Lex: <yawn>
Mr. Vegas: Lex, you are the sleepiest bear in the whole wide world.
Baby Reindeer: It's okay to sleep. Some of you spend so much time awake that some of us us need to sleep for you.
Lex: I was having a really nice bear nap.
Mr. Vegas: Stay awake for a minute; we're going to tell everyone about the chairs.
Marta Pearl Beary: I can explain that from the very beginning. You see, Ms. Mary isn't much for going shopping -- I do NOT understand how that can be -- so it's really exciting when she does go ... even when she just brings back things like facial tissue and soap and food.
Nanette DuBeary: Get to the chairs, Marta. That's the important part. Tell them Ms. Mary bought chairs -- two chairs.
Alice B. Patchberry: Well, that's not exciting unless you tell people they're not people chairs; they're menagerie chairs. They're much too small for Ms. Mary. They're even too small for kids to sit on.
Miss Liberty Melody Barbara Hope Francis: They're too big for me and I'm a people.
Mr. Vegas: You're not a kid. You're a baby. That's different.
Nanette DuBeary: The chairs, Marta. The chairs.
Marta Pearl Beary: I was getting there. You see, since Ms. Mary isn't much for shopping ...
Nanette DuBeary: <sigh>
Marta Pearl Beary: ... as I was saying ...
Nanette DuBeary: <SIGH>
Marta Pearl Beary: Sheboughttwochairsfor us.
Alice B. Patchberry: You're talking too fast.
Marta Pearl Beary: She bought two chairs for us.
Alice B. Patchberry: You're talking too slow.
Patriot Bear SIR: HARRUMPH!
Alice B. Patchberry: I'm sorry, Marta. I'm in a hurry to get to the pictures.
Marta Pearl Beary: Can I tell everyone we did a three-bears-story thing with the chairs?
Nanette DuBeary: I think you just did. Now you can show the pictures.
James Canterbury: The one on the right appears to be a bit of an English sitting room chair to me.
Mr. Vegas: I know chairs are for sitting, so any room with chairs is a sitting room, but what's an ice cream parlor chair?
Sam: It's a chair you sit on in an ice cream parlor.
Mr. Vegas: What's an ice cream parlor?
