Brother Bear

Edit

Mabel: This year, I lost my dear husband, Edgar.
Edgar: Stop tellin' everyone I'm dead!

Kenai: I'm not a bear. I hate bears.
Rutt: Well, gee, eh, you're one big beaver.

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.

[trying to break the news to Koda that he killed his mother]
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.

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.
[lays down on the mammoth's tusks, sighs]
Koda: I always wanted a brother.

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.

[looking at a cave painting of a hunter stalking a bear]
Koda: Those monsters are real scary. Especially with their sticks.

[as Kenai transforms into a bear]
Spirit Voices: [in Inuit] Come with me, I'll take you now to a place that you fear. For no reason why, your heart has turned away from me, and I will make you understand. Everything will become clear to you when you see things through another's eyes. Everything will become clear to you whatever's meant for you, you will find. Come with me, I'll take you there to a place where you'll see everything you need to be the one you need to be, and all of those things that you feared will disappear from you in time.

Tuke: I love... dew.
Rutt: I love dew too.

[last lines]
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.

Tanana: I don't speak "bear".

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]
Tuke: ... sorry.
Rutt: You went too far that time.

Tanana: [looking at Kenai's body after he's transformed] Hmm, strange. The spirits don't usually make these kind of changes! Oh, m...
[looks inside his mouth]
Tanana: Oh, my, my, my my... Sitka must have something really big planned for you, yup, yup, yup. You're gonna get a whole new perspective on things! Oh, do you see in black and white, or color?

Tuke: How's it going, bear?
Kenai: Don't call me that.
Tuke: Sorry, um... Mister Bear?

Kenai: [of his totem] The bear of love?
Tanana: A love that connects and unites all living things.
[Kenai looks back to see Denahi laughing silently at him]
Kenai: [whispering] Who wants to trade?
Tanana: There is NO trading!
[smacks him over the head]

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

[first lines]
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...

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.

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 tells Denahi he wants to remain a bear to watch over Koda]
Kenai: But... Denahi...
Denahi: It's all right, Kenai. No matter what you choose, you'll always be my little brother.
[they hug and Kenai transforms back into a bear]
Denahi: Whoa... Did I say little?

[after a caribou stampede]
Kenai: Never try to milk a caribou.

Kenai: I was transformed into a bear, magically. I was lifted into the sky by my brother.
Tuke: Uh-huh.
Tuke: [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: I'm not crazy!
Tuke: Who ever said you were? We understand. either.
Kenai: You do?
Tuke: Yeah, we're not really moose either.
Rutt: We're not?
Tuke: No, we're more... like squirrels.
Rutt: Oh, yeah. Beauty, eh? Well, he's a squirrel. I'm more of a pure-breed wolverine. Look at these cuspids. Rrrr!
Tuke: Give him some room.
Kenai: Why am I even talking to a couple of dumb moose?
Tuke: No, we're squirrels, eh?
Rutt: Wolverine.

Rutt: I can't believe you totaled a mammoth.
Tuke: Hey, that mountain came out of nowhere.
Rutt: I cannot accept what you have to say.
Tuke: Oh, come on, it was in my blind spot!

[arguing with his echo]
Ram: Hey, shut up!
Echo: Hey, shut up!
Ram: No, you shut up!
Echo: No, you shut up!
[later]
Ram: [tired] No... YOU shut up!
Echo: No... YOU shut up!

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.
[starts speaking in his language]
Mabel: If only EDGAR was alive.
Edgar: I told you, woman, I'm right here.
Bo: I love you, buttercup.

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!

[telling stories at Salmon Run]
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?

Rutt: Oh, I wouldn't go that way, eh.
Tuke: Why not?
Rutt: Uh, there was a reason.
Tuke: Well you brought it up.
Rutt: I'm trying, but you keep talking...
[Kenai is caught in a snare and the moose watch him bounce around]
Tuke: So, you think of it yet?
Rutt: No, but it's driving me nuts too, eh?

[to his brother]
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.

[about receiving his totem]
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.

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!
[pause]
Rutt: Tree!
Tuke: Ohh, let's play something else.

Kenai: I'm not a beaver, I'm a bea-, no, I mean I'm not a bear, I'm a MAN!

Tuke: [sees Denahi] R-Rutt...
Rutt: Go away, eh? I'm eating twigs.
Tuke: Rutt...
Rutt: Go away, eh? You're breaking my concentration.
Tuke: We should go...
Rutt: Why?
Tuke: ...like right now.
Rutt: I can't, I'm still digesting. I'll get cramps, eh?
[Sees Denahi]
Rutt: Ah, gee, he's after us!
Tuke: Get going, little brother!
Rutt: Ow, ooh... Cramp!

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: Hey, I've got a mountain to get to. Come on, 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-da?

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

[after Kenai got his totem "The Bear of Love"]
Denahi: THERE he is. Ha ha! Come here, lover boy.
[noogies him]
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?
Kenai: [throws a band of flowers on his head] 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.
[while prancing around throwing flowers]
Denahi: Kenai loves me, he loves me not. Kenai loves me, he loves me not...

Sitka: [to Kenai of Denahi] 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...
[upsets a dog and backs away]
Denahi: Whoa.
Girls: Hi, Denahi.
Denahi: Uh, hi...
[he backs into the dog and gets bitten in the rear]
Kenai: Oooh.

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

Koda: [playing with his reflection in an iceberg] Skinny... fat! Skinny... fat!

[about hunters]
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*!

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. Well, what do you expect from a little brother?
[noogies Koda]

Koda: [asleep] Two more months, Mom...

[Tuke is "driving" a mammoth]
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.

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,
[smugly]
Tanana: some of us, beauty...

Chipmunk: Well, they were right here a second ago, and now they're gone!
Second Chipmunk: [with stuffed cheeks] Yeah... that's really weird, huh?
Chipmunk: So, you're telling me YOU didn't eat 'em, and you have NO IDEA where they are?
Kenai: H-hey! You! You just talked!
Chipmunk: J-just... b-back away... real slow-like...
Kenai: How'd you DO that?
[the Second Chipmunk spits out a mouthful of acorns and they both run away]
Chipmunk: I KNEW you had them in there!

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...
[he looks away for a second, hinting for Kenai to try. Kenai gives his best effort at roaring]
Koda: Nice try. Uh, you got a little spit right there...

Rutt: Hey, you know what this calls for? A pile of delicious barley and amber wheat on a cool bed of malted hops, eh.
Tuke: I like it!

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.

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