- Gruffi Gummi: You're just wasting work time trying to talk to a dumb bug. Now get to work.
- [the bee stings his behind]
- Gruffi Gummi: Ow!
- Tummi Gummi: He's very sensitive.
- Gruffi Gummi: Yeah, well, so am I... Oww.
- Gruffi Gummi: Swell. The crop's not even half-harvested, and he's standing around singing to bugs. I don't know what kids are coming to these days.
- Gusto Gummi: You know, if we could plant these by color, we could turn the field into a giant painting!
- Gusto Gummi: [swatting with a broom] Chew on this, you - beevil barbarians!
- [they gnaw it down to a stick]
- Gusto Gummi: Hey, it was only a figure of speech.
- Gruffi Gummi: Now, Gusto, do you wanna explain where you're going with this long-range Quick Car?
- Gusto Gummi: Oh, uh... uh - no place special. Just thought I'd take a spin and get some air.
- Gruffi Gummi: [lifts the cover] And so you wouldn't get hungry, you packed a week's supply of food.
- Gusto Gummi: Hey, you know what fresh air can do to a bear's appetite.
- Gruffi Gummi: The Quick Tunnels don't run that far. The tracks might not be able to hold the Car.
- Gusto Gummi: Hey, Gruff, please. You're gonna kill me with overconfidence.
- Zummi Gummi: Well, at least Gusto's along to keep him out of trouble.
- Gruffi Gummi: Yeah, that's like having Tummi guard the cookie jar.
- Tummi Gummi: I sure hope this track holds together.
- Gusto Gummi: Oh, boy, I wish you hadn't said that!
- [Tummi glances behind where he already looks and sees it crumbling]
- Gusto Gummi: We're gonna make it! We're gonna make it!
- Tummi Gummi: Look!
- [pointis to a gap in the track ahead of them]
- Gusto Gummi: We're not gonna make it.
- Tummi Gummi: At least we didn't crash.
- [the track gives way beneath the Car]
- Gusto Gummi: BUT WE'RE GONNA FALL!
- [they do]
- Gusto Gummi: You know, I'll bet someday, people will pay for a ride like that.
- Tummi Gummi: I need some food to settle my stomach.
- Gusto Gummi: Well, we're not eating here.
- Tummi Gummi: We're not?
- Gusto Gummi: Hey, this place is gonna collapse any minute, Tum. We gotta climb out first.
- Tummi Gummi: But that could take hours.
- Gusto Gummi: [shouldering a pack] Well, the faster we climb, the sooner we eat.
- [Tummi mouths "Oh" then grabs a pair of packs and runs up the slope]
- Gusto Gummi: Wow. For a big fella, he can really haul paws when he wants to.
- Gusto Gummi: Excuse me, you're taking us to *the* Great Oak looking like that?
- Tree #1: Like what, barkless?
- Gusto Gummi: It's surprising how you'd let yourselves go.
- Tree #1: Whadaya mean?
- Gusto Gummi: I mean, look how you let last year's leaves just hang there, all limp and yellow.
- [plucks one]
- Tree #1: Ouch!
- Gusto Gummi: And-and that bird nest you're wearing, is years out of style; now that's a definite glamour don't.
- Tree #1: Oh, dear. I-I didn't realize.
- Gusto Gummi: Sure. And your tendrils haven't been flopped for ages.
- Grammi Gummi: Shouldn't we slow down and check on the track ahead? It's in horrible shape.
- Gruffi Gummi: We don't have the time.
- Artie Deco: No need to worry about the track ahead.
- Gruffi Gummi: Why not?
- Artie Deco: THERE ISN'T ANY!
- Gusto Gummi: We're bound to find a bush somewhere. As soon as we find a way down.
- Tummi Gummi: How do we do that?
- [te ground they stand on collapses into the pit]
- Tummi Gummi: I'm sorry I asked.
- Grammi Gummi: Gruffi, shouldn't we be more careful; it might be a trap.
- Gruffi Gummi: Aw, there's nothing around here but some ugly old trees.
- Tree #1: Who you caling ugly, you sapless biped?
- Tummi Gummi: Hey, look. The Gummis and those tree-things used to be pals.
- Gusto Gummi: Hm. No accounting for taste.
- Tree #1: There's no bottom to this gorge as far as we can tell.
- Zummi Gummi: Well, I certainly don't want to be the bear to find one for ya.
- Gusto Gummi: That was usin' the old noggin, Tummer. And these panels have just the right amount of artistic sophistication.
- Artie Deco: I gotta get help.
- [sees Gusto and Tummi]
- Artie Deco: Well, if I can't get any *real* help, those two are better than nothing.
- Tummi Gummi: I have an idea.
- [gets in the cart with Gusto and sets it rolling downhill]
- Artie Deco: What do we do when we get there?
- Tummi Gummi: Good question.
- Gruffi Gummi: Great job, kid. You, uh, really can come through when the gummiberries are down.
- Tummi Gummi: Aw, shucks, Gruffi. It's nothin' your average red-blooded gummiberry fanatic wouldn't've done.
- [everyone laughs]
- [last lines]
- Tummi Gummi: [to the gummiberry sapling he planted] And I'll be come back a lot to meet all your brothers and sisters, I promise. But in the meantime, *please* don't talk to any strange-lookin' bees, OK?
- Tummi Gummi: Ok, maybe the rope is a little long, but if this honey bee works, we'll have more bees, and more bees means...
- Zummi Gummi: More gummiberries. I know, I... but it isn't right to take the great book so lightly. You know, too little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, tummi.
