Dialogue

[A live-action shot shows a boy's bedroom in a house]
Narrator: [first lines] This could be the room of any small boy. But it just happened to belong to a boy named Christopher Robin. Like any small child, Christopher Robin had toy animals to play with. And together they shared many exciting and unusual adventures. [just as he goes to open a book titled "Winnie the Pooh", it bounces] D'oh! Uh...Huh. Uh, where was I? Oh, yes. They shared many exciting and unusual... [the book bounces again] Huh. What's going on here? Hello? Is anyone there?
Roo: [flies out of the book, bursting it open] YAH-HOO!!! [lands in front of the camera, then waves] Hi, Mr. Narrator. [hops over to an illustrated drawing of Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger]
Narrator: [chuckles] Hello, Roo.
Roo: Are you going to tell a story about Winnie the Pooh? And Piglet?
Narrator: Well, not exactly. Although I can assure you, they'll be joining us very soon.
Roo: Then it must be about my best bouncing buddy, Tigger, huh?
Narrator: Ah, Tigger is right in the thick of things, as always, but this story isn't really about them.
Roo: [while dangling on the top of the book by his tail] Oh, then what is it about?
Narrator: Actually, the story begins with you.
Roo: Me?! [falls off from the top of the book] No way!
Narrator: Yes way!
Kanga: [offscreen] Roo, dear, your breakfast is getting cold.
Roo: That's my mama. I got to go. [leaps into the book] Oh, see you later!
Narrator: [chuckles] See you in a few pages.
[Rabbit mistaking lifts his Easter top hat, and looks shocked at the Easter decorations]
Roo: Happy Easter, Rabbit!
[Rabbit whimpers. From his point of view, Tigger and Pooh wave at him. Piglet laughs as he rocks in his basket]
Rabbit: Easter? EASTER?! Oh, my!
Roo: Well, you remember Easter, don't you? You know, with jellybeans, Easter baskets, and a great big Easter egg hunt.
Rabbit: [loses his patience] Oh no! I'm the temper drama king! [takes off the top hat] Well, Roo. [growls angrily] I'm the temper king! I already just a show-off, you jerk! You couldn't wait to come back here and brag, you been terribly misinformed!! Why, this is… This is your dumb the whole day with you doing all kinds of ridiculous Spring Cleaning Day!!! [now turns red with angriest and screams] AND YOU'VE ALL EXPLODE!!!! [offscreen] I've lost your temper, so you become a loser!! We're doomed who’s being such a bully!!! I'D HATE YOU & RUINED EVERYTHING!!!!! [back to him; angrily throws his hat on the floor] That’s it! I’m never letting you exactly what to do, and you didn't do anything that’s mine ever again! So be it!! [violently stomps on the hat, crumbling it]
Roo: [gives an angrily annoyed] STOP IT!! You did not just say it this way, Rabbit..., since we've finished everything on the list, you’re the one who’s being such a bully. I can do whatever I warning you might already did! In fact, I’m done! I told you I'm NOT spending it with you and you're not listening, either!!!
Rabbit: [beside himself with rage's loud scream] OH, SHUT UP! I MEAN IT! I WILL END YOU!!! I... I want you all out of here and you're going our separate ways forever. And we'd better not be easter without it! [violently takes down a "Happy Easter" banner] Out! Out!
Pooh: [turns to Rabbit, gets angry yelling furiously and loudly ticked off] I AM GOING HOME!!!
Rabbit: [furiously shoving the others outside] : Are you crazy?! THAT’S IT!! All of you, Enough is enough! Now get out!! I! GIVE! UP!! [violently slams his door with a loud rumble of thunderclaps. They glare at Roo sadly walking away without pulls out the Easter egg and cuddles with it, only for Rabbit to angrily snatch it away] OUT!!!!! [angrily slams his door again]
Tigger: (angrily) Huh. Well, that went well. Maybe we should've sung it in a different key. (to Piglet) Piglet, listen to me. It’s not true. It is not true. You’re upset & Bunny Boy’s upset. He doesn't like easter. So you just watch yourself too. Now listen to me. I have something to say to you. When pooh bear blow up a sneeze and get upset with bunny boy and hurt easter's feelings, there’s only one thing to do. Destroy the trap and give them a lesson about allergies.
Piglet: (Crying) I don't think Rabbit is not. It's a complete disaster!
Tigger: [angrily scolds] The place is still a wreck! Now that you even just... afraid of that, I'm starting to get the feeling that Rabbit doesn't want to celebrate Easter... [gulps] ...at all!
Roo:[starts to become dejected & now sad] Huh?
Tigger: Guess there's nothing left to do but go home then. [sighs sadly] Come on, Roo-boy. [finds Roo gone] Roo?
Rabbit: [as Tigger comes to have angrily glare with him] Oh! Tigger! You’re so cranky! What on Earth are you doing here?
Tigger: I COMMAND YOU TO GO! NOW!!
Rabbit: [firmly] I'll never join you!
Tigger: Rabbit, I cannot let you put our family in danger.
Rabbit: Does he look dangerous to you?
Tigger: [furious, in unison] Are not! Roo is really upset about what happened today!
Rabbit: Oh, I see. Roo is upset. Well, what about me? Look at all this mess you've keep defending caused. And you... betrayed on Spring Cleaning Day, no less.
Tigger: I'm not talking about Spring-ity Cleaning Day, GO AWAY!!!
Rabbit: [shoves a feather duster into his mouth] Silence, Tigger, don't say it! Do not quarreling in my house.
Tigger: [removes the feather duster from his mouth threateningly fires burns in his eyes as he starts to lose it] YOU REPLACED ALL OF US!!! DIDN'T YOU?!?
Rabbit: I know you're not happy about relationship with you and you're refuse to listening.
Tigger: [snaps] If you won't tell me what word I'm not supposed to say, It's not us I'm worried about how am I going to know not to say it!? YOU'RE AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!!
Rabbit: [raging furious] MURDERER!!!
Tigger: I WISH I'D NEVER BEEN BORN!!
Rabbit: [aghast] Oh... No... You did not just say that, you did not just say that!
Tigger: I did just say it! I said, "I wish I'd never been born!"
Rabbit: That isn't even a word.
Tigger: I wish I'd never been born! There, I said it again! I wish I'd never been B-O-R-N, born! I wish I'd never been born!
Rabbit: [wincing] Well! I don’t wanna be your friend anymore!
Tigger: Why wouldn't you say it? [gets angry yelling furiously and loudly ticked off] WELL, I AM ANGRY! I'D HATE YOU & EVERYTHING!! All I want to be is, did I mention, I WISH I HAD NEVER BEEN BOOOOOOORN!!!
Rabbit: I had enough and fed up of your dumb the whole day of ridiculous easter! The word is being a bully!
Tigger: [angry] THAT’S IT! I AM VERY ANGRY!!! OH, YOU, ARE, FIRED! YOU ARE FIRED! FIRED!! FIRED!!!
Rabbit: [enraged] SILENCE!! [sighs & groans in frustration] Tigger, I am the temper drama king! I COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE, NOW!
Tigger: [lividly] Oh yeah! You're grounded. You're GROUNDED, Rabbit, You have hate, you have anger but you don’t use the very thing you swore to destroy. It's your fault without another Easter-y egg hunt again!
Rabbit: [irritated] GET OUT AND BE QUIET! Never, ever again!
Tigger: [gasps turns into fury] Then you are in big trouble! This time, you would NOT used to love Easter! T.T.F.E.!! TA TA FOREVER!!! [Tigger screamed furiously storms out and slams the door on his face]
Rabbit: [gasps in angrily] Good!! That’s it, Tigger! Just because I never wanna see you again! I’m never letting spring cleaning with anything that’s mine ever again!
Rabbit: [coldly] I don't understand. Roo was so sad without looking forward to...
Narrator: You felt anger turned to sadness and a tear rolled down from your eye like giving up, was it?
Rabbit: (sobbing) Failure. There can be no Easter. [becomes heartbroken and devastated] What have I done? I'm beginning to believe I'll never see all my friends again! Never!
Narrator: Temper! Temper! You're just never gonna see you're friends, you say! That's fantastic, but I don't you certainly didn't treat them like friends. Don't you remember?
[Flashback clouds appear on top of Rabbit's head of what he said]
Flashback Rabbit: [angrily scolding] I'm the temper drama king! I'm already NOT the Easter Bunny, so I ordering you to EXILE! It makes the rules, it's just a show-off, you jerk! You couldn't wait to come back here and brag, you been terribly misinformed!! Why, this is… This is your dumb the whole day with you doing all kinds of ridiculous Easter! That’s it! I’m never letting you exactly what to do, and you didn't do anything that’s mine ever again! So be it!!
Narrator: You see, Rabbit? You never thought about what your friends wanted. All you ever did was think of yourself.
Rabbit: No, I didn't! Did I?
Narrator: It looks as if you got what you wanted. Now you can always have things your way.
Rabbit: No! That's not what I want. [sobs] Narrator, you said that the pages of the future haven't been written yet. So, does that mean these words can be changed? Please! Tell me I still have time to change! [deliberately falls face first on one of the pages and breaks down crying, then composes himself] No! No, it's not too late. It can't be. [stands up] I'll be a good friend. Yes, that's it. [runs back to his house] I can change. [enters his house and runs towards the box] I'll get their special Easter things. I'll give them Easter. I will! [opens the box] It's not too late! [gasps in sobbing & crying when he discovers that the box is empty] No!
[The screen quickly goes to black]
[last lines]
Narrator: And so, they all hopped off together, on the grandest Easter ever, in the Hundred Acre Wood.
Roo: B.B.F.N.! Bye-bye for now!
