The story of Grizzly Adams is big, powerful, beautiful.

They called me magic.

And me and my burl number seven been traips and these slopes and valleys for a long spell.

So I know the story from the beginning.

My friend Adams was accused of a crime he didn't commit.

So he escaped into the mountains, leaving behind the only life that he ever knew.

Now that wilderness out there ain't no place for a green horn.

And his chances of surviving were mighty slim.

Where no time at all for he was beaten down, bragged, nearly star-heart.

Well, how about then he come upon a Grizzly Bear cub all alone and helpless.

Adams knew that little critter couldn't survive without his help, so he started right down that cliff, risking his own life to save it.

Now that cub took to Adams right off.

And that was when he discovered he had a special kind of way with animals.

They just come right up to him like he was a natural part of the wilderness.

But that bear cub, he was extra special.

As he grody became the best friend Adams ever had and together they became a legend.

There's a world where we don't have to run, maybe. There's a time for all our own, living free and holy in majesty.

Take me home, take me home.

A mountain folk have been blessed with rivers and streams, trees and clouds.

But if there's any one thing that shows a man the glory of God in the wilderness, I reckon it'd have to be the animals.

And my friend James Adams had a sense and feel of him like nobody I ever knew.

Take that little fox pup. He'd found it near gone one day about a month ago.

But he'd made it well and now he was taking it back to its mama.

While Adams was telling the little fox he'd soon be back home, Ben's nose was it. Telling him there was a stranger in there, a black sheep-air.

And his heart has been tried to make friends that other bear just mosey don't buy him like she'd never seen or heard him.

Ben, you come with me, you got other ideas.

Well, I'll get you back to your family and then I'll check on Ben later.

Ben's other idea was to follow that bear and maybe find out why she was acting so unfriendly.

Well now come on number seven, drink. You've been asking for water the last six miles. Now you're here, drink.

I didn't know it, of course, but I was going to meet that there bear before Ben did.

No, don't get skittery. You've seen a bear for. Probably a friend of Ben's anyway.

No, I don't guess it is. I've never seen that bear for.

Now that's close enough. You come any closer, you and me's going to tangle.

Now there's enough room in these mountains for everybody, so you just get.

Howdy. I hope my bear didn't give you a start.

Is that your bear?

She's called babe and they call me Marvin. Marvin the Magnificent.

Well they called me Mad Jack. Mad Jack, the mountain man. How'd you get here?

Why, horses and wagons. They're over there behind those trees.

Well you've got to be scatterbrained or just plumb out of your mind to bring a wagon up into this country.

Scatterbrained verily sir. You know if you could, just direct me to the weight of the settlement.

I'd be very much obliged. Settlement.

Alright, well you see that row of trees yonder? You follow them right on up to the top of the ridge there.

And then you start down. And you just keep going down and down until you come to the wagon trail.

Then you turn east. After a bit you come out into the valley floor and there's where you'll find the center.

How long is that going to take?

Well me it takes about three days, but you is going to take ten days, maybe two weeks.

Two weeks. That is if you heard.

Two weeks. You hear that babe?

Oh, look it's just going from bad to worse isn't it?

This was our last chance too.

I heard there was going to be a trapper's rendezvous at the settlement.

Well it was, but you're about a month too late.

What do you want there anyway? You in the fur treat?

Oh, fur treat. Oh, horrors. No, no, no. We perform.

Babe and I, we do magic and entertainment.

And well I really, she looks at all a lot better when she's feeling well.

But lately poor old girl, she's been off her feet. I guess it was my fault really.

I'm just lost without babe. I don't know what I'd do without her.

You know, we share everything. She's my whole life. Are we share food and luxury and success?

Although I do confess that there has been precious little of the latter recently.

Tell me, you suppose they have poor houses for bears too?

Oh now, if you and your bear is hungry, old Mad Jack, he's got a lot of good things in this queue.

You got any magical elixir in that pack of yours, sir?

That perhaps could put new life into babe?

No, I ain't got none of that, but I got a friend up country and he thinks about as much as his bear as you think of yours.

You got a pet bear?

Well, he'd exactly a pet, but he's a friend and this feller's got away with animals. Be, go or small.

Babe and I have come to the end of the road. The sooner we get back to town, the better it's going to be.

I can see now that it was just madness for me to come up here.

Oh now, don't you feel that way?

Once you get some of old Mad Jack's flat jacks inside of you, why you got...

Oh hello, Ben!

Don't be scared now. That's the bear I was telling you about.

Really? That's a grizzly.

Yep, well, he thinks he's a grizzly. I think he's almost chewy.

Yeah, well, you know where the day gets.

Grizzlies are not friendly by nature.

Ben? Where's Adams?

Usually where you find Ben, Adams isn't far off.

Well, who's Adams, his owner?

Well, in this relationship, nobody owns nobody.

It is about as close as a animal and a man can get sort of like maybe you and Babe there.

You know, Ben, something tells me that you and I are going to get to be real good friends.

Yeah. Maybe you can even help Babe here, huh? Think so?

Hey Ben, how would you like a honey cake, huh?

You know, it does seem to me that I saw one of those honey cakes around here somewhere,

why there it is. Look at that. Right in your friend's ear.

Here you are, Ben. With my compliments and enjoy yourself, bone appetite.

You headed up your sleeve, didn't you?

Perhaps, perhaps.

You know, I sure would like to meet this friend of yours.

Any man that can work with a grizzly. Well, I take my hat off to him.

That's where it was. You had it in your hat.

Perhaps.

If Adams was surprised when he seemed that strange wagon, it weren't nothing to what were to come.

You must be marvin' the magnificent. No, sir, that would be me.

Howdy Adams, howdy Jack Adams? This here is Marvin.

I come across him and his bear up there in the woods and he was kind of lost.

I deem it a great pleasure to meet you Mr. Adams.

You have a mighty fine bear here Mr. Marvin. Thank you, sir. Ben, you been behaving yourself?

Look at that. That is a remarkable job of training.

Adams, Marvin's bear here is acting kind of sickly and I told him.

Was he to bring her down here that you'd fix her up right away?

Yeah, you know, Adams there was a time when she was just as nimble as an acrobat and as strong as the wrestler.

That's the way she was.

But a few years ago she caught a cold.

She caught a cold and it just gotten worse ever since.

It's as though now her joints were rusted through.

Yeah, it...

Babe, sit up here now and shake hands, shake hands with Mr. Adams there.

Mmm.

Babe, shake hands. Shake...

Mmm.

Well, yeah, that's the way it goes.

Well, I'll tell you what we'll do.

A baby just stand right up here and give us a salute.

Hey!

Babe, babe, salute!

Ha!

Ah!

Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's been a long time since you stood on your head or walked a tightrope, eh?

Hold this, babe, Marvin.

I told you we have played every leading opera house and music hall in the entire country.

And you know the way they build her, huh? They build her as Babe the Wonder Bear.

And that's what they called her too, didn't they, old girl?

Yes, sir.

Good morning, here, minute. I... I'd like to show you something.

Now, here is what I wanted to show you.

Mmm.

You're noticing more than one way.

Yeah.

Well, I do not have your skill at the healing arts.

I'm not a doctor, Marvin.

But sometimes the trouble can come with what you feed them.

Oh, babe has eaten everything that I eat all of her life.

Well, you know, Adam, if I have cream pie, she has cream pie that nothing but the best for her.

No, sir.

You know the doctors I've been taking her to, well, all they know about is farm, Adam.

It's, you know, farm, Adam. Who knows about bears in the towns and cities, eh?

How are you going to be in these here parts?

Just as long as it takes. You think you can cure?

Well, all I know is Mother Nature takes care of her own kind in her own way.

And we're just going to have to figure out how to help her along.

That's real nice.

Yeah, babe.

There's some bother in that man, Jack.

Well, sure, this bear here.

No, there's more tooth than that.

Now, it seemed like the best thing for babe was to spend a little time with Ben.

Doing well-bear things like going fishing.

If babe saw how Ben was doing it, well, maybe she'd get the knack of it.

But it didn't work out that way.

While Ben was doing his best to show babe how to fish and invite her to come on in the water,

well, poor babe had all she could do to just sit there and watch.

The only fish babe that ever ate was served to her on a fancy dish,

so she didn't understand what Ben was doing in the water with it, fish in his mouth.

Well, the whole thing frustrated her so much that she'd just up and walk plumb away.

Adams, why do you think Marvin wouldn't tell us the age of his bear?

Because he's worried about her age and his own, nobody likes to admit they're getting old.

Ben, look here.

Hi, babe. You back from the woods so soon?

Do you have a good time out there?

Yeah. Bet you found yourself a nice berry bush, didn't you?

Eat some nice juicy roots?

That meadow grass is good for your stomach.

That'll make you feel a lot better.

Bet your old Ben showed you all them good natural villes where it did me.

I'm just gonna squeeze around here a little bit and kill your bones.

Her bones are older than she is.

Well, how can that be?

I kind of live and she's been doing just saying natural for a bear, Jack.

Eating all that rich city food.

Only it costs for half of it.

Her shoulders all swole up with Lumbago.

Lumbago, huh?

I know just how you feel, girl.

I might have a piece of jerky here for you, babe.

I sure wasn't looking forward to Marvin here and what Adams told me.

So maybe it was a good thing when the Goma dropped by when he did.

How's your picture coming?

Oh, good, good, good.

Sure has he, Nacoma.

That's Nacoma, our friend from the Indian Village.

Howdy.

Hey, Jack, you see any sign of babes?

Yeah, she's down to creek there with Adams.

Doing real fine.

Oh, good, good.

I got a lot of confidence, not man.

You know, he's really amazing.

I thought I knew bears, but according to him, I'm just an amateur.

Hi, Ben. Where you been?

I saved some breakfast for you.

I bet you didn't get too much to eat this morning, did you, babe?

I saved some nice juicy berries for you down in the caverns.

Want to follow me down there?

Come on, girl, let's go.

There was more than berries waiting back at the camp.

There was more than berries waiting back at the cabin.

There was a man waiting, hoping for a miracle.

Mary Lou, Danel, look in here.

You want to see what you look like?

There you are.

There you are.

Hey.

Basti, are you a lilyak?

No, he's not a medicine man.

He's a magic man. He does magic.

Magic?

Yeah.

Magic soapy.

Well, magic is, uh...

Adams?

Magic is something that looks like it is, but it really ain't so.

That's what it is in the Marvin.

Yeah, yeah.

That, that, that is exactly what it is.

Manner speaking.

Magic.

Do you saw a week?

Yeah, and the cool one wants to see some.

Oh.

All right, tell me.

Let me see here what we might work out.

Magic.

That's good.

You got any other tricks? Any, any big ones?

Oh, no, no.

I'd really like to see some of your magic.

Well, I'd like to oblige you just to repay your hospitality, Adams,

but really nothing I can do without baby, you know.

You know, I might be able to work something out with number seven there and...

and then, huh?

Yeah, well, I'd have to rehearse, though.

Well, Nicole and me to help you.

All right.

All right.

Be interesting to see what Ben could do, maybe, huh?

But I'll work behind the cabin there where you can't see me.

I'll get number seven.

All right.

All right.

This mighty fine sketch you did here, Mary Lou and Dano, Marvin.

Thanks.

I do some woodcarvers, myself.

Small little animals.

Even sell a few of them, but nothing as fine as your stuff.

Oh, just simple sketches.

Go ahead and look at them if you'd like.

Now, come on, number seven.

Marvin's going to teach you some new tricks.

Oh, that's the truth.

You're going to be a part of a magic show.

Now, come on.

Number seven, you...

Just come on now.

You hear me?

Show time, number seven.

Oh, come on.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Dano, no account.

Always listening to somebody else.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

She's eating.

That means she's getting better, don't it?

She's got a long way to go, Jack, before she's strong again.

I told Marvin you could care about anything.

It's going to break his heart.

Don't you figure Marvin knows by now?

Well, you heard the man he thinks he's going to Chicago and St. Louis and do his show.

Well, when a man's looking for a miracle, either he believes it's going to happen,

or he's going to give it a real good show.

I still think you're wrong.

Looking a lot better to him than Joe.

It ain't easy for any of us to face the truth, especially Marvin.

He thinks that babe's young is going to make him young.

He's been using babe like a cripple man uses a crutch.

He's going to have to learn not to lean on babe anymore.

He's going to have to let her lead her own life.

Everyone was looking forward to that show.

Hawks, Adams, Joshua, me, Nacoma, babe, all waiting to see number seven and bend purple.

Even Mary Lou and Dannell.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Presenting Marvin the magnificent and his company.

Good.

For my first sleight of hand.

Good Marvin.

Music, maestro.

Please.

Ladies and gentlemen, you see one long strip of paper.

Nacoma, would you please step up here and assist me.

Now, right there with your knife, Nacoma.

Carefully thrust it through there and cut the paper.

Thank you very much.

You have assisted beautifully now then.

Two pieces of paper.

I place them gently back together again.

Ladies and gentlemen, watch very closely.

Once more with the scissors, I cut them and how whole presto.

That is magic.

Thank you very much.

And there is still more to come.

Once in a while here in the wilderness, one wishes that one had a little summer teepee.

A, somewhere to retire and rest on warm summer evenings.

Perhaps one might consider building a little teepee of cards.

With that.

That's real good, Marvin.

Ain't it, Nacoma?

Jack, may I have your hat for a moment, please?

Oh, sure.

Thank you.

Tell me, Jack, are there any holes in this hat?

No, sir.

There better not be when I get back.

Oh, dear dear.

I can't imagine how I could possibly put my cane through this hat without making a hole.

I may have to buy you a new hat.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

That's a funny hat you're wearing.

Ain't as funny as the one Jack's wearing.

Is that you talking number seven?

Seven, do you like Jack?

Sometimes he's as ornery and stubborn as a mule.

Well, I never said anything mean about you.

Oh, sir. I'm sorry to hear you say that.

I'm thinking of changing his name.

Change his name to what, seven?

Number seven and a half.

That's how close he is to getting replaced.

That's gratitude for you.

Seven, thanks you, and I.

Thank you.

And now presenting the one and only...

Oh, excuse me.

The stand-in for the one and only.

That's great, this way.

In the wonder bear.

You are witnessing a brilliant display of balance and precision.

So is actually being suspended in the air on the agile toes of a furry carnivore.

And now the most amazing, the most astounding feat ever performed before human eyes.

Bow! The vanishing pale!

Now Ben, I hope you haven't forgotten how to do this.

There you are. Have you got a good grip on the pale, Ben?

Good.

Keep your eyes on the pale. Oh, oh my goodness.

Ben, where's the pale?

Ben, I find that hard to believe. Where is the pale?

Oh, number seven has it.

And now magic!

Number seven does have the pale.

That was great Marvin. I mean just terrific.

Wouldn't he good to come up?

Yes sir, find you.

Thank you. One and all.

That was a good show, Mr. Marvin.

Marvin, we're mighty beholden to you.

None of us have ever seen a show quite like it.

I certainly couldn't have done it alone.

You know, Ben's help was terrific. He is so smart that with just a little bit more practice,

he could be as good as babe was in her prime.

Hey!

Hey!

Adam, they're coming me ready to go. You got your carbons?

Yeah, they're right here, Jack.

Isn't that good?

Yeah, it is.

You only got two?

That's all I had time to do. Do you think Mr. Maryweather would be down at the post to buy him?

I don't know. Last time I talked to him, he said he's going to be busy working on a maniac book.

A maniac book?

Yeah, that's what he said.

You need anything from the settlement, Marvin?

Oh yeah, yeah. Matter of fact, you can get me some sugar for babe.

And I think I could use a little salt too.

Oh, uh, uh, uh, upon second thought, I think I'll just pick that up when I get in there myself.

Well, why don't you try trading for what you need like I do?

Trading. Yeah, when Jack can't sell my carbons, he trades for what we need.

Well, I don't think my sketches are nearly good enough for that.

Oh, yes they are. They're better my carbons, ain't they, Jack?

Well, I wouldn't say that, but... well, they're good.

If you think they'd really bring something, I'll just go and get my best ones.

And it ain't hardly likely that that'll trade.

I'll do what you can.

Well, there you are now, Jack. I'll take anything within reason.

Well, I'll, uh, I'll do my best.

Bye.

Oh, all right, Ben. All right, you can quit. We're finished now.

Well, I'll touch it up a little bit and give it to you, something to remember me by.

I'll be glad to have it, Marvin. Thank you.

Well, it's little enough to repay you for all the consideration you've shown, babe.

Oh, by the way, where is babe?

You know, I better spend a little more time with her. She's gonna think I traded her in for Ben.

Oh, babe's out there in the woods somewhere.

You mean you left her out there alone?

She's a bear. She's not a lap dog. She is weak and sick, and she needs me.

You know what I think she needs? She needs to get away from you for a while. You and your cream pies.

Give me another week with her out there.

Adam's and Ben spent the week making babe feel at home in the wilderness.

They've seen to it she got plenty of exercise, ate bare food, and well, kind of got to feel at what nature was all about.

Now, just sit still a minute and I'll be all done.

Marvin, I want you to follow me and bring your sketchpad. I got something for you to draw.

Oh, what is it? It's babe. She's fishing in the stream.

Adam took Marvin right down to the streamer.

Gosh, look at that. She never caught a fish before in her life.

It's not easy, Marvin. Ben has a hard time catching it.

Look how fast you move.

It helps when you're hungry. Watch him, babe. Do this, Marvin reminds me of the time old Jack stopped to make camp.

He was as hungry as a bear's own self.

Certainly, I'll tell you, something like a mountain lion must have spooked number seven.

Pouch! Quick as a brush fire he took off. Straight for these cliffs.

All the vittles and goodies were right in the backpack.

Well, I don't know if you can believe this, but a man Jack's age passing up a spook burrow.

Well, I'm telling you, that was one hungry mountain man.

I've heard some of Jack's stories, but the only ones he never exaggerated was the one about your capabilities.

Hey, babe, you're a fisherman.

I'll see if you're a fisherman, go and get away.

Say, you know what? We could put that in the act.

We have a tank of fish. Bring it right on the stage, and babe would reach in and pull out a fish alive without herding it at all.

I tell you, eh, Adams.

You sure gave her the right medicine?

I hope you'll give something to me when I leave.

Marvin, you'd have to take the wilderness and everything that's in it.

Well, I don't understand.

Marvin, what's helped babe doesn't come in a bottle.

There ain't no medicine. Except when one's out here. I didn't do anything for babe. I couldn't.

I've got eyes. I can see. She's better.

I believe what you want, Marvin.

Babe's old. Her legs are stiff. Her joints are swollen.

We may be old, babe and I, but we are not ancient. We have lots of good years left together.

I know you do, but babe can't roll around and turn that herding girdy anymore. She's not an acrobat.

She's finished. I do not accept that. I've trained her all of my life.

You've done wonders for her, but somewhere there's got to be a doctor who can cure babe permanently.

Even if you can't.

Well, you believe what you want, but the truth is the truth. I don't make the rules. Nature makes them.

You're wrong.

Babe, there's no more finish than I am. You are wrong.

You've got to be.

Nobody said anything about being finished, Marvin. There's still lots of important things you can do.

For yourself and for others.

Sir, I will not be patronized.

I guess Marvin felt so bad about what he said to Adams. He just couldn't face him in the morning.

So, when everyone was asleep, he wrote Adams a letter saying he was sorry and that he was a lie.

All right, babe. Get in the wagon.

Well, goodbye, Ben. We sure are going to miss you. You've had a great friend to me, and babe.

Goodbye.

The combination of it being dark and Marvin thinking so hard about his problems, he didn't notice it were Ben and not babe who got into that way.

No.

Not wanting to wake anyone up, Marvin led that wagon away as quietly as he could.

There is no way he could know that it wasn't babe riding in that wagon, but Ben.

Good morning. Marvin still thought it was babe sleeping in that wagon.

Well, babe, I guess you're going to miss the wilderness and being among your own.

But don't you worry, babe. Don't worry. I'm going to find us a place where we can be together.

I guess there with maybe some trees and a river with fish and not too far away.

Yeah, Adams was right, babe. I guess I just never wanted to reach the day or face the fact.

That we are finished.

Now, I just hope he'll forgive me for being unkind.

Adams found Marvin's letter right off, and it made him feel mighty bad.

I guess maybe he felt kind of responsible for Marvin leaving like he did.

Naturally, when he seemed babe, he couldn't figure out why she was still here.

Morning, babe. You haven't seen Ben around, have you?

Might it procure your babe, Marvin, going off and not mention it?

Leaving you behind.

He says here that he couldn't face me for what he'd said.

Shucks, I wasn't mad at him.

Well, you had your wash. I reckon I'd have mine.

Ben! Ben!

When were he years, babe?

Ben!

Ben was still with Marvin.

Though poor Marvin had no way of knowing it.

With Ben staying in the wagon being real quiet, no.

Well, babe, we're going to rest here a while. I want to sketch that magnificent view.

Mmm!

Babe? Mmm!

Ben!

Look, you are not supposed to.

I thought you were babe. You're not...

Oh, Ben, I told you. What is Adam's going to think?

He's going to think I stole you away.

Yeah. I do appreciate your consideration.

But you don't belong with me.

I'm sorry, man.

We had better get you back before they find out that you're gone.

Oh, good heavens.

When I got there, I knowed right off. Things wasn't right.

Where is everybody?

We'd go away for two weeks, come back and...

They ain't a soul inside.

Marvin, of course, take.

Yeah, Marvin is gone.

It's wagon, team, everything.

But why would he go off to leave babe?

Adam's a chev, aren't you?

Oh, yeah.

Adam's a cleared up.

I got a funny feeling something made right.

Where's Ben?

Well, Adam's was telling me what happened.

Ben was showing Marvin a shortcut back to the cabin.

There ain't no other answer.

That man had been on his mind ever since he first saw him.

No.

If Ben went with him, it was because he wanted to.

How long has Ben gone?

I don't know.

Well, we can get in a coma here to track him.

He can't have gone that far.

No.

Not, not, Adam's.

The man took Ben, and that makes him a thief,

and he ought to be treated like a thief.

I'm going to fix the chair in this little guy's leg.

Well, let that don't be though.

Here, Adam's has been worrying about Marvin selling his drawings,

and all the time, all Marvin was thinking about us,

getting ahold of Ben, taking him away and taking him east.

Hey, Adam's Ben's back.

Ben, well, hello, Ben.

Oh, Ben.

It's good to see you.

Where are you, Ben?

You got some new place I don't know nothing about.

Oh, oh, oh.

The place he found was in my wagon.

Oh.

Adam's.

Last night, after I decided to go,

I told Babe to get in my wagon.

Now, I know this is hard to believe,

but in the darkness, I didn't know it was Ben.

Well, that's the easiest thing for me to believe I've ever heard, Marvin.

Oh.

Thank you.

Marvin, I think Jack's got something to say to you.

Yeah.

Marvin, I owe you an apology.

I... I misjudged you.

Well, I think you can make up for it by telling him about his drawings.

Oh, yeah.

The trade post took him in trade.

Well, not exactly, but how would you like to make your drawings and have them put into a book?

Are you serious?

Sure, I'm serious.

I ran into that merry weather fellow down at the settlement,

and he wants you to make your drawings so he can put them in his maniac book.

Maniac book.

She's amazing.

Hey, the whole thing sounds crazy to me.

Is that their stagecoach ticket look crazy?

He wants you to come to St. Louis right away.

Ticket looks genuine enough, all right, all right?

It is.

Oh, no, no.

No, I couldn't desert babe. She needs me.

She's been doing just fine here, Adams.

But I can't take the wilderness with me.

Marvin, there's plenty of room out here for another bear,

and Ben and I will be more than happy to look out after her.

You know Marvin, babe's kind of like a... like a thoroughbred racehorse, you might say.

Her racing days are over.

It's time to give her a rest.

You gotta put her out to pasture Marvin.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, goodbye babe.

You'll take real good care of you here, Adams and Jack, don't you worry.

You take care of yourself now.

Everything's gonna be all right, babe.

Goodbye.

Hey, babe.

Adams?

We got a visitor for you and babe.

Hi there.

Adams, good to see you.

Good to see you, Marvin. How you doing?

Fine, fine. How's my babe?

Your babe is doing fine. She's got a nice little den, not too far from here,

and the animal's been keeping an eye on her, and from time to time,

I even go down and check on her myself.

Matter of fact, she's paying us a visit this morning.

Hey, good.

I saw her down at the creek myself.

Listen, uh, how did things go in St. Louis for you?

Well, I really struck it rich.

The maniac book that Jack was talking about, well,

it turned out to be an animal almanac that Mr. Maryweather's compiling,

and he engaged me to do all the illustrations for it.

Yep, and there may be another volume in the offing.

You know, Jack, Adams, the parameters of my debt to you are infinite.

Sure likes him big words, don't he?

Yeah, and he knows how to use him.

The maniac book.

You know, when we first met, I was a desperate man.

Babe and I both had too many years on us,

and the future looked pretty bleak for both of us.

But now the fates have kind of turned around,

and thanks to both of you, things are looking better.

And especially thanks to you, Mr. Adams.

We've both learned not to fight age, but to live with it.

And as the poets might say, find excitement in every new sunrise.

Now, shall we go down to the creek and see Babe?

We won't have to. Here she comes now.

Babe! Babe, it's good to see how you...

Ladies and gentlemen,

introducing Babe the Exwonder Bear.

Now, Babe, the Happy Bear.

Babe, the Happy Bear.

Ben, have you ever considered a career in show business?

Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you.

Deep inside the forest is adoring to another land.

Here is our life and home.

We are staying here forever in the beauty of this place alone.

We keep on hoping.

May there, there's a world where we don't have to run.

May there, there's a time we'll call our own,

living free in harmony and majesty.

Take me home.

Take me home.
