For Open Season:
"You are home."
- Elliot wanting to repay Boog after he was freed, even though it was to the bear's dismay.
- Boog receives some Character Development big time.
- After Boog had parted ways with Elliot after the buck had lied about knowing where Timberline was only wanting Boog to befriend him, he has some character development after entering Shaw's cabin and discovering the horrifying taxidermy animals and heads hanging on Shaw's wall, followed by seeing other hunters heading to the forest after escaping from Shaw after he had returned. Boog returns to bring Elliot with him, to keep him from harm.
Elliot: What are you doing here?
Boog: I couldn't go home without my partner.
Elliot: I don't have a partner.
Boog: Elliot.
Elliot: I don't need the herd and I don't need you. So leave me alone.
Boog: (Beat) Ain't gonna be able to do it. You see, I already saved you once. That makes me responsible for you.
Elliot: What?
Boog: I saw that. Come on, let me hear you say it. Partners.
Elliot: No.
Boog: What was that?
Elliot: (sighs, mutters) I guess we can be partners.
Boog: I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
Elliot: (still muttering) I said I guess we can be partners.
Boog: P-P-P-P...
(Elliot chuckles)
Both: Partners!- When Beth returns and decides to take Boog back home, he looks back at Elliot and the others and chooses to stay with his best friend in the forest.
Beth: You are home.
For Open Season 2:
- Elliot professing his love for Giselle and gathering the courage to marry her.
- All of the other pets and their owners expressing happiness when they hear that Bob and Bobbie have found Weenie (who, as far as they know, was lost and in danger).
For Open Season 3:
- Boog bonding with and joining Gisela and Giselita on a rabbit fight.
- Shortly before Elliot and his children have their rabbit fight, Elvis can be seen giving a rabbit a noogie and then hugging him.
- Doug realizing his errors and reuniting with Alistair. He immediately gives him a big bear hug, unintentionally squashing him. After releasing him, Doug apologizes to Boog for having tricked him before.
- Boog bringing Ursa to live with him at the forest since he does not want to leave her or Elliot.
- When Boog, Elliot, and their male friends go on the guys' trip, they all sit to watch the sunset later on. Boog comments that nothing is better than having a good time with his best friends. Elliot agrees and he and Boog fist bump, with Elliot proclaiming themselves as BFF's 'til the end.
- Fifi, the former Big Bad, wholeheartedly rallies the pets to rescue Boog. Even though Fifi's new personality is implied to be the result of Crippling Castration, it's still sweet.
- The clown convinces the bear trainer (who is implied to be his son) not to intervene as Boog and Ursa flee, saying the circus can survive without them and that the two bears clearly want to go.
