"] I told you to not eat your cookies first.
[Sister and Lizzy both laugh. When Sister's Doll ate her cookies/dessert/snacks first, she was too full up to eat her sandwich.]
Go Brenda go!
Come on, Angela! You can do it!
BMrs Bruin
Hi, Mrs Bearfoot. I'm fine, thanks. How are you?
Go, Brenda! You're almost there!
Sister Bear Hurry Hurry!
BMrs Bruin
Uh-huh. Just a minute, Mrs Bearfoot. Lizzy, can you and Sister do something quiet while i'm on the phone, please?
Okay, Brenda it's time for you and Angela to have your afternoon naps.
Yes, it's naptime girls.
No monkey business you two.
AAngela (Lizzy's Impersonation)
We'll be listening.
[On the video "Trouble at Big Bear High". It is a video that Barry --Lizzy's older brother-- had rented from a video rental shop.]
BBBoy Bear
Out of my way, guys! I got points to score! Your team's going down, furball!
BBBoy Bear 2
Who you calling furball, Furball?
[Brother accidentally knocks over Sister's glass of milk.] Brother, look what you did!
BBBrother Bear
Sorry.
You're such a furball!
[Mama Gasps]
What? Did I say something wrong?
[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".
BBBrother Bear
[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.
I 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.
BBBrother Bear
Uh-oh, I think she said it to someone else.
Oh, Sister!
Mama, I need to go see Lizzy right away.
Hurry along, then.
BBBrother Bear
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!
Crude talk is rude talk.
SStacy
And name calling is nasty.
Saying words that hurt other people's feelings doesn't sound too grown-up to me.
You're right. Our language has so many words to choose from.
