Winnie the Pooh meets Old Yeller/Transcript

This is the transcript for Winnie the Pooh meets Old Yeller.

Travis goes hunting/Arliss fights with Travis

Travis Coates: You touch a bite of this met and come morning, I'm gonna shoot you right between the eyes.

Yeller saves Arliss and Iago from the bear

Iago: Arliss, what are you doing?

Arliss Coates: I'm trying to get the bear cub to come closer.

(Arliss grabs the bear cub as Iago looks on uneasily. Kate, Travis and the other heroes hear a bear cub's wail.)

Travis Coates: What's that?

Twilight Sparkle: Sounds like a bear cub.

(The heroes among with Kate and Travis see Arliss grabbing the bear cub and Iago down there.)

Rabbit: Arliss, what do you think you're doing down there, young man?!

Travis Coates: Arliss, turn it loose!

Aladdin: Yeah, leave the bear alone!

-

Rabbit: Arliss, what on earth were you thinking?!

Simba: Grabbing the bear cub was a very dangerous thing to do.

Nala: You could've been hurt or killed.

Mr. Sanderson lets the Coates family keep Yeller

(The scene fades to the next day. Someone was coming up to the Coates House.)

Burn Sanderson: Hello, the house!

(Travis opens the door)

Travis Coates: I thought maybe it was Papa.

???: Let's go see who it is.

(Travis, Katie, and the heroes come out of the house as the man comes up)

Burn Sanderson: Mornin', folks.

Tigger: Say, who are you?

Burn Sanderson: I'm Burn Sanderson from down near San 'Tone. Runnin' me a few head of cattle over on Devil's Creek.

Katie Coates: Yes, Mr. Sanderson?

???: What brings you here?

Burn Sanderson: Bud Searcy told me about an old, stray dog you had. Sounded like it might be the one I lost.

(The heroes were stunned)

Katie Coates: You mean a... big yeller dog?

???: And you're his original owner.

Burn Sanderson: That's him all right. The worst egg-sucker and camp-robber you ever laid eyes on. Steal you blind while you're watchin'. But there never was a better cow dog born, or a hog dog either.

???: And we thought Old Yeller didn't have a home.

Katie Coates: Travis, Pooh Bear, everyone, go call Old Yeller to the house.

???: But, Mrs. Coates, Yeller is our friend.

Travis Coates: But, Mama--

Katie Coates: Travis!

Travis Coates: Yes, Mama.

???: (sighs) This is going to break Arliss' heart than it's going to hurt ours.

(They go to find Old Yeller)

Katie Coates: Won't you get down, Mr. Sanderson?

Burn Sanderson: Thank you, ma'am.

(He gets off his horse as we change to a field where Arliss is riding on Old Yeller.)

Travis Coates: Arliss.

(Arliss falls off of Yeller and sees Travis and the heroes.)

Arliss Coates: What do you want?

Travis Coates: Bring Old Yeller to the house.

???: It's kind of urgent.

Arliss Coates: What's the matter?

Travis Coates: You'll find out.

???: But you're not gonna like it.

(The go to the house as we cut back to Katie and Mr. Sanderson.)

Burn Sanderson: Ma'am, you and the boys don't have much protection out here. Bad as I need that old dog, I could give you a loan of him till your man comes home.

Katie Coates: (sighs) No, Mr. Sanderson. If he's your dog, better take him now.

Burn Sanderson: Well, maybe you're right, ma'am.

(Travis, Arliss, Yeller, and the heroes arrive.)

Burn Sanderson: Come on, boy.

(Yeller comes to Mr. Sanderson.)

Burn Sanderson: Why, you prowlin' old rascal. (laughs) Come on, boy.

Arliss Coates: Who's that?

Genie: That's Burn Sanderson, Arliss. Yeller's original owner.

(Travis just stood, almost teary-eyed in scilence.)

Burn Sanderson: Well, good-bye, ma'am. I'm sure much obliged.

(Old Yeller whimpers.)

Burn Sanderson: Come on, Yeller.

(Mr. Sanderson was about to ride off.)

Arliss Coates: That's my dog! You can't take my dog!

(He picks up a rock throws it at Mr. Sanderson, which causes his horse to go out of control.)

Arliss Coates: You can't take my dog! You can't take my dog!

Katie Coates: Arliss! (restrains him)

Iago: Arliss, stop!

Burn Sanderson: Woah, boy!

Arliss Coates: You can't take my dog!

Iago: That's enough, Arliss!

(Mr. Sanderson falls off his horse in a huff. Yeller comes to Arliss.)

Timon: Arliss, what were you thinking?! You should know better.

Katie Coates: Timon's right, Arliss, aren't you ashamed, throwin' rocks at that man?

???: All because he was trying to take away Old Yeller when he is his rightful owner?

Arliss Coates: I'll bust him with another one if he takes my dog off!

Katie Coates: Arliss!

Pumbaa: Sorry, Mr. Sanderson. Arliss here is very attached to Yeller.

Timon: Hope you're not mad at him.

Burn Sanderson: (laughs) Maybe he's right, folks. Man comes to take my dog off, I'd throw a fit too.

???: So, you're not mad at Arliss?

Burn Sanderson: Well, not quite. (gets back up) Let me talk to this boy a minute.

Travis shoots Yeller

(Yeller growls angrily at the heroes they got really scared knowing he's not the dog they knew anymore.)

Winnie the Pooh: Oh, bother. This isn't the Yeller we know.

Simba: (gravely sighs) I'm afraid the Yeller we know is now gone forever.

Nala: Yes, and there's no cure for rabies.

Piglet: Oh, what should we do?

Iago: I don't know, Piglet. I don't know. (sighs)

Genie: I'm afraid there is no other way to help Yeller.

Katie Coates: You're right, everyone. There's only one thing to do.

-

Travis Coates: No, Mama!

Katie Coates: There's no hope for him now, Travis. He's suffering. You know we've got to do it.

Travis Coates: Yes, Mama. But he was my dog. I'll do it. (takes the gun)

Misty: (turns and cries, but Brock comforts her)

(Twilight and her friends take Emily Elizabeth, Jetta, and Charley away so that they do not want to see this disheartening sight.)

-

(Travis shoots Yeller as the heroes lower their heads in sadness.)

Ending

-

Lor McQuarrie: He's crossed the Rainbow Bridge and is on the other side now.

Tino Tonitini: Yeah... Old Yeller is in a better place. Running wild and free. I'm pretty sure he's happy.

Genie: And he will be watching the Coates family from here on out. Until the day they'll reunite and be together once again.

Emily Elizabeth: Clifford?

(Clifford goes to the edge of the cliff and looks up at the sky. And, with tears running down his face, he lets out the call of the wild. He jolts his head back and begins howling to the sky in honor of his friend, Old Yeller.)

Pikachu: (sadly) Pika...

Pooh Bear: Oh, Clifford...

(The other dogs go over to Clifford to join him in commemorating the loss of their canine friend.)

Charlie Barkin, Itchy Itchiford, Cleo, T-Bone, and Mac: (howling together in honor of Old Yeller)

(Simba and Nala decide to join as well.)

Simba and Nala: (roar together in honor of Old Yeller)
