Winnie the Pooh quotes from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977)

Pooh

Oh, stuff and fluff.

Tigger

Honey! Oh, boy, honey! That's what tiggers like best.

Pooh

I was afraid of that.

Tigger

Oh, say.

Tigger

YUCK! Tiggers don't like honey!

Pooh

But you said that you liked....

Tigger

Yeah, that icky, sticky stuff is only fit for heffalumps and woozles.

Pooh

You mean elephants and weasels.

Tigger

That's what I said, heffalumps and woozles.

It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it.

Pooh

The only reason for being a bee is to make honey. And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it.

Narrator

Winnie the Pooh crawled out of the gorse bush, brushed the prickles from his nose and began to think again.

Pooh

Think, think, think.

Narrator

And the first person he thought of was...

Pooh

Winnie the Pooh?

Narrator

No. Christopher Robin.

Pooh

Oh.

There now. Did I get your tail back on properly, Eeyore?

No matter. Most likely lose it again anyway.

Pooh

Good morning, Christopher Robin.

Oh, good morning, Winnie the Pooh.

Good morning, Pooh bear.

If it is a good morning, which I doubt.

Pooh

There, now. [giggles, then hops out of the mud puddle]

Pooh

Isn't it a clever disguise?

What are you supposed to be?

Pooh

I'm a little, black rain cloud, of course.

Silly old bear.

Pooh

I must be going now. Goodbye, Rabbit.

Rabbit

Well, goodbye, if you're sure you won't have any more.

Pooh

Is there any more?

Rabbit

No, there isn't.

Pooh

I thought not. [tries to climb out the front door but gets stuck]

Pooh

Oh, oh, help and bother! I'm stuck.

Rabbit

Oh, dear. Oh, gracious. Oh. [tries to push Pooh out] Well, it all comes from eating too much.

Pooh

It all comes from not having front doors big enough!

Owl

Blast it all!

Gopher

Good idea! We'll dynamite! Save time.

Owl

Eh, what's the charge?

Gopher

The charge? Oh, about seven sticks of dynamite.

Owl

Oh, no, no, no, no! The cost! The charge in money.

Gopher

Nope, no charge account. I work strictly cash.

Owl

Obviously, but, I should think...

Gopher

Well, I can't stand around lollygagging all day. I got a tight schedule. [falls down a hole, screaming] If you think it over, let me know. You got my card. I'm not in the book, you know.

Owl

Oh. Dash it all, he's gone.

Pooh

After all, he's not in the book, you know.

Owl

Oh.

Kanga

Pooh, Roo has a little surprise for you.

Flowers.

Pooh

Honeysuckle! [tries to eat flowers]

Kanga

No, Pooh, you don't eat them. You smell them.

Pooh

Oh.

Rabbit

Why did I ever invite that bear to lunch? Why, oh, why, oh, why?

Pooh

Could you spare a small smackerel?

Gopher

Say, you ought to do something about that speech impediment, sonny. [offers Pooh his jar of honey]

Pooh

Oh, thank you, Gopher.

The Narrator

Winnie the Pooh lived in this enchanted forest under the name of Sanders, which means he had the name over the door in gold letters and he lived under it. And if Pooh heard his cuckoo clock... [Winnie the Pooh hears his cuckoo clock sound off] He knew it was time for something. But he was a bear of very little brain. Then as he thought, he thought in the thoughtful way he could think.

Winnie the Pooh

Haven't thought of anything, have you? [shakes his head] Well, neither have I. Think, think, think... Oh yes! Time for my stoutness exercise.

The Narrator

Winnie the Pooh crawled out of the gorse bush, brushed the prickles from his nose and began to think again.

Winnie the Pooh

Think, think, think.

The Narrator

And the first person he thought of was...

Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh?

The Narrator

No. Christopher Robin.

Winnie the Pooh

Oh.

The Narrator

Christopher Robin lived in another part of the forest, where he could be near his friends and help them with their problems. On this summer day, gloomy old Eeyore, being stuffed with sawdust, had lost his tail again.

Eeyore, this won't hurt.

Never does.

Ooh, heh, heh. There now. Did I get your tail back on properly, Eeyore?

No matter. Most likely lose it again anyway.

Owl

It is my considered opinion that Eeyore's tail should be placed a trifle to the... right.

Kanga

Now, if you would ask me, I think it just a wee bit...

South!

Kanga

No, no. North, dear.

Cheer up, Eeyore. Don't be so gloomy. Try swishing it.

Owl

It worked, it worked!

Oh Goody! Hooray!

Thanks. It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it.

Winnie the Pooh

Good morning, Christopher Robin!

Oh, good morning, Winnie the Pooh!

Kanga

Good morning, Pooh!

Owl

Good morning, Pooh!

Good morning, Pooh Bear!

If it is a good morning, which I doubt.

What are you looking for, Pooh Bear?

Winnie the Pooh

I just said to myself coming along thinking and wondering if you had such a thing as a umm, such a thing, Christopher... as a balloon about you?

What do you want a balloon for?

Winnie the Pooh

Psst... Honey.

But you don't get honey with a balloon.

Winnie the Pooh

I do.

How?

Winnie the Pooh

I just fly like a bee, up to the honey tree, see!

But, just a minute. You can't fool the bees that way.

Winnie the Pooh

You'll see. Now, would you be so kind as to pull me to a muddy place of which I know of?

The Narrator

So Christopher Robin pulled Winnie the Pooh to the very muddy place. And Pooh rolled and rolled until he was black all over.

Winnie the Pooh

There, now. [chuckles] Isn't it a clever disguise?

What are you supposed to be?

Winnie the Pooh

I'm a little black rain cloud, of course.

Silly old bear.

Winnie the Pooh

Now, would you aim me as the bees, please?

Careful, Pooh. Hold on tight. [hands Pooh the balloon]

Winnie the Pooh

Yes.

Four!

Winnie the Pooh

Yes.

Three!

Winnie the Pooh

Yes.

Two!

Winnie the Pooh

Yes!

One!

Winnie the Pooh

Could you spare a small smackerel?

Gopher

Say, you ought to do something about that speech impediment, sonny. [offers Winnie the Pooh his jar of honey]

Winnie the Pooh

Oh, thank you, Gopher.

Rabbit

Oh, no! Not that! No, no, no, no, no! Not one drop!

Winnie the Pooh

But, Rabbit, I wasn't going to eat it. I was just going to taste it.

Rabbit

I'll taste it for you.

Gopher

That supercilious scoundrel confiscated my honey.

Rabbit

Don't feed the bear!

Gopher

I'm going to skedaddle. I'm not in the book. And I'm ding danged glad of it!

Rabbit

Oh, there he goes!

Gopher

Sufferin' sassafrass! He is sailing clean out of the book! Quick, turn the page!

Stuck again.

Don't worry, Pooh! We'll get you out!

Winnie the Pooh

No hurry. Take your time. Yum, yum! [singing] Bears love honey and I'm a Pooh bear! Yum, yum, yum, yum! Time for something sweet!

The Narrator

So we come to the next chapter, in which...

Winnie the Pooh

But, I haven't finished yet!

The Narrator

But, Pooh, you're in the next chapter.

Winnie the Pooh

Oh. What happens to me?

The Narrator

Well, let's turn the page and find out. Now one fine day, the east wind traded places with the west wind, and that's turned things up a bit all through the Hundred Acre Wood.

Piglet

Oh dear, oh dear, dear!

Owl

Well, I say! Someone hasn't - [Winnie the Pooh pops up as well] Pooh. Did you do it?

Winnie the Pooh

I don't think so.

The Narrator

As soon as Christopher Robin heard of the disaster, he hurried to the scene of Owl's misfortune.

What a pity. Owl, I don't think we will ever be able to fix it.

If you ask me, when a house looks like that, it's time to find another one.

That's a very good idea, Eeyore.

It might take a day or two, but I'll find a new one.

Winnie the Pooh

Good-bye, Piglet. Now, is the next chapter all about me?

The Narrator

No, no, it's mostly about Tigger.

Winnie the Pooh

Oh, brother.

The Narrator

But, you're in it.

Winnie the Pooh

Oh, good. What will I be doing?

The Narrator

Well, there goes Tigger, always bouncing in on his friends when they least expect him. [the scene fades to Piglet sweeping up leaves when Tigger bounces him]

Piglet

I'm looking down, p-p-p-Pooh.

Tigger

Hellooooo!

Hey Tigger, it's Pooh and Piglet! Pooh! Piglet!

Winnie the Pooh

Why, it's only Tigger and Roo. Come on.

Pooh, what do you like doing best in the world?

Winnie the Pooh

What I like best is me going to visit you and you saying "how about a smackarill of honey?"

I like that too. But what I like best is just doing nothing.

Winnie the Pooh

How do you do just nothing?

Well, it's when the grown-ups ask" what are you going to do?" and you're saying nothing and then you go out and do it.

Winnie the Pooh

I like that. Let's do it all the time!

You know something Pooh? I'm not going to do just nothing any more.

Winnie the Pooh

You mean never again?

Well, not so much. Pooh, when I'm away just doing nothing will you come up here sometimes?

Winnie the Pooh

You mean alone? Just me?

Yes. And Pooh. Promise you won't forget me, ever?

Winnie the Pooh

Oh I won't Christopher, I promise.

Not even when I'm a hundred?

Winnie the Pooh

How old shall I be then?

Ninety-nine, silly old bear.

The Narrator

Wherever they go and whatever happens to them on the way in that enchanted place on top of the forest, a little bear will always be waiting.
