Yogi Bear movie plot
-
[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]
