He's also converted a nearby crate into a pretend car, with a pie plate steering wheel and paper plate headlights. Zoe races by in her Zoemobile, and Baby Bear fawns over it. He imagines himself driving it through an animated landscape, singing "Let's Go Driving."

They finally notice it's missing, just in time to witness it crash into Oscar's trash can, putting a dent in the front! Oscar comes out from the can and is very pleased with what he sees. Telly begins to panic, but Baby Bear is certain he can fix it just as long as Telly can keep Zoe in Hooper's for an extended period. |

SCENE 2 cont'd | Zoe has finished her sandwich and compliments Alan on his PB and J technique when Telly rushes in and recommends she try some broccoli for dessert. As Alan prepares some, Telly begins to spout some facts about broccoli. Meanwhile, Baby Bear has gotten Papa Bear's toolbox and assumes he can repair the Zoemobile based on how he's seen Papa Bear use tools. He bangs the vehicle with his hammer, which only manages to knock a front wheel off. |
  |
SCENE 2 cont'd | A montage follows with Telly doing various performances to keep Zoe's attention diverted, including a tap dance routine and pulling a tablecloth from underneath some dishware.

SCENE 2 cont'd | Telly wraps up his tuba version of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," but before he can do an encore Zoe tries to leave, so he blocks the doorway and starts yelling, "NO!" repeatedly. Meanwhile, a slightly crazed Baby Bear tries to conceal the broken fender with a potted plant. Papa Bear arrives and Baby Bear confesses what happened. Papa Bear offers to help, but only after Baby Bear tells Zoe the truth as she deserves to know. Telly and Zoe finally reach the Zoemobile and Baby Bear explains what happened. Zoe breaks down in tears and sadly hugs her broken ride and Baby Bear assumes she no longer wants to be friends. Zoe assures him their friendship is more important and the two share a big bear hug. She's glad to know that Papa Bear can fix it and he does a quick repair, even adding some flames on the sides, and she takes it for a test drive. |
