Well, I like that. Some unauthorized person has been using my modeling clay.
[Sister steals back her clay and furiously squishes the clay dinosaurs, turns them into a lump, and angrily rolls it into a ball.]
BBBrother Bear
It took me a week to make those! [angrily goes to the jigsaw puzzle] Well, what about my jigsaw puzzle that some little twerp has been putting together?!
[As echoed from the book, Sister stole back her clay --which Brother made into clay dinosaurs-- and rolled them up into one big lump. Brother --on the other hand-- stole back his toy trucks and planes and hid them in a high closet shelf. And Sister could not reach them. Upon continuation, Brother angrily knocks down the puzzle pieces, everything tumbling down the floor.]
You no-good rat! I've been working on that puzzle for two weeks!
BBBrother Bear
What about my clay dinosaurs?! I was working on them for a school project!
[walking to him] Oh, yeah?! Well, my clay is my clay and you have absolutely no right!
BBBrother Bear
I have every right! You're always using my stuff: my skateboard, my hockey stick, my...
Never mind about your stuff, you no-good sword head!
BBBrother Bear
You're the sword head, you little silly nit-wit! Why I oughta!
You just shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!
BBBrother Bear
WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?!
What in the world is going on up there?! I want that shouting stopped this instant! UNDERSTAND?!
It's all his fault! He called me names!
BBBrother Bear
All my fault?! It's all her fault!
[in frustration] I don't care whose fault it is! [Brother and Sister go down the stairs] I want this fighting and bickering stopped! Stop... [leaning to them] ...you hear?! [Papa, Brother, and Sister Bear then argue at each other] WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS?! FAMILY FEUD?! I WANT THE NOISE STOPPED! STOP, YOU HEAR?!
[Mama whistles to stop them.]
I didn't know you whistle that loud, Mama.
Well, I can. And I can also tell you that I've had quite enough of this foolish fighting. Why, I don't think you two even remember what you're fighting about.
[Mama picks up the cubs, sits down on her armchair, and hugs Brother and Sister on her lap.]
[Regarding to Brother's clay dinosaurs...!]
[from the flashback] YOUR DINOSAURS, THEY LOOK STUPID ANYWAY!
[Cut to reality.]
[apologizes to Brother for wrecking his clay dinosaurs] I am sorry that I ruined your dinosaurs. I can help you make new ones if you like.
BBBrother Bear
[smiles] Well? Okay.
[Sister apologizes to Brother for wrecking his clay dinosaurs. Even though she still wrecked them and they are still broken, Brother forgives her anyway. That is, even though it was on purpose and even though she still did it. But when Sister says she will help him build new clay dinosaurs, Brother forgives her and accepts her apology.]
[Sister and Lizzy pretend that they are playing pretend school. That is, pretend first grade. As Lizzy --who pretends to be the first grade teacher-- teaches the alphabet to the pretend preschool class, the pretend school pointer Lizzy has is revealed to be a stick or twig. Echoed from the book, Lizzy she had a pointer stick in one hand and a piece of chalk in the other.]
LLizzy
Please be seated Sister. It's time for your lessons. First, I'm going to teach you the alphabet. The first letter of the alphabet is "A".
[Lizzy --with the piece of chalk in the right hand-- writes a capital "A" on the pretend chalk board. That is, as she --in the left hand-- holds the pointer stick. Before she can ask the class if any of them know what the second letter of the alphabet is, Sister --pretending to be one of her "pretend students"-- interrupts Lizzy --who is the "pretend teacher"-- wants to have the pointer and be the teacher.]
Now just a minute! Who said you were going to be the teacher?! When I play school, I'm the teacher! And not only that! I already know the alphabet!
LLizzy
[to Sister] Sister Bear, if you don't sit down this minute, I'm going to keep you after school!
Is that so? [poking with her finger on Lizzy's belly] Well, if you don't give me that pointer, I'm going to keep you after school!
[Sister grabs the pointer from Lizzy. They both wrestle for the pointer stick. All of a sudden, the stick snaps in half. Then the scene turns to Sister and Lizzy. And they each have a half of the stick --as Sister had broken it.]
LLizzy
NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID! YOU BROKE MY POINTER! (AND IT IS TOTALED!)
[That is what Lizzy says to Sister after Sister broke and totaled her pointer. In fact, Sister broke --and totaled-- it beyond repair.]
HERE! KEEP YOUR OLD POINTER!
[Sister throws the pointer stick down in front of Lizzy's feet.]
I'M NEVER GOING TO PLAY WITH YOU AGAIN!
LLizzy
NEVER IS TOO SHORT FOR ME!
GOOD! THEN I AM GOING TO TAKE MY DOLLS AND GO HOME!
LLizzy
Sister's mad, and I'm glad!
LLizzy
Sister's mad, and I'm glad!
I'm never going to play with that Lizzy Bruin again! She's much too braggy and bossy!
[Sister and Lizzy make up for the fight yesterday.]
LLizzy
[to Sister] Here's your doll back. You can be the teacher as many times as you want.
[to Lizzy for a better idea] Or we can take turns.
[But even though Sister still broke and totaled Lizzy's pointer stick, she and Lizzy bury the hatchet. Sister's idea does sound great though. Her idea is taking turns being the kindergarten/first grade teacher.]
