Luna: Well, Bear, it seems to me that maybe the whole Big Blue House is your most extra-special, favorite place. It's your home, after all.

Bear: Wow, Luna. When you're right, you're right.

Luna: What can I say? I'm the moon.

Ojo: Uh-oh. Bear. Bear!

Bear: Yes, Ojo?

Ojo: You're in the water.

Bear: Oh! Uh, sorry. I'm in the water.

---

Bear: Anyway, before you got here, Ojo and I were playing with some water. See? Water. Mm-hmm. I'm so curious. Why is it so wet? And why does everybody drink it? And how come you can see right through it?

---

Tutter: Oh, great Gouda. Oh, Brie. I'll never get the water I need.

---

Bear: Sometimes, Tutter is so determined, he forgets to ask for a little help. Um, are you sure there isn't something I could do maybe to lift your spirits?

Tutter: No, no.

Bear: Or raise your outlook?

---

Pip and Pop: Bye bye, Bear. Bye bye, Tutter. [disappear through the sink]

Bear: [does a take] Huh?

Tutter: [to Pip and Pop] See ya.

Bear: How do those two do that?

[fairy dust opens on a silhouette pipe with the trees and the house underneath]

Shadow: ♪ The Itsy Bitsy Spider Went Up the Water Spout ♪

[next shot shows a gray cloud alongside the rooftop and the chimney]

Spider: I'm coming. I'm coming. [he makes his way] I made it! I'm the king of the roof! [laughs]

[Out of nowhere, a bird flies down. The spider hides in his usual spot. The bird turns away from it.]

Spider: Can't catch me, can't catch me!

[The bird turns back as the spider ducks down. The bird turns once more, and flies away. The spider laughs joyfully.]

[segment opens on five happy chimps on a bed as Shadow practices a nursery rhyme about subtraction]

Shadow: ♪ Five little monkeys jumping on the bed ♪

Monkey Doctor: [his finger wiggles slowly] No more monkeys jumping on the bed, and take two aspirin and call me in the morning.

Shadow: ♪ So two little monkeys were jumping on the bed ♪
♪ One fell off and bumped his head, Papa called the doctor ♪

Papa Monkey: [stressed] Hey, Doc; my monkeys! Will they be okay?

Shadow: ♪ And the doctor said ♪

Monkey Doctor: No more monkeys jumping on the bed and that is my professional opinion!

Shadow: ♪ Just one little monkey jumping on the bed ♪
♪ One fell off and bumped his head, Mama called the doctor ♪ [This upsets Mama Monkey]

Mother Monkey: [sad mood] Oh, Doc. My poor, little monkeys.

Shadow: ♪ And the doctor said ♪

Monkey Doctor: Put those monkeys right to bed!

[Shadow practices her "do-do-do" actions as the monkeys were fast asleep]

Papa Monkey: Our, poor little monkeys.

Mother Monkey: We love them so!

Papa Monkey: Yeah.

Ojo: No! Stop that! Stop blowing on her!

Bear: [unaware] It's not easy to let other people play with your stuff, is it?

---

Bear: "Sharing". [the word "Sharing" appears colored in orange] That's what you do with a friend! Or, well...with anybody. And you can share all kinds of stuff. Like...a favorite toy: like a sailboat. [a cartoon boat appears] Or, a ball. [a cartoon ball appears, jumping in front of him] Or, you could even share your favorite book. [a cartoon book appears, the image has the cover of a teddy bear holding a fishing pole sitting on an edge] Or other stuff, like... [gasps, whispers] honey sandwiches! Oh, [a cartoon honeypot appears and the spoon dips it inside the pot] there is nothing like taking a big spoonful of honey and spreading it all over a nice piece of whole wheat bread! [the spoon with honey covers up the whole screen and licks them all] Sorry. I got carried away. Bears love honey.

---

Bear: [notices the water in the flowers is missing] Wait a minute. I forgot the water. And flowers do need water! Let's go to the kitchen.

[fairy dust opens on a sheep in a blank background]

Shadow: ♪ Baa Baa Black Sheep ♪
♪ Have you any wool ♪

Black Sheep: [impersonates Shadow's singing voice] ♪ Yes, sir! Yes, sir! Three bags full! ♪

[some numbers displayed on the bags]

Shadow: ♪ There's one for the master ♪ [A bearded man with hat enters]

Master: Thanks, Black Sheep. [lifts the bag of wool up] Now I can really gather some wool.

Shadow: ♪ Then one for the dame ♪

Dame: Oh; thank you, Black Sheep. [grabs the bag of wool] I'm going to knit a sweater!

Shadow: ♪ And one for the little boy who lives down the lane ♪

Little Boy: Thank you, Black Sheep. [grabs the bag of wool as well] I'm going to make a really cool ninja outfit out of this!

[This causes the sheep to shake.]

Black Sheep: Brr! I'm cold! [shudders]

Shadow: ♪ Baa Baa Black Sheep ♪
♪ Have you any wool? ♪

Ojo: [very sad] We were having so much fun pretending to fly, I thought maybe, just maybe, I really could fly. And, and...I CAN'T!

Shadow: ♪ Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall ♪

Humpty Dumpty: Yeah, man! It's real cool up here hanging out, checking out the scenery...playing my bongos!

♪ And all the King's men couldn't put Humpty together again ♪

Knight: [angrily] Well of course we can't put him back together again! [raises his finger points at the horse] Have you ever seen a horse trying to do anything back together? That's absolutely ridiculous how they can't even hold onto the glue pot!

[as the horse tries to pick up the pot of glue]

Knight: [very angry that the horse dropped the glue] That's it! I'm leaving and I'm not going to weld responsibly for this mess! [leaves, the horse picks up a lump of sugar & neighs] No, I will not come back to work for a lump of sugar! Goodbye! [leaves as Shadow starts humming]

Horse: [heartbroken and cradles one of the egg's broken pieces] Oh, Humpty.

Bear: [since he loved the word "Fall" with a picture of Autumn leaves] It's my favorite time of year. Well along with spring, summer and winter...but in the fall, the air gets nice and crisp and clean, like the bite of an apple. [an animated apple appears] Apples are ripe in the fall! [some animated apples appear in front of him] And when you squeeze them together, you can make apple cider. [the apples transform into apple cider] I love a nice glass of cider! Don't you? Plus in the fall, pumpkins get picked. [an animated pumpkin appears] And they make great Jack-o'-lanterns and pumpkin pie. [a piece of pumpkin pie appears] Plus in the fall, kids of all shapes and sizes go back to school. [an animated school bus appears in front of him] But best of all, I love all the colors! I think I'm falling for fall!

---

Tutter: [as Bear's foot is blocking the pumpkin] Well, it's nice to see you, too, Bear, very nice, but I don't mean to complain; Bear, I don't want to complain, but your big old foot, it's kind of in my way!

Bear: Oh, sorry. [his foot moves out of the way]

Peter: Hey, that's a good idea! [chuckles]

Peter: After you, dear.

Peter's Wife: Oh, me in my big mouth.

Bear: [after the word "Summer" appeared on a cartoon sandcastle] It's my favorite season, well along with fall, winter and spring. But I was thinking, there's so many great things to do to in the summer...like... [he thinks for a split second] you can sit in a hammock and swing. [an animated hammock appears with two trees] Or just lie in the grass... [some grass appears] Or even splash around in swimming pools and ponds! [runs as animated water appears] And summer also means lots and lots of ice cream. [an animated ice cream cone appears]

[Some cartoon scoops of ice cream began to melt away.]

Bear: [excitingly] Isn't summer time the best? What's not to like about summer?

Bear: Me, I'm just a Bear who likes to play checkers. [he thinks for a person who plays checkers] I wonder who else would like to play a game?

[All of the kids run around, but Ojo kept blocking the others for a place to hide. They ran away except Ojo.]

Tutter: [offscreen] I'm afraid! I'm afraid!

Bear, Ojo and Treelo: Huh?

Tutter: [holding Kitty] Yeah. I'm really, really afraid! [whimpering and glups]

Bear: Oh! Hi, Tutter.

Tutter: "Hi"? Is that all you can say? "Hi"? The whole sky is falling down around us, and-and making lots of loud awful noises and all you could say is "hi"? Oh!

Bear: Tutter, I can understand. Storms can be scary, sometimes but, believe me, we're safe and sound inside. There's nothing to be afraid of.

[The lighting flashes, causing a blackout in the living room. Tutter gasps and Treelo and Ojo scream]

Bear: Guys, guys. It's okay. It's okay. Look. I have my trusty Bearcraft flashlight.

Ojo: Huh? [Bear turns on the flashlight] Oh!

Bear: See?

Ojo: Hey, you guys, oh, look, Bear's got a flashlight.

Treelo: Hello, flashlight.

Ojo: Yeah.

Bear: Yeah. See, Tutter? [moves the flashlight to the floor, but Tutter was not there]

Ojo: Hey, where's Tutter?

Treelo: Hey.

Ojo: Tutter?

Bear: Tutter?

Treelo: Tutter?

Ojo: Tutter?

Treelo Tutter, where'd you… [Tutter's tail appears from the coffee table] Hey, look! Tutter. [laughs]

Bear: Oh, Tutter!

Tutter: Huh?

Bear: Tutter, it's okay. Sometimes in a storm, the lights do go out, but sometimes they come back on again really soon.

Tutter: R-R-Really?

Bear: Really. And as long as I have my flashlight, everything's okay.

Tutter: Well, okay, Bear, okay. But, you know, a little noise to a big old bear like you can be an awful lot of noise for a little, bitty mouse like…

[He saws something and gasps in shock. He sputters in fear]

Bear: Tutter?

Ojo: Bear?

Bear: Tutter?

Ojo: What's wrong with Tutter?

Treelo: Yeah. [gasps] Look! Look!

[The camera moves backwards which appears to be Tutter's shadow on the wall that Tutter was afraid of it]

Tutter: Bear! [stammers] It's… it's… IT'S A GIANT MOUSE!!! [screaming]

Bear: Tutter, Tutter, it's okay. It's just your shadow.

Tutter: What? What?

Bear: It's the shadow, that the flashlight is making on you.

Tutter: [stammers] Me? [stammering] Really?

Bear: Yes. If you move your tail, the tail on the shadow will move, too.

Tutter: Yeah? [wags his tail] Wha-? Hey! Hey, yeah! It is me! Hey. [the lights went back on again]

Treelo: Hey! The lights!

Ojo: Yay! The lights are back! [Bear nods to the viewer]

Tutter: Hey, where'd the giant Tutter go? [turns to the camera in confusion]

Tutter: [climbing up the stairs to find Treelo and Ojo in a game of hide-and-seek] Okay, now, Bear said there's nothing to be afraid of. Heh. Nothing to be afraid of in the Big Blue House. [grunts and laughs] Ojo, Treelo, where are you guys?

[In the bedroom, Pip and Pop used a purple flower sheet to pretend as a monster]

Pip: Hey, that's Tutter.

Pop: Oh. He'll love this. Come on.

Pip: Yeah! [giggles]

Tutter: I-I wonder if they're in the bedroom. Uh, [Pip and Pop start moaning] where are you guys? You know, I'm not sure I feel like playing anymo…

[He sees Pip and Pop in the sheet and gasps in shock. He slowly turns to the camera in horror]

Pip and Pop: Beware! We are the two-headed purple flower monster! Beware!

Tutter: [to the viewer] There's a two-headed purple flower monster! [screams]

[He runs back down the stairs]

Pip and Pop: [laughing]

Pop: Hey, do you think he liked it?

Pip: I don't know, let's go ask him.

Pop: Yeah.

Bear: [enters the living room with his flashlight and candles and looks around] Hey, where'd everybody go? [Ojo and Treelo appear]

Ojo: Hey, Bear, have you seen Tutter? We were playing hide-and-go-seek and while he was supposed to find us and, well, now we can't find him.

Treelo: Tutter.

Ojo: Tutter?

Bear: I'm sorry, Ojo, I don't know. In fact, I haven't even seen Tutt… [Tutter pops up from a flowerpot] …er!

Tutter: [screams]

Tutter and Bear: [scream]

Bear: Tutter, you scared me.

Ojo: Y-Yeah, Tutter.

Treelo: [nodding] Yeah.

Bear: Tutter, what are you doing hiding in there?

Treelo: Hm.

Ojo: Yeah, Tutter, we're the ones that are supposed to be hiding [Treelo nods] and you're supposed to be seeking.

Treelo: Yeah.

Tutter: But-But there's a two-headed purple flower monster up in Bear's bedroom and it almost got me!

Ojo: That's silly, Tutter.

Ojo and Treelo: [laughing]

Tutter: But-but-but Ojo, Treelo, really, there, there… [Pip and Pop appear behind the couch with the purple flower sheet. Tutter gasps in shock and sputters]

Bear: Tutter?

Ojo: Tutter?

Tutter: [stammers] THERE! [hides in the flowerpot]

Bear: Huh?

Pip and Pop: [moaning]

[Everyone, except Bear, scream in horror and hide]

Ojo: B-B-B-But Bear-Bear, I thought that you said that there was [stammers] no such as thing [stammering] monsters?

Treelo: [gibberish]

Bear: [to the viewer] There are no such thing as monsters, but I think I know who this two-headed purple flower monster is. Do you know who it is?

Pip and Pop: Beware! The two-headed purple flower monster has come! [Bear pulls the sheet up, revealing Pip and Pop] Beware! The two-headed purple flower monster wants…

Pip: Uh…

Pop: Uh…

Pip: Uh…

Pip and Pop: …you.

Treelo and Ojo: Pip and Pop?

Tutter: You mean that-that two-headed purple flower monster was Pip and Pop all along?

Pop: Yeah, pretty good trick, huh?

Pip: Did you like it, Tutter? [Pop chuckles]

Tutter: Like it? Like it? You scared me! You scared me! I didn't "like" it at all. Not one little bit! [angrily looks away from Pip and Pop] Hmph!

Pop: But, Tutter, we were just playing.

Pip: Yeah, we were just having some fun. [chuckles]

Tutter: [looking at Pip and Pop a little bit and looks away from them again] Hmph!

Pop: Bear?

Pip and Pop: What's with Tutter?

Bear: Well, guys, sometimes what might be a funny joke or a trick to you, well, to somebody else, it can be really scary. [Tutter nods]

Pip and Pop: Huh.

Bear: See? Tutter thought there really was a two-headed purple flower monster [Tutter nods again] and he was afraid. [Ojo nods]

Pop: But, Bear, we were just playing.

Pip: Yeah.

Bear: Well, let me ask you this.

Pop: What?

Bear: How would you feel if you there really was a two-headed [Tutter nods again] purple flower monster in the house?

Pip and Pop: [gasp]

Pip: Oooh! That's scary!

Pop: Really scary!

Pip: Well, I don't even want to think about that.

Pop: Oh, yea…

Pip: Oh, that wou…

[They realize their mistake]

Pip: Huh.

Pop: Oooh.

Both: We're sorry, Tutter.

Pip: Really…

Pop: …really…

Both: …sorry.

Tutter: Well, well, o-okay. I-I guess. [chuckles] I really wasn't that afraid, you know.

[He, Pip and Pop laugh as Bear nods. The lighting flashes, causing another blackout in the living room]

Treelo: Oh?

Ojo: Hey.

Pop: Hey!

Ojo and Tutter: The lights went out again!

Treelo: [gibberish]

Ojo: Oh, no.

Tutter: Bear?

Ojo: It's going to get really scary again.

Bear: It's okay, it's okay, remember? I have my flashlight.

Tutter: Little? Little bug? Heh. Well, it may be to a big old bear like you, but to a mouse, they're giants. [to the viewer] GIANTS I TELL YOU!

Bear: Well, Tutter, I can understand why you're worried but…

Tutter: Yeah, I'm worried, Bear. Those bugs with their pinchers, and crazy wiggling antennas and the wings fluttering. [wriggles]

Bear: Tutter. Tutter, Tutter. Breathe in.

Tutter: [inhales]

Bear: Breathe out.

Tutter: [exhales]

Bear: Now, Tutter, the bug is way out at the Otter Pond and you're in here.

Tutter: Oh, you don't think these bugs like I do, Bear. One minute they're out there. And the next minute they're right in your face eating all your food! [whimpers] Just don't let Ojo bring it in the house, Bear, okay?

Bear: Okay, Tutter, I'll tell her.

Tutter: [sighs]

Bear: [to the viewer] Some of us don't like to be around bugs but, that’s okay, too.

Tutter: Yeah.

Ojo: Aw, Bear, we looked everywhere a bug could be.

Treelo: Yeah, no bug.

Bear: Hmm. I wonder where she went?

Tutter: [offscreen] Bear! Bear!

Bear: Oh. That sounds like Tutter.

[He, Ojo and Treelo gasp, realizing that Tutter may have a lead on the bug]

Bear, Ojo and Treelo: The bug!

Bear: Let's go.

Ojo: Okay.

[She, Bear and Treelo enter the kitchen]

Bear: Tutter?

Treelo: Tutter?

Bear: Tutter?

Ojo: Tutter?

Bear: [to the viewer] Where's Tutter?

Ojo: [noticing Tutter was not at his mousehole and gasps] He's gone.

Treelo: Oh, no.

Bear: Well, he was right there when I left him.

Tutter: I'm over here.

Bear: Huh?

[The camera moves towards the door, where Tutter and the bug is]

Tutter: [chuckles]

Treelo: Hey.

Tutter: I'm over here, guys. Come on. I've got someone I want you to meet. [chuckles]

Ojo: Don't worry, Tutter, she won't hurt you.

Tutter: It's okay, Ojo. It's okay.

Ojo: Yeah?

Tutter: Yeah.

Bear: But Tutter, aren't you afraid of the bug?

Treelo: Yeah.

Tutter: Why be scared of a friend?

Bear, Ojo and Treelo: A friend?

Tutter: [chuckles] Yeah. I must admit I was a little scared at first. But then I noticed that she was chewing on this weed here. I-It's a weed from my tomato garden. And, as you all know, these weeds are very bad for my garden. But hey. This bug loves weeds. Huh? Huh? Huh?

Bear: That's one of the great things about bugs. [to the viewer] This bug loves to eat weeds and that helps our gardens to grow.

Tutter: [nodding] Mm-hm.

Ojo: Aw. See, I told you she was a friend.

Tutter: [nodding] Yeah. Oh, oh! And by the way, her name is Bertha.

Ojo: Oh.

Treelo: Hm.

Ojo: Well…

Ojo and Treelo: Hello, Bertha.

Bear: Hello, Bertha.

Tutter: Oh. What's that, Bertha? [listens to Bertha] Uh-huh. She says she misses her… her log?

Ojo: Oh. Well, um, that's where she lives.

Treelo: Oh, yeah.

Bear: Yeah. And bugs do belong outside. [to the viewer] Hey, do you want to help us to take her back to the pond?

Ojo, Tutter and Treelo: Yeah!

Bear: Yeah.

Bear, Tutter, Ojo and Treelo: To the pond!

Tutter: [chuckles]

Bear: [to the viewer] Come on.

[Outside, Ojo places Bertha on the log]

Ojo: There you go, Bertha. You're home.

Treelo and Tutter: Aw.

Bear: Nice job, Ojo.

Tutter: Yeah.

Ojo: I'm going to miss her, Bear.

Bear: Well, Ojo, you can come visit her anytime you want. [Pip and Pop appear behind Bear]

Pip and Pop: Hey, guys.

Tutter: Oh.

Bear, Ojo, Treelo and Tutter: Hey, Pip and Pop.

Pip and Pop: Whatcha doing?

Ojo: Uh, we were just bringing Bertha home.

Treelo: Yeah.

Pip and Pop: Ohhh. So, ya like bugs, do ya?

Treelo: Yeah, I love bugs.

Ojo: Yeah.

Tutter: Well, I like Bertha anyway.

Pop: Hm. Should we show them, Pip?

Pip: I think we can, Pop.

Bear: Show us what?

Pip: Just maybe the coolest bug thing of all.

Pop: That's all.

Tutter: Oh, wow! Show us! Show us!

Bear: Yeah. Let's see, right?

Pip and Pop: Right this way. [giggling] It's over here. Tutter!

[They show Bear, Tutter, Ojo and Treelo a pupa on a branch]

Bear: Ooh.

Tutter: Oh, great. A bump on the branch. Hey, that's a show.

Bear: This is called a pupa. It's a bug egg sack, and inside is a…

Pip and Pop: Don't spoil it, Bear.

Bear: Oops, sorry, guys.

Pip and Pop: Watch.

[Something begins to emerge from the pupa]

Treelo: What's happening?

Tutter: I-It's moving.

Treelo: [gibberish]

Ojo: Oh, look.

Tutter: What's it coming out?

[A monarch butterfly emerges]

Treelo: Oh, look!

Ojo: Oh, wow.

Treelo: What a beautiful butterfly.

Tutter: Hey, I like this bug too. It's so small.

Bear: [to Pip and Pop] Nice discovery, guys.

Pop: Thank you. Thank you very much.

Tutter, Treelo and Ojo: Ohhh.

Bear: Aah.

Pip and Pop: We love watching the butterflies.

I ordered a clock in the shape of a bear. [begins opening the package] This is going to be so neat. Wait till you see this. This is a clock shaped [drumroll] just like a…

[He pulls a out a clock, which is similar to the design of Kit-Cat Klock, in the shape of a shunk from the package]

Bear: …skunk? It's a… it's a skunk clock. Wait a minute. This isn't right. What does this say here? [picks up the card] Um… Uh, [reads] "Congratulations on receiving your 'The Skunk Clock.' It is sure to add skunky charm to your home." They made a mistake. They sent me the wrong clock. Um… well, I mean… that's okay… maybe, maybe this'll work out. I mean, skunks are good too, [lens up the skunk clock to the viewers] right? Let's see. Where should we hang this? [walks to the kitchen table] Um… here? [looks at the floor] Um, down here? [looks at the wall where the apple clock is] Hey! How about up here? Yeah. That's a good spot. Okay. [puts the skunk clock on the kitchen bench] So we'll put this down and take down the apple clock.

Bear: Suddenly, I'm a little sleepy. Um, I think I'll go take a nap for a few minutes. I'll be back. [exits the kitchen]

Tutter: Oh, hickory dickory! [the camera pans down to him] What is making that noise. It's… [scoffs] Gee whiz… [he is seen holding Kitty and his blanket] How can a mouse take a nap around here with all this ticking and tocking! Bear! Who is making all that noise? Bear?

[He looks around and saws Bear's skunk clock]

Tutter: [founds the problem] Aha! [turns around; to the viewer] Look at that. Will you? [growls]

[He storms off inside his mousehole and runs upstairs offscreen to the top shelf]

Tutter: Humph. Now let me see, go up the stairs here… up the left… up the right… [panting] Boy, lot more stairs than I remember from last time. Oh, trying to take a look. Now, where is that… where could… oh, yeah! Ahem. Um, excuse me, Mr., um, Skunk. Um, I know you must be a guest of Bear's and I-I hate to be rude… but would you mind terribly, I mean, would you terribly mind, wou-- would you ju… [shouting] OH, WOULD YOU JUST BE QUIET?!?

Tutter: Just stop it! Stop it! [gasping]

Bear: Tutter? Tutter! Tutter! Take it easy. Now, breathe in… [Tutter deeply breathes in] Breathe out. [Tutter exhales and gulps in horror] Now, Tutter, tell me what happened?

Tutter: [mumbling] Well, th-this skunk-this skunk, Bear, [Bear looks confused] i-is-is scaring me. HE'S SCARING ME!! [gasping]

Bear: Skunk? Wh--? Oh, you mean my new skunk clock?

Tutter: Clock? I don't know anything about a clock. All I know is that skunk won't even answer me, Bear. And those eyes. Those eyes! [goes crazy]

Bear: No. No. Tutter, Tutter, take it easy. See, it's not a real skunk, it's a clock - in the shape of a skunk.

Tutter: Huh?

Bear: Yes. It's a clock. See? The numbers.

Tutter: I-I guess I do see the numbers, Bear, but… that's a strange skunk!

Bear: Tell you what, Tutter. Why don't you come on down and I'll show you something. Okay?

Tutter: Oh. Okay, Bear, but I don't know what there is to see.

Shadow: ♪ But a favorite Halloween thing to do ♪

♪ Is to go trick-or-treating with you ♪

Girl in Witch Costume: Trick or treat! Give us something to eat!

Bear: Well, as I was saying, today is Ojo's birthday! And we have a lot of things planned for her, including a party! She knows all about it! Except [looks around, whispers softly] she doesn't know that Ursa is coming to the party.

Shadow: ♪ 17 times as high as the moon ♪

Witch: Hello, moon!

Shadow: ♪ But where she was going, no one could tell ♪

♪ For under her arm, she carried a broom ♪

♪ Old woman, old woman said I ♪

Witch: Who are you calling "old woman"?

Shadow: ♪ Wither-O, wither so high ♪

Witch: [focusing the cobwebs in the background with a silhouette broom she's holding] To sweep the cobwebs from the sky, I'll be with you by and by. But I don't do windows!

Bear: Numbers help us keep track of things by counting them. [animated toys appear] For example, you count how many toys you have... [he counts] One, two-two toys. Two toys. [an animated house appears with the letter Y] And the number on Y, our house tells you where you live. [an animated ruler appears] And you are-a certain number of inches tall. [an animated cake appears with five candles] And the number of candles on your birthday cake, tell how old you are. Are you two years old? Or three? Four? Five years old? [chuckles] Or are you older? See your age is an important number to know, too. Yup. Numbers. They are everywhere!

Bear: You know, when you have something that's all your own that can be very special; but sometimes, it's even nicer to share. [an animated hand appears, revealing seven blue letters] "Sharing". [views the word "Sharing" on the bottom side of the screen] Sharing is not always easy, but it's a big part of life. Because there are so many things you can share. Like, for example, you can share a snack with a friend! [an animated sandwich appears, making it half; crunching sounds are heard] Or you can share a toy. [a fire truck appears, passing in front of him] And there's lots of things that's easy to share, like a smile! [an animated smile from "I've Got Your Number" appears as well] Yeah. Sharing is great. And the best part about sharing is you are making two people happy; the person you're sharing with, and you!

---

Bear: Well, I think I shall have myself another snack. [opens the lid] I'll just reach into the... cookie jar and... [realizes there are no more cookies inside the apple-shaped cookie jar] Whoops! Looks like I'm out of cookies. I must have given my last one away. Well, um, okay. I guess I'll have a snack later. But right now, what should I do? [This gave himself an idea] I know, berry picking! I'll just find my old berry picking bucket. [grabs out a bucket] Aha! Here it is! Now we're getting somewhere!

Bear: [to Pip & Pop over the clam expedition] Hold it, guys, guys, guys. Instead of arguing, I think there's a way we can do this. We're you both satisfied?

Shadow: ♪ There's one for the Master ♪ [a bearded man with hat appears]

Master: Thanks, Black Sheep. [lifts the bag of wool up] Now I can really gather some wool.

Shadow: ♪ Then one for the dame ♪

Dame: Oh, thank you Black Sheep. [lifts the bag of wool up] I'm going to knit a sweater!

Shadow: ♪ And one for the little boy who lives down the lane ♪

Little Boy: Thank you, Black Sheep. [carries the bag of wool as well] I'm going to make a really cool ninja outfit out of this.

Sheep: Brr! I'm cold! [shudders]

Bear: [after the word "Discovery" appears] Do you know what letter "Discovery" begins with? [a cartoon magnifying glass appears] "D"! That's right! A discovery is something that you never knew about before. And there are lots of ways to discover things. Like... Folks dug up bones from the ground and discovered dinosaurs. [animated bones appear, forming the shape of a dinosaur] And if you use a telescope, you can see things far, far away and you might discover a new star or planet. [an animated telescope appears, along with a group of stars] And if you look hard enough at the ground, you might discover a new bug no one's seen before. [an animated bug appears in front of him] But, you don't need to discover a new star or a planet or a dinosaur to make a discovery. If something is new to you, that is a discovery!

Christopher Columbus: Oh. Okay.

Indian: Want some potatoes?

Christopher Columbus: Sure! Er...what's a potato?

Bear: It's a whole symphony of smells! [notices something] I smell spices! [sniffs] Fruit, and... [sniffs] Tutter?

---

[the word "Smells" appears with six yellow letters]

Bear: Smells. Mm-hmm. And you use your nose to sniff smells. Sweet smells, like honey. [an animated honeypot appears] Honey. Then there are some smells that are kind of sour from food that should have been thrown away! [an animated ham appears]

[This causes the ham to rot. Bear waves his hand around the ham.]

Bear: And then there are some spicy smells that tickle your nose and make you sneeze, like pepper! [an animated pepper shaker appears]

[The pepper shaker releases little pieces in front of him. This causes Bear to sneeze. The pepper shaker slides away and the entire kitchen shakes like an earthquake.]

Bear: See. Smells are everywhere and they're with us all day long.

---

Bear: Ooo, it's definitely in here. [sniffs the books on the shelves] That's sweet but that's not it. [sniffs something else] It's definitely getting stronger over here.

Shadow: ♪ Now I have a curious story to tell ♪

♪ About a town that lost its smell ♪

♪ No bouquet of feets and toeses ♪ [silhouette feet appear in front of the flowers with some grass, the other foot has five toes colored in green]

♪ Not one whiff of Limburger cheese ♪

♪ Sniff as many skunks as you please ♪ [a skunk approaches closely to the giant human nose]

♪ No odor from a garbage can ♪

♪ No aroma from a pizza pan ♪

♪ Now isn't this the strangest story ever told? ♪

[in front of the city, the mouth talks, remaining his nose intact]

Man: Nonsense. We all just have terrible colds! [sneezes] Oh, my nose is all stuffed up. I can't smell a thing! [blows the nose itself] Ugh!

---

Bear: Ready or not, here I go again! Uh, by the way...um, how do I get out of here? Hello?

Bear: [confused] I can't say "cha-cha-cha". This is terrible. All I want is to "cha-cha-ch"...I think I lost it. Okay, okay. Let's not panic.

Bear: [picks up a black rotary telephone] My phone's ringing. But...where is he?

Pop: [shocked that Bear lost his cha-cha-cha playing the bongos] Oh, no.

Bear: Well, a little strange. I woke up one morning and I lost my cha-cha-cha.

Luna: [shocked] Oh, no.

Bear: [to the viewer] Wow. That is one little bear cub that is ready to wait. Say, have you ever had to wait for anything? Yeah. Wait.

[He begins to say "wait", but the word didn't appear]

Bear: Ahem. [the word "wait" appears] Wait. Yeah. We all have to wait but it's just a part of life. Even though sometimes it can be really hard to wait for things. [the word disappears] Like, for example, when you have to wait your turn to ride the carousel.

[Two animated carousel horses passes Bear]

Bear: Or when you have to wait for the cookies to bake. [an animated oven appears] Mmm. I can taste them already. [he taps his lips and the oven disappears] Or when you have to wait till you're a little older to have your next birthday. Now that's something worth waiting for.

[Animated balloons, presents and streamers rises]

Bear: See. No matter who you are or what you want, sooner or later, we all just have to wait.

[Bear's stomach growls.]

Bear: [to the viewer] Did you hear that? That sounded like my… [his stomach growls again] …stomach. Here. Listen.

[The camera closes up to his stomach. His stomach growls again]

Bear: Yep. That's my stomach. Has your stomach ever gone rumbly-rumbly when it's hungry? Well, let's see if we can't find this big ol' Bear a little snack. [notices the refrigerator] Hey. I'll check inside the refrigerator. [looks inside the refrigerator] Now, let's see… [Tutter appears]

Tutter: Bear!

Bear: [bumps his head] D'oh! Oof!

Tutter: Oh! [chuckles]

Bear: [rubs his head] Oh, uh, Tutter?

Tutter: Yeah.

Bear: You startled me.

Tutter: Oh, I'm sorry, Bear, very sorry, but-but would you, would you please close the freezer? O-Otherwise, my cheesy fruit pops will never get frozen. [to the viewer] Never!

Bear: Hm? Cheesy fruit pops?

Tutter: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bear, you see them? Right there in the ice cube tray.

[Bear picks up the ice cube tray with the cheesy fruit pops into shapes of triangles, squares and circles]

Bear: Oh, yeah. You're making popsicles with juice.

Tutter: Uh-huh. D-Don't they look just like little pieces of cheese? [chuckles] I just love 'em, just love 'em. [chuckles] Oh, oh! Hey, Bear, are they done yet? Are they?

Bear: Well… no, Tutter. There's still a little… juicy.

Tutter: [sighs] Okay, Bear. But I-I guess I'll just have to wait some more. [chuckles and sighs]

Bear: Okay. I'll just 'pop' them back in for you. [Tutter becomes surprise and looks at the camera]

Tutter: Pop them back in? [laughs] I get that, Bear. Pop them back in. Cheesy fruit pops. Pop them back in. Oo-hoo, oo-hoo. Ooo. Ooo. Oh, my side. [falls off the refrigerator] Uh-- Ahh! [grunts]

Bear: Tutter, are you okay?

Tutter: [chuckles] Yeah, Bear. I'm fine. [chuckles] Cheesy fruit pops.

Tutter and Bear: [chuckle]

Bear: Okay, Tutter. [Tutter looks at the refrigerator while wagging his tail] Now, let's see, where can I get a snack? Hmm… [Tutter stops wagging his tail and looks at the camera. Bear looks at the shelves] Ah.

Tutter: Bear?

Bear: Um…?

Tutter: Y-y-y-y-you think it's ready now?

Bear: Well, Tutter, we just looked.

Tutter: Oh. [sighs]

Bear: Tutter, I think you could use a… [holds out a kitchen timer (a minute minder timer from Lux Products) in his hand] timer.

Tutter: A timer? Wow! What a great idea, Bear. A timer. Who would have thought it? Look at that. Bear?

Bear: Mmm?

Tutter: What's a timer?

Bear: Oh. Well, you see, Tutter, a timer lets you know when something's done.

Tutter: Huh?

Bear: You see, you just set the timer…

Tutter: Mm-hm.

Bear: …and then when it goes ding, like this… [the timer dings, which frightens Tutter]

Tutter: D'uh! [hides behind the refrigerator and peeks his eyes]

Bear: …that's when you know that whatever it is you're waiting for is done.

Tutter: Ohhh. Okay, Bear. Boy, that sounds great!

Bear: So now, I'll just set the timer…

Tutter: Yeah.

Bear: …and when it goes ding…

Tutter: Mm-hm.

Bear: …then you know your cheesy fruit pops are ready.

Tutter: Okay, Bear. [chuckles]

Bear: Okay, Tutter. [walks off]

Tutter: Mm.

Bear: Now, let's see. What can I have a snack? Hmm. Let's see… honey? No, um, maybe some… honey and peanut butter?

[Tutter has set the timer back to zero again and it dings]

Bear: That seemed awfully quick. [walks back to the refrigerator]

Tutter: Okay, Bear! The pops are done! [chuckles] Gonna have cheesy fruit pops. [Bear picks up the timer and looks at it] Uh, cheesy fruit pops.

Bear: Um… Tutter?

Tutter: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [chuckles] Oh, yes, Bear?

Bear: Did you set the timer back to zero, again?

Tutter: Well, yeah, yeah. I guess I helped a little. [chuckles] B-B-But you said, Bear, you said, "When the timer dings, the pops are be done."

Bear: "…the pops are done." Right.

Tutter: Yes! [laughs]

Bear: Um, you see, Tutter, the thing is…

Tutter: Yeah?

Bear: …um, you have to actually wait for time to go by.

Tutter: [looking on] Ohhh. Oh! [laughs] I get that now, Bear. Okay. Time goes "by".

Bear: Right.

Tutter: Yeah.

Bear: So let me set the timer again.

Tutter: Okay.

Bear: And now, this time…

Tutter: Hm.

Bear: …when the timer actually goes ding…

Tutter: Mm-hm.

Bear: …that's when the pops will be done.

Tutter: Great. Okay, Bear.

Bear: Okay.

[He walks off, but then stops after he looks at Tutter. He looks at him again and the camera]

Bear: Um… [walks back to Tutter] Excuse me. Tutter?

Tutter: Uh, oh. Yes, Bear?

Bear: One more thing about the timer.

Tutter: Mm-hm.

Bear: You don't have to actually watch it. You can actually like, go off, scamper away, do other things, play.

Tutter: [confused] Scamper away?

Bear: Leave.

Tutter: Whoa, whoa! Now… Whoa, whoa! …hold on just a second there, Bear. Do you mean to say that-that I could be over there in my mousehole, sweeping up, o-o-or sitting in my screening room watching a movie, o-or just relaxing by the lap pool? [gasps excitedly]

Bear: [quizzically] Lap pool?

Tutter: Whoa. A-And meanwhile, outside, here in the kitchen, uh, the-the-the pops are in the freezer freezing, and I-I don't have to sit here and wait at all?

Bear: Exactly. The timer will tell you when to come back.

Tutter: Wow! Boy, howdy! What'll they think of next, huh? Okay. Wow. Thank you, Bear. Boy, I'll see you later! Boy, what an education. [chuckles and jumps off the refrigerator] Whoo!

Bear: Oh. Okay, Tutter.

Tutter: See ya, Bear.

Bear: See you later. [chuckles]

Tutter Well, so, Doctor Hogg…

Doc Hogg: Hmm?

Tutter: …what's the story?

Doc Hogg: Eh?

Tutter: Well, what's wrong with my little tail?

Doc Hogg: Tutter, I think your tail has a little fracture in it.

Tutter: [relaxed] Hm-hm, a fracture. Hm. [shocked] A FRACTURE?! [gasps] A fracture! Bear, I've got a fracture! Oh, it's worse than I thought! Oh…! Doctor Hogg, what's a fracture?

Doc Hogg: Oh. [chuckles] Well, Tutter, it's not too bad. It can happen to anyone. I'll use the x-ray machine and I'll show you.

Tutter: [surprised] An x-ray? What's that?!

Doc Hogg: [bringing in an x-ray camera] Well, I'll show you that, too. See, this is an x-ray camera. It can take a picture of the inside of you.

Tutter: What?

Doc Hogg: This time, we're taking a picture of the inside of your tail.

Tutter: Really?

Doc Hogg: Mm-hm.

Tutter: The inside of my tail?

Doc Hogg: [chuckles]

Tutter: Boy, wow! Hey, I've never seen the inside of my tail before, Bear.

Bear: I know. Me neither.

Bear, Doc Hogg, Tutter and Ojo: [chuckle]

Doc Hogg: Okay, now, if you don't mind, step back, Bear, Ojo, you too. [moves the x-ray camera towards Tutter] Give Tutter a little bit of room.

Tutter and Ojo: Okay.

Bear: Okay, Tutter. We're still here.

Doc Hogg: And in just a minute or two, we'll have…

[Cuts to a x-ray picture of the fracture in the inside of Tutter's tail on the wall]

Doc Hogg: …a picture.

Tutter: Ah.

Doc Hogg: [chuckles] Hmm? Now then, uh, Tutter, you see right there?

Tutter: Wh… You mean that little break?

Doc Hogg: Yep. That's what a fracture is. [Bear nods to the viewer]

Tutter: Ah.

Doc Hogg: A little break in one of your bones.

Tutter: Oh, okay.

Doc Hogg: If I had a dime for every time a mouse came in here with a little fracture in his tail. Well, heh-heh. I'd have a whole lot of dimes. [Bear, in confusion, Tutter and Ojo, in surprise, stare at the camera] Well, uh, because of that fracture…

Tutter: Mm-hm.

Doc Hogg: …we'll have to give you a little cast.

Tutter: [gasps softly] Hey. Hey, did you hear that, guys? I'm going to get a cast.

Bear: Yeah. [Tutter chuckles, but looks interested]

Tutter: Doctor Hogg, what's a cast?

Doc Hogg: Oh, well…

[Soon, Tutter has a cast on his tail]

Doc Hogg: See? A cast is a special hard bandage that can set your tail in the right position.

Tutter: What, you mean so it'll be straight again?

Doc Hogg: That's the idea, Tutter.

Luna: Bear, did I see a lot of little blue mice leaving your house this evening? Or were the clouds playing tricks on my eyes?

Bear: [laughs] No, Luna. There were a lot of mice today. It was the Tutter Family Reunion!

[In the kitchen, Bear sips a cup of hot cocoa]

Bear: Aaah. [to the viewer] You know, I'm still doing things a little differently today. Instead of having my usual cup of tea, I'm having a cup of nice, hot cocoa. [smells the hot cocoa] Ah. Smells delicious.

Ojo: [offscreen] Bear! Bear! Ooh...

Bear: That sounds like Ojo. Ojo? [hears Ojo, who is wearing a hat and scarf, panting] Ojo? [He bumps into Ojo] Oh! Ojo, take it easy. Okay, now, just tell me what happened.

Ojo: Bear, I was, I was up in the attic playing dress up, and, and, and, and, and, and…

Bear: Ojo, Ojo, easy, easy. Breathe in. [Ojo inhales] Breathe out. [Ojo exhales]

Ojo: [panting] And this big old monster with wings came flying right in the window, Bear. It was awful.

Bear: A monster? Through the window?

Tutter: Hey, hey, hey!

Bear: Hmm? [Tutter was at his mousehole, holding a picture book] Oh, hey, Tutter.

Tutter: What's the-- Hey, Bear. Wh-what's all the racket? I'm trying to concentrate on a picture book in here.

Ojo: Oh, oh, but, Tutter, I saw a monster. [Tutter looks shocked and stares at the camera for a few seconds] He had these big brown wings and these big pointy ears, [Tutter laughs, thinking Ojo was joking] and, and…

Tutter: Oh, Ojo. Brown wings, pointy ears.

Ojo: But-but-but, Tutter.

Tutter: [laughs] Well, any mouse can tell you there's no such thing as monsters. [to Bear] Right, Bear?

Bear: That's right, Tutter.

Tutter: [to Ojo] See? Heh-heh.

Bear: In fact, Ojo, I think you saw a little [Tutter nods] bat that flew in from the pond.

Tutter: [looking in his picture book] Yeah, that's right, a little-- [gasps in shock] Bat?! Did-did-did you say "bat"?

Bear: Yeah, Tutter.

Tutter: As in "flappy-flappy, eekie-eekie"?

Bear: Um… yeah. [Tutter turns to the camera in horror]

Tutter: LATER! [rushes back inside his mousehole and slams the door closed]

Bear: But, Tutter, there's nothing to be…

[Tutter locks the door and Bear finishes his last two words.]

Bear: …afraid of.

Bear: So Ray, what's the weather going to be like the rest of the day?

Ray: Sunny and warm as far as the eye can see. Of course you know; Bear, my outlook is warm and sunny! Well, I'll see you soon; Bear. Enjoy my day!

Bear: I will, Ray. And thanks!

Bear: [confusing, unable to tell what that smell is] That word is a fruit. You know, the fruit that's red on the inside and white on the inside. It grows on apple trees. What's the word? [gets the idea] Apple? That's right! Apple!

[an animated apple appears]

Bear: [as the world "Apple" appears] "Apple" is a word that begins with "A".

---

Bear: [about Harry who learned a lesson about Tutter's words] Well, I'm glad we worked that out. Now I think I'll go back to my newspaper. Come on.

---

Bear: I know what you mean. You mean [picks up a plug] the plug!

Pip & Pop: That's it! The plug! [the word "Plug" appears]

Bear: "Plug" is a word that begins with "P". Do you know that?

[segment opens onto a tree with the flower planted on the ground; a man walks by with his pickle-shaped hat and a bow tie]

Shadow: ♪ Peter Piper ♪

Peter: Hi, I'm Peter Piper and I'm here to pick some pickled pepper. Heh heh!

Shadow: ♪ Picked a peck of pickled peppers ♪

Peter: [viewing the pickles inside the jar with ruler's lines and numbers] A peck is about eight quarts!

Shadow: ♪ A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked ♪

♪ If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers ♪

Peter: Sure is heavy!

Shadow: ♪ Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked? ♪

[the camera's POV movement scrolls through a pickled-pepper tree and then scrolls back]

Peter: I ate a peck of pickled peppers I did pick. I shouldn't eat so many pickled peppers. Whew! [falls over] Oh!

Bear: By the way, if you ever need to do or see something that needs to be plugged in, why don't you get a grown up to plug it in for you and turn it on; okay?

---

Bear: [about the word "Interactive" with 11 yellow letters] Wow, that's a big word. In-ter-­ac-tive. But we interact every day. When you say or do something, and someone or something says or does something back to you, that's interactive. For example, when you throw a ball [an animated ball appears with two human hands] and someone catches it

and throws it back, that's interactive. [an animated flower appears] Or... when you give your grandma a flower and she smiles... that's interactive! And, well, let's see, [thinks for a moment] what else is interactive? [gets an idea] Hey, I know! Something I love to do is very interactive! Dancing! When you dance with someone, you're interacting! How about I teach you the Bear Cha-Cha-Cha? Would you like to learn and dance with me? Great! Stand up! It's not hard, and I'll show you how to do it! Watch me and then you do it. Now, first you stamp your feet... [stamps feet] Stamp them again. [stamps feet] That's great! Now throw your head back! [he does this] And stamp your feet again! [stamps feet again] One more time! [stamps feet another time] Now, spread your legs, and wiggle them! Put them together. And stamp your feet again... [stamps his feet] One more time! Now wiggle and spin. [whistles] And Bears love a big finish, so I want you to pose and say Cha Cha Cha with me. Okay? Now you try! Stamp your feet and pose!

[segment opens on two trees, the dog from "Call It a Day" appears]

Gus: Hi, I'm Gus; your interactive shadow dog! I'm looking for my human pal Gloria. Where do you think she is? Is she:
A) at the desert
B) in outer space
C) at the beach

[as Gus chooses these options, he approaches a bottle with a piece of paper in the water]

Gus: [he selects a choice] You chose "C: the beach". [the letter C disappears] Look, there's a message in a bottle from Gloria! It says "Dear Gus, I've gone to a city across the ocean. See you there.

[cues a large building with the same background as before]

Gloria: Gus, you found me!

Gus: Yeah! And a help with my interactive buddies!

Gloria: Want to play fetch?

Gus: You bet!

Doc Hogg: I'm collecting money for the poor Muskrats down in the valley who were recently flooded out of their muskrat holes when the river rose up last week.

Bear: [about the word "Thanksgiving" he loved] It's a big word and a special day for being, well, thankful. It's a day you get together with your family and friends and make a wonderful meal! [a table with Thanksgiving food appears, passing him by] It's a way of celebrating everything you have like a happy home [an animated house appears along with the Sun] full of people who care about you! There's a lot to be thankful for. And Thanksgiving is the perfect day to think about them.

---

Bear: Ah, there you are. How are things going?

Ojo: Oh, well, uh they're going great, Bear! Just great! Everything's uh perfect, just like I promised!

Bear: [reading the "1001 Ways to Cook Slop" book] First, gather all of your dry ingredients...

Ojo: Dry, I'll say, dry...

Bear: Then, mix them together in a bowl with milk, butter and sugar. This sounds pretty tasty, but it doesn't sound like a story. [he notices the cookbook] Wait a second. This is a cookbook!

Tutter: [reads] Mousey the Great approached the fire-breathing dragon that guarded the castle walls. He knew that dragon didn't belong there so he drew his trusty sword and frightened the dragon away in a brave attempt to rescue the damsel in distress.

Bear: You're not mistaken, Luna. See, I was expecting a storybook in the mail, but I got. Doc Hogg's cookbook instead. But Jeremiah finally brought the new book.

Bear: You know, some people think that sleeping doesn't matter, but the truth is, sleep is very important because sleep gives your body and your brain the rest it needs. So you can be strong and do things. Why; without sleep, you'd be like a car. [an animated car appears, passing in front of him; suddenly, smoke sputters from the back of the car] That runs out of gas. And you know, everyone thinks sleeping is easy, but the truth is, we all have to learn how to get to sleep. Oh yeah. And sometimes it isn't as easy as it looks but if you just surf off to bed and let go of the day, you know, stop worrying, stop thinking, before you know it, you'll take a trip to dreamland in no time.

---

Bear: [to Doc Hogg & Jeremiah Tortoise] We have to keep our voices down because Ojo's asleep in the living room and Tutter's asleep here in the kitchen.

Doc Hogg: Don't worry about us, Bear. [eyes pop, covers his mouth] We'll be as quiet as mice just like Tutter.

---

Bear: That's a tough one but it turned out all right because Tutter and I decided to have our own game of cards tomorrow.

Bear: [as the word "Holidays" appears] Since time began, people everywhere have celebrated some kind of winter holiday. And the Winter holidays are great! It's when family and friends get together to celebrate the season and be close to each other. And there are all kinds of winter holidays celebrated all over the world. Like, for example, some people celebrate Chanukah with a menorah! [the word "Chanukah" appears, with nine animated candles of the Menorah] And some people celebrate Kwanzaa with a kinara. [the word "Kwanzaa" also appears with an animated feast and seven candles over a shape of an elephant] And some people celebrate Christmas with a Christmas tree! [the word "Christmas" appears with an animated Christmas tree] And we Bears celebrate the season with the Winter Berry. [the animated berry appears, then looks around, facing closer] The Winter berry is a special berry that only grows once a year and everyone tries to find it. But the best thing about the holidays, no matter which one you celebrate, is that the holidays are for everybody! And with you here in the Big Blue House, we can celebrate everything!

Ojo: [seeing that Doc Hogg cosplayed Santa Claus] Doesn't he look familiar?

Ojo: The library was my favorite place.

Old Woman: Oh, what a lovely tomato! Just throw it in the pot! This soup's beginning to look good to me!

Shadow: [watching what she's doing] And as the day went on, each added to the pot...

Old Woman: We may not have much of what we shared! That's a lot! (snacks on it)

Shadow: ♪ And soon there it was ♪

♪ A huge soup made of stone ♪

♪ Enough for all with something of their own ♪

Old Woman: There you are. Soup's done!

Villager #2: Oh. Thank you.

Tutter: Well, I heard that you do a lot of reading in school. [the word "Reading" appears]

Ojo: Reading? Really?

Tutter: Yeah, and don't forget writing. [the word "Writing" appears with an animated pencil and a piece of paper]

Pip: Writing?

Tutter: Sure, and you know, math. [the word "Math" appears also]

Ojo: Oh yeah.

Tutter: And don't they have pop quizzes? [the word "Pop Quizzes" appears in orange color]

Ojo: So, who do you think you'll sit next to at Mouse School, Tutter?

Tutter: Well, Ojo, according to everything I've heard, I shall be sitting next to, um... a mouse of some sort.

Tutter: Dry those tears, little Ojo. Buck up, little otters. Your Tutter will still be the same.

---

Bear: Mice... they grow up so fast, don't they? [sighs sadly and blows his nose]

---

Tutter: But Bear, what if the other kids at school don't like me? What if I don't fit in, Bear? Who's gonna help me through my first day of school, Bear? Because if you're not there, I don't know who's gonna do it! And I don't think I can make it through the entire day without you!

Bear: Tutter, Tutter. Breathe in. Breathe out.

---

Bear: [showing off baby pictures of Tutter] Here he is in his crib. And here he is taking his first steps. He was quite the early walker.

---

Bear: So, Tutter, how's it going? Still worried about fitting in?

Tutter: Fitting in? Me? [giggles] Oh, no, Bear. It's you won't fit in. You're too big. Too big!

Rocko: This is gonna be great, it's a little game I just made up called "grilling Mr. Cheese"

Pip: Grilling Mr. Cheese?

Rocko: Yeah, we capture Mr. Cheese, put him under a hot light and ask him a bunch of questions about what he's been up to.

Rocko: My guess is, he's gonna melt under the pressure (laughs) [Rocko speeds off to get Mr. Cheese]

Pip and Pop: ROCKO NO!

Rocko: Aha! [Rocko takes Mr. Cheese] I got him, I got him!

Tutter: What are you doing Rocko?

Rocko: I got some questions for you

Tutter: Hey!

Pip: that's not cool

Pip and Pop: Rocko! Let go!

Tutter: give me Mr. Cheese Rocko, give him back! [Rocko and Tutter fights over Mr. Cheese] [Bear comes in]

Bear: Well, here's your snacks the... [Bear is surprised] Hey! What's going on?

Rocko: Ooh, uhh... Everything's okay Bear, just having some fun, right guys?

Everyone except Rocko and Bear: Well, actually...

Tutter: (screaming) NO! NO NO NO NO, AND NO!

Pip: I'm afraid it's all true

Pop: [nodding] Mhm

Pip: Everybody is not having fun Rocko

Pop: Yeah, in fact, it's kind of turned into the opposite of fun

Pip: One could say "un-fun"

Pop: [nodding again] Mhm

Rocko: Me? Un-fun? Well, okay then, forget it! FORGET ALL OF YOU! [Rocko leaves]

Bear: Well, umm...

Bear: Gosh, what happened? I thought you all we're having fun

Pip: Well... Don't get us wrong

Pip and Pop: We love Rocko Bear, he's our cousin

Pop: But I think he's not so good at playing nice

Pip: One might say "Un-nice"

Pop: Ooh, very good

Ojo: Oh yeah, you know? He only wanted to do what he wanted to do

Treelo: He hurt feelings

Tutter: Yeah, and wanted to grill poor Mr. Cheese!

Bear: Gee, well... I think we all should talk to Rocko about this, why don't you all think about what you want to say and... I'll go see if he's okay [Bear leaves]

Tutter: Okay bear

Ojo: alright bear

Doc Hogg: I was gonna say "get the glasses filled with some ice" "and a nice lemon slice for a garnish," but just plain old lemonade in a dirty glass is fine, I guess. See you up in the attic!

Bear: No, see I thought you were gonna say... okay, be right up.

[after the song]

Bear: Who knew?

Tutter: I better get going, Bear, I gotta get started on my homework assignment.

Tutter: [shouting] Hey guys, I'm here. Don't start without me!

Tutter: [to Ojo] See, you're not supposed to tell anyone where you're hiding!

Ojo: No, no, no; Tutter. I'm not hiding anymore. I want you guys to take a look at something that I found over here.

Pip: Bear can we go now?

Pip & Pop: Please?

Bear: Sure guys. We'll go to the park and then on our way back, I need to stop off at the store.

Bear: I can understand that. But then we found out that Skippy has some pretty great ways of dealing with his disability.

---

Bear: No, Skippy is perfectly healthy. He's fine but he cannot see.

Bear: [spots the calendar] Wow! Tomorrow is Teacher Appreciation Day. Hmm. I wonder if Tutter and his classmates know about this? Well, I'll find out when I head over to soccer practice.

Bear: Where's Lilly?

Tutter: Oh, she went home. We finished the poem, Bear. I think Miss Maxwell's really gonna like it, Bear!

Bear: That's great, Tutter.

Tutter: That was really something about Lilly, huh?

Bear: Well, what do you mean, Tutter?

Tutter: Well, when I first found out that Lilly and I were going to make Miss Maxwell's gift, I didn't think she could do it. You know, she was so quiet, but wow, she really came up with some great ideas; Bear. I like her.

[an animated knight appears with the dragon behind the castle] Or a super hero who saves the day. [an animated superhero appears holding the Earth] But to be brave, you don't have to be a knight or a superhero. In fact, being brave is something most of us are every day.
