Yogi Bear Page #3

"Stay away from the campers."

This is different.

Jellystone is in real trouble.

If I don't raise $30,000 in a week,

this park's getting rezoned.

Rezoned? What does that mean?

It means the park won't

be a park anymore.

The city will use this land

for something else.

So we have got to do everything

we can to help save it.

Which means you have gotta stop stealing

food so that campers will leave here happy.

But they do leave here happy.

Getting your food stolen by Yogi Bear

is special. People come here for that.

It's like catching a foul ball

at a baseball game.

Nope. It's like getting your food stolen

at a baseball game.

Come on, Yogi. Would it really be so hard

to be a regular bear?

You know, to forage for food,

to walk around on all fours...

...to hibernate a little, or a lot.

If nature had meant for me

to be a regular bear...

...it wouldn't have given me

such a good thought-cooker, sir.

I can't help it if my melon is

full of smart juice.

Yogi, your melon is hurting this park.

There are repercussions to stealing

people's picnic baskets.

Not in my experience, sir.

On the other hand...

Ranger Smith,

mind if I borrow the 'dilla?

It's an emergency.

Somebody parked without parking decals.

Jones, I would really prefer it if you focused

on just maintaining the park instead.

Let me deal with the visitors

until you've had more experience.

Sorry, sir. Guess that's just

the Eagle Scout in me, you know?

Always wanting to be in control,

be a leader.

Live up to this fanny pack

full of merit badges.

You know that fanny pack is for

first aid supplies, right?

A merit badge in first aid is the only

supply I need, sir.

Right, but it might not be the only

supply a hurt person needs.

You seen Rachel?

Yeah, I saw her.

She was heading up to Lookout Mountain.

She can't be far. I'll drive. Let's roll.

Jones.

The sprawling beauty of Jellystone Park.

A timeless stretch of wilderness

untouched by man.

Oh.

Ranger Smith.

Wow, heh.

What's with the fancy outfit?

Dress greens.

I always wear dress greens in the evening.

You know, in case there's, you know...

- I don't know how to talk to girls.

- Oh.

Why do you think

I spend so much time with animals?

All you have to do is scratch their backside

and you've got a friend for life.

Try that with people...

...and all of a sudden you're the weird girl

on the bus that nobody wants to sit next to.

Um, uh, listen. I was wondering, you know,

if you were...

I mean, it's getting late and we could, uh...

If you want.

I mean, it's not that... You don't... It's...

You know, it's not a worry. Don't worry.

Did you just ask me to dinner?

Yes. I did. Heh.

- Good, you got that, huh?

- Yes.

I just thought, well, it's getting late.

I happen to know this great place.

- Very gourmet.

- Really? Where?

So close you won't believe it.

Wow, how did you ever find this place?

This is a four-star porch.

And fresh from the hot plate,

I give you...

...rack of Spam.

- Oh.

Wow.

Maybe "gourmet" was a bit of a stretch.

No, it actually looks wonderful.

Great.

You know, this really is a peaceful place.

It's something, isn't it?

I pretty much grew up here.

My father was a ranger

when I was a kid...

...and he turned this park into the number

one tourist destination in the state.

I mean, it was a park, you know?

Like families came by the hundreds...

...swam in the streams, hiked on the trails.

It was really something.

This is really good.

Anyway, I don't know.

Maybe it's my fault.

I spent so many years learning everything

I could about the park...

...so I'd be a better ranger.

Maybe instead, I should have come up

with a gimmick to get people to come here.

You know, change the name to

Extreme Jellystone.

- I think that it's perfect just the way it is.

- You do?

You're right.

Absolutely.

There's no better place on earth.

- Hey, Mr. Ranger.

- Except a place without him.

Evening, Mr. Ranger, sir.

Madame Moviemaker Lady.

And yes, I'm using the fancy tense

to show you the utmost respect.

Hi. Ha, ha.

What do you want, Yogi?

Well, I was thinking about the park's

prickly predicament...

...and I would like to do my part to help.

This is all the money I have saved.

Almost $100.

I was going to use it on myself,

but I'd rather donate it to Jellystone.

Well, thank you, Yogi. That's...

That is very sweet.

- Where does a bear get money from?

- That brown box by the parking lot.

The park donation box.

Yep. But I want you to have it.

Consider it a gift to Jellystone.

That won't be hard.

Look, guys, I appreciate the effort.

But what this park needs is visitors

and lots of them.

Well, I can help you there, sir.

Just make me a headliner.

I will rock this place.

- Kick it, Boo Boo.

- Kicking it.

I like big butts and I cannot lie

You other brothers can't deny

That when a girl walks in

With a itty-bitty waist

And a round thing in your face

You get sprung

That's not gonna work either, Yogi.

You're right. We need something

flashier than music. Not a problem.

I've got this water-skiing routine

that will change the face of entertainment.

Got a little of everything.

Music, stunts, magic.

- And I jump over Boo Boo at the end.

- No, you don't.

- I want to try it.

- I don't care.

I hate to interrupt,

but you're not gonna water-ski...

...or dance or do anything

that might disturb the campers, okay?

If what you really want to do

is help save this park...

...you will lay low, stay away from people.

Think you can do that for me?

You have my word, Mr. Ranger.

I will be seen, but not heard.

Or seen.

Fine.

Huh?

You guys done with that Spam?

- Get out of here.

- Okay. Sheesh!

Hey.

What's this?

Seasons pass applications.

Unfortunately,

not a lot of takers on those.

Fifty bucks for an entire year?

Including camping fees? That's a bargain.

If this were a place people wanted

to visit throughout the year.

Maybe Yogi was on to something.

- You said the park was turning 100, right?

- Right.

Well, a big event could really

pull people in.

Yeah, you're right.

We could have, like, a moss collection day

or a big squirrel chase.

- Or...

- Fireworks.

Yes. Exactly. Why didn't I think of that?

We could host a big centennial festival.

People always show up for fireworks.

If even half of the people

buy season passes...

...the park makes enough money

to stay open.

Right. Let's get the word out.

I think I can help with that.

That is great.

How did we pay for it?

We didn't.

It was some fast-food restaurant...

...but I rearranged the letters right

before the plane took off.

You're very cool, Rachel Johnson.

You're pretty cool yourself.

I do have my own kind of

natural swagger.

Jellystone National Park, 100th year

anniversary. There'll be fireworks.

Just stay calm, Jones.

You should be patrolling in the Armadillo

making park-impacting decisions, but...

- Hey, 100th year anniversary.

- Thanks.

But you're not there yet.
