## Transcript

[crow cawing]

Rabbit: Ah, do you know what happens in just one more day, Pooh Bear?

Pooh: Yes, Rabbit. I believe tomorrow happens. Or is it the day after yesterday? [giggling] No. That's today. [giggling] I think.

Rabbit: No, Pooh Bear. It's the most wonderful day of the year. The day I harvest my garden. Ah, the flawless vegetables at the peak of their tastiness. Can you hear them? The beautiful crops calling out to be harvested.

Pooh: I believe I hear my stomach calling out for honey. [giggling]

Rabbit: And that lovely day is almost here.

[crows cawing]

Pooh: Perhaps I might help you harvest, Rabbit?

Rabbit: No, Pooh Bear. I could never trust anyone else with that. Why, uh, I hardly trust myself. And I could certainly never trust it to those-- crows!

[cawing]

Rabbit: Quick, Pooh Bear! My broom! Trespassers! I'll make feather dusters of you all! No, no! The broom! If there's one thing I hate more than a crow, it's four crows!

[cawing]

Pooh: Rabbit, I believe I've found your-- Oh, bother.

Rabbit: I must keep those beasts away until after the harvest.

Pooh: Your broom, Rabbit.

Rabbit: Thank you. And I can see I'm going to need help. The purpose of this drill is to get your familiar with the enemy we are facing: the filthiest, trickiest, most evil creature there is.

Piglet: Oh, dear.

Rabbit: I give you the greatest threat a gardener has ever faced: the crow.

Tigger: Hmm. That's funny. When the light hits him a certain way, he kind of resembles Pooh boy.

Pooh: Don't tell anyone, Tigger, but actually I'm me.

Rabbit: Pooh Bear!

Pooh: Oh, yes. [chuckle] I forgot. Ahem. Caw.

Rabbit: Notice the beak: perfectly designed for stealing my corn, the claws for clutching tomatoes.

Tigger: Say, buddy boy, this will do if there's just one crow, but what if there's a gazillion of them?

Rabbit: I'm glad you asked, Tigger, because that's when we'll bring in reinforcements of our own. The crows will see these, think we're doubled our number, and run for their lives. Now, then, Pooh Bear will try to steal vegetables, and I'll show the proper way to catch him. Watch very closely and do just as I do.

Pooh: Caw. Bother.

Rabbit: Pooh Bear, will you come back here so I can--

[clang]

Rabbit: Oh! Ow! Ooh!

Tigger: Ow! Ooh!

Piglet: Ow. Ooh.

Tigger: Look, guys. No feet.

[cawing]

Rabbit: Crow! Follow that crow! Tigger! You stay here and guard the garden with your life!

Tigger: But, long ears, since I'm a tigger, and tiggers never get lost, following crows is what we do best.

Pooh: Um, uh, Rabbit--

Rabbit: You're right, Tigger. Uh, Piglet, you stand guard.

Piglet: Uh, but, Rabbit, I'm just a very small animal, and they're such very large crows.

Pooh: Rabbit, I'd be glad to--

Rabbit: Uh, you have a point, Piglet.

Pooh: I'll be glad to help, Rabbit.

Rabbit: I suppose there's no choice. Just stand here, Pooh Bear, and wait until help arrives.

[cawing]

Rabbit: After that crow!

Pooh: Caw?

[pluck]

Crows: Ow!

[pluck]

Crows: Oh!

Tigger: We're either following a crow or a leaky pillow.

Rabbit: Oh, I do hope Pooh is taking good care of my garden.

Piglet: Don't worry, Rabbit. I'm sure everything will be just fine. I hope.

[laughing]

[cawing]

Pooh: [giggling] I wonder if that's the plants calling out to be harvested. Why, hello. And who are you? Don't tell me. Are you... tomatoes?

Crows: Uh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Pooh: But I never knew tomatoes talked. [gasp] You're not crows, are you?

Crows: No, no, no, no, no.

Pooh: Why, no. You couldn't be crows because crows look like me, which you do not. Ah. You must be the help Rabbit said would arrive.

Crows: Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh.

Pooh: How do you do? I'm Pooh. Have you...flown in from the north?

Crows: Yeah.

Pooh: But you couldn't be penguins. You're a much warmer color, I think. Perhaps you're from the south?

Crows: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah.

[Latin rhythm]

[conga beat]

Tigger: Keep your eyes peeled for a bald bird. Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!

Piglet: Oh, dear. I wonder where we are.

Rabbit: Since you're the tigger who never gets lost, perhaps you could tell us just where we are.

Tigger: That's easy, bunny boy. We're right here.

Rabbit: And where is right here?

Tigger: Just a little northwest of over there, which isn't lost.

Rabbit: If we go much farther, we won't be back for harvest time. Oh, I hope that bear hasn't let anything happen to my garden.

[cawing and souding]

[knocking]

[panting]

[knocking]

Pooh: Oh. Another guest. Is this going to be a feat for friends?

Animals: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Pooh: Perhaps I should get Rabbit and the others.

[cawing and sounding]

Pooh: But don't you want them to see what a fine job we've done with the harvest?

Animals: Ahh.

Pooh: I wish my friends were here to enjoy the party. Why, I know a way they can be here... in a way.

Piglet: We've walked a very great distance and found very few crows.

Rabbit: And it was nothing but a wild goose chase.

Tigger: Wild geeses? I thought we were looking for crows.

[knock on door]

Pooh: Surprise!

[cawing and sounding]

Pooh: I wonder where they're off to in such a hurry. [giggling] I suppose they must be late for their trip south.

[cawing and sounding overhead]

Piglet: Oh, d-d-dear. I think I hear something.

Tigger: Well, whatever it is, you can be sure it's not...

Rabbit: Animal Stampede and Crows! Ruined! My beautiful garden! The Years work, gone, destroyed! Why did I ever leave that fumbling bumbling bear to guard it?

Tigger: Uh, bad judgment?

Pooh: (singing) Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, Dum-dum-dum-dum...

Rabbit: Pooh Bear, I can't believe that, you, you. You harvested my garden.

Tigger: You do this, buddy bear?

Piglet: By yourself?

Rabbit: In such a short time?

Pooh: Welcome to the 'Feast for Friends' Feast.

Rabbit: Why, Pooh Bear, I, (stammering) I don't know what to say.

Pooh: You don't have to say a thing, Rabbit. (laughing) I was glad to help.

Rabbit: B-B-But, how, Pooh? How did you possibly do it?

Pooh: Well, it was very simple, really. I just took a carrot here and a turnip there and... (singing) Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum
