Kenai Quotes in Brother Bear (2003)

Kenai: I'm not a bear. I hate bears.

Rutt: Well, gee, eh, you're one big beaver.

Kenai: Enough with the stories. I don't care about the time you and Binky found the world's biggest pine cone ever.

Koda: First of all, his name's Bucky, not Binky. And second, it wasn't a pine cone, it was a pine nut, and it was huge, even bigger than your fat head.

[trying to break the news to Koda that he killed his mother]

Kenai: Koda, there's... something I ought to... you know that story you told me last night?

Koda: Yeah.

Kenai: Well, I have a story to tell you.

Koda: Really? What's it about?

Kenai: Well, it's kind of about a man... and kind of about a bear. But mostly, it's about a monster.

Koda: Mom says the spirits make all the magical changes in the world, like how the leaves change color, or how the moon changes shape, or tadpoles change into frogs...

Kenai: Yeah, I get it. You know, for a change, maybe they could just leave things alone.

Koda: What do you mean?

Kenai: My brother's a spirit, and if it wasn't for him, I... I wouldn't be here.

Koda: You have a brother up there? What happened to him?

Kenai: He was killed by a bea... by a monster.

Koda: What's your brother's name?

Kenai: Sitka.

Koda: Thanks, Sitka. If it weren't for you, I would have never met Kenai.

[lays down on the mammoth's tusks, sighs]

Koda: I always wanted a brother.

Tuke: How's it going, bear?

Kenai: Don't call me that.

Tuke: Sorry, um... Mister Bear?

Kenai: I was transformed into a bear, magically. I was lifted into the sky by my brother.

Tuke: Uh-huh.

Tuke: [fake cough] You're *crazy*!

Rutt: Gesundheit.

Tuke: [fake cough] No, a *fruitcake*!

Rutt: Are you okay?

Tuke: [fake cough] No, that *bear* over *there*! He's *crazy*!

Kenai: I'm not crazy!

Tuke: Who ever said you were? We understand. either.

Kenai: You do?

Tuke: Yeah, we're not really moose either.

Rutt: We're not?

Tuke: No, we're more... like squirrels.

Rutt: Oh, yeah. Beauty, eh? Well, he's a squirrel. I'm more of a pure-breed wolverine. Look at these cuspids. Rrrr!

Tuke: Give him some room.

Kenai: Why am I even talking to a couple of dumb moose?

Tuke: No, we're squirrels, eh?

Rutt: Wolverine.

[Kenai tells Denahi he wants to remain a bear to watch over Koda]

Kenai: But... Denahi...

Denahi: It's all right, Kenai. No matter what you choose, you'll always be my little brother.

[they hug and Kenai transforms back into a bear]

Denahi: Whoa... Did I say little?

Kenai: [of his totem] The bear of love?

Tanana: A love that connects and unites all living things.

[Kenai looks back to see Denahi laughing silently at him]

Kenai: [whispering] Who wants to trade?

Tanana: There is NO trading!

[smacks him over the head]

Kenai: I'm not a beaver, I'm a bea-, no, I mean I'm not a bear, I'm a MAN!

[about receiving his totem]

Kenai: Yeah, I'll probably get, like, a sabretooth tiger for bravery, or strength, or greatness, you know, something that fits me...

Denahi: How about a mammoth for your fat head? Just make sure you get that basket tied up.

Kenai: Don't worry! No stupid bear's gonna get anywhere near this fish!

Denahi: Just tie it up.

Kenai: Hey, I've got a mountain to get to. Come on, kid.

Koda: I told you before. My name's Koda. Say it with me... Ko-da.

Kenai: Are you sure your mom didn't ditch you, Ko-da?

[Kenai tells Denahi his choice to stay a bear and look after Koda]

Kenai: He needs me.

Denahi: You know, you did look better as a bear...

[after a caribou stampede]

Kenai: Never try to milk a caribou.

Denahi: Killing that bear won't make you a man.

Kenai: Oh, NOW you're trying to be wise?

Denahi: I'm trying to follow my totem. Why can't you do the same?

Kenai: You really think love has anything to do with being a man? A MAN wouldn't just sit here and do nothing.

Kenai: You ready?

Denahi: For what?

Kenai: We're going after the bear.

Denahi: I know what you're feeling, but... but killing that bear is wrong.

Kenai: Wrong? Our brother is dead and it's because of THAT monster.

Denahi: I don't blame the bear, Kenai.

Kenai: Okay, okay, Heh... Koda... I, uh... I... I gotta get goin'...

Koda: Well, when you come back, we can go...

Kenai: I... I won't be coming back.

Koda: What? Why not?

Kenai: Because... well... it's hard to explai...

Tug: You're leaving?

Kenai: GAH! UH, NO! Well I, uh... I mean yes. Uh... well it's just that I... I don't... I don't belong here.

Tug: "Don't belong"? EVERY bear belongs here.

Kenai: You want to know what I did this year? I went on the longest, hardest, most exhausting journey I have ever been on, with the biggest pain in the neck I have ever met. Well, what do you expect from a little brother?

[noogies Koda]

Koda: Hey, I don't wanna brag or nothing, but I got some moves.

Kenai: Oh, really?

Koda: Yeah. Now, this first one, well... it's just a little something I like to call... the Slasher. And this, I call... Flying Fury of Death.

Kenai: [mock terror] Ah! The hunter's coming back.

Koda: Aah! Where?

[after Kenai got his totem "The Bear of Love"]

Denahi: THERE he is. Ha ha! Come here, lover boy.

[noogies him]

Kenai: Leave me alone.

Denahi: Aw, Kenai wait... I'm sorry.

Kenai: ...What?

Denahi: Your totem... I think it's really great.

Kenai: You do?

Denahi: Yeah. And I made you something...

Kenai: Really?

Kenai: [throws a band of flowers on his head] Now when you skip around loving everybody... you'll smell so sweet!

Sitka: WELL, isn't this nice. Instead of fighting you're giving each other flowers.

Denahi: Yeah. Isn't it lovely? He's so in touch with his totem already!

Sitka: Hey, dog breath, go take care of the fish.

Denahi: Sure.

[while prancing around throwing flowers]

Denahi: Kenai loves me, he loves me not. Kenai loves me, he loves me not...

Sitka: [to Kenai of Denahi] Hey, bonehead, just because his totem is wisdom doesn't mean he's wise. I mean, look at him.

Denahi: Kenai loves me, he loves me not...

[upsets a dog and backs away]

Denahi: Whoa.

Girls: Hi, Denahi.

Denahi: Uh, hi...

[he backs into the dog and gets bitten in the rear]

Kenai: Oooh.

[Kenai screams when he sees a bunch of bears]

Kenai: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh... huh?

Blonde Bear: Hey, you're stirrin' up the water, dude...

Tug: Yeah, try not to scare off the fish there, buddy.

Kenai: Koda... your mother's not coming back.

Chipmunk: Well, they were right here a second ago, and now they're gone!

Second Chipmunk: [with stuffed cheeks] Yeah... that's really weird, huh?

Chipmunk: So, you're telling me YOU didn't eat 'em, and you have NO IDEA where they are?

Kenai: H-hey! You! You just talked!

Chipmunk: J-just... b-back away... real slow-like...

Kenai: How'd you DO that?

[the Second Chipmunk spits out a mouthful of acorns and they both run away]

Chipmunk: I KNEW you had them in there!

[Sitka reminds Denahi's totem doesn't gaurentee his wisdom]

Kenai: Yeah... I guess the spirits messed up on both of our totems.

Sitka: You know, I felt the same way when Tanana gave me mine.

Kenai: Get out of here.

Sitka: No, really. I said, "The eagle of guidance? What does that mean?"... But now that I'm older, I know it's about being a leader... and keeping an eye on you two.

Kenai: ...I just want to get my hand print on that wall.

Sitka: Just be patient, Kenai. When you live by your totem... you will.

Kenai: Really?

Sitka: Guarantee it.

Kenai: Keep all that cuddly bear stuff to a minimum, okay, kid?

[holding Denahi and Kenai back from fighting each other]

Sitka: Now, the quicker we get these fish, the faster we're gonna get to your ceremony. So let's all just try and get along for a few hours! Okay, Denahi?

Denahi: Whatever you say!

Sitka: Okay, Ken-

[notices he isn't holding Kenai anymore]

Kenai: [already in his boat] So? What are we waiting for?

Tanana: Kenai, I have been to the mountain where the lights touch the earth, and the Great Spirits have revealed to me your totem. To become a man, your actions must be guided by one thing: Your totem is... love. Yes, love.

Kenai: [disappointed] The bear of love?

Tanana: A love that connects and unites all living things.

[to Kenai, stuck in a trap and hanging from a tree]

Koda: What are you doing? Guess you didn't see the trap, huh? I saw it from a mile away! You must be pretty embarrassed!

[whispering]

Koda: Don't worry... I won't tell *anyone!*

Kenai: What?

Koda: You need to get down! Let me help...

[he starts hitting Kenai with a stick]

Kenai: Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait... OW!

Koda: Hold still!

Kenai: No, just- Ow! Stop it! Ow! Ooh! Would you just- Ow! Get... get... hey... STOP IT!

Koda: It's no use. The only way to get down is to *chew your own foot off*!

Kenai: Don't DO that!

Koda: Scared you, didn't I?

Kenai: There's scared... and then there's surprised.

Koda: And you were both! Whoa...

[he looks away for a second, hinting for Kenai to try. Kenai gives his best effort at roaring]

Koda: Nice try. Uh, you got a little spit right there...

[about hunters]

Koda: Why do they hate us, Kenai?

Kenai: We're bears.

Koda: So?

Kenai: So... you know how they are! They're... they're killers.

Koda: Wait a minute, who's the killers?

Kenai: Bears.

Koda: What? Which bears? I'm not like that, and you're not like that!

Kenai: Well, obviously not all bears, I mean, you're okay, but most bears... most bears will look for any excuse to attack a human.

Koda: But Kenai, *he* attacked *us*!

[looking for Sitka on the mountain after realizing he killed Koda's mother]

Kenai: Sitka! Sitka, are you there? Sitka! Sitka... please, Sitka... I don't know what else to do.
