Kenai: You want to know what I did this year? I went on the longest, hardest, most exhausting journey I have ever been on, with the biggest pain in the neck I have ever met. But what do you expect from a little brother?
[noogies Koda]
Denahi as an Old Man: This is a story from long ago, when the great mammoths still roamed our lands. It's the story of my two brothers and me. When the three of us were young, we were taught that the world is full of magic. The source of this magic is the ever-changing lights that dance across the sky. The shaman woman of our village told us that these lights are the spirits of our ancestors, and that they had the power to make changes in our world. Small things become big. Winter turns to spring. One thing always changes into another. But the greatest change I ever saw was that of my brother. A boy who desperately wanted to be a man...
Koda: If the snow's white, then it's all right. Yellow or green, it's just not clean. I learned that one the hard way.
Koda: Mom says the spirits make all the magical changes in the world, like how the leaves change color, or how the moon changes shape, or tadpoles change into frogs...
Kenai: Yeah, I get it. You know, for a change, maybe they could just leave things alone.
Koda: What do you mean?
Kenai: My brother's a spirit, and if it wasn't for him I... I wouldn't be here.
Koda: You have a brother up there? What happened to him?
Kenai: He was killed by a bea... by a monster.
Koda: What's your brother's name?
Kenai: Sitka.
Koda: Thanks, Sitka. If it weren't for you, I would have never met Kenai. I always wanted a brother.
[after Kenai has been changed into a bear]
Tanana: [looking at his paws, fur, tail, muzzle, etc] Hmm, strange. The spirits don't usually make these kind of changes! Oh, m...
[looks inside his mouth]
Tanana: Oh, my, my, my my... Sitka must have something really big planned for you, yup, yup, yup. You're gonna get a whole new perspective on things! Oh, do you see in black and white, or color?
Kenai: Keep all that cuddly bear stuff to a minimum, okay, kid?
[Kenai tells Denahi his choice to stay a bear and look after Koda]
Kenai: He needs me.
Denahi: You know, you did look better as a bear...
[Kenai tells Denahi he wants to remain a bear to watch over Koda]
Kenai: But... Denahi...
Denahi: It's all right, Kenai. No matter what you choose, you'll always be my little brother.
[they hug and Kenai transforms back into a bear]
Denahi: Whoa... Did I say little?
Tanana: Kenai, love is the most precious of totems. It reveals itself in unexpected ways.
Tanana: You left too soon, Sitka. Your brothers need your guidance.
Koda: When I get in a fight, I go all crazy, and I'm a raging ball of brown fur!
Koda: Hey, I don't wanna brag or nothing, but I got some moves.
Kenai: Oh, really?
Koda: Yeah. Now, this first one, well... it's just a little something I like to call... the Slasher. And this, I call... Flying Fury of Death.
Kenai: [mock terror] Ah! The hunter's coming back.
Koda: Aah! Where?
Kenai: Enough with the stories. I don't care about the time you and Binky found the world's biggest pine cone ever.
Koda: First of all, his name's Bucky, not Binky. And Second, it wasn't a pine cone, it was a pine nut, and it was huge, even bigger than your fat head.
Tuke: How's it going, bear?
Kenai: Don't call me that.
Tuke: Sorry, um... Mister Bear?
[after a caribou stampede]
Kenai: Never try to milk a caribou.
