We're not going on a bear hunt any more.

(Alex is taking off his jacket.)
Alex: I know how to take my arms out!
Daddy: Oh yeah, good for you!
Alex: I do it at school!


(Gromit wanders over to where Alex and Daddy are working a jigsaw puzzle.)
Alex: Grommie, you don't do the puzzle, silly, you don't have any hands! Silly.


(Alex is reading “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” to himself in bed at nap time.)
Alex: Splish splash. Splish splash. Splish splash. Splish splash. Splish splash. Splish splash.
Alex: Uh… Mud. Oozy mud. We can’t go over, we can’t go under, oh no, we have to go through it! Squelch, squerch, squelch, squerch.
Alex: Oh, a cave! A (mumble mumble) cave. We can’t go over, we can’t go under, oh no, we have to go through it!
(Mumble.)
Alex: Uh-oh, a storm! We’re not scared. Uh-oh, a storm. A (mumble mumble) storm. We can’t go under it, we can’t go through it, oh no, we can go through it. Whooo, whoooo, whooo.
Alex: Uh oh, there’s a cave. A (mumble mumble) cave. We can’t go over it, under it, we can’t go through it. Oh no, we (mumble) go through it.
Alex: Oh this page.
(Pause.)
Alex: Squelch.
(Alex mumbles.)
(Long silence.)
Alex: What’s that?
Alex: One shiny eyes.
Alex: Two shiny eyes.
Alex: One shiny nose.
Alex: That’s a bear!
Alex: Back through the (mumble).
Alex: Back through the storm.
Alex: Back through the (mumble).
Alex: They don’t – um, I don’t know.
Alex: Tumble.
(Alex mumbles.)
Alex: Splish splash, splish splash.
Alex: Whoooo, whooooo.
Alex: Squelch squerch, squelch squerch.
Alex: There’s the door. Oh. We forgot to go back down. Back to the door. Okay back upstairs. Into the bedroom. Under the covers. We’re not going on a bear hunt any more.
Alex: Bye bye, bear.


Alex: I wanna sleep with you.
Daddy: You wanna sleep in Mommy and Daddy’s bed?
Alex: Yeah. With the bear. And Claire will make a funny face. And I will laugh at her.


Alex: Mommy, you forgot to lie on my pillow with me.


Alex: My pants. They’re falling down.


Alex: I like pancakes!
Mommy: You do?
Alex: Yeah.
Mommy: When did you have pancakes?
Alex: Um… I don’t know, Mommy.
Mommy: Did you have them at school?
Alex: Yeah, yesterday.


(Alex and Claire are playing cars and trucks on the deck.)

Alex: I’m the dumper still.
Daddy: Okay.
Alex: And I go to the dump house.
Daddy: All right.
Alex: And then I get the car and I go wherever I want.
Daddy: All right.

Alex: I don’t have any rocks.
Daddy: Well here’s a rock for you.
Alex: But, that’s your birthday card rock.


Alex: I found it, Daddy.
Daddy: Oh good!
Alex: Can you say “Good job, Alex!”?
Daddy: Good job, Alex.
Alex: Thank you.


Alex: I can’t find Nana laughing.


Alex (to Daddy): We're having pumpkin pancakes for you -- you want it, you wanna eat one? It's yummy.


Alex: That's eggs, um Daddy.
Daddy: That's eggs, okay.
Alex: And that's milk.


Daddy (to Alex): After Claire washes hands, Alex will wash hands. And we’ll have pumpkin pancakes.
Alex: Ah – yummy! Can I go look at them?
(Alex goes to look.)
Alex: They’re out now! Yay, yummy! I like pancakes, Daddy!
