TiggerFirst for all, you move into a new house. Nah. It's got to be a big old house. [the house starts to grow] What? You call that big? [the house grows] With a 200-car garage, and a tree with a swing and a garden full a daffodils, and a couple of pink flamingos and a mailbox made to match. And last but not least, and off-white pickety fence.
TiggerThis is ridikkerous! I don't want to be a scotch pine.
Oh, I do wish Tigger were here. Perhaps he could think of something.
TiggerHey! Maybe I am a Tigger!
No, I'm afraid he's the only one, and he has stripes.
Ooh, um... Couldn't we paint stripes on him? [Pooh smiles]
I'm Winnie the Pooh, but you can call me...
[laughs] Oh, that's priceless! A Pooh named Winnie?! [laughs]
TiggerDon't look now, but I think this ape's one banana short of a bunch.
Me? Can I bounce? [does so]
TiggerNot bad. For a beginner. But how about this? [smashes his head into the ceiling] This is embarrassing.
Hmph. Grandstanding if you ask me. Uh, how are you at horticulture?
Horsey what?
Ha. Just as I suspected. You know nothing about gardening.
[laughs] I didn't just fall off the carrot truck! You want gardening? I'll show you gardening. [does so deftly]
[hanging upside down using suction cup shoes] I feel like a... like a graceful bird.
TiggerDuck!
No, not a duck. Like a... a swan.
TiggerNo! Duck!
[ducks from the boomerang] I hope these strings are double knotted.
TiggerWell of course they are... What's a knot?
[falls] Tigger!
I-I don't think I want that honey after all, Tigger.
TiggerOh come on, bunny boy. Can't you hear that old bookend calling? [throwing his voice] Rabbit!
Alright, alright. What do I have to do?
Tigger(angrily) Hey. What’s all the commotion?
Tigger? Oh, Tigger, we’ve all let down poor Papa Heffalump!
TiggerDid you say you’ve all let down Papa Heffalump? (to Piglet) Piglet, listen to me. It’s not true. It is not true. You’re upset, Bunny Boy’s upset. Buddy Bear Pooh Boy’s Upset and Gopher’s upset with Junior too. Now listen to me. I have something to say to you. When you blow up a sneeze and get upset with Junior and your friends and hurt everyone's feelings, there’s only one thing to do. Destroy the trap and give them a lesson about allergies. (to a sad Pooh and Piglet) Don’t worry, Buddy Bear and Piglet, I have a proof plan to trick them. To teach him a lesson about bad goofing off. Teaching them is what Tiggers do best.
(stops crying) Really, Tigger?
Tigger[preparing to push Eeyore on a swing, predictably too hard] Ready?
No, but go ahead anyway.
Tigger[laughs] Now you're getting the hang of it, Buddy Bird! It's just like flying, only using your legs.
I say, what a wonderful feeling to be elevated back to my natural habitat. [takes a deep breath] Ah, to breathe the clean, fresh air. To gaze across the...
[Unfortunately, Gopher's hole is there, and one of Owl's stilts falls into it, sending Owl plummeting down the hole, screaming. He then crashes into the ground with a thud]
TiggerWhoops!
Ouch.
Helmet! Is that you?
[Camera pans right to reveal Tigger. He shrieks, blowing out the candle. Pooh relights the candle]
Hello, Tigger. I didn't expect to see you down here.
TiggerI came to rescue you, buddy bear. I thought you might be lost!
I'm not lost! I'm right where I'm standing! Unfortunately, where I'm standing may be lost.
[A rumbling noise is heard]
TiggerWhat's that? What's that?!
[Pooh turns around and finds Eeyore behind him. Eeyore shrieks next, blowing out the candle]
Hello, Eeyore. Have you come to rescue me, as well?
[Another rumbling noise is heard. Pooh turns around and finds Rabbit behind him. Rabbit gasps, but Pooh blows out his own candle before Rabbit shrieks]
Hello, Rabbit! If you're lost, you've come to the right place!
TiggerYes, because of buddy bear taking Gopher's helmet, we're gonna be down here forever!
Or longer.
Tigger': [looks for Eeyore] Eeyore just needs to be put in his place as the bouncee, not the bouncer. And I'm just the Tigger to do it! Tally-hoo!
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo! [bounces and tackles Tigger]
Tigger[Annoyed] How humiloratin'! Out bounced by a donkey!
Do you wanna play with me, Tigger?
Tigger[Pushes Eeyore off, angry] No! I don't ever want to play with you again! Never ever! Why, why, you're a menace! Imagine going about bouncing helpless Tiggers like me!
[Tigger replaces Piglet's flower with Roo]
My rhododendron!
TiggerIt's a Roo-dodendron now.
[giggles] I flew Rabbie!
You what?
Oh yes! Aren't you proud of me?
TiggerYay!
Oh, now I can fly south!
TiggerHey, that's right you soloed! Oh boy, kiddo! There's nothing holding you down now.
Don't you think I know?
[Rabbit sadly walks away and a deflated Kessie hugs Pooh. Cut to Rabbit's house later in the evening]
Rabbie? Um, Rabbie? Could you read me one last bedtime story?
You mean... before you... leave?
Oh no, I didn't mean that, I meant...
You don't need me to read you a bedtime story. You don't need me... for anything.
[Rabbit exits and shuts the door. Kessie sits in a rocking chair by the fire and starts crying]
[cries as Tigger and Roo are sleeping under the bed] I just know something awful's happened to Roo.
I'm sure he's okay.
I just I knew where Roo was. [as Roo wakes up]
Hey, Tigger, when can we come out? [he crawls out of bed] I'm tired of hidin'.
He's never been out this late before. [sobs]
Oh, don't cry, mama. You see? I'll let you find me!
[gasps] Oh, Roo! Oh! [she hugs him and Roo hugs Christopher Robin]
Tigger[yawns as he comes out of bed] What's all the commotion? Oh, finally found us, huh? [laughs slowly and sleepily] That was your turn to be it. Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo...
TiggerHelp! We're sinking! Abandon ship! Tiggers and tiggers first!
But what about piglets?
TiggerUh, Piglets? Why... it's their duty as captains to go down with their ships.
Oh dear. Are you sure?
TiggerAbsotutely posilutely.
Then my last command as, as captain is uh... Tigger, you're captain.
TiggerAnd as captain of this ship, I hereby proclaim you captain.
No, you are.
TiggerYou are.
