Brother Bear Page #4

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

You want to go? Bring it on.

- Horns up.

- Hold on.

- Excuse me.

- What do you want?

- What is that?

- Just a minute, bear.

Hey, shut up.

No, you shut up.

Hey, will you shut up?

Just shut up.

Their horns are screwed on too tight.

Oh, wait a second.

- I know this place.

- You do?

Yeah. The salmon run's not far.

We just have to go through here.

What?

Hey, you sure you know

where you're going?

Yeah, yeah, follow me.

Koda?

Koda?

Koda?

Where are you?

Yah!

- Don't do that.

- Scared you, didn't I?

There's scared,

and then there's surprised.

And you were both.

Whoa!

Nice try.

Uh, you got a little spit right there.

- Kenai!

- You're not getting me this time.

No, look out.

No.

Come on.

Kenai.

Kenai, where are you?

Left. Left. No, the other left.

Kenai!

Whoa! Whoa!

No!

What are you doing?

We got to get out of here.

Ah!

Why do they hate us, Kenai?

- We're bears.

- So?

So, you know how they are.

They're killers.

Wait a minute, who's the killers?

- Bears.

- What? Which bears?

I'm not like that, and you're not like that.

Well, obviously not all bears.

I mean, you're okay.

Most bears will look for any excuse

to attack a human.

But, Kenai, he attacked us.

You're just a cub.

When you're older, you'll understand.

Fish! Fish! Fish!

- Huh?

We made it. We're here.

- Come on!

- What? Koda.

Fish! Fish! Fish!

- Hey. Get away from me.

Get away from me. Go on. Shoo!

Huh?

Hey, you're stirring up the water, dude.

Yeah, try not to scare off

the fish there, buddy.

- Uh...

Tug.

Hey, Koda. Come here.

Look at you.

- Have you seen my mom yet?

- No, as a matter of fact I haven't.

- Me and my friend Kenai beat her.

- He's with you?

Uh... Hi.

Huh. I've never seen you

at the run before.

- Where are you from?

- Well, I...

There's the mountain,

just like I promised.

The lights touch the top every night.

Gonna be harder getting up there

than riding those mammoths.

- Mammoths?

- Are you kidding?

- That's weird.

Yeah.

He does weird stuff.

Like the way he drinks water with a leaf.

He never sharpens his claws on a tree.

He's never hibernated before...

Koda. Koda.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Excuse us.

Hmm. He's kind of jumpy, isn't he?

Okay. Okay.

Koda, I, uh...

- Uh, I got to get going.

- Well, when you come back...

I... I won't be coming back.

What? Why not?

Because... Well, it's hard to...

- You're leaving?

- No.

Well, I mean, yes.

Well, it's just that I...

- I don't belong here.

- Don't belong?

Every bear belongs here.

Come on, buddy.

Everyone's invited

We're all here for each other

Happy to give

All we have, we share

Precious moments you'll never forget

This has to be the most beautiful

The most peaceful place

I've ever been to

It's nothing like I've ever seen before

When I think how far I've come

I can't believe it

Yet I see it

And then I see family

I see the way we used to be

- Come on

We're here to share it all

All right, settle down, everyone.

Settle down. Hey.

Don't throw your fish bones there.

Somebody could choke on that.

Look, okay, I'll go first.

Okay, let's see. The most interesting

thing that happened to me this year.

Hmm...

Oh, I know, I know, I know! Listen to this.

It was when I knocked down that tree

that was blocking the view

from my cave.

Now I got a family of chipmunks

staying in my place.

Yeah.

All right, everybody,

let me see some paws in the air.

- Who's gonna be next? Come on.

- Tug. I got one.

Watch me. Hey, gotcha.

This year I lost my dear husband Edgar.

Quit telling everyone I'm dead!

Sometimes I can still hear his voice.

I'm getting the next one.

Oh, yeah.

- This is it. I got it. I got...

- I guess it's our turn.

This is the year

I met the most gorgeous...

No, you're gorgeous.

- You're gorgeous-er.

- Get a cave.

If only Edgar was alive...

I told you, woman,

I'm right here!

- I love you, buttercup.

- This has got to be it.

- Here you go, Koda.

- You gotta tell it, Kenai.

- What?

- Yes. You caught it, you tell it.

Didn't you play when you were a cub?

- Um...

Come on, Keno.

Okay, all right already. All right.

- You want to know what I did this year?

Yes.

I went on the longest, hardest, most

exhausting journey I've ever been on

with the biggest pain in the neck

I've ever met.

What do you expect

from a little brother?

Okay, buddy, your turn.

- Let's hear it, Koda.

- Okay, okay, here we go.

This year I watched my mom

in a life-and-death struggle

battling the most fiercest creature ever.

- Who's next?

- What?

Wait a minute. I think we all want

to hear the rest of that one, Koda.

I thought you might say that.

Hmm... Let's see.

It was probably the fifth or sixth

most coldest day in my entire life.

Me and Mom were eating fish,

having a great time.

All of a sudden she pushes me into

the bushes and tells me to be real quiet.

She says, "I smell something. "

So I started sniffing.

There's something in the woods

running towards us,

getting closer and closer.

And then, out of the trees,

jumps a hunter.

And now there's nowhere for Mom to go.

The monster has her backed up

against this giant glacier.

The monster attacks,

but Mom's too quick for him.

And before he can do it again, she

stands up real big and yells, "Go away. "

Kenai.

Mom smells more of them.

There's a whole pack

coming right at us.

Sitka, no. The bear. Behind you.

She runs to stop them

before they get to me.

They're all around her,

poking her with sticks.

- KENAl:
Sitka.

- The whole thing broke and fell off.

There was ice everywhere.

She couldn't hold her breath

any longer, and pow.

She bursts out of the water.

I've never been so scared in my life.

- KENAl:
I'm going after the bear.

- Koda?

Sitka wouldn't want it.

KENAl:
Sitka's not here

because of that monster.

Whoa. Fell off a glacier?

I've never seen anything like that.
