The best way to have a good neighbor is to be a good neighbor.
S3 E1New Neighbors / The Big Election
If I were mayor, I wouldn't be wasting my time in meetings. No, sir! I'd be out getting things done like fixing the pot holes.
S3 E2At the Giant Mall / The Giddy Grandma
Rules are for everyone. Big or small, rules keep all of us safe.
What is this place, Mama?
The Lost Cubs Station. It's where cubs who get lost and taken to wait for their parents. Another rule is if either one of you get lost and can't find our meeting place, then you should go into any store asks somebody who works there for help. Then that bear, or a uniform mall security bear will bring you here where I can find you.
Has anybody seen a parking space yet?
Well, if we keep going around and around like this, we'll run out of gas before we even find one.
I believe every bear has something about them we can admire.

According to Gramps, everything is an antique if you keep it long enough.
Heroes aren't just found in books. They're everywhere when we take time to find out about them.
S3 E3Think of Those in Need / The Hiccup Cure
BBBrother Bear
Gee, Sis. Look at all the good things that could happen when you give someone your old stuff.
And when you give someone your extra time.
BBBrother Bear
Right. That's even better.
BBBrother Bear
Can't Sister and I clean our room tomorrow?
Afraid not. It's too messy.
"Messy" is not the word. [peeks into the cubs' bedroom] If I didn't know better, I think you have been raising a family of monkeys in there.
I suppose I have been eating a little too fast lately.
[chuckles] A little too fast? My, you've been eating like a vacuum cleaner.
[chuckles] I do like cleaning off my plate.
I'm spending more time... [hiccups since the sandwich] ...on hiccup cures than I am on finishing that chair.
Why don't you try hopping up and down on one foot while holding your nose.
That sounds so crazy, it just might work.
BBBrother Bear
And if that doesn't get rid of hiccups, at least we've created a new dance move.
S3 E4Go to the Movies / Car Trip
[embarrassingly annoyed] Good morning, everyone! I'd made us a nice... family... breakfast.
I called this emergency meeting because we're having a family crisis. We don't do anything together as a family anymore. I think we need to spend more time together.
Brother Bear But we're spending time together right now. [He smiles and Sister nods, but then they look up in surprise at Mama's next words.]
Mama Bear I mean special family time together when we go out and do things as a family, like spending a day at the beach, or visiting the Bear Sounion Institution.
I guess the problem is just trying to find the time.
Exactly, so I say we make the time. I porpose that next Saturday we go on a special family picnic.
We haven’t done that in a while.
I love picnics.
BBBrother Bear
I’ll bring my ant jar… Only my Bear Scout Troop’s having our car wash for charade next Saturday.
And next Saturday is Lizzy's Birthday.
And I have to finish the Squire’s end table next Saturday. [Mama sighs] What about spending time together after all that?
BBBrother Bear
I know, we can go see a movie.
But we would be just sitting in a dark room eating popcorn. That's not really the special family time I had in mind. [sighs] But if that's the best we can do, then a movie it is. [Brother and Sister hug Mama,] At least we'll be doing something together as a family.
