Bob the Tomato quotes from VeggieTales

Larry

Hey, Bob?

Bob

Yeah, Larry?

Larry

Um, next summer, let's just sell lemonade, like everyone else.

Bob

That sounds like a good idea.

Bob

Hi, kids, and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato.

Larry

And I'm Larry the Cucumber.

Bob

And we're here to answer your questions.

Larry

Yep.

Bob

I bet you're wondering why Larry has a shoe on his head.

Larry

Yeah, Bob. Why do I have a shoe on my head.

Bob

Well, I got a letter today from Latasha Robbins of Savannah, Georgia. Latasha wants to know what loving your neighbor really means.

Larry

And that's why I have a shoe on my head?

Bob

Yes! No! Well, kind of!

Larry

Help me out here, Bob.

Bob

You see, I'm about to tell Latasha "The Story of Flibber-o-Loo", and in that story, you, Larry, have a shoe on your head.

Larry

Oh, it's all so clear now! Hurry up and tell the story. My head's starting to sweat.

Bob

Okay, here it goes.

Junior Asparagus

Aah! Who are you?

Bob the Tomato

I'm Bob. I'm a tomato, and I need your help!

Junior

Whoa... Déjà vu. [notices the chocolate bar stuck on Larry's helmet] Um... what's he got on his space helmet?

Bob

Huh? What do you mean? [notices it as well] Larry!

Larry the Cucumber

What?

Bob

How times have I told you not to eat while you're wearing your helmet?

Larry

Oh. Sorry. [tries shaking and biting it off, then nudges it off]

LET'S EAT IT!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think it's possible?

Junior

If anyone can do it, they can.

Bob

Only ten seconds left! I sure hope those gourds were hungry! Five... Four... Three... Two... One... INCOMING!!!!!!!!

Jimmy

No more for me, thanks. I'm full. [burps] 'Scuse me.

Bob

Hi, kids, and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato. [short pause] Uh, I'm Bob the Tomato. Larry!

Larry

[offscreen] Just a minute!

Bob

Are you okay?

Larry

[offscreen] I'll be right there! Whoa, excuse me. [enters the countertops, wearing the oven mitt]

Bob

Uh, Larry?

Larry

Yeah, Bob?

Bob

Over here.

Larry

Oh. Yeah?

Bob

Um, have you been cooking?

Larry

What? Ohhhhhh! You noticed my new hat!

Bob

Your hat?

Larry

Yeah. Isn't it the coolest?

Bob

Um, Larry, you've got an oven mitt on your head.

Larry

Oh, yes, they're all the rage. Simply everyone is wearing them.

Bob

Really?

Larry

Well, all the cool people anyway.

Bob

Yeah, but you can't see where you're going! Isn't that a little dangerous?

Larry

Fashion has its price.

Bob

Larry, you almost fell into a toaster back there.

Larry

Oh, Bob, Bob, Bob! Don't you read VeggieBeat magazine? This is the look! Without this oven mitt on my head, I just wouldn't be cool!

Bob

I see. [remembers] Hey! That reminds me of the letter we just got from Dexter Wilmington of Tuscaloosa, Alabama!

Larry

Oh, you don't say!

Bob

I do! [to the viewers] Now Dexter says that sometimes when he's at his friend Billy's house, Billy wants to watch this TV show that Dexter's not supposed to watch. Now Dexter knows that it's a bad show, but Billy says that if he doesn't watch it, it means he's not cool! What should he do?

Larry

Oh, what a pickle! You know, Bob...

Bob

Over here, Larry.

Larry

You know, Bob, I think we need QWERTY for this one. I'll be right back. [hops off]

Bob

Uh, Larry, watch out for the... [Larry falls into the sink, spoon flings into the air] ...sink.

Larry

[from inside the sink] Ouch.

Bob

[hops over to the sink] Are you okay?

Larry

They didn't mention this in the VeggieBeat magazine.

Bob

Heh. You know, Dexter, while I try to get Larry out of the sink, I want you to listen to a story about three boys named Rack, Shack and Benny who were in a pickle just like yours.

Bob

Um. Hi, kids! I'm Bob the Tomato, and I think that's Larry the Cucumber.

Larry

I'm Larry-Boy! Who are you?

Bob

Larry, it's me, Bob.

Larry

Bob? Bob? I don't know Bob! Say there, citizen! Could you give me a hand with my Super-Suction Ear? It seems to have malfunctioned.

Bob

Uh, okay. What do I do?

Larry

Well, it's just that I'm afraid that it's about to let... [his suction ear comes loose and he falls down] ...go. Ouch.

Bob

Wow, I didn't know being a superhero could be so painful. Maybe you should just go back to being plain-old Larry.

Larry

[becomes sad] But I don't want to be plain-old Larry anymore.

Bob

Why not?

Larry

Well, there's nothing special about plain-old Larry. He can't do anything neat like fly or save people or anything. He's just plain-old boring.

Bob

Oh. Not feeling very special, huh?

Larry

Nope.

Bob

Hmm. [thinks for a second] Hey, I know.

Larry

What?

Bob

I could-- [accidentally gets his nose stuck in Larry-Boy's Super-Suction Ear] Ow, my--

Larry

Oh.

Bob

Larry! My no--

Larry

Sorry.

Bob

You got my- Eeh! Eeeeeh! Eeeeeh!

Larry

Bob? Pull... Pull back! Pull back, Bob!

Bob

[pants] Um, well, what I was going to say, is that we-

Bob

Ow, that smarts!

Larry

Hey, look! [on his right suction ear, spinning slowly] I'm a Larry-Go-Round!

Larry

Uh, Bob? What are the Philippines?

Bob

The Philippines are a group of islands off the coast of Southeast Asia, but that's not important now. The Philistines were people who hated Israel. They wanted to take Israel's land and make the Israelites their slaves. So they'd had to do whatever the Philistines told them to do.

Larry

Oh, that's bad.

Bob

You're right. So the Israelites needed to protect themselves.

Who will fight me?!

I will fight you, Goliath!

Jimmy

[to Tom and Jerry] You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say that sounded like Dave!

Tom

[laughs] Well, yeah! [spots Dave running out onto the battlefield] You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say that looks like Dave!

[shocked] Huh?! [Dave smiles at his brothers] DAVE?! [Jimmy faints]

Bob the Tomato

[narrating] Goliath was equally surprised.

Who said that?

[clears throat] I did!

Huh? [sees Dave] Oh ho ho! Am I a dog that you come at me with sticks?

I don't exactly know what you mean, but you are not a dog! You're just a really big guy who wants to beat me up! And I come at you not with sticks, but in the name of the God of Israel, who this day will help me defeat you!

We will see who defeats who! Now we fight!

Jean-Claude

It's showtime!

Larry

Bob, Bob! Are you okay!?

Bob

Mouse Trap!

Larry

Huh?

Bob

I wanted to play Mouse Trap! You roll your dice, you move your mice. Nobody gets hurt.

Bob

Now, kids, we're gonna sing along with one of my favorite songs, "The Bunny Song".

Jean-Claude

[offscreen] Monsieur Bob, we're not supposed to sing ze bunny song!

Bob

Oh-ho-ho! Thank you for pointing that out, Jean-Claude. But this is the new and improved "Bunny Song". This is the one we're supposed to sing.

Jean-Claude

[offscreen] I see.

Larry

Hi kids. I'm Larry the Cucumber. Welcome to the very first VeggieTales success video. Are you ready to make millions of dollars in real-estate with no money down? I know I am.

Bob

LARRY!

Larry

Yeah, Bob?

Bob

Don't you see? This is a sing-along video!

Larry

Ohhhhh, a sing-along video. I like sing-along videos. That's when you put the words at the bottom of the screen so people can sing along at home, right?

Bob

Yup.

Larry

Oh, the kids are gonna love that. What song should we do first?

Bob

[rolls his eyes since the show's almost over] Never mind. [leaves]

Larry

What? [follows Bob] Hey Bob! Guess what? I bought a whole chocolate factory with no money down.

Bob

You did what?

Bob

Hi, kids, and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato.

Larry

And I'm Larry the Cucumber. And we're here to answer your questions.

Bob

That's right. So... who's got a question?

Larry

Oh, hey! I just remembered! I got an e-mail from a kid named Ezzio Vietti in Hackensack, New Jersey.

Bob

You got a what?

Larry

You know, Bob, e-mail. Aren't you wired, online, [sways his hips] surfing the web? HTML, good buddy.

Bob

Oh. I got cable last month.

Larry

You are so early 90s. [Bob is offended] Anyway, Ezzio said he just did something that he knew he wasn't supposed to do. Now his friends are telling him to lie about it so he won't get in trouble. [turns to Bob] What should he do?

Bob

Ooooh, a lie could be a dangerous thing. [looks in other direction] Do we have any stories about that?

Larry

Bob, I'm all over it.

Bob

[turns back to Larry] Huh?

Larry

The same thing happened to Junior Asparagus once!

Bob

It did? I don't remember.

Larry

Ezzio, grab your popcorn, turn down the lights, and get ready for... "Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space!" Roll film! [hops off]

Bob

Huh? Larry! [the countertop lights shuts off, leaving him in the dark both figuratively and literally]

Bob

Wow! That was really something. [to Larry] You did a great job, Larry... uh, Boy.

Thank you, Bob. Um, we need to hurry this along. I have a meeting with the action figure people in ten minutes.

Bob

Action figures?

Yes, Bob. LarryBoy mania is sweeping the nation. If you're not on board, you're gonna miss the train.

Bob

I, uh... I have no idea.

Now, you do.

Well, we gotta clear the stage now, Bob. It's time for the world premiere of my new music video. [hops off]

Bob

Y-You're what? You're joking, right?! [music video credits appear] He's not joking. [follows LarryBoy] Larry, we gotta talk!

Bob the Tomato

Hi, kids, and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato.

Junior Asparagus

And I'm Junior Asparagus.

Bob

And we're here to answer your questions.

Junior

Yep, that's right.

Bob

I bet you're wondering where Larry is. [Junior looks with his smile at the camera] He was a little tired after the last show, so we decided to let him sleep in today. But don't worry, he'll be here pretty soon. In the meantime, Junior Asparagus has very graciously agreed to help out.

Junior

Hi!

Bob

Now, Junior.

Junior

Yes, Bob?

Bob

Today we got a letter from Victor Bartholomew from Sausalito, California.

Junior

Oh. Hi, Victor!

Bob

Victor has a problem. He says there's a kid named Louis in his class who hit him yesterday.

Junior

Oh, my!

Bob

"Oh, my" is right! Now in church, Victor just learned that God wants us to be nice to people; even when they're not nice to us. But Victor doesn't really feel like doing that. Deep down inside, he wants to hit Louis back. What should he do? Should he do it his way or should he do it God's way?

Junior

Oh, wow. I know how you feel, Victor. Sometimes the stuff I learn in church doesn't sound like very much fun, sometimes I feel like doing things my own way, too. [turns to Bob] Do you suppose we have a story about that?

Bob

Oh, do we? Have I ever told you about the Israelites?

Junior

Hmm, the Israelites... Oh yeah, I remember those guys! Weren't they supposed to be God's chosen people?

Bob

That's what the Bible says.

Junior

Oh, I bet they always followed God's directions.

Bob

Oh, ho, ho. You'd think so, wouldn't you? But sometimes God's directions didn't seem to make sense to them. You see...well... maybe I should just show you.

Junior

Huh?

Bob

Close your eyes, Junior, and don't open them until I say so. [closes his eyes]

Junior

[closes his eyes as well] All right!
