[Farmer Ben --unnoticed at first-- uses himself like a scarecrow. Brother Bear and the big cubs --Too-Tall, Smirk, and Skuzz-- think he's a scarecrow --and that there's a real scarecrow in the watermelon patch-- in the spite of that. That is, although they fail to notice him. He uses himself as a scarecrow --having his eyes shut, arms spread out, feet together, and his face like a scarecrow's face-- in the middle of the watermelon patch. That is, as if there really is a scarecrow in his patch. So Farmer Ben --striking the pose-- pretends to be a scarecrow. Brother --after picking out the biggest and greenest skinned watermelon-- gets the melon off the vine, breaks the stem off of it, and picks it up. But when he picks up the melon, Farmer Ben moves a little by smiling. Then he opens his eyes, makes his mouth into an "O" shape, and --offscreen-- undoes his scarecrow pose. Then he --as if returning back to his normal self-- runs up to Brother and catches him.]
GOTCHA!
[Brother Bear tries to run away --only to be tightly grabbed by Farmer Ben.]
HELP! LET ME GO!
[The scene cuts to Too-Tall the bully. And his two friends --Smirk and Skuzz. When they see that Brother is caught by Farmer Ben, they run away.]
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
[Too-Tall the bully. And his two friends run away screaming. Farmer Ben does not notice Too-Tall the bully. And his two friends --Smirk and Skuzz-- but he talks to Brother about the dee-double dare incident. And he --Farmer Ben-- is unaware that Too-Tall, Smirk, and Skuzz are invading his melon patch again.]
BROTHER BEAR! WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING STEALING WATERMELONS WITH TOO-TALL AND HIS NO GOOD GANG?!
[As Farmer Ben says this, he wants to know what in the Earth Brother Bear --stealing Too-Tall-- is doing with that watermelon.]
First they dared me, then they double dared me, AND FINALLY, THEY DEE DOUBLE DARED ME!
That dee double dare is so hard to resist.
I wanted to walk away. But then they called me chicken! I'm sorry, Farmer Ben.
Well, it's okay, Brother. It's not your fault. I'm not going to call in and tell your parents about this one watermelon stealing mistake.
