[Jimmy and Jerry hops over to QWERTY, who is turned off.]
Hi, QWERTY! Ya got a verse? QWERTY? QWERTY? Uh, QWERTY? Oh, great. Somebody turned off QWERTY! WHO TURNED OFF QWERTY?! [Bob sighs and shakes his head in frustration] Uh, let's see, control, shift, tab, delete. Uh, no, no. [Jerry briefly leaves] Shift, escape, six, option. Uh, no, uh, function, escape, tab, L...
[comes back with a cardboard sign] Hey, Jimmy.
Oh, would you look at that! "Don't be selfish!" Heh, that's a good one. Well, we're out of time for today, kids. Remember, God--
[he and Larry enters] Hold it, hold it! Stop, stop, stop! You can't end a show like that! Well, it's way too short, and the story was kinda, well... I don't know. QWERTY's off, and there's not even a verse! No, no! This is all wrong, we gotta do it again! [hops over closer to the screen and faces the audience] My apologies, boys and girls. We're gonna give this another go around. [to Jimmy and Jerry] Jimmy! Jerry! Take off those ridiculous costumes, we got a real story to tell! [Jimmy and Jerry leaves the countertop, disappointed] Larry, do you remember that letter we got from Lucy Thomas of Bismarck, North Dakota?
LarryUh, yeah. The one where she said she didn't like to play with her sister because she wanted to keep all her toys to herself?
That's the one. I'd say it's time we taught little Lucy a thing or two about being selfish. What do you say?
Larry
I say, aye-aye, skipper! [hops off]
[sighs in relief] It's good to be back. Action!
[first lines; Bob and Larry are on the countertops]
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.
Larry
Yep.
Now this week we got a letter from Pete McGuinness in New Castle, Indiana.
Larry
Hey, Pete.
Pete writes: "Dear Bob and Larry, I'm depressed. All my friends are in Mrs. Peterson's class, but I got stuck in Mr. Schubert's class. If God loves me, why do bad things happen? Your friend, Pete." Wow, that's a tricky one!
Larry
Sure is.
Well, Pete, I know a Bible story that I think could help you a lot.
Larry
Uh, Bob?
Larry
I thought we were gonna do a Western this time.
Larry
A Western! You know, with cowboys and tumbleweeds and little dogies... you promised me we could right before I went to cowboy camp!
[chuckles nervously] I think what Pete needs here is a Bible story. Larry...
Larry
You promised, Bob.
"Promise?" Did I really say... "promise?"
Larry
[annoyed] Yes, you did, Bob.
I really think we need to do a Bible story.
Larry
A Western, Bob!
Larry
[angrily] A WESTERN, BOB!
[gasps, then realizes the kids are still watching them] Can we have a second?
[A "technical difficulties" screen comes down as we hear Bob and Larry arguing about whether to do a Western or a Bible story. After several seconds, the screen comes back up.]
[clears throat] Well, after a bit of discussion, Larry and I have decided that what you really need, Pete, is a Western...Bible story.
Larry
That's right.
So, without further ado...
Larry
"The Ballad of Little Joe!"
[after "Sumo of the Opera" ended]
Well, Larry, what do you think? Are you ready to persevere and keep on keepin' on to the toy drive?
[Telephone busy signal sound effect coming from Bob's phone]
WSWoman's voice on recording
If you'd like to make a call please hang up and try again. If you need help hang up and then dial your operator.
Larry? Larry?! Oh, no. He must've ran out of quarters. I sure hope he--
Larry
[enters] Hi, Bob.
Larry
Yep. Here I am.
Well... What about the kids? I don't know how much of the story you heard, but it was p--
Larry
I pretty much heard the whole thing. Ran out of quarters right near at the end. But I had a great time with the kids, Bob! I helped give away toys, and we had sandwiches, took pictures. You should have seen the look on their faces, it was so cool!
Huh, when I heard the busy signal, I thought you'd given up.
Larry
Nope! I got right back on the subway, got off at the 81 bus, took that to the 49, grabbed a burrito, got on the 92, hopped 3 more blocks and I was there!
Larry
But worth it.
Well, what do you say we talk about what we learned today?
[after QWERTY steamed up and broke down, startling Bob and Larry]
Larry
QWERTY, you okay?!
LLutfi (Khalil)
[pops up] Sorry.
LLutfi
Lutfi fits into tiny places.
LLutfi
Oh, no, I did not kill him. I just made him sputter in smoke, but there is a difference.
Well, we're gonna have to get him repaired and we need a verse now! What are we gonna do?
LLutfi
Lutfi might be teensy weensy, but he is a great big helper who knows his scripture memory verses!
Larry
Memory verses?
[first lines; Bob is on the countertops]
Hi, kids! I'm Bob the Tomato, and welcome to-- [horn honks, the Jeep passes by him on the right] Uh, I'm Bob the Tomato, and welcome to-- [The Jeep passes by him again on the left] Larry, what are you doing? Come over here!
Larry
[offscreen] I'll be right there!
[Larry screeches his Jeep into the countertops.]
Larry
It's my new Suzy Action Jeep. I've been wanting it just forever, and now it's finally mine!
Wow! You must be pretty happy to get a cool toy like that.
Larry
Oh, yeah. Well, almost.
Larry
[hops out of his Jeep] Well, there's just one more thing I need to be really happy.
Larry
The camper.
Larry
The Suzy Action Camper. You just hook it up to the trailer hitch on my action Jeep and I'll be ready for a weekend of wilderness fun.
Oh, so once you get the camper, then you'll be happy?
Larry
I don't know. There's also the dirt bike.
Larry
And the jet ski.
Larry
And the action hang glider.
Larry. How much stuff do you need to be happy?
Larry
I don't know. How much stuff is there?
Heh-heh. Maybe this would be a good topic for today's show.
[offscreen] Hold that thought, tomato!
Huh? [The French Peas enters the countertops] Hey! It's the French Peas. Hi, Jean-Claude. Hello, Phillipe.
PPhillipe
Hello, monsieur Bob. I think we can help.
Oui! Tell me, Tomato, where do French Peas come from?
That's right, and in France, we have a story that I think will answer your question. It's called "Madame Blueberry."
Larry
"Madame Blueberry?" I think I've seen that one. Doesn't it have Jerry Lewis in it?
No, be quiet and watch the film.
Larry
Sorry.
And now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry, the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings-
Just a moment! Wait! Stop talking! [Archibald runs out on stage as a bear-trapped Larry stands and watches] Excuse me, I have an announcement. Ahem... Because of the high standard we on this show strive to adhere to, and as a result of the disastrous outcome of the previous Silly Song, management has decided to review compositions from other performers for this segment. Several artists were screened and we chose one based on the applicant's sense of artistry and all-around proprietary. Thank you.
Larry
So what are you saying?
I'm saying that Silly Songs is cancelled until further notice.
Larry
[blinks in disbelief] Oh yeah?! Well, how'm I supposed to get out of this bear trap?
I'm sure you'll figure something out.
[Construction peas move a new title card into view]
And now it's time for Love Songs with Mr. Lunt, the part of the show where Mr. Lunt comes out and sings a love song.
[seeing her house about to tip] My house!
Larry
It's so stuffed full of stuff, it's getting too heavy for the tree!
We've gotta stop those deliveries before it's too late! Come on, Larry! Grab a cart!
[Bob and Madame Blueberry drive two respective shopping carts, while Larry is left sitting in a shopping basket.]
[After "Madame Blueberry" ended; Bob and Larry are crying on the countertops]
Larry
Hold me, Bob!
[offscreen] Pull yourselves together!
PPhillipe
[offscreen] Yes, you have a show to wrap up!
Oh, you're right... I'm sorry, where were we?
Larry
[sniffling] Madame Blueberry..!
All right! That does it! [he and Phillipe] Cue the music!
PPhillipe
Unless, of course, you have any objections...
No... I don't care... go ahead...
