The Tale of the Bunny Picnic      Back      Home
Bean: [Bean and the Dog are hiding, the farmer's sneezing] What's going on?
Dog: Bunnies make him sneeze something awful.
Bean: They do? That gives me an idea.
[leaves the bush]
Dog: Where are you going, bunny? If he sees you... oh no...
Farmer: [sees Bean] Oh no! Stay away from me! Stay away from me or I'll... ACHOO!
Bean: Quick everyone, out in the open!
Lugsy: [to Twitch] If he can do it, so can I.
[after talking quietly to himself in bed]
Bean: [loudly] Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute...
[falls off the bed]
Lugsy: we're waiting...
Bean: Please don't make me go, there's a dog out there!
Father: Dog! Did you say dog?
Bean: Dog!
Father: Dog!
Bean: Dog!
Father: Dog!
Bean: Dog!
Father: Dog!
Lugsy: There's no dog.
Father: No dog?
Lugsy: No dog, it's just his imagination, again.
Twitch: Bean? Bean?
Bean: I'm not Bean, I'm a weasel.
[sniffs]
Lugsy: No no no, you're not a weasel, you're a pain in the...
Great Grandmother and Babble: [opens her door] Next door neighbor.
Bunny: [after Grandpa Bean tells the story of the bunny picnic and the dog and the farmer] But Grandpa Bean, what about the bunny picnic?
Bean: Oh well I'm glad you asked, because there's never been another bunny picnic like it, before or since.
Bunnies: [singing] Hello sunshine/Hello birds on the wing/Hello spring time/We've been living for spring.
Mother: Bulbous! Don't eat that, it's not cooked yet.

Bean: [imagining] I'm not really Bean, I'm not really Bean, I'm not really Bean, I'm a giant tree and that dog can't get me.
[fantasy sequence: Bean's a tree out in the middle of the woods when the dog comes up]
Dog: Sniff sniff sniff, now where'd that bunny go?
[Bean sighs and the dog looks up]
Bean: Nobody here but us trees.
Dog: Right.
Twitch: [Bean's told them he saw a dog] Do you think he's telling the truth?
Lugsy: He says he's a fire breathing dragon, and you ask me if he's telling the TRUTH?
Dog: I'll get that bunny or my name's not, my name's not... whatever it is.
Great Grandmother and Babble: I've only seen two dogs, both at a distance.
Lugsy: You see, Bean?
Bean: I am not Bean, I'm a nasty old owl and I'm going to get you.
[charges at Lugsy but Great Grandmother gets in the way]
Great Grandmother and Babble: Now Bean, you don't have to pretend to be a nasty old owl, why? Because you're a little bunny, at least that's what you are on the outside. Get it?
Twitch: Bean... Bean?
Bean: [hissing] Bean's not here.
Lugsy: Then who're you?
Bean: [hissing] I'm a fire breathing dragon.
Lugsy: I'm not a bad bunny, am I?
Twitch: No.
Lugsy: [shouting] Then why do I have to have a little brother who always pretends he's a fire breathing dragon?
