Bear in the Big Blue House

[repeated opening line]

Bear:
It's you!

Tutter:
Oh, and Bear...

Bear:
Hmm?

Tutter:
Would you mind - awfully, if it's not too much trouble, if you wouldn't mind, Bear... would you please close the door? You know why?

Bear:
Why?

Tutter:
[yelling] It's freezing!

Bear:
Sorry.

Tutter:
[still yelling] Oh, sorry, sorry sorry. [starts grumbling to himself] A bear for a roommate. Uncle Splutter tried to warn me, but noooo..

Bear:
He was busy measuring things to see if they fit into his mousehole.

Bear:
Don't ask me why. It's a bear thing.

Luna:
Oh, don't sell yourself short, Bear. Although, I don't suppose you could ever do that. You're too big.

Bear:
Bears like boxes, too, only it's hard to find one big enough.

Bear:
Ooh! You have that just-rolled-out-of-bed smell.

Ojo:
You know, you can look at it if you want.

Pip, Pop:
[gasp] Really? Thanks!

Ojo:
You can look at it, too, Bear.

Bear:
Oh, thanks!

Bear:
A bear's three favorite words are: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Pip:
No mail for us?

Pop:
No letters?

Pip:
No cards?

Pop:
No packages for us? Ohh.

Pip:
Woe is me.

Pop:
Woe is me, too.

Pip, Pop:
Woe is us! [crying]

Pip:
Fun is our middle name!

Pop:
No, 'Fun' is your middle name. Mine is 'Angelica,' remember?

Bear:
Hey, I'm waiting, just like in a real doctor's office.

Tutter:
Yeah, I tried pushing it in and shoving it in. It just won't go in my mousehole.

Tutter:
Oh, cheddar chunks! Oh, brie!

Ojo:
How are we going to have Thanksgiving without all the good food?

Bear:
Well, Ojo, I think this might still be the best Thanksgiving ever.

Ojo:
But how, Bear?

Bear:
Because, Ojo, we're all together.

Bear:
Hmm. Home. Home is such a nice word, isn't it? Have you ever really stopped to think about what it means?

Bear:
A bear's three favorite words are breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Bear:
Now look at this. This is the kitchen table. It's the best part of the kitchen.

Tutter:
[talking over as Bear continues] Oh, no, no, no.

Bear:
With this table, you sit an' you can have a whole mess of cooked and buttered string beans.

Tutter:
All wrong, Bear. All wrong.

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.

Bear:
Say, how old are you, anyway? You look like you might be... four? Or five? Or six? Or more? Or maybe it's even your birthday today.

Tutter:
Too much to do. I have my whole life in front of me!

Bear:
Treelo's so excited about Tutter's birthday that he wishes it was his birthday too. Has that ever happened to you?

Bear:
Um, hey, Luna, when is your birthday?

Luna:
Me?

Bear:
Mm-hmm.

Luna:
I'm too old to remember, Bear. It seems like I've just always been up here lighting up the sky.

Luna:
And Ojo. How was that little bear today?

Bear:
Oh, Ojo found out she has her own special shape. Everybody has one.

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?

Tutter:
Make that move, Bear! Move them old checkers! Ha ha. Whenever you're ready. Ha ha. Any old time, Bear.

Bear:
Um, Tutter, is something wrong?

Tutter:
What? Something wrong? With me? I don't think so, Bear. Ha ha ha.

Bear:
Really? Are you sure you're okay?

Tutter:
I'm okay, Bear. Gee whiz, Bear, are you ever going to make your move?

Bear:
Um, Tutter, do you feel you have to go somewhere?

Tutter:
Go? What? Huh?

Bear:
Because if you need to go to the bathroom, it's okay. You should go.

Bear:
Sometimes, it's kind of hard to stop having fun and take the time to go to the bathroom and use the potty. Yep. The potty. Everybody and every creature has to poop sometime. Birds, bunnies, bugs, even fish too!

Bear:
Hey, do you want to know a secret? To learn to use the potty, all you have to do is listen to your body.

Ojo:
I almost made it, but I didn't get here in time. Bear, I feel so bad.

Bear:
Ojo, it's okay. Accidents can happen to anyone.

[last lines]

Bear:
Oh. And by the way, this bear is always very proud of you when you take good care of yourself. And I'm sure you are a great toileteer. See ya' soon.
