What are you cubs doing?
[sighs] Nothing.
BBBrother Bear
There's nothing to do.
Nothing to do? Everybody else seems to be able to find something to do.

Yes. Four hands may clean up faster than two, but eight hands clean even faster.

Some little bears have big ears.
You mean Sister has big ears?
I have big ears!
[chuckles] Big ears? Goodness, I don't know where you got the idea. But your ears aren't big.
Yes, they are! They're big. Big as an elephant's!
[Sister hears a baby crying. The baby is crying because she let go of her balloon. Her mother shushes her to calm her down. Sister has an idea she to give her ice cream to the baby to make her feel better]
MMother
I'm sorry, dear. The balloon's too high. Mama can't get it back.
Mmm, good! [She gives the baby her ice cream] Hasn't even have a lick!
[The baby she tastes the ice cream and likes it]
MMother
Thank you. [to Mama] I hope someday your daughter gets to turn out like mine.
Lizzie, maybe you're a bit loud and maybe you talk a lot. But don't ever listen to anyone who says you have a big mouth.
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!
BBBrother Bear
We're going to be late, Mama!
We have to do something!
I don't know what to... [starts crying.]
Don't cry, Mama!
BBBrother Bear
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.]
[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.]
BBBrother Bear
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.
BBBrother Bear
Okay. I'll brag about it after then.
After the ride, or after you gotten sick to your stomach! [Lizzy and Sister laugh]
BBBrother Bear
Ha, ha.
I 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.
BBBrother Bear
Thank you, Papa.
If there's no prize-winning fish in this lake, why, I'll eat my hat!
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?
We're going on that next.
But you can't take food on the ride, and Brother hasn't finished his pizza yet.
BBBrother Bear
[takes a bite of his pizza] I'm working on it.
BBBrother Bear
You've been nibbling on that pizza slice for almost an hour.
BBBrother Bear
I'm not hungry I guess.
Here. 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.
Nonsense, [standing in front of a mirror] besides, look how thin I am!
I think we should have stuck with the fish we had before.
But 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.
You cubs look awfully cheery today!
That's because school's out.
BBBrother Bear
Yep, it's the first day of summer!
[referring to the farm] Peace and quiet doesn't last long around here.
[after pumping the water] I think my arms are going to fall off.
BBBrother Bear
If they do, may I use them to carry two more pails of water?
Gee, Farmer Ben is going to lose his whole crop! He doesn't need to hear about losing his helpers too.
BBBrother Bear
I know.
