Narrator : [chuckles] Well, Tigger, your bouncing really got you into trouble this time.
Tigger : [puzzled] Say, who're you?
Narrator : I'm the narrator.
Tigger : [pleads desperately] Oh well, please, for goodness sakes, narrate me down from here!
Narrator : Very well. Hold on tight.
[turns the book sideways as Tigger whimpers in fright]
Christopher Robin : You can let go now, Tigger.
Tigger : [stammers in panic, then covers his eyes] N-n-n-n-n-n-n-never!
Narrator : But Tigger, look for yourself. You're perfectly safe.
[Tigger peeks down at the text, then gingerly lets go of the tree, and sits on the text as the narrator chuckles]
Narrator : What did I tell you, Tigger?
[Tigger smiles]
Narrator : Come on.
[turns the book again, this time slanted]
Narrator : Back we gooo!
[Tigger whimpers as he slides down the text, then lands in the snow]

Christopher Robin : You're next, Tigger. Jump!
Tigger : Er, *jump*? But Tiggers don't jump, they bounce.
Winnie the Pooh : Then bounce down.
Tigger : Don't be "ridick-orous". Tiggers only bounce up!
Christopher Robin : You can climb down, Tigger.
Tigger : Ah, but tiggers can't climb down, uh, uh, because, uh, oh... oh their tails get in the way!
Rabbit : Hooray! That settles it. If he won't jump, and he can't climb down, then we'll just have to leave him up there forever!

Tigger : [after crashing through Rabbit's garden, sending vegetables flying everywhere, then pouncing on him] Hello, Rabbit! I'm Tigger! T-I double guh...
Rabbit : [sitting up and shoving Tigger away] Please! Please! Don't spell it! Oh dear, oh dear, just - just look at my beautiful garden!
Tigger : Yyyyyuck! And messy, isn't it?
Rabbit : Messy? Messy? It's ruined! It's ruined, Tigger! Aw, why won't you ever stop bouncing?
Tigger : Why? That's what Tiggers do best! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Winnie the Pooh : Look, l-look, Piglet. There's something in that tree over there.
Piglet : Is it one of the f-f-fiercer animals?
Tigger : howling
Tigger : [howling over Piglet's line] Hallooooooooo!
Winnie the Pooh : [lifting Piglet] Yes. It's a "jagular."
Piglet : W-What do "jagulars" d-do, Pooh?
Winnie the Pooh : [as he drops Piglet] Well, "jagulars" always call, "Hallooooooooo!" And when you look up... they drop on you.
Piglet : [looking down] I'm lookin *down*, P-P-P-Pooh.

Tigger : I "recoggonize" you. You're the one that's stuffed with fluff.
Winnie the Pooh : Yeah. And you're sitting on it.
Tigger : Yeah. And it's comfy, too!

Tigger : Well, I gotta go now. I've got a lotta bouncin' to do! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! T-T-F-N: ta-ta for now!

Tigger : [singing; repeated lines] The wonderful thing about tiggers / Is tiggers are wonderful things / Their tops are made out of rubber / Their bottoms are made out of springs / They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun / But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is I'm the only one / IIIII'm the only one!

Tigger : [bounces on Piglet] Hello, Piglet! I'm Tigger!
Piglet : Oh, Tigger! You sc-c-c-cared me!
Tigger : Oh, shucks! That was just one of my little bounces!
Piglet : It was? Oh. Thank you, Tigger.
Tigger : Yeah, I'm saving my best bounce for Ole Long Ears!
[pulling his ears, then dashing away]
Tigger : Ta-ta!

Tigger : [looking for Pooh, Rabbit and Piglet who are hiding in a hollow log] That's funny. They must be lost.
[yells into the log]
Tigger : [echoes repeatedly] HELLO! Hey, you blokes! Where are ya?
Winnie the Pooh : [sort of loudly] In...
[Rabbit grabs his mouth]
Rabbit : [whispers] Shush!
Winnie the Pooh : [whispers] I am shushed!

Roo : Christopher Robin, I like the old, bouncy Tigger best.
[cut to Tigger sadly walking away]
Christopher Robin : So do I, Roo.
Piglet : I do, too.
Roo : Me, too.
Kanga : Of course, we all do. Don't you agree, Rabbit?
Rabbit : I uh...
Christopher Robin : Well, Rabbit?
Rabbit : Well, uh, uh, that is, I-uh, what I mean...
Winnie the Pooh : Well?
Rabbit : Uh, I uh...
[sighs]
Rabbit : Oh, all right. I guess I like the old Tigger better, too.
Tigger : [Pounces Rabbit] Oh, boy! You mean I can have my bounce back? Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Tigger : [scooping up snow] Oh, good old terra firma!
[kisses the snow]
Tigger : Say, I'm so happy I feel like bouncing!
[starts bouncing, but pauses when Rabbit interuppts him]
Rabbit : Uh-uh-uh! You promised! You promised!
Tigger : [defeatedly falls back to the ground] Oh, I did, didn't I? You mean I-I can't - ever bounce again?
Rabbit : Never!
Tigger : [whimpering] N-Never?
[brief silence]
Tigger : N-Not even just - one, teensy-weensy bounce?
Rabbit : [defiantly] Not even a *smidgen* of a bounce!
-
Tigger : [emerging from the snow after crashing into Rabbit's house while ice skating with Roo] Uh, pew! Ree-yuck! Tiggers don't like ice skating!
