Man Saved From Mountain Lion By Bear

Man Saved From Mountain Lion By Passing Bear

Shortly after man is saved by bear...

MAN
Cool, well, thanks a lot for saving me from that bear.

BEAR
Oh yeah, it's no trouble, you know, I was just kind of passing through and you looked like you could have used some help.

MAN
Yeah, no, I totally appreciate that.  It was really great that you were here.

BEAR
Yeah, I mean, I know what it can be like to sort get stuck in the middle of nowhere and something's trying to kill you, it's not too fun.

MAN
Oh totally, totally.

BEAR
Well...

MAN
Yeah I should probably get going.  Wife'll be wondered where I went off to...

BEAR
I mean, I really can't just let you go...

MAN
What's that?

BEAR
Yeah, I mean, I really can't let you go.  I mean, you're a food source, I got my cubs here, we all really need to eat something.  Plus we're bears, we're pretty indiscriminate when we're hungry.

MAN
Oh really?  Oh that's too bad.

BEAR
Yeah.

MAN
I mean I really respect that you don't discriminate.

BEAR
Yeah, we're pretty forward thinking as far as forest creatures go.

MAN
Cool, yeah, that's great. That's great.

BEAR
Alright so, is there any special way you wanna do this to make it go by quicker. I'd really like to get this going before the ranger gets here. I'm sure he heard all that screaming and whatnot from the mountain lion that I saved you from.

MAN
Yeah, I don't know, is there anyway I could talk you out of eating me.

BEAR
You know, not really.  I hate to be so firm on this, but I have been trying to be more assertive in my everyday life, you know exude more confidence.

MAN
No, that's awesome.  You have to, you know.  I always tell my wife that, sometimes you have to be the asshole.

BEAR
Exactly.  Exactly.  I'm trying to tell my cubs that.  You gotta stick up for yourself.

MAN
Could I invite you over for dinner?  We could cook you a nice meal and you could meet my wife.  You wouldn't have to go through the trouble of eating me.

BEAR
You know, I'd probably just end up eating your wife, too.  I mean, I can put down probably two humans, plus what my cubs eat.  And you look like you don't have too much weight on you.

MAN
Thanks, you know I've been trying to lose some weight.

BEAR
Oh well, it's working, whatever you're doing.

MAN
Aw, thanks, I appreciate that.

BEAR
No problem, no problem.  Okay, well, on with the show I guess--

RANGER
Hey, what's going on here, everyone okay?

MAN
Yeah, yeah, we're all good.  A mountain lion attacked me and this bear stopped it.

BEAR
Actually yeah, we were kind of in the middle of something, so if you could be on your way, that'd be great.

RANGER
Sorry, can't leave you two alone.  You're gonna have to get back out into the woods.

BEAR
What?  Aw, come on.  You know what, this sucks.  I come out here, I save this guy's life, I put myself and my cubs at risk, and I get nothing in return.

RANGER
Well, I'm sorry your disappointed.

MAN
Yeah, I'm sorry.

BEAR
Oh, you're sorry?  Well, sorry isn't gonna feed my kids you know.  This is just like humans.  You guys suck.  You have sucky attitudes.

MAN
Oh we have sucky attitudes?

BEAR
Yeah you have a very unbalanced sucky attitude towards life.

MAN
Unbalanced?

BEAR
Yeah, I mean you come in here into my home and you hike through for exercise to try and lose that spare tire around your waist... 

MAN
Oh, okay, try to hurt me and my feelings, that's mature, after all the nice things you said?

BEAR
You know what, I just feel a little slighted by this whole experience.  And I think I should leave before I say something that I'll regret.

MAN
Yeah maybe we should all just go our separate ways.

BEAR
Yeah, yeah, I hope you both enjoy your wonderful walk through my home, after I saved you from being killed by a mountain lion... unbelievable...
