(Cheering and applause)
man (on tv): the country bears officially broke up after the '91 hibernation tour.
It's actually hard to imagine popular music without the bears.
I learned a lot from those guys and that was why I was so sad to see them break up.
Fred: I guess I miss the old days at country bear hall.
We was kinda...
Different, you see?
And, uh, at country bear hall you could be different and still fit in.
Yup.
Different.
Mm-hmm.
Boy: hey, beary.
Doofus, it's time for dinner.
Dad: sit down, dex.
Okay, that's enough, that's enough.
Napkin's not a toy, dex.
I'm really not that hungry.
Mom?
Am I adopted?
Well...
Of course not, honey.
Eat your fish.
(Mouthing): yes, you are.
Um...
Why would you think that, beary?
I don't know.
Sometimes I feel...
Different.
Like dex and me.
We don't look the same.
Our eyes are different colors and he has freckles, and I don't.
I think.
Are you serious?
That's why you think you're different?
Dad: you know, um...
Last week it was "casual friday" at the office and I guess I forgot and I wore a tie.
(Parents laughing)
and boy...
Did I feel different!
It was...
Yeah.
The point is that it's not unusual to feel different and...
Those differences always lead us to our higher purpose.
Higher purpose?
Honey, even if you were adopted we would love you as much as we love dexter.
Maybe more.
Just remember, son the people who love you no matter what...
That's your family.
Okay.
I'm going to go practice.
Did you know the bears made the only country song ever go be recorded in polish?!
Whoa!
Really?!
And did you know that nobody cares?
(Strumming gentle tune)
(door opens)
way to go, doofus.
You're, like, totally wrecking this family.
Um, what are you talking about?
(Sighs)
you really want to know what I'm talking about?
Okay, this is my baby picture.
This is yours.
Yeah?
See this?
This is my birth certificate.
Here's yours.
The rangers used this to track you.
So...
What's your point?
(Sputtering)
forget it.
That?
That's the day mom and dad got you.
What do you mean...
"Got me"?
I mean, picked you up, man.
You were left alone.
They brought you home, they showed you a bunch of barney videos and they pretended you were their son.
You don't belong here.
(Sighs softly)
(crickets chirping)
(dog barking in distance)
at country bear hall you could be different and still fit in.
Yup.
Different.
(Sighing)
(acoustic guitar playing up-tempo intro)
sometimes it's just the goin' you've got to go and you don't even know if it's the right thing to do nobody else can be showin' which way to go and you're not even sure of where you're goin' to but it's a start in your heart (goat bleating)
sometimes it's just the goin'...
(Insects and birds chirping)
(rooster crowing)
country bear hall!
(Gasps)
wow!
(Honking)
whoa!
Hey!
Uh...
Man: 25 cents?!
Do you have change for a hundred?
(Grunts)
hello, reed.
I thought you weren't coming back until you could tear the place down.
That's a whole four days away, henry.
The people that owned the bank before you wouldn't mind if I got behind in my payments a month or two.
They'd cut me some slack.
Uh-huh.
How far behind are you right now?
Uh...
Six...
Years.
Six years?
$20,000.
Must be tough.
You had a good run, henry but good things must come to an end, luckily.
That also applies to lame junkie things like country bear hall.
Do you like the sound of crunching wood?
I do.
(Sighs)
(wood creaking, inhaling deeply)
(gasps)
oh, like that's going to help.
(Laughing)
(muttering): brother...
(Car engine starting)
if you're going to stand there you might as well give me a hand.
(Sighin)
what's that?
A sign.
Yeah, but...
"Destroy"?
Right.
Well...
They're going to tear down country bear hall.
Tear down country bear hall?
Yeah.
Tear down country bear hall?!
Uh...
Yeah.
Sir, officer hamm.
And officer cheets.
Hamm and cheets?
Yeah.
(Chuckle)
w-we get that all the time.
Well, it's your name.
Mm-hmm.
Uh-huh.
I thought you officers might enjoy a little nibble of something.
Ah...
When I'm upset, I bake.
(Whimper)
(sobbing): please help yourself!
Okay, um...
About your boy...
Um, his name is beary.
"B-a-r..." No, it's "b-e-a-r" like in...
The german spelling of the name.
(Crying)
oh, man, are you kidding me?!
Don't worry, young buck.
We'll find your brother for you.
Here now.
There we go.
Now you're an honorary deputy.
Gee, thanks.
I'm sure all the kids on the playground will be really impressed.
Yeah, well, don't arrest anybody.
(Doors creaking)
henry: yeah, this place would fill up every weekend night.
Really?
I tell you, a lot of great music was on that stage.
There's flat and scruggs, liver lips mcgraw, gomer.
Jimi hendrix opened here for vanilla fudge.
But nobody, but nobody was like the country bears.
Huh!
Place would be packed-- people sitting everywhere even up in the rafters.
You know, sometimes I'd climb up there just to hear the notes.
What notes?
The music.
The millions of notes that floated up there...
Some of the best darn notes ever.
Well, why don't you stop them before they start to tear the place down?
Why?
$20,000, That's why.
You don't got it, I don't got it.
Good-bye, country bear hall.
I can't raise that kind of cash.
Four days from now, this place comes a-tumbling down.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute!
I got it!
I heard that some people have a higher purpose in life.
Well.
I belong here.
I belong here helping you save this place.
Nah.
And we can do it with a concert to raise the money.
We can get the band back together!
Get the band back to...!
Uh-huh.
Get the...
Get the...!
Oh, that's the stupidest thing.
Never in a million years.
But this place-- it's historic.
No.
The notes in the rafters.
No!
I know they'll do it.
Oh, come on now.
They could play a show.
Now, stop it, okay?
Just forget it.
Stop it.
But wait, you're not...
I said stop!
It's over.
Dumb kid.
Stupid idea.
Get the band back together.
(Scoffing)
you could do that.
Oh, look, even if we found them, uh...
A concert?
Yeah, you need equipment and tickets and promotion and...
Everything.
I don't know.
I could do that.
Oh, al.
Look, let's face it.
In a week from now, some teenager's going to be teaching us how to operate a deep fryer.
We could do that.
Does he have any distinguishing marks something that we can recognize him by?
I-i...
Yeah.
He's got thick brown hair...
All over his body.
Uh, you know, I think I may have a recent photograph of him if-if that would help you out.
Oh...
He looks like a...
Fourth grader?
That's right.
Yeah.
Cutie pie.
(Sobbing)
okay, you know what?
I'm going to go to my room now and, uh, I'm going to stay there till I'm 18.
Okay, we're all done here.
Are you going to find him?
Ma'am, we're going to do more than that.
How are we going to do more than that?
Huh?
What are we going to do, find him twice?
All right.
Let's get mobile.
There's a town down the road where I ain't been before (audience clapping along)
nobody knows my name or what I'm looking for (guitar riff)
maybe things will be a little different 'cause it can't stay the same...
(Groaning sigh)
(single guitar playing)
beary: I'm gonna ease on down the road hmm?
Where nobody knows my name (sighing)
if they think about me tonight I know they won't miss the pain 'cause I'll be taking it down the road where nobody knows my name yeah.
Uh...
(Clears throat)
hey.
Henry?
Uh, well, if we're going to get the band back together we're going to need some transportation.
(Gasping)
(henry laughing)

Uh, no.
Big al: get off my grass.
He was making a mess on my grass.

Don't you worry about nothing, henry.
You just go get them boys.

Grass.
(Loud clattering)
so you want to be a rock 'n' roll star then listen now to what I say just get an electric guitar and take some time and learn how to play and in a week or two, if you make the charts the girls will tear you apart...
Beary: so, is fred still in show business?
Henry: yeah, you could say that.
Hey, fred.

Okay.

Uh...
Yeah, well...
Oh, look at this one.
Winning that talent show was our big break.
What's an "arm musician"?
(Laughing)

He was real talented.
(Armpit farting to the tune of "the 1812 overture")
but he was a bad loser.
Wait, wait, wait a minute.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
He hit zeb with a chair.
What's that?
That there's a sign.
I'm aware of that.
"Reunion benefit concert." Uh, watch the grass.

Uh, would you happen to know if there's a zeb zoober here?
Zeb zoober?
Yeah.
The zeb zoober that sleeps on my floor?
The zeb zoober that owes me $500?
The zeb zoober that won't stop calling me cha-cha?
Set me up, cha-cha!
Sounds like him.
Zeb zoober.
I can't get rid of zeb zoober.
(Ecstatic moaning)
hey, there, zeb.
(Moaning continues)
henry?
Fred?
Is that you?
Now, come on, zeb, what do you say?
You give up the honey and come with us, hmm?
Guys, even if I wanted to leave town, I couldn't.
I owe cha-cha over there a lot of money.
I'm hungry.
Want to split an order of salmon fingers?
Oh, fred.
How about twigs and berries?
(Gasping)
excuse me, ma'am.
What's that boy doing?
I don't know.
Okay, it's a deal.
You're zeb zoober.
Yeah, well, that may be true but, i-i...
Who is this guy?
Well, that's beary.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen can I have your attention here for a minute?
Now, as most of you know zeb zoober owes me a whole heap of money.
But his little friend there has proposed a wager.
My house band versus zeb's fiddle in a little musical duel.
Now, if he wins, he owes me nothing but if he loses, I get to keep the country bear tour bus.
What?
This should be good.
Son, that bus is our only means of transportation.
Not to mention that's where I raised my kids.
Plus, I don't think you've all seen the house band.
(Fast rockabilly intro)

(Chuckling)

I was wondering.
What ever happened to tennessee?
Saw him a few years ago.
He's still the same heartbroke mixed-up, psycho, basket case crybaby.
So, what's he doing?
He's a marriage counselor.
Huh?
I'm tired!
I've been with the baby all day.
Look, I work all day.
I get a lot of stress from my boss.
I come home, I just want to relax.
Is that too much to ask?
I mean, what do you think?
What do I think?
I think you two are so dang lucky to have each other.
Oh, I'm sure you might fight over the dishes but at the end of the day...
(Sobbing): at least you're going to be together.
Not like me.
Not like me and trixie!
(Pounding and sobbing)
oh, I lost her!
Trixie!
(Wailing and sobbing)

He's good.

Don't tell me you're getting the band back together.
Tennessee...
We're getting the band back together.
(Horn honking)
tennessee: I'm sorry, boys.
I just can't play the thing not without trixie there.
I...
Why'd she break up with you?
Was it that sweater you're wearing?
Took off with some rich, millionaire, real estate guy.
A panda!
(Grunts)
what's with the pandas?
They get everything.
You're telling me.
You sure it wasn't that sweater?
Zeb!
Huh?
If I knew where she was I'd be there in a second.
Ah, but even if I could play, who'd come?
Nobody cares about the country bears no more.
Nobody even knows who we are.
Hey, how's everybody doing?
Oh, my gosh.
You're the country bears.
Oh...
You know who we are?
Sure.
You guys inspired me to go after my dream to become a famous singer.
Did you make it?
Yeah, fred, she made it.
She just works here for the free uniform.

None taken.
I'm still working on it.

Officer: pull over.
Pull over.
Pull over immediately or...

Or...
Or-or what?
Or we'll make you pull over.
Or we'll make you pull over.
Shake these fellas.
Shake 'em!
(Engine revs)

gone in a breeze I keep blowing down the road...
(Tires screech)
(yelling)

Well, now they're gone in a breeze...
Whoa.
(Revving)

I'm scared.
All right, it's time to lose these guys.

How about a little thing I call "hiding in the car wash." Uh, how's that work?
We hide in the car wash.
Oh.
(All shouting)
(loud thud)
("car wash" intro playing)

I lost them.
What do you mean, you lost them?
How do you lose a bus?

Bedderhead we...
Kid...
We need everyone to make this happen, and we need you.
Now, listen, kid...
Uh, uh...
Who is this guy?
(All talking at once)

Uh, no, no, no.
That was a long time ago, kid.
Things change.
Frankly, your little nostalgic field trip you know, is kind of pathetic.
Well, maybe it was.
Sorry to have bothered you, ted.
People are waiting for me.
You found your way in.
You can find your way out.
Hmm!
That guy's turned into a real...
(Squawking)
I'm going to go get the bus.
My mistake, everyone.
Don't know what I was thinking.
It's not your fault, henry.
It's mine.
This whole thing was my idea.
No, no, now, it's nobody's fault.
(Sobs): but it might as well be mine!
Why don't you just...?
Tennessee...
Right.
Come on, fred.
(Sighs)

(Sighs)
(band playing "it's not unusual" by tom jones)

And you're going.
(Grunts)
officer hamm: when the kidnappers call to make their demands we just agree with whatever they say.
I already told you guys he hasn't been kidnapped.
He's with the country bears.
Listen to me, son you can be sure that they're going to be keeping him in some creepy underground lair high up in the building until they get their ransom, okay?
Would you guys listen to me?
There's not going to be any ransom.
He's with the country bears.
They're doing a concert tonight...
At country bear hall.
They just said that to distract you sports fan.
Besides...
The country bears back together?
(Laughing)
son, listen, leave the police work to the professionals, okay?
Sure.
Just...
Tell me when they get here.
Good kid.
He's a keeper.
Yeah.
Ted: all these years, I haven't been able to face you guys.
I pretty much lost everything.
So I been trying to make a buck.
Singing at weddings and stuff like that.
Well, at least you're not doing children's birthday parties.
(Laughing)
well, uh, I am.
All: really?
But we saw your house...
Your gardener.
(Chuckles): that's not my gardener.
That's elton john.
Told ya.
I rent a room over the garage from him.
Well, now, brother, that's okay 'cause we's all together again.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Just 'cause I'm telling the truth doesn't mean I'm dumb.
Huh?
Roadie, stop the bus.
Ted: okay, have you rehearsed?
What songs you gonna to do?
Who's doing sound?
Tennessee: well, we ain't exactly figured all that out yet, ted.
Ted (sighs): same old country bears.
Zeb: come on, ted.
You do kind of owe us.
I mean, you were the reason we broke up.
(All agreeing)
well!
There it is.
Knew that was coming up.
I'm the reason we stayed together, zeb.
Did any of you-- any of you-- ever thank me?
We all had our jobs to do, ted.
Uh-huh.
Oh, right.
Drinkin'...
Blubberin', and...
Starin' into space.
Hey!
Huh?
What we were...
Was years ago.
Blubberin'?
Uh, uh...
Well, you were blubberin'.
Hey?
Okay, there.
(All arguing)
guys!
Hey, hey, guys!
(Groans)
guys!
You know, in people magazine, april 1983 you all said that the bears was your family.
And like a family...
Kid, that's just a bunch of meaningless publicity.
You don't know nothing about the real bears, understand?
Nothin'!
We are not a family.
You're right.
This isn't a family.
'Cause the people who love you no matter what?
That's your family.
Who told you that, beary?
My dad.
(Sighs)
my dad.
Wh...
Wh...
Hold on, beary.
(Birds chirping)
(door opens)
mom?
Beary.
Beary!
Beary, beary, beary!
Oh!
There's my good boy!
Are you all right?
Did they hurt you?
Did they brainwash you?
How many fingers am I holding up?
(Chuckles): I'm fine, mom.
Oh, honey.
Norbert!
Norbert!
Yeah, hon, what is it?
Hi, dad.
(Screams): oh!
Beary!
Oh, beary, beary my beary boy!
Oh!
(Laughing and sobbing)
hey, doofus.
Hey, dex.
Look who's home.
Come here!
(Laughing)
(laughs)
aw, beary left his stuff.
Hmm...
"My hero," by beary barrington, fourth grade.
"My hero is really heroes "and my heroes are the country bears.
"Whenever I'm sad "I play one of their songs "and I forget why I was even sad at all.
"And if you'd met my brother you'd know why I was always sad." Hmm.
"I can't really say zeb is my hero, or fred, or ted or even tennessee." "But as the country bears, what they can do together makes them my heroes." "I'd like to meet them someday.
That would be cool." It says here "a+, but is everything about the country bears?" Hey.
Beary's a sharp little guy.
This morning he told me something else.
Mr. Chicken...
Is a girl.
(Sighs)
(laugh)
it's a pretty straightforward demolition, mr.
Thimple.
Take about a half hour to bulldoze her to the ground.
Oh, yes...
Do that.
(Cow mooing)
(doorbell ringing)
mom: dex, honey, would you get that?
Okay.
And tell beary to come down for some pie.
Beary!
Pie!
(Door opening)
dex: uh...
Beary?
Hey.
That ted guy is here.
You want me to kick him out?
Ted?
Ted bedderhead is here?
Yeah.
You, uh, you left your stuff on the bus.
You can keep it.
I don't want it.
Um, look, i, uh...
Mm...
I hope you know how lucky you are.
It only took you three days to understand something that took me ten years to figure out.
What's that?
Mr. Chicken is a girl.
What?
(Chuckling)
(laughing)
I got ya.
Really, I want to tell you that I'm sorry.
I was mad-- not at you-- and I'm sorry.
And that thing you wrote in your journal about us being great when we're together?
It's true.
(Gasping)
you're going to do the show?
Nah, we're not doing the show.
Not without you.
Whoo-hoo!
Y'all come with me.
We can all ride together on the...
Bus?
Bus?
The bus was stolen.
It was that thimple fella.
(Maniacal laughter)
come on, move along.
Move it.
Come on.
What are you waiting for?
Thimple, I'm definitely changing banks.
Oh, pooh.
I hate it when we lose a customer.
We have to find them.
They have to do that show.
Beary, beary.
Your stuff was on that bus, right?
Yeah.
All your stuff?
We can track them with this.
Yeah.
Come on.

Okay, in you go, big boy.
Hey, hey, hey, no, no.
Stop!

Whoa.
(Tires screeching)

Thimple: go on.
Get in there!
Get in there!
Why are you doing this?
I can't have that show.
I can't have you ruin what I've been working on for 30 years.
30 Years!

(Song ends)
(cheering and applause)
don was: 14 platinum records, 26 top ten singles.
The bears to me really typify rock and roll.
Their lives embody freedom.
Nobody tells them what to do.
(Groaning)
(screaming)
hello.
Everybody loves the bears.
The reason I do what is because of the bears.
I needed a...
You know...
Somebody that I could relate to, a certain band and the bears-- they justfor me, you know?
I admired their, uh, courage.
(Sobbing)
and their tenacity.
(Whimpering)
and their ability to go out and fight for what they believed in.
(Sobbing)
real legends.
It's incredible.
(Laughing)
and I'm glad we dyou know, during wintertime.
(Snoring)
hmm?
The country was cool and all, but, you know it was becoming the hip-hop generation, you know.
People wanted the beat.
The streets was pop.
You know what I mean?
Let 'em feel what the country feel like when it's bangin'.
Bow, unh.
You know what I'm saying?
Huh.
We could do that.
I found myself going back and-and sampling some of the baselines that the bears had and-and then we used it in our first single and got sued by 'em.
