Brother Bear Page #3

Synopsis: Kenai, a man who resents bears after a fight with one kills his older brother, is turned into a bear so he can see life from a different perspective. He is visited by the spirit of his older brother, and is told that, if he wishes to be changed back into a human, he must travel to the place where the lights touch the Earth, in other words, the Northern Lights. Fueled by hope, Kenai sets off on his long journey, and, along the way, encounters a younger bear, Koda, who is a chatterbox and a fun-loving spirit; Koda is trying to find his way back to his home, the Salmon Run, which, coincidentally, is right next to where the lights touch the Earth. Koda and Kenai team up, but are hunted by Kenai's other brother, Denahi, who fears that the bear has killed Kenai as well. Along the way, the two bears meet other friends, including two moose, some rams, and some mammoths, with whom they hitch a ride. However, Kenai discovers that he likes being a bear, and realizes that humans aren't only afraid

Beauty. So we got a lot to get done

today. You want to get started?

- Yeah. Just give me one sec, eh?

- Okay.

Woo-oo-hoo...

- Just help me crack this.

- All right.

Ah.

- You ready now?

- Almost.

Just want to do "dog facing forward. "

- Oh, come on.

- Good. Okay.

And go.

This a nice patch here.

Don't go near this patch here.

Something went here.

Ahh!

Skinny. Fat. Skinny. Fat.

Hey, I've got a mountain to get to.

Come on, kid.

I told you before. My name's Koda.

Say it with me. Ko... Da.

Sure your mom didn't ditch you,

Ko-duh?

Humph.

- Rutt.

- Go away, eh, I'm eating twigs.

- Rutt.

- You're breaking my concentration.

We should start running, like now!

I can't. I'm still digesting, eh.

I'll get cramps.

- Whoa, gee! He's after us!

Come on, little brother.

Cramp!

If you really want to know

how me and my mom got separated...

I was saving this story

for the salmon run, but I'll tell you.

It was probably the fifth or sixth

most coldest day in my entire life.

- Sounds good. You should save it.

- You think so?

- Oh, yeah. For your friends.

- Oh.

- Well, I have this other story.

- Tell you what.

- How about no talking?

- Okay.

- Then I'll sing.

- No, no, no.

Tell everybody I'm on my way

Will you stop it?

New friends and new places to see

Come on, quit it. Shh!

Koda, stop singing.

Yes, I'm on my way

And there's nowhere else

that I'd rather be

Tell everybody I'm on my way

And I'm loving every step I take

With the sun beating down

Yes, I'm on my way

And I can't keep this smile off my face

'Cause there's nothing like

seeing each other again

No matter what the distance between

And the stories that we tell

will make you smile

Oh, it really lifts my heart

So tell them all I'm on my way

New friends and new places to see

And to sleep under the stars

Who could ask for more?

With the moon keeping watch over me

Not the snow, not the rain

can change my mind

The sun will come out, wait and see

And the feeling of the wind in your face

Can lift your heart, whoa

There's nowhere I would rather be

'Cause I'm on my way now

Well and true

I'm on my way now

Hey, hold on, eh?

Wait up.

- How's it going, bear boy?

- And, uh, smallish bear.

I didn't know you had a little brother.

He's cute.

- Actually, he's...

- There was this hunter following us.

We was thinking if we could

maybe just hang out with you guys.

- Just hang out.

- Yeah, it'd be fun.

- If the hunter was going to catch up...

- Then you'd eat him.

- That's what we was thinking.

- We lost the hunter at the glacier.

You don't think he'll follow those?

- They are quite nice.

- I've got an idea.

Okay, this is really weird.

- I'm driving.

- When can I have a turn?

It's not as easy as it looks.

Just watch what I do.

Let's get a back seat or something.

I look like you hunted me.

Tell everybody I'm on my way

Hey, come on.

And I just can't wait to be there

Blue skies ahead

Yes, I'm on my way

Nothing but good times to share

So tell everybody I'm on my way

And I just can't wait to be home

With the sun beating down

Yes, I'm on my way

With nothing but good times to show

I'm on my way

Yes, I'm on my way

Beauty, eh?

Okay, here's how I remember it.

The snow is white, it's all right.

Yellow or green, it's just not clean.

I learned that one the hard way.

That reminds me. Last year at the

salmon run my friend Bucky dared me.

But I'd heard of a cub

who stuck his tongue to an iceberg.

Then he started to float away.

To save him

they had to rip off his tongue,

so now he hath to talk like thith

all the time and...

- Do you ever stop talking?

- Oh!

Look. The night rainbow.

- You can see the spirits from here.

- You know about the great spirits?

Yeah, my grandma's up there,

and my granddad.

Mom says the spirits make

all the magical changes in the world.

Like how the leaves change colour,

or the moon changes shapes,

- or tadpoles change into frogs.

- Yeah, I get it.

You know, for a change, maybe

they could just leave things alone.

- What do you mean?

- My brother's a spirit.

If it wasn't for him, I...

I wouldn't be here.

You have a brother up there?

- What happened to him?

- He was killed by a...

By a monster.

What's your brother's name?

Sitka.

Thanks, Sitka. If it weren't for you,

I would have never met Kenai.

I always wanted a brother.

So, you want to play "I spy"?

- All right. I'll go first.

- Okay.

I spy something green.

- Tree?

- Oh!

- My turn?

- Yeah.

Okay, I spy something tall.

- Tree.

- Okay.

I spy something with bark.

Tree?

Okay, I spy something, uh...

- A vertical log.

- Tree.

- Okay, I spy something...

- Tree.

- My turn.

- Tree.

- No, I...

- It counts.

- I didn't even spy anything.

- It counts.

Okay. Tree.

Let's play something else.

Koda. Come on.

- Koda, wake up.

- Two more months, Mom.

So, where are we?

Well, which way?

- I think it's that way.

- You think, or you know?

That way?

Why wasn't I turned

into a homing pigeon?

- Come on.

- Hey, riding mammoths was your idea.

Thanks for the ride, guys. See you.

Lucky for you,

I've been lost worse than this.

- Last summer, I was with Bucky...

- Enough with the stories.

I don't care about the time

you and Binky found

the world's biggest pine cone ever.

First of all, his name's Bucky, not Binky.

Second, it wasn't a pine cone,

it was a pine nut.

And it was huge.

Even bigger than your fat head.

Oh, gee,

our big guardian bear is leaving, eh?

Yeah. We'd better follow him. Come on.

- Can you swing your leg...

- I can't get off.

Me, neither. Okay, you guys...

I guess we'll just catch up

with those guys later, eh?

- Good trip, eh?

- Beauty.

You know, I was thinking now

might be a good time for me to drive.

Just relax and enjoy the ride.

Yeah. Okay.

Whee.

I'm sorry we're lost, okay?

- Even though it's your fault.

- My fault?

That's it.

Just remember, if it weren't for me,

you'd be hanging upside down.

Better than being stuck nowhere

with you and your blabbering mouth.

"I'm lost. I can't find my mommy.

Will you take me to the salmon run?"

- Why don't you just grow up?

- Fine. I'll go on my own then.

- Fine. Go ahead.

- Fine.

- Fine.

- Fine.

KENAl:
Koda?

Koda?

Whoa.

Those monsters are really scary.

Especially with those sticks.

Come on, let's go.

So, you recognise anything yet?

Or maybe you can't see past

my fat head.

So, do you really think

I have a fat head?

Well, if you hunched your shoulders

a little it wouldn't seem so big.

Oh, you mean like this?

Or like this?

How about this?

Oh, my, that was good.

Maybe they can

give us directions.

Oh!

- That clears up the sinuses.

- Oh, it does.

Okay, okay, hit me again.

I think she's looking.

- Hello, sweetie.

- Yes, she's checking me out, all right.

- Hey, baby.

- No, come on, you nitwit.

Are you out of your head?

She's looking at me.

Like she's looking at your ugly mug?

Come on.

Excuse me, miss. It's go-time, baby.
