  Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
  But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is that I'm the only one
  I'm the only one!
  Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Dialogue

[From trailer]

Tigger: Bluga-dee-bloo! [pounces on top of Pooh]

Pooh: A simple hello would do, thank you very much.

Tigger: It's a dangerous path I bounce, but I bounce it alone. Because the Hundred Acre Wood needs a hero, Pooh Bear, and I'm the only one.

Pooh: Good morning, Eeyore. Lovely day, isn't it?

Eeyore: Wish I could say yes, but I can't.

Pooh: Oh my, Eeyore. You wouldn't happen to have any honey lying about, would you? You see, I seem to have run out. [tummy continues to rumble] Oh, yes. Good idea, tummy. Perhaps I should look in back. Bother. No honey in here, either. What? Eeyore, what has happened to your tail?

Eeyore: What has happened to it?

Pooh: Well... it isn't there.

Eeyore: That accounts for a good deal. That explains everything. No wonder. [sighs]

Owl: Oh! There it is. I'd recognize it anywhere. The very tree where I was hatched. I remember the day Mother made these marks, her giant meaty claw carving furrows in the crumbly bark. Chapter one, the birth of a genius.

Pooh: Pardon me, Owl. What are you doing?

Owl: Hmm? Oh, hello, Pooh. Eeyore. Why, I'm penning my personal memoirs. [chuckling] Yes. Now, where was I? Oh, yes, of course. With steely nerve...

Pooh: Perhaps you could take a short break from your important work and help us find Eeyore's tail?

Owl: ...and I rocketed towards Eeyore's tail! Eeyore's tail? What's wrong with Eeyore's tail?

Pooh: Well, it isn't there.

Owl: Yes. So I see.

Pooh: Won't you help us, Owl? You have such a talent for speaking and telling us what to do.

Owl: Oh, thank you, Pooh. Yes, I do, don't I? I didn't think anyone noticed. All right, take this. Write this down carefully. Now, the customary procedure in such cases is as follows.

Pooh: Excuse me, Owl, but what does "Crustimoney Proseedcake" mean? For I am a bear of very little brain and long words bother me.

Owl: It means "the thing to do."

Pooh: Oh. Well, as long as it means that, I don't mind.

Owl: Yes, well, the thing to do is as follows: First, issue a reward...

Pooh: Gesundheit.

Owl: I beg your pardon?

Pooh: Well, you sneezed just as you were going to tell me what the first thing to do was.

Owl: I didn't sneeze.

Eeyore: Oh, you did, Owl.

Owl: No, I didn't! You can't sneeze without knowing it!

Pooh: Well, you can't know it without something haven't been sneezed.

Owl: [pauses] As I was saying, first: issue a reward...

Pooh: [to Eeyore] He's doing it again. [to Owl] You must be catching a cold.

Eeyore: [gloomily] I'll probably catch it, too.

Owl: [frustrated] No, no, no! I'm not catching a cold! The word is ISSUE, not AH-CHOO! And 'ah-choo' isn't even a word! It's just some sort of sneezy sound, like 'Ah-choo!'

Pooh: Perhaps you should lie down, Owl.

Owl: Oh! [facepalms and falls over backwards]

---

Pooh: Perhaps I could borrow some honey. [his stomach growls] Just a taste. A small lick, I should think.

Christopher Robin: Silly old bear.

[Pooh, Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga and Roo are trapped in a hole and Piglet gets a rope - only to cut it up into six pieces]

Piglet: And six! There! Now you can ALL get out!

Pooh: How very thoughtful you are, Piglet.

Rabbit: [loses his patience] Good grief! Tie them together, Piglet! Can you tie a knot?

Piglet: I cannot.

Rabbit: Ah, so you CAN knot.

Piglet: No. I cannot knot.

Rabbit: [in disbelief] Not knot?

Pooh: Who's there?

Rabbit: Pooh!

Pooh: Pooh who?

Rabbit: No! Pooh...eh...Piglet, you'll need more than two knots.

Piglet: Not possible.

Owl: Ah, so it is possible to knot those pieces.

Piglet: Not these pieces!

Pooh: Yes. Knot those pieces.

Piglet: Why not?

Eeyore: Because it's all for naught.

---

Pooh: Have you ever had one of those days when you just can't win, Eeyore?

Eeyore: Yup, I know how that feels.

[Last lines; in the post-credits scene]

The Backson: [enters stomping until he spots the trail of objects] Wow! It's amazing what you can find in the woods. A marble! And a boot! [picks up blackboard with picture of Backson] And oh, my, that's a scary looking fella. Gosh, maybe these are his things. You know, I better pick 'em up so they won't get broken. That's the last thing I would want. [falls in pit] Whoa! Oh, my gosh! Is this a pit? I think I'm in a pit! Hello! Anybody up there? Oh, well. I sure hope that fella will be back soon.
