Open Season Page #2

Synopsis: A happily domesticated grizzly bear named Boog, has his perfect world turned upside down after he meets Elliot, a scrawny, fast-talking one-horned wild mule deer.

- Hello, idiot.

- It's "Elliot."

I come in peace.

I'm foraging.

Pepperoni!

- All right. Yeah, there it is. Let's go.

- Boog, party's over, let's go.

- All right, yeah, there it is.

- Freeze.

Behold, the mighty grizzly.

Good night.

If you go out in the woods today

There's gonna be some fries

Yeah, and the giraffes...

...they taste almost exactly

like the elephants.

That's messed up.

Hey, Gordy.

Back up quick, before she sees me.

You're in big trouble, mister.

You know what sugar does

to you, Boog.

Straight to bed, now!

I'm so sorry. It's my fault.

It won't happen again.

- What if he had hurt someone?

- Gordy, please.

- We're talking about Boog here.

- Hey, what are you looking at?

I told you not to wait up.

- I'll take him back to the woods.

- It's time to put him where he belongs.

No, no, he's not ready to go back yet.

I mean, it's not my fault.

I tried to teach him the basics.

I took him fishing,

but he didn't wanna get wet.

Gordy, please--

Boog is sorry.

- Beth, you're not his mother.

- I'm not mothering him.

Excuse me. Go to bed, Boog!

One more summer.

That's all I'm asking,

one summer.

Great, see? I can be reasonable.

Thanks.

You know something?

The longer you wait, the harder

it's gonna be for him to adapt.

Oh, I'm sure he'll...

At least I think he'll--

And the harder it's gonna be

for you to let him go.

Good night, Beth.

What am I gonna do with you?

This isn't decaf. You know

what caffeine does to me, Bob.

I'd be talking up a storm,

chatting your ear off...

...a mile a minute

for the whole ride.

Mr. Weenie, heel. Heel, Mr. Weenie.

Hot.

It's terrible but wonderful

at the same time.

It's like freedom in a cup.

Out of hand.

You know, I heard Boog got loose

last night...

...and he totally trashed the place.

- Really?

- That's what happened.

There's something wrong

going on here.

You? It walks like a man.

Hold still,

you two-legged latte drinker.

Look out!

Not again.

Boog will have you eating out

of his paw.

Get it?

"Paw," because he's a bear?

- So anyway...

- Oh, man.

Okay, relax, Boog.

You can do this.

- What the--?

- I gotta hide. I gotta hide.

What are you doing?

Get out of here. Hey.

He's right behind me.

I knew it.

That bear's corrupted my buck.

Hide me.

- All right, he's gone. Now get out.

- Good idea.

- Where you going?

- Behold, the mighty grizzly.

How cute, a donkey.

- You got me in enough trouble.

- Hey, I-- You saved my life.

That means

that you're responsible for me.

What? Stop messing up my life.

You needed to get out.

You should thank me.

- Thank you?

- You're welcome, buddy.

Stop calling me that. Now get out.
