Quotes
-
Piglet : Pooh! Haven't you been listening to what Rabbit's been saying?
Winnie the Pooh : I listened, but then I had a small piece of fluff in my ear. Could you say it again, please, Rabbit?
Rabbit : Well, where should I start from?
Winnie the Pooh : Well, from the moment the fluff got in my ear.
Rabbit : Well, when was that?
Winnie the Pooh : I don't know. I couldn't hear properly.
-
Christopher Robin : You're next, Tigger. Jump!
Tigger : Er, *jump*? But Tiggers don't jump, they bounce.
Winnie the Pooh : Then bounce down.
Tigger : Don't be "ridick-orous". Tiggers only bounce up!
Christopher Robin : You can climb down, Tigger.
Tigger : Ah, but tiggers can't climb down, uh, uh, because, uh, oh... oh their tails get in the way!
Rabbit : Hooray! That settles it. If he won't jump, and he can't climb down, then we'll just have to leave him up there forever!
-
Winnie the Pooh : Look, l-look, Piglet. There's something in that tree over there.
Piglet : Is it one of the f-f-fiercer animals?
Tigger : howling
Tigger : [howling over Piglet's line] Hallooooooooo!
Winnie the Pooh : [lifting Piglet] Yes. It's a "jagular."
Piglet : W-What do "jagulars" d-do, Pooh?
Winnie the Pooh : [as he drops Piglet] Well, "jagulars" always call, "Hallooooooooo!" And when you look up... they drop on you.
Piglet : [looking down] I'm lookin *down*, P-P-P-Pooh.
-
Tigger : I "recoggonize" you. You're the one that's stuffed with fluff.
Winnie the Pooh : Yeah. And you're sitting on it.
Tigger : Yeah. And it's comfy, too!
-
Winnie the Pooh : Uh, R-Rabbit?
Rabbit : Yes?
Winnie the Pooh : Say, Rabbit, how would it be if as soon as we're out of sight of this old pit, we just try to find it again?
Rabbit : [baffled] What's the good of that?
Winnie the Pooh : Well, y'see, we keep looking for home, but we keep finding this pit, so I just thought that if we looked for this pit, we might find home.
Rabbit : Hm, I don't see much sense in that. If I were to walk away from this pit, and then walk back to it - of course I shall find it! I'll prove it to you! Wait here!
[marches away]

[Pooh's tummy rumbles]
Piglet : W-w-what was that, Pooh?
Winnie the Pooh : [laughs] My tummy rumbled. Now then - come on, let's go home.
Piglet : But Pooh, do you know the way?
Winnie the Pooh : No, Piglet, but I've got twelve pots of honey in my cupboard, and they've been calling to my tummy.
Piglet : They have?
Winnie the Pooh : Yes, Piglet. I couldn't hear them before because Rabbit would talk. I think I know where they're calling from, so come on. We'll just follow my tummy.
-
Tigger : [looking for Pooh, Rabbit and Piglet who are hiding in a hollow log] That's funny. They must be lost.
[yells into the log]
Tigger : [echoes repeatedly] HELLO! Hey, you blokes! Where are ya?
Winnie the Pooh : [sort of loudly] In...
[Rabbit grabs his mouth]
Rabbit : [whispers] Shush!
Winnie the Pooh : [whispers] I am shushed!
-
Rabbit : I've got a splendid idea! Now listen: we'll take Tigger for a long explore, see, somewhere he's never been before. And we'll lose him there!
Winnie the Pooh : [awakes] Lose him?
Rabbit : Oh, we'll find him again next morning, and mark my words, he'll be a humble Tigger, a small and sad Tigger, and a "oh, rabbit, am I glad to see you" Tigger. And it'll take the bounces out of him, that's what! Now, all in favor, say 'aye'.
Piglet : Aye.
[Pooh falls asleep again]
Piglet : Pooh.
[shakes Pooh awake]
Piglet : Pooh!
Winnie the Pooh : [waking up, then raising his hand] Oh, here.
Rabbit : Oh-ho-ho, good. Just good. Motion carried.
-
Christopher Robin : Hello, Pooh. Hello, Piglet. What's up?
Winnie the Pooh : [pointing up to Tigger and Roo] Tigger and Roo are up.
Kanga : Oh, my goodness! Roo, how did you get up there?
Roo : Easy, Mama. We bounced up.
Kanga : Oh, my goodness. Do be careful, dear!
Roo : I'm all right, Mama, but Tigger's stuck.
Kanga : Oh, what a shame. That's too bad.
Rabbit : No, that's good. You see, he can't bounce anybody up there.
Christopher Robin : Oh, dear. We'll just have to get him down somehow.
Rabbit : Down? Down? Do we have to?
-
Roo : Christopher Robin, I like the old, bouncy Tigger best.
[cut to Tigger sadly walking away]
Christopher Robin : So do I, Roo.
Piglet : I do, too.
Roo : Me, too.
Kanga : Of course, we all do. Don't you agree, Rabbit?
Rabbit : I uh...
Christopher Robin : Well, Rabbit?
Rabbit : Well, uh, uh, that is, I-uh, what I mean...
Winnie the Pooh : Well?
Rabbit : Uh, I uh...
[sighs]
Rabbit : Oh, all right. I guess I like the old Tigger better, too.
Tigger : [Pounces Rabbit] Oh, boy! You mean I can have my bounce back? Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
