Yogi Bear Quotes

  • Rachel: I heard that you have an unusual brown bear.

  • Yogi Bear: What the heck was that?

    Boo Boo: I have problems with potato salad.

    Yogi Bear: Hang on Boo Boo!

    Boo Boo: What do we do now?

    Yogi Bear: Did you check the safety manual?

    Boo Boo: It's just a picture of us screaming!

    [Both scream and flail their arms]

  • Ranger Smith: We got a bear disturbance!

    Ranger Jones: All units, lock the park! I repeat, lock down the park!

    Ranger Smith: You know I'm the only other ranger here, right?

  • Ranger Smith: Bears are supposed to avoid people, not run around stealing their food!

    Yogi Bear: I agree, sir. That's why Boo-Boo and I would never disturb family pic-a-nics.

  • Ranger Smith: Yogi, that's the problem, all the thinking! Hey, you know what would be great? If you didn't think, if you could just be a regular bear; you know, sit in the woods minding his own business. But nope: you're different, you're SMART, and you have to spend your days being selfish and destructive while everyone else pays the price! I'm sure it's never been enough screwing up my life. But this time, you had to go and bring down this entire park. So tell me Yogi, how smart are you now?

  • Ranger Smith: [to Rachel] Is he still filming?

    Rachel: I needed more footage, so I told him to keep it rolling.

    Ranger Smith: Then I can plug that into the video camera right up there. I just need a way to distract the guards.

    Yogi Bear: I think we can take care of that.

  • Yogi Bear: They have donuts. DONUTS!

    [Yogi has a fantasy of a giant donut]

    Boo Boo: [Interrupting fantasy] Yogi, what're you doing?

    Yogi Bear: [Determined] I'm going!

    Boo Boo: No, Yogi! We promised the Ranger we would stay away.

    Yogi Bear: You're right. I'm losing control, Boo-Boo. I don't know who's steering the ship!

  • Yogi Bear: I'm so smart it hurts.

    Boo Boo: Uh, you're standing on the soldering iron.

  • Ranger Smith: Jellystone's too important to give up on.

  • Ranger Smith: What do you want from me, Yogi? I don't have a life left for you to ruin any more.

    Yogi Bear: Sir, I know I messed things up, and I'm sorry. I never meant to. You and Boo Boo are the best friends I ever had, and I've never done anything but think of myself. And now Jellystone is just gonna be a big field of stumps.

    Ranger Smith: What?

    Boo Boo: They've started cutting down the trees.

    Ranger Smith: Agricultural interest is logging. Oh, no, not our Jellystone.

    Yogi Bear: We have to save it, sir.

    Ranger Smith: I don't think we CAN save it, Yogi.

    [sits down on the bench]

    Ranger Smith: I'm no smarter than you.

    [looks to Yogi]

    Ranger Smith: I lost Jellystone.

    [looks to Boo Boo]

    Ranger Smith: I lost Rachel.

    [stares ahead]

    Ranger Smith: It's... over.

    Yogi Bear: Mr. Ranger, I've learned two things from stealing pic-a-nic baskets. One: Light mayonnaise is not nearly as good as regular mayonnaise. And two: You can't fail if you never stop trying. You have to fight for the thing you love, whether it's a park, a girl or a roast beef sandwich! Don't give up now! We're all Jellystone's got!

    Ranger Smith: [rises to his feet] You're right, Yogi. Jellystone's too important to give up on. We got to try. Come on.

    Yogi Bear: Shotgun.

    Boo Boo: Aww.

  • [Ranger Smith, Ranger Jones, Rachel, Yogi and Boo Boo arrive with the turtle]

    Ranger Smith: Well, well. Guess who we found.

    Yogi Bear: Starts with T and ends with a... "urtle"?

    Ranger Smith: It's all over, Mr. Mayor. Call off the logging deal. The law says this park is now a protected nature preserve.

    Mayor Brown: You think I care about what the law says? Or about some endangered "frog-mouthed turtle"? Or some stupid park for families to have a picnic in? I care about power, you pinheads!

    [Boo Boo gasps]

    Mayor Brown: And I'm gonna get it. Nobody knows this turtle exists, and nobody ever will.

  • [Rachel shows Ranger Smith, Yogi and Boo Boo a documentary video on her laptop]

    Rachel: I was reviewing the documentary footage from Boo Boo's camera and I saw this.

    Yogi Bear: Oh, my! I see it.

    [spins around]

    Yogi Bear: I have a bald spot back there!

    Rachel: I'm not talking about you, Yogi. I'm talking about this.

    [pauses the video and zooms in on Boo Boo's turtle]

    Boo Boo: Yeah, it's my pet turtle. He hangs out at the cave all the time.

    Yogi Bear: True. Did you know they don't come out of that shell? I tried one time just to see what one would look like without it, but, nope, they're sewn in.

    Rachel: This is no regular turtle. See the bulging, frog-like eyes and the really wide mouth?

    Ranger Smith: A frog-mouthed turtle?

    Rachel: Yep. Rafetus swinhoei.

    [Yogi and Boo Boo look to each other and shrug their shoulders]

    Ranger Smith: But those are extinct.

    Rachel: For a hundred years, but apparently, one still exists. And he lives in there, but they won't let me through the gates to go find him.

    Ranger Smith: But if Jellystone has an endangered species living in it, then...

    Rachel: It has to be protected as a park. That's the law.

    Ranger Smith: That turtle can save this park.

    Yogi Bear: Now I feel kinda bad about using him as a foot stool.

    Boo Boo: Huh?

  • Ranger Smith: Hey! You need to let us in this park! That turtle needs our protection!

    Chief of Staff: Don't worry about the turtle. We're handling it. We'll make sure he's put in a nice zoo.

    Rachel: No! A turtle that's endangered can't be removed from its natural habitat! It's against federal law!

    Chief of Staff: It is? Wow! I've never heard of that law in Chapter Four, Subsection Six of the Wildlife Protection Mandate.

    Yogi Bear: Don't worry, Mr. Ranger, sir. That turtle is safe. These people have no idea where my cave is.

    Chief of Staff: [into his walkie-talkie] The turtle's in the talking bear's cave.

    Ranger Jones: [over walkie-talkie] Copy that.

    Yogi Bear: Wow. That backfired.

    Ranger Smith: OK. You know what? Fine. You win.

    [Ranger Smith turns around to walk away; Rachel glares at the Chief of Staff who waves to her with an evil smile]

    Rachel: [whispering] What are you doing?

    Ranger Smith: I have a plan.

    [unlocks a gate]

    Ranger Smith: One of the advantages...

    [throws a big branch aside]

    Ranger Smith: ... of having lived here since I was a kid is...

    [opens the gate]

    Ranger Smith: ... I know this park like the back of my hand. Let's go!

    [Ranger Smith climbs into Rachel's truck; Yogi and Boo Boo sit in the back]

    Rachel: [turns to Yogi and Boo Boo] Hold on, boys!

    Yogi Bear: All right!

    [Rachel drives through the gate and into the park]

  • Chief of Staff: Great job, Jones! I'll go ahead and get this guy to the city zoo.

    Ranger Jones: The city zoo?

    Chief of Staff: Yep. They got a nice spot all ready for him in the reptile house.

    Ranger Jones: The city zoo doesn't have a reptile house.

    Chief of Staff: They're building one.

    Ranger Jones: Oh. Who is?

    Chief of Staff: Builders.

    Ranger Jones: Are-are you sure you're trying to protect the turtle?

    Chief of Staff: Yeah, we LOVE turtles.

    Ranger Jones: Then you won't mind if I hold onto him until I notify the Wildlife Federation, right?

    Chief of Staff: All right.

    [chuckles]

    Chief of Staff: You're gonna find this out in a few hours anyway, so I might as well tell you. We gotta lose this turtle so we can sell the logging rights to the park.

    Ranger Jones: Logging? The whole park?

    Chief of Staff: Yeah, but who cares? It's still a park, just without trees. And they'll grow back.

    Ranger Jones: Yeah, in, like, 200 years!

    Chief of Staff: It doesn't matter. Your career is what matters.
