## Dialogue

    [From trailer]
    Tigger: Bluga-dee-bloo! [pounces on top of Pooh]
    Winnie the Pooh: A simple hello would do, thank you very much.
    Tigger: It's a dangerous path I bounce, but I bounce it alone. Because the Hundred Acre Wood needs a hero, Pooh Bear, and I'm the only one.
    Winnie the Pooh: Good morning, Eeyore. Lovely day, isn't it?
    Eeyore: Wish I could say yes, but I can't.
    Winnie the Pooh: Oh my, Eeyore. You wouldn't happen to have any honey lying about, would you? You see, I seem to have run out. [tummy continues to rumble] Oh, yes. Good idea, tummy. Perhaps I should look in back. Bother. No honey in here, either. What? Eeyore, what has happened to your tail?
    Eeyore: What has happened to it?
    Winnie the Pooh: Well... it isn't there.
    Eeyore: That accounts for a good deal. That explains everything. No wonder. [sighs]
    Owl: Oh! There it is. I'd recognize it anywhere. The very tree where I was hatched. I remember the day Mother made these marks, her giant meaty claw carving furrows in the crumbly bark. Chapter one, the birth of a genius.
    Winnie the Pooh: Pardon me, Owl. What are you doing?
    Owl: Hmm? Oh, hello, Pooh. Eeyore. Why, I'm penning my personal memoirs. [chuckling] Yes. Now, where was I? Oh, yes, of course. With steely nerve...
    Winnie the Pooh: Perhaps you could take a short break from your important work and help us find Eeyore's tail?
    Owl: ...and I rocketed towards Eeyore's tail! Eeyore's tail? What's wrong with Eeyore's tail?
    Winnie the Pooh: Well, it isn't there.
    Owl: Yes. So I see.
    Winnie the Pooh: Won't you help us, Owl? You have such a talent for speaking and telling us what to do.
    Owl: Oh, thank you, Pooh. Yes, I do, don't I? I didn't think anyone noticed. All right, take this. Write this down carefully. Now, the customary procedure in such cases is as follows…
    Winnie the Pooh: Excuse me, Owl, but what does "Crustimoney Proseedcake" mean? For I am a bear of very little brain and long words bother me.
    Owl: It means "the thing to do."
    Winnie the Pooh: Oh. Well, as long as it means that, I don't mind.
    Owl: Yes, well, the thing to do is as follows: First, issue a reward...
    Winnie the Pooh: Gesundheit.
    Owl: I beg your pardon?
    Winnie the Pooh: Well, you sneezed just as you were going to tell me what the first thing to do was.
    Owl: I didn't sneeze.
    Eeyore: Oh, you did, Owl.
    Owl: No, I didn't! You can't sneeze without knowing it!
    Winnie the Pooh: Well, you can't know it without something having been sneezed.
    Owl: [pauses] As I was saying, first: issue a reward...
    Winnie the Pooh: [to Eeyore] He's doing it again. [to Owl] You must be catching a cold.
    Eeyore: [gloomily] I'll probably catch it, too.
    Owl: [frustrated] No, no, no! I'm not catching a cold! The word is ISSUE, not AH-CHOO! And 'ah-choo' isn't even a word! It's just some sort of sneezy sound, like 'Ah-choo!'
    Winnie the Pooh: Perhaps you should lie down, Owl.
    Owl: Oh! [facepalms and falls over backwards]
    Eeyore: My throat feels a little scratchy.
    Winnie the Pooh: Open wide, please.
    Eeyore: Ahh.
    Winnie the Pooh: Just as I suspected. Owl, we need honey.
    Owl: Enough of this infernal folderol! Look, the thing to do is, we write a notice promising a large something to anyone who finds a replacement tail for Eeyore! Is that clear?
    Winnie the Pooh: That sounds like a wonderful plan, Owl.
    Owl: Excellent. Now, we shall get Christopher Robin to write out the notices, and we'll put them up all over the forest.
    Winnie the Pooh: Perhaps I could borrow some honey. [his stomach growls] Just a taste. A small lick, I should think.
    Christopher Robin: Silly old bear.
    Winnie the Pooh: [after seeing his shadow turn into a honey pot] Does anybody see that?
    Kanga: See what, honey?
    Winnie the Pooh: Honey?! [tummy rumbles] Oh...!
    Rabbit: I can't wait to see the honey on that Backson's honey when he falls into our honey! Eh, Owl?
    Owl: That cheeky honey will honey twice before honeying our honey again!
    Roo: After we honey the honey, can I honey a honey?
    Kanga!: Uh-uh-uh. No honey before honey, honey.
    Piglet: [turns into a honey pot in hallucination] Honey up, Pooh! We have to honey!
    All others: Honey! Ooh, honey! Yes! Honey!
    Narrator: As Pooh watched the honey honey away, his honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey...
    [All the text in the book page reads "honey".]
    [Pooh, Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga and Roo are trapped in a hole and Piglet gets a rope - only to cut it up into six pieces]
    Piglet: And six! There! Now you can ALL get out!
    Winnie the Pooh: How very thoughtful you are, Piglet.
    Rabbit: [loses his patience] Good grief! Tie them together, Piglet! Can you tie a knot?
    Piglet: I cannot.
    Rabbit: Ah, so you CAN knot.
    Piglet: No. I cannot knot.
    Rabbit: [in disbelief] Not knot?
    Winnie the Pooh: Who's there?
    Rabbit: Pooh!
    Winnie the Pooh: Pooh who?
    Rabbit: No! Pooh...eh...Piglet, you'll need more than two knots.
    Piglet: Not possible.
    Owl: Ah, so it is possible to knot those pieces.
    Piglet: Not these pieces!
    Winnie the Pooh: Yes. Knot those pieces.
    Piglet: Why not?
    Eeyore: Because it's all for naught.
    [Christopher Robin has returned and everyone hugs him]
    Rabbit: How did you escape from the Backson?
    Christopher Robin: [confused] "Backson"? What on earth is a Backson?
    Kanga: He wakes up babies!
    Tigger: He swipes your stripes!
    Piglet: He puts out the lights!
    Winnie the Pooh: Yes, and... we thought he took you from us.
    Christopher Robin: Who gave you the idea I was taken by a Backson?
    Winnie the Pooh: Your note.
    [Pooh hands Christopher Robin the note he left him; Christopher Robin explains that he misread it and what it really meant]
    Narrator: Christopher Robin explained that it all been a misunderstanding. And now that it was Autumn, the school year had begun. His note was simply to say he had gone out and would be "back soon."
    All but Owl: Oh...! [They glance over at Owl dissatisfied]
    Owl: Ooh, um... [Runs away without a word]
    Christopher Robin: Okay...
    Winnie the Pooh: Have you ever had one of those days when you just can't win, Eeyore?
    Eeyore: Yup, I know how that feels.
    [Last lines]
    Christopher Robin: You know, Pooh, you did a very important thing today.
    Winnie the Pooh: I did?
    Christopher Robin: Well, yes; Instead of thinking of your tummy, you thought of your friend!
    Winnie the Pooh: Oh, thank you, Christopher Robin! And now, I don't think I shall be hungry again for a good long while! [his tummy rumbles] Oh, bother...
    Christopher Robin: Silly old bear.
    [Last lines; in the post-credits scene]
    The Backson: [enters stomping until he spots the trail of objects] Wow! It's amazing what you can find in the woods. A marble! And a boot! [picks up a blackboard with a chalk drawing of himself] And oh, my, that's a scary looking fella. Gosh, maybe these are his things. You know, I better pick 'em up so they won't get broken. That's the last thing I would want. Whoa, whoa! [falls in pit] Oof! Oh, my gosh! Is this a pit? I think I'm in a pit! Hello! Is anybody up there? Oh, well. I sure hope that fella will be back soon.
