Pooh's Adventures of Air Buddies/Transcript

Opening

[The film begins in Fernfield]

Deputy Sniffer: Welcome to Fernfield, where we like to say where everything is possible. I've been the deputy of this here town since way back then. And never have I seen an adventure like the one I'm about to tell ya.

[A flashback with Air Bud (Buddy) playing a basketball game]

Deputy Sniffer: As you may already know Fernfield is home to the world famous Air Bud. A true sports legend who's first love had always been the game.

[The screen shows Buddy playing various sports]

[The scene then changes to Buddy and Molly meeting for the first time]

Deputy Sniffer: But that all changed the day Molly, a brown-eyed gal with golden locks, moved in across the street.

[Later, it shows Molly and Buddy having pups]

Deputy Sniffer: And Buddy fell head over tail for her. Gosh, it was enough to make my own heart skip a beat. It wasn't long before we heard the pitter patter of little paws. Buddy and Molly were blessed with five adorable pups. Known around these parts as the Buddies.

[A kid pours dog biscuits in five dog bowls]

Deputy Sniffer: Let's see, you got the big fella, Budderball, you just can't seem to fill this pup up. B-Dawg is the B-ball home dog when the kids say he's all about the big bling. Buddha's one of them Zen puppies you know always meditating and doing that yoga stuff. Mudbud? Well, his name says it all. He'd take mud over a bathtub anyday. And last but not least, Rosebud. Don't let her pretty looks fool ya. She's as feisty as her brothers. These little Buddies were growing up so fast and becoming quite the handful. Enough to tire out a young-n let alone an old loser like myself. [clears throat] Hey, I'm down here! I'm Deputy Sniffer. This here is Sheriff Bob. Now there comes a time in every pup's life where they must say goodbye to the home they once knew and say hello to a new one. And that's where our story begins.

[The film begins at Buddy's home.

[Using a pipe, they climb up to the roof and to the room where Rosebud, Budderball, Buddha, Mudbud and B-Dawg are]

[The five pups turn and spot them]

Budderball: Hey, check it out. We've got some living Stuffed Animals in the house.

Budderball: Name's Budderball.

Buddha: Buddha is present.

Mudbud: Mudbud's the name. Mud's my game.

B-Dawg: Yo, dawgs, B-Dawg in the da house.

[Downstairs]

Noah's Mom: Noah, come on. We've gotta go now!

Noah's Dad: We're gonna be late for the game!

[Upstairs, Noah and Buddy are getting ready]

Noah: Coming! [to Buddy] You go downstairs, I'll be right there. [pats his head]

[Buddy heads downstairs. The doorbell rings. Noah's father answers the door]

Noah's Dad: Oh, good. The sitter's here!

Sitter?

Budderball: We're being puppy-sat while Dad gets to go to a big game.

[The sitter, Mrs. Niggles, enters]

Mrs. Niggles: I prefer the professional distinction of "Nanny", if you don't mind. [Buddy barks] Hello, Buddy.

Noah's Mom: Hi, Mrs. Niggles.

[Upstairs, Noah goes to the Buddies' room]

Rosebud: Noah's coming!

Noah: I'm serious. You guys need to chill. Be back soon, okay? [leaves]

RoseBud: Okay, he's gone.

Mudbud: Dudes, that's amazing how you can stay quiet for so long.

[The Buddies get out of their basket. Back downstairs, Noah arrives]

Noah's mom: [sighs]

Noah: Sorry. I had to say goodbye. I think they're sad that they can't come.

Noah's mom: Aw. Now go say hi.

Noah: Hi, Mrs. Niggles.

Mrs. Niggles: I worked all day on this little piece of perfection. Blueberry pie just for my favorite little boy.

[The Buddies watch from the landing]

Budderball: Did someone say Blueberry pie?

Mudbud: Dudes, if we wanna go to the game, we're gonna have to get by Niggles.

Buddha: Words of wisdom, Mudbud.

B-Dawg: This game's gonna be off the chain insane.

Mrs. Niggles: Where are the little darlings?

Noah: They're up in their room, playing.

Noah's Dad: Time to go.

Noah's mom: Bye, buddies!

[Buddy barks]

Mrs. Niggles: Have fun!

[The family heads outside]

Budderball: Come on, guys! Follow me!

[The pups grab their balls and head downstairs to the door. Mrs. Niggels cuts them off]

Mrs. Niggles: [clears her throat] And where might you think you were going? Ooh, I know what you little Buddies want! Bathtime it is!

[The buddies drop their balls in dismay]

Noah's parent: Hi, guys. Already for the game?

Joshua's dad: Let's get this show on the road.

[After sometime chatting, the families get in the car]

Mrs. Niggles: Cleanliness is next to cuddliness. [notices there are four puppies] One. Two. Three. Four. Somebody's missing. [finds Mudbud behind the rack and picks him up] Come here, you mucky pup.

[ watches from the doorway]

[Mrs. Niggles puts Mudbud in the bath]

Mrs. Niggles: In you pop. Oh, bathtime is so much fun. Rubb-a-dub-dub, five puppies in the tub.

[Later]

Mrs. Niggles: Have a nice nap. Now, you behave. I'll be back in an hour.

[She leaves]

She gone yet?

Budderball: Yep.

B-Dawg: Nobody tells B-Dawg he's gotta take a nap.

Rosebud: Hey, look. She's got a ball.

B-Dawg: If the Buddies can't go the game, the game will come to the Buddies.

Buddha: Sssh. Mrs. Niggles is finding her inner peace. She's falling asleep.

Budderball: I don't know about my inner peace. But, I want a piece of that pie.

Buddha: She's going...

Budderball: Going...

Rosebud: Going...

B-Dawg: Going...

Mudbud: Going...

Budderball: I'm going in.
