[ SISTER ]: WHEN MAMA GETS A JOB,

THE CUBS FIND IT STRANGE,

[ BROTHER ]: FILLING HER SHOES

AND DEALING WITH CHANGE.

[ HUMMING ]

WHAT'CHA DOING, MAMA?

I'M WORKING ON MY NEW QUILT, BROTHER.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FINISH IT FOR A WHILE,

BUT TODAY FOR SURE!

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

YOU DO?

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FLY MY NEW TETHER PLANE, TOO,

FOR TWO WHOLE HOURS.

I WANT TO FLY IT FOR "SHOW-AND-DO DAY"

AT SCHOOL, BUT I'M NOT GOOD.

BUT I COULD BE...WITH SOME HELP.

CO-PILOT TO PILOT: PREPARE FOR TAKEOFF!

GOOD, GOOD! NOW YOU'VE GOT THE HANG OF IT.

TRY MAKING A FIGURE EIGHT, JUST LIKE YOU WERE DRAWING ONE.

I'M DOING IT! I'M FLYING A FIGURE EIGHT.

WONDERFUL! NOW, PRACTICE THAT AND,

WHEN YOU FEEL YOU'VE MASTERED IT,

WE'LL TRY A LOOP-THE-LOOP.

OK, THANKS, MAMA. YOU'RE THE BEST.

OH!

LET ME GUESS.

"SHOW-AND-DO DAY" IS COMING UP.

YOU WANT TO SHOW HOW YOU CAN JUMP ROPE,

BUT YOU NEED SOMEONE TO KEEP COUNT FOR YOU.

HA-HA-HA, YES! BECAUSE I SKIP FASTER THAN I CAN COUNT.

HOW DID YOU KNOW, MAMA?

DIDN'T YOU KNOW? ALL MOTHERS ARE MIND-READERS. READY?

YOU'RE THE BEST MAMA EVER!

ONE, TWO, THREE,

FOUR...HUH?

OK, WHICH ONE?

I'M PAINTING THE LAST TABLE FOR MY BIG FURNITURE SALE TOMORROW,

BUT I CAN'T DECIDE.

THE BLUER BLUE, OR THE NOT-SO-BLUE BLUE?

I LIKE...24...THAT HONEY COLOUR YOU USED TO USE...28.

HAVEN'T SEEN THAT IN...30...

A LONG TIME... 32, 33...

YOU'RE RIGHT. TOASTY HONEY YELLOW IT IS.

BEARS LOVE IT.

YOU HAVE THE BEST EYE, MAMA.

WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU?

46, 47, 48...

HMM, YOU DON'T SEE WORKMANSHIP LIKE THIS ANY MORE.

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

AND I LOVE THAT TOASTY HONEY COLOUR.

NOT TO MENTION THE PINKS AND THE REDS.

THESE QUILTS WILL LOOK FABULOUS ON MY CUBS' BEDS.

HOW MUCH ARE YOU ASKING FOR THEM?

EXCUSE ME! BUT I THINK I SAW THEM FIRST.

NO! MAMA MADE THOSE FOR US!

[ CHUCKLING ]

I'M SORRY. THESE QUILTS AREN'T FOR SALE.

I'M JUST AIRING THEM OUT.

REALLY? WHAT A SHAME.

THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

I KNOW LOTS OF BEARS WHO'D JUMP AT THE CHANCE

TO BUY QUILTS LIKE THESE.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT

OF GOING INTO BUSINESS?

[ CHUCKLING ]

I THINK ONE BUSINESS BEAR IN

THE FAMILY IS ENOUGH. RIGHT, MAMA?

SPEAKING OF WHICH, CAN I SHOW

YOU LADIES SOME CHAIRS?

HMM.

[ GULPING ]

OHH, THANKS, MAMA.

LOOKS LIKE THE FURNITURE SALE WAS A SUCCESS.

SURE WAS, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW

I'M GOING TO FILL ALL THOSE ORDERS.

I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT SELLING MY QUILTS.

BUT I AM ONE OF THE BEST QUILT MAKERS IN BEAR COUNTRY,

IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF.

AND OTHER QUILT MAKERS COME TO ME FOR HELP AND ADVICE, TOO.

UH-HUH... HONEY NUT BROWN

OR TOASTY HONEY YELLOW? WHICH ONE?

YOU KNOW, IF I DID GO INTO BUSINESS,

OH, THE WONDERFUL QUILTS I COULD MAKE.

LIKE ONE WITH THE CHANGE OF SEASONS.

WITH LEAVES FALLING, PUMPKINS, A HORN OF PLENTY.

[ GASPING ]

AND A SPRING THEME WOULD BE GREAT, TOO.

WITH FLOWERS AND BLUEBIRDS.

[ SIGHING ]

BUT THERE JUST NEVER SEEMS TO BE ENOUGH TIME.

WAIT TILL I GET THE LOOP-THE-LOOP WORKING.

BEATS SKIPPING TO A THOUSAND ANY OLD DAY.

MAMA IS GOING TO COUNT ME UP TO 2,000.

COME ON, YOU TWO.

HONEY COMB PANCAKES GETTING COLD.

AND WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO TODAY?

I'VE GOT A JOB.

I'M GOING TO OPEN MY OWN QUILT-MAKING BUSINESS.

[ GASPING ]

I'VE GIVEN THIS A LOT OF THOUGHT.

AND MY QUILT CLUB FRIENDS HAVE OFFERED TO HELP ME GET IT READY.

BUT, MAMA, YOU CAN'T BE A BUSINESS BEAR.

YOU'RE OUR MAMA!

THAT'S NO REASON WHY I SHOULDN'T OPEN MY OWN QUILT SHOP.

A LOT OF MAMA BEARS HAVE JOBS.

MRS. HONEYBEAR IS A TEACHER AND DR. GERT GRIZZLY IS YOUR DOCTOR.

BUT THEY'RE NOT OUR MAMA.

YOU KNOW, FOR ME, HAVING A QUILT BUSINESS IS LIKE

WANTING TO SKIP TO 1,000 OR

DOING NEAT TRICKS WITH A TETHER PLANE.

OR EVEN MAKING FURNITURE.

BUT, BUT...I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN THINGS ARE DIFFERENT.

WE LIKE THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE.

COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.

THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE AROUND HERE A BIT,

BUT THAT'S OK.

NOT ALL CHANGES ARE BAD.

BUT, B-BUT WHO'S GOING TO RUN OUR TREE HOUSE

AND TAKE CARE OF THE GARDEN AND...

LOOKS LIKE I NEED A LITTLE HELP.

BUT I'M SURE MY FAMILY IS UP TO THE CHALLENGE.

BUT, PAPA, WE NEED MAMA TO BE HERE.

RIGHT -- WE NEED HER

TO HELP US WITH STUFF.

LIKE, WHO'S GOING TO COUNT WHEN I SKIP ROPE?

AND HOW ABOUT MY LOOP-THE-LOOP?

HMM...

LISTEN TO US TALKING ABOUT ME, ME, ME,

AND "WHO'S GOING TO HELP US?"

THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE WE REALLY SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT.

HOW WE CAN HELP MAMA?

HOW CAN WE HELP MAMA?

WELL...THERE'S A LOT MAMA DOES AROUND HERE:

LAUNDRY, WEED THE GARDEN, PUT THE PHOTOS IN THE ALBUM,

DROP THE BOOKS OFF AT THE LIBRARY,

HELP YOU TWO GET YOUR HOMEWORK DONE...

[ GROANING AND CHUCKLING ]

TIDY YOUR ROOMS, DUST, VACUUM, AND TAKE THE OLD TOYS

TO THE DAY BEAR CENTRE,

CIRCULATE POSTERS FOR THE CHURCH BAZAAR, HELP OUT AT THE LIBRARY,

AND VISIT SICK MS. McGRIZZ.

WELL, IF WE'RE GOING TO HELP MAMA...

WE BETTER GET GOING.

NOW YOU'VE GOT IT! KEEP IT TAUT.

225, 226, 227,

228, 229,

230, 231...

[ SNIFFING ]

MMM,

SOMETHING SMELLS GOOD!

MAMA'S HOME!

YAY!

IT'S SUPPER, MAMA.

AND WE MADE IT.

WE CALL IT,

BEAR FAMILY LATE-NIGHT STEW.

GUESS WHAT? SISTER REACHED

1,000 JUMPS TODAY.

BROTHER COUNTED FOR ME, AND PAPA HELPED HIM DO

A LOOP-THE-LOOP WITH HIS PLANE.

WE HAD A GREAT FLIGHT.

AND THE CUBS HELPED ME PICK PAINT COLOURS.

I SEE.

[ SIGHING ]

AND WE WEEDED THE GARDEN AND VACUUMED THE FLOOR, TOO.

AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT, WELL, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET TO PLAY?

BUT THEN, IT WAS KIND OF LIKE PLAYING. WEIRD, HUH?

[ LAUGHING ]

IT SURE IS. THANK YOU.

I'M VERY PROUD OF ALL OF YOU.

AND WE'RE VERY PROUD

OF YOU, TOO, MAMA.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR COMING

TO THE GRAND OPENING OF THE BEAR COUNTRY QUILT SHOP.

AND AN EXTRA THANK YOU TO MY FAMILY,

WHOSE SUPPORT GOT ME TO THIS DAY.

THIS TIME, I SAW IT FIRST.

HMMF, I DON'T THINK SO.

IT'S OK, IT'S OK! LOOK.

MAMA MADE TWO THE VERY SAME.

OH!

PAPA, PAPA,

EVEN THE MAYOR AND MRS. HONEYPOT CAME!

[ CHUCKLING ]

DOESN'T SURPRISE ME -- AS I ALWAYS SAID,

"THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM IN THIS FAMILY FOR TWO BUSINESS BEARS."

WHEW! WHAT A DAY.

EVERY BED IN BEAR COUNTRY MUST HAVE

ONE OF YOUR QUILTS ON IT TONIGHT, MAMA.

[ LAUGHING ]

YES. THE MAYOR ORDERED THREE!

I SAY WE CELEBRATE WITH SOME BEAR FAMILY LATE-NIGHT STEW.

HOW ABOUT WE GO TO BEARTOWN BURGER FOR SUPPER INSTEAD?

MY TREAT.

[ CHEERING ]

A TOAST...

TO A GREAT OPENING DAY AND MANY MORE GREAT DAYS TO COME

FOR MAMA'S BEAR COUNTRY QUILT SHOP.

DOES THIS MEAN THAT WE GET TO HAVE SUPPER

AT THE BEARTOWN BURGER EVERY NIGHT?

[ LAUGHING ]

OH, BROTHER.

♪

[ BROTHER ]: BULLIES CAN POINT OUT WHAT ABOUT YOU IS WRONG,

BUT A GOOD FRIEND CAN SHOW YOU WHAT ABOUT YOU IS STRONG.

WOOHOO! GO BROTHER, YEAH!

ALL RIGHT!

BROTHER, BROTHER, HE'S SO FAST,

BUT HE'LL NEVER GET IT PAST...HUH?

YES! HA-HA-HA-HA!

HUH?

SO WHAT?

SOCCER IS BROTHER'S GAME.

BROTHER IS GOING TO TRY A SWISH.

TOO BAD HE WON'T GET HIS WISH.

HUH?

[ STRAINING ]

YES!

SO WHAT? BASKETBALL IS BROTHER'S OTHER GAME.

NICE HIT!

YES!

YAY, BROTHER... YEAH, WOOHOO, YEAH!

I GUESS BASEBALL IS BROTHER'S OTHER, OTHER GAME.

RIGHT, TOO-TALL?

THAT'S THE THIRD TIME YOU MADE ME LOOK LIKE A DOOFUS, BROTHER.

HA, WELL, I DIDN'T DO IT BY MYSELF, TOO-TALL. YOU HELPED.

YOU EVER THINK ABOUT JOINING THE SCHOOL WRESTLING TEAM?

ME AND THE BOYS COULD TEACH YOU A FEW...MOVES.

THANKS, BUT NO THANKS, TOO-TALL.

WRESTLING IS YOUR GAME, NOT MINE.

OH?

WELL, YOU JUST WON YOURSELF A FREE LESSON.

FIRST THING TOMORROW IN THE SCHOOL YARD.

GREAT GAME YESTERDAY, BROTHER.

YES. TOO BAD TOO-TALL DIDN'T THINK SO.

IF YOU ASK ME,

TOO-TALL DOESN'T THINK...

PERIOD.

UH-OH, LOOKS LIKE TOO-TALL IS FIXING

TO NOOGIE SOME POOR CUB'S SKULL.

I WONDER WHO THAT MIGHT BE.

WHY DOES HE LIKE TO PICK ON YOU SO MUCH?

AH, IT'S OK, COUSIN FRED. I JUST IGNORE HIM.

HEY!

HUH?

[ GRUNTING ]

WAAA...!

UH-OH.

LOOKS LIKE A NEW CUB'S JUST FOUND THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE.

HEY.

LOOK AT THAT!

HUH?

[ LAUGHING ]

HA-HA! MADE YOU LOOK.

HEY! LOOK OVER THERE.

WHA--

[ LAUGHING ]
