Post by bunniefuu »

[ Birds singing]

[ Owl hooting...]

[ Hen squawks]

Cat: boo!

[ Squawking]

All: whoa!

[ All laughing]

Little bear: one, two, three

Look at me!

Three, four, five...

I'm alive!

Let's make a few extra cookies.

But there's only three of us.

[ Barks, pants]

[ Barking]

[ Laughing]

Four of us.

Five of us.

Oh, yes

We can't forget lucy.

Why don't we make enough for all of us?

And all of our friends, too?

It's always a good idea

To have extra gingerbread cookies.

Mm-hmm.

Granny [ rhythmically]: hickory, dickory

Six and seven.

Alabone, cr*ck a bone

Ten and eleven.

Spin, spun

Almost done.

Twiddlum, twaddlum

Twenty-one.

What's that?

Oh, just a little rhyme I like to say

When I'm baking cookies.

You try it.

Hickory, dickory

Six and...

Seven?

Alabone, cr*ck a bone

Ten...

And eleven.

Granny: spin, spun

Almost done...

[ Both garbling rhyme]

[ Laughing]

Granny [ very deep]: I'm the grand leader

Of the gingerbread cookies!

[ In a regal voice]: and I'm the queen of

The gingerbread cookies.

What's that one supposed to be?

[ High voice]: I'm the polka dot gingerbread cookie!

[ Yelps][ all laughing]

Emily: yeah, here would look nice.

[ Sniffing]

[ Chattering]

Time to put the cookies in the oven.

Now we have to wait.

[ Humming...]

[ All sigh]

[ Humming]

Emily: ah...

Little bear: mmm!

They smell delicious, granny.

Ah, ah, ah!

They're too hot to eat right now.

But you have to watch them, very carefully.

Watch them?

I'd rather eat them.

Oh, if you don't watch gingerbread cookies carefully

They might just... Get up and run away.

Really?

Oh, granny.

Especially if it's snowing outside.

Gingerbread cookies love to play in the snow.

Well, how long do we have to watch them?

Until they're cool enough to eat.

Oh.

Don't let them out of your sight.

I'm going out back for some firewood.

Keep your eyes on them.

Gingerbread cookies can be very, very sneaky.

I think I saw one blink.

I think I saw one move.

[ Wind howling]hickory, dickory...

Six and...

Alabone, sticks and bones?

No!

[ Giggles]

Alabone, cr*ck a bone...

Ten and eleven.

Right!

Little bear: spin, spun

Almost done!

Emily: twiddlum, twaddlum...

Both: twenty-one!

We did it.

We got it right.

Both: spin, spun

Almost done!

Twiddlum, twaddlum

Twenty-one!

[ Both giggling]

Snowfall!

[ Whistles]

[ Gasps]

Charge!

Snow

Snow, snow!

[ Both gasp]

Wait!

You can't leave.

We're supposed to keep an eye on you.

Then we're supposed to eat you.

[ Laughs]

You can't eat us if you can't catch us!

[ Whooping and cheering]

Come back!

[ Grunts]

[ Whooping and cheering]

They're getting away!

[ Cheering wildly]

[ Whistles]

Where'd they go?

Gingerbread cookies can be very, very sneaky.

There they are.

Where?

Over there.

Come back!

Both: wait! Come back!

[ Laughing and shouting]

[ Snoring within]

[ Hooting in fright]

[ Grunts]

What was that?!

Something just ran through my house.

Gingerbread cookies.

We're chasing them.

I love gingerbread cookies.

Nyah, nyah-nyah, nyah-nyah, nyah!

Emily: come on!

Whee! Whee! Whee!

[ Laughing...]

[ Squawks]

Oh!

What hit me?

It's the gingerbread cookies.

We have to catch them.

Gingerbread cookies?

Mmm!

Hey! Come back here!

[ Snoring]

[ Screeches]

[ All laughing]

What, what?!

I'm going to eat you!

Emily: come back here!

[ Owl hoots]wait for me, gingerbread cookies!

Gingerbread cookies?

Mmm!

[ Whooping and laughing]

[ Whistles]

[ Panting, squawking]

Emily: wait.

Slow down.

[ Hooting]

There you are![ Door shuts]

[ All sigh]

Good thing our gingerbread cookies didn't run away.

Huh?

Hmm...

Hmm!

There's only one way to make sure

Gingerbread cookies don't run away.

What's that?

Eat them.

[ All chomping]

Has anybody seen

The grand leader gingerbread cookie?

Not me.no.no.uh-uh.

[ Murmuring]

I didn't see him.

[ Windowpane squeaks]

Whoo!

Whee!

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

I'm free!

[ Laughs]

[ Objects rattling in drawer]

What are you looking for, little bear?

Nothing.

I'm just looking.

What is this stuff?

Well... Your father doesn't like to throw anything away.

You never know

Both: what might come in handy

Someday.

Some day.

[ Rattling]

I don't think this is ever

Going to come in handy.

[ Clattering]

Wow!

Look at these.

Those are my old marbles.

From when I was a little bear.

Come on.

I'll show you how to play with them.

Okay.

There.

Now...

What you have to do

Is knock that marble

Out of the circle.

Then what happens?

You get to keep it.

Oh.

Here, I'll show you how to sh**t.

I lost a lot of marbles before I ever learned this.

Arm straight...

As still as stone

Line it up, one eye alone

Snap your thumb...

Marble's gone.

Interesting.

Can I try?

Okay, little bear.

It takes practice but you'll get it.

I'm going to start practicing right now.

Let me know when you're ready for a game.

Oops!

Ow!

It's easier just to roll them.

Ooh, that's pretty.

Duck.

I didn't see you coming.

Duck, you ruined it.

[ Meowing]

We were going to scare you.

[ Chattering]

Hi, mitzi.

[ Chattering]

[ Bark]

Hello, tutu.

Hey! Where did you get these?

They used to be father bear's.

But now they're mine.

Interesting.

That's called a cat's eye.

I've seen a lot of marbles.

Yours is a cleary.

Mine's a flame.

This one's bea-u-tiful.

That's a swirly.

[ Purrs]

I don't think this looks much like a cat's eye.

Well... Maybe a little.

[ Purring]

Okay.

I think it's time

To put my marbles away.

Don't you want to play?

You must be good at it.

All right.

So what game are we playing?

There're all kinds of games, you know.

How about... Straight-sh**t keepsies

No sidearms, skippers, bouncers or wickwacks.

Sounds good to me.

Um... Okay.

Why don't you go first, cat?

[ Purring]

Cat, you won one.

I did?

Your turn, little bear.

But we'll have to put another marble out now.

It's easier than it looks.

[ Barking]

Mitzi: oh, almost.

Okay, my turn.

I got one.

[ Barks]

[ Barking]

Duck, your turn.

[ Quacks]

Tutu! Come back here.

[ Growls]

Give it!

I'll go again.

[ Panting, quacking]

Me next.

Oh!

Duck: tutu!

[ Panting]

Give me my marble.

[ Panting, snarling]

[ Barks]

[ Quacking]

[ Panting, quacking]

Mitzi, you won another.

Looks like you've won them all.

Let's play another game.

I don't want to play again.

Okay, well...

Give me the marbles.

Cat and I will play.

Little bear, these are my marbles now.

What?

You agreed we were playing for keepsies.

I did?

[ Panting]

[ Squawks loudly]

[ Whimpering]

[ Barking]

Is it my turn now?

I found my marble.

Mitzi won all the marbles-- for keeps.

But those are little bear's marbles.

Keepsies.

Everyone agreed.

I didn't hear you.

You said so much stuff at once.

Well, here.

You can play with this one.

Thanks.

Come on, mitzi.

All right.

sh**t, little bear.

How did it go, now?

Oh, yes.

Arm straight, still as stone.

Line it up

One eye alone.

Snap your thumb...

[ Gasps]

Last sh*t on linesies gets another chance.

He called it, mitzi.

[ Barks]

[ Pants]

[ Cheering]

Little bear

You won them all back.

Good sh**ting, little bear.

I'm sorry I kind of snuck "keepsies" in there.

It's okay.

Anyone who knows

Anything about marbles knows

You play for keepsies.

Unless you're playing with your best friends.

Here, duck.

Ah!

Cat.

You can have this one, mitzi.

Thanks, little bear.

[ Panting]

[ Barks]

Hey!

Tutu!

[ Growls]

[ Barks]

Tutu, come back here.

[ Panting...]

Duck: give me my marble.

Tutu!

[ Quacking angrily...]

[ Insects humming]

[ Birds singing]

[ Slurping]

Mmm... Lunchtime.

Huh?

[ Chomping]

[ Gulps]

[ Gasps]

Help!

[ Louder]: help!

[ Humming]

Help, help!

Help![ Humming]

Help!

[ Thud]

What's wrong, no feet?

We have an invader in the garden.

An invader?

[ Rumbling]

[ Thwack]

See?

It must be...

A mole!

A mole?

I've never met a mole.

Oh... You don't want to.

The mole is one of the meanest

Scariest animals alive!

Really?

Oh, yes.

They have razor-sharp claws...

And great big teeth...

And they're all covered in... Fur!

He wants to destroy everything--

The garden

The lovely vegetables, my home...

And me.

You?

Moles eat snakes.

Don't worry, no feet.

Let's just ask him to go away.

No, no, no, little bear.

We can't talk to the mole!

He's a monster!

Hello, down there.

[ Echoing]: there, there, there...

Mole?

[ Echoing]: mole, mole...

Can we talk to you?

[ Rustling]

Look out!

Oh!

I guess you're right, no feet.

This calls for extreme measures.

We can make a mole trap.

I guess we'll have to if we want to talk to him.

What do we need for the mole trap?

Something big to catch him in.

[ Clanking]

How's this?

No, bigger.

Much bigger.

That should work.

We'll need something to flush him out.

Flush him out?

So he'll run out of his tunnel, into the jar.

Hmm...

I know!

How about this?

[ Blowing]

This just blows out air.

But it could blow out...

Pepper.

Hmm...

[ Sneezes]

Brilliant.

Ready?

Wait. [ Clanking]

Ready!

Well, what's that for?

Protection.

What about me?

How's this?

Perfect! Let's go.

[ Birds singing...]

There.

The mole trap is ready.

Good. Now for step two.

If we put the pepper in here, he should run that way.

Right into our trap.

Ready...

Set...

Both: go!

Oh, no!

[ Sneezes]

Too much...

[ Sneezes] pepper.

[ Sneeze]

Did you hear that?

It's the mole!

[ Sneezes]

Quick, run! Run!

[ Grunts]

Run! [ Yelps]

[ Sneezes]

[ Sneezes]

[ Sneezes]

Gesundheit.

Thank you.

[ Sneezes]

Gesundheit to you, too.

Many thanks.

What are you doing with pepper?

We're trying to catch a big, mean, scary animal--

A mole.

But... I'm a mole.

You're a mole?

But you don't look scary.

I'm not.

I'm little bear.

Pleased to meet you, little bear.

Why did you want to catch me?

Because you're ruining the garden.

And it's no feet's home.

Who's no feet?

He's my friend.

No feet?

No feet, where are you?

I'm in here!

In here!

Our trap works.

Get me out of here.

No feet, I want you to meet mole.

I don't want to meet a mole.

But he's nice.

Sure, to you-- you're a bear!

He can't see very well

So I have to hold you close.

Mole?

I'd like you to meet no feet.

Where?

[ Grunting]

Here.

Aah! Hey!

Oh, there you are.

Nice to meet you.

Let me go!

[ No feet grunting]

He's afraid you'll eat him.

A snake? Yuch!

Please don't take it personally

But I mostly eat worms... And bugs.

No feet: and peas!

Oh, no, I can't stand peas.

Then why did you knock them down?

Did I do that?

I'm terribly sorry, no feet.

I promise I'll be more careful with the tunnels.

And you won't knock over any more plants?

Nope. Especially pea plants.

I think this could work out.

Good.

Can I ask you one thing?

Sure.

What is that on your head?

[ Gulps]

We were just playing a game.

What kind of game?

We were trying to catch a monster.

He has razor-sharp claws...

And big teeth...

Ooh...

And fur all over!

Want to play?

Oh, yes.

Where's the monster?

Here.

[ Growls]

That's a very scary monster!

[ Laughs]

This will protect you.

Thanks.

[ Little bear growling]

[ Laughing]

Ooh!

Here I come!

Look out for the monster!

[ Shouting, laughing]
