"What are you drawing, Celestine?" " A bear." " And who's that?" "A mouse." " They're friends." " That ruins it." " It's not ruined." " Yes it is!" " Is not!" " Is too!" "A mouse AND a bear?" "Impossible!" "Fine, what story shall I tell tonight?" " The Big Bad Bear?" " Yes, the Big Bad Bear!" "In the winter, the Big Bad Bear sleeps." "And when he wakes up?" " He's hungry." " Exactly!" "And when he's hungry?" " He'll eat anything?" " Absolutely anything!" "Tires, lamps, bicycles, cars, houses!" "He scarfs" " I mean, he eats anything!" "And what does he like most of all?" " A little mouse?" " A little mouse!" "Just one?" "Hah!" "Ten!" "A hundred!" "A thousand little mice!" "Grilled, skewered, fried, then boiled - even raw!" " All raw?" " ESPECIALLY RAW!" "Still alive, with their coats and back-packs!" "That's how he likes them, all raw, and still alive!" "You're sure he's so mean?" "Do you know the story of the little mouse who didn't believe in the Big Bad Bear?" "Everyone told her, watch out for the Big Bad Bear!" "But she thinks she's so smart, dirty little... little... punk!" "Sorry, I mean..." "That dirty little..." "dirty little... dirty little rascal!" "She didn't believe!" "She'd say..." ""No, it's just a story that old lady tells, while she's always drinking that tea."" "But she was wrong!" "Because one day..." "You did this, Celestine?" "Believe me, children." "It's only in fables that bears can be friends with mithe!" "..." "Th... th, thth ith!" "..." " What'd she say?" " Dunno." " What'd you say?" " I said I dunno!" " Quiet!" " You understand her?" " Perfectly!" " You don't know anything!" " I don't?" " Know nothing!" " Oh YEAH?" " Know noth..." "Thilence!" "Get back in bed!" "Silence, you hear me?" "Ernest and Celestine" "Atchoo!" "Atchoo!" "Nice birdy..." "Come here, little birdy..." "Get back here, you rotten beast!" "Celestine!" " Ready to go!" " Hold on." "Let's go!" "The Sugar King" "Leon lost his first tooth." "Poor dear!" " And no trace of sugar!" " A true pearl." "Aw, don't cry dear, it's ok!" "I'll leave your tooth here, for the tooth fairy." "Tooth fairy?" "What tooth fairy?" "The little mouse!" "While you're asleep, she gives you a coin for your tooth." "For how much?" "A big coin!" "Your first business deal." "The start of wealth!" "Assuming good investments." "I've never heard of this fairy tale mouse." "You hadn't lost any teeth yet." "Baloney!" "I don't believe it." "Then where do the teeth go?" " Well..." " Time to sleep." "The little mouse will leave a coin for you." " How much?" " Uh, a quarter." " Two." " Hah!" "That's my boy!" "Ok dear..." " A mouse!" " Where?" "In the stuffed toys!" " Get out of there!" " Get it, dad!" "No mice allowed!" " Under there!" " Where?" " There!" " Get out!" "Get out, dirty animal!" "Hey, my tooth!" "Gimme my quarter!" "Nasty little vermin!" "Quiet, George, he's sleeping!" "George." "The garbage." "Ernest, Ernest, donate to Ernest" "If this goes on, I won't." "I'm hungry, I'll eat anything," "Anything, I'm really cold." "I've had nothing for so long," "I've lost weight, I'm upset," "My fur is loose, my underpants too," "So drop a little something in my hat." "Donate to Ernest," "What's on the menu would be welcome" "I'm sure if you give me something," "You'll feel better!" "And me too!" "Donate to Ernest!" "I'm so light, I'm starving," "An appetizer would be perfect," "That waffle looks delicious," "Help, it's getting away" "How about giving me a hand?" "Come on!" "Some charity for a meal," "Can you give me a hand..." "A bite of mutton, a sausage link," "So help me out, or lock me up." "Five days to pay." "I'm hungry!" "No!" "Don't eat me!" " I'm hungry." " What's your name?" " Ernest." " I'm Celestine." "Seriously, you can't eat me." "You believe those fairy tales?" "You're not stupid." " I'm hungry!" " Hungry?" "You think I'm enough?" "I'm skin and bones!" "Eating garbage is bad for you!" "You can catch the flu, typhus, hepatitis, cholera." "You want all that?" " Well no..." " Look at you." "Cold and wet, glassy eyes, dull fur." "Ears?" "Teeth?" "Oh dear." " Am I sick?" " You will be." "Listen, I know where you can eat all you want." " Marshmallows?" " Marshmallows, gummies, nougat, hard candy, marzipan, ok?" "Ok!" "There!" "All yours!" "Wait!" "There." "Enjoy!" "Celestine!" "Thanks!" "You're welcome!" "Look out!" "And one, and two, and one, and two... 10 cheeses a day!" " Enjoy!" " Hey, watch it, kid!" "Sorry, I'm in a hurry!" "Dentistry" "Hasn't started yet." "They said to wait." "Something stinks." "Hurry up, or the Big Bad Bear will eat you, raw!" "How many teeth did you get?" " Seven." " Not bad, I got twelve." "Twelve?" "I usually do much better." " You, Celestine?" "How many?" " Uh..." "Stop there." "Relax, or this will hurt a lot." "Next." " Twelve teeth." " Fine." " I can do even better!" " Uh-huh." "Next." " Only seven?" " Three incisors, high quality!" "I'll take one, mine's too short." "Thanks!" "Let's try this one." "Now say:" "The nasty bear steps on our heads." "The natthy bear thepth on our headth." "Not quite." "Now?" "The thnatthy thear thepth thon thour theadth." "Allow me." " Now try." " The nashty bear..." "Stop!" "Go on." "The nasty bear steps on our heads!" "There." "Dexterity, boy." "What?" "!" "One tooth after all night?" " I was trapped in a trash can." " How'd you get out?" " A bear..." " A what?" " Uh, nothing." " And what's in your bag?" "This is how you spend your job training, you draw instead of collecting." "You'll never become a dentist like this." "But I don't wanna be a dentist." "I see." "50 teeth behind, losing too many points!" "You need motivation." "Follow me." "Celestine, rodents aren't like bears." "Our strength isn't in our mass, muscles, claws, or terrible jaws." "We are delicate, subtle and refined." "To what do we owe our centuries of civilization?" "What do we owe it to?" "...Our what?" " Our incisors." " Correct!" "Our society's foundation!" "Thanks to them," "We've built great cities, chewed through rocks, made complex machines, diverted the biggest rivers in the world!" "All thanks to our cute, precious, delicate, valuable, perfect, sharp teeth!" "But what happens if a front tooth is lost?" "Death." "In agony and suffering." "Can't eat or talk." "Death!" "Gripped by hunger, gnawed by solitude." "We start again." "What's the best tooth we can modify for ourselves?" " A bear's tooth." " Yes, it's the strongest, and the easiest to collect from those little twerps." "So, Celestine, you'll go back up, for more teeth from those idiots." "But you won't come down until you have 50 teeth." "50 teeth, Celestine, 50 teeth..." "Be brave!" " Are you coming?" " Ok, ok!" " Hi kids!" "Doing well?" " Yes!" " I'd like a cream puff." " Cream puff!" " A mixed bag for me." " Mixed bag!" " Five lollipops!" " Five lollipops." " A lemon ice, please, dad!" " One lemon ice..." "Wait a sec." "C'mere!" "No sweets, Leon, I've told you 100 times!" " But dad..." " No buts!" "I forbid any sugar!" "You wanna lose your teeth?" "So rotten, you'll end up at your mom's boutique?" "Scram!" "We'll talk tonight." "Why hello sir!" "How are you today?" "Fine." "I need a tooth so I can eat nougat." "Of course!" "An incisor?" "Canine?" " I need a premolar." " Hmmmm..." "Let's see... ah!" "Here!" "Just the model you need!" "Top quality." "Try it!" "It's perfect, thank you!" " Here!" " Thanks!" "And what's your pleasure?" "Candy canes?" " Floss?" "Color mix?" " Marshmallows?" "Of course!" "..." "Have I run out?" "No, don't cry, I've got some in back!" "Hold on, I'll get them!" "What are you doing here?" "Thief!" "Thief!" "I'll call the police!" "Ernest?" " My marshmallows!" " Mine!" "Police!" "Police!" "He stole all my candy!" "That's him!" "Right here!" "What's going on?" "...Ernest?" "First all that noise, and now a break-in?" " How'd you get in?" " A little mouse... uh..." " A little what?" " It smelled good and I was hungry!" "Ok, load him up." "My marshmallows!" "Gimme!" "Let me go!" "No respect for business." "Psst, Ernest!" "Do you want me to free you?" "And then you'll do me a small favor?" "Would you do me a big favor?" "A huge favor, if I free you?" "The biggest favor in the world?" "Yes, Celestine, the biggest favor." " More peas, dear?" " I want candy." "Leon, don't start." " We've told you, no candy!" " Why not?" "For business." "I rot the teeth..." "And I replace them!" "You'll inherit two businesses!" "Smiling at customers!" "And a good smile needs good teeth." "To get rich, let other people rot their teeth." "Not you, ok?" "Yeah." "Good!" "I'm going to bed early." "Tomorrow I replace my stock." "Well, my place is safe." "Who would steal teeth?" "This way, hurry!" " This is it!" " Right." "Stop!" "Too loud, be careful!" "Stop!" "Be more quiet!" "There!" " Wait!" " Ok, the teeth?" " In a safe?" " That one?" " Yes!" "Let me..." " I got it." "You do?" "Wait, don't..." "Not like that!" " Open!" " You're crazy!" " Still open." " Now carry it!" " Come on, I'm tired!" " You promised!" " Ok, but then we're even." " Ok." "I'll check outside." "It's clear." "Ernest, wait!" "Bears go to bed early in the winter." "492 canines plus 750 premolars..." "Celestine!" "I said not to come back until..." "Oh, Celestine...!" "It's incredible!" "Wonderful!" "Look at this!" "How did...?" "!" "Bravo, Celestine!" "I'm proud of you!" " Long live Celestine!" " Long live Celestine!" "Celestine!" "Celestine!" "The B-B-Big Bad Bear!" " Ernest?" " Celestine!" "You know..." "You brought him here?" "!" "She doesn't believe in the Big Bad Bear!" "Everyone told her..." "Celestine, I..." "This way!" "Hurry!" "We have to jump!" "There he is!" "No, that way!" "Pardon!" "Sorry!" "Ernest, leave through the tunnel!" "This way!" "Go left!" "It was completely locked up!" "Look!" "Yes, I... a mouse!" "In our van!" "It's Ernest!" " Why did you stay?" "!" " I fell asleep!" " So?" " I should've stayed up here." " The bag was heavy!" " You didn't show me the exit!" " You said you'd find it!" " I did?" "Give up, Ernest!" "There's no escape!" "Get him!" " Pull over!" " Ok!" " Don't let go!" " You sure?" "Lamp?" "Aaaagh!" "We'll never give up!" "I'm turning, bye!" "National Police United in effort" "Here we are." "Well, bye Celestine." " What do you mean, bye?" " I'm home." " What about me?" " Dunno." "You should go home." "But I'm homeless, they chased me out!" "Celestine, we're even." "You freed me, and I did you the biggest favor." " But..." " Yup!" "Even." "But the situation has changed!" "No mice in the house." " Ernest, listen." " No!" "No mice!" "Let one in, and you get a thousand!" " But..." " No mice!" "Ever!" "But the situation..." "No mice!" "No buts!" " Ernest!" " Never!" "No - mice - allowed!" "Thank you." " Celestine!" " We're hard to remove." "Unless you kill." "Your chocolate is burning." "Wanna kill me?" "Brooms are too slow." "Mousetrap?" "We're too smart for those." "Poison?" "Or the glue trap, that's nasty." "You get stuck" " Can't move!" "Panic!" "Your heart explodes!" " Wanna make me explode?" " No, but..." "Bears and mice don't mix!" "It's not done?" "Bears above, mice below?" "Yes!" "That's how it is." " Got a basement?" " Well yes..." "Ok, I'm down there, and you're up here." "No buts." "Bye!" "And you STAY upstairs!" "No, YOU stay!" "I don't want to see or hear you!" "My chocolate!" "There she is!" "She didn't believe in the Big Bad Bear!" "Everyone told her, watch out for the Big Bad Bear!" "It's a nightmare." "Don't be afraid!" "I'm no nightmare, I'm Ernest." "Ernest..." "I'm cursed!" "What's this nonsense?" "I'm all alone, unloved and homeless!" "Ha!" "Does anybody love me?" "Did you do this?" "It's wonderful!" "Looks just like me!" "Don't feel lonely, you're a great artist!" "They want me to stop drawing, and be a dentist." "I wanted to do theater, stories and music." "But no, I was expected to be a judge, like my father, my grandfather, uncle and great-uncle." "Go play music somewhere else!" "No more stories!" "Stop singing and learn law!" "Watch this!" "No, Celestine!" "You stay down!" "I don't want to see or hear you!" "Nice picture, huh?" "Follow me, and bring your paint!" "We'll make a real art studio for you!" "My first real painting!" " Of what?" " The Big Bad Bear." "There!" "Look fierce!" "That's it." "There." "Lift your foot." "Perfect!" "Don't move." "Stay fierce!" " Can I see?" " I said don't move!" "Ernest?" "Are you sick?" " Just a small cold." " Bed." "Right now!" "You need to drink plenty of water." " Leave me alone!" "Help!" " Ernest?" "I'm no nightmare, I'm Celestine." " Any marshmallows?" " Of course." " Save me some!" " It's ok." " Promise?" " I swear." " Good night, Ernest." " Good night." "Hey Celestine, guess what?" "I'm cured!" "Hup!" "Watch this!" " Bet you can't juggle four!" " Oh yeah?" "Let's do it again!" "Come on!" "Summoned to the tribunal, the police chief said the robbers..." "Are they talking about us?" "No, we'd be forgotten by now." "We won't stop until Ernest and his accomplice Celestine are flushed from their hide-out." "Even if it takes months, we will find them." "They will be punished!" "Once we find them, we will have justice!" "Ernest will be put on trial!" "Celestine will be punished!" "The tribunal is at work." "Celestine will pay for her high crime!" "Ernest will be judged severely!" "The sentence will be irreversible for Ernest and Celestine!" " Did you call me?" " No, everything's fine!" "Everything's fine..." "You've made progress!" "I'm fed up with the Big Bad Bear." "Oh yes?" "Do you have a more interesting subject?" "A winter scene." "Wait for spring." "Bears are good at that." " The snow will be gone." " Celestine wants to paint snow?" "There." " Ok artist, get to work!" " Thanks Ernest!" "Ernest, I present" " Winter!" "In music, it would be something like this..." "One - and two." "One, and two..." " Celestine?" " Ernest, the van!" " What about it?" " It stands out!" "It'll give us away!" "Only one thing to do." " Did you see the tadpoles?" " Yeah yeah." " You can see them up close." " I see them from here." "Celestine, we have to go now." "...active search." "We won't stop until we find" "Ernest and his accomplice Celestine." "That's that." "...We appeal to any witnesses..." "Don't worry, they won't find us." "The police are actively searching for Ernest and Celestine, and won't rest until they are found." " What was that?" " The fairy tale mouse?" "George, go and look!" "Aaugh!" "My van!" "My store!" "What's this..." "Paint?" "Lucy, call the police!" "I know where Ernest is!" "Celestine!" "..." "What a sunny day!" "Grumpy Big Bad Bear." "He's not awake yet." "Might eat me." " Good idea, then I'll sleep." " Here's breakfast!" "Alive for one more day." " Nice!" " Sleep." "Sleep with all this sun!" "Ernest, come see!" " Go hide downstairs!" " What about you?" " I have a plan." " A plan?" " You sure about this?" " Don't worry!" "Celestine?" "..." "He's here!" " Where is Ernest?" " Uncle Ernest?" "In town getting honey, he's back tomorrow." "For the last time, where is Ernest?" "Fine." "Well, you know what to expect." "For the last time, where is Celestine?" "Fine." "You know what to expect!" "Heave ho!" "..." "Release!" "All about the trial!" "Buy Mouse Weekly!" "Read about the bear scandal and his accomplice Celestine!" "There!" "It's him!" "Look!" "The trial will begin." "Bring in the accused." "Look at that!" "Accused, rise and state your name." "Celestine." "Celestine, can you tell us where to find Ernest?" "You won't say where Celestine is?" "Then you'll be tried twice!" "For your crimes, and hers!" "Celestine?" "She did nothing wrong!" "Nothing?" "She brought an enraged bear here!" "He was starving!" "Do you fatsos want the poor to die?" " I was carrying her bag!" " Silence!" "You told her to get teeth!" "Silence!" "You're both accused of countless crimes!" "Burglary!" "Stolen goods!" "Car theft!" "Invasion!" "Wreckage!" "Injuries!" "With countless witnesses!" "And your most abominable crime..." " You scare children." " What?" "Kids, do I scare you?" "I scare moms?" "Madam, do I?" "No, I, er..." "Aaugh!" "There's a mouse!" "And now, the..." "Now for the defense." "Ladies and gentlemen of the court, is his crime being a bear?" "Thath why, in thith way..." " What'd he say?" " Dunno." " What'd you say?" " I said I dunno!" " Shut up!" " You understand him?" " Perfectly!" " Liar!" "You don't!" "Silence!" "Calm down!" "HEY!" "Celestine, in light of the accusations..." "Your problem is that I live with a bear!" " How dare you!" " Your damn prejudice!" "We're friends, that's my crime!" "Bears above, mice below?" "Raising your kids to fear mice?" "Are you stupid?" "Silence!" "You're the accused, not a lawyer!" "Silence in the court!" "Clear the room!" "Get back here!" "It's not over!" "No one may question the basis of our society, especially a mouse!" " But Mr. Judge, listen!" " SILENCE!" "Sit back down!" " Help him!" " He can help himself!" "Back to your seat!" "I order you!" " You're burning!" " Enough!" "Sit down!" "I won't tell you again!" "Get down from there!" "Let go of me!" "Your honor, hurry!" "We have to leave!" "Let me go!" " Where'd they go?" " They ran, come on!" "Abandoned." "Except by you." "Come on!" "If we survive, what would make you happy?" "To live with Ernest forever." "Fine." "Still, Celestine, it's an odd notion." "Why?" "You live with bears." "Oh, yes." "Exactly, an odd notion." " Ok, your honor?" " Huh?" "What happened?" " You caught fire." " ..." "Oh?" "Ernest, you saved my life." "How can I thank you?" " You don't..." " What would make you happy?" " Now?" " Yes, now!" "To find Celestine, and live with her forever." "You're free." "She saved my life." "Celestine!" "Celestine!" "Ernest!" "Ernest!" " No, Ernest." " Yes." " No!" " Yes!" " It's not possible." " It is!" "Our story is too terrible to tell!" "You tried to eat me." " That was funny!" " Not to me." " Not that story." " Then re-write it." "Imagine:" "You were abandoned in the trash, your eyes not even open yet." "Draw that!" "I was a street-sweeper, sweeping one day, and that's when I heard a little sound." " It was me?" " It was you." " Then what?" " I picked you up, tucked you into my nice warm coat, and took you home." " And then?" " Then I took care of you." "You were happy, so I let you move in, and we lived together." "And that's how we met!" "And then we'll have more stories?" "Many more, Celestine." "Many more." "Subtitles edited by Tom T."
