Brother Bear

Rutt:
I can't believe you totaled a mammoth.

Tuke:
Hey, that mountain came out of nowhere.

Tanana:
I don't speak "bear".

Kenai:
You ready?

Denahi:
For what?

Kenai:
We're going after the bear.

Denahi:
I know what you're feeling but... but killing that bear is wrong.

Kenai:
Wrong? Our brother is dead and it's because of THAT monster.

Denahi:
I don't blame the bear, Kenai.

Kenai:
Okay, okay, Heh... Koda... I uh... I... I gotta get goin'...

Koda:
Well, when you come back, we can go...

Kenai:
I... I won't be coming back.

Koda:
What? Why not?

Kenai:
Because... well... it's hard to explai...

Tug:
You're leaving?

Kenai:
GAH! UH, NO! Well I uh... I mean yes. Uh... well it's just that I... I don't... I don't belong here.

Tug:
"Don't belong"? EVERY bear belongs here.

Rutt:
Sorry! You've been replaced with my dear brother... gee, I forget you name, what's your name again...?

Koda:
I don't want anymore brothers.

Rutt:
See? He's had enough of you too, eh.

Kenai:
Yeah, I'll probably get, like, a sabretooth tiger for bravery, or strength, or greatness, you know, something that fits me...

Denahi:
How about a mammoth for your fat head? Just make sure you get that basket tied up.

Kenai:
Don't worry! No stupid bear's gonna get anywhere near this fish!

Denahi:
Just tie it up.

Kenai:
I guess the spirits messed up on both of our totems.

Sitka:
You know I felt the same way when Tanana gave me mine.

Kenai:
Get out of here.

Sitka:
No, really. I said, "The eagle of guidance? What does that mean?"... But now that I'm older, I know it's about being a leader... and keeping an eye on you two.

Kenai:
...I just want to get my hand print on that wall.

Sitka:
Just be patient Kenai. When you live by your totem... you will.

Kenai:
Really?

Sitka:
Guarantee it.

Mabel:
This year, I lost my dear husband, Edgar.

Tuke:
I love... dew.

Rutt:
I love dew too.

Kenai:
I'm not a bear. I hate bears.

Rutt:
Well, gee, eh, you're one big beaver.

Kenai:
Hey, I've got a mountain to get to. Let's go, kid.

Koda:
I told you before. My name's Koda. Say it with me... Ko-da.

Kenai:
Are you sure your mom didn't ditch you, Ko-duh?

Tug:
Okay, let's see... the most interesting thing that happened to me this year... hmm... I have to... Oh! I know, I know, I know, listen to this: I'd say it was when I finally knocked down that tree that was blocking the view from my cave. Now I got a family of chipmunks staying at my place!

Kenai:
Koda, there's... something I ought to... you know that story you told me last night?

Koda:
Yeah.

Kenai:
Well, I have a story to tell you.

Koda:
Really? What's it about?

Kenai:
Well, it's kind of about a man... and kind of about a bear. But mostly it's about a monster.

Kenai:
You want to know what I did this year? I went on the longest, hardest, most exhausting journey I have ever been on, with the biggest pain in the neck I have ever met. But what do you expect from a little brother?

Denahi as an Old Man:
This is a story from long ago, when the great mammoths still roamed our lands. It's the story of my two brothers and me. When the three of us were young, we were taught that the world is full of magic. The source of this magic is the ever-changing lights that dance across the sky. The shaman woman of our village told us that these lights are the spirits of our ancestors, and that they had the power to make changes in our world. Small things become big. Winter turns to spring. One thing always changes into another. But the greatest change I ever saw was that of my brother. A boy who desperately wanted to be a man...

Koda:
If the snow's white, then it's all right. Yellow or green, it's just not clean. I learned that one the hard way.

Koda:
Mom says the spirits make all the magical changes in the world, like how the leaves change color, or how the moon changes shape, or tadpoles change into frogs...

Kenai:
Yeah, I get it. You know, for a change, maybe they could just leave things alone.

Koda:
What do you mean?

Kenai:
My brother's a spirit, and if it wasn't for him I... I wouldn't be here.

Koda:
You have a brother up there? What happened to him?

Kenai:
He was killed by a bea... by a monster.

Koda:
What's your brother's name?

Kenai:
Sitka.

Koda:
Thanks, Sitka. If it weren't for you, I would have never met Kenai. I always wanted a brother.

Kenai:
Keep all that cuddly bear stuff to a minimum, okay, kid?

Kenai:
He needs me.

Denahi:
You know, you did look better as a bear...

Kenai:
But... Denahi...

Denahi:
It's all right, Kenai. No matter what you choose, you'll always be my little brother.

Denahi:
Whoa... Did I say little?

Tanana:
Kenai, love is the most precious of totems. It reveals itself in unexpected ways.

Tanana:
You left too soon, Sitka. Your brothers need your guidance.

Koda:
When I get in a fight, I go all crazy, and I'm a raging ball of brown fur!

Kenai:
Enough with the stories. I don't care about the time you and Binky found the world's biggest pine cone ever.

Koda:
First of all, his name's Bucky, not Binky. And Second, it wasn't a pine cone, it was a pine nut, and it was huge, even bigger than your fat head.

Tuke:
How's it going, bear?

Kenai:
Don't call me that.

Tuke:
Sorry, um... Mister Bear?

Kenai:
Never try to milk a caribou.

Denahi:
THERE he is. Ha ha! Come here, lover boy.

Kenai:
Leave me alone.

Denahi:
Aw, Kenai wait... I'm sorry.

Kenai:
...what?

Denahi:
Your totem... I think it's really great.

Kenai:
You do?

Denahi:
Yeah. And I made you something...

Kenai:
Really?

Denahi:
Now when you skip around loving everybody... you'll smell so sweet!

Sitka:
WELL, isn't this nice. Instead of fighting you're giving each other flowers.

Denahi:
Yeah. Isn't it lovely? He's so in touch with his totem already!

Sitka:
Hey dog breath, go take care of the fish.

Denahi:
Sure.

Denahi:
Kenai loves me, he loves me not. Kenai loves me, he loves me not...

Sitka:
Hey bonehead, just because his totem is wisdom doesn't mean he's wise. I mean, look at him.

Denahi:
Kenai loves me, he loves me not...

Denahi:
Whoa.

Denahi:
Uh, hi...

Sitka:

Denahi:
Killing that bear won't make you a man.

Kenai:
Oh NOW you're trying to be wise?

Denahi:
I'm trying to follow my totem. Why can't you do the same?

Kenai:
You really think love has anything to do with being a man? A MAN wouldn't just sit here and do nothing.

Tuke:
Get out, eh. I'm driving.

Rutt:
Wha... when can I have a turn, eh?

Tuke:
It's not as easy as it looks. Now just watch what I do, okay?

Rutt:
Well, let's get a back seat or something. It looks like ya hunted me.

Kenai:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh... huh?

Tug:
Yeah, try not to scare off the fish there buddy.

Bo:
I guess it's our turn. This is the year I met the MOST gorgeous...

Nookie:
No... YOU'RE gorgeous.

Bo:
You're gorgeous... -ER.

Tug:
Get a cave.

Igor:
Oy.

Mabel:
If only EDGAR was alive.

Bo:
I love you buttercup.

Kenai:
Koda... your mother's not coming back.

Koda:
Those monsters are real scary. Especially with their sticks.

Singer:
Great Spirits of all who lived before/ Take our hands and lead us/ Fill our hearts and souls with all you know/ Show us that in your eyes/ we are all the same/ Brothers to each other/ In this world we remain/ truly brothers all the same.

Tanana:
When each of us comes of age, the Great Spirits reveal to us a totem that helps guide us through our lives. Some of us use courage to guide us, others patience. And,

Tanana:
some of us, beauty...

Tanana:
Kenai, I have been to the mountain where the lights touch the earth, and the Great Spirits have revealed to me your totem. To become a man, your actions must be guided by one thing: Your totem is... love. Yes, love.

Kenai:
The bear of love?

Tanana:
A love that connects and unites all living things.

Tanana:
Let love guide your actions, and one day, you'll be a man, and will place your mark next to those of our ancestors.

Rutt:
Oh, gee! I think he's seen us, eh! Now what?

Tuke:
Act like we're not here.

Rutt:
Oh. Ah, we're not here!

Koda:
What are you doing? Guess you didn't see the trap, huh? I saw it from a mile away! You must be pretty embarrassed! Don't worry... I won't tell *anyone!*

Kenai:
What?

Koda:
You need to get down! Let me help...

Kenai:
Oh, wait wait wait wait wait wait... OW!

Koda:
Hold still!

Kenai:
No, just (Ow!) Stop it! (Ow! Ooh!) Would you just (Ow!) Get... get... hey... STOP IT!

Koda:
It's no use. The only way to get down is to *chew your own foot off*!

Koda:
Boy, that tree is strong, huh? You know, when I was little, I was really into climbing trees! All kinds of trees! I climbed pine trees, oak trees, cedar trees, maple trees, there were birch trees, willow trees...

Koda:
...my eyes were watering, and my tongue was swollen, and from that moment on, I was more careful about what I lick!

Koda:
Oh, that reminds me! Last year at the Salmon Run, my friend Bucky TOTALLY dared me, but I'd heard about this OTHER cub who stuck HIS tongue to an iceberg, and then he started to float away, and so to save him, they had to like rip off his tongue, and so, now he hath to tog like thith all a time!

Kenai:
Don't DO that!

Koda:
Scared you, didn't I?

Kenai:
There's scared... and then there's surprised.

Koda:
And you were both! Whoa...

Koda:
Nice try. Uh, you got a little spit right there...

Koda:
Why do they hate us, Kenai?

Kenai:
We're bears.

Koda:
So?

Kenai:
So... you know how they are! They're... they're killers.

Koda:
Wait a minute, who's the killers?

Kenai:
Bears.

Koda:
What? Which bears? I'm not like that, and you're not like that!

Kenai:
Well, obviously not all bears, I mean, you're okay, but most bears... most bears will look for any excuse to attack a human.

Koda:
But Kenai, *he* attacked *us*!

Tug:
Hey, don't throw your fish bones over here! Someone could choke on that...

Koda:
This year, I watched my Mom in a life and death struggle against all odds, battling possibly the most fiercest creature on the face of the earth. Okay, who's next?

Kenai:
Sitka! Sitka, are you there? Sitka! Sitka... please, Sitka... I don't know what else to do.

Denahi as an Old Man:
My brother Kenai went on to live with Koda and the other bears. He taught me that love is very powerful. And I passed on the wisdom of his story to my people. The story of a boy who became a man... by becoming a bear.

Tuke:
Do you wanna play "I Spy"?

Rutt:
Yeah.

Tuke:
Okay, I spy something... green.

Rutt:
Tree?

Tuke:
Ohh!

Rutt:
Okay, my turn. I spy something... tall.

Tuke:
Tree.

Rutt:
Ohh!

Tuke:
My turn. I spy something... with bark.

Rutt:
Tree.

Tuke:
Ohh!

Rutt:
Okay, I spy something... a vertical log.

Tuke:
Tree.

Rutt:
Ohh!

Tuke:
Okay, I spy...

Rutt:
Tree!

Tuke:
Ohh!

Rutt:
Okay...

Tuke:
Tree!

Rutt:
But I didn't spy anything!

Tuke:
It counts!

Rutt:
Tree!

Tuke:
Ohh, let's play something else.

Rutt:
Hey, don't go near this patch here, eh. Something went in here.

Rutt:
Hey, you know what this calls for? A pile of delicious barley and amberweed on a cool bed of malted hops, eh.

Tuke:
I like it!

Kenai:
Yeah, I'll probably get like a sabertooth tiger for bravery or strength or greatness. You know, something that fits me.

Denahi:
How about a mammoth for your fat head? Just make sure you get that basket tied up.

Kenai:
Don't worry. No stupid bear's gonna get anywhere near this fish.

Denahi:
Just tie it up.

Kenai:
[under his breath] "Just tie it up."

Man:
She's back! Hey, everybody! Tanana's back!

Sitka:
Come on!

Child:
Come on, Kenai, let's go!

Kenai:
Come on, come on.

Child:
Tanana's got your rock! Come on!

Denahi:
There he is.

Kenai:
[moans in annoyance] Ohh.

Denahi:
Ha ha! Come here, loverboy.

Kenai:
Uhh. Leave me alone.

Denahi:
Aw, Kenai, wait.

Kenai:
Uhh.

Denahi:
I'm sorry.

Kenai:
What?

Denahi:
Your totem: I think it's really great.

Kenai:
You do?

Denahi:
Yeah. And I made you something?

Kenai:
[smiling] Really?

Denahi:
[throws flowers on Kenai's head] Now when you skip around loving everybody, you'll smell so sweet.

[Kenai pushes the flowers back to Denahi]

Sitka:
Well, isn't this nice? Instead of fighting, you're giving each other flowers.

Denahi:
Yeah, isn't it lovely? He's so in touch with his totem already.

Kenai:
Uhh!

Sitka:
Hey, dog breath, go take care of the fish.

Denahi:
Sure. Kenai loves me, he loves me not. Kenai loves me, he loves me not. Kenai loves me, he loves me not.

Sitka:
[grabs Kenai's hand before he throws the rock] Kenai.

Kenai:
Someday I'm gonna just-- He's just such a--

Sitka:
Hey, bonehead. Just because his totem is wisdom doesn't mean he's wise. I mean, look at him.

Denahi:
Kenai loves me, he loves me not. Kenai lo-- [accidentally steps on a dog's tail and the dog yelps and barks] Hey! Whoa!

People:
Hi, Denahi.

Denahi:
Oh, hi. Heh-heh. [the dog growls and bites his butt, offscreen] Aah!

Kenai:
Ooh.

Denahi:
Let go!

Kenai:
Yeah. I guess the spirits messed up on both of our totems.

Sitka:
You know, I felt the same way when Tanana gave me mine.

Kenai:
Get out of here.

Sitka:
No, really. I said, "The Eagle of Guidance? What does that mean?" Ha ha. But now that I'm older, I know it's about being a leader, and keeping an eye on you two.

Kenai:
I just want to get my handprint on that wall.

Sitka:
Just be patient, Kenai. When you live by your totem, you will.

Kenai:
Really?

Sitka:
Guarantee it. [laughs]

Kenai:
But come on, the Bear of Love? I mean a bear doesn't love anyone they don't think, they don't feel, I mean they're-- [people chatter at the fish trail] They're thieves.

Denahi:
You didn't tie it off, did you?

Kenai:
Uh-- [chuckles nervously]

Denahi:
You should've got the totem of pinheads!

Sitka:
Knock it off. We'll just make another basket.

Denahi:
We? Oh, no. No. It took me 2 weeks to make that basket. You get lover-boy to do it. He's the one that's messing things up all the time. Typical Kenai.

Kenai:
All right. I'll go get your basket.

Sitka:
Kenai, wait. Kenai!

Denahi:
[Sitka looks at him angrily] [confused] What?

Kenai:
[kicking tree branches out of anger] Uhh. Unh! Unh! [Kenai hears a growl, and sees a bear] Unh! [throws a rock at the bear]

Sitka:
Kenai! [the bear roars angrily] Kenai! Where'd he go?

Denahi:
If we're lucky, far away. Huh.

Kenai:
Aah! Uhh!

Denahi:
Kenai!

Sitka:
Kenai!

Kenai:
Sitka, no! You got to get out of here!

Sitka:
What?

Kenai:
The bear! Look behind you!

Sitka:
[alarmed] Aah!

[the bear roars, and Denahi throws rock at the bear]

Denahi:
Hey, bear, come on! Over here! Come on, bear! Come this way!

Kenai:
Uhh. [Roaring]

Denahi:
Aah!

Kenai:
[running over] Denahi! Uhh! Hold on! Come on, pull!

Denahi:
Uhh!

[Sitka pants]

Kenai:
[struggling to pull Denahi up] Unh!

[Sitka sees the ice crack and stabs the ice with his spear, causing the ice to crack more, and the bear moans in alarm]

Kenai:
[alarmed] Sitka. Sitka! [the ice breaks apart and the bear and Sitka fall in the water]

Denahi:
Sitka?

[the bear comes out of the water, and walks back to the land]

Kenahi:
Come on!

Kenai:
Sitka!

Denahi:
Sitka!

Kenai:
Sitka. Sitka!

Denahi:
Sitka!

Kenai:
Sitka, where are you?!

Denahi:
Kenai!

[Kenai finds the hood of Sitka's top floating in the water]

Kenai:
[sadly] No. [desperately] Sitka! Sitka! Help us find you! Sitka! Sitka, where are you?! Sitka!

[Denahi sees Kenai's clothes ripped, and he thinks Kenai died]

Denahi:
[in thought] I don't blame the bear, Kenai.

[Denahi stands up and walks away.]

Kenai:
[in thought] A man wouldn't just sit here and do nothing.

Koda:
You think so?

Kenai:
Oh, yeah, for your friends.

Koda:
I'm sorry we're lost, OK? Even though it's pretty much your fault.

Kenai:
My fault?! Ugh! That's it.

Koda:
Just remember, if it weren't for me, you'd still be hanging upside down right now.

Kenai:
Better than being stuck in the middle of nowhere with you and your blabbing mouth. [mocking Koda] "I'm lost. I can't find my mommy. Will you take me to the salmon run?" [angrily] Why don't you just grow up?

Koda:
Fine. I'll just go on my own, then.

Kenai:
Fine. Go ahead.

Koda:
Fine.

Kenai:
Fine.

Koda:
Fine.

Ram:
Oh, that clears up the sinuses.

Koda:
Ahem. In accordance with all federal and state wildlife regulations, no fish were harmed during the making of this film.

Fish:
[screams in fear] No! He's gonna eat me! [screams]

Koda:
[chuckles] Cut. Cut.

Fish:
Somebody help me!

Koda:
Ooh! [bear belches]

Koda (crying):
No... NO! [starts to run off in the snow]

Ram 1:
It's go time! [locks horns with the other ram]

Ram 2:
You wanna go?!

Ram 1:
Yeah.

Ram 2:
Well bring it on!

Ram 1:
Horns up!

Ram 2:
[sees Kenai and Koda] Whoa, whoa, hold up.

Kenai:
Excuse me!

Ram 2:
What do you want?! [echoes] What was that? Who was that?

Ram 1:
Uh, just a minute, bear. [to the sky] HEY, SHUT UP! [echoes] NO, YOU SHUT UP! [echoes]

Ram 2:
[to the sky] No, you shut up! [echoes]

Ram 1:
HEY, WILL YOU SHUT UP?! [echoes] JUST SHUT UP!!! [echoes]

Koda:
Heh. I think their horns are screwed on too tight. [he and Kenai laugh]

Tuke:
What are they getting worked up about?

Rutt:
Gee, I don't know. Maybe the goose pooped on 'em, eh?

[Both Moose laughs]

Tuke:
[panicking] Oh, gee. I think they're looking over here. Let's beat it. This way. [runs to his left]

Rutt:
[panicking] No, no, no, this way. [runs to his right]

[Then both banged and got each other's antlers stuck]

Tuke:
Oh, thank you very much.

Rutt:
J-Just stay still and--

Kenai:
[runs toward them] Hey, you two!

[Both Moose gasps]

Tuke:
Head down. Head down!

[Both get their heads down for cover under the tree log]

Rutt:
[whispers] Oh, gee! I think they seen us! Now what?

Tuke:
[whispers] Act like we're not here.

Rutt:
Oh. Ah, we're not here!

Tuke:
Shh! [whispers] What are you doing, eh?!

Rutt:
[whispers] Will you said to--

Tuke:
[whispers] Don't say anything.

Rutt:
[still whispers] Okay!

Tuke:
[still whispers] I said, "Don't say anything"!

Kenai:
Um, excuse me.

[The startled Mooses fell back screaming]

Tuke:
Please don't eat us!

Rutt:
You wouldn't like us, eh. We're really gamey.

Tuke:
Ya... eat hoof-for-brains over there.

Rutt:
Oh nice, eh. Pine-cone breath!

Tuke:
Crusty tail!

Rutt:
Twig legs!

Tuke:
Big nose! [Rutt gasps] ... sorry.

Rutt:
You went too far that time.

Tuke:
Okay, I'm sorry.

Kenai:
Guys.

Tuke:
Besides, yours is bigger than mine.

Kenai:
[move the antlers off the side] I'm not eating anybody.

Tuke:
[calmly] Oh, whew! [laughs] That's mighty decent of you, eh.

Rutt:
Yeah. Hey, my name's Rutt. This my brother, Tuke.

Tuke:
How's it going, bear?

Kenai:
[scoffs] Don't call me that.

Tuke:
Oh, sorry, [stammers] Mr. Bear?

Kenai:
No! I mean, I'm not a bear. I hate bears.

Rutt:
Well, gee, eh, you're one big beaver. [laughs]

Tuke:
No kidding?

Kenai:
[about the spirits] Do either of you know where the lights touch the earth?

Rutt:
Yee...ahh... No. Uh, no. Sorry, bear, or beaver.

Kenai:
I'm not a beaver. I'm a bear. No, I mean, I'm not a bear. I'm a man!

[Tuke spits out, laughs surprised]

Rutt:
Excuse me?

Kenai:
I was transformed into a bear, magically. I was lifted into the sky by my brother.

Tuke:
Uh-huh. [turns to Rutt, fake cough] You're crazy!

Rutt:
Gesundheit.

Tuke:
[fake cough] No, a fruitcake!

Rutt:
Are you, okay?

Tuke:
[fake cough] No, that bear over there! He's crazy!

Kenai:
[angrily] I am NOT crazy!

Tuke:
Well, who ever said you were? We understand.

Kenai:
You do?

Tuke:
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well-- Well, you see, we're not moose, either.

Rutt:
We're-- We're not?

Tuke:
No. Heh. We're like, uh... We're like squirrels. Yeah.

Rutt:
Oh. Oh, yeah! Beauty, eh? Well, yeah, well, he... he's actually the squirrel. I'm-- I'm more of a pure-bred wolverine. Look at these cuspids. Rrrr!

Tuke:
Give him a little room.

Kenai:
[groans] Why am I even talking to a couple of dumb moose?

Tuke:
No, we're squirrels, eh?

Rutt:
Wolverine.

Kenai:
I'll find it myself.

Rutt:
Oh, I wouldn't go that way.

Tuke:
Why not, eh?

Rutt:
Uh, well, there was a reason.

Tuke:
Well you brought it up.

Rutt:
I'm trying to, but you're talking--

[Kenai shouts is caught in a snare, grunting and the moose watch him bounce around with the rope of the tree]

Tuke:
So, you think of it yet? [leaves]

Rutt:
Well, uh, no, but it's driving me nuts, too, eh? [leaves]
