Dwayne: Great Scott! The bear that treed us can talk!
Bear [Wallace]: Silly human, of COURSE I can talk.
Bear [Wallace]: I escaped from a circus a few years back. My trainer was a disgruntled former Yale Literature professor. He taught me to read and write. Speaking followed naturally.
Nick: Somehow, a talking bear doesn't seem natural to me...
Bear [Wallace]: I've memorized The Divine Comedy and The Illiad. Care for a recitation?
