Piglet:
Pooh, for a bear of very little brain, you sure are a smart one.
Tigger:
Come on, Rabbit. Let's you and me bounce, huh?
Rabbit:
Good heavens! M-m-m-me bounce?
Tigger:
Why, certainly! And look, you've got the feet for it.
Rabbit:
I have?
Tigger:
Sure! Come on, try it! It makes ya feel just grrreat!
Tigger:
Say, who are you?
Narrator:
I'm the narrator.
Tigger:
Oh, well, please, for goodness' sakes, narrate me down from here.
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? 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, look, Piglet. There's something in that tree over there.
Piglet:
Is it one of the f-f-fiercer animals?
Tigger:
Halloo!
Winnie the Pooh:
Yes. It's a "jagular."
Piglet:
W-What do "jagulars" d-do, Pooh?
Winnie the Pooh:
Well, "jagulars" always call, "Halloo!" And when you look up, they drop on you.
Piglet:
I'm looking *down*, 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!
Tigger:
T-T-F-N. Ta-ta for now.
Tigger:
[
singing] The wonderful thing about tiggers / Is tiggers are wonderful things / Their tops are made out of rubber / Their bottoms are made out of springs / They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy fun, fun, fun, fun, fun / But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is I'm the only one / IIIII'm the only one!
[
growls]
Roo:
Don't swing on a string / It's much too frail / The best kind of swing / Is a tigger's tail. Whee!
Rabbit:
Tigger! But... but you're supposed to be lost.
Tigger:
Aw, tiggers never get lost, Bunny Boy.
Rabbit:
Never... get... lost?
Tigger:
Of course not!
Rabbit:
Oh, no.
Roo:
What's the matter, Tigger?
Tigger:
Phew. Oh, thank goodness. I was just getting a little seasick from...
[
gulps]
Tigger:
seeing too much.
Tigger:
Hello, Rabbit! I'm Tigger. T-I double guh...
Rabbit:
Please! Please! Don't spell it! Oh, dear,, will you just... just look at my beautiful garden!
Tigger:
Yyyyyuck! M-messy, isn't it?
Rabbit:
Messy? Messy? It's ruined! It's ruined, Tigger! Why won't you ever stop bouncing?
Tigger:
Why? That's what Tiggers do best! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Winnie the Pooh:
Say, Rabbit. How would it be if once we're out of sight of this old pit, we just try to find it again?
Rabbit:
What's the good of that?
Winnie the Pooh:
Well, it's just that 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:
I don't see much sense in that. If I were to leave this pit, and then come back to it... of course I should find it! I'll prove it to you. Wait here.

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:
[
bounces on Piglet] Hello, Piglet! I'm Tigger!
Piglet:
Oh, Tigger! You sc-c-c-cared me!
Tigger:
Oh, shucks! That was just one of my little bounces!
Piglet:
It was? Oh. Thank you, Tigger.
Tigger:
Yeah, I'm saving my great big bounce for old Long Ears!
Roo:
I bet you can climb trees, huh, Tigger?
Tigger:
Climb trees? Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Why, that's what Tiggers do best! Only Tiggers don't climb trees, they *bounce* 'em! C'mon, let's go! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
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?
Tigger:
If I ever get outta this, I promise never to bounce again! Never!
Rabbit:
I heard that, Tigger!
[
to Christopher Robin, Piglet, and Pooh, hurriedly questioning them]
Rabbit:
He promised! Did you hear him promise? I heard him! I heard him! You heard him, didn't ya? Didn't ya?
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!
Tigger:
[
as Roo is swinging on his tail] Stop that, kid! Please!
[
cut to his point of view]
Tigger:
S-T-O-P, stop! You're rockin' the forest!
Tigger:
Oh, good old terra firma!
[
kisses ground]
Tigger:
Say, I'm so happy I feel like bouncing!
[
starts bouncing, but pauses when Rabbit interuppts him]
Rabbit:
Uh-uh-uh! You promised! You promised!
Tigger:
[
defeatedly falls back to the ground] Oh, I did, didn't I? You mean I-I can't - ever bounce again?
Rabbit:
Never!
Tigger:
[
whimpering] Never?
[
brief silence]
Tigger:
N-Not even just - one, teensy-weensy bounce?
Rabbit:
[
defiantly] Not even a *smidgen* of a bounce!
